On the other hand, cotton goods prices have declined during ‘the past month o s0. A ralse of one-eighth cent a yard on gray cloths for converters' se, effected this week, constitutes merely a trifle, in view of the fact that cotton today costs something like 7 cents a pound more than It did i year ago, while the price of such cloths averdges & cents & pound less. reign buying, which has again }da).

And\t was this same man who asserted that a remedy could and would be compounded that would make creaky, swollen, tormented jolnts work with just as much smoothness as they ever did. Now this prescription, rightly named Joint-Ense, after being tested successfully on many obsti- nate cases, is offered through pro- gressive pharmacists to the mil- lions of people who suffer from alling joints that need limber- ng up. 3 wollen, twingy, inflamed, stiff. pain-tormented joints are usually caused by rheumatism, but what- ever the cause Joint-Ease soaks right in through skin and flesh and gets right to and corrects the trouble %t its-source.
