After Walking On The Street
Your Mouth I» Full Of Germs

Everybody knows that billions and billions
of germs are floating around ns all the time.
Out in the street they are many times more
numerous. The germs of tuberculosis
usually float in dust-laden air. The germs
enter the mouth and nose where they in-
cubate and dovelop. Pneumonia and diph-
theria and most lung troubles come this
way. Kadentol is a mouth wash that
hinders the development of germs and bac-
teria. The throat should be gargled with
it and the mouth rinsed out whenever you
come iu l'rom a walk on a dusty or crowded
street.

f
Mouth Wash
Protects You
Kadentol is a deodorant and does
away with embarrassing mouth
odors. It keeps the mouth pure,
clean and sweet. Kadentol prevents
the decay of the teeth and thereby
saves them. 11 is also a prophylac-
tic for pyorrhea.
Use it Daily
Kadentol is strong but does
not irritate or harm the
mucous membrane. It is
used and recommended by
dentists and lias no substi-
tute. It is a practical
mouth wash that will save
your teeth and protect your
health. Kadentol leaves a
pleasant taste in your
mouth.

Saved An
Operation
We Must Guard
Our Girls
On the threshold of womanhood
comes the crisis which means
health or invalidism. Three gen-
erations ago an old sonthern doc-
tor wrote a prescription for the
ills of women, which has bccome
known to fame as4" Stella Vitae;1'
has boon the right thing at the
right time for thousands of
young girls, down to the present
day. Try it for YOUR daugh-
ter. Money refunded if FIRST
BOTTLE does not benefit.
MR. W. F. KELSON, n merchant of
IH2on,Teiin.,payB: Thattho danffhtor
of one of his neighbor*, Mr. Jnmoj*
Roberta, was in such a condition with
female trouble that an operation was
advised, and the young lady was sent to
Chattanooga for its performance. Hho
dreaded the operation, and STELLA
VITAE having been recommended,
decided to try that first. Sho has taken
I six bottles and is happily on the road
to roeovery. Hhe is able to do her usual
I work and Is in better health than for
years before, but continues to use it.
She writes: "STELLA VITAE will do
all you claim." Iler father says "She
began to improvo at once, aftor taking
STELLA VITAE."

Charging that sugar refineries are quot-
ing sugar Ht 14 to 1.1 cents a pound with
none to sell, while anyone can buy sugar
frotn speculators at 17 to 10 cents a pound,
the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Assoeia-
j tion with offices at Jacksonville, Fla, has
• laid before Attorney (Jeneral A. Mitchell
1 I aimer charges an the basis for investiga-
tion. A bulletin addressed to the whole-
sale grocers «»f the country who nre uiera-
u rs ^ Association was received in
I Bart Antonio yesterday.
i Letters and communications from wide-
i *y ®eparat»M| sections, Its says, show that
1 wholesale grocers are unable to buy sugar
irom ivlimTH who are quoting prices of
*1!!' .^l,J cenls4 Mud in some instances
as high an i:» cents, while anyone can
»ny from brokers and speculators at l?
to r.) cents a pound, ft is furthermore
intimated that the price at which re-
finers bought the raw sugar from the
' uban growers does not warrant the price
.. ^ ,to In one instance it i*
alleged that a Southern broker quoted
a price of 19 cents on Louisiana sugar,
which Attorney General i'alin.r ruled
should be sold to the wholesaler at 17
cents.
declaring that the Association has suf-
ficient documentary evidence with which
to substantiate its stateiu. nts, the bull, 'in
to the members says that steps are beinfr
taken by the Association to correct the
condltlou. The bulletin declares that the
bulk of the sugar of the country is in
the hands of speculators whose names the
Association is not willing to make public
at this time, and states further that it is
not able to say at this time t<» what ex-
tent refiners are acting iu good faith with
the wholesalers.
The wholesalers are demanding to know
who buys the 14 and 14*« cent sugar which
the refiners quote. They assert that they
are not abb* to buy any or very little
from the refiners. They intimate that it
Is all sold to speculators.
Letters were sent by the Association to
refiners asking for answers to certain
questions. In the replies refiners in some
instances charge that the situation is due
to speculiitors buying tli raw Cuban
sugar and hiring refiners to refine it on
toll, and this sugar is then resold to the
trade by the people for whose account it
Ik refined Each of the refiners answer
ing asserts that he is not guilty* of this
practice but that competitors an-.
The bulletin quotes from a letter re-
eeived from the Federal Sugar Uefining
Company which It thinks is especially
significant In that the letter was written
by Frank C. Lowry, "a recognized sugar
authority lu this country." The quota-
tion Is as follows: "There are all kinds
of speculators iu the game, and sugar is
consequently changing hands many times
before it reaches the wholesale or retail
distributor."
L'nder Government regulations refiners
are required to take cure of their cus-
tomers and distribute the sugar which
they have pro rata among their customers
based on previous business, thus keeping
i the sugar out <>f the hands of specula-
tors. Hy refining sugar for speculators
| on toll the speculators sell for refiners
I the part paid at toll at the speculative
| high price, it is charged. The reflnet
thus gets the benefit of the additional
profit. Furthermore, the speculator hav-
ing had no regular customers in times
past is under no obligation to distribute
the supply evenly, which allows room for
manipulation by which the price is kept
up

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
Freight conditions continue to Improve
on all lines of railroads but without any
change in embargo regulations since the
removal of the embargo at Fort Worth
and Oklahoma City This Is clue to the
fact that it takes some days to remove
the accumulation of freight at the con-
gested centers. Hallroad ruen In San An-

counts of the situation. Several train-
loads of cattle moved ont of San An-
