No matter how much you prefer a Tooth Wash, Peroxide or other
Liquid Cleanser, for the mouth you should use a good Tooth Pow-
der at least once a week. A good Tooth Powder does what liquid
preparations can't do. , ,
TOOTH POWDER
is the one you should use. It is free from NGrit and Acid, cleanses
perfectly. It scours but does not scratch the enamel and gives a
feeling of tooth cleanliness; that you do not experience with any
other Tooth Preparation.

Many of them are depositors with this bank, and would recom-
mend it to you as a safe, responsible, accommodating institution.
The chances of accumplating a cash reserve outside of a bank are
small, and even when moderately suceess&tl,danger lurks in a mul-

Yeterday's Cotton.
Liverpool, quiet, 1 to 2 points up.
New York, on old, 2 points up to

points down.
New Orleans on old 6 points UP

There was quiet in the cotton mar-
kets Wednesday, the day being prob-
ably the quietest of any since the ex-
changes resumed future trading." Net
price changes were small, New York
futures closing 2 points up to 1 point
down on old and contracts and un-
changed to 2 points down on new;
In New Orleans old contracts'closed
6 points up to 4 points down, and
new 2 points up to 1 point down.
Liverpool futures closed quiet and 1
to 2 points up. Cables were more
favorable than otherwise, and this ln<
spired a slight advance in the early
market on this side, but the gains
were not entirely held. Bulls in New
Orleans claimed to be impressed
with the export situation, but bought
little co.ttch on the strength of it,
Oh the other hand, offerings were
few, and thus the market went
through the day. In New York a
private estimate of 16,750,000 bales,
excluding linters, acted in a bearish
way on the market and there was
some scattering liquidation. Fear
of a high government estimate kept
buyers away and of a low estimate
held sellers in check.
American, spot markets were gen-
erally unchanged. N^w York was
quiet, Galveston steady, Houston and
New Orleans quiet. Middling re-
mained at 3-4 in Houston and at 7
5-8 in Galveston. In Liverpool sales
of spots aggregated 8,000 bales, in-
quiry was called fair, and prices were
steady and 1 point lower.
Receipts of cotton at Houston ag-
gregated 13,157 bales, against 13,26g
bales the day before and 14,218 bales
yesterday a year ago. Shipments
were 13,436 bales. Total receipts
thus far thlB year are 1,254,740 bale!
against 1,808,140 bales last year to'
the same date. The excess of stock
at ports grows slightly, yesterday
showing 212,092 bales above last
year's stock.
The heavy rains in Texas like-
ly to impede the movement of cot
ton for several days.
The trade is awaiting with consid
erable interest the government's es-
timate of the crop, which will come
out December 10. In the means, a

Fort oWrth, Texas, December 3.—
Salesmen were inclined to quote a
lower market on butcher ateera and
cowa Wednesday, though moat buy-
ers contended that pricea were steady.
At any rate, if prices were shaded,
the loss was no more than a dime.
Bulla and calvea sold at steady rates,
and on such atockera as sold prices
were quotably unchanged. Receipts
wore moderate, only 4800 cattle and
500 calves being estimated for the
day and more than half of the sup-
ply did not reach the yards until late
in the afternoon, with the result that
several consignments could not be
shown to advantage and were placed
under lock and key.
As a rule sellers called beef steers
values a dime lower. Killers, how-
ever, were such that prices were In
line with Tuesday's market on par-
ticular stuff. Most of the supply
consisted of steers that bordered on
the feeder order, but still could not
be classed as feeders, and having to
clear as killers, prices naturally look-
ed lower to salesmen, as feeder buy-
ers are paying better rates than kill-
ers are granting. 8everal cars went
at a range of 6.75 to 7.70.
In some quarters cows were quot-
ed a dime lower, but for the good
part it looked like a steady market
as several outside buyers were in the
bidding and competition was strong.
It was a case of one buyer putting on
something over the others bid, and in
this manner sellers got Jt>y to fairly
good advantage. Good cows sold at
5.50 to 5.60, with canners and cutters
making 4.00 to 5.25.
Bulls were steady at a range of
4.25 to 5.50. '
Very few calf consignments were
on hand. Tbq market was active and
Steady, with sales at a general range
of 4.50 to 5.fcfc
The few fon#ignments of steers
that cleared through the stocker and
feeder channels of the trade brought
prices that were about steady. Sales
wore arouqdf 6.001 to 6.75. Few
changes were noted in values on
stocker cows and heifers. The stock
er caM market was steady.
Excessive receipts at Chicago prov
ed the undoing of the hog market
again Wednesday. That market re-
ported 60,000 head, following a sup-
ply of about 50,000 Tuesday. As a
result prices were hammered ail
around 4he board. Receipts here
were close to *3{#00vbead. The op-
ening scale of prices^ was 80 to ,260
tower, and the closing basis about
15c under Tuesday's levelB, the aver-
age decline for the day being 20c.
Choice hogs sold at 7.10 and 7.05.
Bulk sales made a range of 6.80 to
7.00.
Just 100 sheep arrived. The mar-
ket was active and steady with lambs
bringing 7.25 to 7.50.
Hogs Down 50c.
Another 20c decline hit the hog
market Wednesday following the 30c
slice taken off Tuesday, making a
decline of half a dollar per hundred
on swine in the Houston market with-
in the past two days, according to the

SANTA FE MOVES
COLONIZATION MAN
TO KANSAS CITY
Galveston, Texas, Dec. 3.—R. J.
Kennedy, colonization agent for the
Gulf, Colorado and Suita Fc, has
been moved to Kansas City, where
he will maintain headquarters and
be known as the point colonization
agent for the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe. This was effective on De-
cember 1 and was learned here yes-
terday. N. E. Hendrickson, chief
clerk in the development department
of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
accompanied Mr. Kennedy to Kansas
City, where he becomes chief clerk
in the new office.
The development department for
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe was
created for the purpose of securing
concerted action and thereby, more
effective results in the line of devel-
opments along the Santa Fe system
and the transferring of Mr. Kennedy
to Kansas City will bring about more
effectual work in the matter of col-
onization.
It was learned that no colonization
agent will be appointed for the
Gulf, Colorado and aSnta Fe, Mr.
Kennedy attending to the work for
both lines. Who will succeed Mr.
Hendrickson, the chief clerk in the
development department here, is not
known and the appointment if one
is made, will not take place until J.
S. Hershey, general freight agent, re-
turns to the city.
Under the plan for operating the
development department Mr. Kennedy
and Mr. Tinsley. the agricultural
demonstrator, reported to W. S.
Keenan, the gerferal passenger agent,
and Mr. Hill and Mr. Flrazelton re-
ported to Mr, Hershey.
There will be no change in the
operation of the development depart-
ment here, according to announce-
ments made yesterday.

MARRIAGE LICENSE EXEMPT
No Stamp Tax Assessed but Scare
Was Given
Chicago, Dec. 3.—Frightened by
reports from Muskogee, Fort Smith
and other places that marriage licen-
ses required the 10-cent government
war tax stamp, many who have uti-
lized licenses here since November 30
appealed to the internal revenue of-
fice Wednesday to learn whether
they were liable to prosecution.
Julius Smietanka, collector of in-
ternal revenue, declared that no stamp
was required for the license. Only
when a certified copy is required to
prove marriage, as in a divorce pro-
ceeding, is the stamp necessary, he
declared.
of the Houston Packing company.
The chief reason for the' decline Is
the heavy receipts at central State
markets and lower prices there, the
Texas markets being in sympathy
with them.
Best 200-pound hogs yesterday
sold at 7.00 per hundred even, 150-
pounjj weight made 6.75 and 125-
pound weight made 6.'00 to 6.20.
Prices of pigs were affected also in
the decline, 125-pound pigs being;
marked down from 5.25 @6.00 to 5.-
00 @5.50, a cut of half a dollar in
the top price.
These prices are considerably be-
low the prices of the same day a
year ago, when 200-pound hogs were
quoted at 7.55 @7.75 per hundred,
150-pound weight at 7.25@7.35, 125-
pounds, 6.65@7.00 and pigs, 5.50@
6.26.
WILL YOU SUFFER THIS PENALTY?
The neglect of your teeth will eventually be the direct cause of
their destruction. You are probably aware of the fact that the
physical and mental suffering undergone during this tooth destruc-
tion is severe. The many hours of aches and pains are wearing in
the extreme and if long continued
often cause mental and physical dis-
orders that are dangerous.
WILL YOU SUFFER THIS
PENALTY?
It is unnecessary that you should,
when by daily cleansing your teeth and regular visits to competent
dentists you can keep your teeth in perfect condition.
We are most reasonable in our charges and guarantee perfect sat-
isfaction.
