BILE BEANS! What a funny name
for a medicine! Nevertheless it is very
significant as applied to the article.
Bile, according to Webster, is "a yell
lowish bitter. viscid nausceous fluid,
secreted by the liver" Whenever the
liver does not act properly this fluid is
retained in the blood and poisons the
whole system, and sallowness and misery
IS the result. SMITHS BILE BEANS
is a sure cure for biliousneSs and liver
complaint. Price, % cents per bottle.

has the appearance of a Hebrew, and it is

eventful day in the wheat market, and the
option trading was simply phenomenal,
over 90. 100000 bushels changing hands,
making total of over $1,000, 600 bushels
for two days, something that has never be-
fore been known in the history Of the grain
trade 1t is claimed among brokers' on the
floor that the speculative interest is steadily
turning from Chicago to this city. Some
merchants attribute the increased activity
to the abolition of trading in puts and calls
by the Chicago board Of trade. During the
day there was considerable excitement, al
though the fluctuations were within mar
row range of 15@& cents. O''Shorts" were
heavy buyers. and considerable ''long"
wheat was thrown on the market without
having much effect. Prices were a shade
lower at the close as compared with the
current rates of yesterday.
