II we could trace dyspepsia 10 its
source, it would lead back to our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking. If well cooked, foods
are partially digested; If poorly cooked
they are less digestible than in their raw
state. II you are victim of faulty
cooking: that is, If you suffer from
dyspepsia, the rational cure must be
looked for in an artiticially digested
food, and food which will at the same
time aid the digestion Of other foods.
Such preparation virtually rests the
tired digestive organs, thereby restor.
ing them TO their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, az prepared by
the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just
such preparation. and a single 10 cen,
bottle will convince you of its value. II
your druggist doesn't keep it, he will
be glad to get il through his wholesale
house.

Tends to Dignity.

Sentimentalists may weep over 1t and
statisticians who regard numbers rather
than the quality Of populations may soold
about it, but the fact remains that the ne
cessity which has forced women TO earn a
livelihood outside of home has tended to
dignity the position of the sex. A woman
is said to be supporting herself when she
earns money at outside of the home work
in contradistinction to one-be she wife, Oh
mother or sister-who enacts the role OF
housekeeper, nurse, cook and maid of all
work for some man in return for her
clothes and maintenance, and who Is spo-
ken of as being supported. The home
service, be it observed, is considered as OF
no special account, the wife or mother,
however hard she works, being never re-
garded as self supporting. Vogue

while that one fades, as summers flush OF

WHEAT DOOMED AGAIN.
Report of a Scarcityin France Send
the Price Up-SWitzerland
Orders Grain.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-Wheat had an
other boom today. September advanced
3 cents from yesterdays closing and reg
istered net advance of 21a to 21s cents.
Rumors that the French government had
decided to remove the import duty on
certain grades of wheat used for milling
were put afoat early in the session. But
little credence was placed in these re-
ports, mainly because Paris quoted wheat
at an advance of cents. The closing
cables from that market, however,
showed a decline of 20 to 40 centimes
and were taken an ample confirmation
of the early rumors. September wheat
sold as low as S11a cents at the opening.
On receipt of the Paris closing quota
tons the price was bid up eXcitedly to
S4$S cents and reacted only y of cent
at the close. The seabOard reported bids
from French importers on a large scale.
New York. Aug. 14.-The most inter
esting incident in the wheat market is an
order received from the heart of SwitZer-
land for 10000 quintals Q10 tons) of
hard red No. 1 Manitoba wheat, Ameri-
cas- best grade. The order was small.
but it fully exhibited the strait of France.
which has always supplied Switzerland
with wheat. During the week one firm
has booked orders for over 1000, 900
bushels of wheat for France An order
for 100000 bushels November delivery
for that country has been received.

AMERICAN YACHT WINS.
The Mono Defeats the Canadian
Yacht Glercairn at
Montreal.

Montreal, Aug. IA light breeze and
smooth water were the conditions under
which the first race between Glencairn,
representing the Royal st. Lawrence
Yacht club, and Mono, the American
challenger for the SeaWanhaka-Corint
ian challenge trophy for one-raters, were
sailed today. At o'clock this morning
scarcely a ripple disturbed the surface
of Lake st. Louis, where the race was
sailed. Glencairn II. was the favOrite.
The Glencairn crossed the line first but
Mono soon caught and passed her,
steadily increasing the lead until at the
fOur-mile mark she was 1000 yards
ahead of Glencairn. The sailing capacity
Of Mono proved superior throughout the
race and she crossed the line winner at
2:231h.
Glencairn crossed at 2:27H. The
elapsed time of the winning boat was
2:4S12, the official start being made at
11:40 a. m.
Mono sailed a beautiful race through
out, and her showing was great sur
prise, even to her friends. 1t is now con-
ceded that the American challenger is
likely to be a sure winner of the series
and will take the cup back to the Sea-
wanhaka-C orinthan club, which she rep
resents.
Mono crossed the finish line at 2:23i3
and Glencairn at 2:271h.
1t COW appears that Glencairn stove a
four-inch square hole in her bow by
fOuling the buoy at the start, and was
compelled TO sail on an even keel.

GOING TO ALASKA.
'Whaleback Steamer Christopher
Columbus to Sail Hereafter
in Arctic Seas.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 14.-The whaleback
is going to Klondike! Chicago's pride
and joy, the steamer Christopher Column
bus, commonly known as the whaleback,
will be cut in two, carried down to the
Atlantic coast, put together again, steam
around Cape Horn, and go into the
business of carrying eager gold-seekers
from Seattle to the Yukon.
The whaleback is practically owned by
tRockefeller. She is to be bought by a
Rockefeller syndicate. Negotiations have
been going on for some little time, and
now the matter is practically settled.
The steamer will stay here until the
end OF the excursion season-doubtleSS
proving more popular than ever, since
blessings brighten as they take their
flight
Then she will be taken up to West
Superior, Wis, to the yards of the Ameri-
can Steel Barge company, where she was
built, TO be put in shape for transporta-
ton east.
The Christopher Columbus is at present
just 175 feet too long to get through the
locks of the Welland canal around Nj
agara Falls. Her length is 362 feet on
the water line, and 42S feet over all.
The steamer is built in ten water-tight
compartments, or sections, and it will be
Il comparatively simple matter to knock
out the riyets just abaft the second tur-
ret, Sulkhead up the remnants, and tow
them down the St. Lawrence to the
ocean.
The division will be made between the
cafe and the coal bunkers. There are
seven turrets in all, so that the two pieces
will be of very uneven size. The bigger
piece will have all the machinery and
can steam along by itself, if this is
thought advisable.
There was even some laughing discus
sion Of letting the stern tow the bow
Probably, however, each part win be
given in charge of a tug. since the big
piece will be very unWieldy when it is
deprived of a proper bow
The two parts will probably be taken in
the drydocks at Brooklyn. There it will
not take long to splice them together
again, and then all that will be between
the boat and the profitable Klondike trade
will be the small voyage around Cape
Horn, q distance of some $4,000 odd
miles.
This trip around the cape will be a
pleasant voyage of three months in the
comfortable warmth of the Southern
summer, while the Northern hemisphere
is Shivering in the winters cold.
The whaleback need not be grudged
her summer weather, however, since It is
little of summer she will see hereafter,
until the gold mines cease from troubling
and the miners are at rest.

BELIEVE HE HAS THE MAN.
Inspector Hunt Expects to Catch
the Man Who Shot Q. 3. Nell
son in July.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 14.-Inspector
Hunt believes he has discovered the man
who shot c.. B. Nelson when the latter
was in Washington park the night of
July l, in company with Mrs. Edith
Staples. He refuses to give the name of
the man suspected, on the ground that
not enough evidence has been secured to
warrant his arrest and insure his convlc-
ton.
1t has been found by the police that
man who lives west of Washington park
was in the park the night Nelson was
shot. He was looking for his wife, who
he believed was with another man. 1t
is the opinion of the police that his wife
was dressed in bicycle costume similar
to the one worn by Mrs. Staples, and he
mistook Nelson and his companion for
his wife and her friend. He shot Mel
son and ran forward to shoot Mrs. Sta
pies, and, when he grasped her and
pressed the revolver against her, he dis
covered she was not his wife. He then
turned and fled, knowing he had shot the
wrong man.
Mrs. Staples is at present out of the
city and her relatives refuse to tell the
police where she is. A great deal de-
ponds upon whether she can Identify the
man. AS soon as she can be brought to
the city the suspect will be taken before
her. Mrs. Staples confinement at the
Hyde Park police station for several days
after the shooting and her knowledge that
she was suspected of knowing more
about the shooting than she was willing
to tell wore upon her nervous system,
and after her release she was taken into
the country to regain her health.
Her brother-in-law, William Keck, told
Inspector Hunt that he would not have
Mrs. Staples return to Chicago unless
Nelson's assailant is arrested.
