THE TROUBLE WITH THE WATCH

'It stops occasionally, and you have to
shake it hard to make it go, don't you?"
inquired the jeweler after he had examined

"Perhaps you don't blow through the
works to get the dust out as often as you
should"
"I've done that dozens Of times, and it
doesn't seem to do any good"
"Well, what really ails the watch is that
it has darned fool for an owner" said
the jeweler.
This, however, was the remark he made
to himself. What he said to the customer
was that it needed about SIS worth Of re-
pairs.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that a man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt" is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give g free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got a medical education and certificate
to the fact, in the form of a diploma
And in this particular woman has no
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. ", has sheen initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give medical
advice" that word of caution is neces-
sary
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not a ply
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these "artists gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet, There was only one
Millet
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to DR.. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DIR. Pierce, by letter, free Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

HAY AND FEEDSTUFFS.

The Hay situation is getting interesting
again The crop of Los Angeles County is a
failure and warehousemen at Hollister and
Tres Pinos reported partial failure in those
sections yesterday. If Los Angeles has to come
north for Hay this year it will make a great
difference with the market. but if Texas and
Arizona supply her wants the failure will have
no effect whatever. In view of the very low
prices now ruling a large acreage will be cut
for grain this year, and in this event the pro-
duction of Hay will be much smaller than has
been expected up to this date. The situation
is complicated and dealers do not know ex-
actly where they stand in reference to the
coming crop.

change.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Government crop re-
port, which suggested yield of 10000, 600
bushels. gave wheat a weak start. The senti-
ment. however, changed and the market
became strong on reports from several States
of the appearance of chinch bugs. The buying
was weak hearted, and when advices re-
ceived from Buffalo that the announcement OF
an early compromise of the labor troubles was
premature everybody who had wheat began to
unload The market declined steadily to the
close. July opened sale lower at 7l471lsc. ad-
vanced to 72c. declined to Tic. Many stop
loss orders were reached at tic and their ex-
ecution caused slump TO 924dG97sc. The
close was at 76c. Light receipts and good
cash demand strengthened corn. but part OF
the advance lost in sympathy with the
weakness in wheat. July 1snAc lower, ad-
vanced to 34c and declined TO 33l4c at the close.
Oats followed corn. July closed sc higher:
Provisions were steady early in sympathy
with the strength Of grains but de
