The Agitation Against the United States

London, Nov. 1.-The Spectator,
discussing the continued agitation in
central Europe against the United
States, says to-day: "There is, in
fact, a real danger If the conserva-
tive parties on the continent, which
include the agrarians, clericals and
absolutists and the vast mass of the
peasantry, should achieve tempo
rary triumph, grand effort will be
made to boycott the United States
and the Argentine republic as a pro-
lection for vital interests threatened
by their competition. Although the
movement will pass, and probably the
hatred with it, the common enemies
and common interests of England and
America will tend to drive all who
speak English and sell and buy
food freely into single defensive
group"

ID the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison
Ivy, and all noxious plants. 1t is conf
posed exclusively Of roots and herbs. Now
is the time to get the poison out Of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don't experiment longer with
saves, washes and soaps-they never cure.
Mr.. 8. M. Marshall, bookkeeper OF the Atlanta
(Ga.) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison
Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs, and applied externally numerous
lotions and saves with no benefit. AT times the
swelling and inflammation was 80 severe he was
almost blind. For eight years the poison would
break out every season. His condition was much
Improved after taking one bottle Of S. S. S., and
few bottles cleared his blood OF the poison and
all evidences Of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our physicians, and they will
cheerfully give such information and ad.
vice as You require, without charge, and
we will send at the same time an interest.

TWICE TOLD TALES.
No Meat Extracted From Them by
Some Who Most Need the Facts.

We have more than twice told the
reader of the fact that he or she may
perhaps easily discover the cause of the
daily i'll feeling and the experiment is
not difficult to make.
But there are readers who think truths
are for some one else and not for them
selves.
Some day the oft-told fact will flash
,,pon us as applicable when the knowl-
edge comes home. that day after day OF
Inconvenience and perhaps of suffering
has been endured, the cause not being
recognized or believed, altho we may
have been told of the cause many times
over. but never believed it applied to us.
1t would startle person to know now
many people suffer because they drug
themselves daily with coffee. We re-
neat it, it is powerful drug. and so af-
fects the delicate nervous system that
disease may appear in any part OF the
body, all parts being dependent for
health on a healthy nervous system.
Relief from coffee for thirty days has
cured thousands of people who never
suspected the cause of their troubles.
The use of Postum Food Coffee is of
great benefit to such, as it goes to work
directly to rebuild the delicate cell struc-
lures from the elements nature selects
for the work. Relief from heavy drug
and the taking of proper nourishment is
the true and only permanent method.

Chicago Nov. 25.-Trade in wheat
opened steady today at about Satur-
days closing prices. Business was small
in volume early. tho offerings were
scanty and commission houses were
moderate buyers. Gables We're slightly
improved in response to the better con-
dition here Saturday, and December
started a shade higher to shade lower
at 72ss 4T24. The worlds statistics did
not have much effect early. The in
crease in breadstuffs on passage was
only 1853. 900 bushels and the world $
shipments. tho l0,l50o08 bushels against
S,972 600 last week, showed over half
coming from this country. The North
western movement was about I'M
changed, but there was still no rain in
the southwest. December early sold up
to 721s, but soon after Jagged. AT the
end of the first hour December was at
its opening price.
The increase of over 81 million
bushels in the visible supply had a
weakening effect on wheat. December
sagged off to 72is. The bouyancy in
corn and oats brought good prices
again. but December closed about
steady, a shade lower at Tx.
Corn opened strong under heavy gen.
eral trade. Gables were we'll up and
December, which ruled relatively "
higher than May, started A@A higher
at Ga. @62A There was a good profess
sional as well as cash demand. and on
light offerings December sold up to 62ss.
Commission houses did good business
on both sides of the market. Later con-
ditions eased a little and on profits De-
cember sold at CPS.
The late trade in corn was excited,
fluctuations being rapid and narrow.
December closed strong cent higher
at 621a.
Oats started strong on firm cash sit
uation and December opened 3s@is
higher at 427s943. Offerings were very
light. Commission houses We're work
ing both sides of the market and later
there came an easier feeling, which
brought December down to 42sa.
Provisions opened higher all around
on lighter receipts and high prices at
the stock yards.
