GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. August S.-Corn was ham mered by the bears fast and fiercely to- day. The growing crop was ripening too rapidly under the influences of per- feet weather to suit holders. In the general alarm there was panicky drop of 2&4c. q decline of 41ac since yester- days closing price, and over 1c in q week. The pit and country side are both bearish. At the close September corn was 2AGp22sc depressed; Septem- Der wheat a4M7sc down and September oats 34c lower. Provisions had inherent strength, but closed unchanged to 35c lowr on grain influence.
 September corn, which sold early at 533s GDj312c. floundered at 507sc, closing al 51Ac. September wheat opened 6S3sc to GS24c. sold 6S2l 6D6S7sc. broke to 6724 C and closed CSC. September oats sold from 315sc down to 3O7sc and closed 31c.

THE RESCUE OF

By Troops Guarding the Trouble d
 Shenandoah Region.

Shenandoah, Pa. August S.-A pla- tocn Of the governors troop of cavalry went to Turkey Run Hill today on an errand of mercy and rescued a small family from the violence ot their neigh bors. Petty acts of violence have been reported from that territory nearly every day for q week. Today General Gobin received a pathetic letter from the wife of a non-union workman who iS employed in the Gilbcrton colliery of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, in which she tells of the treatment accorded her by the strikers in that vicinity. Among other things she said rocks had been thrown through the windows at night, one of them nearly striking her sleeping child the house was damaged, and while she was cut Of doors one night a shot was fired al her. She also said crowds gath cred around the house. hooted and icered a her and her child and hung crepe on the door.

London, August S.-Witn the cG-Gna- ton less than a day distant, London maintains it's every day appearance. 1t is true that the short route Of the procession is decorated at some points more brilliantly than before, but the route is a mere Speck in the great area of the city, and even on the streets to be traVerSed by the procession there are few sight seers. The main thor oughfares, miles of which Were gay with flags and bunting in June, are now stripped, except for the illumination fixtures, which Were allowed to remain in place. Cheapside, Fleet street and the Strand, all told, contain scarcely six decorated buildings. Today the crowds were even smaller than on the average week day, owing largely l. the miserable weather, which is now de- nominated kings weather" just as sunshine was always connected with the queen.

SWEET BREATH
When Coffee Is Left Off.

< test was made to find if just the i.nvins off Of coffee alone would pro- duce an equal condition Of health as when coffee is lett off and postum Food Coffee used in its place.
 A man from Clinton, Wis, made the experiment. He says: About year ago left off drinking coffee and tea and began to use Pcstum. For several years previous my system had been in Wretched condition. l always had d thickly fulred, bilious tongue and foul breath. often accompanied by severe headaches. l was troubled all the time with chronic constipation, so that l was mcrose in disposition and almost dis cUuraged.
 At the end of the first week after making the change from coffee to Postum l witnessed marvellous change ia myself. My once coated tongue cleared off, my appetite in creased, breath became sweet and the headaches ceased entirely. One thing l wish to state emphatically, you have in Postum a virgin remedy for consti- patton. for l certainly had about the worst case ever known among mortals ard l am completely cured or it. I feel i'll every way like new person.
 During the last summer I concluded that l would experiment to see if the Postum kept me in good shape or whether l had gotten we'll from just leaving off coffee. So 1 quit Postum for quite q time and drank cocoa and water. I found out before two weeks were past that something was wrong and I began to get costive as of old It was evident the liver was not work ing propertly, so 1 became convinced it was not the avoidance of coffee alone that cured me, but the great value came from the regular use of PostuE:."

CURRENCY CONDITIONS
 VERY SATISFACTORY
Statement Of the Controller Regard
 ing the Banks of the Country.

Washington, August S.-William Bar rett Ridgely. controller of the currency, today made the following statement in regard tC the summary Of the condi- tion of tine national banks of the Unit ed States al the close Of business on Wednesday, July 16:
 Reports of conditions show the banks to be in excellent shape, as have all recent statements Of the kind Increases in most of the items of the statement are consistent with the uni versal reports of the prosperous condi- tiCn of business and the increase i. it's volume all over the country. The foot ing Of tine statement, sdC06. 754 .97J is, as might be expected, tha largest on record The least favorable feature of the statement is perhaps the continued increase in loans-si9, 1O21f5 since the statement Of April 50. 1902 and $764,- 953,2I5 over the statement of July 15, 1901. in this expansion of the volume of loans there is, of course, consider able solid growth and an increase of values upon which loans can properly Ije based, but there must alsc be some mia tiOn, and there is always danger Of going too far in this direction
 The average reserve held by the banks has increased from 27.21 per cent on April 90. 1902. to 27-4S per cent since July 16. But this is somewhat lower than the average reserve of July I5. 1901, when it was 2S.Gl per cent.
 During the year there has been an increase of $33, ,67S.425 in specie haid by banks, of which increase S6,093, ,407 has occurred since April %, 1902 During the year there has been an increase c. more than S56, 0J0 GOO in the capital stock and $G5, ,OC0, eco in surplus. Mere than the average portion Of this has occurred since the last statement, but this is largely due to the readjustment of this item, generally made on July l.
 There has been q slight decrease in deposits since April g. but . handsome increase for the year.
 The percentage Of reserve shown by the central reserve cities is all higher this year than one year ago. New York increasing from G6.32 per cent to 2G.63 per cent. Chicago from 25.7S per cent to 26.20 per cent and St. Louis from 20.35 Der cent to 23.50 per cent.

A puny child is always an anxiety to
the parents. There seems generally
no reason why the little one should be
weak when it is SO we'll fed. But the
fact is that it does not matter how
much food the child takes if the
stomach cannot extract the nourish-
ment from it. No benefit can be deriv-
ee from just eating. That is the condi-
ton of many sickly child. The stom
ach and organs of digestion and nutri
ton are not doing their work, and the
body is really starving. 1t is little use
to give fish foods. like cod liver oil or
emulsions, in such case, because
these also have to be digested they
may tighten the stomach s labor but
they don't strengthen it. Strength is
what the stomach needs. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery strengthens
the stomach, nourishes the nerves and
increases the action OF the blood max
ing glands. 1t is superior to every
other preparation for children's use,
on account of its body building quail
ties, and also because it is pleasant to
the taste and contains no alcohol, whis
ky or other intoxicant. DR.. Pierce g
Pleasant Pellets are a valuable aid
when the bowels are irregular. They
are small. Children take them readily.

Forest Fires in the Southern Ap-
paIachians.

In an interesting paper on Practical
Forestry in the Southern Appalach-
ians,' written by the Superintendent
of Working plans of The Bureau OF
Forestry, and published in the Year
book of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, for 1900. particular attention Is
called to the extent of the damage In
the southern Appalachians by forest
fires. These fires, which annually sweep
the mountains, are found to be on the
increase, and the absence Of heavy
snowfalls and of a marked rainy sea
son make them constant and growing
menace. Owing to these peculiaritles
of climate it is extremely difficult to
check the fires when once started. and
the damage done by them is very great.
Carelessness on the part of hunters or
in the lumber camps is responsible for
some Of them. but by far the larger
number are started by the farmers. in
the long established belief that burn
ing over the woods in the autumn I'M
proves the pastures the following year.
No attempt is made to restrict the area
burned, and the fires spread to the foot
hills and mountains, and rage unmo-
Tested for days and even weeks.
Aside from the great damage done
the standing timber, these fires have
so baked and burned the forest soil over
large sections that it can support but
little vegetation and is easily washed
away by the rain. In this way the
storage capacity of the soil for the
waters of the many streams which head
in this district is Sc, iously injured,
and the efficiency of the streams i'm
paired. Investigations of the United
States Geological Survey have shown
these rivers to be most important
part of the resources of the South for
supply and water power and the series
of measurements and observations
taken by the Survey have demonstrate
ed that there is still much reserve
power which may be utilized. As the
greatest efficiency Of these streams in
steadiness of flow depends upon the
protection OF the forest cover about
their head waters, the destructive
forest fires will be seen to be working
widespread injuries wherever their
waters are used.
