Regular Smokers for Subject

1t is DIR. Wiley's intention to take
men who are regular smokers and
ascertain their physical condition as
to heart action. breathing. digestion.
etc. while continuing the use of to-
bacco under normal conditions. and
then to have these men to suddenly
cease the use of tobacco entirely.
The effect of such stoppage will be
carefully noted and DIR. Wiley expects
To be able To report on the benefits or
injuries in the sudden change of the
habits of smokers and chewers. After
the effects of the prolonged use of to-,
bacco have been eradicated from the
system, ii is proposed that the sub
jects of experiment shall recommence
the use of tobacco. beginning in small
quantities. which will be gradually in
creased until they are using as much
or more than they were when the eX-
periments first began.
Throughout the course of the eX-
periments the effect of the tobacco
on the digestion will be carefully
noted. All this will be a most interest
ing series of experiments, and if DIR
Wiley can make some observations
during their progress on the effect
of tobacco on the disposition of his
subjects, the experiments will be
doubly valuable.

TEST FOR TOBACCO
Or. Wiley, Government Chemist,
to Conduct Practical
Experiments.
INTERESTING RESULTS EXPECTED
Different Forms of Weed Will he
Used Under Varying
Circumstances.

In connection with his government
boarding house." in which medicated
and adulterated foods are being test
ed by experimenting upon number
of persons, DR. W. II. Wiley, the che M
list of the department of agriculture.
will take up the question of the eff
feet of tobacco upon the digestion
and on the human system in general.
Just as the cigar comes after the
dinner, so DR.. Wiley will postpone his
experiments in relation to tobacco
until after he has fed his boarders on
all sorts of food, from soups to nuts.
Consequently. il will be some time
before he reaches the tobacco ques-
ton. When he does, ii is underst God
that he will proceed as he has done
in the case Cf food; that is. he will
take pure tobacco in various forms,
smoking and chewing. and see what
effect its use has upon the consumer
when taken in small quantities, larger
quantities, and so ON. He viii then
take up the adulterated or favored
tobacco and ascertain by experiments
what effect tobacco of this character
has upon the system.
Just how far these experiments will
go has not yet been definitely deter
mined, nor has DR.. Wiley decided
whether he will use Turkish, Cuban
and other brands of foreign tobacco
or confine himself to domestic tobac-
60. Should the bureau OF chemistry
go into the subject extensively and
ascertain the difference between the
effect of cheap cigars and cigarettes
on the system, as compared with that
of high class tobacco, cigarettes and
cigars. the result would be very in
tereStiuU to say the least

CORN RULES THE MARKET
ADDS GOOD FRACTION TO THE
PRICE AND HELPS WHEAT.
Oats Lower ON n Lack of Demand for
SpOt-Hog Products Are Strong
and Close at Advances.

CHICAGO, March 2.-The strength in
corn was again a predominating influence
in the grain pits to-day and both wheat
and corn ruled strong, May wheat closing
sake higher and corn Ssd1zc higher. Oats
were sc lower and provisions from sc TO
zoe higher.
There was only light trade in wheat
but the market was firm throughout with
the exception of an easier. feeling at the
start, influenced by lower cables and favor
able weather, which caused May to open
down 1sqAc at TIC to TAc. The strength
in corn and larger decrease in the visible
supply than had been expected soon Gre
ated firmer feeling, and May sold up TO
775sc. At the advance there was consider
able realizing and with small celarances
and almost an entire lack of foreign de-
mand the price eased off trifie, but rallied
again toward the close on good commission
house demand, with rather light offerings.
and final figures were is@Ac higher at
77l2GT5sc. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 10000 bu and the amount on
passage increased 1,652,0O0 bu. Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 blu. against $4,000 year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts of 4s7 cars. which. with local receipts
of 20 cars, one of contract grade, made
total of 463 cars, against 502 year ago.
Trading in corn was active and prices
had an upward tendency. The demand was
quite general, but the larger portion of the
offerings were taken by shorts. who were
much disturbed at the smallness of the con-
tract supplies. The main bull factors were
immense clearances, over a million bushels,
a fair decrease in the visible supply and
good cash and export demand, while favor
able weather was the only bear feature in
the situation. May closed %Q1ac higher at
41asQ411zc, after ranging between 1850 and
4I&c. Receipts were 357 cars, none Of con-
tract grade.
Oats were dull and the volume Of business
was light. The strength in corn brought
out buying orders from local traders, but
improved weather and poor cash demand
tended to discourage bullish sentiment. The
market closed slightly under Saturdays
prices, May off 1sc at 35asc, after selling be-
tween S5kc and 25ssc Receipts were 226
cars.
Provisions ruled active and strong, open
ing prices being higher on smaller run
OF hogs and an advance of 10c to 15c In
prices at the yards. A good demand from
packers and shorts added to the early
strength and prices were well maintained,
the close on May pork being up zoe at $3.50.
Lard was 1211c higher at 1915. with ribs up
&c at $9S71z.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
50 cars; corn, 475; oats. 160; hogs, $4,000
head.
