Some People Have Learned
How to Get Rid Of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the backache
until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and strong
the rest of the system is pretty sure to
be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
Mr.. Henry Murphy, of 6S4 Broadway,
Memphis, Tenn, professional nurse,
says: For year or two pain and
weakness across the loins and difficulty
with the kidney secretions indicated
that my kidneys were either overtaxed
or weakened. All my knowledge of
medicine failed to bring relief, and eyey

GRAINS WORK, HIGHER
DESPITE LATE SELLING.
MODERN MILLER'S REPORT
CONSIDERED BEARISH.
Most of Private Wire News Tells
of Damage in the South
western States.

Though weather conditions were favorable
and foreign markets Were weak at the
opening. local traders seemed to be bent
On making n runaway market of it. Light
receipts and a good buying demand were
re-enforced by private information of a de
cidedly bullish character from many sec
tons of the belt. The crop killers were ac-
tive until the Modern Millers report was
issued. This was so surprisingly bearish
that the market took a sharp downward
turn. but there was enough support to close
the active options above the prices on the
previous day.
The Modern Miller said: THE winter
wheat harvest, outside of the flooded dis
tricts. is progressing steadily northward IN
der favorable weather conditions. Reports
of disappointing yields are coming from
some sections. but these so far are prin-
cipally confined to Southeastern Missouri
and Southern Illinois and Indiana, where
crop conditions have been poorest. The i'm
proving conditions that have recently been
noted in the Southwest have brought forth
a much better yield or prospects than were
indicated some time ago.

GRAIN TRADE is ACTIVE
IN THE CHICAGO MARKET.
WHEAT is EASIER FROM THE
BEGINNING.
Strength at st. Louis a Factor
Corn Is Strong Early, but De-
clines Under Selling.

Chicago. June 1e.-There was an active
trade in grains to-day, and. after showing
considerable strength cary in the day.
prices yielded to free liquidation. July wheat
closing isc lower and Sept. unchanged. July
corn was down 1isc. Sept. was off S4a7sc.
and Sept oats were ;4Q9s higher. while
Sept. provisions closed unchanged to &C
higher.
WHEAT
An easier feeling prevailed in the wheat
pit at the opening on the Indifferent cables,
July being unchanged to sc higher. at I65sc
to &c. and Sept. unchanged to isuhc lower.
at 74ssc to 7i&. G74;sc. During the first hour
a good demand developed from local trad
ers and commission houses, who were in
fiuenced by continuance OF builish crop
reports, and by the strength at st. Louis. as
we'll as by the advance in corn. shorts We're
active buyers. and in their anxiety TO cover
the price advanced, July selling up to iI$sc.
and Sept. to I5a.c. Proflt-taking, with the
sharp break in corn, caused reaction to-
ward the noon hour. and the remainder of
the session was fairly steady at the lower
level. The close was near the bottom. with
July isc lower. at 76i2c. the low point of the
day, while Sept, after declining TO 1850,
! closed unchanged at 74s.aIi7sc. Exports for
the week. according to Bradstreets, Were
3,6lIuO bu.. compared with ilSl,vo blu.
year ago. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to $4,000 bu. Primary receipts
ot-'-Sy
ago Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts Of 2B cars. which, with local receipts
of 81 cars (none of contract grade) made
total receipts for the three points of 2,9
cars. again 3Ql cars last week and 3lS cars
year ago.
CORN.
Corn ruled strong the first part of the
| session on the strength in the cash situa-
| ton. but about the middle of the day free
| liquidation set in and the market declined
rapidly. There was more corn for sale than
| at any time since the recent advance. and
feeling prevailed that some of the big longs
were disposing of their lines. The imnle-
| diate cause of the break was the selling of
| July by Armour, and the weakness in this
| delivery affected the other options. After
| selling between 49l2c and 5li2c. July closed
| at 1890, 4 loss of 1Ac for the day. Sept.
| was down S.p7sc. at ig1sG49tsc. after selling
between 1919 and 59;sc Local receipts were
| SCI cars, with IS of contract grade.
OATS.
| Oats were Influenced largely by the action
| of corn. A feature of the early trade was
| the selling of good-sized lot of July by a
prominent provision house. but buying by
commission houses caused reaction. Sept.
| closed A43sc higher at 3i2c. after ranging
| between 3SSsd331c, and 3+QS4isc Local re-
