NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

Inc StKAckeM AtOSe FROM OFle1s
What a fortunate provision of nature
1t is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering: for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover, in the height of it's
blooming glory. that a canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
pares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
one by falling hair and graynes have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the In
~vestigations of scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicies. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send loo. in stamps for sample
to The Herpicide Co., Detroit, Mich.

Says the Winter Wheat Out
look Is Critical.
Much Selling in the Minneapolis
Pit by Big Local
Houses.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce,
April 20.-Wheat had another bad break
to-day and May was off to 91h @919sc by
1870. Last night 1t rained little at
Sterling Emporia, Dodge City, Newton
and Great Bend. Kan, and this put a
damper on any reactionary frmness that
might have been starting. This morn
ing 1t was still raining in the southwest.
and 1t was not long before selling began
all around. The market slid Off to 92c,
halted a moment and then broke thru.
Heavy pressure was on all around. Inc
export business of yesterday was the first
encouraging thing the bulls had seen for
long time, and by this morning this had
been picked apart and was found to con-
sist of six loads of Manitoba wheat from
the Atlantic seaboard and two loads Of
red winter sent out from New Orleans.
There was also the rumor of a sale OF ten
loads to Leith, but this lacked confirma-
ton. Liverpool was off, and there was
weakness all around. 1t was good time
to press the market little more.
The northwest shows no change Of i'm
portance in general conditions. The
weather is warmer and improving, and
with few days more Of it the reports
from the Red river valley should be bet
ter. Last night 1t was still too cold gen.
orally for the best condition, but tenn
peratures are rising.
Minneapolis had 102 cars against 80,
Duluth 10 against and Chicago II against
35. Kansas City received $4,000 bushels
against q, 900, and st. Louis 10000 against
$4,000.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels
against 301, 900, and shipments were 207, 900
against $4,000. Wheat and flour clear
ances were 401, 900 bushels.
Jones returned from q trip thru the win
ter wheat helds and reports the outlook in
many districts very unfavorable. Rains
are needed in many localities. To-day's
rainfall, If heavy enough, will be very
beneficial but Jones says he does not ex-
pect anything wonderful in the way of a
winter wheat crop yield under the most
favorable circumstances, and believes that
without general all-around rains before
long much winter wheat territory will
raise very little.
Winnipeg wired: IF weather favorable
there will be some seeding next week.
pretty general about May /, but there is
a lot Of snow and water in some localities
and a freeze-up every night.
Kansas City wired that reports from
western Kansas arc that rains are gen
ieral, relieving the drought stricken ter
ritory.
The decline continued until May wheat
struck 9O5sc.
May closed at 91Ac, July at a1h@s1Nc;
September at 81h9815sc.
