Kansas City, Mo-, Wednesday, June

Moderate receipts Monday started out
to sell steady, but the market closed

figured on. Medium class stuff was
expected to decline, but the best heavy
fat cattle are 25 to 40 cents lower
than ten days ago, and the only thing
that will prevent a further loss is
smaller receipts of them. Cows and
heiters have not lost as much as steers,

Notice has been given that the city
ordinance relative to the sale and use
of toy pistols, cannon fire crackers
and other explosives is to be enforced
on the approaching Fourth of July.
Let US hope that it may be enforced
strictly The loss Of life on the
Fourth Of July every year due to
these things is greater than that of
the army and navy Of the United
States in the war with Spain. The
use of cannon crackers and dynamite
are not evidence of patriotism or
even of the joy Of living; it is con-

The cost Of government when James
Buchanan was president was only
S2.01 per head, while it is S7.14 now.
But the per capita wealth of the
country of 1850 was S3OS. Ia 1860 it
was s5l3. In 1900 it was 81, 1856.
The annual percentage of the wealth
of the country collected for the
support Of the Government did for the
people only a 1.-THE OF what it does
now.
Take the Postofice Department, tor
instance. The expenditure per capita
in 1871 wa $0.62. Last year it was
nearly three Times that, or s1.7
But 1871 there was no rural free
delivery. The carrier service IN the
cities was Insignificant compared with
what it is. There was no fast mail
service, If the people would be con-

and pay the same rates OF postage

Brain Food Nonsense.

covered the silly notion that one
kind Of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part Of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
