CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. Sept. S-Wheat opened a
trifle firmer this morning. News from
the northwest was of a better charac-
ter than heretofore, also buying or
ders omanated from that quarter
The foreign markets were quoted a
half penny lower. but this did not
seem to have any effect upon our
prices. as the market showed a strong
undertone from the opening gong.
Wheat advanced a half cent on buying
by people who usually operate for the
larger elevator concerns. The market
closed strong within one eighth of the
highest price of the day.
CORN.-Market was little more act
i've than usual. The May option sell
urday.
Anticipation OF receipts of new corn
has been the bear argument on this
cereal Cash corn in the sample mar
ket is reported one half cent higher.
The Cash situation generally is good.
100000 bushels of corn were sold 10
exporters today. The market closed
firm with the advance we'll sustained
The trading in oats was on large
scale The May option scored an adj
vance of one-half cent The buying
was of the same class that has been in
evidence the past two weeks and these
people base their operations on the
fact that there is undoubtedly a short
age of oats and that the Nav option
should sell at least 40 cents a busheI
The market closed strong.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Oct Stocks opened
strong this morning in sympathy with
higher prices from London. The bril-
liant feature was American Shelter
which scored an advance Of rye points
compared With Saturday nights clos
ing.
The buying of this issue was of the
very best. Guggenheim and his fol-
lowers were the most prominent buy
ers.
Union Pacific also scored an advance
of two points over Saturdays closing.
TIE Hartman interests were active
buyers of this issue. The trade was
on a large scale and anything over
ISIS met selling orders in the thou
sands
IN the industrial group Amalgamated
Copper was particularly strong. selling
above 116, which is a new record on
this bull movement. There is no doubt
but what the advance in the metal is
legitimate and not imitation, therefore
the copper stock should sell In the
nelghborhood of 100. basing on The fact
that they will undoubtedly declare a
dividend OF 10 per cent at their next
meeting.
The market closed firm and with a
higher tendency. All of the active
stocks maintained their advance.

BATHING.

Many people who take the very best
care of their body on the outside give
absolutely no thought to the cleansing
necessary inside. Just think how fool
ish this is You use soap to keep the
skin clean and nothing to dislodge the
impurities in the s. stem. Germs and
impurities are being taken into the
body continually. They are in the air
and in the food you eat. yet you let
them accumulate, expecting Nature to
pass them off.
You wonder what causes pains in the
back and sides. headache, bloating,
belching and gases in the stomach, in
digestion, dyspepsia, and complaints of
like character, when you are full Of
dirt, germs and poisons that Nature re
fuses to work off naturally, and these
impurities will stay there until you aid
Nature to dispel them.
Certain organs of the human system
may be called drains through which
Nature expels matter taken internally.
These drains are bound TO catch and
hold part of this. You may not know
this, may net feel tie effects of this
accumulation. but it is taking place just
the same. When your health suddenly
breaks down, and not until then, you
turn TO some medicine for relief. Why
not head off disease by cleaning your
entire system occasionally

This is indisputably proven by the

by general crop failures throughout

Mr. Hill 6welt somewhat upon the
dangerous rivalry that doomed upon
the horizon of the western world. in
the time when the orient would recog-
