DECEMBER WHEAT REACHED
$l.03 IN CHICAGO MONDAY
At Opening Of Chicago Board of Trade
oh Monday Wheat Went s Cents
Above Saturdays Price.

Wheat took a tremendous
jump at the opening of the board
of trade in Chicago on Monday
whe h the scene was the widest
and most excited that has been
seen in years, the prediction
made by the bulls on Saturday
night that dollar wheat would
soon be realty being brought
about within a few calls after
the opening, both September and
December selling above the pre-
dicted price, December going as
high as $l.0S. The trade was
too big and too broad to follow
exactly, but every commission
house was stacked up with buy
ing orders, which were to take
the wheat at the market price.
The feeling in the country that
the winter wheat crop has been
badly hurt was even stronger
than on Saturday and the de-
inand came from all parts Of TIE
United States.
Many traders realized heavily
on the enormous bulge at the
opening, but the big demand
continued aud the selling had
apparently not the slightest eff
feet. PRICES continued to adj
vance steadily.
AT 10 o'clock July wheat was
selling at % 7-8c and September
at 81 7-sc, both having dropped
back somewhat under selling
pressure.
The scene on the board OF
trade for the first half hour after
the opening was the widest that
has been witnessed there since
the collapse of the Letter corner
in 1898. Brokers made the most
frantic efforts to fill orders for
wheat but in many cases were
unable to buy within 2 to 3 cents
of the expected price, so rapid
were the fluctuations.
| The entire country seemed to
be back of the buying movement
and although the conservative
traders on the local board seemed
to be largely of the opinion that
the advance was too abrupt to
hold. the flood Of buying orders
from the country continued and
it was evident that for some time
at least the market would have
ample support.
The market was comparatively
quiet after II o'clock and prices
held steady around 96c for July
and 81 7-8c for September.
Numerous reports poured in from
the southwest as to the amount
of damage done by the green
bugs and the buying orders from
the country continued in unabat-
ed volume. Professional traders,
however, sold heavily and threw
much long grain upon the mar
ket

Preparing for Trouble III Cuba.

1t is not generally known, per-
haps, but such is fact, that the
United States is just completing
a map of every inch of the island
of Cuba for use in case it ever
becomes necessary for the Ameri-
can government to occupy the
country by force. The engineer
corps. of the army has been de-
voting most Of its attention to
the undertaking since last fall,
two of the three battalions having
been at work on the island in the
last half of that period. Not a
nook or corner, not a Travelled
road or an obscure trail has es-
capped the mapmakers. The
strange part of it is that the
Cuban governu ent has aided the
work in every way it could, Civ
ing orders to the rural guards
and local officers in far-away
towns to facilitate the engineers
operations whenever possible.

FAT AND SLIM FOLKS GET UNCLE SAM'S HELP

EMASHINGTON.-There are too " many fat people and too many thin people in the country, and the government, through the agricultural department. is conducting expert ments to show them how to strike an average. C. F. Langworthy, chief of the division of nutrition investigation. is conducting investigations which in clude dietary studies, digestive ex- periments and various other things in connection with food.
 How to get thin and how to get fat" are being eXperimented within a course of dietary studies at the University of Maine, at Orono, in that state, under the supervision of Prof. C. D. Woods, and at the University of Tennessee, at Knoxville, by Prof. E. C. Waite.
 These experiments were in full swing before Secretary Taft entered the cabinet, and therefore it cannot be charged even in a presidential cam paign that he used his influence to get the government to work on the scheme.
 NOW is the time to get thin, the governments experts believe. With the approach of the summer and it's

SWELL SOCIETY BARS THE PERRY BELM0NTS

Jockey club, Turf and Feld, Coaching club, and similar organizations in this country, but he is q member of the Reading room at Newport and was one of the two Americans elected to the Paris Jockey club. To cap the climax Perry Belmont is president of the Allied Hunt club. of which the Chevy Chase organization is sub ordinate member.
 The divorce records of the Belmonts is believed to have something to do with their rejection. Mrs. Belmont was formerly Mrs. Henry T. Sloane. Sloane sesured a divorce from her in 1899, and she was married to Bel mont the day the decree was granted Perry Belmont also has divorce rec ord. He married a Miss Sarah Whit ing when he was a young man, and the two went to Paris on their we'd ding trip. Mrs. Belmont came back alone and secured divorce. A baby was born after the divorce was granted.

green vegetables the path of the fat man who wants to reduce is made easier.
 To fat ones the government says: Eat little, sleep little and drink less. To the thin man it says: Drink all you can, eat all you can and sleep as much as you can"
 The thin man who wants to get fat must eat and drink everything that he can stomach. He must eat plenty of potatoes, bananas and bread; most important, he must drink before and after his meals.
 The experts say t is principa.9 what a person drinks ard not what hs eats that makes him fat. Fat is mostly water, it is asserted, and the more water or other liquids person slows away the more likely he is to gain weight.
 Above all, a thin per5cn who wants to spread out must sleep ten or eleven hours day A nap after each meal is offered as an excellent inducement for fat to come and stay. On the other hand, the man who is trying to lose weight is advised that he keep moving after a meal to thwart the dread adipose.

TT has developed that the Perry Bel \ monts have suffered rebuke in their attempt to break intoe Wash ington society. MT. Belmont has been rejected as member of the Chevy Chase Hunt club, and this action has brought 10 a climax sensational so- cial situation.
 The fact that there has been all winter social campaign for and against MT and Mrs. Perry Belmont into which all their New York connec- tions-the other Belmonts, Sloanes and Astors-havc been drawn, makes this social tempest of wider propor- tioI:s than those which are ordinarily discovered in teapots.

The Evolution of
 Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi- ness is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies.
 In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, homemade remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated.
 The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the begin ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm pressed by the usefulness of one of these homemade remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manu- tacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
 Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and fur nished it to the general drug trade.
 Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and it's value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.
