Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas C1Uy SUOck drOS, NOV
18th, 1907.
The general cattle market i'm
proved 10 to 25 cents last week
after Monday, with the excep-
ton of heavy beef steers, which
rallied only slightly. The re-
ceipts were kept down admir-
ably, and as the demand is grow
ing each day, with the gradual
settlement of the financial
troubles, prices naturally gained.
The supply here yesterday was
$4,000 head, which would have
been handled at fully steady
prices had it not been for the
bad influence of an extra heavy
run at Chicago and break of Is
to % cents there. AS it was,
there was some week spots, es-
pecially on fed steers, although
top steers sold at Sc 10. The
run today is II 900 head, market
to Is cents lower. The opinion
is gaining ground that prices
will decline materially between
now and Christmas, and that the
best fed steers will sell consider
ably below Sc 90 before that
time. Short fed steers bring

After a break of nearly 81 90

cover on Thursday, and gained

No More Expulsion.

The law no longer allows the
expulsion of pupils from school.
But it does require parents to
send their children between 8
and Is years of age the entire
time school is in session and it
also makes the parents liable to
fine when they do not. The law
provides, however, that school
boards may permit temporary
absences of children from school
between the ages of 8 and 10
years, in extreme cases of
emergency or domestic necessi-
ty." The law also prohibits any
merchant, company or other par
ty from employing any child be-
tween the ages of 8 and Is years
while school is in session with
out written permit of the school
board under penalty of fine of
from S. to $25 and commitment
to Jail until the same is paid. x.

You can't be well if you have a
weak, unhealthy, tired out
stomach. Neither can you feel
good if by some little irregular
ity in eating you have caused the
stomach to get out of order.
These little stomach troubles
are signs of indigestion, which
may and very often does turn in
to a very bad case of dyspepsia.
Don't allow this to go on a single
day without doing something to
overcome it. Take some good
reliable and safe digestant like
Kodol for dyspepsia. Kodol is
