Conxalescence.

Convalescence is sometimes merely
apparent, not real, and especially is
this true after such diseases as pneu-
monia. typhoid fever and the grip.
To make it real and rapid, there is no
other tonic so highly to be recon-
mended as Hoods Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine cleanses and re-
news the blood, strengthens all the
organs and functions, and restores
health. Take Hoods.

Live Stock Letter.

Kansas City Stock Yards. June =
Cattle receipts last week aggregated
$4,000 head here, the heaviest week in
several months. The proportion Of
grass cattle was fairly heavy for 50
early IN the summer, and run of gras-
sers IS again heavy today, indicating
that there will be practically no per.
100 this summer of very scant cattle
receipts. The market declined 10 To-
~ cents last week, least loss on the
pest cattle and the top sales of yearl-
lngs at 500, and heavy steers at the
same price were as good as any pre-
vlous time this season. The run to.
day is 1900 head, containing a lare-
er percentage of grass cattle than any
previous day this summer. The fed
grades and those fattened mostly or
entirely on grass have come to the
parting OF the ways today, fed cat
tie strong to 1Oc higher, medium and
low grade cattle weak to lOc lower
: Condition Of the meat trade is fairly
healthy, and conservative marketing
OF corn fed cattle during June will no
doubt result in the realization of
some high price levels later this
month for good cattle. The extreme
ly high price of hogs is an element of
profit that will encourage feeders to
hold on. Top steers today sold at
$500, and bulk of the decent fed
steers bring $500 to $675. Cows
and heifers contain fewer choice fed
grades than short time ago, COWS
range from 1926 to $3.50; heifers
S3.75 to $3.50; bulls $3.40 to- $500;
calves $4.OO to $500. Stocker and
feeder trade was heavier than usual
last week, without much net change
IN prices, market steady TODAY.
stockers at 1915 to $3.50; feeders
$4.75 to $3.50.
Although the week closed Saturday
with weaker hog. market, the ten
dency during the week was upward
and prlves averaged highest of the
year. Run was only 10000 for the
week, much below the normal for
June, and the moderate supply OF
10000 head today indicates that the
expected heavy June receipts will
fail to materialize and that owners
have not much to fear as to price:
balance of this month. The market is
strong to Sc higher today, top $7.55
weights abOue 2OOfbs at $7.2O to $75:
light hogs up to $7.35, pigs 1915 tc
$6.75, when not sold right in without
sorting.
Sheep and lambs had a backset
last week, declining 25 to so cent.
for the week, but this is not surpris
ing, as the top-heavy condition of til,
market naturally subjects it to some
erratic moves. Run is 1000 today
market firm, spring lambs today a
$40, and clipped grass wethers from
Texas at $500, probably not quite
the limit of prices in either class
Clipped lambs are worth up to $7.75
fat goats 1926, thin goats for tn,
country $3.25 to S3.75.

aged 18, daughter of well-to-do
planter, sprang upon J. W. Jones
and like a tigress stabbed and slash
ed his breast in proximity to his
heart, inficting wounds which were
apparently fatal.

from the building, fearing that more
trouble would follow. None did,
however, and the sheriff took Miss
Kissee in charge.
Jones was before the court
charged with being the father of a
child born to the girl last summer.
Since that time he has married am
other woman and has recently operat-
ed a grocery at Mammoth Spring.
When the court sustained de-
murrer filed by his attorney, the
girl sprang from among her rela-
tives and inflicted the wounds, her
actions creating a panic in the
crowded court room.
