5-Receipts of cattle here last week,
while quite liberal, were consider
ably less than for many weeks. De-
mand for everything was very
strong and prices advanced on all
grades from rs to 35 cents. Beef
cattle were in great demand and
packers could have used many
more than they were able to get.
Good steers sold at $3.50 to s5.25
with one bunch of feed steers from
northern Colorado at $3.50. Good
to choice cows sold at 1915 to $4.-
25 and fancy cows at S4.4O and s4.-
so. Bulls brought So. to $3.50. veal
calves IS. to $3.50. A large number
of country buyers were here looking
for feeding cattle and a number
were unable to get what they mant-
ed and were forced to return home
without them, leaving their orders
to be filled later. For this reason
an active feeder trade is expected
here for the next few weeks. Good
to choice feeding steres sold at $4.-
40 to $500 and the fair to good at
1886 to $4.4O. Feeder cows in very
strong demand and a number of
orders were untitled at the close of
the week because there were not
enough to go around. Today's re-
ceipts, $500 head.

DEFY THE .FLEETING YEARS
Ancient English Peer and Others Dis
prove the Absurd "Too Old at
40" Theory.

The advocates of the too old at
40" principle have not had things all
their own way lately. In fact. old age
for self-defense, and that not by words
on which youth is too apt to rely
but by deeds. We have the case Of
Sir John Bigham.. now in his seven
tieth year, who is showing his col
leagues in the law courts that the
only way to reduce arrears is by
working on them. the London Express
says. Lord Halsbury, again. does
marvellous things at 80; while, to
crown all. Lord Wemyss recently cele-
brated his ninety-frst birthday, after
68 years of more or less strenuous
parliamentary life, by taking a walk
on Hampstead heath.
Tho three instances we have quoted
are all of hard-working men, whose
energy. although great. has been con-
centrated. They have not dissipated
their time in multitude of interests.
nor have their energies been expended
in violent exercises, whether physical
or mental. Probably they all feel as
young to-day as many "under-forties."
AS a matter of fact of course. a mere
counting of years is no guide at all to
mans real age. What he will be
like at, say. seventy. depends entirely
upon how he has spent his life until
then. The best sign posts on the road
are moderation-not only in drink. but
in all things-a healthy mind and a
settled interest in life. Armed with
these and a good constitution. there
are few who might not be as young at
81 as is Lord Wemyss.

tain advantages over the substances
on which their value depends, but as
q rule it is better to buy the chemicals
and not some private commercial
preparation of them.
The action of a disinfectant often
depends largely on its solubility in
water. For example, some oily sub
stances have considerable power but
do not dissolve readily in water, nor
in the cresols, which are the basis of
many commercial preparations. The
general usefulness Of these valuable
agents is much increased by combin-
ing them with soaps as in creolin,
lysol, etc., which mix readily with wa
ter in all proportions.
For complete disinfection of room
the gaseous disinfectants are the best,
for the reason that the gas permeates
every nook and corner, reaching
places that would not be touched in
any other way. 1t is plain that the
room must be tightly sealed to pre-
vent the escape of the gas. This is
easily done with strips of heavy wrap
