Wall Street Credited With Selling
Corn and Wheat on Chicago
Board of Trade.

Chicago, July 26.-WHEAT.--Wal
Street was credited with selling
wheat and corn here today on large
scale. However tina. may be, other
reasons were not lacking for the
weakness in both staples. Wheat re-
ceipts, actual and prospective, were
heavy, and the worlds supply was
shown to be 100000 bushels larger
than year ago.
One significant fac,or which tended
to lower the price or wheat here was
that foreign countries were in a posi-
ton to import from the Pacific coast
states without regard to the country
east of the Rockies.
Cool, clear weather for filling and
harvesting the spring crop in the
northwest was another bearish infiu,
ence. July held relatively steadler
than the other months the result
of considerable short interest, which
is making large purchases in the in

Recorded in Stocks Yesterday-Ail
But SO Issues Touched New
Low Levels.

New York, July 2G-FNhile power
stood by and offered no support,
stocks tumbled sensationally on the
stock exchange today. Although there
was rally during the final hour,
the close was weak and unsettled.
Sales totalled 1,279,339 shares and
only thirty-siX issues of lag in which
trades were recorded failed to break
to the lowest record of the record,
In the tbsence of any specific cause
for the slump the only explanation
lies in the belief that the directors
of opinion in the financial world
agreed that the situation and outlook
required drastic purging process.
Sales were made at severe sacriii-
ces. There were no explanations to
the days weakness. and at the time
it appeared as lit he purchasing pow
err of the stock market had vanished
Prices swept downward with almost
no resistance. Before the middle of
the afternoon session was reached
there was hardly a stock in the en-
tire list that did not show losses OF
2, 8 or points from the closing fig
ures of yesterday
So rapid and comprehensive a
shrinkage in prices is Witnessed rare

Cairo People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach OF Kidney
Disease


The symptoms of kidney trouble
are 50 unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
exerete a thick, cloudy offensive
urine, full of sediment irregular of

scalding. The back aches constantly
headaches and dizzy spells may oc,
eur and the victim is often weighed
down by feeling of languor and
fatigue Neglect these warnings and
there is danger of dropsy, Bright 5
disease, or diabetes. Any one of
these symptoms is warning enough to
begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal
Yoa can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Cairo
proof:
Mrs. Henry Etz, 225 Nineteenth

ito recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, as
Il consider them to be the best kidney
remedy in existence. They have been
used in my family for a number oil

Origin Of a Famous SAYING.

Euclid, who is sometimes called the
father Of mathematics, taught this
subject in the famous school at Alex
andria. Being asked one day by the
king OF Egypt tPtolemy Soterl whether
he could not teach him the science in
u shorter way, Euclid answered in
words that have been memorable ever
since, "Sire, there is no royal road TO
learning" Not many scraps Of CONVEX
sation have lived, as this reply has, for
1900 years.
