ALMOST LOST
HIS FOOT
Operations Did Not Seem
To Do Any Good.
After Years Of Agony Doctors
Advised AmputatiOn.
A Great Triumph for a Great
Medicine.

ELKART, Ind.-"I narrowly escaped
losing my foot. because of swelling
and sores on my ankle. They dis
charged a great quantity of matter
and some pieces OF bone. We tried
everything to make the eri ptions heal,
and had two or three operations.
which did not seem to do any good.
After three years of agony the doctor
advised that the foot be amputated in
order to save my life. My family
would not consent to this, but began
to give me Hoods Sarsaparilla.
ITO make a long story short, Hoods
Sarsaparilla effected a complete and
wonderful cure. The sores healed up,
the discharge ceased, the swelling
went down, and / could walk as well
as anybody. l have had scarcely q
sick day since. The cure was perfect
and complete. 1t was a great triumph
for Hoods Sarsaparilla over impure
blood. The germs certainly got the
worst OF 1t from Hoods Sarsaparilla
in my case, and / believe 1t will cure
In all similar cases, so warmly rec
ommend it." Henry Jenkins
Thousands of intelligent and eco
nomical men and women have come
to know by experience the great value
of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and to regard
1t as common sense" to use this pro-
prietary medicine in many diseases
and ailments.
Hoods Sarsaparilla effects its won
derful cures, not simply because it
contains sarsaparilla, but because II
combines the utmost remedial values
OF more than twenty different ingred-
tents. which are the very remedies
successful physicians prescribe for the
same diseases and ailments, but. are
not all found In any other medicine.
There is no real substitute for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. II urged to buy any
preparation said to be "just as good
you may be sure II is inferior. costs
less to make, and yields the dealer a
larger profit.

TRADE VERY DULL BEFORE FOURTH
This Was Especially True With Packers Who Had
 Large Stocks on Hand

Packers of Morris avenue were unable to understand why the meat trade was so inactive Monday. One dealer stated that business as a general rule was ex- ceedlngly brisk in the packing houses on the day just before the Fourth of July, but that yesterday was the dullest day he had ever experienced at this time
 Additional supplies had been secured, the greater part of which was still in evidence until late yesterday afternoon.
 The feed merchants made an altogether different report than that of the pack CTS. There was quite a rush for feed stuffs Monday. The extreme heat has given prices an upward tendency. Since Saturday both corn and oats have ad- vanced three cents per bushel, and other commodities also show advances. Re- ceipts yesterday were eight cars of al falfa hay.
 The Fourth of July trade was very brisk in the fruit and vegetable markets, Peaches, lemons, oranges. pluns and various other fruits were grappled at readily The same may be said of vege- tables, but vegetable supplies were not adequate to accommodate all customers
 Fowl was slow sale yesterday. Prices 13 and IA cents, while young chickens are bringing 20, cents per pound.

CROP REPORT IS
 BEAR|SH FACTOR Publication Followed By a Sharp Advance of
 Covering

New York, July 3.-The governments crop report, making the condition Ss.2 per cent, against S07 per cent last year and 80 per cent the ten-year average. ap- peared to be a bearish factor on It's face, as 1t represented the highest July bureau report for 12 years on the largest acreage of record but the figures proved to be a shade under average expectations, if any thing, and were evidently believed to have been discounted. At any rate, thls publication was followed by quite sharp advance on covering and dull support or the new crop months, and after having shown quite a sharp decline during the early trading, this market closed steady, net g points lower to points higher the active new crop positions being generally to s points above the closing figures or Saturday.

FIGURES NOT AS { H|GHASEXPECTED| Report Starts Exciting Buy ing at New Orleans and Rise in Price
 

New Orleans, July s.-The government figures on the growing crop on June 25 of SS.2 per cent of the normal were low heavy buying on the exchange here with an immediate rise in prices. Tn tho first few minutes Of business after II o'clock October rose 12 points to 1s1s and De- cember rose IF points to l9 15c At these
 levels the market was 10 points over Sat urday's close.
 The trade expected at least se: in fact many traders and brokers looked for at least 90. All the more important of the private reporting bureaus has issued re- ports pointing to over 9o from the gov ernment. So unanimous was the opinion that the figures would be bearish that the market was sold freely before II o'clock and prices were put to f2 points under Saturdays close At Il o'clock October and December. the two most active deliveries on the boards, were standing points under Saturdays last prices, there having been recovery on profit taking by shorts. The first sales were at an advance of 8 points and the advance of F points was quickly estab- lished. At this level the most active months were 10 months over Saturdays close The old crop months displayed very little activity. August rose points on the report.
 At the highest prices. offerings be- came very liberal and the gossip of the market was that the bulls themselves were selling. Just before noon October and December were both driven down until they were only one point over Sat urday The fact that tomorrow is holi- day in the American markets, probably induced considerable long liquidation.

WOOD SAYS FORTS
 ARE, ,|MPRECNABLE

Washington, July 3-The Notifications gsarding the cities of New York and other important centers of population on the seaboard line are considered invin- cible by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. chief of staff of the United States army. He believes the great guns of the fortifica- tions could destroy any fleet that might be sent against them. His views have been submitted to the house committee on expenditures in the war department.
 The necessity for cooperation of mo- bile forces with the great forts is em- phasized by the general. Large bodies os troops would be needed to prevent an enemy landing near the points the forts defend.
 In the event of an invasion General Wood believes the vicinity of the larg- est cities would be the scene of fighting. No remote coast district would be se- lected by an enemy to Iand, but rather the neighborhood of some vital point at which a quick blow might be struck.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 3.-(Special)-With Texas still dry, a holiday in prospect and the bureau estimate of SS.2, the
 trade has been perplexed and prices
 were cratic.
 Opening at a decline the short in terest turned to cover and on the bu- reau, which is a good one, advanced quite sharply. The figures compare with SIS last month, S0.7 last year and a 10-year average of 80. The improve ment was due to the local short in- terest demand as there was little gen. eral business. Texas lost three points for this month, which mystifies the
 trade, as extremists looked for great
 CT variance Cables responded poorly
 to the bureau figures. The market
