To those engaged In the handling Of
grain the natural shrinkage of shelled
corn while In storage and In transit
is matter Of prime importance and
often a source of dispute because Of
shortage reported at time of receipt

operation with the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company and the Baltimore
chamber of commerce. has conducted
an experiment with 800 bushels Of
shelled corn. the test beginning Jan,

The corn used was taken from regu
lar car receipts and was left In the

at close of the test l4.7 per cent. or a
loss Of Al per cent. The weight per
bushel had decreased from 55.7 pounds
to 30 pounds. and the total loss OF

ABOUT MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
@. Does rheumatism always in
dictate that the blood is in a bad
condition?
A. No, I can hardly say that.
Many pains are called rheumatic
that result directly from pressure
upon nerves. Muscular contrac-
tions, or slight sub-dislocations
of vertebrae, ribs or the pelvis
may cause pressure Of this kind
and result in pain that seems to be
of the rheumatic order. Muscular
rheumatism is the name commonly
applied to these conditions--al- :
though there is a variety Of names,
according to tho part of the body
that chances to be affected. Lum-
bago, stiff-neck and intercostal
neuralgia are all in this class; and
in fact muscular rheumatism is
more correctly considered as a
neuralgia Of the affected muscles
than as q species Of rheumatism.
