Wagner's Summary

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Traders were rest
lessly bearish after close of Thursday
and walked around predicting a break
in both corn and wheat if no war ca
bles this morning. Consumers are
backing away from the high priced

Meanwhile provision bears have recov-
cred their courage. the heavy receipts
are affecting wheat.

100000 are not record, but bears
figure we can spare more wheat than
Europe will take. They figure that to
clean up our surplus the United States
should ship 20.00O,OOO to $4,000, 900 per
month for three months. Canada has
about 1O,450, 900 more exportable

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR "CURES''
Famous Doctors Charge Deception.

After all, the real test Of merit is the

fake dangerous preparations are short

to avoid the use of any depilato but
that of proven merit

Easy on the woman and easy on the
clothes.
That's why progressive women are
washing their clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, in summer or
winter.
It's easy on the woman because it
does away with fires for heating water,
makes hard rubbing unnecessary and
takes less than half the time of the old
way of washing.
It's easy on the clothes because there
is no boiling to make the clothes tender,
and no hard rubbing to wear them into
holes before their t;rce
Saws yourself; save your clothes-use
Fels-Naptha.
Costs little money for big cake, and
lasts longer than ordinary soaps
In using it follow directions printed
on the red and green wrapper.

TT is unfortunate that the glow of
self satisfaction one experiences

Duke or snub should not be permanent
After uttering over the telephone her
frigfd reply to Maynard, Beatrice re-
turned TO the drawing room and to
Henry Blanchard, congratulating her
self upon her strength of will and pur-
pose. But, as the evening wore on. she
became less confident that she had act
ed wisely
Henry Blanchard proved to be a less
interesting companion than Robert He
talked no more Of his possible matri-
monial ventures, but discoursed of his
business life, his old friends his politi-
cal views, and, although Beatrice tried
to appear interested, she found herself
obliged at times to swallow a yawn and
her eyes turned involuntarily toward
the clock, ticking away so slowly on
the mantel shelf She contra sted this
evening with the one Maynard had
spent with her, remembering how that
had fled all too fast, and how much she
enjoyed It,
She did not suggest playing and sing
ing for Blanchard for he had said he
cared little for music While she was
glad that he did not make 1t necessary
for her to express any more decided
views as to his right to marry if he
chose. she felt that that topic would
at least, have contained some degree of
interest or even Of excitement She
breathed an inaudible sigh of relief
when. at 1880 o'clock, he babe her
goodnight and took his departure ask
ing if he might call again soon. She
said that he might but added, as she
had with Maynard, that she did not
know Just now when she would have
another free evening. But, unlike May
nard, he did not ask her to notify him
when she would be at leisure but said
that he would drop in some evening
