MILD. GENTLE LAXATIVE
FOR WOMEN GIVEN FREE

So many of the ills of women are
due to habitual constipation, probably
because Of their false modesty on the
subject, that their attention cannot be
too strongly called to the Importance
Of keeping the bowels open. 1t is
always important to do that, regard
less Of the sex, but it is especially
important in women.
From the time the girl begins to
menstruate until mentsruation ceases
she has always vastly better prospects
of coming through healthy if she
watches her bowel movements. If you
find yourself constipated, with bad
breath, pimply complexion, headaches,
belching gas and other symptoms
of indigestion and constipation, take
a small dose of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup

Bio Potato Crop in missouri

The Missouri potato crop
for this year is a big one. 1t
is probable that the yield will
be more than double that OF
last year, when the entire state
grew but 2,983,0O0 bushels, or
an average of only SO bushels
per acre.
The 0rrick district, in Ray
county, has grown a crop es-
tiliIated at 1900 car-loads-more
than fifty train loads. Most of
these potatoes have sold at
from 46 to so cents per bushel,
in the cars. The yield will be
about 200 bushels per acre. One
grower who three years ago
bought 95 acres Of land at $3.50
per acre has since grown 5000
worth of potatoes ON this tract,
the profit equaling the purchase
price. Good potato land in the
Orrick district s now selling at
$3.50 to 5000 per acre, and
rents at $40 per acre, cash. T he

Roosevelt and the Negro.

1t is not probable hat Col.
Roosevelt status before the
public will be altered in any
great degree by his recent ex-
t%raordinary action in declaring
himself against the negro in pol
itics. The Colonel's friends are
of the case-hardened type who
like him on the same ground
that the young lady of distin-
guished fame in literature did
not like Dr.. Fell. They have
made up their minds to like
the man who asks to be a per-
petual office-holder who has
broken his pledge relative to the
position Of President who has
shamelessly and brutality be-
trayed a personal friend who
is the type of man who is shock
ed by perfidy and billingsgate.
Nevertheless, those who are
hopeful of being enlightened, Or
rather than merely logged in
their mistaken allegiances, will
perceive in Roosevelt s latest
attitude toward the negro a
common instance of low cum
nng and of pitful grandstand-
ing.
1t was through Roosevelt
that the first negro ever sat at
the White House table, as a
guest of the President of the
United States. The South was
outraged by this action. The
North was mildly surprised by
1t. Because the better class of
negroes do not desire, and are
not willing, to sit down to a
table where white people are
dining, the action of the Rough
hlder was extraordinary, fan
tastic, even reprehensible. View
ed IN the proper light, it was
not so much an offense toward
white people as it was a be-
lifting and ignoring of the prin-
clples and good manners of the
better element among negroes.
Additionally, Roosevelt s pol
ley relative to negro postmasters
IN the South need not be re-
called.
Now this man who does not
keep his promises and who has
no intellectual principles has
discovered that the negro's in
fluence in politics is a bad one.
He does not discriminate be-
tween one negro and another.
He archaically places them all
IN one class and disposes of
them with a word. Like the
crude Snowman that he is, he
issued advertising matter in adj
vance, warning the public to ex-

steek.r. and Feeders.

Chicago, April 3.-A fairly active and
strong trade for all fresh arrivals IN
the feeder line, with prices ruling
strong to 10 cents higher and with the
stronger prices noted Monday showing
net gain Of 10@15 cents over low time
last week and q much better tone IN
trade than during the last half last
week, tho the outlets are not yet well
opened up, owing to flood conditions
over great areas, of the country.
Traders in stockers and feeders at the
local market have played fair game
thus far this week, tho outside demand
had not been especially encouraging
for the big stale stock they held over
Sunday. Flood conditions over the
south and west have made countrymen
wary Of attempting to start many
young cattle countryward. owing to the
bad conditions of railroads in many
sections Highways too are In the
worst shape in years. Frost is coming
out and it is hard matter even for a
horse to founder along in mud almost
knee deep. This situation is not IA
vorable for the delivery Of young cat
tie from stations to the farms and the
feed lots are in bad shape and of
be thought of with the soil in such
conditions as great damage can be
done to spring pasturage by treading
out grass in this soft weather.
AS the market stands now the feed
er who demands high class and
weight up to 1000 pounds or better
must expect to pay up to $3.50 for that
class. Best here last week and Last
month sold at 500, but not many
steers are finding their way into feed
ers hands at cost above $40, the kill
ers stand ready to take over about ev-
erything with flesh enough to be worth
that price. Sales of the very good to
choice 900 to 1000 pound feeders range
mostly at s5.9OI6.S5, the fair to good
100 to S50-pound feeders at $3.50
SIS, the palmer class of $50 to 750-
pound stockers and light plain feed
ers at s4.7565.25. only the trashy little
steers and stock heifers from $3.50
down to $685. for something very thin
and weak in the heifer line.

Chicago, April 3.-Livestock move

Hogs held about steady.
Floods in the vicinity of Omaha are
holding down receipts there. Tuesday
at that place there We're but 500 fresh
arrivals, compared with run Of 1900
last Tuesday. Combined receipts at
eleven points Tuesday total $500,
which is 14,S0O less than last Tuesday,
decrease of 1900 compared with the
same day year ago and 4,4OO more
than the spending day 1910. Two
days at all markets brings the total
up to 900 for this week, a decrease
of $4,000 compared with the first two
days last week. $1,000 less than the
corresponding time a year ago and an
increase Of 10000 over the same period
two years ago. Total 1912 to date at
all points aggregates 7,6S5,000. which
is 1,3S5.000 more than the same period
last year and an increase Of 2.5S1.00O
compared with the corresponding time
1910.
Cattle.
Choice steers were higher. with other
grades slow. Cows were up 10 and Is
cents.
This flood situation. together with
the almost impossible roads in many
sections west. bars movement of cat
tie from feed yards to loading stations
and atho the feed yards are deep in
mud. it is evident that many cattle
owners are content to get along in the
feeding process as best they can, rather
than attempt TO move out cattle at this
time. Thus it is period when only
light receipts can be looked for at mar
ket.
Six western markets had only 1900
cattle Tuesday. against 2G,800 a week
ago and 23.200 a year ago. but floods
west are more responsible for the light
runs than Is actual shortage Of steers
in feed yards at this time, the more
conservative element in the trade be-
iieving that April supplies at all points
i'll run out a fair volume at least.
While shortage will come later on. For
two days this week supply at six mar
kets is $1,000, decrease of $4,000 and
1900. respectively, compared with a
week and year ago.
