THE CATTLE MARKET

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 27. receipts of cattle arrived to- day, 5000 head, and sales were strong to 15 higher on killing grades. This was a continuance of the tendency last week. Stockers and feeders sold steady to strong. Short fed cattle made up the beef steer offerings, best cattle here selling at SS. 25. Mis- souri cattle which went out at a cost of S7.20 three months ago were turn ed today and sold at s7 40, weighing 1511 lbs. These were big boned Dur ham steers, and as they had fine blue big gain in weight, three lbs. per day. Figuring the gain on the hogs which followed them, the feeder says the, feeding venture made good profit. Short fed steers weighing HOO to 1900 lbs not so well finished as these, sell at S6.50 to S7.OO, and the market for prime steers has not been tested since Christmas beeves sold around $1O two weeks ago. Butcher cattle are selling firm, good COWS around $6, bulls S5. g to 5.75, veals N$S to $9. Stocker and feeder trade is holding up well, shipments out last week 1S,O00 head, which was more than twice as many as during same week last year. Feeders are finding a better outlet, feshy steers selling at S7. 40 to $7.90, and straight feeders S6.25 to $7.00, choice stock steers S7 25 to $7. 75, medium steers $575 to $6. 75, breed ing stock strong, cows and heifers $5. to $6.75. Shipments of stock CTS and feeders this year will ap- proximate 915,OOO head, largest on rec ord here, or anywhere else. Heav- fest previous shipments were 913,000 head in 1913, the drouth year.

NO Small Fires Last Week.


 Friday noon of last week the fire department was called to South Clifton where a fire was discovered in the high school building The blaze started in the furnace room where lot of old rubbish and lum- Der had been stored but was soon put out without causing any material damage. Another alarm was turned in at two o'clock Christmas day, this time the fire being located in the A. C. acid plant. The fire, which had gained good headway in the acid tower, is thought to have caught from a spark from one of the smoke stacks in the works. A good stream of water was played on the blaze and in a short time it was under control. Had the fire not been dis covered in it's incipiency disastrous confiagration would have been the result, as the building contained sev- eral thousand gallons of acid and was in close connection with other DOT. tions of the works which were unin- i jured by the recent burning of the con. centrator.

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because in the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treat ment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years.
 To be stronger when older, keep your blood pure and rich and active with the strength building and blood-nourishing properties of Scott's Emulsion which isa food, a tonic and medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.
