Rheumatism is easier to avoid than

Of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result OF
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which
is absorbed into the blood. 1t is
the function of the kidneys to filter
this acid from the blood and cast 1t
out in the urine; the pores of the
skin are also a means Of freeing the
blood of this impurlty. In damp and
chilly cold weather the skin pores
are closed thus forcing the kidneys
TO do double work, they become weak
and sluggish and fail to eliminate
the uric acid which keeps accumu.

forced buying by those who would

ADVANCE COMES
IN CHICAGO PIT
Saturdays Marketl

Observation-Disclosures in the
Chicago wheat trade today were
somewhat surprising as the deliveries
reported before the opening were
much larger than expected, showing
that considerable wheat must have
been transferred quickly and quietly
from private to public elevators dur
ing the week. The local trade took
the selling side at the outset, because
Of the large deliveries. Offerings
seemed to dry up very quickly and
when good buying orders came into
the market there was strong natural
upturn from bottom quotations and as
the advance Of the first hour held up
well the short interests took alarm
and in covering gave prices further
upturn the last hour.
Certain leaders are predicting that
this month certainly must feel the ef-
feet Of any large shipment following
the May delivery. Stocks of wheat
are decreasing fast in the northwest
markets, and now that the property
has changed hands here similar re-
ductions in Chicago stocks may be
looked for
Deliveries in the spring wheat mar
ket were Disappointing The map
over the soft winter wheat states
showed cool, part cloudy but no need
ed rain. No doubt the coming week
will see the attention of the trade di-
vided between the weather and crop
news at home and the progress ef the
fight to open the Dardanelles.
In the face of heavy delivery Of corn
leading La Sale street interests took
an active buyers position in the July
contracts during the morning and
practically dominated the trade to the
extent of lifting prices to a higher
level A number of active local lead
ers were on the buying side on the
advance and naturally there was COW
ering by local shorts. Sample market
ruled 1-2dS-4c higher, Argentine
news continues unfavorable.
Following the delivery of 100000
bushels Of oats on May contracts
there was an advance from So IA to
Sc S-Sc for the month. Cash market
was 1-2@1c higher. 1t is conceded
that the oats delivered today went in
to strong hands. Market will no
doubt be influenced considerably by
weather and crop news next week.
