DOLLAR CORN REACHED II
CHICAGO.
Wheat Reached the Highest Point
Since the Civil War, With
a Single Exception.

Kansas City, Oct. 2l.-Not
since the day when Joe Letter,

cago pit, sent wheat bounding
over the 50 mark and, with that
single exception, not since the
Civil war has grain, and corn as
we'll as wheat reached such alti-
tudes as yesterday. At the close
of the market for the day, how
ever. conditions were unsteady
and no one could tell what the
morrow would bring forth.
Drouth in Argentina together
with heavy foreign war bids,
were the immediate causes Of
corn going skyward. The top on
December corn was 81 IL cents
here and 81 ~ cents in Chicago.
Car lot prices at Kansas City
reached 81 1-2 cents. Yellow
corn in car lots sold at 81 in Chi
cago.
Wheat went up 3 cents to $1.&
3-8 here and Sill "a in Chicago,
with tendency to speculate pre-
-vslent in both markets. Rumors
that export buyers had sold the
United States short and that a
flour famine may result kept the
local market bullish. Four cars
of No. 2 hard sold for SITS IL

December wheat yesterday sold

PRISONERS

MoRGANTowN, Jan. 12.-That
county prisoners can be worked

been shown conclusively by the re-
port of Sheriff G. D. Conway, Of
Marion county. During the year

county roads, the work done varying
from the laying of 1000 feet Of paved
roads through Norwood, a suburb Of

While the county was forced to spend
a large sum of money in the way Of
employing guards and providing food
and clothing for the prisoners the
authorities state that the returns JUS
tilted the expenditure.
County officers are advocating the
purchase Of a motor truck by the
county for the purpose Of transport
ing the prisoners to and fro mthe jail,
Il being found that considerable time
was wasted going and coming. With
a motor truck the prisoners could be
whisked to any part Of the county in
a very few minutes and the danger
of escape would also be reduced to a
minimum. The truck could also be
used in transporting materials for the
bridges, carrying stone. gravel and
other road building materials, The
most prisoners were worked during
the month Of June in Marion county,

Hard, Sometimes to Raise Children

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind
Of food to at the body. than that Of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little
boy had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any Kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"0ne lucky day We tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish, and 1t did me
good to see him. From that day
on It seemed as though we could al
most see him grow. He would eat
Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper.
and / think he would have liked
the food for dinner.
"The difference In his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancled
cereal foods Of any kind, but he be-
came very fond Of Grape-Nuts and
has been much improved in health
since using 1t.
I'VE are now healthy family
and naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who
were formerly afflicted with ricketts,.
1 was satisfied that the disease was
caused by lack Of proper nourish-
ment. The children showed 1t. So
urged her to use Grape-Nuts as an
experiment and the result was almost
magical.
"They continued the food and to-
day both children are as we'll and
strong as any children In the city,

believer. in Grape-Nuts for she has

the question both admitted having
been bitten more than once and both
showed scars on their hands due to

and said they certainly did not; that
when bitten they cut open the wound
