Chicago. Jan. 1l.-Wheat - All the
wheat is moving that can move. and
Europe will continue to take her sup
plies from US. There is nothing 70
disturb the belief that supplies OF
wheat of milling quality Will be ex-
tremely light during the last few
months before new wheat is available.
Corn-Reports Of export business at
the seaboard in more liberal quantity
than heretofore and cables again re-
porting drouth in Argentina, helped to
advance corn prices in spite of the
news that corn had been bought in
Kansas City 10 come here. Kansas
City handlers are SO busy with wheat
and the carrying charges for the eleva-
tors so attractive as TO make them I'M
willing 10 bother with corn
Oats-The possibility OF closing rail-
road transfer houses by embargoes
may interfere with shippers who are
doing a transfer business. and this has
been a large part of the outgoing bust
ness, stocks Of all grains may pile up
Fl western terminals.

STOMACH TROUBLE
QUICKLY RELIEVED
r. r., Lewis Tells How He Was Quickly
Restored by Single
Bottle.

Thomas II. Lewis. of 11o2 West Sec
ond Street, Ottumwa, Ia, was a sufferer
from stomach ailmenA. He took Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy and got quick relief.
The very first dose convinced him.
Mr.. Lewis wrote:
II received your remedy and wish to
state that II is wonderful. The fir>t
bottle made me feel better than l have
felt In years. Would be glad to recon-
mend it to anybody who needs - stom-
ach remedy"
Mayr;s Wonderful Remedy gives per-
nnanent results for stomach, liver an
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try It
on an absolute guarantee-if not salts
factory money will he returned. For
sale in Marshalltown by A. 7. Elder and

Health Hobby.

Why is it that the average woman
is SO loath to admit that her health
troubles come from her digestive ap-
paratus? Does 1. sound any better
to talk OF heart trouble or mysterious
internal woes" than 1t does to ad-
nit of cantakerous liver or an up
set stomach? Women and men. too.
take a queer fancy for whispering Of
serious ailments and assume a semi
invalidism which one would suppose
they would hesitate to acknowledge.
They seem to gloat over their i'll
nesses until 1t must be quite . sor'
row when they reco-e- 40 far that
they have to lose an important sub.
ject Of conversation. How we do hate
to listen to a recital of someone else's
i'll health It gives us 50 little chance
to put in . word about our own, you
know.

TRAVELLERS TALES.
Some That Were Disoredted and Vim
dictated Long Afterward.

OlCated Long RIterWaTu.
Travellers tales have often been ac-
cused OF being mere flights Of imagi-
nation and in the past stay at homo
people have sometimes erred in treat
ing travellers tales with scorn. There
was, for instance. the description by
James Bruce in l770 Of the barbarOuS
Abyssinian custom of eating raw meat
cut from the living animal, which was
ridiculcd by everybody. Yet Bruce was
proved right. When Paul du Chaillu
explored equatorial Africa in 1861 and
described the wonderful gorillas and
also the nation Of dwarfS there he was
discreditcd none too politely 10y the
British Royal Geographical society.
Yet subsequent explorers amply ~mdi-
Gated his ycracity.
In the matter Of discredited travel
crs' tales indicated long afterward It
viii never be possible to beat the
classic instance In HerodOtus. He tells
how King Neco Of Egypt commission
cd certain phoenician mariners to cir
cumnavigate Africa if they could.
They did 1t. starting from the Red sea
and returning by the straits Of Gibral-
tar after very many months. And
