The record breaking prices OF yesterday
were completely overshadowed in today :
market. when cash wheat reached a high
point Of s2.N per bushel and yellow corn
reached N.ilh per busheL Considering
the advance, however, the trade In cash
grams was not overactive, and while the
demand was very good, the sellers held out
for higher lremiums than the buyers were
willing to pay. and II was almost noon be-
fore the commission men began to let go
very freely.
Spot wheat was quoted from lOc to 15c
higher, corn scored an advance of 3hc to

bulk OF the corn sales were, however, made
up OF the better grades OF yellow and mixed
corn, the yellow being quoted at $l.Im
l.4lh, while the mixed sold from Si.4o to
3i4i.
The trade in oats was very good, and
while the receipts showed big increase
the demand was easily strong enough to
absorb the offerings. Standard oats sold at
7Ot. @70hc; No. white ruled around roc
and No white was quoted at 69h @Gs&c
The demand for rye and barley was very
good, but these markets were quiet on ac-

in Kidneys and Back.

Dear Mr.. Editor-I want to write you
about rAnuric." l was very sick, could
hardly be up; was in bed most of the
time. Had terrible pains in my kidneys
and back, so much so that / had to
scream sometimes when l was sitting
down and wanted to get up, the pain
was so great. / had tried well-known
kidney medicine but it didn't help me.
/ heard of DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets
so thought l would try them. took
only one box of the Tablets, and my
back is now free from pain and / can
work and take care of my, family. /
feel l cannot say enough for this medi-
cine. Sincerely, Mrs. VIM. KELLER.

SOME WARTIME DON'Ts.

Don't imagine this country is on
the verge of famine conditions! 1t
isn't and it's not going TO be. II
can raise all the foOdstuffs it reqnirc'
and all ii will be ape to shin TO rs

twin sisters.
Don't imagine that because the
government is taxing precautions TO
prevent a shortage the shortage is
already here! AS well assume that
taking out fire insurance pollcy
means the house is already on fire.
Governmental encouragement OF food
production is simply a wise form OF
national and war insurance.
Don't imagine that because some
particular article of food you are ad-
dicted to is high you must have that
ia its usual quantities or inconti-
nently perish Particular foods may
be high or even scarce, but there
will always be plenty of good foods.
