pressed a fixed determination to

Before the management of the or

of the infant again, it will be nee

FARMERS NOT
HOLDING CORN
Unprecedentedly High Prices For
Grain Causing General Sell
ing Stampede.

Washington, Aug. 21.-That the
unprecedentdely high price of corn
| is not due to abnormal holding OF
supplies by farmers is the belief of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, based on reports Just
received from crop correspondents
in Illinois. Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa
and Missouri These states are
typical of the great surplus white
corn producing region of the United
States, the department declares, and
their conditions indicate conditions
throughout the orn-producing
area. The Investigations disclosed
that farmers are holding only
enough corn to insure their seed
supply for next spring and to pro-
tect their live stock feeding inter
ests until the production of suf-
ficient supply from the present crop
is assured; and that the stocks In
their hands are much lower than
normally
Among the conditions making for
high corn prices. according to the
Department of Agriculture. are
shortage of the 1916 crop and the
carry-over from 1915, increased ex-
ports, increase in the general level
of~prices, and the increased num-
'bers of live stock on farms. The
1916 corn crop. ii is pointed out,
was 400, 100000 bushels short OF
the. 1915 crop, and stocks on farms
on March l, 1917, were 800, 00O,-
600 bushels short of the stocks on
farms on the same date the preced-
ing year. The exports of corn in
the year ended June 30, 1917, were
approximately 20 per cent greater
than in the preceding year and
about seven times GREATER than in
the year ended June so, 1914. the
year preceding the war. The gen
eral level of prices, it is. pointed
out, has increased greatly during
the last year, especially as regards
foodstuffs. Live stock in the United
States has increased about three
million head in the past three
years, statistics of the department
show, and so has helped to increase
the demand for corn for feeding

HIS FATHER AT BUNKER HILL
Washington Man, Now 102 Years Old, Was Past Age Limit at Opening
 of the Civil War.

Austin Corbit Winslow, whose father fought in the battle of Bunker Hill, and himself being too old to enlist at the outbreak of the Civil war, Is one hundred and two years old. Despite his remarkable age, he is still able to sit up and take an active interest in current events, says the Washington Post. He attributes his age to the fact that he has taken the best possible care of himself. He says he never smoked, but was chewer of tobacco.
 To look at MT. Winslow, one would never suspect him as having passed the century mark. His complexion is ruddy, and his eye alert, but he has cultivated flowing white beard. An other remarkable fact is that his hand writing is still legible.
 Coming from stock of hardy an- cestors, he was born in Barnard, vt., the son of Hezekiah and Mary Samp- son Winslow. His father and several brothers were all past eighty when death called them. His mother, how ever, died in her sixties. When asked how many more years he expected to live, he replied: ''The way I feel at the present time, I will live as long as Methusaleh."

HOW MUCH ONE SHOULD HAVE
lt is Difficult for Anyone to Say what Amount of Money it Would se
 Best for Him to Possess-

It is convenient to have money. we all see many ways in which we wouid like to use it. But when we nave money we are all apt to wish 1t just little more, remarks the Milwaukee Journal. Who is to say what Is the exact amount 1t is right that we should possess? Wishes, tastes, desires uiI- fer. We ourselves do not know what our limit should be. With too much money one is likely to become conceited, to lose sympathy and be hard-hearted, and more than likely regardless of the means he takes to add to his store. If he has too little, he may be envious of others. embittered toward society, tempted to dishonesty. Or there may be real suffering for need of what money can buy.
 No one, not even the man in prison cell. can live in any degree of comfort without money. It is necessary to life. Yet there are many things of greater value than money, things that money cannot buy, that are necessary to our welfare. Undue love of money Is poison in the soul, eating out what Is of most worth. We may pay too high a price for It's acquisition. We should judge our desire for money by our pur- pose, our motive in wanting 1t. Money is a power for good or evil, as we choose to use 1t.

Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the
 poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise splitting headache. stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead both look and feel as fresh as daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with tea. spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans. ing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one 8 splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious pess, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try 1t and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.

Con trary to the popular notion, Lena, as she is named, does not care for rolling in dirt, but walls and annoys her keep CTS unless she is kept clean. An ordi- nary scrubbing fails to satisfy her. but when her vacuum cleaner appears she plainly manifests her delight and sinks to her knees that the work may be done conveniently. She Is ready for the process at any time, and her de- pertinent is especially good on days when the cleaner Is regularly used"

Gun Fired by Gasoline.

A new kind of gun using gasoline as the explosive has a reservoir beneath the barrel, with a carburetor behind, and battery in the stock. A plunger at the rear of the breech serves to compress the mixture of gas and air admitted to the chamber by a valve from the carburetor, and pressing the trigger closes the electric circuit. ex- ploding the charge and discharging the bullet. As the gas is compressed by the plunger before the firing, the pro- jectile Is held in place in the barrel by springs, which are capable of resisting several times the plunger pressure, though quickly yielding to the force of the explosion.
