Corn.-The speculative market was
still inactive, but with a firm under
tone. At the close February in Chi
cago was quoted ut the maximum price
of $1.2s, while March was only &c
lower. Cash prices in the West were
8 TO 10 points higher. Receipts at
primary points were slightly smaller
than last week, but the movement is
keeping up quite well, and is expected
to relieve the shortage of supplies in
the near future. Some apprehension
was felt regarding the severe cold wave
over the West, however, as tempera-
lures were from 10 to "a degrees below
zero in the West and Northwest. which
were looked upon as unfavorablc for
active railroad operations.

Omaha Man Says Three in His

Through Taking
TanIac.

A tired, overworked stomach and
kidneys, often produced by too much
hastily eaten food, can cause innunn-
cradle ailments, among them being
dyspepsia, nervous break downs,
blood troubles and even rheumatism
People so affected, and there are
thousands of them, are loggy and
nervous and feel tired. They are
worn out after little exertion and
are moody and depressed. They also
are apt to suffer from sleeplessness
and, as general rule, loss rapidly in
weight. These are symptoms Of over
worked vital organs, which need
cleansing and toning up.
The value of Tanlac in the treat
ment of this condition is evidenced
by the testimony Of many thousands
from all over the country who have
been benefited by it. Walter H.
Christian, a well-known fireman on
the Union Pacific railroad, living at
1916 Sahler street, Omaha, called at
Sherman & Mcconnell drug store

"My wife and my mother-in-law,
as well as myself, are all taking Tam

petite was very poor most Of the time,

operated on as many as six different
times for this trouble. ! also suffered
from painful, disordered kidneys, my

that l hardly knew what to do.

and misery gradually disappeared. !
