SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City. Sept. 20.-There was a
fair showing of cattle again today,
estimate calling for $500 as against
1870 a week ago and 1882 the cor
responding day a year ago. Market
did not show much change from that
of yesterday in any branch. Good
weighty steers and the upper classes
of cows as well as the strong weight
feeders were favored and fully
steady, while plain cattle, especially
if light, were draggy sale and weaker.
Hog market received a setback
this morning, weakness being trace
able to the bearish news from outside
centers. Decline as a whole was
quoted as Is a zoe lower. Top for
the day reached $4,000, while the
bulk of sales were at a spread of
$19.35@19.75.
Sheep market was without change.
Run at the local yards was moderate.

Food Administration Urges
Test for Wheat Waste; Tells
How to Rectify Operation

A matter of unusual Importance to
grain growers is the food administra-
TONS official test for clean threshing,
says indianapolis News. BY this
rule any farmer can test the work of
the threshing machine he has hired.
The test is made by directing the straw
blower against a blanket, sheet or cam
vice trips five times, recording two and
one-half bushels. If more than one
pint Of wheat is winnowed from the
straw On the canvas, bad work is indi-
Gated. One and one-half pints indi-
Gates a loss of / per cent. If more
than three pints is found-which
means a 2 per cen loss-reasonable
time should be given to correct the
bad operation, and a second test should
be made. IL improvement is not OBJ
tanned, steps should be taken through
the county threshing committee to dis
continue operations until the avoidable
waste Is corrected.
Most t~hreshlng committees have for
INFLATED detailed rules for the guild
ance of ~threshing crews in effectively
stopping waste of grain. But more eff
fective than the rules and regulations,
the food administration believes, has
been the eagerness with which farmers
and threshermen have accepted their
harvest-time responsibility and the dill
igence with which they are now stop
ping every source of grain waste.

What Is Sugar.
BY the u. S. Food
Administration

Sugar is a food as well as q flavor.
One of the simple food lessons the
United States food administration has
driven home is Food Is Fuel for Fight
ers." Sugar is one of the conspicuous
fuel foods. It's great advantage Is that
II is quickly burning, and gives Its en-
ergy to the body more rapidly than
other kinds.
The commercial granulated sugar we
buy at the store Is mot the only sugar
on the shelf" Some Of these other
sugars have popular names which de-
note their origin, such as grape sugar,
fruit sugar, milk sugar and malt sugar.
Their. technical names are, In order.
glucose or dextrose: fructose; lactose
maltese.
The beet sugar or can sugar that
We buy from the grocer is also an
..ose." 1t is called 'sucrose."
The department of agriculture tells
US that while the canes and the sugar
beet are the only commercially i'm
portant sources OF sucrose, this form
Of sugar Is also found In the stems
and roots of sorghum and cornstalks
In the carrot, turnip and sweet pota.
to; in the sap of some trees, such as
the date palm and sugar maple; In
almost all sweet fruits, and in the
nectar Of flowers.
When a sucrose, or ordinary SUI
gar, Is taken into the body and goes
through the process of digestion, 1t Is
changed into glucose and fructose.
Lactose goes through much the same
process, forming glucose and galact
ose. Maltese, too, changes into glu.
cose.
Glucose Is a simple sugar very easy
to digest. As II Is manufactured to
day, 1t contains absolutely no harmful
substances.
We need to remember that all the
sweeteners the United States food adj
ministration asks us to use In place OF
"sugar" are sugars, too, and though
not always in as convenient a form
they give approximately the same foot
value and flavor.

DON'T DELAY
Some Madison People Have Learned
That Neglect Is Dangerous.

The slightest symptom of kidney
trouble is far too serious to be over
looked. It's the small, neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney ailments. That pain in the
small" of your back; that urinary
irregularity; those headaches and
dizzy spells; that weak, weary, worn
out feeling, may be natures warning
of kidney weakness. Why risk your
life by neglecting these symptoms?
Reach the cause of the trouble while
there yet is time-begin treating
your kidneys at once with a tried and
proven kidney remedy. No need to
experiment - Doan's Kidney Pills
have been successfully used in thou
sands of cases OF kidney trouble for
over 80 years. Doan's Kidney pills
are used and recommended through
out the civilized world. Endorsed at

And OF sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,

We have erred In that lark hour
We ave known,
When the tears fell with a shower
All alone
We're not shine and showers blent

And through all the coming years,
Just be glad.
