In cold damp weather don't send

clean, bright and odorless, for these
reasons:
Most clothing requires two pro
cesses, requiring two dryings, which
it is impossible to give them and re-
turn to owner during one of these
short days.
Drying quickly requires intensive
heat which, in time will injure the
fabric in the garment
Deodorizing garments after clean
ing cannot be properly done without
intensive artificial heat unless the
sun shines on them
Good cleaning requires two pro-
cesses, which can not be properly

Chicago, Dec. 13.--There were further
surprises In the corn market for the
traders who believe recent advances
established have been too persistent
and that price declines are likely to
be established on a liberal scale dur
ing any session. The upturns today
were ais a27s for the nearby months
and 3h m3k for the May future.
Instead of selling the cash corn as
has been predicted the country men
were in the market on the buying side
and favored the May future.
These conditions were more than
enough to overcome anything OF a
bearish character spread out before the
speculative trade in this grain. but the
announcement by the food administra-
ton OF the prices that interest would
pay for corn. -four and corn meal. was
really the strongest influence of the
session. The price named for white
corn -four was $3.50. IS for yellow and
white. $3.50 for ordinary corn -four per
barrel.
The price OF oats futures advanced
half seven eighths today and the un-
was strong. The cash bust
ness was confined to 10000 bushels
and this was all for domestic use.
