CORN IS LOWER
ON WEATHER. NEWS

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Improved weather
conditions today eased the corn mar
ket. The fact that the heat wave
seemed to have been definitely broken
and that rains were general tended to
crop damage. Commission houses did
most of the selling. Opening prices,
which varied from the same as yes
terday's finish to Is cents lower, with
September S1.62 to "a and October
SI.88b to V, were followed by a mod
crate further setback and then by a
rally which, however, was not well
maintained.
Oats had the same action as corn.
Large receipts contributed to the
weakness of oats. after opening b
to u cent lower, with September 68B,
the market receded further before be-
ginning to react.
Provisions lacked support. Lard
especially was depressed.

London, Aug. 9.-(Battlefront via
Montreal. )-Canadian horse troop
ers, cooperating with French cav
airy, cut off a large force Of the, en-
envy in today's operations on the
Somme front.
More than 1900 prisoners had
been captured by the allies in the
Somme drive. up to noon today, &C
cording to advices this afternoon.
More than 200 guns also have been
taken.
It is reported that a German divis-
1onal general has been captured in
the drive.
The blow delivered by the allies
yesterday is regarded, not merely as
an attempt to break through the
German lines, but as part Of q, great
strategic plan which is being car
ried out by Field Marshal Foch. He
now has the initiative and has
struck for the purpose of relieving
AEGiens from danger and recovering
perfect freedom Of rnaneuver.
II the allied drive is pushed far
enough the Germans may be COM
PEELED to withdraw from the apex of
the Montdidier salient which has
threatened both Paris and Amiens.
The fact that the task of direct
ing the present attack was entrust-
ed to Field Marshal Haig has caused
much qualification in London and
points to a new development in the
principle Of unity of command.
Paris, Aug. 9.-The war ministry
statement today says:
1.-THE Germans succeeded at some
points in temporarily staying our
advance, defending themselves ener-
getically, particularly between
Morisel and MoreuiI, which they de-,
Tended bitterly with machine guns.
We took MoriseI by storm. The bat
tie was also stubborn in MoreuiI but
already our troops had advanced
north Of Moreuil to a point north
east OF the wood which commands
the village while another group had
crossed the Avre south of the town.

ADVICE TO GARDENERS

Gardener! Have you peas and beans
in your garden? Watch out for blight
and anthracnose. The gardener must
be very careful this year as to the
time when he cultivates his peas and
beans as several cases Of blight and
antracnose have been found.
The blight is caused by bacterial
organism and can be easily told by
the appearance at first as the diseased
areas have water-soaked appearance
which soon dry out and become brown
and brittle.
Anthracnose is caused by fungus
which attacks both the leaves, stems,
pods and seeds. The disease is very
noticeable because infected parts have
an elongated, sunken, dark red canker
which often produces deformed and
yellow leaves.
These diseases are carried from
plant to plant by the tools becoming
wet with the dew or rain from the in
fected plants. The CONTROL of these
diseases depends upon not injecting
healthy plants and this is done by not
cultivating when plants are covered
with dew or rain.

Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of DRINKING a
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look well. what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy IL is If one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in 1t to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indlgestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach Is wonderfully In
MIGRATING. IL cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for q
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation. bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get q
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject Of inside-bathing before break
fast

BUFFALO, N. Y. - Oswald Buff,
who lives a lille east of this city,
hitched- his horse to his democrat wa
gon, loaded his fishing tackle into 1t
and drove to Star Lake, 10 miles dis
tant, where he fished for perch. In
the afternoon, having caught a gener-
Gus supply, Buff decided he would go
home. He placed his fishpole in the
back end of the wagon and started.
When he reached here he stopped
at grocery to do some trading. Sew
eral men standing in front of the store

emerged from the store the men asked
him where he got the turkey. He
then observed the turkey for the first
time.
Investigation revealed that rne tur-
key, q large one, had swallowed the
hook of the fishline. Bun says that
when no left the lake he did not TO
move the worms from the hook and
that the hook hung out of the back
end of the wagon. The heavy sinker
on the line may have caused the line
to unreel, leaving the hook to drag on

there was flock of turkeys.

nothing more than his dog and a
