Loss of Appetite.

AS general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and if
you skip meal or only eat two meals
a day for a few days you will soon
have relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that at
least five hours should always elapse
between meals so as to give the food
ample timedo digest and the stomach
a period Of fest before second meal
is taken. Then if you eat no more than
you crave and take reasonable
amount of outdoor exercise every day
you will not need to worry about your
appetite. When the loss of appetite is
caused by constipation as is often the
case, that should be corrected at once.
A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will
do it. Obtainable everywhere.-Adv.

VIEW OF HOG PRICE
OUTLOOK CORN AID

Chicago, March 3.-Belief that the
hog price minimum of $3.50 would
be maintained during this month
tended today to strengthen the corn
market Notice was also taken of
estimates that 10000 900 bushels
more corn had been fed on farms
this season than what was the case
for corresponding period last year
Buying, however, was not of an
aggressive character. Opening
prices, which ranged from a c to
sc higher, with May at 125 to
1.25 and July at 1211. to 121A,
we're followed by slight further
gains. and then something of a re-
action.
A decrease in the visible supply
total was a bulIish factor in the
last part of the day. Prices clos ed
unsettled, a. to sc net higher,
with May at 1851 to 1858 and
July at 1.22 to 1928.
Oats traders were governed by
the changes in corn. After open
ing shade to asc higher, with May
1t 5912 to 595s. the market under
. went a moderate sag.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
strength to provisions Besides,
big exports were a stimulus to buy
ers.
