The conference this year VIII
aim to present subjects which will
be of immediate help to cities
struggling with the problem OF
much needed improvements in the
face of limited ability to finance
them. This is held to be particu-
larry true of zoning and the several
subjects involved in working out a
major street plan. Methods of start
ing a city planning program and
getting the subject before the peo-
pie have not been overlooked.
The Rock Island Chamber OF
Commerce is referred to as the sort
of organization which must lead,
and to do this must become in
formed. Advantage in these meet
ings is held to come only partly
from the presentation of papers and
the discussion of them. The con-
ference will offer advantages of con-
tact with the men who are doing
the planning all over the country
and the representatives Of plan
ming commissions.

Cleansing the Blood Ends
Manv Torturous Skin Troubles

Many fever epidemics are caused
BY impurities in the water supply,
and are ended only when the water
is purified. Many itching skin
troubles are caused by impurities
IN the blood supply, and can be
stopped only when these are driven
out.
When you itch, itch, itch all day
with flaming torture that drives you
haH mad, you should look deeper
than the skin itself. The cause Of
your trouble may be far down in
the blood stream, and require an
internal treatment that will purify
it before you can get relief. Any
other course would be treating
'ymntoms rather than the cause.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Reported sales Of
new Argentine wheat at cents q, bushel
under the cost of United Stateswheat had
a depressing influence today on the
wheat. market here. Prices closed unset
tied III to ~ cents net lower with
December s1.o4 to s1.o4A and MAY
$1.o7M to s1.o7A. Corn finished nm
changed to % cents higher; oats down
Is @ y and provisions varying from 215
cents decline to SO cents advance.
Right from the start, the wheat mar
ket showed decifa,d leaning to the bear
side, with attention of traders focusing
largely on Argentina and Australia owing
to the near approach of harvest in the
southern hemisphere. Crop conditions
in both the countries named were report-
ed as favorable, and this circumstances
appeared at least temporarily to out
weigh altogether the serious compla ints
Of drought in Kansas and elsewhere in
thesouthwest. Scantiness of domestic
receipts failed also to attract much no.
tice. Under such circumstances. an
nouncement that Argentine wheat for
January, February shipment had sold
in Europe today far CHEAPER than United
States wheat proved decidedly effective
against the bulls. Covering by shorts
here, however, led to something of a
rally at the last.
Brisk export CALI for corn, with sales
totalling 100000 bushels for today and
yesterday, helped to give frmness to
corn. Gossip was current too about gov
eminent plans for assistance in financing
the carrying Of the corn crop. Oats,
though reflected the weakness of wheat
Provisions 1uctuated in line with hog
values. All deliveries Of lard and ribs

son but subsequently rallied
