WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago March 26.-Grain prices
have this week reached the lowest lev
el since 1916 for May delivery of wheat.
Disturbed economic conditions bearish
crop reports and slackening of export
demand were among the chief bearish
factors. Compared with week ago,
wheat this morning showed a setback
OF 1-3 to "a cents. Corn was down
3.4 to 3-s cents. Oats, rs and cent to
/ 3-S cents, and provisions 80 to 70
cents.
II has been three consecutive weeks
today since the wheat market began to
slip, owing largely to misgivings over
the general business outlook. This
week, bulls had an extra handicap as
a result of field advices that danger
Of any big damage from the green bug
pest was about over. Then. too, word
was circulated that British government
holdings OF wheat would be sufficient
for all British requirement TO the end
OF the season.
Corn and Oats gave way with wheat,
May corn and May oats dropping to
the standard of prices current in 1913.
Transient uncertainty over packing
house wages tended to restrain deal
ings in provisions and to let the market

DRESS warm AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers TO Take
Salts and Get Rid OF Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter Of age
dangerous of human afflictions it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all drink
lots of pure water,
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast ii out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
q means of freeing the blood OF this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys TO do double work
the become weak and sluggish and fail
TO eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts: put q tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys TO normal action
thus rdding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent rezults ny
thousands OF folks who are subject tc
rheumatism. ADV
