CHICAGO. Feb. 26.-Assertions of a
uper-abundance of supplies had con-
siderable effect today IN weakening
the price of wheat. although the
market rallied at the last. Closing
quotations were unsettled, &c to "a C
net lower, with May S1.17L to
s1.17%, and July s1.13h to s1l37s
Corn finished isc to q C off, oats, I'M
changed to Il @ &c higher and pro-
visions down sc to 10c.
Liberal selling by HOSES with
eastern connections gave the wheat
market dow swing at the
phasizing a current bearAsh opinion
that demand was proving insu ficient
compared with the amount of wheat
In sight. In addition. primary re-
ceipts today were shown to be In
excess both of the total week ago
and at the corresponding time last
year. Favorable weather conditions
in the winter crop belt tended also
to depress values.
Buying which enlarged on the de-
cvnes appeared to come chiefly from
shorts, decrease of 100000 bushels
in the United States visible supply
helped a little to rally the market
later.
Increasing receipts weakened the
corn mark Oats, however, de-
veloped firmness owing to better
ment of shipping demand.
Provision re easier with grain,
despite steadiness of hog values.

over-eating or acute catarrhal con- ditions of the mucous membrane of the intestines. elimination from the body is delayed and the toxic poisons are rapidly absorbed from he in- testines These toxic poisons find their way first to the liver and then to the general circulation.
 There is headacne, loss of appetite and nausea. The tongue is coated, the breath bad and there is pain in the stomach and back. Vomiting of food is followed by that of bilious sccre- tons, there is much weakness and the skin is sallow.
 The attack usually passes in few days, the source of trouble being re- moved by a purgative and weak alka- line fluids to soothe the irritated mucous membrane of the intestincs. Continue light diet for few days.
 To avoid bilious attacks, be care ful of your food and habits of eating. In other words, avoid indigestion and constipation which induce these at tacks by knowing your own system, its condition and requirements.
 There is no one diet that will suit all cases. A proper proportion of the bulky raw vegetables will usually prevent the bowels from becoming sluggish.

 There was one monkey that looked very familiar. He reminded Cuhy of Major Monkey, who had once spent several weeks in Pleasant Valley. In fact Ctffy wasn't sure but that this chap might be the Major himself. So one day he spoke to this performer, "Hullo. Maior." he said
 The monkey touched his cap. "Howdy. Colonel." he replied.
 Now. that answer wasn't at alf like the Major Monkey that Cuffy knew. who never wanted anybody to enjoy higher title than his own.
 ''I wonder if l know you" Cuffy Bear ventured. You make me think of friend who spent some time in Pleasant Valley
 Land! I don't know" replied the monkey. i've been In so many piacesi I don't know the names of half of them, with the show always on the move"

 This is the first time, my dear daughter, that I have felt could sit down and talk to you in the way usually do in my letters.
 Your father has been lying out doors in the porch swing all day. He was able to walk out of the room this morning and seemed quite like himself.
 I have not heard from Alice in over a week. Suppose she is very busy getting ready to be presented at court
 Oh, my dear cbild, when I think of it all it seems like fairy tale to me You know, my dear, I had little education and your father even less than I. I don't know that ever told you. but we spent all the evenings of the f,rst two years after we were married boring over books and try ing to learn.
 Of course your father is one of the greatest steel men in the country today and I believe there is nothing about q steel mill or steel machinery that he does not know. He has learned it all in the hard school f experiences and what he could get from books in his evenings.
 I WIS about Aiice's age when you were born, dear, and we were so very very poor that someone who knew and liked your father in the mills persuaded his wife to send me your layetfe. I had to be up and around my house a little over a week after you were born, dear, but thank | God we both were always well.
