Sciatic-Neuritis

The sciatic nerve, situated at the
back Of the hip joint Is frequently
the subject of Neuritis, giving rise
to the painful disease Sciatica. The
symptoms are intense pains which
shoot down the thigh to the foot,
often aggravated by walking, and
with painful points along the
course Of the nerve, very tender to
the touch.
The trouble is a very obstinate
one and does not readily respond
to ordinary treatment. It takes
more than the usual pain sedative
even to alleviate the pain. The
best way to get relief from the
persistent nerve racking pains of
Neuritis Is to get bottle of Allen
rhu Special Formula No. 2, which
comes in capsule form. Take them
as directed and in about "a hours
you should be able to notice that
they have considerably reduced, If
not almost banished, all pain and
soreness. Continue faithfully and

over the Republican National Com

was Understanding his strength
and public appeal.
On all sides it was admitted that
with Smith making the opposition
campaign the Republicans are in
for a fight to continue control of

The drawing powers of such out
standing figures as Vice President
Charles G. Dawes. Secretary of Com.
merce Herbert G. Hoover, former
Gov. Frank o. Lowden Of Illinois,
and former Secretary Of State
Charles e. Hughes were being
weighed carefully as the national
committeeman entered the third day

Ans as the search continued for
an expression of sentiment suffi-
GENTLY solidified to warrant the be-
lief that a man had been found who
could defeat Governor Smith. a lit
tie group of Republican elders
opened up a whispering campaign
that 1t would have to be either
Dawes or Coolidge"
This note was being struck in the
face of an apparently unanimous
agreement that the President meant
to eliminate himself finally when he
said "I do not choose"

effect on it of the offering of S2l0.-

however, so far been negligible.
OF the new bonds just sold, nearly
80 per cent represented public utility

that of foreign bonds, which amounted
to about IS per cent of the total The
smallest sum was of railroad bonds.
This will probably be larger next week.

WHEAT HAS SETBACK
ON CROP ESTIMATES
Favorable Weather Leads to Weak
ness Of Corn Values in Trading
at Chicago Today.

CHICAGO, September 17.-Wheat
prices turned downward early today,
unofficial crop estimates from Canada
being construed as hearish, although
somewhat reduced from the recent
Government forecast. Favorable
weather led to independent weakness
of corn values. Opening "a to IA
down, wheat rallied a little and then
sagged lower than before. Oats were
easy. Provisions showed irregularity,
with lard prices receding.
Bears in wheat made much today
OF the fact that a comprehensive
private report from Winnipeg indi.
Gated a yield Of 424 .312, 1875 bushels for
the Canadian prairie provinces this
season This total was but 100000
bushels less than the latest official
figures and was "a 900 900 bushels in
excess OF general trade expectation
here. Under such circumstances
sellers in Chicago became correspond
ingly more numerous.
Rallies in wheat prices from early
declines were associated with reports
Of unwelcome rains and of probable
frost in Canada. Talk. however. of
an impending heavy movement of
wheat down the Lakes the next few
months counted as something Of an
offset. Besides, arrivals of wheat to-
day at Minneapolis and Duluth were
more than double the total a year
