LOW FARM RESERVES SENDS WHEAT HIGH WHEN TRADE OPENS

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, March 9. Sharp advances in the value of wheat resulted today from the government report allowing; that farm reserves "were the lowest since 1897. According to bull leaders, the report proved the orld was confronting the most serious breadstuff problem ever known. A general rath to bar waa witnessed, but on the upturn holders sold freely to realize profits. Opening prices which ranged. from ' to 2c higher, with May at $1,904 to $1.91 4 and July at Sl.Mi to $1.61, were followed by a moderate re-action. Corn, like wheat, jumped np on account of the bullish nature of the government report The farm reserves. of corn were shown to be much below the average. After opening to Hie higher, the market sagged a little but then again hardened. In oats, as in other grain, the government report had a decidedly strengthening effect Commission houses were active buyers. Announcement that the British government had taken control of all the lard an bacon in the United Kingdom and would fix prices, tended to weaken the provision market here. Higher quotations on hogs failed to act as an offset . .

GOOD BLOOD Given good, clean, healthy blood. Nature will do the rest with any case of catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boil, pimples, or skin diseases of any kind. Good blood invariably means vigorous . appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus it stands to reason that an effective alterative" or blood purifier, while it will not care all diseases, will help in fighting any disease, and will relieve those mentioned above, all of which comes from bad blood. ' Forty years ago Dr. A. B. Simpson of Richmond. Ind was known as one of the most successful physicians in three states. His tucces was founded alinot exclusively on on preemption, the most powerful blood purifier ever known. This prescription is regularly put up as Dr. A. B. Simpson's' Vegetable Compound. It has been used extensively all over the country, and in forty years has never failed to do good. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is harmless as it is effective. It is eold at $1 per bottle at all drug stores.. Adv.
