GENERAL SELLING CAUSED BY WEATHER CHICAGO, Sept 17. Decided breaks took place today In the price of corn as a result of general selling based chiefly on clear warm weather in all directions. The conditions prevailing were regarded as ideal for ripening the crop. Peace gossip tended also to increase bearish sentiment. Opening prices which ranged from c to lc lower, with December at $1.15 to $1.16 and May at $L12 to $1.13l&. were followed ty a material further set back. Oats went down grade with corn. A great majority of commission houses were on the selling side, and there appeared to be but little buying power in the market. Further embargo restrictions were taken by some authorities to Indicate that neutrals would get no more American wheat for some time. It was as serted that no foreign shipments would be made except on the strictest ration lug basis. Decreasing stocks made the provis ion market firm. Besides, Liverpool advices were bullish.

FOR HOW LONG? Richmond Raises a Pertinent Question When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious illness, the first question that naturally arises is.. "How long .will he .keep well?" Temporary relief is one thing, but a lasting cure is altogether different. There Is nothing temporary about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills a3 the following evidence proves beyond a doubt. "Miss Sarah Hamilton. 310 N. 9th St.. Richmond, says: "For several years I had been subject to sciatic rheumatism, beginning in my back and extending to my shoulders. I was also subject to headaches. I could find nothing that would help me until I got Doan's Kidney Pills at Luken & Co.'s Drug Store. They made me feel like a different woman." (Statement given on Dec. 12. 1908.) On Sept. 14, 1915, Miss Hamilton naid: "The cure that Doan's Kidney Pills gave me has been permanent. I am always glad to Bay a good word for them." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Miss Hamilton has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.

Make your clothes last another season. The policy of our nation at present is to conserve. But the man or woman who discards clothes just because they are slightly soiled or worn is not only indulging in extravagances, but is wasting a thing which we are urged not to do. - Dig down in your cedar chest. Get out your last fall's dresses, coats, suit's iri fact, your entire wardrobe. Send them to Wilson and let him renew them. He will clean, repair and reline them, faultlessly, and make it unnecessary for you to spend money for a new outfit.

UNCLE SAM Continued From Page One. sing has in the American embargo on steel exports a powerful argument to use In including our far eastern ally to employ its large and well trained army to assist in the work of battering the Central Powers to their knees. War Helped Japan. To state the case bluntly the present war has been a good thing for Japan. It has enabled her to establish ber authority over the demoralized Chinese republic; she has seized the valuable German colony in China with relatively small loss of life, and she has gobbled up practically all the Pacific Island possessions of Germany. All this Japan has done without sending troops to the European battlefields. She has used her man-power Instead for supplying war munitions to her allies, and has grown rich In doing so. To state another fact very bluntly the United States is now in a position to Japan, in diplomatic language: "If you want steel fight." Not one of the Entente powers has had the nerve, as yet, to make this demand of Japan, although Italy Is now broadly hinting, for the benefit of Japan, that an ally which will not fight is not much of an ally. Italy has conducted the most brilliant offensive of the year. There is no gainsaying that fact. Here in Washington it is generally agreed that if a Japanese army had been on the eastern front this year to prevent the collapse of the Russian offensive Italy would have been entirely successful in her effort to deal a death blow to Austrian power a result which would have unquestionably ended the war.

right at the time the Italian offensive was at its heighth and It was possible for the Central Power to withdraw sufficient Austro-Germaa forces from the eastern front to bring to a halt the victorious Italian thrust "Why?" Italy now asks; "Why must the United States, a nation which practically had no army prior to last April, be asked to send troops to Europe and no appeal for troops be made to Japan, which has one of the largest and most effective armies in the world?" Japan needs steel. Viscount Ishil has been clothed with great authority by his government and Secretary Lansing has proved himself to be a very shrewd diplomatist

Following vigorous complaints received from Rushville, Shirley, Richmond, Newcastle and other points in the Sixth Indiana distrist against an order issued by Robert S. Lovett. chairman of the railroad war board, which threatened a coal famine in Indiana, Representative Elliott entered a protest with Mr. Lovett and as a res'ult a modification of the order was obtained within 48 hours. The original order would have permitted only coal shipments to lake points from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Lovett has amended the ruling to provide Indiana industries with all the coal they require.
