Thomson, mckinnon & co. grain LETTER CHICAGO, Aug. 2. —Wheat: Despite the pronounced decline in values in wheat coun try offerings remain of goodly proi>ortions. Sealx:ard reports a slight revival of foreign demand, mainly from Italy, whose require ments are estimated at around 100.009,000, there i s a broadening of the interest in the market for future delivery. Millers are in clined to watch developments closely. Corn —More influential traders are prompt ed to anticipate a little tally in corn prices. This feeling is caused by need of rain in Illinois and Indianar. It is not possibly to say that the sentiment favors liiglier prices. The market may react to some extent in case tlie drouth area widens but the present outlook suggests a crop considerably above average .requirements. Oats—As in wheat the price detcline has not reduced the offerings from country. On the contrary, requests for bids and offers to sell are quite genoral. Estimates of yields have been considerably increased and private reports point to excellent quality and condi tion. othing has developed as,yet to give tins market any individual quality. Provisions—There is a little steadier feel ing in this market on the belief that liqui dated holdings have passed into good hands.

Tortured and for Fifteen Years Rheumatism We can hardly imagine the feeling of joy and thankfulness which would possess one who, after ® suffering fifteen years the excrutiations of rheu “ . matism, finally gains relief. .. This was the experience of Mr. W. H. Edgars, wlf of 49 Cooper Street, Atlanta, Ga., who tells of his recovery as follows: “I suffered fifteen years with rheumatism. PE-RU-NA cured me and I think it is the best all around medicine ever made. I hope you publish W. H. Edgars m y letter for the benefit of others.” I Simple words, but they tell a big story in a straightforward, honest way. Rheumatism is only one of the many troubles due to catarrh. Coughs, ’colds, indigestion, constipation, sour stomach, belching, bloating, pains in the back, side and loins, are a few of them that may be traced to a catarrhal condition. In the prevention of grip and Spanish Flu, which are of a catarrhal nature, and to hasten recovery after an attack, the value of PE-RU-NA is undis puted. The safe way is to keep PE-RU-NA in the house all the time for emergencies. You can buy PE-RLi-NA anywhere in either tablet or liquid form.— (Advt.) wrniim zb _Z7 Here is our New Style E. D. L.
