WHEAT CORNER BROKEN Alleged That Patten Has Dis posed of All His Holdings. MANY FORTUNES WERE LOST When Erstwhile “Wheat King” Left for New Mexico the Market Declined Nine Cents. Chicago, 111—That James A. Pat. ten, hailed throughout the country as the “wheat king,’’ nas withdrawn from the market after disposing of his heavy holdings of May and July wheat is asserted in many quarters here. To this assertion was added the fact that prices have tumbled over 9 cents during the last week and that Mr. Patten himself has sought rest in the fastnesses of a New Mexico ranch. Whether he has eliminated himself from the so-called ‘deal,’’ and, if so, whether he came out with profit or losj, are questions which can be an swered only by Mr. Patten himself. From nearly every point came re ports of normal, and even better, crop prospects. Liverpool prices were down and the shipments from Argentina, Australia ana other for eign countries were said to be great er than usual at this time of the year. While Mr. Patten, quoted as saying he was fleeing from reporters, was making for the ranch of his friend and partner, W. H. Bartlett, just over the Colorado line in New Mexico, de jection was pictured on the face of many a smalt speculator haunting the ticker in various brokerage houses. Many a fortune has been wiped out by the decline and many a man who had a handsome profit on paper, but still hung on for more, now con fronts a deficit. There are many sucn. The wide publicity given the mar ket brought into it many a man wno ordinarily walked in quieter paths. Even the “regulars,” tor the most part, followed the hull leader with un usual enthusiasm, and saw nothing further in the previous declines but flurry. Mr. Patten so characterized it and his word was accepted. They held to the limit of their resources, and were wiped ott the speculative slate when their margins became ex hausted and there was no longer a it. serve to draw on. They would have liked very mucn to know whether Mr. Patten had let orders secretly to make further pur. chases at the concession in prices. In the absence of such information, how. ever, "Mr. Patten’s absence in a sec. tion of the country where he will not be much troubled by either reporters, or quotations, and the utter weak’ ness indicated by the decline, gave rise to many hints that “Patten was well out of it.” The regular bulletin issued by Bart lett, Patten & bo. had this to say: “The real situation is unchanged. There is no more wheat in the coun try than there was before the decline, and the demand is just as good. Our confidence in higher prices is as great as ever.” Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, whose information concerning crops, Mr. Patten recently declared to be “the joke of the country,” appears to have been vindicated. Trinidad, Col. James Ayer Pat ten, Chicago’s “w'heat king,” who was reported to have deserted the battle in the wheat pit to inspect for him self the wheat situation in the cen tral west, arrived at Trinidad and left shortly afterwards for Tecio, Col., a little post station near the New Mexico line. “None of your business,” was his reply to a question as to his mission in Trinidad. “I’ve been hounded to death by reporters for weeks.” DESTROY NIAGARA FALL’S POWER. Chicago Sanitary Canal Would Cost Falls 490,000 Horsepower. Chicago, 111. —Niagara Falls would lose as a source of water power if the sanitary district of Chicago were permitted to construct the proposed sag canal and divert the channel of the Calumet river, pouring four thou sand galls of water a second from Lake Michigan into the drainage ca nal, according to the testimony of En gineer E. S. Wheeler, in the federal hearing before Special Examiner S. M. Morgan. Such a diversion of wa ter would reduce the power of Niag ara 490,000 horsepower, according to Mr. Wheeler’s expert testimony. Assistant District Attorneys Wil kerson and Reed are offering the tes timony in an injunction suit brought to prevent the drainage board of con structing the canal without the con sent of the war department. The government declines to interfere on the ground that the Calumet river is a navigable stream. CREATE CUSTOM COURT. Senate Finance Committee Amends Tariff Bill. Washington, D. C.

This Question is Important in Paint ing a House or Other Building. A proper color scheme is extremely important in painting a house. It makes all the difference between a really attractive home and one at which you wouldn’t take a second glance. And It makes a big differ ence in the price the property will bring on the market. As to the exterior a good deal de pends upon the size and architecture of the house and upon Its surround ings. For a good interior effect you must consider the size of the rooms, the light, etc. You can avoid disappointment by Btudying the books of color schemes for both exterior and interior paint ing, which can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowners’ Painting Outfit No. 49. The outfit also Includes specifications and a simple Instrument for testing the purity of paint materials. Pure White Lead which will stand the test in this outfit will stand the weather test.

Big, Painful Swellings Broke and Did Not Heal—Suffered 3 Years— Tortures Yield to Cuticura. “Little black swellings wore scattered over my face and neck and they would leave little black scars that would itch so I couldn’t keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear and my clothes would stick to the sores. I went to a doctor, but the trouble only got worse. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in swellings as large as a dollar. It was so painful that I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swellings, but when they broke the places would not heal. I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies and in less than a week some of the places were nearly well. I continued until I had used three sets, and now I am sound and well. The disease lasted three years. 0. L. Wilson, Puryear, Tenn., Feb. 8, 1908.” Potter Drug & Chem.

LEAD COMPANY IJO2 Trinity Building, New Tor* A woman who is sick and suffering, and won’t at least try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, is to blame for her own wretched condition. There are literally hundreds of thousands of women in the United States who have been benefited by this famous old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman’s suffering. Read what these women say: Camden, N. ,T. “lt is with pleasure that I send my testimo nial for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, hoping it may induce other suffering women to avail themselves of the benefit of this valuable remedy. “ I suffered from pains in my back and side, siek headaches, no appetite, was tired and nervous all the time, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made me a well woman —and this valuable medicine shall always have my praise.” Mrs. W. P. Valentine, 002 Lincoln Ave., Camden, N. J. Erie, Pa.—“l suffered for five years from female troubles, and at last was almost helpless. 1 tried three doctors hut they did me no good. My sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and it has made me well and strong. I hope all suffering women will just give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial, for it is worth its weight in gold.” Mrs. J. P. Endlieli, It. F. I>. 7, Erie, Pa. Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub* lish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffer ing from the same trouble. For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for 7,)i 5 \ female ills. No siek woman does justice to IU( wr herself who will not try this famous medicine. S / Was Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and tv ‘ vj has thousands of cures to its credit. 11 y I If the slightest trouble appears which fA n) you do not understand, write to Mrs. \\]jlVT (// Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for her advice —it is ujllb) free and always helpful. W©ntai’s Beauty Some women retain their beauty to an advanced age. But women, who regularly endure pain, age rapidly, for suffering leaves its lasting marks on them. Nearly all women suffer more or less with some form of female trouble. It should not be neglected. Avoid the pain—treat yourself at home by taking Cardui, as thousands of other women have done. Begin at once and give Cardui a fair trial. J 3t If Will Help You Mrs. Katie Burlison, Goreville, 111., tried Cardui and writes: “I suffered with female troubles, and was so sick I could not stand on my feet. Finally I began to take Cardui, and soon began to mend. Now lam able to do all my housework and am in much better health than I was before.’’ Try it.
