They seem to be sort of a kilt pleat with a bias slope. He is not very fashionable, but is up to date in taking care of himself. Some sudden, violent pains crease, twist or con tract the muscles or tendons, and this is the nature of a bad sprain. If neglected, the creases increase, and so does the pain, until sometimes it is very difficult to straighten them out, but by the prompt upe of St. Jacobs Oil, the friction or rub bing in its application and the curative qualities of the oil will smooth out the worst twist or crease and get the muscle in natural shape, where it will remain, re stored, strengthened, cured. Promptness in using it insures prompt cure, and when the sprain is cured, it is cured for good. . C. P.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that bo many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER Downing, Bopkini & Company' Beview of Trade. - Trading in wheat this week has not been widespread, but to a great extent was confined within 'the ranks of the professionals, who are considerably worked up over the increasing amount of bad crop news. St. Louis appears to be the center of the disturbance and has been persistently loading the wries with stories of great harm done. Many traders have been disinclined to give the reports much attention, and in fact have only arched their eyebrows when brought to their notice. Many of those who have been loathe to acknowledge' these stories are now changing front and think there must be some fire where there is so much smoke. The country at large, though, is only buying wheat sparingly, but St. Louis professionals appear to be taking hold liberally, and are pinning their faith in the reliability of crop damage in the Southwest. This is just the time of year for a genuine crop scare, and, with the weather con ditions as they are, damage tales will multiply instead of diminish. , ' Statistics are, of course, just as favor able for an advance as at any time re cently; in fact more so. Visible stocks are decreasing and the world's stocks are steadily diminishing.' The world's shipments are running from 8,000,000 to 3,500,000 bushels below the weekly requirements of the United Kingdom and the continent, but for all that, for eigners are not alarmed over the out look. They are certainly not taking the wheat from this country in such quantities as one would expect under the circumstances. Cables are merely fractional in quoting changes on the other side. Exports of wheat and flour from both coasts for the week are 100, 000 'bushels more than last week, and exceed those for the same week in 1896 by about 5,000- bushels. We have had war scares of the opera bouffe order, but war seems to be just as distant as ever.

While a student in the New York university law school and under great pressure from work and study, I was advised to take Paine's celery com pound. I did so, and its beneficial re sults to one whose nerves are under th trial i severe mental effort, I am only too ready to assert.

A Pretty Face Tells a story of health. It is the reflection of strength in all the vital parts. A face is ex pressive of joy and mirth, caused by health, or of misery and suffering, caused by disease. The nerves that are irritable and tired cannot give brightness to the eye ; blood that is sluggish cannot make the cheeks rosy ; so ill health tells its story, too.
