IN PLAIN ENGLISH
DIR. Potts. Lectures Capable of Beins
Understood.

Another large audience heard DR.. Long
shore Potts second lecture at the Craw-
ford Grand theater yesterday afternoon.
The women who nave heard DR.. Potts are
all charmed viii her straightforward way
of talking about things which it is an act
ual benefit to them to know, and with the
Illustrative diagrams she is enabled to
make herself clearly understood.
How many women with families will
take the few hints she let drop yesterday
about teaching the children TO wait upon
one another? a good many. no doubt,
unless it is too much trouble.
Teach your little boys 10 wait upon
their sisters" says DR.. Potts, land they
will make better sons. better husbands
and better fathers.
And then, too, she continued there
are so many women who would rather do
things themselves than ask their hus-
bands Now, that is all wrong The ask
ing is far easier than lifting the heavy
bdrden. and the results are not half 50 apt
TO be disastrous"
The lecture was particularly instructive
from a physiological standpoint.
The introduction Of the twentieth cen
tury." said DR.. Potts, while marked by
phenomenal advances IN knowledge OF the
sciences and arts. is so lacking IN that Of
mans own machinery that ideas almost
barbarous obtain credence in otherwise
well informed minds
Today many are without medical help.
and the plea that our bodies are imagin-
airy. and for this assumption so extreme
as 70 be beyond the each Of logic the ply
sicians are largely to blame. Physicians
have held themselves aloof from the peo-
pie. Their technical language has been
that which passed from common use cen
turtles ago and this i unnecessary. They
have discouraged the education % the
masses in physiological matters and have
thought it beneath their dignity TO tell
their patients why they were III and what
they expected 20 produce by their treat
meut. Even now the etiquette Of the pro
fess.on taboos a dignifed advertisement
in the press. with the result that such ad-
yertisemeuts as are published are SO ex-
IRENE, not to say vulgar. that the people
know not what % believe.
Physicians should realize that their
ethics and etiquette are Obsolete They
should take the people into their conf
dence. and the result would % rich

H()G MARKET STRONG
Fair Line of offerings But
Many Lights.
TOPS STILL AT $3.50
No Cattle Market for the
Day.

Yesterda the local hog market was
strong. with a few sales at different
times through the day strong to ) cents
higher. There were higher markets all
over and the provision trade caught the
sympathy and also frmed up a nickel
on cash lard and ribs. There was some
slight weakness reported from one or two
points on the close, but the local condi-
lions were as good on the close as at any
time. All the transactions were made
on a stronger market, the grade Of hogs
being Of a sort that tended to pull down
The prices in spite Of real buoyant feeling
and eager, enthusiastic demand from buy
CTS. The quality Of the hogs was only
fair with some closely bordering on the
commonplace. There were at least two
cars In which were good and these easily
sold out at the best prices, one Of them
- the top, and one at 2i2 cents under.
y here were light, thin hogs in too great
prepOndeTance and while these sold
s-rong and at good figures for the inter
e5cs of shippers this class also tended to
Offset the better stock and lower the av-
erage weight of the day. The weight was
3 pounds below that of the day before,
and Wednesday Of last week, and Tues
day was not day Of good hogs in, either.
one or TWO OF the ll8HlcSl lO@lS were
not bad grade, and though small and
light, were fairly even hogs. The top
load showed up Z79 pounds, while a bunch
Of extra fine wagon hogs. ten in number,
took a nickel higher top and weighed go
pounds. The receipts were fairly good,
there being eight cars weighed UP, and
the volume being greater than the day
previous, but a little under that Of the
same day last week. Everything yarded
sold and no one was dissatisfied. There
was an active demand for hogs and bet
ter class would have been welcome. but
in their absence such as was at hand was
taken care of at the best prices possible.
The wagon trade was not heavy, but
there were some good hogs received from
this branch. and all sold well. One bunch
of six went over the 3o0-pound mark. The
tops and the bulk range for the day re-
manned the same as on Tuesday. The
trading was lively toward the close, when
most of the car stuff came in, and the
business was wound up early. It was a
good day and the dealers and buyers alike
felt jubilant.
