When men enter the Army their teeth are ex-
amined. and although this examination is super
ficial, the examining officer must be satisfied
that the recruit has at least four sound double
teeth one above and two below on each side OF
the mouth. and in such position that they may
be used for chewing III the front teeth are
missing. and the double teeth remain or if the
man has only back teeth he Is rejected. False
teeth not considered the equivalents of the
natural article. In the early days of the Re
public and during the Civil War the teeth of
a soldier were examined more closely than they
are now. because it required good grinders to
masticate the hardtack which formed one Of
the staples of subsistence. The front teeth were
essential to the soldier before the war; to bite
off the tip of the cartridge used in the old muz-
zle loading guns Despite the fact that hard
tack is not so popular as it was, and that breech
loading rifles have made cartridge biting lost

these teeth wrote L. Washington:

were back about the high level, and with profit-taking heavy on the reaction, new buying turned the market easily. As has been the case for some days, there was less pressure on the market than might have been expected.
 Commission houses sold a lot of cotton last night and again this morning, but new buying carried the cotton without influencing prices, and the advance came quickly. January sold up to 7S5 or with In point or two of the high level. Now that long cotton has in many cases been sold and the market relieved, there is a general feeling that prices will work higher.
 No rains are in evidence in Texas, and far too much moisture in Atlantic states. The bureau report on Tuesday is expected to be worst of the season. and the antic> ipatlon of this is expected to work for higher prices
 The scare is on and a higher level of prices Is likely to be reached before the movement culminates. We cannot help feeling that caution Is now the better pol- icy. as the market on Monday and Tues day is likely to be a wild one, and after the trade Is loaded with cotton, a change of weather would bring about a sharp setback. l'a
 The cotton market seldom moves more than a cent pound without period of hesitancy.
 But there is nothing as yet upon which to sell cotton for decline. The Texas sit- uation Is too serious, the amount of cot ton in spinners' hands too small.
