TALL CORN

doesn't come by accident. A
fertile soil and careful cultiva-
ton are necessary to produce
the towering stems and heavy
ears.
Yet the farmer who under
stands that he can't have a
healthy corn crop without
feeding and wedding, seems
to think that he can have a
healthy body without either
care or culture. But the BODY
IS built up just as the corn is,
by the assimilation of the
several chemical elements on
which vitality depends. And
what weeds are to the corn,
diseases of the stomach and
nutritive systems are to the
body; they divert the neces-
sary food supply from the
proper channels, and the
body becomes lean, sickly
and ill-nourished.
The proper digestion and
assimilation of food is a pri-
mary essential of health. By
healing diseases of the stom-
ach and organs of digestion and
nutrition, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery increases
the digestive and assimilative
powers, stimulates the action
of the blood making glands,
and sends to every organ of the
body the rich red-corpuscled
blood on which physical vigor
and vitality depend.

CORRESPONDENCE of The Journal.
In looking over spring woods one is
not impressed with any special variety.
Granite mixtures, homespun, gray
woods, prunella cloths, whipcord, Vene-
tians. or broadcloth comprise the as
sortment, therefore the cut and trim
ming must be depended upon for novel
ty. The demand for mohair is very
great, in two-tone colorings or plain, es-
pecially in white or cream, and all
shiny, smoothed-finished fabrics will
this season take high rank. A very
sheer poplin, called Eolian, comes in
various colors or white, dotted, lace
striped or in seeded effects, and as a
contrast come crepe cloths in every
stylish hue, possessing their peculiar
softness and beauty.
BLACK is QUITE PROMINENT,
especially in broadcloths or plain woods
for tailor suits, and plain or figured
mohair, the first mentioned affording
an especial vantage ground for gilt
trimmings or white embroidery. Blue
foulard silks are again the rage; never
theless other colors will be largely used,
and taffetas of every grade have their
position, especially for Innings. Crepe
de Chine embodies all stylish require
ments, and chiffon, lovely chiffon, could
not be displaced.
IN THE COTTON GOODS
shown by Lord & Taylor the choice is
so great and the display so attractive
as to stamp them leading fabrics. To say
that stripes, dots, scroll-patterns or
floral figures are the principal ornamen-
tations conveys but faint idea of their
variety and beauty. Swiss muslins,
plain or embroidered, batiste, bereges,
Madras, swivel silks, percales, Scotch
zephyrs in jacquard or lace weaves, in
clude all fashionable hues, often COM
bined with touches of black, which en-
nance their lovely colorings. Mercerized
canvas must not be overlooked-a most
desirable material for summer use, as
it retains it's lustre after being washed,
NEW SHAPES IN SKIRTS FOR SPRING
are just now of special Importance,
and the 'rainy day" skirt having set
the example most of them clear the
ground by two or three inches, and for
such length wide velveteen or cordu-
roy binding is specially desirable.
Drop skirts are almost universal in con-
nection with high-class material, and
for the bell skirt recently introduced
great future is predicted. Graceful
curves around the lower edge are mark
ed feature, and for each the S. H. & M.

Green H. Delaperriere, Norwood L. Tyr

Georgia, are in the custody of the police

or the Georgia authorities send for them
The case was first brought to the atten-
ton Of the police when Delaperriere called
on Inspector Boardman yesterday after
noon and complained that the other boys

time was that he and two companions
came here from Dahlonega, Ga, where
they were attending college, his Delaper-

of more than $500. They came here, he
stated. to witness the inaugural ceremo-
MES. and rented a room at 631 NJ street
northwest. His companions he said,
broke open his trunk and disappeared with
the amount of money stated, $49S.
Soon after he made the report Inspector
Boardman learned that the boys who had
disappeared had gone to New York. A
few minutes after the complaint OF the
alleged robbery was made a message was
received from Tyrrells father, at Atlanta.
telling of the flight of the boys and asking
that his son be arrested and held. Della
perriere insisted that there was a mistake
in the message. so far 1t related to him
self, and repeated the assertion that his
father had given him the money. Later in
the day, when he had been assured that he
would be held in custody until the arrival
of his father or an officer to take him
home. he weakened and confessed that he
had forged his fathers name to a check
for 1920 and said he had been robbed Of

Smith and Tyrrell were taken from the
New York express train at Philadelphia
and $3.50 in cash was recovered. Detective
Helan went to Philadelphia last night and

NEW YORK. February 15.-Trading in
todays stock market was irregular in char
acter and results. In professional circles
there was a lack Of enthusiasm, but in the
matter Of short selling there was notice
able timidity. The rooms unwillngness to
sell for the short account and a marked
hesitancy to buy at the present level. are
an open acknowledgment OF the power of
banking interests to contest the price
movement.
It is expected that some announcement
will be made relative to the progress OF
several of the earlier consultations. prob
ably within few days, and new impetus
should be given the advance. In few In
stances. however. it is feared that a reac-
ton will precede new activity.

Of the stock shows no aggressive demand.
1t Is admitted that the banking interest
can do 1t plcases with the price. and
the present heaviness Of the stock attracts
little new business. because Of the fact
that the surface indications may be mis-
leading. Similar conditions exist in other
properties, Western Union. Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific. for example, and the
result Is that liquidation Is reported in the
properties on the one hand. and a quite ac-
on the other. The market is strong, how
ever. all things considered, and buying on
all declines is reported by commission
houses.
The steel consolidation Is progressing sat

Will see the transaction completed to the
point Of binding the obligation. 1t becomes
more and more apparent that the position
OF the preferred stocks Is decidedly stronger
than the common, even after allowing for
the accepted discrepancy In market prices.
For this reason the new buying Is being
directed to the preferred shares by those
supposed to know the details of the plan.
