One Of the features Of the conference
will be reports from Harvard and Yale on

stiles. Both Yale and Harvard have been
carrying on Investigations of the effect
of diet upon the health and working ability
Of their students. and the report Of Mr..

interest
Other features will be suggestions for home

Washington, October 22.-In his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, the superintendent of the Arkansas Hot Springs reservation recommends direct governmental control of the springs there. He says:
 Experience has demonstrated that the present system of operating the baths through the medium of private lessees is in conflict with public opinion, and in- compatible with local conditdorls, and that the government should, as soon as practicable, consistent with existing con- ditions, assume absolute and complete control of this reservation. and operate the bathing interests under government supervision and control. thereby eliminat- ing the spirit of commercialism which is manifest under present conditions: and through scientific equipment. perfection of system, order, discipline and intelligent direction, extend the benefits to be de- rived from the healing waters, with rates adjusted to cover prudent operating ex- penses, and necessary Improvements. The present system, If 1t ever had any meri- torious features worthy of consideration, has outlived its usefulness, and should be supplanted by full governmental control in the management, operation and super vision of the baths"

WHEAT CROP SHORT.
Mexican Bakers Are Reducing Size of
 Their Loaves.

Mexico City, October 22.-The shortness Of the wheat crop Is greater than was estimated few weeks ago, and millers are looking for the entire removal of the duty on American and Canadian wheat # by the first of next year. The city bakers have reduced the size of their loaves as- serting that 1t is impossible to give the same weight as formerly. There are some stocks of wheat in the hands of large farmers here, but not sufficient to bring down the price which Is steadily rising.
 The price of corn is also rising, the ad- vance being over 50 per cent as compared with the prices of August. This causes hardship among the poor. There is pos- sibility of the duty on corn being abated
