DIET FOR FEVERS.
Diluted Milk Is the Safest Kind of
Food to Employ.

Diluted Milk Is the Safest Kind OF
Food to Employ.
During the first few days of any run
of fever there should be no attempt
made to give food, for as neither gas
trio nor pancreatic juices are secreted,
the stomach cannot digest food and it
putrefies. After the saliva and other
secretions have been restored food
should be given that is easiest to di.
gest. Milk, which contains all the food
principles, is known as the special diet
for fevers of any sort. Diluted milk is
easier of digestion than the pure milk,
which curdles almost as soon as it en-
ters the stomach. One part of lime
water to one of milk is good pro
portion. Milk and mineral water is
also excellent. Fill a glass half full
of milk and then fill up with the min
eral water. A little salt Increases its
palatability Invalids, by tue way, pre-,
fer more salt and less sugar in any
dish. II plain milk agrees with the
patient he may be allowed to have
from one u t5To quarts in twenty-four
hours. ....i!; and barley waters and
pepto2i-oi milk are all nutritious and
digestible. Where a patient gets very
tired of the taste of milk the flavor
may bo varied by adding, with the
physicians permission. a little strong
coffee or oyster or clam broth.-Chi-

ESSENTIAL IN BUSINESS.
Ability to Make "a Clear, Straight
forward Statement.

ABILITY TO Make a Clear, Straight
forward Statement.
There are many qualities necessary
to success in modern business life, but
there is none of more Importance to
man holding a position of responsible
ty than the power to make plain,
straightforward, businesslike state
ment. The quality of fluency is not
so much what is required as the quail
ties of accuracy and clearneSS, definite
ness and brevity, tact and judgment,
If we are not clear and precise it is
certain that those who listen to US
will be no more clear when we have
finished than we are ourselves, proba-
bly, much less so We must have no
vague and misty ideas about the sub
ject, but they must be cry5talliZed and
definite. These qualities of our thought
and speech, however, cannot be left to
chance. They are attained as the re
suit of effort, of careful and independ.
ent thought on the subject, for our
selves, of looking at it from many
points of view, and thus satisfying
ourselves and those who listen to Us
that we thoroughly understand what
we are talking about. Having decided
what to say and having properly ar
ranged it, the last point is how to say
it. The first essential is to speak dis
tinctly, then to be natural, straightfor-
ward, lucid, neither to strive after eff
feet nor to exaggerate, but to give the
impression that we are ourselves con-
vinced of the cogency and force of our
own contention-Tec

Like a meteoric stone crashing

Der 1st was issued at noon yesterday,
and gave an estimate of six and half
million bales. This was a sledge ham
mer in the,paws of the bears and they
whacked the bull force out the ring.
Immediate upon the announcement
of the figures, g, 500, 900 bales, the mark
ct fell forty points.
Towards the close of the day there
was slight rally of ten points, but
King Cotton had it in his solar plexus
and was doubled up like jack knife
The blow was as sudden as it was
paralyzing, as it was supposed the
ginners report would put up prices.
But it did'nt-by forty poInts-and
the feeling here now is one of intense
goneness. In the Americus market
spot cotton decline full half cent. At
ter the report came Yesterday 108 cents
was the best offered, as against IL
cents paid earlier IN the day.
The regular Government report will
be issued tomorrow, and this may
whack another slice off the price of the
staple.
