SAVANNAH NAVAL STORES REVIEW. Savannah. Aug. SpeciaL)-Almost at the final call of the week ending yesterday rose to s6c per gallon, showing an effect ual gain over the former quotations at which the market seemed to have gotten into -''rut''.
 But will the market hold at this figure? That is the question.
 Speaking from a strictly statistical stand point, there is every reason to believe that the market would not only be sustained at this value but would show a further ad- vance. Rut-It Is 2 notorious fact that the market for weeks has been subject to con stant manipulation in which the laws or supply and demand did not in the least fig ure. and In fact one of the most prominent exporters said yesterday while discussing the market that the article was in ex- tremely delicate position just at this time and one which would readily respond to any manipulation which might be given
 The market on Wednesday (July SD opened firm at 55hc. It remained at this value until the opening yesterday when the article officially firm at 55hc to b6 q C and at the final call a further advance of quarter cent was quoted. the close being firm at 56c. the best value touched in some weeks. z
 The receipts Tuesday were 1,17o casks; week, 6,4Os; month, 5,161; season ss'25S.
 The exports none of which were foreign were: Tuesday 305; week 1,911; month l. 776: season 6s.794. Sales total 2.199; stock on hand 26.91S.
 INoSlHS were III cohStaHt ueHldhu eSPON ly the pale grades though these were hard to obtain owing to the great scarcity Prices suffered several reverses however and it is probable that quotations do not compare favorably with those of the week preceding the call yesterday the fol- lowing prices were quoted: Water white s6.1O@15; window glass S6. o@1o; N $5. 80 a 90; M $50; K $5. 35; s4.S0@S5; H $4 7OdSO; $4.65075; $4.6O970; E s4 S5@45: D $4.15; CBA $3. .9O@$4. %.

CANCER IN CHICAGO
Great Prevalence of Disease In That
 City Caused by Impure Food.

Chicago. Sept-Chieago scientists are deeply interested in the result of two years exhaustive research upon cancer in Chicago by Dr. G. Cooke Adams Of London, and formerly of Australia, just made public here through the Department of Health. Dr. Adams has proved conclusively that diet plays most important fac tor in the increase of the disease and it's death rate The increase from cancer in Chicago from 1866 to 1905 was 23.2 per cent; in 1SS6, one in each 164 deaths was due to cancer, and in 1905 it had increased to one death in every g. The results show that the increase is due 10 the for eign born inhabitants, as the native Chicago-born show the lowest death rate in the world The death rate among the foreign-born from cancer in Chicago is rapidly increasing. The German and Irish show the highest death rate from cancer in the world, nearly 300 per cent higher than in their native countries The Ita ians and Chinese maintain the lowest death rate of all from cancer as shown in their own countries.
 Concerning his researches Dr. Adams says.
 My statistical investigations in Europe. Great Britain ana ln the Gni= ted States of America fully corrobo- rate my earlier Australian ohserya= tlons The increase of cancer and it's death rate in the United States. par tieularly among the fofeisn.bofn in. habitants. Is alarming, the mortality Of the forefgn-born being far ia exs cess of the death rate of the native born. and contributing the greatest part toward the generally high nor talits
 The cause of this greatly increased death-rate among the foreignborn cannot be charged 10 climatic condi- tions, for l have found that the Chi cago and Illinois born have about the i lowest death.rate from cancer of any people the world. for many years the | average being l death from cancer in every 100 deaths among thesepeople, i and but l cancer death in l2 among l the native Chicagoans over 10 years of age. The cause of the high death rate is the great quantity of impure l food consumed by the foreign poor.

herrlnn a Slow Growinn Fish.

According to recent reports of scien- tif1c investigators. the herring is q fish of slow growth When one year oIs it is barely two and one=quarter inches in length Net until it is five yesrs old does it reach maturity and spawn Then if is of an average length of nine and three-eighths inches. Herring over l2 inches long may be ten gears old and more; and the large specimens that are occasionally caught measuring from 14 to 15 inches. are probably over IS years old and may be 20
 An interesting method which has been adopted to trace the migration of .he fish consists in marking some of them while in the seine net with a printed silk tag and setting them free. Over 300 have been thus marked but. so far, only five have been caught again. and these were near the place of liberation.

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in tho
 United States.

Tea. not from leaves, but from the flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en. countered in commerce. The petals stamens. etc. are sun dried, and the resulting tea is of a rich. deep brown hue of peculiarly delicate odor. and gives q pale amber colored infusion rather more astringent in taste than that from the average fair grade leaf. The taste for it Is an acquired one, and even if this tea could be made commercially possible. fl Is doubtful if it would ever become popular.
 The American tea trade could ad- vantageously take a suggestion from the brick tea of the far east In our country. the tea dust, some of which is good quality. is not properly utilized. In Europe 1t is I regular article of trade, and it is advertised and sold as tea dust. In America it is sold to thousands of cheap restau- rants. who make from it the mixture of tanic acid. sugar and boiled milk which they sell as tea If, as in the orient, this dust was compressed into bricks. good tea could be made from

PUTS THE "GINGER" IN.
The Kind of Food Used by Athletes.

A former college athlete. one of the long distance runners. began 10 lose his power of endurance. His eXperi- enee with change in food is interest ing.
 While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily 'jogs' be came task untii after l was put on Grape-Nuts food for tWo meals day. After using the Food for two weeks felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect. nerves seady and I was full of energy.
 T trained fer the mile and the half mile runs tthose events which require so much enduranee) and then the long daily jogs. which before had been such a task, were clipped of with ease l won both events.
 The GrapeNuts food put me in per feet condition and gave me my ginger Not only was my physical condition made perfect. and my weight in- creased. but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that l could get out my studies in about half the time for merly required Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nuts for they have learned its value, but l think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help some one to learn how the best results can be ob- tained"
 There's a reason for the effect of Grape-Nuts food on the human body and brain. The certain elements in wheat and barley are selected with special reference to their power for re building the brain and nerve centres The product is then carefully and scientifically prepared so as to make 1t easy of digestion. The physical ant mental results are so apparent aftel two or three weeks use as to produce profound impression Read "Th' Road to Melville" in pkgs. "There' reason
