Children Should Eat Fat.

Fat is essential to the proper growth
of the tissues of the nerves and brain,
and is peculiarly important to chill
dren, as the brain enlarges rapidly dur
ing childhood. Next to butter and
cream, bacon is one of the most pal
atable forms in which it can be given.
1t should not be overlooked, as then
too much of the fat is fried out
Sometimes bread soaked in bacon fat
will be eaten with relish.

STEAMSHIP RATE WAR.
Reports Are Made of Cutting Rates,
 But Director Denies 1t.

Berlin, August PA rate war in volving cabin passage has broken out between the Cunard and the German lines, in the North Atlantic service. The Cunard line having offered a min imum flrst-cTass passage from Ham, burg to New York for $12750, tnclud- ing a free ticket to Liverpool and ex- penses there, the Hamburg-American line announces a reduction of the rates from $130 to $10750, and the North German Lloyd line reduction from S13O to $117.50. This was brought about after prolonged negotiations on the part of the German lines with the Cunard line for the purpose of reach ing an agreement to maintain com mon rates.
 The German lines are becoming in- volved in rate wars in various direc- tions.
 Decentralization prevails in the freight bushes to Brazil and other parts of South America, caused by cut from $8.75 to $375 per ton by the English shipping firm of Lampert & Holt. The latter went into the trans Atlantic business owing to the en- trance of the Hamburg South Ameri- can Steamship company and the Ham, burg-American line into the trade be- tween Brazil and New York, competing with Lampert & Holt and the Brazil ian Lloyd The German lines have been hard hit by the big reduction made by the Lampert & Holt line. They say single cargo of coffee must now be carried s25,0O0 cheaper
 The reports concerning a steamship rate war originated with the Frank furter Zeitung, but when a dispatch of inquiry was forwarded to Herr Bal lin, director of the Hamburg American line, he replied:
 There is absolutely no rate war be- tween the German companies and the Cunard companies"

STOCKS ADVANCE

HIGHER PRICES AT CLOSE

New York, August 22-Following an early period of irregularity, today's stock market moved to a generally higher level. Business was only more in diminished volume, however, and operations savored strongly Of professionalism. Apart from unauthenticated rumors of treasury re- lief" during the coming week and d shading in foreign exchange there was little in the days doings to account for the markets improvement, although the failure of the bank of England to advance It's rate of discount was accepted as an indication of better conditions abroad.
 In local financial circles scarcely mo1e than languid interest was shown regard Ing the speech which Mr. Taft was schcd- uled to make al Lexington during
 day. On the whole, a better feeliaF
 vailed as to the future of inc nJrHet. The sentiment was based in part on the absence of pressure to sell stocks and the belief that all ordinary commercial and industrial failures have been discounted. Advices from the principal industrial centers reported an unchanged condition in the steel and iron trade, with prac- tcally no reduction in the demand for finished materials during the late session on the exchange the movement became irregular again, prices sagglng somewhat on realizing for profits.
 The final hour developed increased dull ness but on a removal of short covering prices moved mp and closed al general net gains, In the time money market the feature today was an advance in thirty day rates to per cent for the longest periods. However rates were unchanged and the scarcity continued. The stagndht conditions in the bond market found fur ther reflection in the advance in the in- terstate rate on currency from to 4}s per cent, the increase applying to all but revenue bonds.
