Chamber Of Commerce Appoints
Committee to Confer With
Atlantic Fleet Surgeon.
WILL MAKE 'oUT STRONG CASE
Committee Will Show That All Milk
In This Section is subjecse5 to
Test and That Oyster Beds N
Tidewater Are in Healthy Con-
dition.

A special committee, composed or
Matthew c. Armstrong. chairman;
DIR. Clarence Porter Jones and C. B.
helms. was appointed by the board OF
directors Of the Chamber Of Com
mercc yesterday afternoon to take up
with the navy department the matter
of having the embargo against the
milk and oysters of Tidewater Vir-
ginia lifted. The committee will act
jointly with the health authorities
OF this city, Hampton and Norfolk and
the Elizabeth CITY Medical Society.
Write to Fleet Surgeon.
Following the appointment of the
committee, 1t was announced that the
tirst step In the move will be the ad-
dressing of a letter to the chief sur
goon OF the Atlantic feet, asking that
the embargo be lifted SO far as the
men of that feet are concerned. The
committee will make out a strong
case and will show that all Of the
milk used in Tidewater Virginia is
subjected to periodical tests by the
health authorities of the cities and
counties and that it Is as good as any
that is 10 be found at other sea ports.
As to Condition Of Oysters.
Chairman Armstrong. who is an ex-
pert on oysters, win point out to the
surgeon some facts about the oysters
OF Tidewater Virginia. Among other
things he will present documents to
prcve that the oyster beds in this
section are in very healthy condition
and that the oysters are wholesome
as well as palatable.
| He will also supply the surgeon with
copy of the report of the Virginia
State board Of health on the exani-
nation of the oyster beds OF this Sec
ton which was made only a few
months ago. This report says that
all of the unsanitary beds in Tide
water have been abandoned and that
during the past year Improvements
have been made 20 all OF the beds.
The report also contains an analysis
1 OF the oysters Of this section.
Committee Confident Of Success.
The committee is confident that the
embargo will be lifted after II has
made a presentation of its case. The
embargo was placed on the milk 1nd
oysters six years ago by the feet sur
geons and IL has never been lifted.
presumably because no one has made
an effort TO have Il lifted The local
health officers readily admit thai
there was cause for putting the ban
on the milk and oysters six years
ago and also contend that there arr
no reasons nov why Il should no,
be lifted.

New York, Nov. S.-The general Ii
quidation noted toward the close OF last
week was renewed upon an even more
active and excited scale at the reopen
ing Of the cotton market this morning.
Rallies occurred during the day, as
result of covering and some buying for
a reaction, but offerings seemed to in
crease on every bulge, and while the
final tone was steady, last prices show
ed a net loss of 13 to 80 points on all
positions except September, which was
points net higher
The market opened weak at decline
of 22 to 3S points under a tremendous
volume of over Sunday selling orders
and lower cables. These orders had
evidently originated before the census
figures were available. so that the
amount of cotton ginned to November
| could not have been an influence, and
as a matter of fact the census report
received very little attention at any
time during the day, the figures being
lust about as expected. Right after
the opening the active months rallied
30 to 25 points from the lowest, but
offerings increased on the bulge, while
there was no sign of support from the
recent bull leaders who are supposed
to have taken their profits before the
beginning of the decline. The abb
sence of demand from this source in
creased the apprehenSions or remain
ing outside longs. and during the mid
die Of the Gay. local bear raid brought
out a lot more long cotton, fresh stop
loss orders Were uncovered and some
of the months sold even lower than
they had at the opening, with the gem
eral list showing a net loss of from 80
To 81 points. From this level there was
a rally to within Is or 16 points Of last
weeks finals, but the market contin-
ued very unsettled, and speculative
longs seemed to be very fearful of a
general weakening in the south. where
there are said to be many speculative
holders of spots.
The southern spot markets officially
reported were unchanged to &c lower.

ADVICE IS GIVEN
TO THE FARMERS

al day on soft ground unless his
shoulders are well hardened by reg
ular work in the collar.
Here are a few suggestions which
will be we'll worth remembering.
When a horse is tired. he is much
more subject to collie. DO not change
the feed on the horse during heavy
spring work. There is much more
danger in feeding corn or wheat than
there is in feeding oats. Water your
horses when you first bring them in
from the field; then let them eat hay
for half hour. and give them their
grain last. Pull their shoes off while
doing the spring work.
Remember, the horse will have a
heavy coat of hair, and Will, there
fore, sweat easily and be all the more
likely to catch cold and get pneu-
monia. FOR the first week or two
bathe the neck and shoulders with
cold water every night after the days
work is done. See that the collar
fits snug and that the names are
bucSled up tight. The shoulders are
less likely to be scalded and bruised
without pad then with it. If the
horse gets sweenied. he will have TO
be laid off for several months. Guard
against that dangerous disease
azatouria. This disease almost in
variably comes on after the horse has
been resting two or three days during
a storm and kept on full feed. Re
duce the grain AT least one-half
while the horse is not at work.
Founder is caused from too much
feed. sudden change of food, or a
drink of water when the animal is
warm. Distemper is especially liable
to attack the young horses in the
spring of the year, just when their
services are most valuable. This
disease is contagious. and care should
be exercised against exposing the
young horses to the infection. The
most common way that young horses
get this disease is when they are
taken to town and allowed to drink
out of public watering troughs and
tied to hitching posts where other
horses have been tied that had the
disease.

Spring is close at hand and it is
time to be getting ready to put in the
crops. Among other things to think
of in this connection is the matter of
getting the horses into condition.
The first work in the spring is the
hardest of the year. and the horses
are the least prepared to do heavy
work. To be deprived of the use of
a horse in the spring is serious. even
though the horse is not greatly de-
preciated in value or lost entirely
Young horses. especially, should be
broken and given some work during
the winter and should be fed some
grain. This will tougher their shoul-
ders, and at the same time they will
have become accustomed to grain
and will. therefore, be less liable to
collie, and in every way better able to
stand the work.
sudden change of food in horses
is always dangerous. hut to start a
colt in on grain, with heavy work,
that has never had either. is almost
sure to be disastrous. A young horse
especially cannot stand heavy pulling
