New Orleans. Jan. Ill consider pres

cotton will sell at much higher range OF
prices before the end OF the season.. de-
clared Frank B. Hayne. to-day
There remains not more than 1000
bales Of the present crop to be ginned after
January l." he says, "to which will have
to be added linters and repacks, making
commercial crop OF about 1l.600,c00 bales.
The mills Of Great Britain will consume
more than ever before. In spite OF ocean
freights being the highest since 1900. there
Is such a scarcity OF tonnage that II Is
impossible to move cotton as rapidly as re-
quired by European spinners."

Brown is sometimes called says Chi

lodging houses like the institution in
New York The latter is capable of
sheltering LOCO men and so women.
The beds are of white enamel, and the
mattresses are of hair. So are the
pillows. Good. satisfying meals are
given TO the men who seek shelter
there. A shower bath is one of the
best features of the institution, Mr..
Brown says. and two physicians are
IN attendance 10 examine all who ap-

from the others and the dormitories
are ventilated with washed air Every

The hospitals were overcrowded for

ton exists in Chicago today. Chart
table hospitals are overcrowded with
men because they have been made sick
on account of exposure and the lack
of nourishing food. The best way to
