EXPAND COTTON GOODS TRADE
Splendid Field Is Offered In Greece
Where Millions Of Dollars Worth
OF Goods Is Sold.

Information published by the United

that although Greece consumes an.
nually more than two and half mil.
lion dollars worth OF cotton Imports.
which are consumed under three main
heads-raw cotton, cotton yarn and
cotton goods, almost without excep.
ton the importers OF Patras, when
asked why they do not carry Ameri.
can goods, state that they have never
so much as seen samples of American
cotton goods.
The millions OF dollars worth of
cotton goods used In this territory are
practically all brought from abroad.
and they constitute one OF the chief
Items OF import into the district. This
would seem to offer a splendid field
for a healthy expansion OF the i'm.
port cotton trade OF the south. The
manufacturers of cotton goods ought
TO furnish the consul OF this territory
and OF all other foreign countries. sam.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone

Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard.

struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of piece of wire
Of considerable length and never hav.
Ing seen wire before he asked Profess
sor Mcmillan Of the Peary north pole
expedition what 1t was and what 1t
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck in the
ground and a voice talking to an in.
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the. Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc.
tion work Of his own. He stuck some
sticks In the ground and hung bis
wire on them: He held one end Of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
It at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation Of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion Of his white friend.

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.A per
cent from total Of 10107.
Considerable more than onehalf Of Phos-
phate OF Potash.
Analysis OF Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (which Join and make Phos-
phate Of Potash) Is considerable more than
one-half Of all the mineral salts In the food.
Dr. Geo. W. Carey. an authority on the
constituent elements Of the body. says: THE
gray matter Of the brain Is controlled entirely
by the inorganic celLsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate Of Potash. This salt unites
with albumen and BY the addition Of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter Of the
brain. OF course, there Is o trace Of other
salts and other organic matter In nerve Auid.
but Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract. by
its own law Of affinity. all things needed to
manufacture the elixir Of life"
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking principle.
and In molecular form, exactly as nature fur.
nishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply defcencies-this Is the only law Of
cure" h.t
The natural conclusion Is that II Phosphate
Of Potash Is the needed mineral element In
brain and you use food which does not contain
It, you have brain fag because It's daily loss Is
not supplied.
On the contrary. II you eat food known to
be rich In this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brainbuilding.

LONG HOURS ARE NECESSARY
Reasons Why Some Are Compelled to
Work Many Hours In Order to
Make Living.
By q. II. ALFORDD


Many farmers claim that they can.
not make a living without working
about 10 hours per day. That is true.
II Is necessary for them to cultivate
three acres Of land In order to obtain
one bale Of cotton or 40 bushels OF
corn. They have not removed the
stumps from their land and conse-
quently cannot use labor.saying farm
Implements to good advantage. They
do not diversity their crops and raise
good stock and for this reason they
are exceedingly busy at one season
and idle at another season of the
year, They are always behind time.
and as a result must make nine
stitches Instead Of one. They do not
thoroughly prepare the land before
planting time: they do not select their
planting seed In the field In the fall:
they do not give their crops frequent
and shallow cultivation. they do not
use fertilizers In the most economical
manner, Such farmers are barely able
to exist by working 10 hours per day.

Thousands OF dollars ought to be
