New York. Oct. 14-PriceS of virtually

points today. The market displayed more
consistent strength than on any previous
day for several weeks. The list advanced
steadily under the influence OF an active
demand from the opening of trading IL
the close. There was further evidence OF
short covering. but that the demand did
not come in the main from this source
was indicated by the breadth of the
prominent issues sharing in IT, advance
with the speculative fayorites. Although
public participation in the market is still.
small, there was evidence today of an in
creasing outside interest.
The several securities of the American
Tobacco Company were again active. and
the bonds developed some heaviness. The
recent marked rise in the four per cent
bonds is accepted as proof that the ortgi
nal reorganization Ilaus of the company
have undergone modification. Additional

New York, Oct. 14.-Recent bearish pre-
dictions OF 9 cents for cotton materialiZed
in today's market when both October and
January contracts sold at that level.
The market opened steady at a decline
Of sac points in response to lower Liver
pool cables. There was some trade buying
around the initial figures and prohibiting
by shorts was extremely heavy but rallies
of 4 Or 3 points were quickly succeeded
by renewed weakness and in tLe late trad

points on the active positions. Business
was very active, for a Saturday with tie
continued good weather in the South Sus-
costing big wagon receipts at Interior
points today, and the probability Of heavy
southern hedge selling against them at the
opening of the market here on Monday
morning, undoubtedly inspired much OF
the local pressure.
Private cables attributed the decline in
Liverpool to liquidation by disappointed
buyers, owing to continued free offerings
of actual reports and while comparatively
low private reps were received here dur
ing the morning from the Southern mar
kets. the heavy Southern selling was taken
as rejecting continued weakness in the in
terror. There were indications around tne
ring that some recent strong local buyers
were liquidating en- the decline, and it
was claimed hat old shorts who mad coz
cred above 97a cents. were putting out Tie
cotton again around the 9-cent level.
Houses with Southern connections aud spot
houses were particularly heavy sellers here
just before the close. and the broker of a
leading spot interest was the first to sell
January contracts at 9 cents representing
a decline Of ATS points in the high price
reached by January deliveries last June,
and a break of about 267 points since The
Sth Of September.

How II VIII Pay.
In this connection 1t may be said
that there is no politics In this High

stration work.
The distinctive and Characteristic
feature OF Its good work Is co-opera-
tion between the industry and the
school people. Many other high schools
have industrial departments and ma
chine shops. but the feature of the
Henrico County High School machine
ship is that the equipment was given
by an Industrial plant of the commun-
ity because 1t felt that the county
schools could thereby make their
graduates more efficient and thereby
make them better machinists when
they go to work.
II will pay other industries in other
parts Of the State to help the public
schools TO encourage Industrial educa-
ton. 1t will help to keep the boys at
home. that they may help TO build up
the old state and make 1t as great

In some cases a tendency to colds is

Dangers of Pampering.
Overdressing for cold weather and
ogerheated living rooms are often re-
sponsible for frequent colds. Medium
weight underwear should he worn and
the outer clothing adapted to changes
in the weather. This does not mean
that we should leave off overcoats in
the winter time and be uncomfortable
chilly in an endeavor to harden the
system. Old people especially should
dress for comfort in cold weather. but
comfort can be had without wearing
heavy muffiers around the neck and
heavy fur garments in ordinary winter
weather.
Value Of Bathing.
The morning cold bath Is valuable
measure for cultivating a resistance to
colds. This should be taken in warm
room. and If the bather is not robust
he should stand in a tub of hot water
and sponge or spray the body with
water sufficiently. cold to cause an
agreeable glow or reaction after the
first shock. but not cold enough to
cause blueness of the skin or chilli
ness and depression following the
bath Rubbing vigorously with a
coarse towel will hasten the reaction
and improve the circulation. When

Importance of Ventilation.
The sleeping room should be well
ventilated. but the sleeper should be
protected from drafts. The TEN

only obstructs the nasal opening into
the throat, but interferes with the
proper growth Of the septum and
causes a deformity, deviation Of the
septum," which is not apparent ex-
ternally, but often seriously obstructs
the nasal passages in later life. This
adenoid tissue is very common. even
among healthy children. and tends to
shrink up and disappear when the
cavity of the throat rapidly enlarges
at the age of puberty, but the deform-
ed septum remains and can only be
Corrected by operation.
The folly Of allowing adenoids to re-
main until they atrophy and disappear
is quite apparent. Not only is the

The muco-purulent discharge froI

suits.
If the nose and throat have not bee
properly cared for in childhood an
