Water at Meals.

There is a very popular fallacy
abroad-namely, that a person should
never drink water with his meals.
There is one and only one danger in
this. That is the temptation to wash
down half masticated food with water.
There is one distinct advantage in the
digestion of food when water is taken
with the meals. As food is swallowed
1t goes TO the stomach In a lump about
the consistency Of bread dressing.
One can see that 1t requires a great
length Of time for the digestive juices
to penetrate the mass and come I'm
contact with the food particles. IL the
food is diluted with water the diges-
tive juices can easily have access to 1t.
In this and In other ways water keeps
the digestive tract clean. II people
drank enough water there would be no
operations for ppendicitis.-kansas

COPPER PR REDUCTION
STATEMENT

Copper Producers statement for
August shows a decrease in stocks on
hand OF S.579,047 pounds compared
with the previous month. Total de-
liveris we're 149, 207, 56S. pounds, as
compared to "131.215.712 pounds in
July. a gain of 17,991,S56 pounds
over the previous moth. Both foreign
and domestic deliveries were in
creased. The foreign increase was
10.363.S19 pounds and the domestic
gain was 1880 pounds. The
production during August was s.
1892 pounds greater than July.
The comparative tables for the two
months were as follows:
Copper stocks September /. 46.-
701,374 pounds; August /, 50,2S0,-
421 pounds. Production in August
145.62S,521 pounds: in July 49,
161,129 pounds. Domestic deliveries
in September, 7~s,s22,41s pounds;
July. 71.094,3S1. Foreign deliveries
in September, 7~0.4S5,150 pounds;
July, s0,211,331 pounds. Total de-
liveris in September. 49,207, SIS
pounds, July, 131,215,712 pounds.
In some quarters a much largef
decrease has been expected. 1t was
forecast that there would be a re-
duction of 100000 900 pounds or
more in the visible stock. and for A
time after the statement was releas-
ed there were fractional reactions il
copper shares. This did not last
long. as a study of the report shows
that an increase of close to 5000
900 pounds was made in the produc-
ton gives an entirely different view
to the situation.
Demand for the metal promises to
continue strong, and In face OF the
Increased production from every
section of the country much higher
prices are predicted. Producers are
pleased with the present price aid
will use every effort to prevent an
advance. The output from the cop.
per mines of the country today is the
greatest in history.

REPORT LOOKS
GOOD

Commenting on the government
crop report, issued this week, Thomas
c. Shotwell. the financial authority
and writer of New York, says that
the record-breaking crop of this year
speaks volumes for the prosperity
that will be evidenced by the United
States the coming year. He sums up
the situation as follows:
Never before in the history of the
United States has the aggregate of
all crops been so large as the esti-
mate just published by the govern
ment. The value of the crops will
be at least a billion dollars greater
than last year and the tonnage will
be so much greater that railroads
are assured of prosperity regardless
Of possible rate advances. One OF
the most conservative financial au-
thorities in Europe said recently that
the crop situation in Europe as a
whole was poorer this year than it
had been for thirty years.
These facts create a stock market
situation extremely bullish from both
an investment and speculative stand
point.
Further making for higher prices of
stocks is the condition of the metal
trades. The railroads are ordering
equipment at such a rate that steel
mills are working to their limit. The
congestion of freight that will be in
evidence before long will hurt the
public more than it will hurt the
railroads, and because of hat there
will not be SO much opposition to a
reasonable advance Oh freight rates
to enable the roads to buy more
equipment. Thus the steel mills will
get additional business on top of the
immense total already in sight.
The copper trade is naturally in
a strong position because of the re-
duced ost of electrical machinery
and the wholesale electriication of
all kinds of manufacturing plants as
the result. The Copper Producers
association figures, published show
that although production for the
month of August was the greatest in
the history of copper mining, amount
ing to 145,62S.521 pounds, the con-
sumption vas such that the stocks
OF metal on hand were reduced B.
579,057 pounds compared with the
previous month. 1t must also he re-
membered that the surplus includes
all copper on hand in the warehouses
of original producers, whether sold
or not.
In the presence of such overwheim-
ing reasons for buying all good
stocks, 1t is idle to pick out indi-
vidual securities. Companies using
gain will naturally find their cost
charges reduced, but the prosperity
will be extended to all branches of
trade, so that practically every legiti-
mate business in the country will be
quiekened. To date the only notable
movements on the exchange were on
the Harvesters and Sears-Roebuck.
the reasons in both cases being so
.v,dcnt as to need no comment.
