tons nevertheless The crop to date is
moving slightly ahead OF last season.
Weather conditions were improved over
,ha previous day. but this phase Of the
situation Is growing less important. as the
l4rger part of the crop is picked.
During the forenoon session considerable
PRESSURE was in evidence from Wall Street
sources influenced by Cordills favorable
report on oklahoma and Arkansas. Trad

issue n very bearish crop estimate early
next week. Judging by the tenor of his
recent reports from the southwest and
his earlier optimistic view of the Eastern
situation. A reliable South Carolina spot
arm estimated the yield at 1920. .00a

Food and Its Flavor.

In a plea for better food in America
really pure food, better cooked--the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation calls on doctors and nurses to
make the subject "of serious national
import" I'VE cook food for at least
four reasons" says the Journal. ito
sterilize 1t, to make it nutritious, to
render it more easily digestible and to
improve or vary its flavor. The last
of these is at least as important as any
of the others. When the gustatory
nerves Jingle in response to the slim.
illus of some rare continent or arc
ma the saliva flows in joyous excite
ment, and the digestive juices, by
whose benign influences food is trans
formed into nourishment respond in
salutary and fullest measure. The sim.
pie and pleasant way to bring this
about is to pay proper attention to the
favor of food"
