FISH PRICES ARE SOARING.
Shortage in Supply, While There Is
a Heavy Demand.

A shortage in the supply, combined
with heavy demand, has caused big
increase in wholesale prices for fish at
the wharf market. the dealers state. and
until the easterly storm which has been
raging on the coast for the past week
let's up and the fishermen can work
their nets. high prices can be looked
for. Prices asked for fish yesterday and
today are higher, in most instances,
than they have been in many years, but
there Is satisfaction in knowing that
as soon as the receipts come to any
where near normal, high prices will
tumble fast
At the fish auctions this morning the
bidding was brisk. and fish sold at
about prices as follows:
Gray trout, $500 a barrel; founders.
$13 barrel; sea bass. SIS a barrel; but
terfish. s1s barrel; croakers. $13 a bar

been suggested that the spinners who
turn the cotton into yarn should go
ahead as far as possible in using the

transferring a portion of the burden

1t Is the opinion of experts that cot
ton cannot probably be produced for
less than ten cents pound-that cot
ton sold for less than ten cents repre-
sents a loss.
The whole effort therefore is to hold
over from this years crop a sufficient

price by the curtailment Of production.
Already farmers in some states are
being pledged to plant only 40 per cent

WHAT ABOUT SUGAR
FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

In the diet Of children sugar plays an
important part, although there are very
few mothers who have the right atti-
tude on the subject. Just because too
much sugar is a bad thing for chill
dren, many mothers have feeling that
sugar is a sort of poison-a poison
which, however, the mothers sometimes
allow their children to sample as re-
ward for virtue, on holidays or as an In
diligence as a mark of special kindness.
Christmas day or the day Of days
when the children go to the circus OF
picnic the indulgent parent apparently
thinks something like this:
Now, little Willie, you have been q
very good boy and have said your pray
ers and run errands and have not teased
the baby: so mother Is going to be es-
pecially considerate and let you take
some Of this nice poison. Mother knows
it will make you lose your appetite for
good bread and milk and will probably
make you feel very uncomfortable, but
mother is going to let you eat all you
want of it just to show you how much
she loves you."
AS a matter of fact scientists say
sugar is very good food for children
If 1t is properly eaten The trouble with
sugar it contains but with other harm
full ingredients. Another trouble 1s that
too much candy is eaten at a time and
that it is eaten at the wrong time-be-
tween meals.
The best candy for children consists
of little pure chocolate-milk choco-
late or sweet chocolate tablets-or pure
sugar, as in a lump of sugar or pure
rock candy or barley sugar. Only lit
tie of this should be eaten at time.
and preferably 1t should be eaten after
meals, so that it will not spoil the natu-
raj appetite for other things.
Sugar is so quickly assimilated that it
is decidedly valuable in cases Of ex-
treme fatigue. But children seldom need
1t in this respect. 1t is highly concen-
trated. Because 1t satisfies quickly 1t
destroys the appetite for other food
that Is depended on not only for nour-
ishment but for bulk.
There are several reasons why chill
dren should never acquire the taste for
sugar on their cereal or bread and milk.
Chief among these reasons is that in this
way they lose their taste for the pure.
unsweetened food and rely on the taste
Of the sugar to make things appetizing.
Another reason is that sugar in COM
bination with many foods ferments and
produces an acid that is decidedly up
setting to q child.
