AMERICANS MAY NOT
 SHIP GRAIN TO EUROPE
England and Belgium Appeal to
 Have Contracts Lived Up To.

New York, Aug. 11.--Notwith- standing the appeal of Belgium and England for bread. American export CTS may ship no more to either coun- try for some time, as the result of lengthy meeting yesterday of the North American Grain Dealers as- sociation. A committee of five, to be appointed by the president of the as- sociation, was empowered to take such measures as may be necessary to protect the interests of shippers in. all matters affected by the present war"
 Ante-War Contracts.
 Whether shipments of grain should continue on contracts made before the war. was the subject of a vigorous protest by the Liverpool Corn Trade association, which had received reports that further ship ments on such contracts would not be made. Liverpool's representatives told the dealers that they had the assurance of bankers that exchange would be nearly normal within a week. If American dealers should re- fuse to ship grain, they said, they ! would be working against the com mon good. Nevertheless many of the American dealers felt that the unfore- seen conditions warranted the can- cellation of their contracts made pri- or to the beginning of hostilities.
 Abnormal Conditions.
 "Hostilities in Europe" reads the preamble to the resolution authoriz- ing the appointment of the commit- tee. besides creating wholly abnor- mai conditions which render general 2 ly impossible the preference by buy CTS of the obligation of pre-existing contracts for the shipment of grain to the countries at war and the ports of certain adjacent countries also effectualy prevent such shipments?'a
 Appeals From Belgium.
 Two urgent appeals by cable from the Belgian minister of war for the j American grain were transmitted at the association by the Belgian con- sul here. Tn the first despatch the Belgian secretary of war requested :, the consul to notify the dealers that. England assured safe passage of grain laden vessels across the Atlantic and that payments for wheat were guar anteed by the Belgian government. The second cable, more in1perativs< in it's tone. read in part:
 Do make energetic efforts to in- duce wheat exporters to execute con- tracts"
 Both cable despstehes were seat from Brussels yesterday. rrss
 John Bassett Moore. formerly coun~ selior to the state department and am authority on international law, was selected by the association as counsel to assist the committee. The asso- ciation will meet again next Wed nesday.

SAYS SULPHUR is SURE TO
RELIEVE ITCHING ECZEMA
Get an Ounce of BoId-Sulphur Cream
and Heal Skin Eruptions Right
Up

Any breaking out or irritation on
the face, arms, legs or body when ac-
companied by itching, or when the
skin is dry and feverish, can be read
lily overcome by applying little bold
sulphur cream, says noted dermat-
ologist.
He informs us that bOld-Sulphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and ir-
ritation and sOothes and heals the &C.
zema right up, leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occu-
pied secure position for many years
in the treatment of cutaneous diseases
because of it's parasite-destrOying
properties. Nothing has ever been
found to take it's place in treating the
irritable and inflammatOry skin affec-
tons. While not always establishing
a permanent cure, it never fails to sub
due the itching irritation and drive
the eczema away, and it is often years
later before any eruption again ap
pears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce of bOld-sulphul
cream which is applied to the affect
ed parts in the same manner as an or
binary cold cream. 1t isn't unpleas
ant and the prompt relief afforded,
particularly in itching eczema, proves
very welcome. (adv)

FIRE PROTECTION IN WISCONSIN

The new Wisconsin code aims to fix
broad standards of fire protection and
sanitation-not details of design or ar
rangement. Thus the code is less
than one-half as long as the New York
City code. On the engineering or
structural side little more is given
than tables of floor loads, bearing
value of soils, and allowable unit
stresses, all of which are made sub
stantially uniform with the new Mil
waukee ordinances. A rather unusual
provision is one permitting the speci-
fed floor loads to be reduced by TWEEN
ty pounds in fireproof buildings. The
reason for this discrimination are:
A fireproof floor suffers little or no de-
terioration; a fireproof floor is not
weakened by fire below; the greater
dead load of fireproof floor means
that any accidental overload is a
smaller proportion of the total dead
and live load.
The most detailed provisions are
those relating to stairways and fire
escapes. In apartment houses a COW
cred outside rear stairway is recon-
mended, which acts as service stair.
way and fire escape combined; and
where this is provided, no fire escape
is required. Engineering Record.

MILLIONS LOST IN FEEDING
CORN TO KENTUCKY HOGS

That one-third the corn fed to
hogs in Kentucky is wasted is the
opinion of Commissioner of Agricul-
ture J. w. Newman, who said he
would not be surprised if the waste
amounts to as much as 100000 an
nually. This is by way of preface to
a plan proposed for presenting the
economic side of stock raising at the
State Fair
Balanced Tations Will be the crux of
the demonstration planned under the
direction Of the Government farm de-
monstrator Of Jefferson county, who
has instructions to purchase twenty
swine at once to be placed on the Fair
grounds. Half of them will be fed on
corn and the other half on balanced
ratiOnS until the Fair opens; then the
farmers will be shown the difference
in the results obtained.
Corn alone produces fat. The
hogs should be fed corn mixed with
other ratiOns in proportions well de-
monstrated to be cs.rrect, which pro-
duce bone and muscle With the
growth of bone and muscle more fat
and weight can be added" said Com
LllOolOuOI 1NcW duu Willie Will
corn alone it costs 6 cents the pound
they can be fattened for 4 cents the
pound. We raise 60,000,0O0 bushels
of corn in Kentucky annually; it is
safe to say 100000 are fed to hogs.
If by feeding corn alone it costs 2
cents to the pound, or one-third, more
than to feed balanced rations for pro-
ducing weight, one can easily see
into what immense figures the annual
waste runs
A purse of $3.50 will be Offered boys
clubs, whose members will fatten
steers to be shown and judged at the
Fair. The prizes will be awarded the
winners, who must explain their meth
cd Of feeding, and the steers will be
sold in Louisville. A purse of 500
will be offered members of boys pig
clubs in the same way.
