The department at Washington
has found in the course of a recent
investigation into the composition OF
the so-called obesity cures that a
large number, of these contain thy
roid. Thyroid, in the opinion of the
government scientists, is far too
dangerous a weapon for inexperi-
enced persons to experiment with.
The thyroid gland itself is one of the
mysteries of the human body that the
medical profession does not yet fully
understand. We know that it is es-
sential to life and that when used as
a drug it has a very powerful effect
upon the whole human system. This
information should be sufficient to
warn anyone against dosing himself
blindly with the drug.

Coffee Dull but Higher

There has been a contradictory condi-

dulness being the rule, with operators
apathetic and outsiders apparently for
getting that there was such a thing. Yet,
with the market dawding along In an
aimless fashion. there has been com
paratively steady, though small. advance
in prices, even spots sharing I'm the up
ward movement. This has been due more
TO a lack OF offerings than 10 any really
urgent demand, and traders are not dis
posed to be aggressive in either direc-
ton until the nature OF the new Brazilian
crop is more definitely established. The
fact that consumers have not been buy
ing is believed to indicate that a con-
siderable quantity OF the new crop will
be needed as soon as IL is available. but
there is also a strong opinion that Brazil
needs money and would be willing to sell
al reasonable figures. The Nordl'nger
circular OF May IS says
I'm accordance with latest reports re-
ceiyed the worlds production for 1M+15
is estimated at about $4,000 bags. while
consumption requires about 10000 bags.

than 100000 bags. for the first time

Manufacturers Will Con

How foreign trade Is to be obtained
for American manufacturers is to he dis
cussed at the nineteenth annual conven-

$500 foreign trade agents have been en-
ployed to report AS to the likelihood of
developing new markets and increasing
old ones during the coming year. Their
reports are being awaited by manufact-
urers before planning campaigns abroad.
Lack OF employment from the stand
point OF the man who does the employing
is also to be considered. Some of the
manufacturers said last night they ex-
pected to reach conclusions at variance
ers and labor leaders which discussed
the problem last winter.

ton hopes to plan comprehensive cam
