East Usino Western Products.

, Americans who have been Influenced
by the Orient to the extent Of taking
their tea clear, without milk or sugar,
are now learning that the Occident is
bent on teaching the Chinese to use
milk with their decoction Of tea leaves
and condensed milk at that. An en-
terprising condensed milk company is
pushing the campaign, and expects to
be successful. This concern has al
ready introduced condensed milk ice
cream TO the Chinese and they like it
so well that many of the restaurants
keep it always on hand. Practically
no fresh milk is to be had in China, al
though the natives seem familiar
though with the virtues Of both the
fresh and the condensed article
Canned salmon is another Western
staple that has made a decided i'm
preston on the far East.

Fear of Poverty.

We have grown literally afraid to
be poor. We despise anyone who
elects to be poor in order to simplify
and save his inner life. We have
lost the power Of even imagining
what the ancient idealization of pow
erty could have meant; the liberation
from material attachments, the un-
bribed soul, the manlier indifference,
the paying our way by what we are or
do, and not by what we have, the
right to fling away our life at any mo-
ment irresponsibly-the more athletic
trim, in short, the moral fighting shape.
i. 1t is certain that the prevalent
fear OF poverty among the educated
classes is the worst moral disease
from which our civilization SUFFERS

EFFECT OF CLIMATE ON WORK
Observation Has Shown That IL Has
Much Influence on Ones
Capacity.

In Connecticut the effect of changes
of temperature from day to day is about
half as great as the effect of the
changes from season to season. If the
temperature remains unchanged peo-
pie work slowly. II II rises they may
be stimulated a little. If 1t falls, on
the other hand, provided the fall is not
excessive, there is a decided stimulus.
The effect Of constant changes of
weather may be compared to that pro-
duced upon a horse by good driver.
If the animal Is allowed to go his own
gait, with no stimulus whatever he
will travel fast at first and then settle
down to a slow pace which will pro-
tract a journey indefinitely. If he Is
constantly urged to his topmost speed
he may make the first journey quickly,
but he will soon break down. The
wise driver urges him for a short time
and then lets him go more slowly. BY
constantly repeating this process he
gets good speed from his animal, and
yet prevents him from becoming ex-
hausted. This is what constant
changes of temperature seem to do to
man. Therefore, In reckoning the value
Of any climate from the point of view
of efficiency, storms must be rated as
Of high value. If they alone were the
controlling element southern Canada,
from Alberta eastward, would possess
the best climate in the world, while the
northern United States, from the Da-
kotas and Nebraska eastward, the
northwestern part of Europe, northern
Italy and Japan would come next. Eng
land, 1t will be noticed, is the only
country included both in the regions
just mentioned and in those where the
mean temperature of the seasons ap-
proaches the ideal.-Harper's Maya

MARKET ADVANCES DESPITE HUGE CROP
Production of 16,645,272
 Bales of Cotton Announced In Bulletin

New Orleans, March 2l.-The chief news feature of the week in the cotton market was the final census bureau report Of the season on ginning. It fell flat as a bearish influence, although 1t was larger than even the bears expected. Counting linters and all, the production was 16, 645- PIP bales. Only a few bears expected such a crop.
 After the figures were issued on the last session of the week, the market actually advanced. Gossip of the ring said that western speculators were coming into the market again.
 In the early part of the week the mar. ket felt pronounced buying wave, which
 had it's inception in Liverpool. On this
 the trading months went 21 to z5 points
 over last weeks close. Profit taking
 pared down the advance Friday, but ths close was at net gain of r to 22 points There have been few occasions this sea. son, except at the start when cottor traders were faced by so many dncertain | ties as now and trading this week prob | ably will reflect this state of affairs. The 1 shipping situation still Is the big stum l bling block and undoubtedly 1t is affecting export business for deliveries months ahead.
 l Bulls do not feel as certain over tht new crop outlook as they did. Recently 1 they were convinced that the south would | not plant more than 75 per cent as mucf cotton as 1t planted last season, but tht | recent rapid rise of prices has caused bears to predict that farmers will plan more cotton and less grain than they have 1 intended.

STEEL MILLS WORK AT GOOD AVERAGE Steel Corporation Produc- ing 70 Per Cent of
 Capacity

New York, March H.-The steel plant operations since March l have averaged between 65 and 70 per cent of total ingot capacity, During the past three w.sL- the United States Steel corporation has produced fngots at the rate of s5h to 69h per cent of full capacity.
 The main feature of interest continues to be the placing of large export contracts which have aggregated nearly 100000 tons thus far this month, largely for shrap- nel, wire, wire products and rails. Half of this tonnage was placed for shipment to Great Britain, France and Russia Ad- ditional miscellaneous orders were also placed for export to Italy and Japan Foreign orders for automobiles resulted in more buying of accessory parts by do- mezIic manufacturers.
 Domestic railroads placed orders for 25,- 900 tons of rails, including $500 tons for the Maine Central, 5000 tons for the Bur lingtcn. 2300 tons for the virginian rail- road and 24O0 tons for the New York Mu- nicipal Railways corporation. Foreign rail orders aggregated 6000O tons for Rus sia and France. The Baltimore and Ohio bought 500 steel car underframes, the Prudential Oil company ordered 200 tank cars and the Pennsylvania railroad sched- ulei 100 flat cars at the Altoona shops. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad ordered 40 locomotives.
 The Irincipal structural contract was 1b,00o tons steel for the Chesapeake and Ohio Northern railroad bridge over the Ohio river at Sciotoville. Aside from this the fabricat;ng shops secured orders call ing for 1000 tons of steel shapes.
 The American Steel and Wire company put into force another advance of 2 per ton on galvanized wire products extras. Competition for black sheet and plate or ders was keener and prices suffered.

CAUTIOUS SPIRIT RULES THE MARKET Unexplained Gains of Large Dimensions In Stock
 Market

New York. March 21-Aside from fur trer unexplained gains of large dimen- sions in certain specialties such as Beth- lehepi Steel and the automobile issuuz. u sririt of caution 4ruled the dealings in stocks throughout the past week. Crow ing expectancy of early important events in the theatre of war played large part in this feeling. Spring weather is expected to bring increased military activ- ity and 1taly's decision Is watched eag- erly.
 Recent large additions to new security issues and the accompanying expansion of bank loans impose limits on invest ment demand. The call upon our credits from the outside world meantime becomes fairly clsimcrous. Cash payment is thus sought to be deferred for the flood of war material, which piled up an export bail ance for the second week of March es- tin,ated at s50,OOO,000. far exceeding any previous recoid Rqmors are thick of borrowings by European and South American nations in New York Credit facilities remain abundant, thanks to reduced reserve requirements and pro- vision for rediscounting under the fed eral reserve law and the sluggish domes- tic borrowing due to trade depression. Possible revival of domestic. borrowing must be calculated, with allowance for the unwillingness of the belligerents to release gold in payment of their debts and their resort instead to fresh liquida- ton of American security holdings. Lon don's reduction of minimum prices of American stocks to the level of the New York exchange has as yet induced no fresh selling for foreign account The interdiction of the allies on German com merce is not expected to change present conditions materially. but the risk of embarrassing diplomatic incidents is not ignored
 New steel buying is lighter, but the price of refined copper went higher with in- creased domestic and foreign demand. There was lull in the western tonnage movement and general complaint of pow erty from the railroad world. Mainten- ance of Reading and Lehigh Valley divi- dends did not prevent declines, especially in the first named. Good winter wheat promise was cheering factor.
 First steps taken by the new federal trade commission were studied with att tention in the financial and business worlds.

It is a fact that there is a loss of ap proximately s75o.oOO every year in Alabama in eggs alone. In the matter of eggs i is not primarily due to improper packing that there is so large loss, but to ths fact that the farmers have not yet fully realized the vast significance of the in diistry. They leave to the women and children the work of caring for the hens of feeding, of housing and of gathering the eggs.
 And, too. they leave in a large meas use the business of packing the eggs to the womenfolk. This is no slur di- rected toward the good women of Ala bama. but is intended to show that caring for he poultry is essentially a mans work. The women have enough to do in Keeping affairs inside the house in order.
 In the Birmingham market eggs are re- ceived from Alabama farmers in more CT less stale condition, seldom packed neatly and rarely clean.
 If the farmers of Alabama would take the trouble to spend little time in cleaning the eggs he has for market sperd q little money in purchasing car tons. holding one dozen eggs each, and then take the matter direct to the whole saler, he would find it a very profitable venture Consumers are willing to pay 8 few cents more per dozen to get eggs that can be guaranteed strictly fresh, and egss that are good to look upon.
 In this connection, the recently ad- journed legislature abolished the office oif al iTp to the department of agriculture the duties of that office and creating the bu- reau of Immigration and markets. It is the intention of this bureau to start a propaganda to teach the farmer the prop CT method Of marketing his wares.
 Bulletins will be sent broadcast through the state showing how best to prepare produce for market, and telling where the best market may be found. Birming- ham will have more prominent mention in these bulletins as to market places than. perhaps, any other city in the state.
 A provision of the act requires all wholesale and commission merchants who deal with the farmer direct to pay fee to the state for this privilege and to make bond in the sum of $1O0o to the com missioner of agriculture, as a guaranty of their h. nest intentions in regard te the farmers with whom they deal.
 The advantages of this is pointed ou by Emmet A. Jones, chief of the bureat of markets and immigration, who says i vii. be the purpose of his bureau to dt three things, namely:
 1. It will bring the producers and thu mcrchs nts closer together, and thus de crease the great difference which nov exists between the price general to thu producers and the price general to thu consumers.
 2. The farmer will be furnished with in formation in regard to where to find ; market for his products, many of whicl now go to waste for lack of this knowl edge
