 10 to 16 Points Higher

New York, March 3-Cotton show ed renewed frmness today and closed steady at net advance of l3 to 15 points.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yester- days American gains, but after open ing to 3 points higher, prices here quickly sold some to II points above last nights closing figures on a re- newal of yesterdays buying move ment.
 This advance carried the market some 30 to 35 points above the low level of yesterday and attracted con siderable realizing, while there was also heavy selling here for Liverpool account.
 Prices reacted several points in con- sequence, but the selling tapered off after the close of the English market. and the market firmed up again, reach ing the best point of the day in the late trading, when active months sold 10 to 16 points net higher.
 Houses with New Orleans and other Southern connection were consider able buyers here, while there were also q good deal of covering or rebuy- ing by old longs.
 Buyers seemed to find very few con tracts offering on the afternoon ad- vance, owing to the continued absence of hedge selling, but notwithstanding the firm showing of the market the talk around the floor reflected very nervous feeling with reference to the export situation, and there were ru- mors that some cotton shippers were trying to riet ocean freight room.

ADJOURN SINE DIE
 WEEK FROM TODAY
About 750 Bills Introduced in Both HOuses-MajOrity Local Bills Little Probability of any
 General Legislation.

Little Rock, March 4.-The Legis- lature will adjocn sine die at one week from today noon. There have houses, the greater majority of which houses, theg reater majority of which are of a local nature. There is very little prospect at this time of any gen eral legislation aside from the appro- priation bills which will occupy the greater part of the time from now un- til adjournment. Up to the present time nothing whatever has been done toward providing for a solution of the financial problems confronting the State. The only bill that has been of fered looking to even temporary so- luton is the bill by Representative Griffin of Little Rock for million dollar loan to take up the deficit in the treasury and to put the State on cash basis. But this has been re- ceived with disfavor by many and the possibility of it's passage is extremely remote. The only relief apparent to members of the General Assembly seems to be to apply the battle-aX lib- erally to every appropriation that comes up.

Infant Waste.

Infant Waste is one of. the live pro.
blems Of the age. What aveilet large
families If death is allowed to deci-
mate them before their members pass
the limit of childhood. There are born in
America two.and-a halt million babies
each year. OF this number five hun
dred thousand never see one day of
life and three hundred thousand of
these deaths r due to gastro-intes-
final disease. In other words to one
~preventable cause. According to the
best figures that are available, North
Dakota is probably slightly better than
the general average, but not enough
to make it "point with pride" to it's
record. Summer morbidity among
infants is due in great part to improp-
Or feeding and we're it not for increas-
ing resistance during the second and
third years of life the death rate would
be much higher than it is during that
trying period. But in addition to the
actual deaths there are sown seeds of
disease that grow, blossom and bear
fruit in after years. The preparation
OF soil by improper feeding, lowering
the resistance of the body, leaves it a
prey to t%ubercular and other infections.
1t is now generally admitted by our
best authorities that most tuberculous
individuals receive their infection in
infancy or childhood and since six to
seven per cent of the samples of the
average market milk contains bovine
tubercle bacilli it is easy to see how
infections may take place when the Or
ganism is impaired by proper food or
from conditions caused directly there
oy. Ii we are to lower the death rate
from consumption we must cut off the
supply and to do so we must begin
with the child. In this connection the
recommendations OF DR.. Kober at the
National Meeting are very much to
the point:
I'm view of the fact that the physical
vlgor OF a nation depends upon the
environment of childhood and youth,
u Is Important that the hygiene of the
nome, school, playground, ect., be not
neglected and that we lend a helping
hand in public health activities, since
