economic fields. Their aim is to edu-
cate and interest women all over the
country until they insist that the
American doctors make careful study
of the Twilight Sleep methods and
adopt them in maternity cases when
ever possible.
Recoveries are Speedy
1t is generally acknowledged that
fear has a decidedly injurious effect
upon the physical condition. 1t is the
total absence of dread or fear before
hand and the inability of the patient
to relive or remember any unpleasant
ness after awakening from the Twi-
light Sleep which is said to account
for the quick recoveries which are
claimed for it.
The opinions are as varied among
the women members of the medical
profession in Harrisburg as among
their masculine associates. Dr. Maud
EXley emphatically states that she
has formed no opinion as yet one way
or the other upon the subject of the
, Freiburg method of the morphine
scopolamin treatment. DR.. Louise
Taylor fears the effect of the drugs
upon the more delicate organism of the
child but approves of the method in
extreme cases. Yet to hide behind an
anaesthetic when unnecessary and
merely to escape pain she considers
the act of coward.
1t is interesting to note the position
the physicians take with regard to the
financial side of the Twilight Sleep
question. The expert care and SUI
pervision required naturally send their
rates soaring upward.

The telephone rang lnSlstentiy.
Nora stuck her head into the living
room. Helen didn't seem to be there.
so Nora ran to the telephone in the
hall and took down the receiver.
"Hello. Yes, Mr.. Curtis No. Mrs.
Curtis is out. 1 guess she'll be in
pretty soon," were her answers TO
Warren.
Tell Mrs. Curtis" Warren's voice
said over the wire, that I've lust
been given four tickets for the opera

Mrs. Stevens, or any one else, and
meet me at the opera at eight. Do

Yes. sir" Nora said.

You understand? The opera at eight.
"Yes, sir" the maid repeated. Il IL

Nora hung up the receiver and walk

through the living room she stopped
to straighten out some books and

Back in the kitchen she started to
prepare the vegetables for dinner.
She looked up at the kitchen clock.
1t was ten minutes past 4. Nora
wished Helen would come in. 1t
worked around to half-past four.
Still no Helen. Warren's clothes had
TO be sent, Nora thought. She went
INTO the bedroom, took suitcase from
the closet. and then took Warren 5
clothes out. She put them carefully
on the bed. looked them over. saw
that she had everything, and finally
packed them. The next thing was to
get a messenger and send them down.
This she proceeded to do. That off
her hands. Nora went back TO her
work. A few minutes later click in
the hall door lock warned her of
Helen's return. She met her and gave
her Warren's message.
Helen's face lighted up with antici-
patton. Why, how splendid she
cried. I've been to the opera once
this year, and I've been dying TO so

Nora brought it to her.
"Oh, it's Carmen, she said.

This idea became so interviewer with

HOLDING TIGHT
WHILE FLEECY
STAPLE SCARS
SOME FARMERS AND MERCHANTS
IN GOOD FIX.

Some Americus supply merchants
and not a few long headed farmers of
this immediate section are viewing
with feelings of intense satisfaction the
steady advance in cotton values. For
they have the goodly bales, and will
turn them loose when ''the price gets
right" which will be around IL IL
cents ere Santa Claus comes. OF this
they feel sure, and are merely mot
rocking the boat"
Two weeks ago the price of cotton
in Americus was at 8 cents and not a
few farmers, thinking the price just
fair, sold a portion of their holdings.
Last week the price advanced to Q
cents, and others sold Yesterday the
price touched 10 cents, but holders
seemed in no hurry to hunt up the
buyers.
That the price will continue to ad-
vance is the firm opinion OF many
here in the cotton trade.
This advance will have the effect o.
bringing to sale the surplus of last
years crop carried over, and of this
old crop Americus warehouses held
probably 5000 bales at the opening
of the new season. Besides the sur
plus stuff carried in the warehouses,
many farmers of Sumter had cotton
stored under sheds at home This cot
ton is now being marketed.
The phenomenally short crop in
Sumter this year will not be halfway
made up by the surplus bales carried
over. Prices should advance a great
deal more right now
Sumter's normal crop is 10000 bales.
The crop this season will fall under
$4,000 bales. Add to this number the
5000 bales carried over from last
season and the total in sight is only
10000 bales, or fully 10000 bales short
of normal yield. This being true
spot cotton should readily bring II 1-2
cents, and it will do this within ninety
days, in the opinion of well-posted
cotton dealers.
One far-sighted Americus man who
carried over 1900 bales from last sea-
son, has, it is said, added 600 bales Of
the new crop thereto, and will make
killing" when he gets ready to sell.
He believed cotton was worth good
price and has backed his faith by
swinging with bulldog tenacity to his
bales.
