Symptoms of Disease.

Red eyes. "stuffy" noss, flushed face. tickling cough, 8 sore, hot throat-these are the early signs of scarlet fever, of pneumonia. of bron- chitis, of typhus, of smallpox, of measles. and often of diphtheria. So that all that smiles is not cold by any means.

Utilizing the face mask as means of beautifying the complexion has been in vogue for many years. Henry III of France was vain enough to affect it in order to keep his skin fair. The face mask, again, was a part of the beauty treatment that Marguerite de Valois followed, and the celebrated Roman Empress Poppaea was another of it's votaries. It was smeared inside with beauty-giving cream and worn at night. Not every woman, however, cares to sleep in a mask.

Deaths From Cancer.

There is absolutely no reason why we should not face the cancer mys- tery without either apprehension or panic. Cancer is a serious disease, but even at it's most modern worst it ranks only seventh among the causes of death, claiming about as many victims as summer diarrhea of children at one end of the life scale and apoplexy at the other. And there is r5 valid evidence that it is increas- ing.

The sesslon of superior court this week has brought a large number of people to town. Be- sides the regular panel of jurors, witnesses in various cases are present and all must remain until excused by the court, or until the session is finished. This is likely to be prolonged un- til next week, as it will hardly be possible to dispose of all the cases this week. Hotels and restaurants are doing a good business, and the merchants are also enjoying an increased trade. The night sessions of court, how ever, have interferred somewhat with the business of the moving picture theaters.

U. S. COTTON PLANTERS
DO NOT FAVOR POOL
Unofficial Plan Suggested in England
Liable to Hurt Prices.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Informal pro-
posals that British interests form gi-
gantic cotton pool to buy Americas
cotton supply are not altogether salts
factory to American cotton growers, it
was learned today.
Southern Senators and Representatives
declared the price and not the purchaser
is the vital point.
Fears were expressed that an English
pool would not pay enough, even II 1t
bought the bulk of the American product.
State Department officials said such an
arrangement would have to be directly
between the private interests involved.
The Department was willing however,
to assist in any negotiations.
The British proposal is that the Gov
ernment set aside $40, 900, 900 to buy Amer
lean cotton which. in peace times would
ordinarily have gone to Englands en-
emies and neutrals. after which the Brit
ish would put cotton on her contraband
list 1t was not official, however
