FRUIT PRICES WILL
DEPEND UPON YIELD
NOT ON EMBARGO
Salem Fruit Union DispOses Of
Surplus Crop Of Beans
with Satisfaction

Beans are neither fresh or dried fruit
yet Manager Robert Paulus of the Sa-
lem Fruit Union, handled several tons
of this stable product this season with
good results for the growers who hap
pened to be members of the union. The
price secured for the beans was from
$50 to $25 ton higher than that pai6
in the local markets here and they
were handled after the local market
had been supplied and beans were more
or less of drug Manager Paulus said
that he could have sold several tons
more had the growers been able to sup
ply him.
The fresh and dried fruit pools are
being signed up now and the members
ofs the fruit union are daily adding to
the size of the pools of. dried prunes
dried lOganberries and the fresh fruit
pools of Strawberries, gooseberries,
cherries, loganberries, pears and apples
1t is stated that there are several deal,
pending for the sale of large sized
blocks of fresh fruit and that the mar
ket outlook at this early stage is fa
vorable.
The English embargo on American
fruits will probably affect the price tC
a slight extent but the fruit men are
not disposed to take sudden alarm at
the prospect at this early date. 1t i.
true that about one-third of the pear
crop and about 20 per cent of the dried
prune crop of this country is shipped tC
England and if the embargo prevents
the shipping of the usual amount that
this added quantity will tend to force
down the price in America. However
If the yield is one-third short there VII
be no added surplus to be disposed OF
at loss and American fruit grower,
are told to wait until the percentage OF
a full yield is reported before accepting
any reduced prices for their products
The English embargo on American
fruits was put on in order that all avai
able ships might be used for carrying
ammunition and the English figure that
dried fruits are a luxury now and not
nearly so necessary as bullets.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out, just
try incide bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it as a
harmless means of washing from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases and acidity and
gives one a splendid APPETITE for break
fast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone phOs-
phate act ON the blood and internal or
gans. Those who are subject to con
stipation,> bilious attacks, acid stOm-
ach, rheumatic twinges, also those
whose skin is sallow and complexion
pallid, are assured that one week OF
inside,bathing will have them both
looking and feeling better in every
