President Pope, of the cotton Growers asso-
citation, is advocating a sweeping reduction OF
the cotton acreage this year.
There is large, though not unwieldy. surplus
of cotton on hand at present due to the British
orders in council. The disposition OF cotton
growers has always been to oyer-piant when the
price OF cotton is going up and, unless the coun'
sci of President Pope prevails, this year will
prove exception.
marked reduction of acreage for 1916 will
force the price up 10 a good figure and the
farmers will all make good money. Another
bumper crop of cotton in the United States
might bring about another slump in prices and
more decentralization of the cotton market.
Besides there are other staples that might
be grown to advantage turnedout cotton
lands this year.
Play safe.

az THE PHYSICIAN

I am pleased to see the interest

affairs Of the people and your good
advice is certainly timely and TO the
point
There is nothing more discourag-
ing to the physician than to see peo-
ple disregard the simplest and most
important rules Of hygiene and
health.
Fresh air, sunshine and whole
some exercise are essential in main
tanning a standard OF vitality that
will prevent and aid In overcoming
an infection.
II has long been known that in
dulgence in alcoholics predisposes

cially TO pneumonia. and II Is well
for the public to be aware OF this
fact.
II has been conclusively demon.
strated, however. that certain types
OF pneumonia germs are sufficiently
virulent to attack people who are
in apparent good health. and II has
been found that the present cpl
demic is due 10 the prevalence OF
one or more OF these virulent types
OF pneumonia germs.
when anyone has once become a
victim Of such an infection, the most
essential consideration Is for him to
get we'll as soon as possible.

much towards this end by means OF

by what kind and quantity of stun

attaches TO the figures, which have

total $271 .002.s 1871. as compared with
s279 .227 1888 In 1914. and s273.550. .5ss

these statistics show a remarkable
uniformity when the difference In

there has been surprising drop in
manufactured goods, and a corre-
spending increase In crude mater

marked declines. Those from Lon
