TELLS RIGHT WAY ToICoUGH
Physicians Directions Would Certain

sance to Companions.

The following directions as to how
to cough are given by physician in
khe Journal of the Outdoor Life:
Fold your handkerchief so that 1t is
about five inches square. Place it fiat
in the right hand, if you are right
banded, and with this hand hold It
tightly over the mouth. Press the
hand on the mouth. as to hold It
loosely over the mouth will not ac-
eomplish the purpose Now instead OF
coughing and trying to mnffie the
sound in your throat or mouth. mufie
It with your handkerchief. Practice
Il until a person ten feet away can
not hear you.
The sound made In coughing is due
partly to air passing over the vocal
cords, partly to air goirs through the
bronchial tubes and trscnea, and part
~ to the resonance produced in the
chambers above the trachea This
sound can be almost wholly avoided
and the irritation to the lungs and air
passages prevented by keeping'th air
passages open and letting your hand
kerchief do the mufiing. Now instead
Of expelling 12O cubic inches Of air at
each expiration, you will expel
smaller amount. with more comfort to
yourself and to those around you and
with much less harm TO your lungs"

Chicago, June s. S.-Well founded pre-
dictions that the government crop re-
port would be of a bullish character
had much to do today with rise
which took place in the value Of wheat.
The market closed firm at lac to 3-4c
net advance, with July at $1.05 S-S to
$1.05 ~. and September $105 9-4 to
$l.O5 rs. Corn gained 7-Sc and lie;
oats finished unchanged to 1Sc higher
and provisions up 10c to 45c.
Although the government estimate
of the spring crop yield Of wheat was
100000 bushels larger than private
experts had supposed, the official fig
ures on the winter crop were at least
25, 100000 bushels under what was ex-
pected by a majority Of traders. On
the whole, the Washington report turn
