GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, August t1.-Sensational breaks
in prices of corn for immediate delivery
almost monopolized attention today in
the grain trade. The fall in cash values
of corn amounted in some cases to 27c
a bushel. as compared with "a hours be-
fore. No other reason for the setback
was apparent except the fact that the
distillers were at least temporarily out of
the market altogether. Future deliveries
of corn closed nervous at the same as
yesterdays finish to %c lower, with De-
cember s1.14%@114% and May $1.121s@
1.12A. Wheat closed Sc down, but steady
at S2.15 for September, and oats off Ad12c.
Provisions showed advances of 15c to
30c.
Signs multiplied from the outset that
distillers had acquired all the corn that
could be utilized in the brief period re-
naming for whisky manufacture I'M
changed by the new food control bill.
With the competition from distllers thus
eliminated, other industries were not dis
posed to pay recent high premiums.
Moreover, it was said that many small
industries were closing down entirely
until supplies of corn could be obtained
on a more reasonable basis as measured
by quotations on new crop months, which
at the lowest point today were yet about
Toe bushel under spot prices.
Shorts in corn futures here took profits
on quite a liberal scale, One Of the chief
motives for doing so was a possibility
that some of the grain loaded at the sea-
board for neutral countries and still held
on this side would be offered for resale.
Bearish sentiment regarding wheat be-
~came more pronounced in view of an as
sumed unlikelihood of any sustained ad-
vance in prices now that the market had
been subordinated to the official govern
ment food control.
Predictions of an enlargement of the
federal estimate of the oats crop tended
to ease the oats market
New record breaking upturns in hog
prices were duplicated by provisions.
Packers bought freely.
Future quotations were as follows.

How Fighters win Be Fed

Uncle Sam has written generous
menus for his fighting men on land
and on sea and If the regulations
which he has prescribed are followed
hungry. He provides approximately
% cents day to buy food for each
one of his soldiers and like allow
ance is made for his sailors. To the
housekeeper who has to contend with
wartime prices Of foodstuffs, this
sum seems entirely inadequate, but 1t
must be remembered that Uncle Sam
buys his supplies in ton lots and not
by the pound.
The fixed allowance or portion Of
food furnished soldier or sailor each
day is called ration. 1t consists Of
specified components or substitute ar
ticles. There may be an overissue of
any ration component provided there
is an underissue or equal value of 9TH
err components: but the total cost Of q
mans rations at the end of a month
must not exceed the average of the
daily allowances for that period.
In garrison or permanent camp, a
soldiers allowance of food consists o.
the following components and quanti-
ties, or specified quantities of SUBJ
stitutes: Beef, 20 o.; flour, IS o.;
baking powder, .08 o.; beans, "a e..
potatoes 20 o.; prunes. 1928 or; coffee
1.12 o.; sugar, SO or; evaporated milk
A o.; vinegar. lie gill; halt. "a on.
black peppeE, .o4 o.; cinnamon, Ol4
o.; lard. "a o.; butter. .b or: strip
.32 gill; and flavoring extract, OLA OF
A number Of substitute articles are
provided for each Of the ration COM
ponents For instance, instead of the &C
ounces of beef, like quantity OF
mutton may be supplied or IL ounces
of bacon. 16 of canned meat. ii OF
dried fish or other meat substitutes
Instead of the bean component, 116
ounces OF either rice or hominy may
be supplied. Prescribed quantities OF
dried apples or peaches or of jam aud
preserves may be substituted for the
prunes. The reserve ration is less
varied

FURTHER BREAK
IN COTTON MARKET
Closing Prices Within 3 or 4
Points of Lowest of
Session

New York. August 11.--There was
further break in the cotton mar
ket today. The more optimistic view
of new crop prospects seemed respon-
sible for active general selling, UNI
der which October declined to 24.97c
and January to 2475c. making losses
of III TO lis points as compared with
the high level of last Thursday and
break of SIS to So points from last
nights final figures. Closing prices
were within or points of the low
of 40 to 81 points on the general
list.
The opening was irregular. There
were a few buying orders around the
ring for August and September. which
are inactive months considered subject
to the old crop spot situation. Au-
gust opened 40 and September rs
points higher. but later deliveries
started at decline of / to points
owing to the favorable weather map
and the bearish average of crop re-
ports. Liverpool was an active seller.
There was also selling by houses with
New Orleans connections and heavy
liquidation through brokers who
sometimes operates for western inter-
ests. Stop orders were quickly uncov-
cred and after their execution trad
ing became less active. while there
were occasional slight rallies on COW
ering for over Sunday Each bulge.
however, met increased offerings and
the lowest levels were reached In the
late trading when the moro active
months showed net losses of So to SO
points. Weekly reviews of the crops
progress were all favorable and pri-
vate reports of showers in Texas were
followed by an official forecast for
unsettled or partly cloudy weather
with probable showers over Sunday.

A By-Product of War

What England has been doing since

bies is the subject Of an article By

or creches, Miss Judson says:
THE mothers bring the children to
the creche before they go to work IL
the morning. This is usually about 8
O'clock They call for them again at
o'clock at night. l was surprised tnat
some of the youngest babies three
and four weeks old could be taken
away from their mothers, but investi-
cation proved that most of them We're
thriving.
"These young babies are not weaned
entirely from their natural nourish-
ment They are fed every two hours UP
to the age of two months. Fresh cows
milk, boiled so that all danger from
germs is eliminated, and diluted with
barley water. is the food given to the
normal children.
1.-THE older children are given three
nourishing meals a day at the nursery.
In this way sufficient nourishment Is
assured even II. they do not have any
addition to their diet at home.
1.-THE children are bathed upon their
arrival In the morning and are given
fresh, clean clothing-not unifor N,
but simple, hygienic garments. They
are dressed again in their own clothes
before being sent home at night Two
paid trained nurses. four volunteer as
sistants. a paid matron and doctor
constitute the staff Of the Mothers
Arms. where 40 children. all under )
years Of age, are cared for daily. For
all this service the mother pays only
8 cents a day and cents for halt
day on Saturday.
GAS an educational movement or a
social welfare work. these day nur-
series would be interesting-as a ma
tional movement they are vastly more
so. for they show that at last the ma :
tions are beginning to realize in a
practical way that their children are
their greatest wealth-the nations
greatest asset"
