Best Foot POWder
Certainly Makes
Very Poor Bread
By FRED S. FERGU son
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN LORRAINE, April 4 (By maiD-
When flour won't biscuit" won't
pie" won't "doughnut," won't even
dough" and above all, won't Spa
ghet," there must be something the
matter with it.
And when you've ordered a ton of
trench foot powder, and it hasn't ar
rived; and more cases of trench
feet are coming in; and your super
iors are raising the roof demanding
the powder, and you can't get it
again there must be something the
matter.
Two captains with these two lines
of trouble in mind met recently. One
was a captain in the quartermaster
corps. The other was stationed at
the front.
Captain X opened the conversation.
He told of his trench-foot powder
troubles. The particular powder he
had ordered was the best thing for
trench feet that had been found
but he couldn't get it for some mys-
terious reason.
CAPTAIN came back with his
troubles He had Just gotten in a
batch of flour and had been deluged
with kicks from everybody from the
company cook to the French civilians
and the Salvation Army.
Now, everybody was trying mixing
it with other -four to seaAif it would
work. he said
THE stuff simply Won't do nothing
that flour ought to do" was his final
cry of anguish.
A light dawned in the eye of Cap
| tain X.
What does this flour of yours look

Just -four"
but are you sure it's four?"
There's no analyst with my outfit,

How much have you
sold? Who did you sell it to? How
can you get 1t back, and get it back
quick?"

Pancakes Muscle Makers.

1t is a common mistake to suppose
that to get the necessary strength to
do hard manual labor heavy meat
diet is necessary. This is far from
correct. Muscular labor does not ma
terially affect the demand for minerals
and proteins, but rather for starches,
fats, and sugars. Therefore any ad-
ditional wastage through muscular eff
fort could be much better repaired by
pancakes and sirup than by roast beef,
for as much moisture and heat are
wasted as tissue, so II is fuel that is
required.-Populnr Science Monthly.

Captain y nearly embraced it,
Just then a man from the Italian
mission appeared. He explained that
they had had visions of a real spa
ghetti dinner. But, he added in eff
feet, that with all respect to the Ana
erican's -four, it wouldn't "spaghet."
Then came a man from mess
nearby. In a few minutes there was
a line, and everyone carrying a pack
age of flour" that wouldn't act as 1t
should.
Knowing that the flour" had been
sold out in fifty pound lots to several
times as many buyers, Captain y was
fretting over how 1t was to be gotten

Captain Y looked at the line, and
consoled:

end OF Price fixing
/: BUOYS UP MARKET
Wiseacres Convinced of Change in
Policy Despite Denial.
BY BRODAN WALL.

New York, June l1.-Announce-
ment made in this column yester-
day that the government planned
as q part of the new taxation sys-
TEN to abandon strict price fixing
as now practiced resulted in a
strong stock market. Technical de-
niai from Washington did not
change the situation, for too many
men OF Importance know that the
change OF policy is to be made.
While the general public accept
ed an abandonment of price-fixing
as an argument for higher prices,
some few were doubtful.
As coppers will probably feel the
influence of the new policy first
those stocks were leaders in to-
days market. The standard issues
went up a point and more. Coal
stocks were also strong, Pittsburgh
and West Virginia and Pittsburgh
coal both rising sharply. Tobacco
stocks, particularly American Sum-
atra and United Cigar Stores, NOV
ed upward under the influence of
buying that appeared to be for in
vestment account.
The tire stocks were another
strong feature under leadership of
Kelly-Springfield. There was quiet
but good buying of corn products
and cotton oil.
The last two stocks were taken
presumably because the price of
olive oil has been advanced to 1915
a gallon.
Tire stocks advanced because all
automobiles need tires whether
they are pleasure carriages or war
trucks. The kelly-Springfield Com
pany is one of the most important
manufacturers of solid rubber tire.
The Goodrich Company also shares
in this business and the United
States Rubber Company. whose
stock was among the strong feat
ures. necessarily shares in all in
creases in the use of rubber. Auto
mobile stocks did not participate In
the advance, for with them 1t il
not so much a question of prices
as of volume OF output. They have
already made their contracts with
the government and are bound. This
is true of many lines of business.
1t will be some months before the
new policy. even when officially
adopted, can make its influence
felt.

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. June 1.-THE cotton market was
again irregular today but it displayed steadl-
ness In the final dealings. Selling was fairly
active at times on statements made at q meet-
ing Of msmbeB Of tho textile industry.
Quite some pressure in the October option
was the feature at the opening and As re-
suit ths tone was weak. with July up two
points and other positions fourteen to nineteen
points nat lower.
Trading became more active as prices worked
higher with July selling up thirty-seEen points
and later deliveries tWenty-siI 10 thirty i've
points above last nights clOsing figures during
the middle OF ths morning.
Prospects for clearing weather in the Eastern
belt promoted realizing on the midmOrning ad
vance and IEices sag9ed OF late in the fore
EooR. July reacted to within two points OF
last nights close, Whils later months sold
about fte 10 eleTsn points net lower. There
were reiterated reports Of a better slut demand
and business tapered of sharply on the reac-
tion, with the market quiet
Moderate weakness was q feature Of the early
afternoon trade. with prices of about thirteen
TO twenty points from last nights close. Last
prices were twenty nine points net higher to
forty seIen points lower the market having ad-
yaneed rapidly in the last few minutes On
heavy cHeins Of Old crop positions.
The receipts at the ports for the day were
1000 bales. compared with 1888 bales a week
ago and Bz6 haIes 9 year ago.
Spot at New Orleans was steady and un-
changed at a.3s; the sales were III bales. Spot
here was quiet at an advance Of 9S for mid
ding; thsre were sales.
Receipts at some Of the leading points were

reis a day there remain other inci-
dental expenses. All oil men admit
that the business Of prospecting and
promoting oil properties, Is more or
less in the nature Of q gamble. Fifty
thousand dollars may be easily buried
in what is called a dry well. But
when fortune favors the investor the
bounty is so munincent that it does
not fail to tempt men who have cap
ital, experience and business qualifi-
cations,
OIL High Grade.
One feature associated with the sue
cessful drilling OF this Enid well re-
fers to the quality OF the oil. 1t is
Of such high grade that It commands
$3T5 a barrel at the well. No higher
grade oil has come from American
soil. Those who have visited the Enid
district and have returned to New
York say that we can have no idea
of the excitement and enthusiasm and
energy which prevail throughout the
district. Enid Is to become the center
OF a great refining interest. To these
refineries oil is to be brought by pipe
lines from the many wells which are
now flowing. 1t Is the expectation
that within a year the whole district
will be honeycombed with oil wells.

saw another man sitting on the

At frst the man looked like an

He sat there, shout an hour. Luke

He thought over the matter for q
minute or two. He was stin leaning

to put the window down. A flower
pot fell on the sill and III right on
