Liverpool male d relatively firm showing and first prices here were ' to 2i points net higher, with January selling un to 3l .5oc and March to 31.10c after the call. Liver pool was buyer and there were re, ncwcd trade demands and coNerin: by some of yesterdays sellers, but the advance met increased offerings with the market becoming rathe run settled following reports that a num- Der of mills in the Charlotte had been forced to close down owing to lack of fuel andwater. January cased off to 3141c and March to 30.93c before the end of the first hour
 Selling became more active ana general later in the morning. There appeared to be increased Southern hedging, while the reports that Caro- lima mills were closing down owing to scarcity of water, evidently strength oned rcactOnary sentiment. Stop or ders were uncovered o1 the break and for a time the markct was eX- tremely nervous and weak with Jan uary selling off to 31.0oc and March to 30.52c, or about 27,32 points net lower. and 30 to % points from the carly high level.
 Leading spot house brokers were very heavy buyers on the midday break and after the execution of stop orders, the market firned up on covering. March rallied from 30.o2c to 30.SIc before o'clock, or back to practically last nights closing fig urcs. There was no cor,!rn3tun of rumors that New Ens'aal mills were closed owing to the shortage of fuel and later adviccs from Charlotte said the mills there would reopen on Mon day morning.

PAYROLL now
100 MILLIONS
Men May Draw Money
Twice a Month Under
New Plan.

The payroll of the United States
fighting forces has now reached the
mark of 100000 a month. This fig
ure does not include certain family al
lowances in behalf of the men in uni
form. nor the payments on account of
the $176, 10. 600 war insurance fund.
The committee on public information
yesterday made public the method OF
paying the navy's $4,000 officers and
men. During December they got n
total of about $I7, 7,OO0. 200. The men can
draw twice a month, in either checks
or currency of the country in which
their duty lies. ..
An admiral OF the navy gets an an
ual salary of $4,000, plus $1,000 for
each five years in the service. not TO
exceed $1,000: plus another $1,000 for
sea duty or duty outside the con-
tinental United States, or plus N,3VC
allowance for quarters when ashore
where the government does not pro-
vide house. The highest pay In the
navy can thus be $1,000.
Similar allowances are made for all
grades. Officers and men In the avia-
tion section get 20 per cent increase
in pay. Warrant officers and CHIEF
petty officers, enlisted men OF Ions
service. may draw a mucn better sal
airy than some young ensigns. Spe-
cial compensations are arranged for
mer. who show all sorts of superior
fitness in the ranks, and the general
table proves that Our navy Is the
best paid military service In the world.

according to figures comBiled by the
French high commissioner. On the
other hand. it is interesting to know
that OF those in the ordinary walks
of peaceful life. nearly Il per cent
are the victims of disease of the
kidneys. In 1916 one of the greatest
life insurance companies in the
world paid 913 death claims where
death was caused by Bright's dis

Prof. II. Strauss. NJ. D., of the
Royal Charity Hospital. Berlin.
says: The cause for an attack of
gout. rheumatism. lumbago, is sup
piled by the increase of uric acid in
the blood serum. the result of va

which is renal. Before an attack.
one suffers sometimes from head
ache, neuralgia, twinges of pain

Strauss both hold that a long con-

function, resulting in an accumula-
ton OF uric acid in the blood serum,
causes these painful Affections.
