AFR'c%.. DEMAND For LACES
Worth CuItivating, According to
Consular Report.

No l0cee, embroideries or dress trim
mings of any kind are produced in
West Africa. OF machinemade goods,
principally cotton, large quantities are
imported, being supplied chiefly by
England. France and Switzerland The
native women use them in embroidered
under and top skirts, chemiSes, chemi-
settles and kllnonos.
This is true as regards the native
women in all West Africa, even in the
far interior They fancy the top cheml-
settle, or short chemiSe, worn as XII
mono. For the most part the goods
are embroidered, but many have begun
to wear garments with insertions and
laces. Light figured and lowered
yoileS and dimities are well liked in
Senegal.
Many of the women are seen wear
ing some of the best qualities of these
goods. especially the vOiles, though, Of
course, the cheaper grades of the dimi-
ties find larger sale While no sta
tiStics of importers are available. the
trade undoubtedly is of sufficient I'M
portance TO cultivate. All the large i'm
porterS are more or less interested in
these articles, rs in cotton goods gen
orally. and would appreciate samples

AvERTEn EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean

to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent OF the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports 10 Europe has been the
shortage OF shipping Between July
and October 10 Ne shipped 6j,9S0,30i
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end Of The fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with moro
than 2j7, 500,000 bushels Of wheat and
fOnr In terms Of wheat.
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States. has been that with the cessa
ton 8f lfostilitiss we are able to re
turn to normal wheat diet, supplies
that have accumulated In Australia
Argentine and other hitherto inacees
slhle markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand FOR American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf ut the com

But last year the tale was different
Osly by the greatest possible sayin.
and sacrifice were we able TO keep n
steady stream Of wheat and -four mov-
Ing across The soa. We found cur.
selves at The beginning Of the harvest

10000, 900 bushels And yet Europe

All Of this surplus had left the
country early In the fall, BY the first
Cf the year we had managed 10 ship a
little more than 50,OO0,000 bushels by
pr1cticlng the utmost economy at
hOtne--by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhonada.
then British Food Controller, cahIed
that only II We sent an additional 81
0O go bushels before July | could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American peo-
pie was 81, 900 600 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January | and
July /. Out Of a harvest which gave
us only 20,O00,0o0 bushels surplus we
actually shipped. 900 900 bushels.
Thus did America fulfil her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
main aimed, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

The little childs doll Is mother to the
most romantic fairy. And in the years that
pass, the doll fades into the petals OF a
June rose, to evolve the most wondrous of
all transformations.
And now comes more serious period
when the joy of real motherhood should
be as tranquil as best efforts can provide.
This Is accomplished with a wonderful rem
edy known as Mothers Friend. An external
application so penetrating in its nature as
to thoroughly lubricate the myriad network
of cords, tendons, nerves and muscles just
beneath the skin of the abdomen.
1t relieves the tension, prevents tenderness
and pain at the crisis and enables the abb
domen to expand gently. The muscles con-
tract naturally after baby arrives and the
form Is thus preserved.
It should be applied daily, night and morn
Ing during the period Of expectancy. By
regular use 1t enables the abdomen TO ex-
pand without the usual strain when baby
is born. Naturally, pain and danger at the
crisis is less.
You will find Mothers Friend on sale at
every drug store. 1t Is prepared only by
the Bradheld Regulator Co., Lamar
Bldg Atlanta, Ga. They will send you an
instructive Motherhood Book" without charge.
Write them to mail 1t to you. Do not neglect
for single morning or night to use Mothers
Friend Obtain a bottle from your druggist
today by all means, and thus fortify yourself
against pain and discomfort.
