MEETING HALTED;
BOYS ASKED TO ENROLL

The meeting of prospective boy
scouts and their parents, which had
been announced for this afternoon at
the court house, was called off at
the request of the health authorities
because of it's coming under the ban
on public meetings promulgated a few
days ago The authorities gave per-
mission for the meeting to be held
outdoors on the court house steps, but
the condition of the weather made this
arrangement out of the question
Joseph Perkins, who is fathering the
scout movement, and George o. Mar
shall, who is scout master, stated to-
day that the boys are requested to
call at the Chamber of Commerce
room on North Jackson street, be-
tween this date and Mon day, bringing
their dues of $3.50 for the coming year,
so that they may be enrolled as char
ter members of the Americas troop. 1t
is planned to send the final list Of
members and application for charter
to headquarters Monday night.
Boys who do not enroll as charter
members, however, may become mem
bers at any time later

Sanitary science has of late made

Those or us who ar accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid ston-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-

,JAPS REPORTED
BUYING 10000
BALES AT Boots
By vICT0R BARRON.

ATLANTA, Dec. 19.-After an al
most perpendicular rise of from nearly
$1@to more than SIS bale from the
low levels OF a week ago, reaction
logically was to be expected in cotton
futures, based principally on easier
technical conditions and a desire on
the part of longs to realize handsome
profits.
In addition to this, the market at
the opening Wednesday was influenced
to some extent by rumor that the
National Ginners' association places
ginnings for the period-December l
to 12-at 652,50e bales, against 41S,OOO
last year for the same period.
There also was desire on the part
,,of many to hold off until after the
Yuletide holidays.
The market swung upward during
the afternoon, however, on a report
that Japanese interests have bought
20. 600 bales of spot cotton in Texas,
paying 80 cents and above for same.
Heavy exports for the day-more than
62 900 bales-and good spot demand
everywhere, even for low grades with
small offerings, also favored the mar
ket, values in New York rising to new
highs for the day.
Those friendly to the buying side of
the market maintained that the appar-
emily bearish ginning figmrns do not
change the intrinsically bullish situa-
ton in cotton one iota; that small
crop is assured and extremely heavy
needs are required from this seasons
production. However some expressed
the belief that, should ginnings be as
large as indicated, they may serve to
Acause temporary reaction, but buy
ling is advised on all reactions.
J Even should ginnings be $4,000
bales, it only would bring the yield so
ar ginned up to 1O,215,124 bales,
eaihst 10,142,S5S to the same date
"a 1917 More or less favorable
weather during the recent period fay-
ored rapid picking and ginning, while
a year ago conditions were adversed,
growers having little opportunity to
gather the staple and haul it to the
gins.
Another reason why ginnings can
not be accepted as a bearish argu-
ment is this; Farmers will not sell
at current levels, therefore the sta
pie either will be hauled back home
or stored, thus sustaining the remark
ably strong holding movement.
Inquiry among local cotton mer
chants brings out the fact that de
mand is growing for the raw article
with mills and exporters furnishing
the bulk of bids, but holders are
steadfast
With the export outlook taking on
a more brilliant rue daily, together
with the fact that the supply is in,
sufficient to satisfy needs and little or
no preparations being made for next
years crop, holders of spots are more
confident than ever of winning the
contest now being waged between
them and the mills.
1t was reported that 10000 bales of
freight room had been booked out of
New Orleans and Galveston by Spanish
exporters
