Wireless improved.

According to an English electrical
publication, valuable Improvement
has been made in the shape Of the adj
dltion of metal springs to the aerials
on, shipboard for the purpose of acting
as shock absorbers, thus overcoming
to a great degree the tendency of this
delicate instrument to be put out OF
service when the vessel experiences q
severe shock either from torpedo or
accident. Heretofore it has been neces.
sary to take the aerials down when
the vessel is loading because of the
movement and. vibration in the masts
caused by the use of the derricks.

HEALTH TALK.
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE Fl. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight German or a germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
of May-apple,, leaves of aloe, root of
ialap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after a hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
lours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
cts were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
It is important that broths, milk, but
ermilk, ice-cream and simple diet
oe given regularly to strengthen the sys-
em and increase the vital resistance,
The fever is diminished by the use of the
anuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
With water (tepid in which table
poonful of salaratus has been dissolved
n quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
he system, obtain at the drug store a
rood iron tonic, called Irontic" Tab
cts, or, that well known herbal tonic,
0r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

F[EECY STAPLE
 IRREGULAR, WITH
 THE CLOSE STEADY
General List Closed Barely Steady, Net Unchanged to 25 Points LOwer-Liver-
 pool Was a Seller

New York, October 16.-The cotton mar ket was irregular again today an early decline being followed by recoveries, which were not fully maintained, with the close barely steady, net unchanged to 25 points lower. December contracts sold up from 30. lOc to 30. 51c and closed at 30 26c, compared with 30.54c at the close of yesterday.
 The market opened easy at decline of 15 to 4s points under liquidation, Liverpool selling and scattered selling by the south.
 october sold off to 3lc right after the call or 30 points net lower, while January declined to 29.65c or 49 points below last nights final figures. These early offerings seemed to be readily ab- sorbed at the lower prices. however, and the market soon turned frmer on trade buying and covering. There were re- ports that spinners were buying con tracts to fix prices on the basis of about 20 cents for December and that southern spot offerings were smaller. These fea- lures tended to offset favorable crop ad- vices, and there was covering by early sellers on the advance, which extended to 31 44c for October and 30.lzc TOT Jan uary during the early afternoon. This carried December and January contracts hack within a point or two within last pisht,s closing figures, while October ana soT.ing months sold 14 to r points net hi eher A renewal of Liverpool selling and realizing caused the final reactions of ahout h to % points from the best.
 A Memphis report claimed that the weather of the past week had been eo her cent favorable for the final yleiq ana 20 per cent favorable for picking and ginning. Indications that gun l sloril ana s+ apneared to attract no special at tention. ..x .o

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New orleans, October l6.-The price of cotton was depressed throughout the session today by selling that appeared to ba chiefly expression of the bearish sen timent aroused by the-prevaience Of in- fluenza
 On the short side much was made or inc argument that consumption was be- inc materially eurtaNed by the inability ~ manufacturers to run their machinery fuu time. ard also. considerable con. sideration was given reports that cotton aooas were easier Initial prices were iower and the downward movement was continued until the trading months were eT to 4 points off. From the lowest there were almost full recoveries, but more selling was met late Tn the day and -the close showed net losses of 8 to 35
 Recoyeries were due principally to the nrofit taking operations of shorts, ai- tborgh at one time fresh buying was caused by reports of internal troubles sin Austria Hungary and by rumors of naace riots in Berlins
 The weather map was dry and warmer weather was noted in the belt Less anx- iatv was felt concerning the disturbance ;r Inc gulf as it appeared to be veering tn the west from it's original course. which was toward the heart of the cotton region.

PEACE" AND 4WAR". GROUPS MOVED IN
 OPPOSITE TRENDS.
Trading Was of Enormous Volume, With Better Feel ing Among All the Wall
 Street Spectators

New York, October 1s.-On an enor- nous volume of business. today's stock market witnessed another series or up- ward movements in numerous issues, mostly of the "peace', group. while rec ognized s'war'' shares remained heavy or at least backward.
 Some Of the buying which was un- usually diffuse in that it comprehended stocks of obscure origin, was attributed to revival of public interest, predicted upon latest phases of the war situation.
 In the main, however, trading derived its stimulus from pools and kindred in- it expedient to finance commitments on the long side by extending their opera tions for the short account.
 In addition to the resumption of ac- tivity in oils and marines at higher levels, motors and their accessories de- veloped unwonted prominence and strength and metals and gas shares were in process Of further accumulation.
 Wilson Packing, Virginia Carolina Chemical, General Electric, American Ice, American Tobacco, Sears Roebuck and Woolworth embraced the stronger spe- cialties.
 Rails started a beIated advance with Union Pacific's 2-point gain and Cana dian Pacific's sharp rally of 2h points, grangers, coalers and .le southern divl- sion rising to 11s points.
 Among the striking features were Mex ican Petroleum, Royal Dutch and Pan- American Petroleum preferred at gross advances of to 9 points; Marine pre- ferred A; Studebaker. 5; United States Rubber, 51s: Goodrich, g. American Ice. 5; and Ohio Gas. AZ. These were re- duced by to points at the end. United States Steel lost small fracfon, re- lated issues forfeiting to points.
 Bonds, notably Liberty issues, were irregular; French government .5lss mak- ing a new high record at 1925. Total sales (par value) aggregated s9,S2o,oOo. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
