OCTOBER WEATHER
 RESULTS IN GREAT
 INCREASE IN CROPS
Corn Crop Shows 30 Million Bushel Increase Wheat Crop 100 Million Great
 CT Than for 1917

Washington November s.-october weather conditions resulted in an in crease of 90,0O0,00O bushels in the codn- try's crop of corn. The department of agricultures November crop report today placed the preliminary estimate of pro- duction at 2,74s, ,1eS,o 600 bushels. While the crop is smaller in size than last years it's food value is materially greater be- cause the quality this year is more than 10 points higher.
 With wheat crop of about 9l9,0ooOoO bushels, which is some 10o0o0,o00 bushels more than the average of the last five years, and large crops of rye, buckwheat, potatoes, rice, beans, onions and cabbage the country's food crops this year have been bountiful
 The crop of tobacco is record one by 7oo0O,o0O pounds, being 1,26S,6S6,ooo pounds this year.
 REPORT SUMMARY
 A summary of the report by the bureau of crop estimates says:
 ''The almost ideal weather of October in the main agricultural areas of the country has resulted in an increase of the indicated corn crop by about 30.O0o,0O0 bushels. with a quality of s5.6 compared with 75.2 last year, and s2.S average. The results in the southwest and the far west were not up to expectations. While the absolute number of bushels is only S7 per cent of that of last year, the food value, because of the higher quality, Is 8 much larger proportion. The stock of loc cf 1-t more than three times the amount of corn on hand a year ago, and in excess of the usual.
 "Buckwheat was damaged by early frost lowering the good earlier prospects of yield by about per cent, but leav- ing this crop still per cent in excess of last year and 20 per cent above the average.
 POTATO YIELD sCUT
 Potato yields now reported confirm the earlier estimates The summer drouths resulted in small size and reduced yields in the main producing areas. The crop now estimated is Il per cent below the enormous crop of last year, but per cent above the five-year average, being In size the fourth crop of record.
 Sweet potato production exceeds by a slight margin even last years big crop, and is about 40 per cent above the hve- year average.
 .Tobacco, with a large acreage, has yield per acre materially above average and total production of 100000 pounds above last year, which furnished the lar sest previous crop of record.
 'HThe rice crop is about 15 per cent greater than last year, almost 20 per cent; beans, almost 20 per cent more; onions, per cent more; cabbage, IS per cent more, and the commercial crop of apples, Il per cent more. Sugar beets are almost 10 per cent more, and cane for sugar about 25 per cent more. Sorghum syrup, relatively insignificant is 1S per cent less. Kaffir corn is 20 per cent less, peanuts 6. per cent less.'

Pnuemonla-c Cause and Prevention.
tBy N. +. Chaplain,
CITY Health 0fficer

It is now generally believed by the
medical profession that pneumonia is
carried in the secrehons Of the nose,
mouth and respiratory tracts Of those
who have il. Formerly it was thought
that nearly everybody, healthy peo-
pie and others, carried the pneumo-
cocus or germ that causes pnenmon-
ia in the secrelions Of the mouth,
nose and throat, and that these
germs got in their work when ones
physical resistance is lowered. This
is no longer thought to be necessarily
true.
Now that we know more about
pneumonia, thanks to the Rockeae-
Ter Institute, we know better how 10
avoid IT, First Of all, we know every
case Of pneumonia should be regard
ed as a possible source Of infection
Since the disease is infectious, we
know that every patient should be
isolated as soon as possible, and
communication with other people re-
duced to a minimum. Furthermore,
all eating and drinking utensils,
handkerchiefs, clothing and bedding
should be kept separate and thor
oughly sterilized before being agaio
put into general use. This preoau-
ton should be continued for thirty
days after the patient is well.
Those in attendance or ~ con-
tact with pneumonia should refrain
from kissing and splitting, and should
cover the mouth and nose wien
coughing. They should also avid
visiting and mingling with other per-
sons.
Fresh air for the patient and the
attendants, and everyone else, is one
Of the greatest factors in both the
prevention and cure Of this disease.
Pneumonia is frequently called a
''foul air" disease, because it is so
frequently on account Of lack Of
ventilation that the infection is
contracted.
The poorly-ventilated, over-crowd-
ed picture show is one of the known
spreaders.

639,5O7 TONS
OF COAL MINED
IN ONE WEEK
Output From Indiana Mines
Wars Rccord-Draft Takes
Miners.

TERRE HAUTE. Aug. 80. -Produc-
lion OF coal by Indiana mines for the
week ending August "a amounted to
639.507 tons as against 599.315 tons for
the preceding week, according to re-
ports to the district representative OF
the United States Fuel Administration
from 208 mines. Production therefore
was about $4,000 tons lower than the
highest week of this year.
Operators are doubtful whether the
record figure will be reached again.
Practically every mine in the state has
been hit so hard by the draft that It
has lost men who cannot be replaced.
The taking OF men to the army has
continued In spite OF the presidents
request that these men ask for de-
ferred classification During the last
ten days many miners have requested
deferred classification. but these have
invariably been rejected by the dis
trlct board after such deferred classi-
ncation had been recommended by the
local boards, with the notation that
the1r places can be filled by other men.
The coal production manager for
INDIANA has appealed to the Federal
Fuel Administration to obtain more
definite and positive instructions to
the district boards in regard to taking
men from the mines. 1t is estimated
that every man taken causes loss of
8 tons OF coal daily.
In addition to the shortage of men
the mines last week were handicapped
by larger car shortage than has been
the case for several weeks. The short.
age was 9.23 percent as against 8.14
percent for the preceding week and
the additional tonnage possible with
a full car supply was 1850 The

CarIsted's Liver Powder

1t is silly to suffer with habitual
constipation! So many folks do it, in
stead of eating vegetables and fruits
and taking a dose or so occasionally
of good liver stimulator like Carl
sted's Liver Powder, which does not
cause gripping nor pain, but starts the
bile to secreting normally. After that
the liver and bowels naturally perform
their functions and you are saved from
the headaches, the tired feeling and
the other affections that result from
constipation. Carlsted's Liver Powder
has been engaged in it's mission of
mercy for twenty-five years. 1t is a
favorite medicine in thousands OF
homes. Take it yourself. Give it TIC
the children. A dose or so will con.
vince you of its superiority. You will
always want to have it handy for use
