COTTON.

New Orleans, May 25.-Strength
was displayed by cotton today and
prices rose IS TO so points in the
early trading, The main Influence
was the threatened investigation OF
contract trading by Washington,
which brokers and traders here ap-
teared to think would work n favor
of contract prices if carried out.
Contributing to the steadiness were
larger mill takings than expected.
The demand continued through
out the session with buyers finding
little cotton for sale. Toward the
close the market was at Us bes.,
standing A. to 65 points over yes
terday's final prices, july showing
the greatest strength.
The advance extended to 2450c
for July and 24.46 for October late
in the morning with the more ac-
tive positions selling SO to Il points
net higher. Closing prices were a
shade off from the best under real
izing, but firm at net gain of 43 to
SO points.

So with wheat flour. 1t has not been

Milk has advanced in price. but food
experts tell us that even at the high

be ranked with the least expensive of

money-saving food.
There is, to be sure, a shortage of
milk in certain European countries.
What milk there is has been kept in
many cases for babies and young chill

tendency to cut down the amount of
milk in our diet would probably have
very bad effects on the milk industry.
1t has been shown that with the de-

You should also learn how to make
cheese and various milk products that

Some persons believe milk to be in
digestib1e. The fact is that milk drunk
cold is rather taxing on the digestive
system. But we need not drink milk
that way. We can have it combined in
vegetables purees to make an excellent
luncheon dish. Milk toast is some

light supper dish, and the fact that it
is included in invalid and convalescent
dietary proves that it is easily di-

New Vork.-We are not only going
back to garden party clothes that are
strongly reminiscent of the Civil war,
but we are dipping into other fash
ions that were produced then and i'm
rnediately afterward.
1t is strange that France should
have been the Inspiration of a series
of the most strongly American fash
ions this year. The collar and hat of
George Washington, the fringes and
beadwork of our first families, the
Indians, and the square neck and
elbow sleeves of our women Colonials
were all thrown into the melting pot
of fashions by France after America
went into the war.
For this spring, France has led the
way toward a revival of Civil war
fashions in fluted ruffles on organdy
gowns, the use of pastel colors, i'm
nense fichus. short sleeves and even
the hair in the high top knot and
small curls at the temple that came
in and out of fashion a half century
ago.
