The Exchange Situation.

No one seems able to draw conclu
sions as to the actual bearing on our
own situation of the break in for
eign exchange. That such extreme
declines as those which occurred in
rates on London. France and Italy,
and such excessive depreciation from
normal, are disturbing to trade rela-
lions. as in principle. unquestionably
true. 1t is also true that, up to
certain point, country whose ex-
change is heavily deprecated in a
foreign market can sell it's own
products to an advantage.
With exchange at par, an English
merchant would have to get $486,60O
plus freight and profits. for 100000
worth of English goods sold in the New
York market. but with exchange at
$4.12. he could sell the goods on the
basis of $412.00O and still realize his
10000 and his profits.
This would in theory enable him to
undersell competition whose exchange
was normal, and perhaps to undersell
the American producer
Conversely, the New York merchant
who sells his goods in England, in or
der to secure the sum which would
cover the operation with a profit, If
sterling were at par. would have to
raise his English selling price in pro-
portion to the depreciation of ex-
change. s%
He would have had to advance his
price in England very considerably.
between last Saturday and last Mon
day. In other words. the progressive

American exporter at an increasing
theoretical disadvantage as compared

Don't Burn Straw

The burning of straw, even though
the ashes leave a small quantity of
additional mineral matter in the soil,
results in an almost total loss. 1t is
praciced most largely in the West,
mainly because of custom rather than
inability to purchase, feed, or market
meat-producing animals. Many people
there have come to believe that straw
is of no value and in that section large
quantities are allowed to waste. In
some of the Western States a cam
paign has been made by the colleges
of agriculture and extension workers
to get farmers to use a portion OF
their grain fields.
The same applies to leaves and other
vegetable matter, not used for food,
which came from the ground. All
vegetable matter not made use of or
the refuse should be returned to the
land to provide food for vegetation to
be grown for use or beauty.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
can be reduced and this tube
restored to it's normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is

Ban On ImmOdest Dresses

A futter has been made among the
women employees of the dupont Com
pany in Wilmington by the announce
ment that some have been advised to
dress more modestly which will indi-
cate a more chaste mind and not at
tract attention nor arous passion.
The s~hrinkage in the length of dress
es both from the shoe tops and the
neck has been very noticeable the past
few months.
The rumors that there are men who
admire more the scantily dressed vau
deville actors is undoubtedly the mo-
tive why there is a growing tendency
in young women to dress more immod-
estly. If the ban is put on such
dresses in public and in business why
should that which suggests the minds
of libertines be tolerated in public
show houses?
