not know what they want And business conditions do
not become settled soon we may reach the point

WILSON REPORTED
 TO BE IMPROVING
ALTHOUGH THE COMPLICATION MAKES SITUATION GRAVE,
 PHYSICIANS OPTIMISTIC.

Washington. Gravity of Presi- somewhat increased by developments pertaining to his disordered or swol- len prostrate gland and the possibili- ties of an operation being necessary to alleviate this phase of his indispc sition.
 A general consultation of the regu- larly attending physicians and Dr. Hugh Young, prostatic specialist from the Johns Hopkins University Of Baltimore, was held regarding the condition of the prostrate gland and the advisability of an operation. In addition to Dr. Young, those present were: Dr. Gary T. Grayson, the pres ident's physician; Dr. Sterling Ruff1n of Washington Rear Admiral Stitt, head of the medical school and Dr. H. A. Fowler, a Washington prostatic specialist and one-time assistant to Dr. Young
 Dr. Grayson said that the swollen gland and the complications arising from the condition greatly hampers the general improvement of the presf- dent and that it had been decided to concentrate attention on that aspect of the case. He said the president Is slowly, but steadily, improving, the only drawback being the glandulal trouble.
 The bulletin issued by Doctors Grayson, Rufftn, Stig+t, Young and Fow ler, is as follows:
 "The presidents prostrate gland swelling referred tc in previous but letins is definitely improved and causing little discomfort so that the treatment has been simpliffed. The kidneys are functioning normally and tie heart action is excellent. I he tenn rerature, pulse and blood pressure re main normal"
 The impression was conveyed by Dr. Grayson that tue removal of the prostate gland was a simple operation in itself and that in the event that it was deemed necessary the president was physically strong enough to un dergo the operation

COTTON MEN HAVE
 NEW SELLING PLAN
BRITISH SINNERS URGED TO SEND BUYERS TO FIELDS
 OF SOUTH.

New Orleans.-British cotton spin ners were urged by growers to send representatives to the fields of the South, to buy cotton from the farmer direct, to bale the staple as they see it. eliminating all middlemen and hereby reducing the cost of the raw material to the spinner and increas- Ing the price paid the producer.
 This proposal, along the lines of the systems used by British tobacco manufacturing int srests in Kentucky, was made at meeting of a special committee of World Cotton Confer ence delegates, composed of 10 for eign spinners, 10 American spinners and 20 American cotton growers.
 It was the first time in 50 years that American cotton producers and British spinners had met in special conference.
 The farmer who raises 10 bales of cotton talked over his problems with the British spinner who buys a thou sand times his yearly output. The British spinner also told of his prob lems, delayed machinery shipments, s1rikes, a f1uctuattns market and la Dor scarcity
 Speakers agreed that no arbitrary price could be fixed for any given pc riod owing mainly to the tr emendous fluctuations in the amounts of cotton picked in relation 10 the amount planted iii differen. years, Condi tions of weather and of insect de Eredations made 1t impossible to set an advance price on the staple as ihe growing costs cannot be estimat ed until the crop has been gathered and ginned.

Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, sour, gassy stomach-always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in. testines. instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes conges- ton and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undlgested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and pos sons in the bowels.

ARE CARRYING IT TOO FAR
Bathing Costume for Tennis Is the Abbreviatng of an Ab-
 breViation.

This is the day of brevity. The names of states and cities are abbrevi- ated, Christian appellations are cut short and initials substituted. The gro cer abbreviates "potatoes" to "spuds" and condenses "crackers" to "crax." The butcher writes "PC" when he means pork chops," and the chemist shortens "water" to "H-2-O." The printer, referring to "a mass of balled- up type," cusses and calls it "pi." Likewise, the sport writers character ize the "knock out" as "KO." The doctor indicates "sod-cac" when he wants sodium cacodylate."
 But abbreviations are not confined to words. The Tanks abbreviated the war. The rising cost of living has ab- breviated the purchasing power of a dollar. The airplane has abbreviated space, and electricity has abbreviated time itself. The laundry often abbrevi- ates the size of ones new shirt. Fash lon frequently abbreviates costumes.
 There is, however, such a thing as abbreviating too much. For in France, bathing suit is considered sufficient raunent for one who is in the swim ming pool, but it is highly objection able elsewhere. Tennis players clad in bathing suits are carrying the abbrevi- ation habit too far.
 They are abbreviating abbreviatiOn

Washington. = The fall of Petro- trad and the occupancy of both that city and the fortress of Kronstadt by the Russian anti-Bolshevik forces has been reported officially by the Gener- al Staff of the Finnish army to the Viborg representative of the North. west government of Russia.

 In making public the departments advices, Acting Secretary Phillips said that direct dispatch, from the departments representative nearest the old Russian capital, reported that Finnish official announcement had not been corroborated from other sources.
 The announcement crediting the Finish General Staff as authority was quite brief. It came from Viborg, and followed uneonfrmed reports to tie department through Swedish and Russian sources saying that Pc. trograd and Kronstadt had been MI ested from the Bolsheviki by the beleaguring forces under General Yu. denitch; that with the fall of the for. t1fed Gatehina, 35 miles out from Pc. trograd on the way to Berlin, the collapse of the old capital was inevi. table, and that the Bolsheviki were concentrating all their troops for q decisive struggle with General Deni. lines forces in the south.

HAS BUST OF HER0D0TUS Antique in Metropolitan Museum of Art Identified as Portrait of
 Father of History.

Dr. Robinson, director of the Metro pOlitan Museum of Art, in New York, has identified an antique marble bust, which has been in the museums store room for 20 or 30 years, as being portait of Herodotus. "the father of history" The marble, which has lain in dust all these years, will now as sume an important place of honor in the institution.
 There are but five known portraits of Herodotus. The New York portrait fslst was originally found at Benha, Tn Lower Egypt, and passed into the possession of Emil Brugsch Bey, from whom it was acquired and presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts. The recognition was based on the re- sembance of the known portraits and the finding of the learned mans name inscribed upon it. As work of art 1t was not very highly regarded, but as the sixth known portrait of Herodotus it assumes new dignity. It is also said to be one of the best portraits eXtant.
