AVOIDING CATARRH

A WOMAN wrote to me recently and
L - Said she had suffered from ca
tarrh for many years and was getting
gradually deaf. She wanted some
remedy, and asked if catarrh was cur
able. l gave her all the advice
could, but such cases of course, become
too serious TO be handled by one whose
specially is general health and looks,
and I told her to go to a physician.
For catarrh is durable. and anyone
who suffers from the least trace of this
annoying affliction should start at
once to cure themselves. If possible.
they should go to a high or dry eli
mate and live where fir and pine trees

CHEW MORE-EAT LESS.
Save Doctors Bills-Live Longer b.
Taking TING.

1t sounds absurd to say that we do
not nave time To chew our food suffi-
/ Gently, vet scientists tell us that we do
NOT eheW 1t enough to get full benefit of
It's Eourishment.
we know that the more thoroughly
our food Is chewed the more nourish-
ment we receive from it, and, conse-
quently, the less food we require. We
also know that when food is not thor
oughiy masticatcd, and assimilated it
becomes waste matter in the system
I rood not thoroughly masticated causes
the digestive organs to be overworked.
How reasonable il would seem to be
to learn TO chew food twice as long a we
usually do, and, as a natural conse-
quence, eat half as much as we are
accustomed to eat. And we might add
that a natural result also would be that
we would live twice as long.
Old age comes on. we are told by the
gradual decrease in the body's power to
eliminate waste matter. People who
practice "Fletchcrizing or very thor
ough chewing, are adding many years to
their lives.
We are accustomed to thinking of
meat as being the only food which re-
auires very thorough mastication.
| Everything we eat or drink should be
taken slowly so as to be well mixed
with saliva. Even milk should be
slowly slipped instead of being drunk
as water.
Cheese is. one of the most nutritious
| of all foods, but is hard to digest. One
| of the reasons most people find cheese
hard to digest is because it is soft and
| it Is not necessary to chew it we'll or
| in order to swallow it, and it is scarcely
chewed at all but goes down the throat
without properly mixing with the sa-
Iva.
ANY practice which eliminates doc
tors bills and improves the health is a
great economy, of course, but think too
of cutting that grocery bill in half!
When ordering two pounds of steak for
dinner. remember that one pound will
do even better than two--if You take
time to chew it we'll Take time to
chew, and cut that bacon order in two.
That beef roast for supper would cost
considerably less if YOU planned on tax
ing time to chew it well.-Thrift Mag

SAN JUAN, p, r., July 12.-Efforts
of sugar producers and others to get to-
gcther in some concerted effort to relieve
the present depressed sugar situation so
far have failed.
X. Alloy Benitez, president of the
Sugar Producers association, has been in
favor of the formation of selling COM
mittee, the holding of sugars until better
prices prevail. and an ending of the prac-
tIce of shipping sugar to New York un-
sold to be kicked about the market and
finally purchased at any prices the refin-
ers offer. Mr.. Alloy Benitez is of the
opinion that unsold sugars in New York
have helped bring about the unbroken
drop in all sugar prices during the past
| few weeks
While there are some other producers
and others interested in the sugar bust
ness who agree with Mr.. Alloy Benitez,
| there are apparently a large number of
interested parties who are convinced that
Porto Rico sugars are too small factor
| IN the situation to affect the market one
way or the other. They say there are
1.250,000 tons of sugar in Cuba ready
for shipment.
Lose on All Sales.
With the gradual winding up of the
grinding season in the island. it has be-
come apparent that there are more than
2OO,OOO tons of sugar here available for
shipment at a time when prices are lower
than any time during five-year period
and meaning loss on every pound of
sugar sold

COTTON GOODS REVIEW.

Cotton cloths in the unfinished goods
division have become weaker in price.
The demand is light and has been usual
" for small lots for nearby delivery.
Sheetings have weakened rather more
than other lines In consequence of the
pressure to sell some Of the accumulated
stocks Of goods wanted in the bag trades
or for general manufacturing purposes.
Jobbers continue to operate on branded
brown sheetings In a steady way. but are
not anticipating for any late delivery.
Print cloths are quiet. with weakening
most noticeable in narrow goods or In
the finer counts Fine combcd yarii
goods have become very quiet In unfn-
ished lines. Finished goods continue
moving steadily IN small lots for prompt
shipment and all goods on order are
being accepted without question.
Sheets and pillow cases are cxceution-
ally well conditioned, and ginghams are
also well under order. Denns and
working suit materials generally are not
being reordered moderately There Is
steady jobbing distribution reported ia
white goods, wash fabrics, laces. hand
kerchiefs, remnants and some Of the
more staple specialties in cotton suit
ings.
Cotton yarns are lower. Owing to the
closer margin Of profit and the slow or

Big OIL FIELDS IN
MEXICO GIVING OUT
Geologist Says Present Produc-
tion Rate Will Exhaust
Pools by End of 1922.

AT present rate OF production the lat
ter part OF 1922 viii see the end to
the proved big oil fields in Mexico. That
startling statement was made at the
annual meeting last Wednesday OF the
petroleum and gas section of the Aneri-
can Institute of Mining and Metallurgsc-
al Engineers by Ralph Arnold. chairman
of that section. Estimates OF production.
Mr. Arnold declared, reach a total of
325. 900. 900 barrels. Last year Mexico
produced 1S5. 600, 900 barrels. or an aver
age of about 100000 barrels day.
Mexico Is producing. he continued. at the
rate of approximately 100000 barrels a
day, OF which about two-thirds Is COM

probably will be extinct by early sum

IF the present rate is maintained"
Mr. Arnold continued. 1921 viii see
about 200,0o0,o00 barrels OF oil brought
to the surface in Mexico. or about half
the probable production OF the United
States for this year. But Mexico's
proved reserve is less than twice this
amount, hence at the present rate Of
production the latter part of 1922 will

There Is little Wild eating going on
in Mexico now. probably not more than
twenty-five strictly wild cat wells now
being actively drilled outside the main
producing district. Whether 1T is one
and one-half or two years or even a
little longer or a little less before the
break comes 1T Is certain to come. Last
year the United States consumed 531.-
10000 barrels, or S7,724.000 barrels
more than 1t produced. Even excluding
our exported crude and refined products.
amounting to above 100000 barrels,
our consumption exceeded our produc-
tion by more than 100000 barrels.
Can we call this overproduction7
when the break In production In
Mexico does come. what will be the
reaction on the industry IN the United
States? How are we to meet the in
satiable demands which then cannot be
met by the domestic fields? Where are
the foreign fields we can draw from to
compensate for Mexico? Where will the
price for domestic crude go to? VIII the
storage capacity of the country be empty
when this era OF great demand comes?
VIII the so-called independent producers
still be independent after a period of
banl<rupting prices? In view of the
probabilities Is the present drastic cut
in prices justihed?"

Special Despatch TO THE New YorK HERALD.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 19.-The so-caled
break in the steel market became al
most joke to the traders. there being
insufficient buying at cut prices to sup
port the market or encourage further
cutting. The concessions from the In
dustrial Board schedule of April, 1919,

duction. is absolutely firm. 1t is said
that a very small proportion of the in
dependent mills have been actively cam
vassing the trade with reduced prices,
but the majority OF the others and per-
haps all would shade prices very con-
siderabiy If offered orders at all at
tractive.
One effect of the price cutting, how
ever. has been to diminish the volume
of specifications going to the United
States Steel Corporation on old con-
tracts, although booking OF new business
by the Steel Corporation continues at
not much under the rate in December
and January, it appearing as If some
buyers were anxious to participate in

tons have continued to decrease, being
at about so per cent, and 60 per cent.
rate will be reached within few weeks
IL the present trend continues.
1t is expected that there will be soon
some improvement in steel demand, but
full operations OF the steel industry,
with its 10000, 900 gross tons year of
capacity in finished rolled STEEL is so
far in the future that predictions on
that score are not being made Opera
tions will be confined probably to mills
that permitted the least increase in their
operating costs during 1920.
The price situation as to basic pig
iron has been clarified to a small degree
by the action of a somewhat prominent
producing interest. whcih has reduced its
official, or asking, price from $50 to
$3.50, valley. Previously there was
much uncertainty as TO what really
could be done. The only openly made
quotation was $50. but the trade knew
that iron could be picked up for consid-
erably less money The interest referred
to also reduced its asking price on Bes-
semer iron from S32 to $29. valley. AS
to foundry iron, that grade has been
altogether inactive and the old quota
tion Of $2S valley still stands. On a
good sized order, however, this could be
shaded.

Chain Demand No Better.

The chain manufacturing concerns In
this district state that the recent reduc-
tions of $40 to S25 have not brought any
noticeable Increase In demand. Railroad
companies and other large users are buy
ing only absolute necessities, and what
little business is coming through origi-
mates with jobbers.
It has been stated that no additional
reductions will bo made until the prices
on raw material be reduced. The chain
makers depend largely on the Steel Cor
poration for drawn wire and rolled
chain rods and no encouragement u
given regarding lower prices for those
products Tho base price OF 1915 on
one inch proof coil is unchanged.
Iron and steel men Fay that never
before was the scm-fnishcd market SO
dull. A little business Is being done
when buyer and eeler negotiate In
a quiet way. but II IL extremely limited.
Quotations are correspondingly difficult
70 obtain. On large billets prices have
been named as low as $3S.50. although
on one carload OF AKA rerolling bllets
a quotation OF $40 was made. Tho usual
differential OF $3.50 gives S42 price
for small blllets, for which only n limited
demand exists There Is light demand
for wire rods and they are considered
quotabic at S52 TO s57 because inde-
pendent companies have offered conces-
slons OF 81 ton. Not much demand for
