Corn and oats after being easier

COTTON PRICES
SLIGHTLY LOWER
Anticipations on Crop Report
and Estimates Cause
Market to Lag.

NEW YORK June 2s.-The anti
cipation OF a more favorable report
on the new crop situation and out
look from the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington on Friday
afternoon for the June 25th condi-
tion overshadowed everything else
on the cotton markets In today's
trading. The general expectation
here and at Liverpool was that the
report would show an improvement
OF about 4 or points in the condi-
tion of the crop from the 66 per cent
on the governments figure for May
IS. This would bring the condition
up to between 70 and II per cent
against 7o.7 to June Is. last year
and 1871 the lo-year average condi-
tion for that date.
There was a good deal of profit
taking on the Liverpool market by
recent buyers there. with the result
that cotton futures for the general
list closed with a net decline of 13
to IA English points on the day
against to points advance due
to have met our closing prices OF
yesterday. This offset the rise of -
points in spots of early in the morn
ing to 7.43d for middling with the
days spot sales 5000 bales. Liver
pool houses were also moderate SELL
ers on balance here during the morn
ing. These advices together with
some beneficial showers In parts OF
the Carolinas and Georgia over
night where they had been needed
and generally fair weather else
where, gave our market reactionary
tendency from the opening.
Selling predominated sufficiently
throughout the forenoon to send
prices off Is to 16 points from yes
terday's closing with July dropping
back to liz cents: October. IL %:
December. 1870. and January. 12.7S.
The selling movement seemed to run
out at these levels and then some
covering of shorts during the after
noon rallied the market about to
points from the lowest during the
last hour trading. The days ex-
port clearances posted up to 2 o'clock
were 26,o79 bales including nearly
$4,000 for Japan and China and the
balance to other continental points.
Most of the Southern spot markets
were unchanged from yesterdays
closing quotations. The Weather
Bureau reports a tropical storm
moving toward the Texas coast
from off the northwestern point of
Vera Cruz. Apprehension this might
reach into the coast regions of
Texas tomorrow was one of the prin-
cipal factors causing the covering
movement among local shorts in the
late trading

In Teething
Time

For teething children who may
need something to bite on nothing
is better than rusks, which can be
bought at any bakers, and are
much more nourishing and eeono-
micsl than the crackers sold for
this purpose. and can be thrown
away when .soiled. Any one can
make those rusks at home from
bread dough.
Hard baked oatmeal cookies are
good also.
If baby doesn't sleep well at night
try this plan: At bedtime remove
all clothes and give a warm bath.
then rub all over, especially back:
put on different clothes and feed;
then put to bed for night.
Never give babies those rubber
pacifiers to suck. Besides causing
wind to collect in the stomach
they have caused canker in the
mouth.
If baby is fussy a little lukewarm
water will generally quiet her till
next feeding.

Advice to
LoVelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
MOTHERS RIGHT.

DEAR. MISS FAIRFAX:
l am only fifteen, but all of my
life has been spent in a nursery,
and then when / attained the age of
twelve, my mother sent me to a
boarding school to study Latin,
Greek mythology and geometry.
When / became fifteen, 1 decided to
do as other girls. to wear my hair
up and to go to dances.
Mother still clings to the ancient
idea, that girls should wait until
they are eighteen to make their
formal debut. But l differ. l think
that when a girl is fifteen or six
teen that that is the best part of
her life and that she should enjoy
it. What do you say, Miss Fair
fax? A CONSTANT READER.
p. S.-Please agree with me so
that mother will let me go to a
Georgetown prom.
What a wise little head you have
on your shoulders to recognize at
the age of fifteen that these days
are the best part of your life! most
Of us realize that fact when we are
about thirty-five.
But your mother Is quite right in
her decision that you shall wait until
you are eighteen to make your for
NAL bow to society, and thus be put
on the marriage block. probably to
the highest bidder. However, do
not believe his decision should pre-
clude your attending a Georgetown
prom or any other good times. Fiji
teen is the age at which you should
have many good times at parties
and dances with girls and boys of
your own age. But too young to
enter that magic Ito many girls)
circle called society.

Safeguarding
Il Health
By Brice Belden, M D..

THE best way to safeguard
ones health is to have a re-
= serve of energy which. al
though not called upon COR use In
ordinary circumstances, can Re used
during times of strain upon :he
system.
To obtain this reserve we mist
observe certain laws of nature.
Many of these laws have to do
with the ordinary hab is which
one would think to be merely
matter of instinct. but whicN in
many cases have actually to be
taught to the individual in order
to save him from himself.
Proper breathing, for instance. is
very necessary to the well-be'ng
of the whole system, and this seems
to be a thing which would almost
always develop naturally in most
cases.
AS matter Of fact, however,
many children and good many
adults are naturally deficient in
this particular phase of their de-
veiopment and need to be taught
how to fill their lungs in the proper
way.
In educating children or adults
in the methods of safeguarding
their health an important step is
that of showing them exactly why
their health will be improved by
cultivation of normal methods of
living. The improvement of the
way in which one may breathe is
a good example.
When the lungs are not COM
pletely expanded the air which is
already in them becomes stagnant
and the oxygen supply so neces-
sary to the blood is impaired. This
state of affairs also encourages
the growth of germs and does not
improve the condition of the lung
tissue.
other important factors infiuenc-
ing the health are the quality OF
the air breathed, that is, how much
oxygen is contained in ii, and the
amount Of air in the indoor living
