ULCERS OF STOMACH:
 HOW TO TREAT THEM
American Osteopaths, in Convention, Told That Prevention is Best
 Method

Cleveland, O., July 2e.-The best treatment for ulcers of the stomach, which usually result in cancers is pre- vention, Dr. F. " Roeback of Chi cago declared today before the 18th annual convention of the American Osteopathic association. Ulcers of the stomach are caused by "slinker- slouch posture" he said.
 When assuming the posture of the .slinkerslouch' Dr. Roebeck said, the back loses it's normal curve and the individual becomes round shoul- dered, the chest fiat and narrow and the lower abdomen pouchy and bulg- ing.
 Cancers are usually the after re- suits of Ulcers. Ulcers are due to dis turbed nourishment of the stomach.
 When the wall of the lower abdo- men become sagging, the stomach and intestines naturally must drop, in pro- portion and this results in an undue strain on the fragments supporting the first part of the intestine.
 The correct posture should be as- stunned carrying the head and spine erect and the chest we'll elevated''
 Dr. Nettie M. Hurd of Chicago told the delegates that participants in murders, robberies and other crimes often gre unable to resist crime be- cause they have varicose veins in the last portion of the large intestine Dyspepsia and heavy feet she said are symptoms of these varicosities
 Another osteopathic college is to be founded at Kirksville, Mo-, it was stated at the convention.

Mill Spend Recreation Period at
 Weeks Summer Home

Lancaster, N. H., July 26.-Presi- dent Harding will be far away from the madding crowd when he comes to the summer home of Secretary Weeks here next week The Weeks lodge is at the top of Mount Prospect two thousand feet above sea level and 1,24O feet higher than this bustling little border town. It commands a view of all the principal peaks of the White Mountains and also of the Connecticut river with it's right bank in New Hampshire and Vermont on its left. The view from the observa- t1on tower which Secretary Weeks has set up near his lodge has been declared to be the most satisfactory in all the mountain country.
 It will be no new scene to the president, however. As a fellow sen ator with MT. Weeks he was mem- Der of a party that came here from Washington several years and en- joyed a stay at the Mount Prospect lodge. In 1918 he came here again as Chautauqua lecturer and re- newed his acquaintance with the peaks, notches and intervales,
 At Secretary Weeks place the pres ident will have a change from the outdoor camp life which marked hts last weekend. Instead he wfll ind lodge equipped at much expense to make for the comfort of it's master and guests.
 Including his summer home in the town where he was born a farmers B boy, MT. Weeks set ur twe~stery structure atop the mountain with seven chambers, dining room and kitchen on the first floor and on the second, one large room with two fire places and four balconies.
 He owns the whole mountain, eX- cept for single estate on the east slope where former Governor Samuel W. Mccall of Massachusetts has his summer home. Up the side of the mountain the secretary built a mod ern road that gives ready access from the town, three miles distant, to his lodge. It is not only a summer place but a farm center.

 Now the hotel manager can find no one to catch and crate the alligators and his only remaining hope is to fence in the lake to shut out the wa ter-mad bathers and shut in the golf mad alligators.

Reports submitted by wholesalers in

says the bank, "in number of cases

merchandise sold is as largo as that
sold last year. A diagram prepared BY
the bank shows present sales of dry
goods and drugs about normal, while
clothing and shoes are approximately

Available figures" says the bank,
indicate that the production OF basic
commodities during August was larger
than during July. OF thirteen produc-
tion indices given for August nine show
increases, one is the same as last
month and three show slight decreases.
Iron and steel production shows, for
the first time in many months, a Dis
tinct improvement. The consumption
of cotton during August was the great
est in any month since August, 1920,
rejecting an increased demand for cot
ton goods. The woolcn mills are re-
ported to have sufficient orders on their
books to insure full time operations
until next spring. The production of
silk goods, for which there is no avail

Answer-The Lawyers Title and
Trust Company is we'll known large
and reputable company. There is an
honest difference Of opinion in regard
TO the organization of the Denver &
Rio Grande. The road has been sold
under foreclosure and stockholders
protective committees have brought
suit 10 enjoin the transfer of the
property to the new company, The
courts SO far have refused to grant an
injunction and the protective commit
tee which has written to you is at
tempting to raise funds to carry on
the legal fight. The questions involved
are legal ones on which we could not
express an opinion, but to the lavman
this continuation of the legal battle
seems somewhat forlorn hope. Pre-
sumably the committee is acting at 5he
request of holders of certain amount
OF stock and the reason they want you
to deposit yours is in part to increase
the funds available for legal expenses
and In part to have as large part of
the outstanding stock represented in
the price as possible. The whole thing
dates back to the building of the West
ern Pacific. The Denver & Rio Grande
guaranteed the Western Pacific ilrst
Mortgage bonds. The Denver g. Rio
Grande management elected by the
stockholders, made this commitr ent.
When the company failed to meet its
promise the courts ordered the prop
erty sold and, since the stockholders
did not see fit to buy it in other in
terests did so, leaving the stockholders
with certificates, but without rail
road. That is where you are now.

New York Reserve Bank Finds
Retail Trade Brisk
On Pacific Coast

A jump of 20 per cent in the value
OF retail sales between July and
August Is reported by the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in
Il report on business conditions in
the 18th Reserve District.
The value OF net sales during
August of 81 representative depart
nent stores in this district was 6.2
per cent less than the value of such
sales in August. 1920" says the
bank. Approximately tho same per-
ccutage OF decline, 7.2 per cent,
appears in comparing net sales Of
these stores for the eight months
ending August 81, 1921, with the
same period last year. AS the aver
age percentage Of decline during
this period In the selling price of
their wares reported by these stores
Is 20 per cent. it appears that the
quantity OF goods moving over the
retail counters continues greater to-
day than it was a year ago. The
seasonal increase in August sales
over those of July was particularly
noticeable, 80 per cent In San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles. The average
increase throughout the district was

Further Advances in Coitons

Despite the downward tendency Of
the raw cotton market, advances were
made in most constructions Of unfn-
shed cotton goods. Trading in gray
or unfinished cloths was fair, but not
Inordinately active. Prices, however,
continued to advance, due, according
to some brokers, to the approaching
sold-up condition Of mills operating on
a curtalled production schedule. The
standard 6A-60 1914 inch print cloths
made quarter cent advance, closing
firm at ois cents a yard. The bulk
OF yesterdays buying, however, was
done by the bag manufacturers. The
demand for sileeting constructions for
bag purposes appears to be gaining
strength despite higher prices. Eleven
cents was paid yesterday for four
yard aheetings for bag nnrnoses
New-York tribune., 1921-09-30
Suits at $25 Demanded
Reflected i'm Cloth and Yarn
Markets

Strenuous efforts are being made by
mems clothing manufacturers to turn
out suits for next spring that will re-
tail around s25 and $50. To do this,
they assert. cloth must not cost more
than 81 or s2.25 a yard. Accordingly,
goods market.
In their turn cloth manufacturers
are demanding lower yarn prices, but
spinners declare that prices cannot be
lowered now One factor working
against lower worsted yarn prices in
particular is the continued good de-
msand for worsted knitting yarns from
the sweater and knitted cloth manu-
facturers, who are extremely busy at
present. Recent advances Of from 10
to 70 cents pound have been paid for
knitting yarns, and some spinning mills
are booked ahead as far as they care
to go
