BERLIN, April 80.-Reacting to
many varied impulses, the market for
foreign currencies during tho week was
Jumpy, with wide oscillations taking
place in the course of q few hours,
The foreign situation has again been
the decisive factor, with ups and downs
following Poincare's utterances and re-
ports of Americas readiness TO grant
Germany large lean all playing 4
part in determining the movements.
The dollar, which began the week al
263, sank momentarily Tuesday to y37
This produced brief feeling of panic,
for although Germany as whole can
in the long run benefit only from ap-
probation Of her currency, the private
interests Of business men hero, espe-
cially manufacturers for export, lie in
the opposite direction.
The stock market, on the whole. re-
mained apathetic, the underlying feel
ing being one Of uncertainty as to the
future, which tended to restrict deal
'ngs. Continued shortness Of money
also acted as wet blanket on specu-
lation. The latest return of the
Reichsbank shows some relief, but this
Is customary in the third week of the
month. Treasury bills held were re-
duced by 2,097 100000 marks and the
circulation of paper money by 1,416,-
100000 marks. Gold deposits at the
Bank Of England increased by nearly
100000 marks, being now 41,300,OOO.
1t is announced that from tomorrow
until the end of August imported coal
will be freed from the coal tax. This
measure is undoubtedly due to repro
sentations of the raw iron trust, which
has twenty blast furnaces idle for lack
of coke, while the railways are using
this type of fuel because they cannot
get coal. 1t is proposed to import Eng
lish coal and exchange it for coke the
railways have lying in their yards.

Prudence could afford 10 smile

III EADING while eating is not
IN, a hygienic practice. An ex-
ception may be made, how
ever, In the case of humorous
writings.
Fast eating is very injurious.
1t means much harder work for
the stomach, and is a common
cause of gastric catRrrh, not to
speak eof worse conditions.
Through slow eating and
thorough mastication we can do
with less food, since nutrition is
directly favored because of the bet
ter digestion. Thorough mastica.
ton means proper exercise of the
teeth and better circulation
around their roots, upon which
their integrity largely depends.
Whether we should rest or exer.
else after meals depends upon in
dividual variations. Weak persons
should rest. Those who are equity,
rheumatic, diabetic or abese should
exercise a little. In general,
a short walk should be taken, after
which rest should be INDUCED in.
Mental occupation after eating is
best not resumed for an hour.
Meals should be eaten every dIy.
at the same time, and under nor
NAL conditions we will be hungry
when the hour of eating arrives.
II Is well to eat in company, II
possible, as this favors slower
eating. better mastication, and, II
the company is congenial and
jovial, more gastric juice will he
secreted.
Strenuous exercise Just before
or after meals is not hygienic,
since fatigue lessons the amount OF
gastric juice.
A common error Is the eating
of too much bread, which conducts
TO acid fermentation and obesity.
Bread Is not very easily digesteo,

and ferments than does meat,
