QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. How long was the artist
Whistler employed in the Coast Sur
vey in Washington ?-D. M.
A. After being discharged from
West Point for deficiency in chem
istry, Whistler secured a position
with the Coast Survey where he re-
manned three months and five days.
One day the young draughtsman
sketched a caricature in the margin
of plate of some charts. These ap-
peared when the plate was dipped in
acid. Whistler was dismissed for the
prank.
Q. How much longer does 1t take
cold water to leave the stomach
than it does hot water ?-J. M. L.
A. According to DR.. William
Beaumont, one and one-half hours
are required for six to seven ounces
of water or other common beverage
to leave the stomach. Hot drinks do
not leave the stomach more quickly
than cold ones.
Q. Are birds animals &c. T.
A. Birds are the most highly de-
veloped animals except the manuals.
They are of class of warm -blooded
vertebrates distinguished from all
other animals by the body being COW
cred with feathers. They are de-
scended from the reptiles, which
they resemble anatomically.
q. How many pounds are there
in a bale of siApl?-M. M.
A. The Department of Agricul-
ture says sisal and henequen are
usually packed in bales of approx
mately 400 pounds each, though the
weight varies from a little over 800
pounds to more than 500 pounds on
different plantations. The manufac-
turers would prefer to have uniform
bales of 400 pounds.
Q. How are bayberry candles
made ?-L. j. b.
A. The berries are collected from
the bayberry bush and boiled in
pals of water. The wax rises to the
top, is SKINNED off, and boiled
again. Regular candle wicks are cut
the desired length, attached to rod
dipped in warm water and then
dipped into the pail of wax several
times. Allow the wax to harden
between times. The wax should be
kept just warm enough to be in a
liquid state.

YOUR HEALTH
Hygienic Aids in Reading
BY DR.. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON

The right kind of habits in read
ing must be formed by school pupils,
in order that eye strain and fatigue
of the ocular muscles may not pro-
duce disturbed vision and other eye
troubles. This may mean glasses
and eye troubles throughout later
life.
The position and careful adjust
ment to light conditions when read
ing cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. Do not try to read with poor
light, during the day time or at
night. Whenever possible the light
should be nearly on a level with the
top of your head or just above il
and should illuminate over the left
shoulder.
See that your book is held at the
proper angle of about 18 or 20 de-
grees and in such a position that the
top and bottom of your book page
will be equidistant from the eyes.
Otherwise much eye strain and mus
cular accomm odation will severely
tax the eyes and produce drowsiness
and dim vision.
The proper distance for normal
reading is about IA inches from the
eyes. Usual book type is clearly
leg!ble to the normal pupils eyes at
a distance of 20 inches. Clear type
at more than this distance may indi-
cate the beginning of hyperopia
(far- r-sightedness)
Beware of reading in bed, in re-
cumbent position and with poor
light. In this position there is a
strong pull or strain on the eve
muscles of downward rotation, while
the head is usually bent so that it
encourages ocular congestion.
Hold the head erect at all times
when reading, with the book on the
level with the eyes. This will insure
relief from ocular congestion. 1t
will also be a sure prevention from
a tendency to round shoulders and
a contracted chest.

The close was practically at the lowest
 Much of the selling of the day was done on runiors of fairly large ginning during the last ginning period. As the decline proceeded liquidation. in a large way came from the long side and late in the day stop loss orders in considerable volume were caught on the long side. Heaviest selling followed the rumor that a private bureau report on ginning, which it was generally expected would be bear sh. would be issued after the close of the market. Early selling followed the rumor that private report had been is sued which placed total ginning prior, to the first of December at s,065,00O bales, indicating ginning for the period of 6sS,- 900 bales against only 450,0O0 during the same period last year.

 With May delivery of wheat show ing at the start today an upturn of cents from last weeks minimum prices, there was a noticeable ab- sence of any aggressive buying, al though on setbacks the demand in creased somewhat and rallies ensued. At one time, slight transient gains were scored in consequence of word that German proposals for floating loan would have the moral support of the United States and that Italy would need to import about S7,- 000. coo bushels of wheat Talk of A German loan has been current so often before, however, that skeptlcism m the subject was but little moved, and in regard to possible buying for italy the bears questioned whether under present circumstances much 1T any of the wheat purchased would come from the United States.
