NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The market to- day had even more of a holiday appear anee than has been the case the past two days. Trading was very small and the market drifted along with no particular trend to prices. although the undertone was very steady and there appeared to be put few contracts offered for sale A much better spot demand was reported from the south and this gives an under tone of strength, as there is practically. no hedge selling coming from southern markets. There will be a census bureau report on the amount of cotton ginned to December lS, to be issued at the opening or the cotton exchange tomorrow. The National Ginners' estimate is 9,472 900 bales and the figures are expected some where in the neighborhood of this total The trade are willing to accept 10000. .OO0 pales Of lint cotton as the approximate yield from the 1923 crop, and these re- ports have not the same importance as somewhat earlier in the season. sharp falling off in the amount of cotton ginned below expectations might result in an ad- vance. but we do not believe the report will have great influence unless 1t is sur prisingly out of line.

KAHN BROS. & VIRGIN

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 19.-The cotton market was strong most of the day under the stimulus of good spot news and sold S5 to 70 higher at one time. Rumors that one of the private bureaus had. raised its pre- diction of ginnings from 9,472,000 to 9550,000 brought on enough selling and realizing in the late afternoon to cause a reaction of 45 points. The break attracted a good deal of fresh buying, however, and values rallied quickly In the last few minutes and ended the, day about Is points net higher. Spot news reaching the market was of character to indi- cate that spot houses who have com mitments for January are in hurry to buy as much cotton as possible before the end of the year. The basis was higher everywhere, espe- cially on low grades, and big pre- miums are being demanded for the best grades. Announcement that Lancashire and Oldham mills will close two weeks during the holidays occasloned some selling but had lit- tie effect as these mills are in the habit of closing week or 10 days at. this. time. Ginnings of 9.550,000 will bring them over last year when they were 9.4S9,o00. If they do not come over this figure we believe they will be accepted as indicating that the government has overesti- mated the crop 150,o00 to 10000 and will probably stimulated further buying. Spot news is also of such character as to, stimulate buying on all dips.

SECRETS OF HEALTH
AND SUCCESS
WHY A REASONABLE AMOUNT. OF SALT IS GOOD

FOR you.

We may live--in, the sense that
we may exist-for q long time
without adding salt to our food,
but we would soon develop a dis
gust for many foods, for instance,
for potatoes.
Salt added to food is taken up
by the system as salt, remains
salt in the system, and is finally
eliminated through the kidneys as
salt.
IL we take no salt with our
food we continue to throw off.
or to excrete, salt, the chlorine
of which amount, to about seven
ty grams the first day and only
about one gram on the thirteenth
day.
This simply means that, if the
supply is not kept up; the salt
can be pretty thoroughly drained
out of the system.
Then the trouble usually be-
gins.
This is because the salt in the
system, especially in the blood,
is necessary to promote absorb
ton and solutions, and. tissue
changes, all of which are neces-
sary for health.
But you can take and you; prob
ably do take too much salt as a
condiment.
Taken in excess, salt. stimulates
the appetite and provokes thirst

for salt when it is absent from

The craving for salt is particu-
larly strong in the presence of a
purely vegetarian diet, because
food plants contain but little salt,
and much of that is removed by
cooking.
The craving for salt is least in

women older than she. and more
beautiful than she, who were glad

when she remembered this that
Winifred was especially glad she

She only wished that Richard

She planned various ways in

into Muir's face as she spoke the
important words, Perhaps she
would best write to him.
Her mind was busy on Tues
day afternoon as she walked down
Fifth avenue. She felt restless.
and decided to do her shopping
on foot instead of hiring a taxi
cab. The day was too cold for
her to drive In her open car.
AS she stood at the corner of
Fiftieth street and the Avenue
waiting for the crosstown traffic
to halt, she was rejecting that a
closed car was a necessity to her.

matter Of getting car rested
with her now. She need not even

or driven a car, while Donald had
owned automobiles for years and
knew all about them. She might,
after all, ask him what he

A car stopped so close to the curb
on which Winifred stood that she
started back. At that instant the

manded, shaking hands and srnil-
ing his delight at seeing her. Cor,

her to the open door Of his car.
Instinctively, she did his bidding.
