IrreguIarity Marks Opening,
But Firmer Tone Develops
After Two Hours Trading.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, May. AFTER dis

stocks steadied in the first two
hours trading on the stock exchange
today. Wholesale margin calls were
sent out following yesterdays drastic
decline, and heavy liquidation took
place in the early dealings for the
account OF unprotected holders
However, while further losses were
recorded by many issues, support
came into the market, which, al
though not strong enough to effect q
big rally, brought about e. firmel
tone to the general list. At times
renewed bear pressure was applied
against sugar and equipment issues
but strong resistance was offered
reached. FirmnesS in the cotton and
grain markets was another deterrent
to bear operations.
Professionals made the most OF the
present agitation for lower sugar
prices. The market for these stocks
lacked adequate support, resulting

Danny
Meadow
Escapes.
Mouse

Folks seem possessed the whole world DER
To jump from trouble into more.
Danny Meadow Mouse.
Danny Meadow Mouse was being
carried away in an airplane, which
he called a man-bird. No more
frightened Meadow Mouse ever lived.
He had peeped over the side and seen
the earth far, far. far below him.
Then the wind had blown him back
and he had scrambled into a tiny cup
board and buried himself in bunch
of cotton waste that was in it. He
had become somewhat used to the
terrible noise of the machine, SO that
it no longer frightened him as it old
at first. But the thought of being
way, way up in the air frightened
him as he had never been frightened
before.
For a long time Danny could think
of nothing but that he was way, way
up in the air and couldn't possibly
get down. until that great man-bird
think that he was being carried away
from Nanny Meadow Mouse and the
home he loved so much in the old
scarcecrow. When at last he did
think of it he forgot everything else.
"Ohi OH" squeaked Danny. What
ever is going to become of me? How
will ever get back home again Oh,
dear! Oh, dear me! This is the most
dreadful thing that ever happened"
Then a comforting thought came to
him. Perhaps" thought he, this
man-bird will return where it started
from. Then everything will be all
right" Danny frightened up at the
thought
It was the middle of the afternoon
before anything happened. By that
time Danny had become so used to
the terrible noise of that man-bird
that he really didn't mind it at all.
When abruptly that noise ceased the
stiffness seemed so great as to be al
most worse than the noise. Danny
wondered what was going to happen.
For what seemed long time moth
ing happened Then Danny felt a
little jar beneath him, and presently
that stopped Then he heard the man
who had sat there so long moving.
Danny peeped out. The man was
climbing out of the great man-bird.
Danny's heart gave a great leap of
joy. He guessed right away that the

Fermented milk is useful in treating
certain types of intestinal disorders.
1t is not a reliable food for those in

For most persons it is better to dis
tribute the food in moderate quantities
over three, and even four, meals, than
to omit breakfast and then overload
the stomach at the next meal. On the
other hand, as a remedial measure to
omit a meal when the system is suf-
fering from an accumulation of poisons
from overeating, may be the best pos
Sible cure.

Naturally. we should know much
about any food that cannot be included
within the limits of short discussion,
and this is particularly true in the case
of mushrooms. 1t is possible, however.
to state clearly few facts that may
throw new light on the place that
mushrooms occupy in well planned
diet.
No attempt will be made to discuss
edible varieties as distinguished from
the poisonous; that is too large and
too important a subject for any but
a technical paper.
Among the popular names OF the
most common varieties we find: Beef
steak mushroom" "oyster mushroom" "
etc. 1t may be of interest to remember
that these terms apply not alone to
the general consistency, the physical
form. but also to the food value.
For example, ope variety that is de-
licious either broiled or fried compares
favorably with fowl or lamD or fish. so
far as protein is concerned. In other
words, a pound of mushrooms gives
almost as much of actual body building
food as a pound of fowl or of fish or
Of lamb.

Is it desirable to eat fruit in cases
of acidosis?-Mrs. G. B.
1t is possible for certain conditions
to exist where fruits may not be the
best food for a time. but in general
1t is safe to say that the old idea Of
omitting fruitS in diet for acidosis
has been modified. In fact, many
food specialists prescribe fruit Juices
for just such cases. Fruit juices con-
tain, it is true, certain vegetable
acids. On the other hand they also
contain alkaline substances that help
to neutralize the excess of acids that
are formed in the body during
disease.

Facts About Mushrooms

above, the animal foods that are usu-
ally looked upon as supreme among the
strength givers.
A word of caution here, even in the
light of these facts.
We should not think of mushrooms as
staple food, nor depend on them for
our protein food. Their supreme serv-
ice to the dietitian is that of providing
flavor and appetizing variety. Used to
any great extent, as a substitute, for
example, for plain roast beef or broiled
steak, mushrooms would cause con-
siderable trouble, owing to their indi-
gestibility. Used as a food accessory,
they are valuable.
AS one writer points out. our domeS-
tic mushrooms are fully as appetizing
as those which we import. As a nation
however, we do not care to spend the
time required to learn of varieties or
habitat since an unknown road may
lead to the cemetery" Therefore we
continue to import these delicious deli
cacies, import them dried, import them
canned, not to mention those that come
! to US powdered or bottled in butter or
oil. In this way we know whereof we
eat.
| Incidentally, the imports for recent
years have ranged from 1000, 600 to
| 5000, 900 pounds.
Mushrooms and truff1es have an
honorable place in the history of foods,
having served as food since the time of
Pliny.
