I am not declaiming against

What am grieved over Is the

that they win be a tonic to the
system as well as a boon to the
figure. It may all be true. The
various anti.fat remedies may be
wonderful in their power to pro-
duce the slender. girlish figures
we all crave.
But what I want to know h
this: Why are we such self
indulgent creatures that we must
lunch on ice cream sodas and
doughnuts. knowing that our fig
ures and our compilations will
thereafter be laid up for repairs?
Why not take a few precautions
to prevent the accumulation Of
fat instead of indulging ourselves
in every possible way until we
are ungainly, unsightly creatures
and have to destroy the tissues
we need never have built up?
Self-indulgence is the bane Of
our race. We let ourselves be-
come the slaves Of appetites
which need not have acquired a
hold on us if we had valued them
properly in the beginning. Hav-
ing a habit is one thing. Letting
a habit get you is another. And
whether it is gin or tobacco or
chocolate ice cream soda that
you can't resist, in the end You
become weak in proportion to
your yielding, not merely in pro-
portion to the thing to which
you have yielded.
Women yearn for beauty. Fac.
ial creams, cosmetics, reducing
baths and messages are fine
things in their place. but they
cannot take the place Of common
sense and wholesome diet and
exercise.
Women long to be loveable.
But they refuse to make the
little efforts which would produce
beauty, symmetry, and grace.
Daintiness and neatness, sweet
ness and cleanness are part Of
a woman's charm. It is absurd
to let your teeth go. because when
they are just about ruined, our
wonderful dentistry can save them
for you. 1t is absurd to let
your body go because there are
50 many ways Of patching it up
again when it is just about broken
down by your carelessHiess and
self.indulgence.

These two states which in 1914 pro-
duced "a per cent of the crop of
the United States in 1923 produced
SO per cent. In 1924 the acreage
under cotton in Virginia, Missouri
and Kentucky probably will expand
and cotton growing will be attempt
ed on small scale in southern Hi
nois. Experience thus far shows
that climatic conditions in these
northerly and westerly areas afford
at least partial protection against
weevil damage.
even if weevil control in infest-
ed areas and cotton growing out
side of them should prove to be an
effective measure for material
expansion of the American cotton
crop it does not follow that such
expansion will mean low-priced cot
ton. If the efforts to secure large
yields despite weevil infestation
should result in crops large enough
to depress the price, the area under
cotton in wsevil territory would be
reduced quickly. Costs of produc-
ton under weevil conditions would
make such reduction imperative.
In those states in which weevil
hazard seems to be less serious and
In which cotton growing has ex-
banded recently, cotton is an alter
native crop to a much greater ex-
tent than it used to be in he old
cotton belt. Many growers have
had successful experience in other
types of agriculture and they Would
turn promptly from cotton to other
crops if the cotton price became
unfavorable. The evidence seems
conclusive that although the United
States crop may fluctuate very
widely in the years to come as
result of the combination Of wealth
er and weevil hazard, steady sup
ply of cheap cotton is not sight
from that source.

the crop grown ihS countries other
than the United Staes must have
been from 100000 to 100000
bales higher than the average for
19O1-15 and in excess Of all pre-
vious records. Since the gain was
unquestionably the result of uncer-.
tainty as to Americ an supplies and
consequent high prices it is Of lit
tie significance as evidence of the
sbility of other countries to pro-
duce cotton cheaply.
'There is no cottpn-growing area
Of the world which promises to
duplicate the conditions of the old
South, namely, production of cheap
cotton by means of extensive agri-
culture carried on low-priced ana
fertile lands by means Of abundant
supplies of cheap and relatively
efficient labor. In the United
States and elsewhere the situation
might be altered radically and sud-
denly by mechanical inventions
which would lessen the labor costs
of cotton growing just as the inven-
ton of the cotton, gin revolutioniz-
ed the industry in 1893. If sup
plies of cheap cotton are not assir-
ed an adjustment eventually will be
made between supply and demand
at higher price levels. In such
countries as India and China, where
the purchasing power of the masses /
is very low, it seems not probable |
that the result of such an adjust
