WHEAT RISES
IN TRADING
Better Tone After Decline
at Start

Chicago, Feb. 25.-(By the A. P.)-
Indications of enlarged export bust
ness led to an upturn in wheat prices
today after a decline at the start.
Initial weakness was in sympathy
with lower quotations at Liverpool.
II developed, however, that Argentine
wheat was no longer available at
prices under United States wheat
and that exporters were buying in
this country both at the seaboard
and at points elsewhere. The open
ing, which ranged from 1-8 to 7-8
cents lower with May $1.86 ga to
$1.S7 and July $1.56 to $1.56 3-4 was
followed by material gain all
around.
subsequently estimates that farm
reserves Of wheat have been reduced
100000 bushels as compared to a
year ago, brought about further
advance in prices. The close was
strong. l to "a cents net higher,
May $l.901s to $780, and July $1.5s
20 to SISSY.

WORRY

WHAT is the greatest enemy OF
wv long life? Bright's disease, heart
disease, cancer? No, awful as are these
scourges of the aged, there is one
which is greater. 1t is worry.
Who lives the longest? Those who
have, the least to worry about or the
least fear about the future. Those
who have enough to insure them the
simple necessities of life but not
enough to enable them to indulge in
Injuries or to cause them to worry
about their possessions; in other words,
those who have enough to keep them
alive but little enough to keep them
scratching.
Several hundred years ago, the early
British insurance companies devised
what were called annuities. form Of
insurance which, unfortunately, Amer
lean insurance companies have never
developed to any great extent. Under
this plan, person of any age, having
a certain amount Of money, asked the
insurance company how large an an
they would pay for that amount. The
accountants or actuaries of the COM
pany figured how many years the APP
plicant would live. judging by his age.
his physical condition, work, habits,
etc. On this they based an estimate
Of how much they could afford to pay
each year the insured person lived.
This system is, as you will see, ex-
actly the reverse of the ordinary life
insurance plan. In our American sys-
tenn, If you want policy for $1,000,
the insurance company figures that,
at your age, you may expect to live
a certain number of years. Suppose
your expectation of life, as it is called,
is 80 years; then if you pay one-thir-
tieth of $1,000, or 1888 per year for
80 years, plus margin for expenses
and profit, when you die you will have
paid to the insurance company the
$1,000 which they must pay to your
beneficiary. If you live longer you
pay more and the company makes
more. If you die sooner, you pay less
and the insurance Company loses.
But, in an annuity, if you die be-
fore your time, the company pays less
than they expected, and so make more,
while if you live beyond your time,
you get your annual income just that
many years more than the company
expected to have to pay it to you.
Now hear what insurance officials
say. Mr.. James F. Little of the Pru-
Dental Life says that person who
buys an annuity usually lives beyond
the estimated time. His living is as
sured. 1t goes on as long as he lives.
The same thing is true of pension
ers. Remove fear and worry and you
have destroyed the greatest enemy of
old age.

INJURIES IN ATHLETICS

TN A recent article l told you some
1 thing about a charley horse In
baseball players. This is only one of
the many accidents that may happen
to the football or baseball player. Any
injuries in these games may also oc-
cur in any other outdoor sport, as
skating, skiing, snowshoeing or any
Of the track or field events, in which
sudden, rapid and forcible move
ments are required.
In addition to rupture of muscle
there may also occur sprains of any of
the joints, especially the ankle, wrist,
knee and shoulder. While the fire.
quency of injury of these joints vary
in the different games played, they
are about in the order named.
Dislocations Of the joints and frac-
lures of the bones are comparatively
rare, in view of the violence of the
games, due to the fact that most of
the players are strong and well de-
veloped and have muscles and liga-
ments that can stand the strain. Yet
there are, of course, occasional acct
dents. Probably a season does not
pass in which, some professional base
ball player does not break leg, usual
ly by sliding to base, the foot
catching in bag strap and the force
of the slide twisting the leg so far as
to snap the bone. Almost every foot
ball season, one or more cases occur
of players suffering broken necks from
unusually hard tackles. These unfor-
tunate accidents usually happen to
immature and unframed players.
Considering the thousands of boys
every fall and baseball every spring
and summer, not only in college and
university teams but in high schools
and prep schools, on vacant lots and
back alleys, the number Of injuries
is surprisingly few.
While the ankle is the joint most
generally sprained. the shoulder is
also frequently injured. Dislocations
of the shoulder are especially COM
mon. Now the shoulder joint is a
very shallow joint, so that the arm is
not only easily dislocated but the dis
location is also easily reduced.
Dislocation of the shoulder is seri.
Gus injury and should be treated seri-
ously. If the shoulder is kept quiet
and the arm is not used for at least
two weeks, the ligaments will reunite
and the joint be as strong as ever
But if the arm is used too soon the
torn ligaments are prevented from
growing together again, the disloeation
is very apt to occur again, the Shout
der soon getting in a condition where
the arm slides out ofejoint easily and
is almost as easily reduced. Under
such conditions. not only the joint bur
the arm as well win be permanent,
weakened through after life.
