Live Stock Quotations.

The general live cattle market rules
steady under light receipts on the
wharves, and only moderate at the
stock yards. For first quality cattle
there is fairly good demand, but all
under grades are slow sale at low and
irregular prices.
Fairly good demand prevailing for
handy weight veal calves, and choice
lambs which bring top values, but
rough stock is hard to place, even at
sharp discounts.

"FAlTH HEALER" BANNED
AFTER THREATENED RIOT
By the Associated Press.


CHARLOTTE, n. c., September
1.-THE City Commission issued
an order today banning any further
services by Bishop" Grace, faith
healer"
Riot officers called out to quell a
thre atened disturbance by negroes be-
fore the city hall had been successful
at noon with the arrest of a few
leaders and the dispersal Of most of
the crowd.
Only a few score of the negroes
loitered about the municipal square
and these were apparently of curious
nature.
The gathering was the result Of a
request that Bishop" Grace, a
Portuguese, desist from his services
and halt a baptisnal ceremony tomor-
row, in which. it is alleged. he plan
ned to immerse hundreds Of negroes
who professed to have been healed
by faith.
The healer" declared that he had
, violated no laws and hence was un-
der no obligation to refrain from
holding his meetings and bapttzing
his converts.
He declared that allegations con
cerning a SO fee for baptisms were
false, saying that sums given him
were purely free will offerings.

COTTON HAS SLUMP
AND CLOSES WEAK
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 11.-Ap-
prehension Of unfavorable weather
developments over the week end failed
to create much buying power in the
cotton market here today and prices
broke severely in the late trading un-
der liquidation and Southern selling.
December sold off to 17.14, or IA
points net lower and closed at that
figure. with the general market clos
ing weak at net declines of 50 to a.
points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline Of 13 to 18 points in response to
relatively easy Liverpool cables and
a favorable view of early weather re-
ports from the South. There was
considerable Southern selling here
and further liquidation. but the initial
offerings We're absorbed at net de-
clines of about 10 to 20 points, and
prices rallied slightly on the uncer-
tainty of week end weather condi-
tionS.
Fears were expressed that low
temperature would work down into
the Southwest before Monday morn
ing, while there was also u possibility,
in the opinion of some local traders,
that the tropical disturbance reported
southeast of Florida might move
toward the belt. This storm, how
ever, seemed too remote to cause
much anxiety. while it was considered
still too early in the season for talk
Of cold wave to cause Il frost scare
and the market became very weak in
the late trading.
The failure Of the so-called storm
threat to make more buying was a
disappointment to interests who car
ried long contracts over previous de.
clines. This may have been respons-
ible for some liquidation, and the de-
cline caught a good many stop orders
below the 1712-cent level for Decem-
ber. October sold off to 1896, or Al
points net lower. with near-month
liquidation promoted by the reported
arrival of 10000 bales Of cotton here,
presumably for delivery next month.
Reports that one Of the large New
England plants had closed down fol
an indefinite period contributed to the
late weakness. Private cables at
tributed the weakness in Liverpool to

Just outside the door Mamie Riley bent down and kissed my forehead.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal Of the American

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBELN
 Editor Journal Of the American
 Medical Association and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 Histories Of the world seem strangely silent as to the causes for the decline of the great civilization Of the past.
 Moral textbooks emphasize the fact the peoples suddenly became addicted 10 all sorts Of unusual vices. only recently have historians begun 10 fix their gaze upon new evidence which seems to place the responsibility largely on uncon- trollablc, infectious diseases.
 Alexander the Great died in 3o3 E. (. after 10 days of fever. With his death the grandeur of Greece departed. but it was not that factor alone that was responsible.
 There was severe increase of malaria among the Greeks. with a loss of military efficiency, of indus trial ability and of artistic and lit- erary attainment
 Malaria, as pointed out by Francis A. Richardson, has claimed more victims than all Of the wars In his tory. Sir Ronald Ross, who proved that the disease is transmitted by the mosquito. claimed that malaria destroyed two million persons annu- ally. Before the introduction of Quinine as specific remedy for the disease its mortality was even greater.
 Alaric, leader of the Goths, who overthrew the civilization Of Rome in 40 A. D., died probably of ma- laria. Modern scinentists believe that his death and the destruction of his troops were largely due to the fact that they destroyed the aqueduct that supplied water to Rome and that the resultant stagnant water bred mosquitoes which spread ma iaria among the people.
 In all of the great wars. previous to the last, more men died from dis ease than were killed by explosives. Time and again war has been lost because some nation did not under stand how to protect its troops sci enpfically.
 The geography of the world would be even more altered today were it not for what medicine has accom- plished in the control of disease.

 Honey Lou Hun.ley is private secretary to old Grumpy" WalIack, head or the Wallack fabric mills.
 Grumpy" hired Honey Lou, not only because she is clever, but be- cause she is nice to have around. Everyone else at the mills likes Honey Lou. too, from Ann Ludlow the office vamp, to Joe Meadows, the shipping clerk. But Honey Lou iH half afraid Of Meadows without quite knowing why.
 Young Jack Wallack comes to work in his fathers factory 0 learn the business. He falls in love with Honey Lou's beauty the first time he sees her, and later with her prim, old-fashioned ways and her sweet ness. Brought up by her unworid- ly widowed mother Honey Lou is a queer mixture Of modern flapper and clinging vine. She has never 'petted" in her life. and never takes drink. But she has smoked three pI iphi ilS al ELAtSf anu SllE bOF3 rouge her lips.
 At q party given by Jacks neigh bor, Angela Allen, Honey Lou drinks two cocktails, thinking they are fruit punch. and passes out. She makes love to Jack on the way home too, not realizing how she is disallusion- ing him. Neither dooes she know that. while she was unconscious. Angela Allen called her hard boiled" and told Jack she had not two but seven cocktails.
 Angela "rushes' Honey Lou takes her to tea and to lunch. drives her home from the office and warns her against taking Jack seri- ously. She hints 10 Honey Lou that Jack once was deeply in love with her, just as he is now with Honey Lou. And she breeds in Honey Lou the beginning of a love of luxury and fine clothes.
 One night while nargret Moody, Honey Lou's half-sister, is out of town on her summer vacation, her friend, Dr. Steve Mayhew. comes to the house.
 Jack drops in, too, and becomes jealous of Honey Lou. Then few nights afterward he goes to a movie 10 hunt up Honey Lou, and finds her taking part in a Charleston con- test. Furious with her for dancing in public, he goes away, without seeing her. Honey Lou quits her job, and goes to work at hospital with Margret. She hears that An gela has given house party at her country home. including Jack but leaving herself out.

Angela did not, answer her. Her biue- -sray-eyes were on the outer door of the restaurant
 There's Mrs Wallack-Jack's mother. you know" she murmuted. and half rose in her chair to beckon to the older woman.
 Honey Lou watched her come toward them through the sea of bright and shining little tables.
 She saw at oncs why Jack called his mother The Head" She was tall. magniicentIy-maJe woman with a determined chin. the eyes of ana eagle. and commanding nose. 'I 'will'' was written all over her. Even the way she st her feet on the floor had an air of dash and power about it.
 But when Angela introduced her. and she said How d'you do Misl Huntley," her voice was as low and lovely as Honey Lous own mothers voice.

 Danny sat down on the stern and studied things. Tt looks to me said he. "as if l shall have 10 swim if I want to get ashore. But l don't want to swim. That water is moving too fast. I'm afraid it would carry me away be- fore I could get to shore"
 The current was swift right there. Ii was swift and it made out toward the shore. so Danny was quite eXcusablc. You could hardly blame him for not wanting 10 plunge into the water.
 For q long time Danny sat there and studied and studied. "Yes. sir, ," said he, T guess I'll have to make up my mind 10 swim" Right that very instant Danny noticed that rope from the stern of the motor boat to inc shore. He brightcned up right away. "I wonder why I didn't notice that before,' said he. T ought 10 be able to walk that. If l stay here I'll he a sort of pris- oncr. There are only two ways Of getting away from here; one is by swimming and the other is by walking that rope. If I fall off the rope I'll be no worse off than I'd be if I tried 10 swim. I'll just try it."
 So Danny Meadow Mouse climb ed Up on inc rope and slowly and carefully crept out for q foot. Then his heart failed him and he went back. Finally he tried it again, and this time he went q little farther. The farther he went the bolder he grew. Danny was walking the tghtrope. He had almost reached Inc shore when the current swung the boat and gave that rope a sharp twitch. lf Danny hadn't hap pened 10 be holding on with all four feet he certainly would have been thrown into the water. As it was. hc gave q faint little squeak Of fright and then scrambled to, shore as fast as he could go.
 Where there's q will there's way said he as he touched the solid ground once more. But you and l knew that long ago.
