VEGETABLE SUPPLY
IN D. c. PLENTIFUL
Dealers Consider Present
Lack of Business as
Only Temporary.

The present slack business in the
wholesale market here is taken opti-
mistically by many dealers to be but a
lull between the heavy Thanksgiving
buying and what they expect to be
the heavy Christmas holiday trade.
All dealers are exceptionally well
supplied with green vegetables for this
time of year, and prices are considered
very reasonable. Sales, although light,
are not alarmingly so and give lndl-
next few days.
Prices on meats, eggs and butter to-
day remained at practically the same
as those prevailing for the past sever
al days Slight increases are expect
ed on some articles between now and
the holiday season, but on the whole
even these articles are not expected
to become alarmingly high.
Celery of an unusually good quality
is arriving from California, while string
beans are coming from Florida. There
are few cucumbers from the latter
State, due to the floods that kept the
best truck farming districts under water
until after the first planting season.

The banks have been selling moder-
ately, but the market is more affected
by the withdrawal of bids from the in
surance companies than by any other
factor They have been the main sup
port during the last few months, and
apparently have stepped aside for
while to watch the course of prices
under the influence of the highest aver
age rates for money this year.
It will be quite difficult under the cir
cumstances for underwriting houses to
bring out new bonds except as they
have conversion privileges into stocks.
This may delay the proposed issue of
about S45,000.000 of Az per cent rail-
road refunding mortgages.
The convertible group acted better
with the support of higher prices for
some stocks. After opening l y to 2
points lower, Andes Copper Is and Ana
conda Copper Is advanced 2 to 3l2
points. Public Service of New Jersey

and Porto Rican Tobacco IS, 2 points.
There were small changes in the oils,
which held steady.
Among the specialties. Wilson Co.
first mortgage 6s and Lorillard Is acted
well, the latter up 10 points from their
low of last month. The sugar issues
were somewhat improved.
Losses in the high-grade rails were
from IA to "a and covered the usually
active issues, including Atchison As,
Union Pacific As, Northern Pacific As,

young Curtis was chosen to sin
from camp under cover of darkness
and make his way to the military
post at Topeka for aid. The Kaws'
horses had been captured, so Cur
tbs made the 60-mile trip on foot IN
less than two days. The cavalry
came and chased the Cheyenncs
away.
But Curtis did not go back. Born
to the saddle, he got a job as a
jockey at Topeka and was riding
in races by the time he was : years
old. He toured large part OF the
west and on one occasion, it is re-
lated, Jesse and Frank James held
up and robbed the box office at the
race track where he was riding. IN
the winters he attended the public
schools, living with his fathers peo-
pie in Topeka.
Increasing weight finally forced
Curtis out of the jockey game, 50
he returned again to the Indians.
The Kaws, travelling west, were
camped six miles out of Topeka. To
Grandmother Julie Pappan's tepee
he went, prerared to join the
tribe. But Grandmother Julie was
wise; she wanted her daughters
child to grow up to be white man,
not a rowing Indian. SO she per-
suaded young Curtis to return TO
Topeka and try to get an educa-
ton.
Worked Way Through School
Back in Topeka young Curtis
sold fruit and candy at the railway
station and worked in stores while
finishing his schooling. He lived
with his paternal grandmother, Par
melia Curtis, who likewise encour-
aged him to get an education.
As Curtis grew oder he felt the
need Of more income. Knowing
horses, he naturally applied to liv-
cry stable owner. The latter gave
him a job as a hack driver. Then
he began the study Of law, often
reading his textbooks by the OIL
lamps on his hack while waiting for
a fare. Impressed by the youths
determination to get ahead, veter.
an Topeka attorney took him into
his office.
At q, Curtis was admitted to
the bar. When he was Is lin 1850
he was ele&ed prosecuting at
torney. Kansas already had pro-
hibition law, but nobody paid any
attention to it. Curtis, however
considered it his duty to enforce it

ever since.

After the Trial
New York Times

UNIV OIk lIIIlcS)
There is neither point nor force in crying out
against the jury that found Mr.. Sinclair not
guilty. Proof Of the charge of conspiracy was
difficult and the government prosecutors were
hampered by the shrewd tactics of the Sinclair
lawyers. 1t is not to be imagined that the
members of the jury favored Sinclair because
he is enormously rich If they had any natural
prejudice it would be against him. It is to be
presumed that their decision was honestly ar
rived at on the evidence as they understood it.
Acquttal in such notorious case does not
mean restoration to public confidence or re-
spect. larger jury has already brought in its
verdict Mr. Sinclair stands legally quit of
the crime Of conspiracy, but on the moral
counts Of his indictment the general judgment
has gone heavily against him. From that no
appeal lies. He is condemned to figure as
man of great wealth who had snapped his fin
gers at its just and unacceptable responsible
tiles. He tempered with one whom the Supreme
Court has declared to be "faithless officer"
Of the government. He sought to cover up his
tracks by the lavish use of money, personally
and politically. That record cannot be altered
Nothing that happened in his criminal trial
at Washington can change it. He will remain
scandal to his class; a public warning to rich
men. tempted as he was, to avoid his example
as they would the plague. For both him and

ligent public has been pronounced and will
abide. AS time goes on, it will be strange if

It's really no longer necessary for
poets to starve in garrets. Down
in Greenwich Village, where most
Of yesteryear's starving poets lived
somehow to write last years best
selling fiction, they have learned
the uptown habit Of being subsid-
lied or getting their meals off
youngsters with money who come
in from the middle west and way
points. The moment an art-stluck
maiden appears with 4 dowry from
the home folks, an an'a:in. num-
Der of muse-wooers appears with
appetites for good food Snd very
ordinary wine.
For some reason or other, the
newcomers are invariably i'm
pressed. To be allowed to sit at
the feet of poets, or whatever theV
are, is sufficient unto itself. It's
far more likely that the poor lit
tie rich kid will starve than that
the ooets will. For they are fast
becoming past masters at the art

or at least that they have con-
WINGED themselves it owes them.

chance" And the Village is filled
with such. But, thanks to the fact
that the very air is charged with
literary ambitions, it becomes cas-
Ter for them to partake Of ham and
eggs.
! Which reminds me that the
Village poets held their final soiree
of the year in a basement coffee
house the other night. The charge
for the dinner was $1.25. Half the

How often you hear the express
sion, "This fever must be broken
up at once or it will wear you out. :"
What . ridiculous statement to
make! How else are you going to
get rid Of fever except by allow
ing it to burn out?
Fever consumes the surplus car
bon, which is the chief cause Of
Of disease. BY this burning up of
carbon, heat IS generated, respir-
alton Is increased, and the breath
comes in short pants. Why is this
heavy breathing necessary? Solely
to obtain that surplus oxygen which
is necessary to burn up the carbon
that Is clogging up and Gripping all
Of the functions. Nature must UNI
load this carbon or you will sue
cumb to it, and it cannot always be
detected because it is all through
the tissues; therefore, the body
must take in extra oxygen to burn
it out.
Fevers only burn up the waste
and poisonous material Of the sys-
tenn and clean out the toxins of
physical corruption. If these pois-
ons could be taken out Of the body
and burned up, it would Of course,
be easier on the patient. But ma
ture finds it necessary to burn up
the poisons where they are, that is,
in the tissues of the body. Temper
AZURE is increased, breathing be-
comes fast, and copious perspir-
alton breaks out on the body. These
indications are only signs Of steps
toward a cure.
Never attempt to break . fever
always try to encourage it, and
as soon as the poisons are burned
up the fever will disappear. Drink
plenty of water if you are thirsty,
as this only assists, by furnishing
the body with more liquid with
which to wash out the toxins. There
is no reason why lemon or orange
juice cannot be put into the water
you drink; in fact, it seems that
these citrus fruit juices really en-
courage elimination by their action
in stimulating the flow of bile.
If your fever is accompanied by
chill, it is a good plan to use
artificial warmth, packing hot
water bottles around the body and
allowing only wooden bed clothing ia
touch the skin so that when per-
spiration is produced it will be tax.

Do not take any remedy" to cure
your headache, as this will onl,
interfere with the natural elimina.
ton processes going on.
Do not be afraid Of becoming ex.
hausted, for the more relaxed your
body becomes, the more you will
perspire, and the quicker your fever
will disappear, as the poisons are
more easily thrown out through The
eliminative organs when the body il
relaxed.

Ever since Colonel Lndbergh reached Paris,
every American has been worried by the
thought that he would persist in his daring
exploits until some accident would befall him.
And yet any other than hero's death, under
dramatic circumstances would seem illogical.
That an aviator adventurer should die in the
air seems as natural as that warrior should
die on the field of battle
Perhaps back of all this philosophy is the
regret that prcvcntable and durable disease

greater achievements and still greater service.

in case of a fever you should go to
bed and not try to flight" the fever.
If pain exists in any part Of the
body and you feel that you are
developing a fever, take your tenn
perature, and if it is at all above
normal, jump into bed between
wooden blankets and start sweating
as soon as possible. If your bowels
did not move well the last day or
two, take an enema before you
start sweating, and allow this
sweating to continue every hour Of
the day and night until your tenn
perature has been reduced to the
normal.
There is very little danger of
fatal termination of fever if you
will follow these simple methods.
But beware of any method which
will interfere with the throwing out
Of the toxins which were responsible
in the first place for the develop
ment Of the fever.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mrs. X. H. asks: Car
a dead tooth cause neuritis or rheu-
matism if the tooth shows no pus-
bag in X-ray picture
Answer: 1t is possible to develop
neuritis or rheumatism from alb.
scessed teeth. X-rays cannot be de-
pended upon as a positive diagnosis
Of pus-pockets at the roots of the
teeth. X-rays are very valuable
aid to diagnoses, however, and l
advise patients to have their teeth
X-rayed about every six months.
Send for my special articles or
rheumatism.
Question: R. J. asks: with the
diet that you recommend, could l
drink water from roasted barley
that / use as substitute for
coffee?
Answer: The only drink I rec
ommend with meals is plain water
but the water from roasted barley
would be quite harmless if you dc
not use sugar and cream with it.
Question: Mrs. K. S. writes: Il
have been going by your instruc-
tions for nearly a month and have
been successful in reducing my
weight Is pounds. l do not know
my normal weight and wish you
would tell me through the columns.
I am 25 years old, and my height
is feet, 81. inches"
Answer: A proper estimate of
normal weight must depend not
alone on the age and height, but
upon temperament and type. You
do not say whether you are a man
or a woman, bat your writing has
a feminine look, and / would say
your weight should not be under
120 or over 140 pounds. This is
the best guess l can make without
knowing more about you. Send me
a snapshot Of yourself in a bathing
suit, and perhaps can make a
better guess of what your normal
weight should be.
