ORANGES FOR HEALTH

Senator Royal S. Copeland was a
practicing physician before he be-
came health commissioner of New
York city, and United States Sena-
tor from the Empire State. AL
though he has not been active in his
profession for many years it is
doubtful whether there is man
in public life who has consistently
devoted more attention to writing
and talking about health matters
than the New York statesman. In
his newspaper articles, and health
talks over the radio hook-ups sew
eral times a week, Senator Cope
land has been advising the public
to cultivate an orange juice diet.
The broadcasting of his advice has
no doubt had considerable influence
in increasing the demand for orange
juices in hospitals, and in the home.
California seems to have the CEN
ter of the stage in the National Cap
ital these days-as we'll as else
where, and the sons and the daugh-
tiers of the Golden West who have
been in the East have been volun-
teer missionaries in behalf of Sun
kist California oranges, which they
insist are more sweet and juicy than
those raised anywhere else in the
world. The Californians this year
have a bountiful crop of medium
and small sized oranges, which
makes small ones the better buy,
and they explain that Mother Ma
ture models the same quality of
flavor, sugar and juice in a small
orange that she does in large one,
and eff you have any doubt about
it," they add, "just ask your Gov
eminent scientists in the Agricul-
tural Department and they'll verify
the fact that the best goods come
in small packages speaking of
oranges this year.
From all the recommendation
given fresh orange juice on account
of it being an appetite stimulator,
promoter of perfect nutrition, and
golden package of vitamins, as well
as THE source of nearly everything
else that is good for the human sys-
tenn, one almost wonders why some
one has not come forward to sug-
gest a compromise of orange juice
in the battle of sweets VS.. cigarettes.

FLY TIME AGAIN

One of the surest signs of spring
is the early fly. Swat himi
A single fly swatted in April pre-
vents thousands and perhaps mil
lions in July. This filthy spreader
of disease and dirt is still considered
innocent and harmless by many and
for that reason is still tolerated in
many homes, restaurants, stores and
bakeries.
Mans war against disease and
death cannot reach its full measure
of success until everyone begins to
realize that the dirty fly is the
most dangerous animal" that ex-
lists. 1t is credited with causing
more deaths of human beings than
all the beasts of prey and poisonous
reptiles put together. Flies are
known to carry and spread more
than 20 diseases, among which ty-
phoid fever, dysentary, infantile di-
arrhea and tuberculosis are the
worst. They breed rapidly. A single
pair of flies beginning May 1 are
said to be capable of producing
nearly 6,O00,000,000 flies by the last
of July.-The Pathfinder.

"WHAT A LIEF"

At the end of hard day sales
man can say to himself:
What a life! What a bunch OF
saps! What stupidity, what SHIFT
lessness, what insolence!"
Then he can drink cup of strong
tea and settle down to an evening
with a romantic novel.
Or he can say:
what is the matter with me? Am
1 handling my trade the right way?
Why don't they like me? What's
wrong with my proposition?
The point is this: Criticism Of
others is all right as diversion,
but it doesn't get us anywhere. It's
far more profitable to criticise our
selves. -,
Reflection on whats wrong with
me?" won't produce wisecracks but
it will increase sales.

WHEAT OPENS
IRREGULAR ON
TRADE BOARD
BuIIish News Gives Corn
and Oats Separate
Strength.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Oct 81. Wheat
prices opened unevenly lower tt
higher on the Board of Trade today
as the late rally of Wednesday met
with some selling. Better weather
below the equator has brought
higher estimates from the southern
hemisphere, though exports Of Ar
gentine, which has fallen off during
the last week. Early strength at
Liverpool and Buenos Aires was
disregarded as professionals sold
on the bulge. Bad weather gave
corn and oats separate strength
with corn most affected by the I'M
evenneSs in wheat.
At the opening wheat was from
y cent lower to Il cent higher, corn
4 cent lower to Is cent higher, oats
was 1s to % cent higher. Provisions
opened firmly.
Wednesdays advance was cred
tied to large eastern buying, both
for foreign accounts and Specula-
tive interests, the foreign buying
being for distant interests who be-
lieve the farm board action will have
an effect before the end of the year.
This has helped to stabilize the
market and a better foreign demand
is noticeable. Liverpool opened
higher and continued to rise during
the morning. Buenos Aires also was
up at the opening.
1t is still raining over the corn
belt and the forecast is for more
bad weather. Wheat and the
weather were the strong influences
in the market Wednesday when the
closing out of a long December hold
ing caused some weakness. The de-
ferred stock was strong, though.
Oats was quiet and firm, mostly
because Of the cash demand and the
reinstating of recently sold out lines.
The major grains remain the in
f1uence in the absence of any news
concerning oats.

Boat After Chase.

By United Press
BUFFALO, Oct. 31.-TWo men
were wounded slightly early today
when coast guardsmen opened fire
on the Uncas, claimed by coast
guards to be the most notorious ar
NOR plated rum runner on the
Great Lakes, which was proceeding
without lights on Lake Erie, it was
announced today by Martin W. Ras-
mussen, district coast guard COM
mander.
The ship was seized off Cattarau-
gus creek, about two miles east of
Silver Creek, N. Y.
The wounded men suffered leg
wounds when the rifle bullets fired
by the coast guardsmen penetrated
a small wooden section of the craft
not covered by<armor.
According to Rasmussen, the I'm
cas- now known on the lakes as the
Butterfly, had unloaded a cargo of
liquor somewhere along Cattarragus
creek and was proceeding out into
the lake when hailed by the coast
guard cutter.
When it failed to halt after being
chased for a mile, Rasmussen said,
the boat was fired on. 1t was cap
tured shortly after the opening
volley.
