to use it in clever combination

not only gain nutriment, but will
become more palatable and salts
tying because they have a meat

Nuts, cheese, bits of meat or

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-Steel and railroad shares stiffened a little today after a general decline in early trading.
 Tobaccos and food shares were conspicuously heavy.
 Early losses of one point or two in United States Steel and Beth lehem Steel, also Allied Chemical, were about regained in late trad- ing.
 New York Central, Santa Fe and Illinois Central were off a point.
 American Tobacco, common, lost 5z points, and B stock lost 4 points. This reflected the declara- ton that only regular dividends would be paid. Some brokerage circles look for extra tobacco divi- dends at the next quarterly meet ing.

 The Public Health tests also re- veal that the heaviest man is not necessarily the strongest and most enduring.
 . The ideal weight for strength and endurance, the tests indicate, is be- tween 160 and ITO pounds.
 For each ten-pound increase in weight there is a corresponding in- crease in strength until the 160- 169 pound class is reached. other factors being held constant.
 Beyond the l70-pound mark how ever, the relation ship between weight and strength becomes err ratio.

MORE YELLOW METAL TO BE PRODUCED NOW Experts Are Already Per- fecting Plans for h.
 crease in Mining BOTH COMMODITIES
 AND LABOR CHEAPER United States Third in World Production
 Canada Second

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Although various obstacles are in the way, efforts are to be made during the coming year to increase the pro- duction of gold in the United States.
 Experts are now perfecting plans to get the yellow metal out Of the ground.
 The present incentive is due to the low cost of commodities gen. erally and more reasonably priced labor than for a number of years.
 As a fact there is a fixed price for gold of $20.60 cents an ounce and going mines can make money.
 Producers intend to strike while the iron is hot.
 For the first time in many years, the United States is third among the world producers of gold.
 Canada has increased production and is in second place. ~e The 1881 production of gold il the United States will be around 2,200,000 ounces. Canada's produc- tion will be 50O000 ounces more.

Man in Prime T,centy Years
 After He Has Passed Thirty

WASHINGTON, D. C., Got. a. A mans prime" as far as physical strength is concerned lasts about 20 years, the U. s. Public Health Service has decided.
 Men of 50 in normal health are as strong, on the average, as they were at 30, according to tests re- ported in the Public Health Bulle- tin. A mans physical powers reach their maximum at the age of 30 and remain fairly constant until 50, when they begin to decrease.
 Strength was measured by tests of push, pull, lift. grip and lung force. Lung fatigue, measured by the amount of time a column of mercury could be held at certain height with one breath, was found to vary little between the ages Of 15 and 50.
 The human body seems to be better equipped for pushing than pulling, the tests reveal. Pulling strength starts at about 60 pounds

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. D. Mighty Manchuria, powder mill" of conflicting Chinese, Japanese. and Russian interests, is the prom ised land" of the Far East.
 An empire in itself, this huge dependency of China has millions of acres of soil as fertile as the black loam of Iowa, rich mineral producing areas and great timber lands The most efficient railway system in Manchuria is the Japan csc operated South Manchuria line.
 While adverse trade conditions now prevail due to the world busi- ness slump and the low value of silver, the Manchurian market is described as one of tremendous potentialities.
 War Serious Setback
 A protracted war between China and Japan obviously would mean, trade experts here say, a serious setback for American and other foreign industrial enterprises there.
 Japan, of course, has the largest foreign business stake in Manchur- ia, one she holds as vital to her position as a world power.
 It is one of the essential sources of her coal and iron and she also receives from these considerable food for the teeming millions in Ja- pan and Korea. Other products of Manchurian fields, forests and mines, pour into Japanese factor les.
 Manchuria is also great con- suming market for Japanese prod ucts such as cotton piece goods, small machinery and miscellaneous articles. Over the Japanese oper- ated railway great cargoes of soy beans, cereals, millet and furs are shipped out of the Manchurian provinces.
 [ In recent years more than mil- lion Chinese are estimated to have annually fled the famine stricken regions of the south to seek food and breathing space on the plains where the sod huts of homestead CTS spring up along new railway lines.
 Dairen Big Post Dairen in the Japanese leased territory of southern Manchuria has risen from thirtieth to third { among Chinese ports. In 1928 it handled more shipping tonnage than any American port except New York.
 Manchuria's share of the total net imports into China in 1929 was 18.8 per cent and of exports from China g per cent.
 American trade with Manchuria that year amounted to $23, ,229, ,00O or about GA per cent while Japan's share including Korea was ap- proximately 54 per cent and Rus sia's 9.5 per cent.
 ] The chief imports from the Unit ed States are wheat flour, petrol cum products. railway locomotives machinery, auto m o i've vehicles leaf tobacco and raw cotton.

State Department Making Investi'
CATION of Possibilities of Inter
national Conference.

Means of bringing silver back to q
point where its production will be
profitable are being investigated by the
American Government. A Senate res
olution asking President Hoover to open
negotiations looking toward an inter-
national conference to discuss the sill
yer problem has been referred to the
State and Treasury Departments for
study.
The administration Is concerned over
the steadily falling price of silver, but
on account of international complex
tiles has asked the State Department
to make a thorough study before action
is taken.
Chief among the problems is the re-
adjustment of silver production to
domestic consumption brought about
largely by the introduction Of the gold
standard in India.
The possibility of Great Britain call
ing or becoming a party to an inter-
national meeting involving one OF the
major problems of India is not regarded
here as very bright.
The question of Oriental trade, both
of this country and other nations, would
likely come under discussion at a
silver conference, 1t Is believed. Oriental
trade, In the opinion of Government
ofIicials familiar with the subject, all
ready is q contentious point in inter-
national circles.
