ADVANCE IN WHEAT .
MAY Be CONTINUED
Market Is Now in Position to
Follow Up Price
Increases.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The wheat market seems ripe and
ready to follow any advances of stock
and commodities into long-hoped-for
higher ground.
1t has done pretty well SO far, ending
last week with jump Of cents
bushel In what had evidences Of bar
gain counter" buying. Traders took
profits, but the gains were held.
Besides, the strengthening influence
of advancing security marts, delayed
European harVeStS uncertainty sur
rounding final American Spring wheat
Yields and relatively light offerings OF
new crop grain gave the wheat pit a
buoyant spirit.
There were plenty of setbacks in last
weeks trading, but there existed every
willingness on the part Of boosters 10
overcome them and follow the rush
forward when stocks moved ahead.
One expert viewed the situation in this
wise: The whole world is waiting for
a rise In wheat prices and the time Is
now ripe.
Some traders feel that any continued
advance In wheat must depend on the
attraction of aggressive speculative
support. and this is not certain because
of the lack of demand on bulges. The
export business has been disappointing.
This is the season when the United
States should be doing its rush buSl-
ness abroad This fact has raised n
question in the minds of many traders.
Crop prospects command attention.
The outcome of the Spring wheat crop
still Is uncertain. Private estimates as
of August l place Spring wheat in the
United States at 275, 100000 bushels, or
about 3O,OO0,O00 less than the July
official forecast.
Canadian Spring wheat, which also
was hard hit by hot, dry weather, is
figured in private estimates at 100000
600 bushels. Rain is needed urgently
in many sections now.
Crops in the lower Danubian coun-
tries of Europe have suffered severe
damage. Latest advices indicate an
outturn of only 257O00,00O bushels,
against 367,000,000 a year ago. Har-
vesting in Russia has been delayed. Up
to July 25 the area under the reaper
was placed at 49 900 900 acres, against
72,O00, 900 to that date. last year. Hot,
dry weather has materially lowered
prospects in the Russian Spring crop.
In Central Europe harvests have
been relatively abundant and milling
regulations are being frightened. As
importers, they have taken little notice
of American wheat.
There still continues a disposition to
hold wheat from the markets. Again
last week the Winter wheat receipts
were down, being less than half Of
those a year ago The unusually high
protein has brought reductions in
premiums. The protein of cars tested.
during July averaged 1887 per cent,
the highest average on record. The
protein of last weeks receipts averaged
1899.
Marketings of new Spring wheat in
creased materially, with $50 cars re-
ceived during the week at Minneapolis
and 241 at Duluth. Growers appeared
to be marketing only enough grain to
meet their financial needs.

Why Excessive Fatness
 Overstrains the Heart

Obesity is a factor in the produc- tion of Digh blood-pressure so when the doctor reduces the fat mans weight, he usually sees his blood-pres- sure fall. Every collection of fat cells has small blood-vessels which supply them. It has been estimated that ev- cry pound of fat requires six-tenths of q mile of bl0od-vessels. A man who is twenty pounds overweight is carry ing round twelve miles of excess blood vessels. No wonder his heart is strained. No wonder, either that the life insurance company demands q much higher rate when the applicant is overweight. If one takes the trou- hle to look over the life-expectancy table of the fat man. he understands the old jocose remark: Eat, drink, and get fat and tomorrow you die" and "rhe belt line is the life line reversed."-Dr. Ralph H. Major in The Doctor Explains"

WHY=== Fighters of White Plague
 Adopted Emblem

It was at a meeting of the interna- tlOnal conference on tuberculosis held in Berlin in 1902 that Dostor Sersiron of Pdls proposed that the ancient I.arraine cross he made the emblem of the fight against the white plague. The suggestion was received enthusl- astically, for the Lorraine cross was emlnently suited for such n purpose. It dated back to the Ninth century, when 1t was made the emblem of the eastern branch of the Christian church. To this day it remains the emblem of the Greek or Orthodox Catholic church. From the Eleventh to the Fourteenth centuries the cru saders, through contact with the Eastern church in Palestine, familiar ized Europe with it. Godfrey, duke of Lorraine, a leader of one of the first crusades, saw the cross in Jerusalem and adopted 1t us his standard when he was elected Christian ruler of the holy city in 1909. It IS generally be- lieved that after his return to France it became the emblem of the house of Lorraine. It is still known in France as the Lorraine cross and differs from the Eastern church cross in one re. spect only--the lower bar is nearer the base. In 1906 the National Tuber- culosis association. by special resolu- tion. adopted the double-barred cross as it's emblem, but it was not until 1912 that a definite effort WaS made tO stNndardiZe it for the tuberculosis movement in the United States. The standard tuberculosis emblem now has two horizontal arms of equal length, the part above the arms being shorter and the lower part longer than the cross-arms. The ends of both arms are pointed.

Why It Is North River

The Hudson river is called the North river when it reaches New York be- cause in the territory known to the early Dutch colonists there were two great rivers-the Hudson and the Del aware. They called them simply the North river and the South river. The name North river has survived as local appellatlon partly because it Is in kind with the name East river for the arm of the sea on the other side of Manhattan.

'Let it be expected that soon America will confront union of Japan and Russia. This will confront the United States with a defiance, and at such hour we will be fortunate if un- der the guise of some alleged offense by the United States Russia will not be melted by influences to seize Alaska, her former possession, now dis closed as rich in all resources. At the same time as this invas- ion, Japan will move to take the Philippines for all their us- es. Such a combined move ment would divide American defenses thousands of miles apart. "

Why Dog Is Called "Fice"

Discussing why dog is called flee" Pathfinder Magazine says:
 This word is only a colloqualism or provincialism and varies widely in its spelling. Dictionaries recognize at least four spellings-tst. tiste, feist, and fee. preference being given to fist and fee When spelled st 'fiste or 'feist' it Is pronounced fist that is, the 'i' is long as in mite and the t is sounded. When it spelled flee it is pronounced 'fys' rhyming with ice It means small dog of no particular breed, but is generally applied to dogs os the terrier type. The word is sup posed to be derived from listing dog from the obsolete word fist meaning to break wind"

Why Honey Crystalixes

With such high proportion of sugar it is little wonder that honey crystal izes. This depends on the arrange ment of molecules and the tempera- ture. Dextrose, or grape sugar. as it is commonly called, is the guilty sugar of the group; honeys which have a large proportion of deXtrose as from alfalfa, vetch. and raspberries, crystal ize more quickly than those which have most levulose sugar.
