Unfavorable weather during June

anticipated cotton crop of the Low

Products company Of this city, who

bales o. cotton. said after a survey
this week that the crop will probably
not exceed $4,000 bales.
There is a mild infestation Of
both wevil and leaf wcrm," Reagan
said. The worm may be Of some
benefit, by cutting away the leaves
and letting sunshine in to the bolls.
There has been excessive moisture
and the bolls may not open other

POSE, STAMINA AND NERVOUS STABILITY

McCarrison, British army med ical officer, spent many years among certain Himafaya tribes and
 made observations of great inter-
 est and significance to every one 1 who Is concerned with nutrition.
 He attributes most of the digestive
 diseases of civilized people to re- fined diets--our food is too much purified"
 McCarrison found magnificent physique, robust health, long pres- ervation of youth and extraordi- nary nervous stability characterize tic of these Himalaya tribesmen. He ascribed 1t mainly to their diet of milk (of course raw, not pas- teurized or sterilized), eggs, whole grains (not bleached and refined flour or breakfast pap), fruits and leafy vegetables (not just the hearts or pale inside leaves-the outer green leaves which we go commonly discard contain most of the vitamins.)
 Although he was surgean and did all operations which were nec- essary, McCarrison never encoun- tered appendicitis, peptic ulcer, mucous colitis or other asthenic or weakness digestive disorders among these people who naturally eat coarse, rough food as nature provides 1t.

 tone of the same nutritional faults
 which in beriberi lead to loss of in- testinal neuromuse ular control and assimilative powers and to the other distressing symptoms of disease. Poise and stamina, too, are dependent on good nutrition; its failure often leads to instability of the nervous system and emotional imbalance. This is well exempli-
 fled by those women who because
 of capricious appetite or desire
 to become fashionably thin have

 "The person who has subslsted long on a faulty diet shows also grievous lack of endurance, and easy exhaustion. :"
 It should not be inferred. and am sure Dr McLester did not in- tend to imply, that 8 woman who has restricted her diet to a danger ous degree in order to become slim, has only to resume well balanced diet when she finally gets

An all-purpose cream is perfect for youthful complexions and for normal skins that need no special corrective treatments. A good one, made by a reliable house, simpli- flies daily beauty routines, keeps the skin normal and generally is entirely satisfactory until a wo- man realizes that she needs heav- fer tissue cream to alleviate dry- ness. Even then she is likely to keep on using her all1purpose cream as cleanser.
 A three-purpose cream should do three things--clean and soften your skin and leave it ready for makeup. Not that ya1 won't have to use foundation lotion, too. You will, but, if the cream is right, 8 little lotion will go a long way.
 One particularly good cream of. this type is a delicate, pale yell low color, has a sweet, floral odor handsome jars or pink or blue. Furthermore, because of it's rich- ness a small jar lasts long time.

Let this stay on while you are brushing your teeth, pinning on a hairnet to keep the finger wave in place and mas saging hands and arms with hand lotion. Then, again using upward and outward strokes, remove the second coat. Better leave some oD under your eyes.
 In the morning, omit soap and water and use small amount of cream for cleansing. Pat your skin with cold tonic and then put on foundation lotion and makeup. If you have no skin tonic, use cold

 "No." Sheila said. "She won't be coming home tonight. She went away to-day

Would it inconvenience you if left tomorrow, Sheila?" Not a bit. I'll get Gertrude AL len to come in until I get settled. Gosh, I'll miss you Ann. Where are you going? To Greenfield?" "No, to a nice, quiet little place. I'll write you after l get there."
 Just a little place to wait in until she got strong. And then? But she could not look ahead. "The rents due tomorrow. Every thing is happening at the right time" said the practical Sheila, Cant help you pack?'
 "You do need clothes, Ann," Sheila said. 'I hope some day you'll have nice things like mine. You won't get to see them. It will be two weeks before 1 get my things out of the Iay-away'." | ''I want to send you something" /" Ann said. Shall 1t be foolish or practical?"
 Something borrowed. something blue" Sheila sang out. Please just give me some little thing for luck. l know you can't afford to give me anything, Ann" Ann thought of the lovely under- things she had left in the apart ment when she ran away, the ex- quisite silver fox neckpiece, her sable coat, the ermine-trimmed velvet evening wrap, suits, hats, dresses. The ring that was like a drop of white fire. Her pearls.
 It was all like dream now. If she should tell Sheila about the life she had lived for a brief while Sheila would think she had sud- denly lost her mind.
 Sheila said, Ann, if I were you wouldn't raise that window that opens near the fire escape" | "Why?"
 i've seen a man hanging around this block. I've seen him twice. just hanging around. It made me kind of nervous" The same man was standing in the gloomy court, near the steps, when Sheila returned from work that afternoon. Gertrude Allen was with her.
 T beg your pardon" Shetla tried to pass him, but he barred the way. "Is your name Sheila Davis?"
 Well, what if it is?"
 'Is there a girl named Ann Jones with you?"
 What business is 1t of yours ?'' | I'm trying to locate Miss Jones Is there some place where we can talk?"
 Sheiia faced him belligerentIy NO. there isn't. I will say you've a new kind of approach, but I've other things on my mind and you're cluttering up my path"
 Listen here, sister. You've got me wrong. I'm detective" He turned back his coat.
 Sheila smiled contemptuously "Where'd you pick that up?"
 
 Mildred said nervously, Maybe he is 0 detective, Sheila."
 Maybe he isn't. Anyway nobody could make me believe Ann had done anything wrong"
