the New York markets at 80 cents to
$l.25 per SO pounds. These sell at 81
in the Rochester district, and prices
are much the same in Michigan pro-
ducing sections.
Carrot Demand Slow.
The demand for carrots Is rather
slow and prices about steady at 81 to
Sl.05 per 100 pounds for sacked un-
washed stock in Eastern country ship
ping points. Most of the carrots in
cold storage are held for higher prices,
up to $50 ton for best lots. Prices
are unchanged in Eastern city
markets.
Prices of Eastern cabbage have
held at s19 to $40 per ton sacked at
carlot shipping points. Demand has
slowed down, but prices nave held bet
tel than those in Southern producing
sections, where bulk stock is selling
at $3.50, compared with SIT to $40
month ago.
Apple trade is dull in Eastern pro-
ducing sections, both for the domestic
trade and for export. BaldWinS have
been selling mostly at 80 cents bushel
in the Rochester sections and Green
ings around 81.
Most sales of good apples OF stand
ard varieties still range rs cents to
$12 in Eastern cities The low price
Of Southern Yorks is blamed for con-
tinued lack of demand for the Bald
win. Prices in Midwestern markets are
much the same as in Eastern cities,
ranging mostly 81 to SIPS per bushel
in Chicago.

PRODUCE MARKETS
ARE MORE NORMAL.
Shipments of Vegetables
and Fruits Register Gain
of 10 Per Cent.

The produce markets were gradu.
ally getting back to more normal con-
ditions after the middle Of the month
according to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Shipments of fruits and vegetables
increased 10 per cent the second week
of February and continued fairly ac-
tive, although still Is to 20 per cent
less than they were year ago. Re-
cent increases were mainly in Far
Western and Texas produce, but ship
ment gains were mostly small to
moderate, except the one-third larger
output of potatoes.
Much of the accumulation of stocks
showing frost damage had been moved
earlier in the month and somewhat
better demand prevailed for most
fruits and vegetables. Potato gains
were holding fairly well, but market
was becoming unsettled.
Onion and cabbage markets showed
irregular tone, slightly weaker in the
East. AS rule, the MidWsStern
produce markets were holding better
than those in Eastern cities.
Shipments of Southern produce
tend to increase in late February and
through March and April, and the
main price trend in this group is
downward at this time of year.
Potatoes About Steady.
Prices of potatoes showed a few fur
ther scattering gains, but most mar
kets were no more than holding pre-
vious gains of to 20 cents per 100
pounds. Price range in carlot ship
ping sections was mainly $120 to
Sl.30 in the East and Middle West
Prices in Northern Maine weakened a
little, sacked No. l stock selling at
$115 per 100 pounds.
Jobbers continued cautious, fearing
q decline as soon as weather condi-
tions permit more active shipments.
Eastern markets report moderate to
liberal supplies, rather slow demand
and weaker market tone.
Demand for onions is reported slower
In Eastern producing sections. Ship
ments have continued in moderate
volume. There have been few sales
of carlots in Western New York. and
many shipments are on orders placed
earlier in the season. Considerable of
the remaining stock is in cold storage.

of Iowa and the City of New York more
people were killed in home accidents than in
automobile accidents?
Slips and falls are the commonest type of
bathroom accident. The slippery floor, the
glossy tub, wet hands and feet, the soap slid
ing along the bottom of the tub. all contrib
ute to make fall easy - and too often fatal.
Even when they don't prove fatal, slips and
falls are prolific trouble breeders. For every
home accident death there are four perma-
nent disabilities and more than lao temporary
disabilities. The Cook County Hospital, in
Illinois, found that the average hospitaliza-
ton for the more serious Of these temporary
disabilities amounted to three weeks, followed
by seven more weeks of disability at home.
Which tends to make the home accident
sound less comical!
And surely anybody can think of more en-
joyable ways of spending the $128 cash out
lay which the average home accident costs!

Burns and scalds rank next to falls as a
bathroom hazard. It is difficult to understand
why people can't try the water before getting
under the shower or into the tub. But many
don't to their soTrow.
Many others become involved with heat in
the bathroom in other foolish ways One man,

Heat causes trouble in the bathroom in
another fashion. People who are elderly or
unwell may be overcome by the stuffy humid
ity of such a confined area and slip under the
water. And drowning in the tub is not re-
mote possibility. The Chief Medical Ex-
aminer of New York City reported ten deaths
from submersion in bathtubs in single year.

In the final analysis bathroom safety il
just plain horse sense which can be summed
up in few simple rules:
Safeguard your tub or shower-stall with
vacuum grip rubber mat to prevent falls.
Have substantial hand-hold on tie wall
beside the tub or inside the shower.
Use porcelain rather than metal electric
light fixtures to reduce the shock hazard.
If you can't do away with the brass chains
on bathroom lights, insert an inailator in each
one. Or tie a pull string at the end.
See that no electric switch comes within
aims length of the bathtub or wash basin.
Use only the finest grade extension cords in
the bathroom - excessive humidity can con-
vert an inferior cord into Tive wire" Best
of all, keep wet hands away from electrical
apparatus.
Use a fairly rigid soap oontainer - and
never get in the tub while cake of soap il
loose on the bottom.
Keep hot water faucets in good repair and
avoid the risk Of a dangerous scalding.
Never leave a small child in the tub or
even in the bathroom by himself.
And, last but not least, find out how hot the
water is before you get in. not after.
Simple precautions, surely. But with them
you can at least take bath without taking
your life in your soapy hands!
