PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

The effect of the freezing damage
in the Southwest and the foods in
the Ohio Valley was to unsettle the
produce markets TO some extent.
Prices OF southwestern vegetables
advanced sharply, but shipments
continued active and much OF the
gain was lost.
Prices we're again becoming rather
firm on lettuce, onions, and most
kinds of fruit the first week Of Feb
ruary. AS compared with year ago,
reports the Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
apples, lettuce, and peas are higher,
but onions, celery, cabbage, beets,
carrots, beans and spinach lower.
The gain OF about 1900 carloads In
fruit and vegetable shipments the
last week of January was about half
in potatoes. The rest was mainly an
increase of one-third in apples, so
percent in lettuce, 40 percent in car
rots, and 10 percent in oranges.
There were moderate increases for
new cabbage. caulifiower, onions.
sweet potatoes and tomatoes.
Potato Prices Hold
The report of light stocks OF po-
tatoes on hand in January failed to
stimulate the market. the figures be-
ing apparently In line with dealers
Eastern markets were
somewhat irregular without much
change in the jobbing range of s2.25
10 s2.75 per 100 pounds. New York
and Pennsylvania stock sold mostly
around S2.25. Chicago market was
rather firm at 1895 to $40 by the
rarlot, and western shipping points
we're holding prices better than east
arn.
Prices in northern Maine have
been sagging of slowly to around So
n the Presque Isle district. Western
New York holds at $2.25 to $3.50, and
shipping points $40 to
J2.20. Southern. potatoes are still
selling around So a bushel in the
East and Middle West, and are firm
n producing sections at $3.50.
Dullness prevailed in eastern pro-
iucing sections. Growers in the !
Rochester district are getting mostly |
lilo to $1.25 per bushel in bulk. |
Growers and shippers appear to ex-
,ect higher prices later in the sea-
ION. Most Of the remaining stocks
ire held by growers.

The total OF 1922 deaths was lower

Standardizing the rate as against

astrous than with the white. Fall
ure to properly treat the colored
population leaves the white popula-
tion unprotected.
Increased infant deaths from
pneumonia and diarrhea raised the
number of infant deaths to two hum
dred and sixty-nine, including five
non-residents. This exceeded by
twenty the number of the former
year. But for the increased pneu-

AROUND
( THE HOUSE

Testing Hot Fat.-To test the
temperature of hot fat for deep
frying, drop a small cube of bread
into the frying kettle. If it browns
in one minute, the temperature is
right. The frying kettle should
be about half full, never more
than two-thirds. Have a piece OF
brown paper, or an absorbent pa
per towel handy on which to drain
the fried food of excess fat.
Egg Celery Sandwich. - Chop
hard-cooked eggs up fine and sea-
son them with salt and pepper.
Add half as much finely chopped
celery and enough mayonnaise to
make the mixture easy to spread.
Removing Ink From Carpet
Carpets stained with ink should
be treated at once with salt. After
removing the soiled salt, rub with
a cut lemon and finally sponge
with warm water. .
Save Chicken Fat.-Chicken fat
may be used as a butter substi-
tute in cooking. Consequently, il
is a good plan to save the fat
from boiled, stewed or fried
chicken.

FLYING DOCTOR GETS
CALLS OVER RADIO

SYDNEY, Sept. 22.-(UP)-
The substitution of the airplane
for the horse and buggy of the
country doctor in making his
rounds, has made possible a de-
cided increase in the territory
covered.
DR.. L. E. Odlum, the flying
doctor of Australia who has based
his airplane medical service on
Broken Hill, estimates that he
now serves a territory of 500,0
square miles, embracing New
South Wales and parts of Queens
land, South Australia and Victor
ia.
His practice has become so ex-
tended and at the same time so
essential, that the government
has granted subsidy to enable
patients to call him at all times.
Twenty pedal transmitting and
receiving radio sets have been in
stalled in various parts of the vast
territory so that sick people can
call him by wireless.
