Tobacco. another leading farm
export. has been exceptionally hard
hit by the war. tho Survey con-
tinueS. almost immediately after
the outbreak Of hOsIlitIcS il was
made known that. as part of the
program of conserving Great Bri-
tain'S foreign exchange holdings. all
British purchases of American tubac-
co would cease and Great Britain
would enlarge lis purchase Of tobac-
co from Turkey. in respect 10 which
country its position was more fay
orablc
Tho amount of tobacco that Great
Britain can obtain from Turkey and
Greece is only Il small fraction of the
quantity ordinarily imported from
the United States. Nevertheless. as
long as British purchases of Amcri-
can tobacco continue suspended our
tobacco exports will be >hurpcIy re-
Strictcd. Even more serious than this
temporary reduction of tho export
market iSs the risk that the taste for
American tObaccOS may be lost in
this, our most important foreign
market. The popular brands of Eng
.liSh cigarettes are made almost en-
tirely from American tobaccus: and
if. us result of the inability 10 get
our product, English cigarettes are
made in increasing percentages from
blends of other tubaccnS. the English
taste may well change. resulting in
d permanent reduction in the Eng
lish demand for tobacco from this

Guaranty Survey Has Gloomy
Outlook For Agriculture

New York, July 23.-Thcrc can
be no doubt that recent war develop
ments have greatly impaired the out
look for export trade in American
farm products, states the Guaranty
Trust Company Of New York in dis
cusSing the effects Of the war on
American agriculture in the current
issue of The Guaranty Survey, its
.monthly review Of business and fl
nancial conditions in the United
States and abroad.
In spite of the rapid progress Of
characterization, farming is still the
nations greatest industry, and the
most important in its influence on
the economic situation as a whole
the Survey continues.
THE countries mat have been
stricken from the list Of probable
buyers in the last four mon.nS MOI
'mally represent, in the aggregates d
huge market for the products Of our
farms; and nothing has yet appear
ed to offer promise of even APP
IprOXlmate compensation for this
prospective loss 1t is possible that
long continuation of the war or
an unexpectedly serious food crisis
in Europe might result in foreign
demand for foodstuffs sufficiently
urgent to SurmOunt such obstacles
as blockadcS, transportation difficult
tics, exchange conservation policies
and lack of purchasing power; but no
such contingency can yet be num-
bercd among the probable factors in
| the outlook. On the basis Of present
realities, is seems likely that the
trend of foreign trade in American
farm products in the near future
will be even less favorable than that
reported thus far during the war
period"
Concerning the cotton outlook, the
Survey states: "Thc Department Of
Agriculture regards the outlook for
exports during the coming season as
definitely unfavorablc and has an
!nounccd that the export subsidy on
cotton products will be revived dur
ing the course Of the fiscal year which
has just begun"

A Mrs. X was i'll and had been OPP
Grated upon for appendicitis. She
was recovering satisfactorily and it
came near time for her to leave the

One morning she was surprised to
see a strange woman enter her room.
The woman said she was Mrs. A, and
+! that she had the room next to Mrs.
X. She had come to ask when Mrs,
| x expected to 60 home. Mrs. x re-
piled that she was expecting to leave
in the next three days. Mrs. A then
said. ''No. you must not wait that
long. You must leave today, or you
will die. know; you will be deao
tomorrow if you do not leave the
hospital today
Mrs. x screamed and Mrs. A left
the room. A nurse rushed in AND
! asked what the trouble was. Mrs.
X. historically told her that Mrs. A
had threatened her death unless she
left the hospital. The nurse looked
peculiar and called doctor. The
doctor questioned Mrs. X what
did Mrs. A look like. She had given
her room number? Yes, Mrs. A did
have the room next to Mrs. X -.
but it couldn't have been Mrs. A who
came into the room. as Mrs. A. had
, died earlier that morning. At this
| news Mrs. X became so upset that

send her home. The hospital burned

Prick|y Heat,
And How 10
Relieve II
By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

WHAT is prickly heat and
what is the treatment Of it?
The medical name for prickly
heat is miliaria. 1t is generally
agreed that it is due to the stop.
ping up of the sweat ducts. The
mouths of the sweat ducts swell up
because the cells are unprotected
by sufficient oil. There is a con-
gestion of the capillaries and the
formation of blisters or swellings
in the upper layers of the skin.
Excessive sweating tends to re-
move the oil on the skin, and all
cases of prickly heat are associ-
ated with excessive sweating.
Diagnosis is not always simple.
Many eruptions are called prickly
heat that are really insect bites,
especially flea bites. A good point
to notice is whether the rash

Is there any scientific evidence
that middle-aged people with g
history of heart attacks should re-
main at sea level?
The question concerns a man of
so who had a moderate attack of
angina eighteen months ago and
wants to take his vacation in the
mountains. l quote the Journal of
the American Medical Association
that attitudes up to 5000 to 1900
feet are safe for those who have
had coronary disease. provided
there are no symptoms at the time
and even if there are symptoms on
condition that these persons avoid
climbing steep grades, such as arc
common at high attitudes. Many
feel better in the clear air of the
hills at 1000 to 1000 feet than they
do in the moist air at sea level. In
fact, the general experience is
that heart symptoms are often
benefited by such a change.
