Saturday, June 15, 19ISJ ' . MMHEALTH TALK HOW TO KEEP WELL IN HOT v" .m i mevvn ------ wtAinriv HI Four More Rule for Summer Happmt v FIRST, don't overeat. Fat meats, concentrated foods, and heat, and energy producing foods were certahi Ivnot intended for summer use." This is the time to eliminate meats and heat and energy foods, or. at least re duce them to a minimum and -live :on fruits and vegetables. Learn to eat 'Weens" and all kinds of "garden Bass." Keep the bowels moving free ly at least once or twice , a day by jneans of a fruit and vegetable diet, lofs of cQol (not cold) drinking wa ter, "and a little bran gruel, if neces sary . Avoid the ice-cold soft . drinks of all kinds. "Adam's , ale,". the pure, unadulterated kind and. in large quan tities,, is "far better. ; 2. Don't overdress in summer. ' Save your clothes for winter" wear.'; A bit of good summer advice alorig this line is to .wear as little, as the lawof the land will allow, and that ismighty lit tle these days equal rights for men. 3. Much of our cummer discomfort may be avoided by the proper plan ning of our work. By a little fore thought housewives, for examplecan arrange to minimize the time spent over -a hot kitchen stove, and do much of the ironing, preparing of vegetables, sewing, etc., on a shady porch or in the breezy, fresh airv Work that has to be done hi hot places can usually be done during the coolest parts of the day. 4. If not well, see a doctor. It is just as impossible and as ridiculous for a man or woman to try to live up to his rated efficiency while handi capped by bad teeth, constipation, or any one or more of a score of need less ailments, as it is to' expect a horse to win a race cm three legs or an automobile hitting on three cylin ders." Get fixed up. Go to the best doctor you can find, pot your case en tirely in his hands. Have him find out what is wrong with you. In the vast majority of cases it will proba-. My be some simple living habit. Cor rect that habit, hit on all four cylin ders, and you will be surprised to see how work and difficulties disappear before you and how much real com fort and joy there is in. life in the 'good old summer time."

On the Minneapolis market No. Yellow averaged $1.63 ft 1.62, and No. 8 White oa the Omaha market $1.66 1,71. .L MerchantB . in North Carolina towns . paid an average price of SI. 98 In May as com pared to 12.01 in April. The Division of , Markets will make a survey which will show the mill price and demand for corn, IRISH POTATOES THIS year many North Carolina counties, among them Brunswick, Carteret, Colum bus,. t!umberlan'cl, Duplin, Harnett, Sampson, Tyrrell, , and Wayne Counties, . report an in crease in acreage, but all counties, with the exception of three, report about the same or - less yield than last year. Carteret, Cumber land, and Sampson Counties report a larger crop than last year, when North Carolina shipped over 4,230 cars of early Irish pota toes. Heavy rains and a late frost have had the effect of diminishing yield and of delaying . harvesting this year's crop until about June 10th to 12th in most sections of the state. Fortunately for the North Carolina growers the potato crop In Virginia is less in acreage and in yield than last year's crop. Ship- - ments In Norfolk and Cape Charles sections will also begin about June 10th to, 12th. The heavy shipments which usually develop three weeks later in Accomac County, Virginia, than at Cape Charles will be cut by one half. Many growers are Inclined to follow the Gov eminent' s advice to let the crop mature this year In order to give full foodvalue and also to gain better prices when the old potato crop is off the market about the first of July. . ' The Eastern Shore of Virginia Produce Ex change calculated the cost of producing po tatoes this year to be $3.02 per barrel upon the basis of a normal yield or 40 barrels per acre, but on the basis of 30 barrels the cost . will be about $4 per barrel. North Carolina growers have estimated their costs on the basis of expected yield to be $2.50 to $5 per barrel, varying according to difference in ylelty soil fertility and labor- conditions. From reports growers are preparing to grade their potatoes according to the Government standards this year as never before. Copies of the bulletin giving Government grades may be had upon application to Wm. R. Camp, Chief Division of Markets West Raleigh; also copies of the dally Market News Service Bulletin. HOGS THE receipts of hogs for year 1918 up to May 29 th on seven of the larger markets were 11,738,000 head as compared with 1 0,610,000 bead during the same period in 1917. The Richmond market ts practically closed on account of inability to- get enough hogs of quality to warrant continuing the market. The market will reopen when hogs from southern territory start to market this f alU The . Carolina Packing Plant at Wll- mlngton, N. C, expects to continue opera tion all summer. During the fore part of May prices ruled generally high, at times selling around 18c on the Chicago market and around 19e in Baltimore and 18 c in Richmond, Va. The last week of the month saw a decided slump ln prices, however. The Baltimore market declined fully 60c per hundredweight. v Clos , lng prices, mediums, 160-200 pounds, $18 18.65 per hundredweight. Lights 5c to 10c lees. Wilmington, N. C, l&o po-unos up i.o, Chicago, bulk, $16.20 $16.40. At St. Louis, 29th, choice Southern hogs, 165-200 pounds, were quoted at $16.25 $16.40, A very few live hogs are being sold for slaughter in North Carolina at this time. The price be ing paid for those that are sold varies wide ly, being from 13c per pound ln the eastern part of the. state to 20c-22o in the western part of the state. Country cured hams ar"e selling from 80c to 36c per pound, shoulders and sides 2c to 5c less. EGGS REPORTS from twenty North Carolina Counties state that farmers are being paid 25c a dozen in five counties and 80c a dozen ln eight counties, and as high as 40c a dozen in one county, and. an average price of 29.4c a dozen. Merchants in thirteen nf the lead ing North Carolina towns paid an average price of 85. 96 a dozen and a range of prices of 28c-40c a dozen. Eggs are from five to fifteen cents a dozen cheaper In the country than in the larger towns. It would pay farmers ln many country places to buy crates and express eggs to larger markets. In New York City fresh gathered extras average1! 37,5c-38.1c, and extra firsts 36.1c-36.6c, and firsts 34.5c-35.6c a dozen during May, Condition of Cotton Crop May 25 THE condition of the cotton crop on May 25, as reported by the Bureau of Crop Esti mates on June 4, was 82.8 per cent of a nor tnal, as compared with 69.5 per cent on May 25 last year, 77.5 per cent In. 1916, 80 per cent in 19-15, and 79 per cent the ten-year average.
