Cotton Acreage.Must be Ex panded, Says U. S. Attache. Washington, April 22-The world's ?cotton acreage must undergo a very miarked expansion in the years to .come if the supply of raw cotton is to keep pace with the world's needs, Alfred P. Dentis, American commer cial attache at .London, reported to "the department of commerce after an .exhaustive study of the world's capa city for consuming cotton goods. At the present time, he said, there is a record carry-over of raw cotton. Combined with this there is an im ?nense amount of underproduction in the chief cotton spinning centers of the world. There ' has been a marked setback to the purchasing: pow?r of the world in the amount of cotton goods and a corresponding [ setback to the production of cotton. "It is obvious," says Mr. Dennis, ""that the world has emerged from the war with a production capacity of raw cotton considerably below its re quirements. Coincidentally there has "been a marked decline in the output of manufactured cotton stuffs, that,) 5n turn, being a reflection of reduced buying power in the great consuming ?centers of the world. "'With a return of the world to a nor- j rmal state of economy, buying will be ^resumed, idle and short time looms and spindles will be speeded up, and an insistent demand for raw material anay be anticipated. Farsighted repre sentatives of the British cotton trade are already agitating the question of ' increasing the^ production of raw cot -ton within the empire. . "It seems established that the need of the world for cotton goods within "the near future will grow more rapid ly-than will the extension of cotton crowing areas. Increase in the supply of cotton depends very largely on the .?finding of fresh cotton territory and improving the strains of existing known cottons. "The crop in America, which has >baen averaging for the five years, 1895-99, 10,000,000 bales, jumped, "ten years later or for the five years, 1910-14 to an average of 13,500,000 bales. Production in other countries also increased. The inference must be accepted, therefore, that through the increase in the world's population and through the extension of con sumption to new markets, as well as .through the inclusion of cotton into mew utilities, such as automobile tires, the world required an increase in its supply of cotton. It is statecj on high authority th?t the world in 1914 was in a position to absorb in manufac tured goods at least 700,000 'bales of cotton more each year than consumed .the year before. "One of the prime factors in the ^present day equation is the impover ishment of the world. Trade with i both Russia and Germany has amount . cd to little, and while the capacity in igeneral of central and eastern Eu- j xope to buy cotton goods has not been destroyed it has been greatly im-| paired." Awaits New Attitude. Boston, April 22.-Normalcy in busi ness awaits a new attitude of man toward his job, James S. Alexander, president of the National Bank of ?Commerce, of New York, said in an address tonight at the annual banquet of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. Correction of the business and social confusion of the . time must be sought, he said, riot only '. in banking and business adjustments, "iljut more particularly in the human .. element. "Already substantial progress has been made toward a return to sounder .' conditions," according to the speaker, .."but the time has not come for a.re laxation of coution. The weight of chance is against speculative under takings." . . Conditions in the rural districts of the South were described as worse than in the days of slavery by David R. Coker, a South Carolinian cotton .grower, in addressing a convention session today. "The average farm laborer in the South receives just enough to keep body and soul together," he said. "The return to the small growers and i ?aborers is not enough to keep them : in a decent state of civilization. The ; present price paid for cotton in the ! South is only a little more than one iiialf the cost of production." Chamberlain's Tablets are Just What When billious, When constipated. When you have no appetite When your digestion is impaired.

Bees searching for food and water often visit places where they might become carriers of disease germs. Do they do it? Does honey ever spreadi disease? Hitherto, there has been theory on the subject, but little exact data. An investigator at the Colorado Agri cultural Station, Dr. Walter G. Sack ett, has made experiments revealing some illuminating facts about the healthfulness of honey. He took bacteria causing the com mon intestinal troubles,, and intro duced them into solutions of honey and water. In pure water these bac teria lived forty days or more. In a solution of honey and water the length of life decreased as the pro portion of honey was made greater. In extracted honey, undiluted, the bacteria lived only two to four days. The conclusion from the investi gation was that the chance of con tracting an intestinal disease from honey was very markedly less than from water, milk or other substances containing water. Indeed, honey ap pears to protect itself against bac teria, in the common process of pro- J duction and sale. Any bacteria left in it by the bees will ordinarily be dead before the honey is taken from the hive. If bacteria are introduced during the process of extraction which is done with clean apparatus and under clean conditions, usually -they will be dead and harmless long before the honey is consumed, ordi narily. Extracted honey reaches the consumer usually in a glass jar which is a safeguard against contamination while waiting to be sold. This is only one of the admirable characteristics of honey that apiar ists believe adequate research will determine. It has many suspected vir- j tues, and others which are claimed, but not yet supported, which apiarists believe investigation would reveal or confirm.-Farm and Ranch. They Speak Well of -lt.

Try it when you have a cough or cold and see for yourself what an excellent medicine it is.
