At last the acreage report has been Issued and la out of the way. It 1b no exaggeration to say same will go down in history as the most farcical report ever Issued with a view of Inducing Intelligent people to accept. The ac tual acreage shown is 28,686,000, against 28,000,000 last year, or practi cally the same thing. No sane man believes this. The condition Is 84.6, which Is about the average for the past ten years. The trade absolutely refused to accept these figures serious ly, and while the market dvanced 20 points from yesterday, there was no excitement at any time and values gradually declined. There can be lit tle or no question but that the acre age Is at least 30,000,000 acres, and the condition well nigh perfect. All the crop needs Is sunshine, and should weather condition bo favorable for the next three weeks wo will see a July condition of 100, and should this crop go on to successful maturity there will he enough cotton mnde to glut the markets of the world and we shall again see cotton selling for 835 per bale. The only hope for higher prices Is unfavorable weather. We regard the market as a sale for the time be ing. October bids fair to go to 9c. CLARK & CO COTTON PICKINGS. Furnished for Dally Herald Readers by Clark & Co. Liverpool was closed, and the trade was "cursed” and "blessed” with pri vate opinions only from the other side. For the first time In the history of the cotton trade an Important report was issued with Liverpool and New Orleans closed. It Is pretty generally believed that the market has discounted an acre age report of 30,000,000 and a condi tion of 84. The acreage on the big crop was 32,000,000, and the June condition was 83. Beer, Cowle & Co., of Liverpool, opino that the market will gradually decline to 5 pence. The world Is bearish, which means that It is probably a good time to get bullish. Ton cents for October discounts 12.- 000,000 bales., All tho contracts now being sold with such reckless abandon must be bought In some day, and then the fur will fly. .

Prlco brokers bought heavily during the early trading. Only the weight of selling orders backed by “yellow gold" will force values much lower. Cotton is well worth present prices. The magnolia tree on the Chautau qua lawn la now a thing of beauty,- This tree was annually robbed of Its blooms and had its branches bent and broken every year up to about three years ago when the city council passed an ordinance for Its protection and In structed the police to arrest any per son caught plucking the flowers or otherwise injuring the tree. In the three years it has been protected the tree has grown more beautiful, and now it la full of blooms and is more beautiful than ever before. But during the past week frequent raids have been made upon the tree and the lower branches are beginning to show the blighting, ragged effects of van dalism. This Is a hint to the police force. v l Civil War Veteran Who Says He. Has Solved the Problem — Fruits, Nuts and Raw Vegetables. Pittsfield, Maas., June 4.—John A. Eddy, a civil war veteran of Dalton, Mass., asserts that It Is possible to live on an Income of $10 a year, to he In perfect health and vigor and to perform manual labor. For nearly five years Mr. Eddy has been carrying out a theory of dieting, and for three years he has entirely abstained from ordinary cooked, foods, living on fruits, vegetables eaten raw, and nutB. His success with early ex periments convinced him that eating three times a day was an error and that the body did not require It. For a year he ate twice a day—at 9 a. m. and at 5 p. m. Then, continuing in his experiment, he began eating once a day, and for more than a year his only meal has been at 10 a. m. In 1895 Mr. Eddy was told by phy alclans that he could live only a short time. He was a victim of heart trou ble, and the slightest exertion caused palpitation. He was crippled by rheu matism and affected by a serious kid ney disease. Wise men of medicine examined him and told him that his ease was hopeless. Tries Hie Own Theory. He had long been a believer that men eat too much, and on tile verdict of the doctors gave notice that he Intended to try a diet of raw foods, as medical treatment was unavailing and ho had steadily grown worse un der treatment. Accordingly, on September 1, 1901, he gave up eating bread, meat, pota toes, cooked peanuts, fruits, figs, dates and uncooked vegetables such as tur nips, lettuce, onions and cabbage. During the early part of bis experi ment he lived on fruit and nuts ex clusively for- six months. He began by eating his peanuts roasted, but gradually went (^ver to eating the nuts uncooked. Shortly after beginning this system of dieting he found that his health began to improve. His heart action became strong and his rheumatic pains lessened. Encour aged by these signs he continued his experiments, abstaining entirely from anything cooked. His one meal a day consists of about three ounces of uncooked peanuts, an onion eaten raw, and fruit. Recovers His Health, From a bed-rhlden Invalid Mr. Eddy gained health. He began gaining In fles)i from the first of hls experiment. To show that hls muBcIes are strong he is able to “chin the bar" several times in succession, a difficult feat for a man who has not strong, elastic, vigorous muscles. Every morning, winter and sum mer, lie walks out of doors in Ufa bare feet. Regardless of whether the tem perature is at zero or below, whether the ground Is covered with Ice or snow, he steps out into the winter mornings and barefootod makes round of His place. This spring and summer he will take long walks in the dew barefooted. These barefoot walks are followed by a sponge bath in Ice cold water. . When asked what deductions he had drawn from his experiments, Mr. Eddy sntd: “Nearly everyone eats too much for hls own good. Often the mind is hungry when the stomach is not." Mr. Eddy is willing to wager $100 that he can live and keep In good health for 100 days on $2.50. He says that his life has been prolonged by the simple diet which he has fol lowed, and that he believes most of the Ills the flesh is. heir to are due to cramming the stomach with indigesti ble foods that poison the system.
