Let not your heart ,be troubled, neither lot it be afraid. John 14: 27. Health NERVOUS INSTABILITY Many a mother and lather find it difficult to understand why th baby's doctor bo strongly insists upon regu larity in the simple physical hand ling of the Infant. The fact, however, is that the doc tor's Insistence Is not pointless. The child must learn to behavo inwardly as well as outwardly, "break ing in" its own physical machine for smooth and harmonious operation, While the child is born with in nate capacities to feed, excrete, and sleep, these capacities are crude and untrained. The more serious forms of nervous Instability may cause the child to suffer convulsions upon the least provocation. Under propor handling tho child will overcome this handicap, and in later years withstand provoking irri tations without going into nervous spasms. In a less serious form nervous In stability may be seen in the child's irregular breathing, and particularly in its frequent attacks of hiccough, or spasms of the diaphragm. The rate and rhythm of the child's circulatory system are also Irregular. Not Infrequently, too, Its excretory functions are so irregular as to causo alarm. There may bo constipation without apparent reason and suppression or retention of tho urine. The digestive system and Its func tions aro also subject to disturbances In movement and co-ordination. Temporary spasms of tho pylorus, tho opening of the stomach into the intestine, and the Irregular peristaltic movement of the intestinal tract give rise to vomiting, pain, and in a num- REDUCED WHEAT ACREAGE , ' , That highly practical college of experience and hard knocks seems to be having its effect on the wheat farmers of the United States, Canada, Australia and Argentine. Re duced acreage for the next crop indicates they have arrived it the conclusion that politicians cannot amend or repeal the law of supply and demand.

Disillusioned by the' breakdown of the Canadian wheat pool,, the wheat growers of Canada are planting less wheat than formerly, and the wheat farmers in Australia and the Argentine are putting fewer acres in the golden grain. All in all the wheat growers of the world can look forward to the best year they have known since the countries1 of Europe converted thqir battlefields into wheat fields. They will have less wheat to sell but will likely have an oppor tunity to make a profit on what they do sell and have no sur plus to worry about. acquires a rhythm of function which does away with these Irregularities.

A most important part of the domain controlled by the public is still being administered in the pre-Eoosevelt spirit. The broadcasting and communication channels of tho ether, used by private enterprise for private profit, are still being given away free of any charge whatso ever. The Federal government spends half a million a year in patrolling the ether lanes to protect the channels against trespassers, but not even this cost is borne by the concerns which profit by this patrol. Many of tho channels have reached high values, up to a million dollars. Given away free, they have been sold for this amount, yet their capitalized value is not being taxed. It is time that Congress, confronted by a huge deficit, rectify the mistake.

Jan. 27 (rP) Storage movement of eggs Is due to start within the coming week although the early movement Into cooler Is ex pected to be of nomlnll volume. With the last report of the United States department of agriculture Bh owing a total of but 2,880 cases on the coast compared with 6,807 cases for the same period a year ago, the season for old holdings is prac tically at an end. Portland holdings are a -mere handful as are other hold ings along the coast except Seattle and Los Angeles. Of the total supply of 2,880 cases in the leading markets, Seattle and Los Angeles hold 2753 cases. , There was no change in the egg market situation for the day. Re ceipts continue to Increase but de mand Is still quiet, Storers claim that quality is not as yet at its best and are therefore not Inclined to start the movement Into Ice houses. There was no change in the trend of the butter market for the day. , On the open market cubes are moving out freely at the full list price. Espe-, cially strong tone is reflected for un- dergrades. Appearance of the trade Indicates that Callfornlans are trying to get cheap chickens In the Northwest. While down to 8c lb. Is offered for light weight hens here, the San Fran cisco buying price for similar offer- lugs is 16c lb.. Just double the local market. Demand for dressed turkeys re mains firm here with prices steady to a fraction better in spots. Receipts have fallen off considerably at all loading points recently. Damage to the citrus crops of Cal ifornia Is smaller than first reported, It will be Impossible to tell exact damage -for several days at least, Steady price conditions are ruling In the market for. country killed meats and especially for bulls and for lambs. Hogs are steady with veal practically unchanged. There is an extreme scarcity of comb honey on the local market with scarcely sufficient to establish prices. A small supply of Montana stock is being offered to wholesalers at $3.50 and the latter are nominally asking $3.75 for a limited stock of Idaho. There Is a shortage of cauliflower here and especially so good quality stock. Roseburg offerings have prac tically disappeared and good Cnllf- ornlan is held higher. Little of the latter is available. Notes of wholesale trading: Mexican tomatoes are down about 25c lug; cooler weather being a fac tor. Hothouse Is trifle slower too. Hothouse rhubarb is again weaker with some price shading. Local stock selling best. i There remains a lack of general new business in onions at Willamette valley points. Cabbage market Is active with little change In tho price. Walla Walla spinach Is in short supply .with a keener domand. .i ..i...

Wall Street Is Mildly Bearish NEW YORK, Jan. 27 m The stock market put a mildly bearish inter pretation today on the U. s. Steel dividend reduction and poor earnings statement, although firmness of the railroad shares eventually checked t sharp decline in industrials. Selling was light -and sales only approxi mated 1,400,000 shares. U. S. Steel common slumped $4.00 to $37.75t but closed at $38.62, or $3.12 lower. Tho year's low is $35.60. The preferred issue, of which the reg ular quarterly dividend of $1.75 was declared, lost $4. Bethlehem Steel sagged more than $2, dipping under $1.7 and closed virtually at the bot tom. . - i ; ; , Regular dividend declarations by Pennsylvania and Delaware & Hud son helped the railroad stocks.

Another Aviator Hopes to Salvage Fur Ship Baychimo ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 27 (P) Prank Dorbonclt, hero of numerous arctic exploration and rescue flights, was organizing an aerial expedition here Tuesday to seek the "ghost" ship, Baychimo, lost in the Arctic ocean ice with a valuable cargo of furs aboard. Dorbandt's announcement follows close upon the similar declaration of W. B. Graham, Portland, Ore., aviator, who is now in Seattle overhauling a plane to use in pursuit of the prlzo urs. Dorbandt expected to leave here this week, accompanied by a mechanic and another man. Caught In tho winter ice freeze-up, the Hudson bay trading ship Bay chimo was abandoned by its crew in the Arctic ocean south of Walnwright last fall. - Some of tho crew were taken to Nome by plane and others camped nearby. But the Baychimo later disappear ed in the great mountains of Ice as winds shifted. Eskimos found it sev eral weeks later only to lose sight of it ogaln. Under marine law anyone salvaging a rerelict ship hod rights to prac tically tho full value of cargo re covered. Purs aboard the Baychimo are valued from M0. 000 to $1,000,000 under various estimates. m vv yi FOR OVER o YEAB Guaranteed pure nd efficient.
