ocal FOREIGN BULLS FAIL TO KEEP GRAIN UP AFTER FIRST BULGE CHICAGO, bec. 11. Notwithstanding that bullish foreign advices tended at first today to lift the wheat market, a, material decline soon took place. Hews indicating scarcity of supplies in Great Britain and elsewhere in Europe was not accompanied by signs of a better export demand. On the contrary, the trade was uncertain what would be done with wheat already purchased for Greece, and it was pointed out that Anglo-French securities had fallen to a new low record in value. Opening prices, which ranged from to l'j-c advance, with Dec. at $1.774 to $1.77, were followed by a setback to well below Saturday's finish, but then by something of ft rally. Strength of Liverpool quotation helped corn more than wheat. It was said a largely Increased European demand for corn had resulted from the scarcity and dearness of other grain. After opening to higher, the market held most of the upturn. Oats trade was small. Lack of call from the seaboard gave an advantage to the bears. Provisions - hardened owing to reports that purchases for Belgium were likely. The best inquiry was for lard. Cincinnati Grain No. 2 red winter, $1.84 1.85; No. 3.

HERE'S NEW HEALTH GUIDE GIVEN TO SCHOOL CHILDREN

"Up smiling." This is the first recommendation on a daily health guide which will be given to school rooms in Richmond and Wayne county, where 600 Red Cross seals are sold. The chart recommends food most suitable for the school children and outines their general conduct. The charts will be given for the promotion of public health in the schools and probably later, the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis association will arrange to have the advice sent to parents on small cards. The health guide follows: Morning Up smiling, a good wash, a glass of water or two, no loitering in dressing and chores, avoid hurrying when .eating breakfast and running to school. : ' Breakfast Fruit, cereals, and plenty of milk, eggs, bread and butter; no coffee or tea, breakfast, dinner or supper; brush teeth; toilet. School Going and coming, deep breaths, at least ten slowly; shoulders straight and head up. In school Insist on fresh air, sit up straight at your desk, Btudy hard. Recess Play hard, put nothing in your mouth that is dirty, like a pencil; or like a cup used by another person since it was washed. Don't sneeze near another person use your handkerchief. Don't spit. Noon Wash hands and face.' Hands 33 N. 9TH ST.

COAL CONSUMPTION j SETS NEW RECORDS .. . '- : , t i PITTSBURGH. Pa.. Dec. 11. Fifty million tons of coal, or four times the normal amount, have been consumed in the Pittsburgh district In 1916, according to an estimate made by coal men here today. This represents anincrease of more than 7,000,000 tons over, the .preceding year. The consumption in 1917 is expected to be even greater if the coal companies are successful .in getting cars to ship the coal and men to mine it The labor situation is; being viewed with alarm by a number of coal producers. On account of the car shortage many mines are running but four hours - a - day. , Miners, attracted by more lucrative employment, are entering other fields ;of work. Producers fear these men cannot be induced to return to the mines. - ,
