The raid on the houses Of ill-fame,
which the Mems union announced
would be among the tasks 1t would
undertake, has already been inaugur-
ated. The work has been done so
quietly that few outside of the directly
interested parties had any knowledge
of the fact. 1t is of q preliminary
character only, but it is proving es-
fectual.
The unions plan of dealing with this
evil Is not to arrest the inmates of the
houses as has been the rule in the
sporadic attacks that have been made
by the authorities. The union will ar
rest the landlords on the charge of
renting houses for immoral purposes.
Notices have been and are being sent
out to the house-owners warning them
of the intended crusade and advising
them to move at once to escape prose-
cution by clearing their premises of
their law-breaking tenants. A reason
able length of time will be allowed
these parties to take advantage of the
warning and any who neglect it will be
arrested.
The fact that the union is generally
recognized by this time. to be very
much in earnest and not to be halted
in its work by fear or favoritism will,
it is thought, make but few arrests
necessary. How soon the issuing of
warrants will be begun is not given
out, but it is intimated that by the end
of next month the open attacks will be
instituted, if occasion demands.
The more notorious places will be
| first attacked, and there will be no let
up till the city is entirely cleared OF
this evil, If such thing is possible,
| and the Mems union thinks it is pos
sible.
Since the Mems union began its cam
| paign against vice, it has caused
eighty-siX arrests and secured eight
convictions for violations of liquor
| laws. twenty-five indictments were
returned by the grand jury in liquor
| cases which the union prosecuted;
rules to revoke eighteen licenses were
secured; two gambling dens were
raided; thirty alleged speakeasy keep
ers have been arrested since the grand
jury last met: half a dozen new Sun
day-selling cases have been instituted
three parties have been arrested for
interfering with the unions officers,
and a large number of warrants for
| alleged speakeasy keepers are still in
the hands of the officers.
Among the latter is one for Mrs.
zeno Lopatyner, who is i'll. All in all,
the union has shown remarkable en-
ergy.
Information for four new warrants
for alleged speakeasy keepers was pre-.
| pared yesterday, by Attorney +. f.
Beers, and the warrants will be issued

Polanders Explain Why They Did
Not Answer Questions.

Three more Polish residents of Green
wood were arrested yesterday at the
instance of Census Supervisor John II.
Edwards, for refusing to answer ques-
tions put to them by Enumerator
Charles Lancaster. They are John
Bolaski, William Yurgliavicz and
Stoney zyhyuskiz.
They gave bail before Commissioner
George ID. Taylor for a hearing, July
rs, NJ. Schwartz qualifying as bonds
man.
The four who went up to the county
Jail the night before got out yesterday
morning on bail furnished by Mr.
Schwartz, and these, with the two who
were admitted to bail, John Rofalco
and Botlck Macavige. will be given
hearing with the three who were ar
rested yesterday.
1t is likely they will not be very sc-
verely dealt with. All claimed they
were not made to understand what
was wanted of them, and thinking the
enumerator some kind of a bunco
steercr, refused to have anything to do
with him.
When they left Commissioner Tay-
lor's office they declared they intended
to hunt UP Mr.. Lancaster before the
sun went down.

Small Garden plots.

The small garden Is the one that
gives its owner pleasure. Probably the
majority of those who cultivate small
gardens make no profit, but actually
suffer loss, when the crops are COM
pared with the cost of seeds, fertilizers
and labor, but there is considerable
pleasure derived, the value Of which
can not be estimated. No matter how
small the plot owned or rented may be,
the one who can bestow q portion of
time TO the cultivation of garden crops
this spring should do so. There are
some things grown IN a garden that
can not easily be procured in market,
when the freshness and quality are
considered. No one can buy tomatoes
in market equal to those taken from
the vines and placed on the table. If
q plot is very fertile. and is no larger
than half an acre, the amount of prod
zee that can be given thereon will sup
ply an ordinary family from early
spring until late in the fall. Beginning
with onions and green peas, with beets,
carrots, parsnips and early cabbage,
followed with string beans. Lima
beans, tomatoes, sweet corn, turnips
and late cabbages, two crops can be
grown on the same location during the
season. Potatoes need not be planted
in a garden, as the crop demands pro-
tectaon from the beetle. This spring. If
desired. small strawberry patch may
he started, which viii come into bear
ing the following spring.

Doctors, scientists and agricultural
experts are all very much concerned
at the present time about the contain
nation of milk and the serious conse
quences that are apt to result from it.
In the up-to-date dairy every effort is
made to keep the milk from being con-
taininated by stable dirt or foreign
matter, which may adhere to the cows
teats or tanks. or which may be float
ing around in the air in the stable.
Among the precautions suggested are
mechanical mixers, but these have not
come into extensive use, although in
one form or another there are isolated
examples of their use in diaries in diff
felent parts of the world. The illus
tration here presented is a suggestion
along this line and represents the idea
of John G. Dulgan, of Melbourne, Vic
toria. 1t comprises teat cups, with
finger loops for the thumb and finger
arranged longitudinally on opposite
sides, which prevent the mixers hands
from coming ia contact with the teats
and thus transferring dirt or disease
germs from one animal to another. The
milk is conducted to the milk pail
through rubber tubes, aud, as the pail
is inclosed there is no contamination
there, so that, provided the milk is
from a good, healthy COW, the dairy

The poultry trade, it is said, views
with alarm the giant strides made by
the big packing firms toward control
of what has been for many years a
profitable line Of business. These con-
Germs have for year or more been
making large additions to the capacity
of their poultry packing plants. and,
further than this, they are represented
to be now reaching out for mastery
over the chicl,en-producing territories
of Kansas. Missouri, Illinois and the
Northwest. The margin of profits in
the poultry packing business has been
good for those who operate on a COM
paratiyely small scale, and it is no
wonder that the big packing firms
should undertake to monopolize a field
for which they have exceptional facili-.
ties in matters of transportation, stor-
ing and understanding.

about two feet, and about six inches
of snow, just enough for good sleigh

How q Little Soy Was saved

Washington, d. C--"When our boy
was about is months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles. In a few days he had a swell
ing on the left side of his neck md it
was decided to be mumps. He was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve. He
WAIVED TO lance the sore, but | would
not let him and continued giving him
medicine for about four months when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came running sore. Three doctors said
1t was scrofula and each ordered

was cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! de-
cided to give it TO my boy, and in a
short while his health improved and his

A good little girl of olden days was
Mary Osgood Sumner, whose 'Moni-

her misdoings, which does not disclose
any very serious fault, and a white one
showing what duties she performed.
She writes:

Sister, split the cream on the floor in

Farm Helm ProbIeuns.

The greatest problem 10 solve by the
farmer during his busy season is TO Sc
cure capable help. Those who know
nothing of the duties TO be performed
on a farm advise all unemployed per
sons TO seek work in the country. The
fact is that such persons are as useless
on farms as they are In factories, vet
the farmer cannot afford to teach his
help during the busiest period Of the
wear. What is meant by competent
farm hands are those who can 60 on
farm and fuzzy understand what is TO
be done without the necessity OF the
farmer being with them constantly to
point out here and there what he
wishes them 10 do. 1t is cheaper for
a farmer TO do the work himself than
10 be encountered By an incompetent
assistant.

Visitors to the Sick om in the

fear criticism too much. Their mothers

would cause talk to begin it. SO the
nurse casts responsibility off on custom
and puts blind trust in Providence,
and the deed is done. No matter how

visitors seriously handicap the efforts
of the physician and nurses and I'M
doubtedly cause many a death. 1t is
astonishing to witness the recklessness
of most families in regard to this phase
of the care of their sick. Unless a pa
