AGAINST LONG TRAINS.
Prussian Town Officials Take Unique
Health Precautiou.

NORDHAUSEN. Prussian Saxony May
5.-The town council of Nordfausen has
issued an ordinance prohibiting women
from allowing the trains of their dresses to
drag In the streets as measure for the
protection of health and for the prevention
of tainting the air with dust" The penalty
for infraction of this ordinance is a fine
of $50.
The police department of Nordhausen had
previously forbidden women to allow their
dress trains to sweep the sidewalks Of the
Friedrich Wilhelm Platz and the adjacent
streets The council now extends the regu-
lation TO the entire city.
The passion for sanitation sweeping over
Germany Is likely to result in similar ordi-
nances being enforced by other cities.

INTENSE INTEREST SHOWN
1000 Candidates Contest for sol Dep.
uties' Seats.
CHURCH AND STATE AN ISSUE
Two Great Contending Forces With
the Balance of Power Vested in
Moderate Republicans.

PARIS. May 5.-The electoral campaign
closed tonight. and the polls will be opened
throughout France tomorrow Great inter-
est is taken in the result owing TO the fact
that IL will mean the country's opinion OF
the course of the government in connections
with separation of church and state and the
recent labor agitatfons.
The 591 seats In the chamber of deputies
viii be contested by over 2ooo candidates OF
various political opinions. The two great
contending elements the bloc or sup
porters of the government. and the anti
bloc" or opponents OF the government.
The bloc" is composed of the powerful
radical republicans. numbering 40, under
the command of War Minister Etienne, and
including NJ. Delcasse the former foreign
minister; ninety radical socialists of whom
Premier Sarrien is the leader and about
fifty socialists, led by NJ. Jaures. All the
ministers running as bloc" candidates.
Some of the Anti Government Forces.
The "anti-bloc" includes the nationalist,
ciericals, royalists Bonapartists. anti-sem-
ties and various other groups. Some of the
most striking of the opposition candidates
are Col. Marchand of Fashoda fame who is
seeking to represent a Paris district; NM.
Deroulede and Marcel Nabert. who recently
were amnestied, after having been exiled
for treason; NJ. Joseph LasIes, the anti
semitic leader. who is known as the French
Tim Healy;" the Abbes Lemiz and Gayralid
direct representatives of the church and NJ.
Baudry dAssona. an out-and-out royaIist
and parliamentary buffoon.
The balance of power is practically held
by the moderate republicans, or center par
ty. with 80 votes. NJ. Boumer, president
of the chamber of deputies, is the leader
of this party, with NJ. Ribot. the former
premier, a second in command. They ex-
poet to play an important role as NJ.
Doumer aspires to the premiership.
No Clearly Defined Policy
Neither the bloc" nor the "anti-bloc''
organs have clearly defined their policy. but
the government supporters advocate a con-
tinuance Of the policy of separating the
church from the state carrying out the
worklngmen's pensions and the introduction
of an income tax measure.
The recent labor disturbances are ex-
pected to influence many voters the mid
die class blaming the government for its
early moderation, whereas the members OF
later severity. The church riots are also
influencing both sides.
The seats of the present ministers are
considered safe, and the contest Is not like
~ TO endanger republican principles. The
government supporters foresee the loss of
some seats. but they are confident of re-
tanning the majority in the chamber of
deputies.

of the cut back roots callous at once

son. And don't forget the hoe. All
the crusts should be broken close up to
the roots of the plants. This prevents
weed seed from terminating, conserVes
moisture and admits air to the bac-
terial germs. The best time to Kill
weed is before it gets started, and the
hoe is the most effective tool with
which to accomplish it." After the
plants receive one or two civilizations
and hoeings, they will start blooming.
The blooms should be picked OFF at
once.
