Science and common-sense have been

tics for marketing. The Department of

was found that from 10 to 25 per cent
of the decay was caused by n slight
wound in each orange made by the
clippers in the hands Of the gatherers
who cut the fruit from the bough, and
this per cent was saved by the simple
process of having the points Of all
scissors made blunt. Finger.uails have
often caused abrasions in the skin, so
the women who pack the boxes must
now have their nails closely cut before
going To work.

SEA GOING PLAY AT THE KRUe
''The warming BeIIr Has q Yacht and
Lighthouse in 1t Among
Other Things.

The patient, all-suffering lighthouse by
the sea provides the "melo" portion of an
other drama, called The Warning Bell, t"
which blew its breezes, swished its waves,
ratified its storms, rang Its warning gong
and shone its light at the Krug theater
Tuesday evening for the benefit of a fair
and greatly appreciAtive audience. AS a
play it furnishes a change from the Com
mon, everyday story set where the shore
Is plenty, but its plot does not part from
the timeworn give me them papers" class.
In fact. 1t is to work the destruction Of
a sheet of paper of ordinary letter size
on board a yacht that the villain tries to
sink the whole outfit with all the human
lives on board by tying up the clapper In
the bell buoy and extinguishing the light
in the tower. so 1t may be dashed on the
rocks In the storm.
The scene is a wild one. That is plain
to the audience, although It isn't accus-
toned to a larger piece of water than
Cut-Of lake. or the streets when the snow
Is melting. for there is lots of noise with
the thunder, wind, waves, orchestra and
the faithful bell. so the actors are obliged
to shout themselves hoarse and fling their
arms about to let the people know they
are repeating their lines The words can
not be understood, but that only makes
It more exciting. Then the girl comes and
shoots the cord tied on the bell with her
revolver. just as something which the
audience, not being accustomed to sea going
craft falls to recognise as the yacht. sud-
denly takes up the center OF the stage. But
the gallery and the balcony and the lower
| floor know that the supreme moment has
arrived when the shot is fired. the orchestrs
to lower. The villain is hoiled again and
there is vociferous applause
The company deserves praise as a whole
and not an unsatisfactory member is in It.
All are somewhat finished" In their acting
and are above the ordinary In the class
The play has considerable humor on the
side and many musical specialties well
sung The last performance will be given
Wednesday evening.
