WILLS ALL TO HIS COUNTRY.
Soldier Believes He Owes It to the
 United States Government.

Because he has soldiered in the ranks for twenty years, during which time he considers the government has cared for him, Miner H. Whitney, a first-class private In Company D, of the signal corps. today made his will, leaving all his possessions 10 the treasury of tho United States The unusual will was regularly witnessed and filed with First Lieut. Paul W. Beck. commanding the company says the Seattle Post-Intel- igencer.
 The filing of this peculiar document was the result of the law passed last winter by which a sum equal to six months pay will be given to the heirs of every officer or enlisted man dying in the srevice. There Is a provision in this law that every officer and soldier must put down in writing tho name of the person to whom he wishes this money to be given. This sum is in addi- ton to any sum that may be due tho soldier in pay or allowances at the time of his death, and is to provide members of his family with nest egg against starvation.
 These blanks, which the soldiers arc to i'll out with the names of the per sons to whom they wish the money left were received yesterday and were signed up by the soldiers in camp to- day. An examination of these blanks shows that at least 30 per cent. of the men have named their mothers to re- ceiye this money. More than 40 per cent have named wives or sisters with a small percentage naming friends. brothers, or other relatives
 Private Whitney has served In the army twenty years and says he has no living relatives and no particular friends
 Uncle Sam has cared for me for twenty years" he said "and the money can go back 10 the treasury when die, I have no relatives and there are no friends would care 10 leave It 10"
 When it was suggested that he name the r. M. C. A, or some other institu- ton that looks after the welfare of sol- dlers. whitney was obdurate, and said he would still leave the words, Treasur- CT of the United States" In the blank

LYNN WORRIED
 OVER ITS STRIKE Board of Trade Unites With Associated Charities to
 Bring About Arbitra- tion of Trouble.
1900 SHOE MASTERS OUT
Thousands of Other Workers Will be Thrown Out Unless Strikers
 Return to Work Soon.

Lynn, Mass. Oct, 4.-In order to avert the serious blow to the citys bus iness which would result should the strike of the lasters in fifty-three of the shoe factories here be prolonged, the city board of trade and the asso- ciated charities held meetings to-day ito discuss methods of bringing the strikers and manufacturers together to arbitrate. About 1.3Gj men are now out. and unless the lasters return soon, other departments of the factories will have to close down, throwing thou sands moro out of work.
 President R $. Bauer of the Board of Trade, with other members of that or ganization will try to arrange a meet ing tomorrow with Joseph Caunt of the Joseph Caunt company where the strike started. owing to the introduc- tion of new machines operated by girls, who displaced the men, and an attempt will be made to induce him to submit the matter to arbitration, provided the union is also willing. It is understood that before the strike was ordered the union asked 10 have the matter set 
 led by arbitration
 The lastcrs employed In other fac. tories supposed 10 be members of ths Manufacturers association have also been ordered out and some of the man. ufacturers in order to get their men back have announced their intention of withdrawing from the association. Half a dozen announced their intention of so doing to-day, but the executive committee of the Lasters' union decided that the men now out will not be sent back in those factories that have an nounced their withdrawal from the as- sociation. This makes tho strike stu- ation more serious than before, for 1t had been understood that the strike would affect only those factories known to he members of the manufac- turers' organization.

Danger IN Stale Food.

Many cases Of sickness and even OF
death from cholera mogbus are caused
bv eating stale victuals, such as salads
which have been kept over Tor day or
two. In hot weather microbes begin
their work Oh any kind Of food soon
after It Is cooked, ana the longer the
food is kept the more the microbes mUI'
tiply and the worse the food becomes,
Salads Of al Kinds ought TO BE eaten
soon after they are made OF else not al
all. They become so daugercQsin few
hours that animals refuse to touch them
because their senses are better guides
to health than the senses Of human be-
ings. Potato salads are. especially dan
gcrous because the starch Of which pc
tatoes mainly consist spells very quick
ly. On this account potatoes are EN-
rloyed in biological laboratories to test
the propagation Of microbes
When fruits cause coIera morbus the
injecting nicrohe generally comes from
The outside Of the fruit. There are no
microbes inside OF an apple or peach
that has an unbroken skin. The MI
crobe starts from the outside as soon as
an opening occurs in the fruit skin and
soon corIupts the entire specimen, On
this account no apple, peach or other
fruit should be even tasted without first
removing the skin. Apples picked up
IN orchards are further liable 10 carry
tapeworm germs ii The skin is tot care
fully removed before tasting
The microbe which causes grapes 10
ferment is moi found within the pulp Of
the grape, but on the outside OF It's skin.
AS soon as the juice Of the grape Is
pressed out the felment microbe goes to
work rapidly. Grapes are made health
Ter for ordinary eating by moment
contact with boiling water to kill the
ferment microbes on the skin.
Wine and vine diseases are generally
the result of parasite microbes on the
outside of the grapes. The remedy for
vineyard disease IS generally new

eion, the cuttings coming from region
entirely free from disease. The dan
eerous micTobe claims the same right to
live and grow that man claims, and the
final result depends o the triumph Of

Commission Selects Routes.

The routes of the State roads to be
built in this county under the super.
vision of the Good Roads Commission.
were pectedly selected by the Com
mission, IN Baltimore City, last Thurs
day, as follows: Beginning at the
Charles county line near Mattawoman,
and running to Clinton, to Camp
Springs, TO Silver Hill, to the District
of Columbia line. Camp Springs to
Upper Marlboro to Queen Anne bridge.
Beginning at Queen Anne bridge and
and running to Halls to Woodmore to
Brightseat, to the District of Columbia
near Kenilworth.
This road crosses the Chesapeake
Beach Railway close to Chesapeake
Junction Station, D. c., and is knoE2
as the Sheriff road. The route asked
for over Central Avenue, but the Com
mission evidently thought the Sheriff
road would benefit more people who
uses the public roads in that section.
We hear the Commission will be asked
to change the route from Camp Springs
to Marlboro and to start at the end OF
the macadam road, on the Marlboro and
Washington Pike Near Forestville, and
build the State road from that point,
which will make u fine road from here
to the District Almost the entire road
between Forestville and Washington is
now macadamized.
The roads give direct route t."
Washington and Baltimore. Il is al
most a straight line from Baltimore to
La Plata.

1t was the consensus of opinion tha.
there is a trend in the direction Of i'm
provement of business throughout the
Southern States. The agricultural out
look is encouraging. Southern fruit
and vegetable crops have generally been
good and have found a ready market at
prices which, although in some cases
below those Of former years, have been
profitable. The present condition OF
the cotton crop and the grain crops OF
the South is good If there is 10 de-
terioration in cotton between now and
the close of the season the yield viii be
large.
As a result of general prosperity
among the farming communities retail
business in most Southern towns has
kept up fairly well. Merchants have
been buying conservatlvely, However
and the effect has been q curtaiimeut OF
wholesale business and depression il
some lines of manufacturing Stocks
