BEE INSPECTOR WANTED.

Proposed Extermination of the Bee
 Pest-Endangers Fruit Crops.
 Hartford, March 12-Bee men were present at a hearing the bill au- thorizing the New Haven Agricultural Experiment Station to undertake the 'extermination of the bee pest, the foul brood before the committee on agri- culture yestsrday. The bill provides for the appointment of inspector whose duties shall be to inspect all apfaries and where he finds traces of termination of the same. The bill fur ther provides a penalty of not less than $25 nor more than S10O for all persons who interfere with the inspector in the performance of his duties and asks for an appropriation of $1,O00 year with which to carry on the work.
 Representative Clark. who introduced the bill. said that the disease had grown to such proportions that large monetary losses were entailed.
 D. D. Marsh of West Hartford, vice president of the Connecticut Bee Keepers Association. said that the bill was a simple business proposition If great fruit raising industry. particu- 1arly the small fruits. would be seri- ous1y crippled and in time ruined. The apple crop, the cucumber crop and so forth are entirely dependent upon fer tflization obtained by the bees gather ing honey from the blossoms.
 Stephen J. Griffin of Bridgeport said that the value of the honey crop in Connecticut amounted to $40,G00 a year. The treatment for this disease con- sists in shaking the bees on to new frames and burning the old frames. of foul brood. the European and the American.

FRENCH CABINET
 IN DIFFICULTIES
Financial Crisis in Republic Canses Dis.
 cord Among its Members.

Especial from United Press) 2 Paris, March 12.-The ministerial cri- sis arising from the financial difficult ties in which the Republic is involved became acute to-day and there is little hope of restoring ministerial harmony Statements from Premier C1emenceau, Minister of Finance Caillaux and Ma val Minister Picard indicate that the cabinet is hopeless divided over the financial policy. The premier is re- ported to have asked Minister of Com merce Crupp if he would accept the finance portfolio in case Caillaux re- tires.
 The fall of Caillaux will probably mean that the income tax bill which is still pending in the Senate will be greatly modified by that body, as it is the work of Caillaux and is opposed by important interests in the cabinet. For this reason the situation is being watched with the keenest interest by the American colony.

The Coughing Habit.

An irritat ting cough is not always due to having a cold. It is very often a habit acquired during the period of having one and afterward is more of a nervous, reflex action. When you find you are getting into the habit of con- tinually coughing-a dry, short cough try to check the inclination and more often than not the local irritation in your throat will disappear and the cough with it.

Though his shoulders, that formerly

ersack, knapsack and rifle, when he
followed Lee across the fields of V1r-
ginia in 1861, are now bent and

walked from Kansas City to Houston,
distance of 500 miles. He left Sat
urday night for San Antonio by rail-,
there to meet a daughter toward whom
he has been journeying these last -four
weeks.
On his way from Chicago to san
Antonio on a Santa Fe train, Joseph
Meyer was in the disastrous wreck
that occurred in Missouri on June ~,
when the train in which he rode ran
into Is feet of water, caused by the
breaking of the banks of the Missouri
river at that point during the flood
In this wreck nine women, two men
and child were drowned. The vet

book, containing all his money, his
ticket from Chicago to San Antonio,
and even his old gray uniform con-
tanned in a grip that was washed
away in the flood.

authorities, he said, and not even al
