way Of decorating their gardens for

l.. Haig, a dealer in glowworms,
at his farm at Newdigate. Surrey,
said:
"The idea of using glowworms as
regular illuminant decorations occur
red to me some little time ago, and
it is certainly taking well with the
public" he said.
II charge so cents a dozen for
glowworms exclusive of postage, and
we go out and catch the little crea-
lures as the orders come in. This
part of Surrey is particularly prolific
in glowworms.
They are usually found adhering to
longish blades of grass, and so long
as they glow are easy to catch in the
hand A fine night after rain is the
best time for getting them. ,

OPPOSE AMERICAN TRAINMEN
OBJECT TO RUN NJ ING MEN
THROUGH TO WINNIPEG.
Matter Referred to Department OF
Labor at Ottawa for Immediate
Decision.

Emerson, Man, Sept THE pro-
posal Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads to run Unit
ed States train crews through to Win
nipeg was the object of discussion at
a large meeting which was called by
the board of trade here. The meet
ing was most emphatic in registering
a strong protest against the contem-
plated schedule, which is announced to
become effective Sept. Is, and a COM
mittee was appointed to take action
thought advisable to stop the running
of alien crews in Canadian territory
for Canadian business.
The matter has already been re-
ferred to the department of labor at
Ottawa, by DR.. Molloy, former NJ. P.
for the province, and the federal au-
thorities have signified their intention
of going into the matter thoroughly.
1t is thought that the workings of
the alien labor act will be sufficient
to put Quietus on the project. 1t was
pointed out at the meeting that the
American officials are very strict in
not allowing Canadian crews to run
into terminals in United States terri
tory, the Canadian Northern railway
running into Duluth, being instanced
train having been held up for hours
awaiting the arrival of the American
crew.
A great deal of dissatisfaction is ex-
| pressed by all Canadian Northern en-
plOyes. Some of the oldest men in
the service are on the division and it
would mean moving for them to take
the places of employees elsewhere on
the road

China Power In Hen World

try farms, as a rule Ducks are raised
in immense numbers on farms along
the canals and rivers of central and
south China and are much more com.
mon than chickens. One of the Gus
tomary sights along the grand canal
In mid-China, for example, is that of
a Chinese duck farmer in his boat
watching his flock feed in and along
the canal. The ducks are trained to
obey him, and armed with a long bam-
boo pole to guide them, he controls
their movements and takes them back
to shelter for the night. The surplus
of poultry and poultry products which
China can export annually Is immense.
Up to the present expectation has
taken the form largely of egg products
mostly dried albumen and yolks.

Water Commissioner Would Fix
Limit at One a Week.
Question Has Become Burning One
Throughout State of Massachus-
etts-Head of Board Of
Health Approves.

Boston.-How many baths does a
person require in week?
The above question is being asked
by about every one Of Lynn's 100000
population, and the answers are va
ried ones. Some people claim only
one is necessary, thereby upholding
Water Commissioner Thomas Camp
bell, who has decreed that one bath
every seven days is enough.
Discussion of the subject Is not con-
fined to Lynn, as the question has be-
come burning issue throughout the
state
The water supply at Lynn became
low recently, and Water Commission
er Campbell, seeking to care for the
citys interests, asked that the citizens
content themselves with one bath a
week. The outburst of Indignation

the bathing privilege to twice weekly
He did so grudgingly, however and
still insists that one bath a week
would be sufficient-of course. taking
into consideration the condition that

Chairman Michael Ward of the
board of health said he approved of
the suggestion. He felt that the COM
paratively few who had become accus-
toned to the luxury Of a daily bath
should sacrifice their wishes for the
good Of the many. Their abregation
would be for good purpose. he said.
and rebound to their credit.
Chairman Ward went bit farther
and expressed the belief that many of
the politicians at the city hall should
practice the self-denial asked for. He
said that they were devotees Of the
daily bath and declared that now was

AT WAR OVER BATHS

the time for the city fathers and other
public officials to show their mettle
by putting aside their custom Of bath
ing daily and restraining themselves
for the welfare of the public.
Chairman Ward was asked point
blank If he bathed daily, but he would
not reply. He is, however, the most
outspoken of the city department
heads and believes that the citizens
should battle infrequently for a while.
Street Commissioner McPhetras was
the real brave man in city hall. He
was a boomer of the twice a week
plan and freely stated his conviction
that experience would never disprove
that twice a. week would be too In
frequent bathing for any man. A lot
Of people have been wondering just
what he meant, but his phraseology
was so lawlike they still remain puz-
zled.
Chief Thomas Harris of the fire de-
partment raised a dissenting voice
in the general chorus of approving &C
clamation of the plan. He asserted
vigorously that neither he nor the
other members of the fire department
ought to be included in any restric-
tons prescribing weekly bath or a
biweekly bath.
He said that firemen had to battle
! after every fire and ought to be allow
ed the privilege cor should l say
right" he continued. AS for himself.
he said that on his tours of the city
in his automobile he became covered
with dust every day and that bath
had become mot luxury, but neces-
sity."
The discussion still RACES and it
looks as if the twice-a-week plan would
be adopted. 1t is said to be decided
advantage, viewed either from a sani-
tary, health, or even moral standpoint.

People Have Ever Been Enormous
Poultry Raisers and Exporters
Ducks Are Picked and Dried.

Hongkong-For hundreds of years
China was the greatest poultry produc-
ing nation in the world, and probably
this is true today, not only as regards
the total production, but also per cap
ita use. Of the more than 100000, 900
population of China. shown by the last
census, there are few indeed who do
not in the course of year consume
something in the way Of poultry
chickens or ducks or geese-and GER
tainly large number of eggs. For
considerable portions of the population
poultry is the only animal food used.
and for the more well-to-do classes it Is
an ordinary meat diet the year around.
Ducks are picked, dried, timed and
otherwise preserved and shipped to
many parts of the world to Chinese
who are away from a home supply.
Eggs of all kinds are used fresh and
are cured by burying in clay and lime
until they acquire something Of the
quality of cheese and are a great Chi
nese luxury. It Is easy to calculate
that to meet all these lines of con-
sumption the output of poultry and
poultry products needs to be enor-

For the most part chickens and
ducks are produced upon the usual ba-
