AN OFFENSIVE SMELL.

DR. Osborn and Commissioner
Frank Bogart of the board of health
have made an investigation into the
cause of the bad odors of which GER
tain East Side residents complain
They find that there is a bad SMELL
but they conclude that it comes from
the sewer refuse left on the flats by
the receding tide and not from the
garbage reduction plant. 1t is some
thing TO have the fact that a bad
odor exists at times admitted and it
will be more to have it remedied, if
that can be done. 1t is decidedly the
function of the board of health to
do this. and as the members quoted
seem to feel the obligation, doubtless
what can be done to correct the con-
dition will be-Bridgeport Standard.

The offensive smell is too often met

The offensive smell is too often met
with in thickly populated communi-
ties; and while it is a source of dis
comfort and represents an indefensible
condition of things. it is far from be-
ing the menace to health that it is
sometimes thought to be. The most
dangerous and disease breeding gases
have no discernible odor; and they do
great damage before they are discov-
cred. The offensive smell is a menace
to comfort and peace of mind and it
represents uncleanness, or a slovenli-
ness that is simply intoierable. These
fugo-spots are bad advertisement
for any community: and it is wise
policy to wipe them out as speedily
as possible. whatever the cost.

COST OF LIVING
!. NOW GOES HIGHER
Sharp Advance of Food Product
Prices Owing to Canadian De-
feat of Reciprocity Bill

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Foodstuffs
rose sharply in price in all American
supply centers today as an effect of
the defeat of Canadian reciprocity
Wheat led the advance and was fol-
lowed late in the day by flour. Oats
too felt the effect of the Canadian
vote and consumers may expect soon
to pay increased prices for breakfast
food.
Coffee and sugar had scared prev
ously. The greatest advance in wheat
is recorded at Duluth. There the
traders are paying as high as eight
cents bushel high than before reci-
|procity was rejected. Minneapolis
showed a maximum net advance of
six cents. Increases of less sensa-
tional character are recorded at Kan
sas City, st. Louis, Omaha and Chi
cago.
One of the leading wheat traders
here advanced the opinion that wheat
is due to increase 20 cents bushel
further blow to the consumer may
result in the barley markets, the
price advancing as much as eight
cents in some centers today. This. if
maintained, will mean an increased
cost of materials to brewers and
smaller sized beer glasses may again
become popular with saloon keepers,
Flour and Coffee Advance
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.--There was
another advance in the coffee market
today Rio No 7 being quoted at IA
,1-16 in the street, establishing a new
high record. Raw sugar continues to
rise although refined is unchanged on
the basis of 1915 for granulated
asked by the American. with other re-
finers asking 81 to $3.50. Flour adj
vanced five to ten cents on the pro-
duce exchange, spring patents being
quoted at $40 to $3.50 to the city
trade, with some holding for higher.

A CLUSTER OF CURLS

Only a cluster of golden curls,
Only a bundle of bliss;
Only the laughter of little blue eyes
only her red lips to kiss
Only the ripple of morning divine
Ger golden and beautiful hair
Only the patter of two little feet
Like tinkle of bells on the stair.
Only a chubby and -dimpled fist
Only a baby's bright smile;
Only a hope of happier day
Adown the whole length Of the
mile.
Only a litter of infantile glee.
The sound Of romp and rush
Only the sweet of a little ones life
Beaming down Ger the tolling
worlds hush.
Only these simple and homespunny
things,
But, masters, keep step to the
strain
How strong and how true is the pur-
pose of life
When it marches to childhood's re-
frain!
Only cluster of golden curls.
But ah. what comfort 1t brings
When under it's glory and beauty and
The neart of little child sings!

to the hot sunshine and sudden al
terations of freezing and thawing of
winter. This applies to the trunks
also Water sprouts represent merely
surplus of growth energy and some
times appear in gaps in the tree top
where it is desirable to leave and
nurse them. 1t is only a matter OF
about three years when they will de-
velop fruit spurs and become bearing
branches like the other limbs.
Some pruning. indeed most of it, is
commonly for the purpose of correct
ing bad habits. The best pruning is
that which leaves no bad habits to
correct, but shapes the tree right
from the start and keeps it right by
moderate attention right along.
