Department Finds Much Copper in the
Celery Product.

Washington.-Now you must be care
full of the celery you eat. The depart.
ment of agriculture has discovered that
there is copper in lots of celery and has
issued a warning to housewives to give
it a good washing before putting it On
the table. The copper comes from the
spray used by the farmers 10 kill bugs.
The department says:
THE use of salts of copper in food pro-
ducts was discovered by the referee beard
to be deleterius to health. Under food
inspection decisions las and 149 the i'm
portation of canned fruits and vegeta-
bles greened with copper has been
stopped. This is parallel to the laws
of France, where the use of copper ves-
sells is forbidden in packing food pro.
ducts.
"The proof Of the presence of copper
in raw celery was obtained by analysis
of samples of celery offered for sale in
the markets Of the District of Columbia
and other cities. Analysis Of four differ
ent samples of celery showed that be-
fore washing the edible Fart of the out.
side stalks contained from 81 to 29.2
parts of copper per million, or less than
l-e to IL grain of copper per 21-2
pounds of celery"

COTTON PLANT MADE
BETTER PROGRESS
PAST WEEK WAS PROBABLY MOST
FAVORABLE OF SEASON.
PLANT IS FRUITING HEAVILY
High State of Cultivation Kept Up and
Plant in Condition to Withstand
Any Kind of Extreme With
Least Damage.

Memphis, Tenn.-The past week was
probably the most favorable Of the sea
son on the cotton crop. At least the
crop made better progress than during
any other similar period this year. I'm
der the stimulus of good rains, plenty OF
sunshine and warm days and nights the
plant made splendid growth, and while
still a bit late, made up much lost time
during the week. The plant is strong
and stocky, is beginning to branch out
and is blooming and fruiting heavily.
Rains fell in sections all over the belt
during the week. They were the. heav'
lest and more nearly general in Texas
and Oklahoma, where practically the en-
tire area of both states received good
rains. In the central valley the droutf
was relieved, except in a few scattered
localities that comprise a very small to
tai area. In the east no great need Of
moisture had been felt, but good rains
were falling at the end of the week.
The high state OF cultivation that ha'
characterized the crop from the star
was in no want abated during the week
Fields are almost universally clean ant
filth of soil is probably more nearly per
feet than ever before known. This fea
ture of the crop places the plant in thu
best of shape to withstand either droutl
or rain with the least possible damage.
There is still complaint of boil weevi
in infested districts. They are very MI
merous in sections of Mississippi am
Louisiana, but the damage to date i
hardly worth mentioning. Farmers ar
continuing a relentless war against tn
pest and in some sections they seem b
have won their fight.

HAPPINESS OF NATURE.

Some OF us have lived SO long In
the narrow and pretty circles OF SELF
interest. and have moved along a
course OF life so shut away from Ma
lures secrets and her suggestions.
that We have lost all power to be
stirred by the pictures and sounds OF
her rebuilding. II the processes
abroad in the world at this season OF
the year do not move US to high sym
patty and profound hope We are IN a
pretty bad way. A journey into the
countryside and over the hills. even
at this early period in nature re-
~juvenation Of the earth. is a panacea
for the restlessness and the cynicism
that our constant attention TO the
jmperfections Of common humanity
entails. There is no bitterness. no
malice, no jealousy, no vile suspicion
and tainted friendship IN the work
shop OF the earth during the busy
preparatory springtime. Every living
thing is bent on making the most OF
the opportunity that Nature calls 1t
to. Long ago little tufts Of grass,
hidden away in the sheltered places,
began to shed their coats of dead
brown and to put on the delicate
green garb OF spring The past week
OF warm sunshine has started a veri-
table whirlwind Of housecleaning out
IN the woods and over the pasture
fields, says the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times. The farmer and the country
folk are the royal guests OF the earth
these days. They have US city folks
at a serious disadvantage. We can
only make little temporary runs out
into the edge OF Natures busy work
shop. but the farmer folk a claim
all the sweetest secrets Of the earth's
rebuilding.

CHILDREN VERSUS CATTLE
Pres. Fairchild Demands Radical Reor.
ganizdtion of N. E. A.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The address Of
President Edward T. Fairchild, who rec
commended radical reorganization, and
the report OF the committee on health
problems, which charged that more at
tention was given to cattle than chill
dren, attracted interest at the National
Educational Associations sessions here
Monday.
President Fairchild recommended an
advisory council of three persons, two
to serve for a term Of years, the third
to be the president OF the association.
He declared this reorganization mecca
sary, because the association lacks con-
tinuity Of action.
The. investigation into the neglect Of
the moral and physical health of school
children will be pursued further.
in many sections of the country the
average rural school house, in relation
to its purpose, is not as well kept or as
healthful as a good stable, dairy barn,
pigpen or chicken-house," declared DR..
Thomas r. Wood of Columbia Univer-
sity.
DR.. r. w. Corwin Of the University
OF Colorado said that $4,000, 900 out Of
20, 000, 900 school children in the United
States are diseased.

ROLLER COASTER HURTS 80
Two Probably Will Die as Result Of
Accident.

New York.-Thirty persons were in
jared, two of them probably fatally,
when two trains of cars on the scenic
railway at Palisades Park crashed to-
xether Sunday evening hurting them
through the air upon the structure and
to the ground below. The cause of the
accident is believed to have been de-
fective brakes or motors on one Of the
trains, which slid backward down n 65-
foot incline into the other train, that was
dashing behind it at express speed from
the town of the first stop, 90 feet high.
Another explanation was that the starter
had sent cut the second train before the
first was completely out of the danger
zone indicated by the red lights of the
elaborate block system installed for safe
ty upon the coaster.

SEVEN STABBED IN
FIGHT At REUNION
VETERAN IN BLUE RESENTED
ABUSE OF LINCOLN.
SCENE IN HOTEL DINING ROOM
Rosrng Storm Lowers Temperature,
Drenches Campeveterans Leaving.
Lashed Down Tents and
Seemed to Enjoy Rain.

Gettysburg, Pa.-seven men were
stabbed Wednesday night in a fight in
the dining room OF the Gettysburg Ho-
tel, as n result of a fight which started
when several men aroused the anger OF
an old veteran in blue by abusing Lin
coin. Several of the wounded men are
in a serious condition at the Pennsyl-
vania State Hospital. The state con-
stabulary are making desperate efforts
to find the men who did the stabbing.
According to all the information the
authorities could gather, the fight started
suddenly and was over in a few minutes.
1t began shortly before Z o'clock, when
the dining room was full of people, and
caused a panic among the scores OF
guests. The men who were stabbed,
according to the information the sur
geons gathered, jumped to the defense
of the veteran when the others closed in.
Knives were out in n second, and the
room was thrown into an uproar. 1t was
all over before the rest of the men in
the room could get their breath and the
men responsible for it had fled.
The man who the police charge with
doing the ~stabbing gave his name as W.
B.. Henry, Philadelphia. He claimed to
be a son of R. r. Henry, of Tazewell,
Va, . general in the Confederate army.
Henry, with tne or two companions,
was seated at a table and there was Q
general talk about the war, which soon
developed ugly feeling. Finally, sccord-
ing to eye-witnesses, Henry applied .
vile epithet to Abraham Lincoln. 1t was
resented holly by a Union veteran, who
seized a glass or bottle and threw it at
Henry. Immediately there was an up
roar and Henry, according to the version
the c~onstabulary gives, jumped to his
feet, drew a knife and began slashing
at those nearest to him. Tables were
upset, bottles, glasses and other missiles
flew through the air. One eyewitness
said Henry chased him around the room
first stabbing him in the arm, then stab
bing him in the back.
A roaring storm swept down out Of the
Blue>Ridge Plateau of Gettysburg, bring
ing needed relief to thousands of vet
