TO STOP COTTON WATERING
British Government Plan to Adopt
Legislation Against Practice
in India.

LOndOn.-Communi are now
passing between the India office and
the Indian government on the ques-
ton of Lord Crewe's suggestion that
legislation should be passed to pro-
hibit the watering of cotton in India
Up to the present the Indian gov
eminent has steadily declined on va
rious grounds to undertake legisla-
ton against adulteration in general
but the practice of watering cotton
after ginning to increase its weight
has ASSUMED such proportions that
the government now feels that some
attempt must be made to stop IL by
executive action
Although Indian cotton contains as
a rule less water than American,
Egyptian or Chinese, yet it is well
known that in the cotton districts in
India pumps and hose appliances are
used, without any attempt at secrecy.
to saturate the cotton with water,
which is not always Of the cleanest,
the idea being to cheat the buyer by
selling him water for cotton at so
much a pound. Another form of aduI-
iteration is mixing. The ryot seems
unable to resist the temptation to mix
his damaged OF discOlored bolls with
his sound ones, but even If he does
the result is vitiated by the action OF

through your hair, taking one small

Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's

How Sunday Reached the Frontier.
High principle and humor have ever
made an irresistible combination.
Early merchants on the American
frontier conpicuousIy failed in the OBJ
servance of Sunday; therefore, when
a young New Jersey trader, who had
settled at Louisville, Kentucky, closed
his store on the first Sunday after it
was opened. there was much ado in
the town.
Other establishments kept open;
had he not noticed 1t? he was asked.
Yes, he knew it Why did he close?
He was the first to do so; he must
know that, also.

gument, and although he was the first
to observe the day in town, he soon

found alternating in punches of grass
removed by considerable distances

can be determined by parting the

the mulch of soil and decayed grass
