Later he was aid to Gen. Putnam and

this letter is found in the following QUO
tation:
You, in my opinion. carry your ideas
of delicacy too far. when you propose to
drop your pay while the recovery of
your health necessarily requires your ao-
sence from the service. It is not Gus
tomary, and it would be unjust. You.
therefore, have leave to retire until your
health is so far re-established as to en-
able you to do your DUTY"

BEWARE OF COPPER
IN EATING CELERY


Now, you must be careful OF the celery
you eat. Almost everything else edible
has been condemned or officially "sus-
pected" at one time or another, but cell
cry had managed to escape up to this
time. Now the Department of Agricul
ture has discovered that there is copper
In lets of celery. and has issued a warn
ing to housewives TO give II a good wash
ing before putting It on the table. The
copper comes from q spray used by the
farmers to kill bugs. The department
rays.
THE use of salts of copper In food
products was decided by the referee
board to be deleterious TO health. Under
food inspection decision. 14s and 1is. the
importation of canned fruits and canned
vegetables greened with copper has been
stopped. This Is parallel to the laws
OF France, where the use Of copper yes,
sells is forbidden in packing food prod
ucts.
"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 Column
bIa and other cities. Analysis of four
different samples of celery showed that
before washing the edible part Of the
outside stalks contained from 81 to 81
parts of copper per million, or less than
one-cixth to one-half of copper per two
and cne-quarter pounds Of celery.
The copper in the inside or heart of
stalks was much smaller in amount and
ranged from s3 to 1913 perts per million.
In the leaves of the celery. however,
which are the parts of the plant especial
ly sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. there
were found from 1916 TO 1854 parts Of
copper per million parts. The chemists
found that most of the copper in the
inner and outer stalks disappeared on
washing.

Hill of the navy. whose dead body was
found in his room at local boarding
house yesterday afternoon with a bullet
wound through the heart, and whose
death a coroner's inquest pronounced the
result of a suicide, are still at sea as to
a motive of the young officer in taking
hi. life. Lieut.. Hills fellow officers at
l., naval postgraduate school, where
he was the leading student in a class in
ordnance, are appalled, over the tragedy.
The young officer had, ever since his en-
trance to the academy as midshipman,
maintained an excellent scholastic and
military record.
The theory advanced by a number of
the officers is that Lieut. Hill must have
been I'm a temporary state of insanity
when he fired the fatal shot. To support
this belief. 1t Is said. that the young off,
Ger had brooded great deal lately. be-
cause he thought he had tuberculosis or
some other serious physical aff1iction.
Academy authorities have received q
telegram from Ed c. Hill, relative. that
he had started from his home In Fort
Dodge Iowa. for Annapolis, to take
charge of the body.
1t was reported here this afternoon that
Lieut.. Hill had just passed his mental
examinations for promotion to the grade

CLARK IN BALTIMORE
Speaker Told Friends Will Not
Forget Him Three Years
Hence.

BALTIMORE. Md. May 1O.-Speaker
Champ Clark this afternoon addressed
a meeting here of the Maryland State
Federation of Teachers. He was intro
duced by Mayor Preston, who said that
as a candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation. he had his friends from the At
lantic to the Pacific. land three years
hence will have them again"
The Speakers response was that he
didn't forget his friends, or his enemies,
either.
Mr.. Clark said that the school system
of this country is not going to be good
until the teachers are paid enough to
make 1t life profession. 1t was his
opinion that failure in mental examina-
tons of the majority Of applicants for the
Naval Academy and West Point in a
measure was due to the lack Of system
in teaching in the public schools He
said the boys were decidedly weak in
arithmetic. spelling. grammar, punctua-
ton, geography and history.
The speaker predicted that the time
soon would come when women would be
permitted to shape the affairs of the city
the state and the nation.
