New York. Price. H.25 net.
This collection OF long and short
stories by this talented Russian con-
tains several gems-wonderful examples
OF that passion for the smallest detail
which distinguishes the writer's of the
modern Russian school. Translated into
English by Adeline Lister Kaye, who in
a preface, also give a brief synopsis Of
each story the book forms an interest
ing addition to the art of short story
telling.
The most gripping tale is that of The
Steppe,' the story from which the title
for the volume is taken. The finest por-
trayal of Russian character is perhaps
that of certain Bielkov. in the story
called He Who Wore hUsk"
y he book contains nine stories, all in
te""Stirg and models of their kind.

with the problem of cleaning and

girls have done ell the work connect

fire In the kitchen range and have
done ali the cleaning and all the
laundry work.
The girls have been divided into
groups OF about ten, one group un-

Monday and Tuesday evenings from
7:3o to $40: a third division attends

The group OF girls having sewing

SPRING CLEANUP WILL BE BEGUN IN
 MIDDLE OF APRIL
Boy Scouts will Join With Health Board in EIina-
 mating Rubbish.

Rev. Walter T. Aiken, Scout Com missioner of the Bridgeport branch of the Boy Scouts of America will have charge of the boys end of the annual city cleanup campaign. which will be waged by the board of health in this city April IT to 24 in elusive. No other heads of boys or ganizationS appeared at the meeting of the commissioners last night, though it was hoped the United Boy Scouts, the Boys Brigade and simi- lar bands of young workers would aid.
 It was claimed that methods sirni- lar to those pursued last year will be adopted and 10000 printed blanks for househo1ders' promises and reports Of clean-ups, as well as TOO badges for the boys were ordered Scout Comlnissioner Aiken, agreed last night that should other organizations desire to participate they will be aI- lotted certain sections in the city that thew ork might not conflict.
 A dump on Holland avenue and, Ash street, where paper and other refuse often becomes ignfted to the jeopar- dy of the Ives Mfg. Co., was discuss ed Secretary Dunbar reported this as very insanitary and. said that steps would be taken to eliminate the nui- sance.

 Incinerator discussion last night showed the necessity for wording of an appeal to the council for Ire fuse disposaI' plant rather than an incinerator. Experts have reported to members of the board that incin- Iteration does not necessarily eliminate smoke or smell, and before any re- quests are made for bonds full and lacomplete investigation of methods with the possible employment of an expert to advise the board may be re- sorted to.

ANTS AND THE SALOON

fEsroin Mrs w B. Williams, Anti
 Suffragi7t.)
 Why are the Anti-S Saloon workers also Anti -Suffrag gists? For it is the Anti Saloon people who are fighting Woman Suffrage in Alabama and were a powerful factor in it's recent defeat in Ohio. Perhaps the fol- lowing facts about woman suffrage states may have something to do with it. San Francisco alone boasts of $500 saloons and prohibition was overwhelmingly defeated i'm Califor- mia last. Fall Indeed things went so far that the question of fprohfbi- ton cannot be brought up again in this state for many years. Again. the report of the Collector sof Inter nal Revenue for 1918 showed that in proportion to population two liquor. li- censes were issued in Woman Suffrage states to one in States where men alone voted. In this connection let us not forget the recent scandal in Seattle, where the notorious Mayer lily. Gill was elected last Spring by a big majority. He carried every ward but one although in his earlier ad- rninistratfon he had been the open and avowed chanpion of the saloon and the edisorderly house
 Tn this same line is the port that Sylvia Pankhurst was the principal speaker of a delegation which re- gently visited the War once In Lon don in order to protest against the TyrannicaI 'fInan made rule that soldiers wives receiving separate aI- lowanees must not get drunk or lead scandaIous lives.

In Q. day or two his bowels get loose and the refuse from them smells very bad, is of a whittish, foamy consistency The next day he begins to throw up and no solid food will stay on his stomach for from 2 to days. He has acted thus ever since he was a baby. Every one said it was his teeth, but now know diff ferently- He is a big. strong child at other times, but when he plays he gets so excited that his eyes look like a wildcats The least excitement makes him nervous. He likes to lie on his face when sleeping. He eats heartily and Is very fond of soups and meats. Most people take him to be or 5 years old.

them as evenly as possible over the bottom of the hole, and cover with 2 or 3 inches of fine top soil as before. Tramp firmly with the feet and fill the hole with good earth, leaving the surface loose and a. little higher than the surface of the surrounding soil. When the work of planting is com- pleted the tree should stand about 2 inches deeper than it stood in the nursery.
 In order to insure symmetry of growth trees must be allowed unre- stricted area for development. At least 40 feet should be allowed be- tween trees intended to occupy the ground permanently. Quick growing temporary trees may be planted be- tween the lived ones to produce immediate results, but these should be removed as soon as they interfere with the development of the perma- nent plantations.
 The lists of trees and shrubs com tained in this publication are merely suggestive but in all eases they in clude such sorts as are well adapted to the regions.

vtyATER, MosouEroEs, naALARIA

The direct relationship between water. mosquitoes. and malaria is a well recognized one, and for that req son a study of the effects of the dam ming of waterways is advantageous. The question which demands an an swer is, whether or not a, given localf- ty will become more or less heaIthfuI, or remain unaffected, when the flow the water is disturbed. At first glance 1t might appear that if a greater quantity of water is impounded. there will be greater opportunities for the breeding of mosquitoes, This is not the case, however. as it is not in deep, but in shallow water that eggs are deposited The consequence is that places which were maIarial may be rendered healthfuI if there is enough water to i'll up the shallow areas and give an opportunity for action to the many factors that tend to keep down the propagation of the
 mosquito.
 One of the deterrent influences is the variation in the rise and fall of the pond according to whether or not the water is being drawn off for IcommercfaI purposes. The rise dur ing the night in one instance, during low water season, varied from nine to twelve inches to as much as two feet These changes of elevation within a shorter time than the cycle of devel- opment of the nosquito,s interfere with breeding Many of the larvae are left strandedy others are more OK posed to destruction by fish. Like- l wise pond is more easily affected by winds, and in this way fewer larvae survive
 As d result Of this investigation the conclusion drawn is, that such ponds, the older they become, the, less and less suitable they will be for the breeding of mosquitoes Instead of being a menace to the ne1ghborho ood
 therefore, the indications are that the retention of water for economic uses will tend to decrease the amount of malaria in the immediate vicinity.- N. '. Medical Journal.

to improve his condition.

MILD. A. .
 In regard to your little boy I am going to make two suggestions: The first one is that you take him to a thoroughly reliable and skilful home opathic surgeon and have him ex- anined for phiInosis. If that condi- ton exists have him circumcised inn mediate1y. I am inclined to think that that is the principal cause Of his trouble, although it is possible that the difficulty originates from the manner in which he eats. You say that he eats very heartily of soups, meats. etc. A child of that age should have but little meat and whatever food he does eat he should be taught to masticate very thor ougaIy. Nothing should be allowed in the way of drink while the food is ! in the mouth. He should be given all Hiof the milk and water he cares for at any time except when food is in the mouth. Sleeping face downwards | is beneficial rather than otherwise.
