Objectionable matter could find lodg-

catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly

Canadian Lumberjacks in England.

London-Expert Canadian lumber
men are scattered through many for
ests in England cutting down trees for
the purpose Of making battering
ram wherewith to win the war" These
brown, 1.-the backwoodsmen-half
soldier and half trapper-were
brought to England from the dominion
because of their knowledge of the for
ests, to turn into a war asset the vast
and valuable stretches of British tim
Der land. Apart from the timber
proper. which is so much in demand
for military purposes, the byproducts
are valuable, for they include tanning
bark, turpentine and potash.
The first work of the Canadians was
the marking down and surveying of
certain tracts Of forest land, blazing
the trees-mainly the soft wood trees
of pine and tir-and so arranging their
scheme Of attack that the beauties of
the rural scenes would not be unnec-
essarily marred With the arrival OF
the plants and milling machinery the
lumbermen began turning out wood in
all sorts of forms, from railway
ties to matches.
There are still left in England two
and a half million acres of forest, the
Crown woods alone covering about
$4,000 acres.

PRIESTS ACTIVE
At BATTLE FRONT
Catholic, Protestant and Jewish Min.
listers Doing Great Work With
French Soldiers.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of The As
sociated Press,)-A campaign by the
extreme anti-clerical elements of the
radical and socialist parties against
the presence of priests at the battle
fronts in daily contact with soldiers
has brought sharply into public notice
the work which these priests have
done and are doing at the front.
1t required a special intervention to
produce for priests even the priv
lege" of going to the front. Prior to
May, 1913, no chaplains were provid-
ed for the army. The minister of war
at that time provided in a decree that
in case of war two Catholic priests, a
protestant pastor and rabbi, should
be attached to each group of stretcher-
bearers Of an army corps, and two
Catholic chaplains to each division
which had no stretCher-bearers.
Thus about 80 priests and half as
many prOtestants and ISraelites were
authorized to accompany the army
i'When war began, Count Albert de
Nun, since deceased, obtained from
the minister Of war authorization for
priests to enlist as chaplains with the
approval OF their bishops up to the
number of go in addition. Count
Paul Pourtles obtained the same favor
Tor SO more protestant pastors, while
10 additional rabbis were named
The number of priests who have
given their lives on the field of battle
mas not yet been counted. for besides
the chaplalns there are several thou
sand priests incorporated in the auxil-
laFy services, or who volunteered for
active service. A great many deaths.
however, has been reported among the
chaplains under heroic circumstances.

WATCH FOOD LAW
Dealers Handling Vegetables and Pro-

BY Municipal Inspector.
FINDS FLAGRANT VIOLATIONS
Cases In Which Decayed Meats Are
Sold Investigated by DIR. Hollings-
worth During Last Month.

4 striCter observance of the state
and federal laws governing the hand
ling, storage, display and sale of veg
etables and other produce is urged
upon Rock Island dealers by Or. A.
VI. Hollingsworth, municipal food and
weights inspector, at the close of his
monthly report for May. The report
was rendered to Commissioner Liedtke
yesterday by Mr.. Hollingsworth.
A number Of complaints were reg
istered with the inspector, the more
fragrant violations Of the food laws
having been cases in which decayed
meats were sold by market men. The
inspector personally requested II gro
GERS and meat market proprietors to
more strictly observe the pure food
laws and SO dealers were given in
structions on the state and federal egg
laws One investigation was made in
a case where bad eggs we're sold.
Forty-one hotels, restaurants and
meat markets were found where sur
roundings were not properly sanitary,
especially during the fly season. The
prOprietors Of these places were in
formed that they would have to pro-
tect food and produce from the flies.
Inspector Hollingsworth stated in
his report that much OF his time dur
ing the month was spent in instruC-
tons necessary for the introduction
and establishment of the clause in the
milk ordinance which became effec-
tive on May l. This is with relation
TO bottling of milk. Only milk in
bottles can be sold in Rock Island.
Thirty dealers were instructed not
to receive unwashed bottles from
households. One case was found
where a bottle had not been proper
" washed, and the householder and
dealer were warned.

Railroad Presidents as Friends.

I'VE do not want to come" said the
thirteen presidents. Have your play
party without US. We would just spoil
your fun
Come on" said the chamber of COM
merce. Come, eat and listen. You
need not speak"
So that for the first time in the his
tory of the world thirteen railroad
presidents sat in a banquet hall and
were not called on to explain, defend.
apologize or promise. Every now and
then some cheerful Buffalonian would
get up and admit that times were hard.
But they might be worse. he. always
business was beginning to improve.
Every one had a story to tell of some
one else who was making money. They
say that the gratitude of the thirteen
railroad presidents was actually pa
thetic Toward the end of the dinner
hosts right in the eye. Each president
put sort of personal touch in his
handshake when he said goodbye.
Maybe it was the effect of this optim-
ism on the Buffalonians, or maybe it
was on the presidents, or maybe the
hundreds of columns of newspaper
matter that were printed about this
uncommon dinner: at any rate, business
began to brisk up in Buffalo a little
later. More war orders began to come
in A more or less steady betterment
was noticed in most lines until in
August the average manufacturer re-
ported an so to 80 per cent business.
The foundries, of course, were running
to capacity. But their business was
that of war. BY October business in
