TO AVERT BUTTON FAMINE
Artificial Propagation Of Pearly Mus
sells is Being Given Most Serious
Consideration.

A great laboratory has been es-
tablished on the Mississippi river,
says the National Geographic Maya
zne, where experiments have been in
progress to determine how the pearly
mussels may be artificially increased
so that the many factories making
buttons therefrom may not have to
shut down following the exhaustion
of the musseI beds by unregulated
fishing.
An entirely new problem in aqui-
culture was here presented, and has
now been satisfactorily solved
through the discovery that the young
mussels, while still in a microscopic
larval stage, must attach themselves
to the gills of particular fishes IN Or
der to develop, and that unless the
fishes for which the different kinds
of mussels have a selective affinity
are available none of the young will
ouIflNt.
The fish hosts of the various i'm
portant button-making mussels have
been determined and it is the prov
ince of the laboratory to provide
those fishes and have them inoculate
themselves by swimming in tanks or
ponds In which the spawning mus
sells have been placed When a fish
Is sufficiently infected, it is turned
loose IN the river, and in a few
weeks the young mussels, having at
tanned a proper development, be-
come detached from the gills, fall to
the bottom of the stream, and begin
then independent existence

QUICK DEATH TO REACHES
English Investigator Recommends the
Use of Bromine and Sulphur
Oioxide.

DR.. Joseph j. H. Holt of England:
who for two OF three years has perse-
cuted the restless roach with all the
e which science could suggest,
publishes the casualties in the
Lancet.
He has powdered his insect enemy
with everything from quinine to
mustard, suffocated him with poison
GUS gases and boiled him IN oil Alto
gether this indefatigable doctor has
experimental with no less than 124
methods of dealing with the pest.
The best agents for quick de-
struction are bromine and sulphur
dioxide. These agents must be used
at least once a day for two or three
weeks before the reaches definitely
decide hat the immediate atmos-
phere is unhealthy AS the room
should be sealed when the gases are
used, the method Is lmpracticable
for household use.
C~reosote, wood naphtha or the oil
of rosemary, eucalyptus or citronella,
placed daily nea their haunts for
several weeks, will ~effectually rid the
place of them, but of course the odor
of such an agent is somewhat pun
gent. A busting powder naturally
suggests itself, and Holt finds that
the powdered sodium fluoride is the
best and cheapest for that purpose.

IDEA FOR BOOKSELLERS.

A big book shop always seems to
us a most confusing place. In such
an embarrassment of riches, which
way is one to turn? To guide one to
what is really worth while there
should be an announcer as at the
railway terminals, shouting in an
enormous voice: "This way for En-
erson, Amy Lowell and points north
of Boston. This track for Ernest
Dowson and way stations on the De-
cadent division. This aisle for Jo-
seph Conrad and the Anglo-Russian
school. This train for Spoon River,
Vachel Lindsay and the Chicago
slum poets. Life.

TO CONQUER WHITE PLAGUE
With Unremittins Care Any Child Can
Be Saved From Dreaded
tuberculosis

If there are children in a family
where there is tuberculosis, they can
be protected by scrupulous care and
may remain healthy and strong, says
DR.. S. Adolphus Knopf In the Medi-
cal Record. This are must consist
not only in avoiding sources of in
lection, but by developing the child
into a physically strong being which
can resist the invasion Of the tubercle
bacillus
The mother should make an open
air baby of each of her children, feed
them carefully and plentifully, keep
their skin scrupulously clean, follow
ing the warm bath for the babies
with a rapid rubbing with her hands
dipped in cold water The openair
kindergarten and the openaIr school
are the only proper places to educate
a child p~redisposed to tuberculosis.
Teach such a child breathing exer.
clses; do not bundle 1t up, but dress
it comfortably, according to the sea,
son At the time the girl grows into
womanhood do not compress the OF
gans In the chest and abdomen by
tight lacing,
1t goes without saying that the
mother, n 20 matter what station of
life she may move, should also dress
sensibly and never again wear the
trailing skirt which collected from
the sidewalk tuberculous sputum
and dirt containing the germs Of
diphtheria, pneumonia and consump-
ton, to be later on deposited on the
carpets of the children's playroom.

CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN BUSY
Record Sum Was Sent to the Fund
During Last Fiscal Year. Il
Is Reported.

The treasury department reports
that during the last fiscal zeal the
conscience fund" has been increased
by more than $4,000, the largest
amount ever contributed before in
one year How busy conscience has
been measuring itself in terms of
dollars and cents may be judged by
contrasting this contribution with
the niggardly $3.50 received in 1881,
the year the fund came into exist
ence.
In fact, conscience has recently
been unusually active, not only in
enriching the federal treasury, but
in helping private and public cor
porations and individuals. An Ohio
man paid % cents for apples stolen
six years ago; a Californian paid a
newspaper subscription SO years
overdue !; a oma sent stamps to a
Kansas City street railway company
10 pay for four rides, and IL Pennsyl-
vanian paid up a hotel bill ne
skipped rs years ago. lilly Sunday
r~evivals, religion, an awakened pub
lie, civic or national Righteousness
have all been held responsible.
But where conscience had a clear
field for good it seems to have failed.
There is nothing to indicate that ii
made even a dent in congress 1t has
not struck the places of Europe's
high and mighty hard enough to end
the carnage of battlefield 1t has yet
time enough to awaken in the soul
OF the orators. And what a chance
of a mans lifetime it Will have

land at once repaired to Moose head
quarters, where there they were
warmly welcomed, and enjoyed wit
Messing the ritual work, which was
ably put on by those veteran Moose.
The Lakeland delegation was af-
terward called upon to say some
thing, and as Lakeland always does,
gave a good account of herself.
One of the most prominent fea-
lures of the evening was a talk by
Judge M. III. Cohen, vice dictator
on Moosedom. Mr.. Cohen, having
been sent by his Lodge as delegate
to Mooseheart, H., saw many things
in the grand work there which is
every day being done for the thou
sands of children of deceased men,
bers of the order. He is a fluent
and eloquent speaker and impresses
his hearers with his vivid recita-
tions
After all business was finished, a
splendid supper was spread and done

crowd returned before the "wee
sma" hours feeling better for having
visited the Tampa Lodge.

The Guild of st. Agnes met in
regular session on Monday, Sept.

Smith was unable to be present ow-
ing to the illness of her son, who,
we are glad to state is much i'm

helpful suggestions, one especially
referring to a corporate communion
for the Guild once a month. 1t was
decided to have this corporate COM
munion on the third Sunday in each
month. at 1880 a. M, beginning on
Oct Is. 1t is hoped that all Guild
members will make an effort to be
present at this time, as the spiritual
side of the Guild needs inspiration as
much as the material. Inc regular
routine of business was taken up and
disposed of. Adjournment was
made to meet again on Oct. 9, as
next Monday is Auxiliary" day.
Those present were Mesdames

BOARD DIRECTORS
OF AUDITORIUM
Make STATEMENT
REGARDING SALE

realizing that the people have
right to know the status Of the An
uitorium before voting for or against
the purchase of the proerty bv the
city, the directors make a statemen,
as follows:
The amount of stock issued and
PAID 1or at par was $4,000.
Inc amount borrowed from tho
Florida Life Insurance Co. on mort
gage was $1,000.
Inc amount borrowed from indi-
Vlduals and secured by second mort
sage was $4,000.
The amount borrowed from indi-
vlduals, without mortgage and past
due accounts, $1,000.
Total amount, $4,000.
All OF which was invested in the
property, together with a sum rang
ing from one to two thousand dol
lars which was realized from adver-
tisements on curtains, etc.
1t has taken all the net results to
pay interest, taxes, insurance and
light and water bills. So the stock
holders have not received ANYTHING
on their investment.
The time has arrived when the in
debtedness must be paid and the
stockholders must invest another
$1,000 or let the property sell, I'M
der the mortgages. 1t is impossible
for the stockholders to agree to pay
off the Indebtedness by taking more
stock or otherwise, therefore, the
property will be sold to the city or
to other parties.
Sixteen or more individuals have
given their personal endorsements
on the Indebtedness of the Auditor
ium and will be compelled to protect
themselves if the sale is made under
mortgage, which may result in the
parties buying the property to keep
from paying security debt and get
ting nothing in return. The new
owners will probably use the prop
erty in the way that will bring the
best results, which will result in it
not being used for an Auditorium
any longer.
A careful study of the last four
years business will show that the
city can more than pay the interest
on the $4,000 in bonds and all 9TH
er expenses and have the free use OF
the building for all general purposes
The city bonds will be per cent and
the association paid from 7 to ~
per cent. The cost to the city for
light would be nominal, the cost to
the association was full price. The
city pays no taxes. The clerical and
notice force of the city can look at
ter the building while the associa-
ton had to hire man.
The directors feel it to be their
duty to call attention to these things
but want it expressly understood
that they urge no one to vote Tor
buying the Auditorium. In view OF
the public nature of the property, IL
would not be right for us to allow 1t
TO sell without giving the city a
chance to buy it. But If the city
does not want it, there is no harm
done and matters will take their nat
ural course.
