A canvass of the floor members of
the Stock Exchange showed that up TO
shortly before the closing yesterday
more than $50 had signed the petition
favoring a suspension Of business Sat
urday, in addition to Labor Day. 1t
now seems foregone conclusion that
the brokers will have a triple holiday.
The board of managers of the Cotton
Exchange has already taken that ac-
ton, voting yesterday TO close Satur-
day. The New Orleans Cotton Ex-

HOW TO TRAP SUCCESSFULLY
Two Ways of Taking the Wary Mink Snare Into Which "Brer Fox"
 May Fall.

If mink makes a hole through 8 snowdrift he will use it again and a trap set in 1t will catch him.
 After cold weather sets in, when setting in shallow water for mink, choose a place where the current runs swiftly and is not likely to freeze up.
 When trapping foxes use No. double spring trap. This style of trap Is known as "the fox trap"
 If you wish to be real foxy and cunning yourself, try setting three traps, une in an old path without any covering. and one on each side, skill fully covered. The fox will give all his attention to the uncovered trap and by going around it may step into one of those on the side.
 It Is not much use to try to trap foxes or any other such wary animal without 6 good scent.
 An ear of corn stuck in the mud near trap makes an excellent bait for coon.
 One of the best places to look for coon signs is in a cornfield.

COULD NOT SEE BEE-BOMBS
Washington Authorities Turned Down Suggestion That Was Made In
 Perfect Seriousness.

It would be hard to say which of the many impractical suggestions toward "winning the war" that occurred to individuals and were submitted to Washington was the most ina ginative, but conscripting the busy bees cer- tainly deserves honorable mention. Enormous numbers of these mellifer- ous or anthopilous aculeate hymenop- terous insects as the dictionary calls them. were to be distributed by air planes over the enemy trenches, pre- sunably by dropping what might be called bee-bombs, and the confusion that would follow may easily be imag- ined by anybody who has ever got into trouble with n single beehive. But the military experts failed to see the util- ity of the scheme. Perhaps they fore saw that the enemy would promptly provide himself with netting and de- wise bee-armor. The aviators who dis tributed the bee-bombs would natural ly have been called apiators. The idea was ridiculous, but let those laugh who have never thought of something that seemed sensible in the evening and ab- surd next morning.

YOUNG WIDOW EXTRACTS
 TESTIMONY SHE GAVE
Decessa, Son of Norwalk Hotel Keeper. and Law yer Involved in Effort to Hamper With Gov ernment Witness Federal Authorities Know Hiding Place of Woman

Already accused of White Slavery, Nick Decessa of South Norwalk, may be charged with another Federal violation, that Of tampering with a govern ment witness, within a few days.
 On February 4th Decessa was ar rested by Agents of the Department Of Justice and arraigned before Uni ted States Commissioner Hugh Lav- cry, charged with transporting Ethel Stoots, a young South Norwalk widow, to places in New York and South Carolina. A Federal warrant was is sued and Decessa was released unde- a bond of s10,O0O. Decessa's father, a hotel proprietor of South Norwalk, furnished the bond.
 When the Stoots woman learned that Decessa was released on bond she immediately applied to the Federal authorities for protection fearing bod fly harm at the hands of Decessa against whom she had made affidavit embodying the acts of which he is accused.
 
 government agents brought her to New Haven where she was lodged in a comfortable and secluded hiding place. Decessa, however, learned of her hiding place and went to New Haven where he succeeded with threats and cajolery in getting her back to South Norwalk where she made affi- davits retracting her former state ments under which evidence the war | rant against Decessa was drawn. It is said that Decessa appealed to several lawyers before he succeeded in getting one to draw the affidavits of the StOotS woman in which she retracted her former statements. Decessa has succeeded in keeping the woman in hiding since locating her in New Haven. She has twice failed to appear before Commissioner Laverey and consequently Decessa's s hearing has been continued on two occasions. Federal Agents are now certain that they know where the woman Is in hiding. She will be inn mediately apprehended and placed in Jail under a Federal charge. It Is possible that a lawyer interested in the case may become involved in charges of aiding and abetting the tamrperdng with a government wit ness.

PROOF OF BIBLICAL TRUTH
Religious Writer Points Out Parallel Between Germany and the Re-
 corded Fall of Man.

The world war has brought to the fore striking illustrations of the truth of Bible doctrines as usually interpre- ted by what Is called the old theology. Glance for/a moment at some of the old Bible truths that the war has illus trated and vindicated.
 Take, for example, the fall of man as recounted in Genesis. Some have had difficulty with this fundamental doctrine of the Bible. I was talking short time ago with a brilliant young college man, steeped in the scientific skepticism of the age, and he said:
 But, doctor, think how irrational Is the theory that man fell in a garden, just created by an all-wise and all- powerful Godl"
 I replied by pointing out the very interesting fact that modern Germany also fell in a garden. There was not n country upon the earth more blest and prosperous than Germany. Her progress In all lines, except morals and spirituality, had been marvellous. If she had remained true to right ideals she would have gone on un- doubtedly into the leadership of the whole earth. But even in that garden of prosperity and peace the devil of selfishness, untruth and false ambition entered, and the ruling classes fell, and, like the fall in Eden, carried oth- CTS down with them.-Dr. John Roach Straton in Christian Herald.

FLAUNT WEALTH DUE TO WAR
Extravasanees induIged In by Japan's "NewIy Rich" Have Brought Forth
 Bitter Condemnation,

Mir. Shioiri, a Tokyo barrister, in the Horitsu Shimbun Claw JournaD refers to some remarkable examples of the extravaganza indulged in by certain "narikin." It is said that a weil-known mine owner in Kyushu gave a dinner party in Tokyo recently to. 50 guests at 300 yen a head. The caterer, somewhat at a loss to know how to "go the limit" provided a "geisha" for each guest, engaging all the most expensive members of the profession who were available.
 A Kobe "narikin' entertained some guests to dinner at 8 Tokyo restaurant the other day. the cost per head being 100 yen. A "funa-narikin,' during a stay at Ikao, ordered by telephone from Tokyo restaurant two dishes Of "unogidomburi' on condition that the food should arrive hot after travelling about 100 miles. The proprietor of the restaurant took the order, engaged a motorcar, fixed up a "bibachi" to keep the food hot, and delivered the goods at the mountain resort in two hours and a half. returning with 200 yen in his pocket.
 MT. Shioiri fears there will be many more cases of crazy waste of money by "narfkin,'' who, he says, are stingy enough in donating money for the re- lief of the poor or sufferers from scalamities. "They are simply mad men whose actions corrupt public man. ners and morals"
 The TvoLvo harrfSter thipks that inst as 1t was legal under the feudal sys- tenn to confiscate the property of such swollen-headed men, it would be ad- visable today to levy a heavy impost upon them so that they may be pre- vented from repeating such foolish ac- tions as those referred to.

Heating the House.

The proper temperature for various rooms of the home are as follows, The living room should be 70 degrees, no more. It should be occasionally aired so that 1t does not become close, but the doors should be kept closed into the hall. The dining room and kitchen should be heated to 65 degrees. Most kitchens rise higher than that. The bedrooms should be heated not at all, except for the little time that the occu- pants use them for dressing. The bathroom should be made as warm as you choose and the halls should be given no special heat, as we are all ways exercising when we are going through them.

ACCOMMODATION OR SELF POISONING
'FRUIT-A-TIVES" Absolutely Pre-
 vents This Dangerous Condition.

2He eAief cause of poor AeolM is our neglect of the bowels. Waste matter, instead of passing from the lower intestine regularly every day, is allowed to remain there, generating poisons which are absorbed by the blood.
 In other words, q person who is habitually constipated, Is poisoning himself. We know now that AHto- 5ntoxieatfon, due to non-action of the bowels, is directly responsible for serious Kidney and BladderTroubles; that 1t upsets the Stomach, causes Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and Sleeplessness that chronic Rheum- atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, arc relieved as soon as the bowels become regular; and that Pimples, Rashes, Eczema and other Skin Affections disappear when "Fruit-a-tives" are taken to correct Constipation.

Clever Engineering Feat.

Bisecting long boats so that they could be taken through the Welland canal was considered an interesting feat a short time ago, but this has been surpassed, according to the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. The Charles R. Van Hise, a 1o,0O0ton boat, was wanted for Atlantic service. It had a 50-foot beam, whereas the canal is only 44 feet wide. The boat was cut in two and each half was turned on its side in order to be taken through the locks. Floating in this position each section cleared the lock sides by just inches.

Marie's American Anthem,

In far away France little Marie, aged six, visited the Red Cross hos. pital near her home every day, and became very popular with the conva- lescent American soldiers there. She soon became very good friends with the soldiers and they delighted to teach her scraps of English. When they sang she joined them in their American songs. One day, in Marie's school, teacher asked her class the title of Americas national anthem. The class looked blank, until Marie, with flash of inspiration, jumped to her feet and announced, Hail Hail ! the Gangs All Here," in quaint, rolling English.

Thinks Many Will Fly.

The principal of one of the chief American schools for airplane mechan- ics thinks that flying is going to be the next great American amusement. He reminds us that our aviation corps has contained a great many young men of large wealth who have shown themselves good sportsmen. They can afford to buy and maintain their own machines and, having become accus- toned to a speed of a hundred and fifty miles an hour, will find the ordi. nary modes of travel tame.-Youth'a Companion.
