Paris.-M. Georges Clemenceau, the
French war premier, has addressed
the following message to the Associat-
ed Press from his summer home at
lard, Department Of Vendee, his ma
tive district, on his contemplated visit
to the United States:
81 have no time to make plans. All
can say is that am ready to leave
for America during the first week in
November, there to remain for few
weeks. If the state OF my health per
mits.
81 will arrange the whole matter
with my American friends, who al

Powdered Glass Not Poison.

The idea that powdered glass is an
efficient poison for mice and rats is
quite prevalent. The experimenters
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture have proven that fine or
coarse-ground glass has no Ill effects
on rats. Rats were fed for some time
on food mixed with glass, and they
did not seem to be injured by 1t. And
when examined after being killed, the
alimentary canal was found to be In
normal condition. A suspected mur"
derer was charged with poisoning his
victim with powdered glass. A physi.
clan went on the stand and offered to
swallow a teaspoonful Of the stun IN
open court to prove that the popular
belief on the subject was wrong.

ing for vote in the house Of bishops

sible for women to read certain por.
tions Of the services of the church
