Poison in the Home

We are very particular about hav

put in a queer. ugly bottle, a bell on
the cork, a red label marked with the
tragic mask of death. 1t must be
stored on a high shelf in a locked
cabinet. And we throw it into the
sewer as soon as we can get rid of the
necessity for its presence in the house
at all.
We are now on the trail of the
food producers. Food must be pure,
1t must come up to the standard of
what the best dieticians demand for
children's food. It's nourishing quail.
ties must be preserved. It's cleanli.
ness safeguarded beyond all doubt
Upon that food the healthy growth of
our children depends.
At the slightest breath of suspicion
against the purity of the milk supply
we are up in arms. The milk must be
beyond suspicion. 1t is the primary
food of infancy and childhood. TO
feed polluted milk to children is a
crime. 1t touches murder Woe to
him WHO pollutes the milk of child.

Hop Tree.


The only member of hte rue
family-to which belong lemon and
lime, orange and grapefruit, and the
old fashioned rue of the gardens
which is native with us in the Dis
trict of Columbia is the hop tree. In
childhood 1 knew it by the name of
money tree, because the fruits are
like little 50-cent pieces, round and
among us. Wafer ash it is called,
too-wafer on account of the fruits,
ash on account of it's compound big
light green leaves. Those leaves are
always parted into three leaflets,
making strange tropical appear

The true rue we grow hereaboutS,
sometimes in gardens, especially the
quaint fashioned plots of Alex

t.OUTLAWs' CONVERTED TO FISH PROTECTION

ST. Paul, Minn., Sept. l. (P)-Out- law fishermen of the wild north shore of Lake Superior, who have piled their trade since the region was cap- tuured from the Indians a century ago, have surrendered Hereafter they will fish as the law dictates.
 The poachers once believed that Lake Superior contained an inexhaust- ible supply of fish. But the hauls have been lean in late years and fin ally the fishers have determined to join the state in seeking to preserve that which has been their livelihood for years.
 Now they themselves are warning on illicit fishermen. State officials were quick to accept the cooperation for enforcement of laws against poaching always had been difficult in the wild country.
 Until recently the fishers laid their nets during the spawning season, ignoring game laws, and used small CT mesh nets that the law allowed. Operating over a 200 mile stretch of isolated territory, they easily eluded the small staff of wardens and for years did a lucrative business, supply ing catches of choice whitefish, trout and herring to the itinerant schooners that shipped their cargo to eastern markets

AMATEUR RADIO SENDER

CATERHAM, England.-To give
Britons in the Dominions "a little bit

From his homemade transmitting
station at his country house, G. Mar
cuse, a business man, will broadcast
two-hour program three nights a
week which will reach the remote
parts of the empire. He uses short
wave transmission, the wave length
being around 80 meters, and the
power is taken from the ordinary
domestic electric light service.
