WARSAW, Oct. 15.-The general

workers in all the industries of the
district walked out and joined the
strike of the 100000 textile workers.
All factories were idle and even
bakeries, slaughter houses, stores,a and
shops were closed down. The whole
district was rendered helpless, COM
munications were cut, the food sup

a partial strike in the hospitals.

BOX FUMIGATION WILL

ed, and summed"
Mr.. Strand says it will pay every
householder to have not only several
of these paper bags which can be pur-
chased at small cost, but also a large,
tightly constructed box with a close
fitting lid in which the bags can be
hung after having been filled with
clothing. The box could also be used
as compartment for fumigating any
thing suspected of harboring insects
before the bags are placed in it.
Bedding and a great variety of
clothing not used during the summer
can be put into trunks or alright
boxes and fumigated and kept there
the remainder of the season. Even
fair sized rugs can be fumigated in a
large trunk. Liquid fumigants would
be best to use in this case, since they
will kill in few hours and the rugs
can then be removed and aired.
Several fumigants are recommend
ed by Mr.. Strand in the general at
tack on moths and carpet beetles. In
the list appear dichlorocide, naphta-
lene flakes, carbon tetrachloride,
ethylene dichloride, and carbon bisul-
phide. The last named is explosive
and dangerous, but makes a good
fumigant in the hands of a careful
person.

years old In 1885 he was ordained

came a doctor of Philosophy at Yale
University which appointed him in
structor of Philosophy. Retiring from

Wants Immigrants.
Advices from Copenhagen and Win
nipeg are to the effect that an emerge
tic campaign will be launched for the
purpose of directing additional Danish
immigration toward Canada. Special
agents of the Canadian government
are now in Denmark, and indications
are that the results of their efforts
will be crowned with some measure
of success because of the unemploy-
ment crisis which still-although in
less degree than few months ago
prevails throughout Danish Industry.
Two Danish newspapers have recently
been started in Canada, and various
efforts are being made to gather the
Danish-Canadians in organizations,
national and local.

EXPERTS WILL STUDY
FIRE LOSS ON FARMS

Fires on farms in this country take
an approximate toll yearly of $50
millions of dollars, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This, too, without taking into account
possible waste of foodstuffs or of lab
or. Staffmen of the department are
hopeful of cutting down this enormous
fire bill.
The spontaneous ignition of hay,
grains, feeds and other products is
one of the most important causes of
fires on farms, and it is this phase
of the problem to which the bureau of
chemistry and soils at Washington
will first address itself. Cooperating
with it in a study of ways and means
to prevent the huge losses from spon-
taneous combustion are various insur-
