Attleboro, let it be said, is a pros-

of a secondary school?
Well, here's a suggestive answer,
following a survey made by the ad-
ministration of a famous university:
never before in the history of this
university, the survey indicates, have
inquiries from big business and in-
dustrial concerns beenas numerous
as they are today. There is a rising
demand for men who have specialized
training in accounting, statistics,
business administration and trans-
portation.
Sawdust used to be a nuisance in
this country; sawmill owners did not
know what to do with it. .Trying to
burn it was not very satisfactory.
Dumping it. in rivers did harm. Now,
however, sawdust has value - per-
haps a variety of values. Sawdust
is being made into plastics, by com-
bining chlorine, gas obtained from
table salt, and sawdust. Chlorinated
sawdust, when molded, forms hard,
glasslike synthetic• plastics of many
uses, including electrical insulation.

of getting a job? That is to say,

Gathering moss can be the same

is used for? For making puddings!
Moss -gathering has become a vaca-
tion employment for students. One
group of students acquired rights to
gather the moss growing on a certain
island on the New England coast.
They raked the moss 'front the rocks,
and then dried it in the sun. The
dried moss is then washed in a tub,
and then dried again. Then it is
packed into bales and shipped to a

EIGHTY-THREE CASES
OF "TUMMY -ACHE"
FROM RAW MILK
The New York Tithes of August
10th, reports that raw milk supplied
to customers in Roscoe, Sullivan
County, New York, has caused many
cases of gastro-enteritis, according to
the State Department of Health.
"The department said to -day," the
dispatch reads, "that 83 persons had
been affected, with 12 of them con-
fined to the hospital. None, how-
ever, is believed to be in a serious
condition."
"Dr. Frederick W. Graves of the
department, reported to Dr. James
E. Perkins of the communicable dis-
ease division, that the trouble had
undoubtedly been caused by raw
milk. The supply has been stopped
and pasteurized mills substituted,"
Incidently, a break occerred in the
water system of Roscoe about the
time of the illnesses but a check-up
showed that those affected with
enteritis had not used the water sup-
plied through the municipal system.
Ps
Gastro-enteritisi, which is en in-,
flantmation of the stomach and
bowels is a common result of the
use of raw milk. The immediate
cause is an infection of the nature
of that causing food poisoning. It
is painful and induces diartboea,
cramps and, in some cases, vomiting.
Often it is quite serious, espeelally
in young children,
Lt the days when the use of raw
milk was the general rule, this af-
fection killed many children in the
hot days of summer, It was fre-
quently called "sunnner-complaint."
Pasteurization of milk is a preven-
tive of this troublesome complaint.
In cities, where pasteurization is the
rule, gastro-enteritis has disappear-
ed:
Ignorant persons, reckless of the
health and lives of children, continue
to fight against pasteurization. They
speak and write with a vehemence
demanding a better cause, against
pasteuriiation. The more ignorant
they are the stronger and more reck-
less their claims. It is en example
of the old saying: "where ignorance
is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."

sibly be substantially less bloom in
gardens in home grounds and parks
throughout Canada than has been
seen in recent years. The reason is
that this fall no tulip or otltet' flow-
ering bulbs will be available front
Holland. Formerly more than 98 pet
cent of all tulips came from that
country and 25 million of a total of
32 million of all kinds of other bulbs
also came from the Netherlands. Of
1 the remaining seven million about
three came from France, Belgium, the
Channel Islands and Germany, 214
million from the United States end
over half a million from the British
]Isles. The remaining 114 million,
mostly Easter lilies, came from Japan
and other countries. While there ie'a
possibility of some imports to Can-
ada from the United States and the
British Isles, it is not expected they
will be as much as in former years.
Imports from France, Belgium and
the Channel Islands, while these
countries are under German occupa-
tion, are also net possible. Japan,
however, will be able to send its us-
ual shipments.
For several years the culture of
flowering bulbs has been a growing
industry in British Columbia, but it
has as yet only reached the point
where but a fraction of the demand
from all parts .of Canada can be met.
Up to the present the British Colum-
bia growers have not been able to
compete successfully with the ]low
cost of Dutch bulbs,
Tt is expected that seedsmen will
have available for sale this fall not
more than ten per cent of their us-
ual supply of bulbs and the size is
not likely to be equal to that which
they were formerly able 'to offer.
The answer to the problem for
those who want bloom out-of-door: in
the spring, says the Dominion Horti-
culturist, Experimental Farms Ser-
vice, Domion Department of Agricul-
ture, lies partly in the substitution
of spring blooming perennials, such
as bearded iris and the earlier vat'-
ieties or peonies and by the conser-
vation of old bulbs. Now is the time
to plant iris and peonies. Bulbs for
indoor forcing, with the exception of
daffodils, to a limited extent, will not
be available until the countries, which
for many years have been the princi-
pal source of supply, are free again,
or until the industry in British Col-
umbia has developed to a point. where
the Canadian demand can be met.
