the action of Gov. Bliss of Michi

who last week renounced their

did not need the money. Gov.
Bliss receives a salary of $4,000 a
year from the state, and the widow
has just come into an inheritance,
which circumstances led the two
to inform tho pension com nission-
er that they could get along com
fortably without government aid.
But arc not these precedents dan

those who need pensions ought to

The Cabbage Question.
Editor Eagle: Not for one
moment have I attached any im
portance whatever to tho “eel
worm” recently found in cabbage.
But there is one phase of this ques
tion well worth our attention. It
is this: Some people occasionally
sprinkle Paris Green upon their
cabbage for the purpose of killing
tho worms and other insects that
prey upon the plant. For this
purpose it is very effective. But
Paris Green, as is generally
known, is a deadly poison. A
very small quantity of it will cause
alarming symptons. When sprink
ling on cabbage it is supposed that
subsequent rains will wash it all
away. This is a very dangerous
practice. Paris Green should nev
er, under any circumstances, be
used for this purpose on cabbage.
Now, if it be true, that anybody
at all has been poisoned by eating
cabbage, I suspect that Paris Green
did it. L. C. Allen.
