C, March 4. As a measure to conciliate the women of British Columbia who seek the franchise, but to whom it will be de nied by the present provincial gov ernment, a bill has been presented to aid in tho bringing to tho prov ince from Great Britain of enough domestic servants to meet what ts todny conceded to be a pressing de mand. Tho plan is a return to tho sys tem in voguo in tho '60s, when the government advanced monoys to be returned in installments, with inter est. It failed then because the men of the province met tho trains and took the -women homo with them as wives, repaying tho loans out of band. It is believed now that tho demnrd for wives is not so pressing and tho young -women imported as servants may remain at their work. So the government will build for tho Salva tion Army at Vancouver a receiving home and will ndvanco $20,000 to bo used in paying the passage of girls peeking employment.

TOO MUCH CANDY IS THE CAUSE OF DEATH PnOENlX. Ariz., March 4. If the diagnosis made by Dr. Bacon of j Tombstone is correct, a case of pel lagra here today was brought on by the consumption of too much candy.

ENTOMOLOGIST URGED BY ELLIS FOR PORTLAND Demands of Trainmen Will Be Con sldered Next Week Every Road -West Of Mississippi to Be Tied Up SAN FRANCISCO. March 4. It -was learned today that tho Oakland and the Sacramento lodges of the Southern Pacific firemen haro voted to strike should the trainmen's de mands at the conference next week at Chicago be refused by the rail road officials. A secret ballot of all the lodges of the Brotherhood of Firemen and En gineers has Just been completed. O. W. Karn, acting as tho coast repre sentative, Is en route to Chicago to day to band the result of the ballot 'lag to Grand Chief W. Carter of the IBrotberbood. The result of tho vote at Oakland and Sacramento, however, does not mean that tho men will strike In real ity, as other lodges might not have arrived at the same decision. The -Southern Pacific employes number 2800 members of the organization, and only a small portion of them belong to tho two lodges which voted to strike. The result of the conference at Chicago will affect 20,000 members of the Brotherhood and Involve all tho railroads west of tho Mississippi river should a strike be called.

Radiant Toaster at the precise moment itisdonc The General Electric Radiant Toaster produces crisp, delicious toast, on the dining room table. It makes toast by radiant heat die correct way. The center of the bread becomes heated before the outside is browned over, thus allowing the necessary chemical changes to take place, without which toast is soggy in the middle and hard on the outside. The General Electric Radiant Toaster lightens breakfast tasks and quickly pays for itself by saving time and bread. Come and sec a demonstration of this electrical convenience.
