People should remember that pot
of water on stove that burns coal or
gas is a necessary article. This is al
ways useful in close rooms with carpets
on the floor. The skin and lungs al
ways need moist air People have
noticed that plants do not flourish in a
room where coal is burned, because a
slight, poisonous gas, or vapor is con-
tinually escaping. This is not noticed
by persons, but plants quickly detect it
and do not thrive.
"A floral exhibition on large scale Is
being organized by the Detroit Journal

Each of the charities has appointed a
representative to cooperate, and all
the florists have signed an agreement
to cooperate. 1t promises TO be an
affair of great interest, and for most
worthy object. The entire proceeds is
to go to charity.
