HOW TO TREAT PLANTS.
1ben E. Rexford in October Lippen-


colts.
Give plants all the fresh air you
can. Open doors and windows at some
distance from them on pleasant days,
and give them a chance to breathe in
pure oxygen in liberal quantity. Give
all the sunshine you can. And aim to
keep the temperature of the room be-
tween seventy degrees by day and
f1fty-flve at night. It will probably ex-
coed these figures in both directions,
but try to regulate it in such a way
as to avoid the extremes of intense
heat and dangerous cold. i.
Use water literally on the foliage
of your plants. By washing off the
dust it keeps open the: pores of the
leaves through which they breathe, and
it tempers the hot, dry atmosphere
usually prevailing in the living room.
The only way to modify this condi-
tion is to keep water constantly evap-
Grating on stove or register and make
frequent use of the sprayer.,

ist' in Congress.

ton in Nation.

ocrats of the Fifth Wisconsin Congress
sional District, who defeated Congress-
man William H. Stafford, Republican,

jority.

each time has received stronger sup
port
In conventions of Socialists Berger
has always fought the old, radical
element that demanded complete, i'm
mediate overthrow of the competitive
system of government and installation
of the cooperative plan by revolu-
ton of conditions. He has been a
strong advocate of municipal and
=! government ownership Of public util-
tiles, or any movement tending toward
Socialism. and has thus won the name
of ''opportunist.'
! Berger and Stafford were opponents
in the Congressional election tive years
ago, the Republican defeating the So
cialist by a vote Of 1922 to 6,252,
while the Democratic candidate, Henry
Smith, received 1881 votes.
Republican Split Responsible.
The Republican split elected Berger
throwing their votes to Berger to beat
/ Stafford, who was a ''Stalwart' Re-
: publican, and disaffected Democrats
helping.
+: The Fifth District, which Berger will
; represent, includes the North and West
Side of Milwaukee, containing a large

propaganda has been very strong in

two years past.
