FLOWERS coNsUMPTIoN's FOE
Physician Advocates Growing Plants
in Sick Rooms.

Physician Advocates Growing Plants
in Sick Rooms.
Flowers were advocated as q cure
for consumption by DR.. Frances Bart
lett in a paper which she read before
the Botanical Society of Pennsylvania
at the University of Pennsylvania.
"Why send consumptiyes and suffer
ers to Colorado to benefit by the eli
mate when we can bring that climate
into their homes by the simple expedi-
ent Of having growing plants in their
rooms?" was the gist of DR.. Bartlett's
remarks. Her paper was on 'Flowers
in the Sick ROOM" and in part she
said:
Growing plants, and especially
odoriferous Towering plants, are Of the
greatest value in the treatment Of the
sick.
''As long as the plants are kept moist
they will diffuse moisture, and they un-
doubtedly have the power to produce
ozone. Some plants will vaporize the
atmosphere to the amount of three
timos their own weight in a day. In
this way the atmosphere of sick room
can be made of the greatest benefit.
Tine only dangerous plants to place
III the sick room are those which give
Off unpleasant odors. Care should be
taken, however. not to keep cut flowers
i'll the rooms at night. They throw off
carbon dioxide, but during the day lime
the amount of oxygen they prodIce
neutraliZes the harmful effects.
''The chief cause of colds is found in
the habit Of going from heated build
ings into the cold street. If people
could only be prevailed upon to main
tain an eQuable temperature and hui
midity by having plants growing in
their homes and places of business the
danger of taking cold would be prac-
tically eliminated
In a paper ON 1.-The Flowers Best
Friend" DR.. @. C. Schmucker paid
strong tribute to the humble bee.
Upon this abused insects distribu-
ton of the seed we are almost abso-
lutely dependent for our crops of
clover" he said. You must have no.
ticed that the first crop is always much
smaller than the second. That is be-
cause early in the year the bees ara
abroad in much smaller number than
later."-Philadelph Press.

VERMONT WOMAN TO HANG
Legislature of the State Refuses Mercy
to Mrs. Mary Rogers.

No one can see Mrs. Mary Rogers. the
Vermont woman, condemned to death by
hanging Feb. ;. She is in her solitary
cell in the State prison at Windsor and
has been since Nov. 1. Mrs. Rogers has
not suffered mentally to such degree that
it has undermined her health or aged her
looks. On the contrary, from the freely
expressed opinions of the members of the
Legislative Committee which journeyed
from Montpelier to Windsor to make the
biennial inspection of the institution, she
is doing little worrying.
The members saw her on their rounds
of the prison, and the remark made by
one of them later ON that she Cooked
fine" was cOncurred in by the others.
Other information trickling out from the
guards who have had charge of her de-
notes that her mental attitude toward
the terrible nature of her crime or her
present situation is of Il light-mnded na-
ture.
She expects that the Governor will
order stay of proceedings. which will
throw the onus of her execution upon
another Legislature. two years hence,
when her chances are again good for hay
luS Htl StutcuCc " llle
prisonment
She does not fret under the prison dis
cipline, and indeed. now she is in soli-
tary confinement, the hours of rising and
compulsory work are not as rigid as
when she formed in line and went forth
to daily labor about tile institution. The
matron gives her such occupation as can
be taken up in her cell, and sees to her
meals and other requirements. She can
see any of the town clergymen she
chooses, but up to now Chaplain Fuller
of the prison has been her spiritual
adviser.
The gallows to be used is the same
used twenty-five years ago. when the
last murderer to be hanged in the State
was dealt with. The machine was then
taken to pieces and put away. 1t is not
because there has been no murder done
in Vermont for twenty-five years that
it has not been used. Murders have been
rather frequent, but the power of the
Legislature to commute sentence or to
approve of sending to the asylum for the
insane has been worked to the utmost.
and there are at present three murdererS
under cOmmuted sentence in the State
prison and couple in the hospital for
the insane

son of navigation just closed. This huge
tonnage Of the red metal came from the
mines in the upper peninsula and went

As large as these figures seem they are
exceeded in valuation by the iron ship
ments and also by those of wheat. The
iron ore shipments amounted to 1850
i9I net tons and the wheat and other
grains to 1925. .S69 bushels. In addition
to the whole grain shipments there were
4.I10,1SS barrels of flour. Lumber,

to $3.50, general merchandise 9o,3'4
net tons and $50 net tons of silver ore

Fumes Frighten People of Column
bus, o., and Explosion Threatens.
Almost half the people of Columbus,
Ohio. were afraid TO so to bed lest they
might be asphyxiated. For several days
strong odors of gas have been noticed
in the central part of the city. The
fumes filed all the homes in the terri
tory bounded by the Union depot on the
north. Grant avenue on the east. the
court house on the south, and the Scioto
river on the west. The city engineers
department has traced the origin of the
gas TO the sewers. but it is believed
natural gas main has sprung leak and
is pouring volume of gas into the sew
er system of the city. Fire Chief
Lauer is much exercised for fear that
the gas in the sewers may become iSnit-
ed in some way and cause an explosion
and fire that will raze Il big section of
the city. Warnings have been issued
against smokers dropping lighted matches
near sewer catch basins

TO AWAKEN WIN YOU WISH.
Simple Plan Which Requires No Alarn,
Clock to Be Set.

Simple Plan Which Requires No Alarn,
Clock to Be Set.
We hear it frequently asserted that
if persons will impress the thought
firmly upon their minds and continue
thinking about it until they have fallen
asleep that they desire to awake at a
certain hour in the morning. they will
do it without fail, says writer in the
st. Louis GlObe-Democrat. But how
many people have tried this method Of
insuring a prompt awakening at a
given hour in the morning only to find
their rest throughout the night dis
turbed and uneasy?
The brain will usually respond to
the will and awaken one in the morn
ing near the desired hour under any
circumstances, but to prevent the un-
broken, uneasy sleep the adoption of
only a very simple device is necessary.
The last thing before getting into bed,
take a watch or clock and turn the
hands to the hour at which one wishes
to rise and gaze at this just long
enough to fix the hour firmly on the
retentive memory. Then, if no other
absorbing thoughts intervene between
that and the moment one is locked in
slumber, the nights rest will be easy
and unbroken and promptly at the
hour in the morning, as rule, one
will find ones self released from sleep
and wide awake.
There is no need to keep thinking Of
the hour continually for number of
minutes, no need to repeat it over and
over in the mind; all that makes. the
brain uneasy and results in the dis
turbed slumber@S Simply look at the
watch or clock, as 1 have indicated,
and the influence of~tks mind over
matter will be clearly demonstrated in
the morning. Try it some night and
observe how smoothly this phsycho-
logical fact works.

TERRITORIES FIGHT BILL.
New Mexico and Arizona Object to
Losing Identities

NEW Mexico and Arizona OBJECT 10
Losing Identities.
Neither of the two territories favors
the joint statehood bill now pending In
Congress, according to Gov. NJ. A. Otero
of New Mexico ard ex-Gov. Franklin
Murphy of Arizona, who met in Chicago
the other night. Gov. Otero has been i'll
Washington fighting the measure and Mr..
Murphy was on his way to the capital
to work against its passage. They say
the people of New Mexico and Arizona
are opposed to the bill because it would
rob the territories of their identity. Both
territories are ambitious to become
States, but they desire to be individual
commonwealths and object to any mer-
ger. If Congress passes the joint state
hood bill, as now seems probable, Gov.
Otero says the people will reject the con-
stitution offered them at a special cleo
ton to be called for its adoption.
