Plants in Living Room.

In the living room the air is gen.

at such high temperature that mois-

not do well In a dry air. Those who
.ove plants and desire to grow them
will therefore try to counteract the
evil effect of dry air by taking steps
TO impart a necessary degree of mois-
ture to It. They will shower their

of so-caed 'fonetie REFORM" They are not They
never have advocated any kind of phonetic reform and
they do not intend ever to advocate it. They believe
that the two peoples that speak English far too
conservative ever TO consider any scheme of radical and
violent change in orthography. The phonetic REFORM
