HIRING 0F1ELD.
A Window Box Mission.
COLORADO.


Five hundred window boxes, of
proper size to fit the average tene-
ment house window. are being manu-
Ractured In New York this year.
Equipped with the required screws
and wires and filled with plants
sturdy enough to grow even without
much encouragement. these boxes are
to be distributed among the denizens
of the city's crowded tenements.
This charming enterprise is conduct
ed by the Flower Guild. Guild visit
.ors, calling wherever boxes have been
given, explain how flowers should be
tended. Facts related by some OF last
years visitors speak more convincing
ly than mere statistics can of the bar
lrenness of many lives. One woman
who received box was afraid to wa
tier 1t lest the water injure the flow
iers and spoil the box. Other recip-
tents were reluctant to pick of faded.
yellow leaves. How do know,
asked one. that these, being of such
IA color, are not really fiowers? One
poor soul, relates the Youths Com

fearing that If the flowers should die
she might die, too. Reluctantly ac-
icepting one, she was one day filled
with terror to find that neighbors. liv-
ling above had been throwing their
coffee grounds on the plants. But
lbrotherly love. 1t appears. exists even
lin the tenements. Her neighbors
promptly stopped their practice when
they were told that 1t might cause the
iwoman's death. The boxes distrib-

In several cases 1t was the man OF
ithe family who cared for the flowers.
IOne man was inspired to add soap

peas. The flowers were used by, lany

poor woman carried her heavy box
to her child's grave. Prizes are

A farmer says:
1T was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more l suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble,
they were caused by the use of coffee
until l got so bad l had to give up
coffee entirely and almost give up eat

eat only boiled milk and bread and
when l went to the field to work l
had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.
Il doctored with doctors and took
almost everything l could get for my
stomach in the way of medicine. but
if l got any better it only lasted a lit

taken any medicine for my stomach

The platform contains preamble
setting forth the belief of the party
that legalized liquor traffic is the most
fruitful source of poverty, crime and
misery in existence, and that. since the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States denies citizens the in
herent right to sell intoxicating
liquors, it Is logical truth that such
"a privilege cannot be legally granted,
1t is declared that any law so enacted
10 in direct disobedience OF the Su-
preme Court and that no legislature
can legally bargain away the public
or morals by permitting Its sale.
Summarized. the platform OF the
party is as follows:
With reference to prohibition, the
firmest plank in the platform the con
.vention declares its opposition to the
sale of liquor. for any price or under
any conditions. declaring for prohibi-
.tion not only of Its sale of liquor, but
of its manufacture; for the sake OF
homes aud eougtry, prohibitiye legis-
latton is demanded.
The platform asserts the belief that
the present tendency OF the nation To-
ward graft " due 70 the sale Of liquors.
and has been fostered BY the high "
cepse which the liquor trafic has been
forced % pay in order to live, and de-
clares that the graft spirit cannot be

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is Of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health IS at low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.
