The plants should be transplanted to
loamy soil during the rainy season of
winter or spring.
In regard to manufacturing the
powder, the flower heads should be
gathered during fine weather, when
they are about to open, or at the time
when fertilization takes place. The
stalks may be cut to within four
inches of the ground, and, ground
fine, mixed with the buds to the pro-
portion Of one-third.
The flowers must not be exposed to
moisture or artificial heat. They
should be dried under cover. The
flowers may be pulverized by the
method of pounding them in mortar,
and the finer they are pulverized the
better the insecticide will be.
Insects subjected to this powder
show symptoms of intense pain.
Hence its use against the mosquito
pest might be made very gratifying,
as the victim of the insect, using the
powder, could sit at his ease and
watch the dying antics Of his enemy.
The powder may be moulded into
candles and burned, or sprayed
through the air, or applied diluted in
water. It operates much more quick
ly in a closed room than in the open
air.
In a room infested with mosquitoes,
for example, a spray of powder would
quickly cause the insects to fall to the
floor stupefed, but In some cases they
would not die for two or three days.

Cocaine's Awful Grin,

A woman's soul. killed by cocaine,

Chicago, Ill.,, when Mrs. Kuhn, highly
educated, told the story of her dealings
with Jim Hing.
Il went to Jim Kings laundry and
asked him for cocaine" said the wo-

night indulgence. / would have sold
my soul for the drug, but had no
money and the Chinaman had no pity.

dying for the drug.
MY baby was playing about the
floor. 1 saw the glitter Of gold lock-
ct and chain about her neck. 1 snatch
ed it from the paby's throat and ran
back to the Chinaman. I pressed 1t
into his hands. He gave me cocaine,
and in the exultation that came with
the drug 1 lost all sense Of shame for
the crime against motherhood L had
committed"
The Chinaman was fined $500.

member demanding the introduction
Of manhood suffrage In the elections
of the lower house OF the Prussian
Landtag- Last night no fewer than
thirty-five Social mass meetings were
held in Berlin, as web as many 9TH

assumed q somewhat threatening as

called to the scene. They surround

their ranks to act as final voters: a
more extended number of less wealthy
persons, who pay the next third of

an equal number OF final electors,
while the third class of voters, com.
posed of the remainder OF the popula-
ton and including the workmen,
whose numbers reach to the millions,
are allowed TO select number of final
voters equal to that chosen by each
of the other two classes. The total
number of final electors selected by
this process then proceed to cast the
final vote. at which the representa-
tives of the two first named classes
always vote solidly together, thus
shutting out any possibility of the
election of a representative of the
working class
Prince Won Buelow, the imperial
chancellor, has made known his in

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 10.-ln the Com
moner today Mr.. Bryan sharply re-
plies to the intimation that he is try
ing to force himself upon the Demo-
cratic party as a presidential candi-
date.
1T is an insult to the intelligence
of the party TO say that any man or
coterie of men could for selfish or
clique reasons dictate the course of
the party in 1908.
Certainly Democrats learned some
thing in the experiences of 1904 when
the special interests had their way so
far as concerns convention results.
Democrats know too that at this
time when the American people are
demanding relief from trust imposi-
ton the candidate and platform must
be representative of the interests of
the Masses
Mr.. Bryan has not sought to in
fiuence the choice other than TO the
extent OF saying that the important
duty shall not be reIegated TO individ-
uals with power to act, to the detrf-
ment of the party and the public and
to the advantage of the elements from
whose expressions the American peo-
pie are at this very moment turn

Taft Faces a New York
Audience For the First Time
Since Making Announcement

Secretary Taft set forth his stand on
the pertinent questions relative to in
terests and rights of labor and capital.
and in turn was submitted 10 a rapid
fire attack from the audience which
quiZzed him keenly and in somewhat
controversial spirit, according TO the
practice of the attendants at the
Peoples Institute. but the secretary
proved equally effective in both attack
and defense.
In his prepared address Taft point
ed out the dependence one upon an
other of capital and labor. He declared
that great aggregations of wealth prop
erly employed widened the field of la
Dor and were to be welcomed, while
wealth improperly used was to be con-
demned. The secretary advocated
unionism insofar as resultant cooper
alton made for common good.
