start the flowers to blooming again,
providing not too many seeds have
matured. Seeds take vitality from the
plant, and if the seed vessels are re-

bloom only once during the season.

We are preparing the soil for the harvest of other presidential cam paigns."
 So the presidential candidates of the National Prohibition party and the So- cialist party tour state and nation, la boring hard with voice and pen to hold in line their armies of followers and to augment their numbers. They toll as hard as do the standard bearers of the bigger parties, with just as much en- thusiasm and zeal. They carry on their campaigns also with energy derived from experience. for both Eugene ".

Run ming with him for the vice presidency Is Aaron s Watkins. The running mate of Mr Debs this year Is Emil Seidel, former mayor of Milwaukee.
 The name of Eugene Victor Debs has WIG knnXUn America since 1894. when, as president of the American Railway union, he or ganized and led the great Pullman strike of that year. He was charged with violation of a court injunction after President Cleveland, asserting that the passage of the United States mails was impeded by the strike sent federal soldiers into the state of Illi- nois. MT. Debs was sent to jail for six months. Before that time he had been a locomotive fireman, a grocery firm employee in Terre Haute.

 His conflict with the law placed him in a prominent position before the union men of the country and led, in fact, to the controversy over govern ment by injunction" In 1897 MT. Debs became chairman of the national coun- ell of the Social Democracy and in 1900 was the candidate of the Social Demo- cratic party for president Four years later he was named by the Socialist party and was renamed in 1908 and this year.

But men
 Comfort Versus Style.
 "The chief reason why men suffer from the heat in summer time" said one of the buyers of mems clothing for a large department store lis that they are willing to sacrifice comfort for style. But our sales show that men are coming around to a realization of
 the fact that it is to their advantage
 to wear suits of linen. silk and mohair.
 Today we sell five hundred such suits
 to fifty sold five years ago. The great
 CT number that appears on the street
 the more there will be bought by men as they get away from thinking the wearing of silk linen and mohair suits is odd and radical Excellent results
 are also being produced by advertising for the purpose of converting men to see their comfort and coolness"
 ''The wearing of linen and silk suits l instead of wool" said another head 1 buyer. "is not a question of style. but one of common sense and comfort 1 Linen and silk suits are cool and l dressy looking. even though they do not have the shape of the heavier ma l terials of the so called summer suits
 worn by most men. In the past Ameri- | can men have looked too much to shape, but the popularity in the past year or two of the English clothes. with 1 their soft. loungy look. has paved the
 way for suits of such materials as the 1 linens silks and mohairs that are hav- | ing an unprecedented sale this sum- mer. Men need to be led away from | the ordinary summer suits to those of light weight, and advertising combin- 1 ed with buying on the part of more

For instance, the New York subway recently offered to give free rides from downtown to Van Cortlandt park and return.
 But, after all it is not the kiddies of the big cities who suffer most from the heat. Nowadays even the poorest and most ignorant of foreign mothers know something of summer hygiene. thanks to the efforts of public boards of health and private agencies. AL most every city has its fresh air funds to give mothers and babies and little ones past the baby stage their days outings that do so much good. Greater supervision of food supplies has less ened the peril from unripe and decay ed food, and there are public baths to supply the water needed to mitigate the heats effects.
 Terrible Slum Conditions.
 For the older city dwellers compara- lively little has been done. Work goes on in summer as well as in winter, and the sweatshop or the ditch is fear some place for huddled humanity when the mercury mounts to the 90 mark. Country folk who have never gone stunning in summer can form no idea | of the terrible conditions in the poorer city districts especially at night. Then sleep becomes fairly impossible, and 1 the poor man and woman obey literal 1 ly the Biblical injunction. Take up | thy bed and walk" in the endeavor to 1 find coolness. Whole families sleep or
 try to sleep, on chairs in the evil smell

 In at least two respects the poor folks of the slums observe these rules of the board of health. They dress lightly and as cool as possible" and they feat sparlngly."
