NEw RuILDING AT CAPITAL.

MIR. ROOT has presented bin to the Senate
H. i providing for an appropriation of S2,O00,0o0
for a memorial building in the capital to George
Washington in which TO hold some of the functions
of the inaugurations Of presidents and in which
learned bodies and various other organizations
could hold their conventions
It is feared, however, that the House, which is
now pretending to economy, will not regard the
measure favorably, but there is need at Washing
ton for such an edihce. Residents of the capital
think that they should be relieved of the burdens
of taking charge of the inauguration ceremonies,
and of financing the affair with only small help
from the Federal government.
The government should take over the arrange
ments for the inaugural ceremonies and large
building is required for the reception anG other
features There is no public building at the capi-
faI suitable for such ceremonies unless the 1e-
partnent bureau occupying it vacates for week
or longer The Pension Building is used for the
purpose, but the business of the government in
that department must be suspended in the mean
time
Washington is a favorite and appropriate place
foe the gathering of conventions of various kinds
and the new building would make the capital more
popular than ever as a meeting place for such
gatherings.

SAYS PEACH CAN COME

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
MILFORD. Del, Feb. 15.-The
Farmers Institute in Armory Hall,
in charge of Wesley Webb. was very
successful. Mr.. Webb advocated the
establishment of agricultural high
schools. surrounded by gardens and
small experiment orchards, where tho
boys may learn advanced methods Of
farming.
Mrs. F. c. Snyder opened the dis
cussion on poultry, devoting her talk
to young chicks. DO not feed for
forty-eight hours when the hatch is
well over, she advised. Place grit
and fresh water before them for this

the weather is cold. Some morning
substitute for this is a mash made of
different vegetables and green foods
on the farm. In the morning when
ready to feed dry this mash out with
bran, making it just about moist.
About noon throw in the litter any

winter, before the chickens at all
times.
P ofessor c. A. Mccue spoke on
Growing tomatoes for the cannery,"
emphasizing the necessity Of good
preparation for the land stating that
a crimson clover sod is the best land
for tomatoes. A mat of clover turn
ed under in May will add nitrogen to
the value of $40 to S25 per acre, and
when this is thoroughly worked down
a light coat of manure may be ap-
piled. There is nothing else that will
produce tomatoes like good stable
manure; this may be supplemented
by applying acid phosphate or bone
meal and muriate or potash, 200
pounds Of the phosphate and 100
pounds of muriate per acre.
Professor w. M Scott, of the
United States Department Of AgricuI-
ture spoke on the revival of the peach
industry in Delaware. He showed
that experiments and demonstrations
in Michigan and elsewhere have
shown the feasibility OF stamping out
peach yellows and the little peach,
and by the use of arsenate of lead
and the self-boiled lime sulphur solu-

controlled. This has been proved by

Life Insurance COmpani S
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
nies. in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common TO the
American people. and the large ma
jority Of applicants do not oven sus-
pcct that they have the disease.
He states that Judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in
direct touch with the public, there is
one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving and
curing these diseases than any remedy
known. The mild aud healing in
fiuence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record-of cures
We find that Swamp-Roo. is strictly
an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need OF
such a remedy TO give It a trial. It
is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
Of two sizes-fifty cents and one-dol-

However, if you wish first to test its
wonderful merits. send to DR.. Kilmer

GoYERNOR WILSON'S TROUBLES.

VA7HEN Governor Woodrow Wilson wrote his
" history of the United States he probably
mad no idea that he would ever be injected into
me political arena himself Had he believed so
ne would have modified many of the statements
IN tne history, and he could have been charged
with writing for political effect. The history bv
tne governor is being ransacked for everything
that can be twisted into ammunition for the op-
ponents of Mr.. Wilson
The governor is kept busy explaining his state
ments as to the character of the immigration from
the lower countries of Europe. His references to
the Poles and the Hungarians as practically un-
desirable immigrants the governor now explains
by saying that he referring to some of them

been holding meetings in New York city and pro-
testing against statements in the Wilson history.
Another bit Of bad news for the governor is the
action Of the Oklahoma Democrats who at pri-
mary declared for Champ Clark as their choice
for President Oklahoma is the hot bed of radi-
casm and naturally the friends of the governor
expected that he would make better showing
than he did. Champ Clark is in the race for all
he is worth, and he will cut into the radical
strength in the western states.
Governor Wilson has also TO contend against
some formidable opponents in the east. Under.
wood is brought forward to cut the ground from
under Wilson in the south, Gaynor is doomed to-
gether with several others for the purpose of
holding the delegates from the eastern states and
the entire effort Of the opponents of Governor
Wilson is so to divide his forces that he will be
unable to secure the two-thrds necessary to nomI-
nate him at the Baltimore convention.
