Uncle Sans Ways

However popular it may be to
criticise the workings Of government
al departments, everyone must ad'
nit that there are certain branches OF
Uncle SANS machinery which are al
waya we'll oiled and which roll on
with astonishing ceierity and smooth
ness. The latest evidence Of this is
the case Of the Greek leper, who,
after endangering entire communities
by his wapderings, fell into the hands
Of Uncle Sam and is now on his way
to Europe.
Looking back at the instances Of
neglect in the matter Of lepers, which
come about through carelessness OF
imperlectly oiled machinery in the
past, We cannot but admire the
methods OF Uncle Sam in this case.
Instead OF placing the man in de-
tention house or isolation ward, the
United States immigration Bureau
hired special ambulances, special
agents and all other things necessary
to absolute safety, and whipped the
leper across the country and to a
steamer, without the slight est ripple
or publicity. After it was all over
the matter was made public and
everyone is relieved.
Reporters were not invited to the
departure Of the leper. He was nc'
subjected to the glass cage treatment
and made the subject Of popular dis
cussion as though the principle at
traction at a menagerie. He was sim
ply shipped. And how much bette
. the method proves than those We hav'
been hearing oil in the past Tn
ways OF Uncle Sam offer many sug
ges,ions TO municipalities thfoughou
the country. Quiet and properl
managed methods in matters Of tn

TO Register Breeding Animals Free
from Disease

The spread Of tuberculosis BY the
sale Of puTe-bred cattle for breeding
purposes has led the Department Of
Agriculture to propose a plan for en-
iouraging the breeding Of registered
animals free from disease. II is un'
fortunate that tuberculosis exists in
many fine purebred herds, It often
happens that man who wishes TO i'm
prove the breeding Of his herd will buy
an animal from one Of these diseased
herds and unwittingly introduce tuber'
culosis into his own herd. The de-
partment is undertaking TO establish
records Of purebred herds that are Tree
Of tuberculosis, so that people who
wish 10 buy fine stock will know where
they can be assured OF getting healthy
animals,
After applying the tuberculin test,
which will be done free Of charge, an
official public record will be kept show
ing all herds which can be certified as
free from tuberculosis, and it Is pro-
posed to publish the names and ad
dresses OF the breeders whose herds
are on this record, The plan is purely
voluntary. Herds will be tested only
when the owners desire / and agree TO
the conditions, Publicity may also be
given 10 these herds at sxposilions and
fairs by placards upon the pens, and it
is expected that separate exhibition
classes will be established for such
cattle.
Owners Of tested herds will be ex'
pected to slaughter animals that are
affected seriously, as such are apt TO
be dangerous disseminators OF tuber'
culous injection. Some states provide
for reimbursement for animals slaugh-
tered under such circumstances. Ar
rangements may be made for retain
ing animals showing no clinical evil
dence OF tuberculos in quarantine for
breeding purposes when it is desired
20 preserve and perpetuate certain
strains.

The Indoor Window Box

The indoor window box, properly
attended, will afford much pleasure
and satisfaction to the housewife who
misses her out-of-door garden during
the winter months. 1t is a mistaken
notion that plants when kept in living
rooms use up certain elements ol rhe
air In such quantities as to make 1t
unhealthiiul for individuals using the
room. It is much harder on plants to
be in a room with people than Tor
people 10 be in a room with growing
plants. Plants. indeed, use air, but
use such a small proportion that the
effect Of the plant in the room is
negligible il the room is ventilated at
all. This also holds good Tor cut
flowers on plants in sick room, al
though the odor OF some flowers may
be depressing to the patient, and bad
for that reason.
A good depth for wiudow boz is
about II inches. The bottom OF the
boz should be covered with stones and
broken pottery to give drainage and
this should be covered BY layer oil
moss to prevent the soil above from
working down through the stones.
The drainage and moss should take
up about 8 inches The greater the
body OF soil above the moss the more

The soil should come to within ar

wise shipping from toll payments
was under discussion in Congress,
Col. Goethals' testimony before
House committee was so filed with
gloomy ioreboding that many Ameri'
cans must have been led to fear that
we had made a very bad investment
at the isthmus.
Col. Goeihals, at that time, could
see SO small tonnage seeking use Of
the canal for many years TO come
that the laying Of tolls on all com
merce using the canal, whether ma
tional or International, was an absolute
financial necessity. He was certain
we would be unable TO meet all the
fixed charges and disbursements,
without collecting as much toll OF
American coas,ing vessels as Of any
other. At the time the testimony
was given the European war wss un'

Pu2zliRg the lJnMilitarY

People who are not military experts
are more or less puzzled By the pres
ent war. Judged by reports and from
this distance, great battles have been
fought, but they seem to be different
from great battles in other wars. So
macy Of them seem TO be draws, The
struggle has been going on for approx
mateIv five months now and not one
single, solitary crushing defeat has
been administered or overwhelming
victory achieved. Several have been
annouced, be it said, but ultimately it
has always developed that while they
were victories or defeats, they were
not overwhelming or crushing.
When the Germans first descended
on Paris one particularly emphatic war
"epxert" on a New York paper fore
saw tremendous success for the
| Teutons within a week or two. When
the kaiser's forces were driven back
toward the frontier, giving the allies
time TO collect their armies and make
a real fight, this expert predicted an
! immediate Waterloo for the Germans.
Shortly after he prophesied it would
take place on the Russian frontier.
Later he has seee it coming at various
points in the war zone. But it has
never come,
Il is not surprising that people who
are not military experts are beginning
10 doubt whether there will be any
Marathons or Gettysburgs in this war.
There will be Just as bloody conflicts
do doubt. So many more men are
engaged than in any previous war in
The worlds history that the casualt!e!
ar. bound to be innumerably greater
But on account OF this very numerical
greatness one might almost believe
that there will be no really crushing
defeats. There are so many men or
both sides that there will always be re
serve forces to stay rout. The de
pendence upou big guns instead o
cavalry and the real requirements foI
the execution of sharp military tactics
where large numbers are employed
slows up the struggle.

,hinned, and more decisive battles

rule it is better to water lightly and
frequently than heavily and iuirequen'
,ly. The specialist OF the department
advises this, although Just the reverse
Is considered best when watering Is
done out Of doors In the summer.
A large proportion ol the plants in a
window boz should be OF the same
general character il the growth is to
be successful. Plants Of different
character need different treatment.
It Is very difficult to raise flower
ing plants in a window box with
the exception Of begoniAs. Ordinary
towering plants are very exacting, and
will not find enough light in the ordi'
nary living room, even though placed
near the window. although they may
do we'll in conservatory. The
main object OF an indoor window box
is TO furnish the fresh appearance Of
growing green leaves rather than 70
raise flowers indoors.
The departments SPECIALIST makes
the following suggestions for win
dow box.
Begonias are one Of the most at
tractive plants that may be used for an
indoor box. Both Towering and non
towering varieties will give satisfaction;
in fact the towering vaIietV is one Of
the few plants that will blossom indoors
without special cultivation. The
begonia Is not very particular in its
requirements and will flourish with
ordinary care.
Small ferns obtained from fcrist
will flourish, These me particularly
adapted to house culture, as they do
not require direct sunlight. (Care Of
ferns will be described in greater
detail in subsequent artic!e,)
Even more hardy than ferns is the
foliage plant known as the aspidistra.
This adaptable plant growth will stand
measure OF neglect, droutb, and
Gust and still thrive. Il does not
require direct sunlight
Geraniums may also be used as
foliage plants, though they must not
be expected to blossom in the win
dow box.
Kenilwo.h ivy may be planted
along the edge. 1t will grow nicely
from seed.
Smilax may be grown from the
back Of the box and trained up about
the window to give the effect OF an
attractive bower,
The inexperienced grower Of plants
indoors can not expect TO do vel
with roses. These plants are most
exacting, and not only will they prob
ably fail to flower, but also their loli.
age may be affected by mildew, blight,
etc.
The ordinary individual who de.
sires other varieties OF growing flower:
may supplement his window box with
towering potted plants brought in
from outside, including bulbs raised as
described in a previous article Of thi!
series. These will probably keeT
their bloom for a brief period only
People who are fond Of plants will o
course, obtain better results viii
blooming varieties after many trials
Some have dealt with very difficuI
problems, which they have SOLVED
successfully, but the present suggest
ions are meant for the novice as vel
as the more experienced grower.
