The day book., 1914-09-11

with great interest the article con-
tributed by Daniel A. Uretz. We are
not particularly interested in the es-
sence of the subject discussed. What
made profound impression upon us,
however, was the statement that let
teTs reaching The Day Book are not
published.
Of course, we realize that The Day
Book in its present form is far too
small to publish all letters received.
Hence this letter.
You have often expressed yourself
as UnalteTably in favor of an absolute
free press. Now the fact that GER
tain favored letters are published
while others are not is evidence that
The Day Book is not free press.
Now, Mr.. Cochran, here is our
proposition. We are uncOmprOmis-
ingIy in favor of an ABSOLUTE free
press and we are willing to pay for
the privilege of having it. Raise the
price of The Day Book to two cents
and let every reader have his say.
Yours for a free press-William
Greene, Hyman Margolis, Morris
Goodman.
Editors Note.-I too, am for an alb
solutely free press. The Day Book
in it's present form, size and price is
only a starter I'll go as fast as the
people of Chicago will go with me.
| One part of this >adless experiment is
to find out if the people really want a
free press. If one out of ten work
ers in Chicago wanted a free press as
much as the men who signed the
above letter The Day Book would be
paying now as an adless paper with
the price at one cent. It,isn't as free
as 1 want it to be, but is the freest
daily IN town and will grow freer as
it grows in circulation. To be en-
tirely free it must have enough cir
culation to make it pay financially,
and every penny must come from the
| sale of papers ALONE.

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
Men Do II Because They Are More At
tentive Than Women.

A German professor who has been
making a study of the problem de-
clares that men fall asleep in church
because they pay more attention TO the
sermon than do the women. Further.
he declares the average woman does
not begin TO grasp the purport Of the
sermon; that she is far slower Of I'M
derstanding than man.
The man will watch the minister
every minute, he will concentrate all
his mind upon the preacher and what
he is saying. he viii watch his every
gesture and every motion of his lips
and listen TO every word until finally
he drops or to sleep simply because he
has watched so steadily. gazed so in
tently. that he hynotized himself.
IL the woman does not grasp the
meaning of the sermon so readily. II
her mentality is not quite so keen and
quick. one would think she would fall
asleep. But the fact remains that she
has plenty to interest her A man can
not look about the church and be inter
ested in John Jones cravat or William
Smiths vest or Sam Whites cuff but
tons. He doesn't care anything about
them, but a woman will sit quietly In
church. she will hear what the minis
ter is saying without giving much
thought to it, but she will be interested
in everything every other woman is
wearing. and there is enough TO keep
her just moderately entertained and
wide awake.-Chicago Tribune.

THE ROSE APHIs
Recipe for Spray Solution Which
VIII ENterminste This Pest

Recipe for Spray Solution Which
VIII EKterminste This Pest
Rose lovers whose flowers are
blighted by the ravages OF the rose
aphis have only themselves TO blame
according to a bulletin just issued
by the department Of agriculture.
Careful spraying of the plants with
solutions of nicotine will remove all
danger and neither the expense nor
the trouble involved is sufficiently
great to be a real obstacle.
The rose aphis is a small insect
with a body about one-twelfth OF an
inch long. The young and some
adults develop wings from time TO
time. The color varies from green
to pink. BY means Of its slender
beak the aphis sucks out the juices
Of the plant on whose buds aud UNI
folded leaves IL feeds. These, pre-
vented from attaining their perfect
form. become curled and distorted
and the beauty of the flowers is in
large measure ruined. Moreover. the
aphis secretes sweet sticky liquid
called "honeydew,' which spoils the
appearance of the foliage on which it
is deposited.
Application OF insecticides should
be made on the first appearance OF
the pest. which varies from time that
the leaves are put forth until the
buds begin to form. Applications
should be repeated as found neces-
sary.
The best insecticide is a 40 per
cent solution of nicotine. A conven-
lent recipe when there are only a
few bushes to be treated calls for a
teaspoonful of the nicotine solution
to two gallons of water and one-half
ounce of whale oil soap. shaved fine
and dissolved in hot water This can
be applied when large number of
bushes are to be treated by means of
compressed air sprayer or bucket
pump. Where only a small number
of bushes need treating. the infested
twigs can be dipped in pail of the
solution. The larger recipe recon-
mended by the bulletin calls for one
part of 40 per cent solution to from
1000 to 2O0O parts of water. with the
addition of one pound of whale oil
soap to every 80 gallons of the mix.

and their employees, which have
been on since early in the year. we're
