To provide plant food, stir small
quantities of bone meal and wood
ashes into the surface or in place Of
ordinary watering occasionally use
manure water or ammonia water "a
teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of
water). Trim off the brown tips, as
they will eve recover.
If the leaves turn yellow, look for
scale on the under side and be sure
you are not overwhelming. Wash the
scale off or spray with kerosene
emulsion or whale-oil soap, OF some
nicotine preparation.
Do not repeat too often. II a
palm grows three new leaves a year

Rubber Plants.
Rubber plants are especially sat

good light without direct sunlight.
Water often enough to keep the soil
moist, but do not under any circum-
stances permit water to stand about
the roots nor allow it to become
"bone dry" A potted plant set In
a j~ardiniere needs especial care not
to %oyerwater.
Wash the foliage frequently with
soap suds made from good soap.
Rinse thoroughly at once.

come full of roots. Feed once in

or manure water as described for the
PLAN or some prepared plant food.
Oleanders may be treated more or
less as are palms.
Aspidistras are most ornamental.
They should be kept rather drier
than palms and rubber plants.
Cacti require rather dry, sandy
soil.

addition to a bay window or con-

palms, rubber plants, %oleanders. as

proper attention and not permitted
to be exposed to frost, according to
the Department of Agriculture's
horticulturists.
Palms.
Palms are much used for interior
decorations where there is no direct
sunlight. Regular watering Is es-
sential, with especial care not to over
water. 1t is better with most plans
to keep them a little dry than too
wet. Where q pot Is in a jardiniere
especial care must be exercised not
to have them too wet.
While small, wash the foliage oc-

Some Alcoholic Mathematics

On January 20 the Massachusetts, Commission to
Investigate Drunkenness made its preliminary report
1t is not yet printed but it has been made available
the newspapers 1t figures out the evils that have been
nourished under the liquor license system Of that state
After giving statistics of for drunkenness that
are appalling, the report says:
Four out of every five imprisoned were between
and years age and therefore the very period in life
when the industrial output should be largest These men,
the prime of life lost working days from mp
alone last and probably equal of time
was lost in hunting for work after release from prison.
That is what licensed drink cost the workngmen OF
Massachusetts, alone in single year. 100000 days work.
to say nothing of the money they paid out to the
loonkeepers for the drink that made them drunk and
got them into prison.
1t is not likely that the average value of days
work to the Massachusetts, laborng is less than
dollars. That that licensed drink the
laborng of the single state of Massachusetts the
appalling sum Of ST 100000 besides what he actually
spent for the liquor and besides what the other labor
ing spent who did not get into prison
These are not the calculations of the Anti-Saloon
League but of the Commission to Investigate Drunk
enness appointed by the Massachusetts, Legislature.
Temperance speakers have charged UP some pretty
hard things the account of the licensed saloon but
seldom have they said anything than this, and

official study into conditions that prevail in Massachu
