beds and transplanting the plants once
before placing them in the open. For
localities north Of New York the most
satisfactory method of handling these
plants will be to start the seeds in
window boxes about April l, and to
transfer the young plants to the open
when the weather permits-about the
middle of May. The seeds are very
small and should be sown on the sur
face and brought in contact with the
earth by firming it with a board.
California poppy (Eschscholtzia).-
The eschscholtzia Is an annual Of
striking character both as regards the
form and color of its flowers, which
are bright and rich in their tints Of
yellow and orange. The plants aver
age about foot lin height, have at
tractive silvery foliage, and produce
their large poppy like flowers quite
lavishly from early spring until frost.
The seeds Of eschscholtzia mag be sown
in window box or in a hotbed In
March, or in the open where the plants
are to bloom as soon as the soil is in
At condition, IN April or May in the
latitude of New York. IN ATTITUDES
south OF New York the seeds may be
sown in the. autumn for early bloom.
The plants enjoy. rich loam and
should be allowed about or s inches
of space in the row. When used in
beds they may be sowr broadcast.
Zinnia.-The zinnia is easily grown
from seed sown in the open ground.
When sown in April the plants will
bloom abundantly and continuously
thru the entire season. During the
month of August zinnias are at their
best. To secure large flowers and a
profusion Of bloom the plants must be
given ample room for full development,
as well as an abundant supply Of food.
Strong, rich soils suit the zinnia. If
the seeds are sown in dwelling house
orIin a hotbed in March and the young
plants are pricked out once or twice
before being placed in their perma-
nent situations, more satisfactory re-
suits will be secured than from out
door-sown seeds unless equal care in
thinning or ttransplanting is given. in

Washington, March 23.-Whether to
put prohibition in the 1a16 platform
is the question which is looming up
to the embarrassment Of the demo-
cratic and republican parties. not to
mention the bull moose. No doubt
longer exists that strong efforts will be
made to get prohibition put into the
different platforms. The anti-saloon
leagne leaders openly say so. They an
nounce that both the parties and the
candidates will be put on record on the
liquor issue.
It is well known that the average
politician Of whatever party SHES vio-
lently when the attempt is made to
commit him on the prohibition ques-
ton or on any phase Of the liquor
4 question This was well illustrated
when the Hobson prohibition amend
ment was pending before congress and
efforts were made 20 force 1t to a
vote. Members Of all parties in the
house sweat blood over the way they
should vote. Many pleaded to delay
the vote until after the 1914 elections
and because so many members said 1t
would embarrass them to vote either
for or against it the vote was delayed
until after the elections and held back
until last winter.
The prohibitionists have been meet
ing with such success Of late in adding
states to the dry column that they have
resolved to make a more aggressive
campaign than ever. They are PLAN
ming not only numerous important
fights in states and in communities
as, for instance. the proposed campaign
to make Chicago sdry-out they have
determined to press the struggle for
submission of a. prohibition amendment
harder than ever 1t will be forced on
the attention Of both house and senate
next session. And then, in 1915, every
presidential candidate will be cate
chised, driven to state his position one
way or another, and the conventions
viii be urged to put dry planks into
the platforms
To Be Bone Of Contention.
Right at this point Of what the plat
forms will say or not say there is
likely to arise some of the most ami
mated contention Of the whole 1916
contest.
Interests opposed to prohibition. In
cl1ding the liquor Interests. recognize
thst it is coming. They are laying
their lines to keep dry planks out Of
the platforms.
Secretary Bryan Is the chief leader
Of the dry cause IN the democratic
party. Should he make the fight for
dry plank in the democratic conven-
ton there is no telling what would
happen. 1t is not unlikely he could
force such plank into the democratic
platform. He has lately strongly urged
that the democratic party divorce it
self from the liquor forces He has
urged this in his weekly publication.
And he has gone over to Philadelphia
and preached q temperance sermon

Washington, March 24.-Many people
at this season of the year are consid-
erlng what towering plants they shall
put in their gardens. The average
housewife, who has not much time to
spare on the matter, the child who is
Just becoming interested in growing
plants, and the teacher who Is laying
OUT school garden for the benefit of
her pupils will undoubtedly welcome
some simple suggestions along this
line. The United States department Of
agriculture's specialist particularly
recommends rs satisfactory and cas-
ily-grown flowers. the ageratum, the
nasturtium. the petunia, the California
poppy, and the zinliia. Here ard q few
pointers Of them:
Ageratufn.-The ageratum Is one OF
the few blue flowers we have. Ina Its
form 1t somewhat resembles the helio-
trope but has no odor. Ageratums grow
well upon almost all soils and thru
wide range OF, climate. For that rea-
son many combinations with them are
possible. The plants are neat, bushy
and erect, and produce profusion OF
brush like flowers turnout the season.
The dwarf blue sorts make fine borders
and are much used where contrasting
color effects are desired. For early
bloom the seed should be sown in cold
frames or in boxes In the house early
in the season (March), but for summer
and fall bloom the seeds may be sown
in April or early In May in well-pre-
pared beds in the open. Seeds sown in
August will produce good plants for
winter towering.
Nasturtium-The large seeds Of the
nasturtium require to be planted much
deeper than the fine seeds Of the Pc
tunia. Sow them in rows where the
plans are to grow, placing the seeds
about six inches apart in the row and
cover them about an inch deep. When
all plants are up, thin 80 that they

lance. The plants should be given
clean cultivation to induce rapid
growth. II planted in the open at the
same time thar beans are planted, very
satisfactory results will follow. For

Bryan 70 Back Up.
But the information which ID abroad
in well Informed quarters in Washing
ton today is that Bryan will not seek
a dry plank in the next democratic
platform. The Information further y
that he will oppose such plank,
either openly or. indirectly, on the
ground that the time IL not ripe and
that it would probably defeat the
democratic party. His position will be
that for the time being It should be
left to the states to deal with the wet
and dry problem, and that later on It
may be expedient to declare for pro-
hibition as a party but not in 1916.
Such an attitude on the part of Mr..
Bryan will block a dry plank from en-
trance into the democratic platform.
because no other strong democratic
leader will take the Initiative for It..
President Wilson is disposed to leave
both this issue and suffrage to the
states.
Nor is there reason to believe that
the republicans will take up a dry
plank. True, there is powerful senti-
ment in the republican rarty for It
but the republican political leaders
will take about the same attitude as
the democratic leaders, that the issue
is too uncertain from the standpoint OF
vote getting to adopt it.
Not So Bold az Cummins.
One republican presidential possible
ity, it is true, has come out and de-
clared that the saloon must go. This is
Senator Cummins, of Iowa. But the
other aspirants are not likely to be so
bold about it. And some Of the friends
of Senator Cummins are expressing
their regret that ne talked out so
plainly, lest it center on him the OPP
position Of wet elements within the
party for the nomination. 1t is posi-
BILE that Senator Cummins' attitude will
force the wet and dry proposition to
the front in the republican conven-
ton much more pronouncedly than
would have been the case but for his
statement It certainly will do so if
he develops much strength in the con-
vention or-should presidential pri-
mary law be passed-in the primaries.
Congress could probably shunt the
wet and dry question to cre side so
far as 1916 platforms are concerned by
voting to submit a prohibition amend
ment to the states. That is. such con-
gressional action might have this eff
feet And then again, it might not. It
might stir up the issue more than ever
What is making the politicians lose
sleep O. nights is that they are not
sure how to shunt it aside.

Eat Pineapple.

Charles G. Percival NJ. D.. Of New
York. in his advertising campaign.
advises us to eat pineapples. The
partaking of slice of pineapple after
meal is quite in accordance with
physiological indications. since fresh
pineapple Juice contains a remarka bly,
active digestive principle similar to
pepsin. This principle has been
termed "bromelin." and so powerful is
its action upon proteids that it will
digest as much as 1000 times its
weight within few hours. Its di-
gestive activities varies in accord
ance with the kind Of proteid to which
it is subjected. When a slice Of fresh
pineapple is placed upon a raw beef
steak the surface Of the steak be-
comes gradually gelatinous owing to
the digestive action of the engine of
the juice.
OF course, digestive agents exist
also in other fruits. but when it is
considered that an average sized
pineapple will yield nearly two pints
of juice it will be seen that the di-
gestive action of the whole fruit mus:
be enormous. The activity of this
peculiar digestive agent is destroyed
in the cooked pineapple. but unless
the pineapple is preserved by heat
there is no reason why the timed
fruit should not retain the digestive
power.
Unlike pepsin. the digestive princi-
pie of the pineapple will operate in
an acid. neutral, or even alkaline
medium, according to the kind of
proteid to which it is presented 1t
may therefore be assumed that the
pineapple engine would not only aid
the work and digestion in the stom-
ach, but would continue that action
in the intestinal tract. Pineapple, it
may be added, contains much indi-
gestble matter of the nature Of woody
fibre, but it is quite possible that the
decidedly digestive properties Of the
juice compensate for this fact.
