The LaFollette seaman's bill
passed by the last Congress is
driving American vessels off the
seas and turning all of the Ameri-
can shipping over to foreign yes
sells. The law should be repealed
at the earliest possible moment to
save the owners of American yes
sells from ruination-or force them
to sail under a foreign flag.

The legislature has sane spells
once in a while. 1t killed the Vint
(wind) bill which prescribed ten
dollars a week as the minimum
wage for women in the state, which
had it become a law, would have
put tho lsands of young ladies out
OF employment. The fact, that
thousands of men in the state with
families to support are working for
less than ten dollars a week, prob
ably never entered the Vint mind
if he has one.

An upstate paper is surprised
at the press announcement that
Senator LaFollette is touring North
Carolina in the interest Of the
Democratic party. Nobody should
be surprised, nor anyone labor I'M
der the impression that our senator
is a republican. At the last nation
al election he supported Wilson
and has voted with the Democrats
in the Senate on all questions on
which there was party align
ment. The fact is, he is neither a
republican nor a democrat, but Just
a political buccaneer who knows
only one man and party-and he
IS the man and party.

One of the anomalous features
following Bryan's resignation as
secretary of state, is his announce
ment of prohibition and the rally
of the German Alliance 10 his
standard. 1t is fair to presume
that the Alliance went off half
cooked.

1t will be remembered that at
the outbreak of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, William Jennings Bryan
volunteered his services. He was
commissioned a colonel and went
to the front-as far as Tampa,
Florida. When the order came to
sail, William Jennings had urgent
bushes back at Lincoln, Neb., he
having a stomach ache or some
thing of the sort. w. J. has the
earmarks of being a good gutter
and has faculty of quitting when
the quitting is good.

parting of the ways for both the
President and Bryan had come and
the hypocritical expressions in the
letter OF resignation and the accep-
lance OF the same were simply nau-
eating. Bryan could not run Will
son, who is doing the best he can
and under the circumstances and is
entitled to the confidence and sup
port OF the American people. While
he may have name mistakes as he
did IN the Mexican hasco last year,
he did what he thought best at that
time and the first note to Germany
was Ill timed and uncalled for.

milk. Strain into the dish with the
caramel, set into a pan of hot water

cream may be served with this or it
may be served alone. Do not allow
the caramel to become too brown or
the custard will have burned taste.
A simple dessert well liked, is any
kind of canned fruit with spoonful
of whipped cream as garnish.

BEAUTY OF DAY LILY

Everyone admires the Day lily
which in later years has been greatly
improved Earlier there were only a
few sorts to select from, but today we
have good range OF colors and a
long season OF blooming, the result Of
the hybridist's art.
Those who enjoy lilies in yellow
shades in particular will find in this
species much enjoyment ana success
for their efforts. This plant may be-
grown from seed or divisions Of old
plants They are very certain bloom
ers and the season runs from about
May 20 to September.
They may be planted at any time,
and will stand more Indifference than
most plants. Every plant lover should
have some of the later introductions,
as the improvement has been more
wonderful in this than in any oth}r.

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National Heirlooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved in the east room
of independence hall, on the second
floor Year by year the cane bottoms
of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hail.
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost. mis-.
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two OF
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for 1t was impossible to erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place,
and, moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers" of the blind women did the
work in spite OF all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

Early in April is the time to trim

Cut out all the dead wood and weak

three essentials; heat, moisture and
air. Therefore it is folly to put seeds

dates, add two cupfuls of orange pulp,
half cupful each of celery and cocoa
nut and cream salad dressing. Mix
lightly and fill the cups. Place on let
tuce leaves when serving. Other nuts

surplus so that it does not make the
coating too thick. The fat should be
smoking hot and then tested with a
small cube of bread; If it browns in
40 seconds it is hot enough for all
uncooked mixtures, a 60-second test
of the same will be right for all
cooked mixtures. When fat bubbles
and boils, too much moisture is in the
mixture and few less should be add
ed to the fat. Five or six croquettes
or cakes are sufficient to cook at one

WORK WITH THE FLOWERS
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.


Do not neglect the winter garden
even though the plants are at their
best. Turn the plants once a week ];
stir the surface soil; wash the pots
with strong soapsuds; give plenty of
fresh air daily; shower the plants
once a week. watch for pests; see
that the warm sunshine does not
scorch your plants on warm after
Moons.
Plants that are intended for bedding
should be shifted as they fill their
pots with roots, and give plolsty of
sunshine and air. Otherwise they
will be leggy and weak.
If you wish to get specimen cannas
and dahlias, start few in the house
early. Remove roots, stalks, and I'M
necessary fiber and cut. into single
eyes. Then pot in four-inch pots in
rich soil; shift when the pots fill with
roots. The Gamma, like corn, needs
moisture and heat to develop properly.
Let the hedge take the place of the
fence where possible about the house
grounds. If the fence is imperative,
let it be hidden by drapery of vines,
Honeysuckle is the best permanent
vine.
California priyet leads the hedge
plants in popularity; then comes bar
berry, japanese ounce, aIthea, buck
thorn and some varieties of roses.

A flower friend says she rid her lemon
tree of scale by applying a strong
lather of soap suds with a stiff brush
to both sides Of the leaves, stems and
trunks. This was allowed to remain
for half day and then washed off
with clear water. The scale was then
easy to brush off.

Put pane of glass on the pot and
