WEARY OF
COMMISSIONS

Is there to be no end to the creation
Of governmental commissions by the
State and nation?
The census commission and many
other commissions created start in
very innocently and then are maos
permanent. .
In Great Britain the census is taken
and the result made known in "a
hours; here it takes years.
New we are to have tariff COM
mission, change for more repreheH-
sible graft than was ever offered
few men.
Why do we pay State officials, leg.
islators, courts, and all the depart
ments of government if we must add
commissions?
Suppose you tried to conduct an
targny or business with a commission
on the outside Of ali the regular Wa.
chinery set up?
Would it not be failure? We create
railroad commissions to make it hard
to build and operate railroads and util-
tiles.
We create an Industrial commission
to stir up trouble between employers
and their employees and give Jobs 10
politicians. -
There are row four commissions to
deal with the tariff-a federal trade
commission, tariff commission, COM
mission of appraisers and a customs
court,
= The State of Wisconsin went 80 far
as to create commission to inyeSft-
gate commissions and then the peo=
pie rebelled and kicked it out.
Is 1t not time to call halt In all
this, commission business and get
back to simpler form of government?

POTATO BREAD TO
AMERICAN HOUSEWIVES

Potato bread is not alone ration
for the war-stricken peoples but also
very pleasing and nourishing food
which any American housewife can
prepare by using recipe made up
by the Department of Agriculture. 1t
calls for 3 Id. of boiled and mashed
potatoes and "a ID. of wheat flour.
Bread made with these materials has
a rich brown crust, an appetizing Cd
or very agreeable taste, and will
keep fresh several days longer than
ordinary bread From the December

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the better health
that a change to Postum can bring.
they are usually glad to lend their
testimony for the benefit OF others.
My mother, since her early child
hood. was an inveterate coffee drink
er, had been troubled with her heart
for number of years and complained
of that .weak-all-over' feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making a
visit to distant part Of the country
and took dinner with one Of the mer-
chants of the place. noticed some
what unusual flavor of the coffee
and asked him concerning it. He re-
piled that It was Postum.
Il was so pleased with 1t that l
bought package to carry home with
me, and had wife prepare some for
the next meal The whole family
liked 1t so well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had been very anxious concern
ing my mothers condition, but we
noticed that after using Postum Tor
short time she felt much better. had
little trouble with her heart, and no
sick stomach: that the headaches
were not so frequent, and her general
condition much improved. This con-
tinuud until she was well and hearty.

Tin March) mulch of rich soil or
hotbed material should be laid over its
roots.
When peonies are grown in sep
arate bed an edging of daffodils will
be effective with the crimson shoots
of the peonies in April The foliage
of many of these plants turns in au-
tumn to various shades of purple,
bronze and crimson, when the plants
again become decorative; and it is a
mistake to cut off the foliage Of the
peony directly after Towering, as it
is necessary to the plant while ma
turing it's growth for next season and
makes mass of not undecoratiye
green.
Tall lilies can be grown between
the peonies in a border, choosing the
hardest varieties for a cold situation.
These will make their way between
the foliage of the peonies and look
very handsome after the peonies cease
to bloom.
Other suitable plants for massing
with peonies are the tall blue and
white delphiniums, Campanula persi-
cifolia Tin blue or white), pyrethrums,
aquilegias, ETC., all of which are
perennials. Carnations are attrac-
tive massed with peonies, and will
do well with the same cultivation as
the peonies. For a bouquet for the
home, these splendid flowers are
unique when cut with long stems and
arrange in bowl with plenty Of

A WORD ABOUT PEoNlEs

Peonies should be planted in the
autumn early If they are to do well
the first year, October being the
best time for the work. They are
not too particular as to soil; but
in every case this should be well dug
to the depth of Is inches, enriching
it with manure, which should not,
however, be allowed to come in con-
tact with the root in planting, but
rather be mixed with the top soil, at
the distance of few inches from the
plant.
Peonies are propagated both by
seed and by division; the former plan,
however, is lengthy and troublesome,
as the majority of a batch of hybrids
will be found worthless, and a large
plot of ground is necessary as place
of trial.
They can only be obtained true to
name by division of the roots; but
this should not be attempted until the
plant has been in one place for two or
three years, as they do much better
when undisturbed, when it will ma
ture fine shoots, which year by year
increase in size until the peonies be-
come one of the grandest sights in
the garden. y
During drought in summer (par-
ticularly when the plant is young) an
occasional soaking with water will
benefit the peony, and every spring

DESIRABLE HOUSE PLANTS
By ELIzAeETA VAN sENTHUYsEN.

Asparagus plumosus is one Of the
most beautiful pot plants. The dark
green leaves are lacelike and fine for
cutting.
Asparagus sprengeri is for vases,
hanging baskets and brackets. The
branches droop gracefully in long.
delicate lacelike sprays and are occa-
sionally covered with delicate sweet.
scented white blossoms which are sue
ceeded by scarlet berries.
If you have not provided yourself
with hanging basket they can be had
already arranged from the florist,
There is nothing lovelier. Oxalis bulbs
make pretty plants and for best ef-
forts should have been bedded some
time ago.
One of the best palms and the quick
est growing is the Washington filifera.
The seeds will germinate as readily
as corn, and the plant will stand dust,
dry air, lack of sunshine and general
neglect, growing right along in any
situation and with any treatment that
will keep geranium alive.
1t is a compac. grower, well Gdapted
to the living room and always orna-
mental everywhere.
Another choice PAIN is the Areca
Iutescens. Another still as desirable
Is the Kentia fosteriana. Palms are
like one OF the family when welI cared
for They are always beautiful, al
ways laeful.
