IRIS

Take some strong clumps or iris,
about two or three years old and not
too large. Leave the earth on them
and take them up just before the
ground freezes and put them in large
pots in cool cellar. If they do freeze
it will not hurt them, but see that the
frost comes out gradually.
Bring them up to the light and put
them in a southern exposure and they
will flower during February and
March. If white ones are planted
beautiful Easter flowers will be pro-
vided. With care iris will bloom al
most half the year. The flowers grown
in the house are more delicate and
beautiful than if grown out of doors.
Other winter flowers are expensive,
but these can be secured at little cost,
and when once started one can get
them from ones own garden.
Experiment with irises this fall: yol
will get pleasure and profit from it.

BEAUTiFYlNG THE HOME
GROUNDS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

If you want your bed of cannas or
border of caIadiums to make a grand
showing from now to frost, give them
a frOst-iike covering of bOnemeal; then
stir the soil, water thoroughly and
mulch with lawn clippings. Do this
toward the end of this month and be
sure to remove the fading flowers.
Copy nature by sowing seeds ef
perennials as they ripen. Provide some
sort Of shade for the seed bed. n
screen made of lath or one Of Isn-
bleached muslin will answer.
The robust-growing plants Will need
some sort of support. Let the supports
be painted green or oiled to bring out
the grain of the wood and you will
find them more pleasing than rough
sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive
the stakes fast into the earth a little
lower than the plants, so that they are
inconspicuous.
The plants needing supports are such
hardy perennials as delphiniumS,
giant foXglove and snapdragons. Do
not overlook giving stakes to the dab
las, cosmos, hydrangeas and gladi-
oil.
To maintain continuous blooming
from now until frost, a few perennials
must be preserved. Make a habit Of
cutting flowers freely and remove all
the fading blossoms and nature will re-
ward you with a lavish hand.
After this month, allow the chrysan-
themums to grow according to their
own will-that is, stop pinching them
back

To Wash 0rgandie.

Organize, which is very thin and
sheer, does not need heavy starching,
and it is perhaps better to do all the
stiffening of this material with gum
arabic Add two tablespoonfuls Of
prepared gum arabic water to a quart
Of lukewarm water and dip the or
candle, after it has been dried, into
this. Roll the garments into a tight
roll and allow to get partly dry, Have
ready an atomizer containing luke
warm water and with this atomize
the outside of the roll, which win be
drier than the inside. Iron the
starched organdie on the wrong side

GARDEN NOTES

Tulips increase by bulblets which
issue from the side of the larger
bulbs. Under certain conditions, too,
the larger bulbs split up into smaller
ones.
In a well-drained, sunny bed the
bulbs will live and increase from year
to year, but should be lifted, divided
and reset every third year, as the
clumps become too much crowded to
thrive and bloom.
In potted lilies, set the bulbs two
inches or more beneath the soil. The
larger the pot, the larger will be the
plant.
Auratum, Speciosum, Longiform and
Brownii are all suitable for pot Gull
ture.
After potting, water and set in 2
dark closet or cellar, keeping the soil
moist until roots form and tho tops
start, when the roots may be brought
to a cool window, say in January or
February, if early started.

Beauty Helps.

The complexion brush should be
used on the neck once day. A soap
may be used or meal. cleaning
cream should be massaged into the
skin on retiring and before going into
the open for sun exposure. A good
liquid that acts also as a cleansing
agent and stringent and gentle bleach
should be daily applied. The entire
surface of the neck should be COW
cred, going around the hair line and
back Of the ears, rounding out the
treatment SO that it will include any
collar style.

TAKE CARE OF THE GARDEN
TOOLS

Any steel tool will rust if exposed to
damp air, yet I have found that tools
subjected to the following treatment
every three months will not rust I'M
less actually thrown on the ground, or
exposed to a hard rain.
Take two parts each of graphite and
tallow, and one part gum camphOr !;
melt together, and if not soft enough
to form a stiff paste add more tai
low or lard.
Remove all rust from the steel sur
face, wipe dry, and apply the paste,
Let It remain on for "a hours and then
rub dry.
Unless the tool is needed, even long
err than one day will be still better for
the tool to be covered with the prepa~
ration.
The above preparation has the eff,
feet of a coating of oil, though every
vestige has apparently been removed
for months.-H. +. G.

of the railroad crisis of the past two
weeks, the latest of the difficulties to
beset the chief magistrate, and, like
Henry Ford, he declares that the
president has met it with his "usua
courage and sanity"
Mr.. Edison also believes that, in
view of his extraordinary experience
gained during period of continuous
storm, Mr.. Wilson is by far the better
fitted of the candidates to receive the
mandate of the people and bear the
responsibilities of office in the next
presidential term. Mr.. Edison, in
that opinion, must reflect the rapidly
crystalizing views of large number
of voters who place country above
party.
Mr.. Wilson's remarkable record in
office may be studied, in some detail,
in the summary of his achievements
which is presented in another part Of
this page. 1t makes detraction look
cheap, while its appeal for the ap-
proval of the nation has the strength
that comes from deeds alone.
There is as little reason for brand
ing Woodrow Wilson's presidency at
failure, in this year of 1916, as there
was for branding Abraham Lincoln't
az a failure in the fall of 1864.

auguries can be drawn. But these
lose force and conviction when stood
beside the fact that the Democratic
candidate gained 10000 votes and
more over the 1912 Democratic vote,
and the Republicans lost 1900 and
more] of the 1912 Republican P ro-
gressive vote.
If the change indicated by the
Maine vote prevails all over the coun-
try, the Democrats will gain largely,
and the reunited" Republican party
lose-and our Republican friends can
figure, and figure again, but they
cannot disprove the simple arithmetic
of this.
The same proportionate change in
New York would swing New York to
Wilson by 25O,OOO votes. In the whole
country such change would give
Wilson the presidency by 100000 ma
iority of the popular vote.

The Maine Election.


Democratic victories in Maine are
like cold days in August. They hap
pen sometimes, but not very seldom.
In such strong Republican state the
Democrats have all to gain and little
to lose. The only question which has
any real bearing on the November
result is-what did they gain, il they
gained anything, in the election Mon
day, the Eleventh of September, 1916?
Sills, the unsuccessful Democratic
candidate for senator, polled 10000
more votes than we're cast for Wilson
in 1912, while Fernald, Republican
candidate for senator, polled 1000
fewer votes than the combined
Roosevelt and Taft vote of the same
year. And Hale, Republican, for
senator received 5000 less. Here is
certainly gain for the Democrats
and a loss for the "united"> Republi-
can party.

years many interesting and ingenious

The Wilson Tide Rising.
Springfield tMass.) Republican J

Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
Thomas A. Edison's strong pro-
nouncement in favor of the re -elec-
ton of Mr.. Wilson is notable sign of
the returning of the tide in the
direction of the president. Mr.. Edi-
son has always been republican, but
he favored Mr.. Roosevelt's nomina-
ton by the republican national con-
vention this year. In the 10 weeks
since the nomination of Mr.. Hughes,
the republican candidate has failed to
win Mr.. Edison's support, notwith-
standing Mr.. Roosevelts own in
dorsement of the Hughes candidacy.
Mr.. Edison's reason for preferring
Mr.. Wilson as the next president
pierce to the heart Of the question and
reveal the elementary truths which
every citizen should face. Mr.. Edi-
son acknowledges like a generous man
and a patriot that no president in his
mature lifetime has had to meet such
succession Of perplexing and stag
gering problems as Mr.. Wilson has;
yet, in no case, as Mr.. Edison points
out, has the presidents decision in
volved the country in disaster.
