Just as the twig is bent the trees

Just as the twig is bent the trees inclined"
 As a rule her geraniurns are last years. tall, with much foliage. There are more or less dead leaves upon them and if a flower it is allowed to remain until quite faded and sere. I just long to go about that plant stand and among those pots and snip and prune, and rrune and snip.
 High priced plants and rare slips she often indulged in, and as q rule they usually die of ill-treatment- nothing less. And as rule the florist who furnished them gets the blame. l have told her many times how l manage my plants. Not possessing her conyeniences nCr resources. I yet grow twice the number Of flowers, a1- though no more pots.
 To my friend oS the untidy window have l explained again and again how necessary that dust should be kept from the foliage and the plants kept in condition of perfect cleanliness. And believe that she understands this and means well; but like many another it may be the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
 This is not all. The untidy gardener is not usually nice about watering and her plants have imperfect drainage. often none at all. There is more sat isfaction and pleasure in three clean, healthy plants in respectable pots upon window sill than in thirteen ill., sha pen, sickly plants upon the finest revolving flower stand the florist pos- sesses.
 Dust, spiders, green lice, scraggy branches, dead leaves, withered flowers guard against them and keep your plants, few or many. trim ard thrifty. with you there. I know you can. What one woman can do others may attempt. Face about, examine those plants you have in your windows. Look them over every day, ana water and snip and shower. Failure or neg lect in daily duty win be written against you.
 Do not complain of lack of time II you have time for flowers at all, you have time to treat them we'll And do not grow more than you can care for. The thrifty little geranium with it's gay blossom so bright and smiling to greet you in the morning or when you return from work at night is worth more to you than palms or orchids. if you have time to care for the geranium only.
 The untidy window gardener does not as rule place her pots well. They are too near, or at wrong angles, Usually it is a crowded appearance, the foliage touches, overlaps and of- ten wits and dies.
 Plants need freedom like other living things to do well. Give them that freedom and rejoice in their glad growth and beauty.
 A window of fine plants that have survived winter and are budding up to bloom and bloom, is one of the fine sights of spring. How the neighbors will dote on that window How pass ersby will nod and gaze. How friends will sigh and wish they had been more careful when that dreadful cold night in March came round. And all the while the owner smiles serenely, knowing that a price has been paid.

 Eternal vigilance I answer.

NEW YORK, Jan. Sit is rmnored
on the produce exchange that Kaiser
William second. emperor Of Germany
is dead. 1t is impossible to confirm
the rumor, as the death OF the emper-
or, in such crisis as the present one,
would be withheld as long as possible.
II is known, however, in Berlin that
his condition was serious and it has
been feared that it might result fatal
ly.
Speculation is rife today throughout
the world as to what the result would
be in case the kaiser had really passed
on, and 1t was thought in most quart
ers that 1t might have tendency to
hasten peace. In case of his death his
eldest son, would be called to the
throne, and the crown prince is fully
as warlike as the father.

SERIOUS INFLUENZA
EPIDEMIC SPREADING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--Influenza
is spreading over the United States
from coast to coast in the most seri-
Gus epidemic ever known, taking a
large toll in lives and causing economic
loss by incapacitaung workers in all
walks OF life. Reports fIom public
health service ouicers made public
tonight by Surgeon General Blue show
that already the disease has created a
grave problem for many of the larger
cites, and Is spreading to the rural
communities.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Cleve-
land and Detroit reported the disease
widely prevalent Cleveland and De-
troit each have probably a hundred
thousand cases. OF the larger cities,
Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, San
Diego, Dallas and Mobile reported no
sgns of an epidemic.
There is practically nothing the fed
eral government can do toward aid
ing i'll suppression OF the epidemic. 1t
must be dealt with by local authori-
ties, and they in turn, it is explained,
ARE almost helpless without co-opera-
ton from the public. Surgeon General
Blue sad tonight he had called for re-
ports from all parts of the country
with the hope that publicity would
tend to stimulate this cooperation.
