BULBS FOR WINTER.

How to Have BIoomers For the Holt
day Season.
For those who like to have blooming
bulbs In the house during the late fall
and winter months there Is simple
method that requires little time and no
skill. Paper white narcissuses, Dutch
Roman hyacinths and daffodils are
crocuses and other bulbs that are capa-
BILE Of being forced can be grown with
out difficulty.
Use shallow six or eight inch pots
and any loose, sandy soil that you can
get. Do the planting any time before
frosts. II you do 1t later than that the
results are not likely to be SO satisfac-
tory. Fill the pots partly full Of soil
and place the bulbs so that there shall
be some space between them; then COW
err them with soil to the depth Of per-
haps an inch. water them freely, bury
the pots IN the ground euts.de and
cover them with soil to the depth of
three inches. Mark the spot so that
you will know where each variety of
bulbs is buried. When the top Of the
ground begins to freeze cover the
buried bulbs with leaves to keep them
from freezing. The buried bulbs will
at once begin to grow and will need
no attention until they are ready to
bring into the house.
Paper white narcissuses develop most
rapidly, but should be allowed to re-
main buried for at least five weeks.
When dug up they should be watered
and left In the cellar or some other
dark. cool place for few days before
they are brought into the full light. II
placed in cool. sunshiny window and
watered freely they will bloom by
Christmas. Other pots OF narcissus
may be brought In at intervals OF
few days to replace those that have
finished blooming.
Dutch Roman hyacinths will be ready
to bring In by the middle OF December
and other kinds OF hyacinths later.
DafYodils, crocuses and tulips should
remain In the ground until about the
first Of February and should be brought
in ut intervals until the first of March,
In that way, with little trouble ana
experience, one can have bulbs In
bloom from November to April. There
need be no fear of failure If, after the
bulbs have been brought into the house.
they get plenty of sunshine and plenty
Of water.

Necessities For Comfort.

Having given to living room that
audible thing called atmosphere
which depends SO largely on the right
choice Of color scheme, the rest OF its
furnishings is chiefly a question OF
comfortable tables and chairs. For the
f,rst are quite as necessary to our COM
fort AZ the last. Indeed. half the COM
fort of a so called ''easy" chair depends
upon having right at hand a big or
little table to relieve you OF every
thing from book or workbag to q
coffee cup or cigarette. After these
simple essentials add that other OF
comfortable lights, perhaps the naro-
est essential Of all, and your living
room, whether of high or low degree
n pretty sure to be success. Finally,
remember that as many living rooms
are spoiled because of evercrowding
with nonessentials as for lack OF the
few necessities.

SWISS CONCERNED
OVER GERMANY'S
DEMAND FOR FOOD
Teutons Refuse to Sell Them
Coal and Iron With
out Compensation
NEGOTIATE WITH ALLIES
BY YVES GUYoT

Special Cable to the Everino LEDGER.
PARIS, July 7.-Swltzerland Is concerned
over the important question Of the Ger
man ultimatums requiring compensations
for the coal, iron and steel which Germany
sells her. The Federal authorities were
) wrong in not publishing the text Of the
German note, because the Swiss, the
French and the entire world cannot reason
out its exact terms The French Chamber
Of Commerce at Geneva says that, plainly,
respect of neutrality and compensation are
two things which II is impossible to make
hnrmonize, since the system of compensa-
ton is an effort on the part of Germany
TO make breach in the blockade, At the
same time she wishes to hinder the Swiss
selling TO the Allies. having already for
hidden the furnishing of coal to houses
selling us textiles
Switzerland sent negotiators to Paris.
The ALLIES have proved themselves disposed
to furnish her everything she needs, but
knowing she has been serving as an inter
mediator between two groups of belliger-
sehts, they cannot consent to Germany's ex-
tortion. Since the Swiss exports to the AL
lies before the war were much greater than
to the Central Empires, she must remain
friends with them. Thus Germany made
new diplomatic blunder in trying to force
compensation system.
The Hungarian professor Fellner, consid-
ertng the Austro-Hungarian financial situa-
tlon with beautiful optimism, supposes that
Nho iHSotnee OF private lnQlVldualB Will In
crease mere rapidly than the rate of taxa
non after the war. but he appears to need
uisilusioning on the difficulties of llquida-
zion that the monarchy will have. She will
owe enormous indemnitIes TO Servia More
over, ,Austria-Hungary will certainly be dis
rnempered and have to divide her debts
among the various nationalties receiving
their independence. but will not be able to
treat the Czechs and Croats like the Mag.
var and the German provinces, burdening
them with taxes
This undoubtedly will be one of the diff
nculties of war liquidation. After the
Russian successes in Bukowina II is asked
whether Rumanla is going to decide to
preak her neutrality. She can assure her
self OF Transylvania, but, on the other hand.
the 'Rumanians are having great success
selling cereals to the Central Empires, and
nave already delivered so carloads of the
amount promised. While deciding whether
TO take part in the war they are doing
big business.
In France the news OF the offensive has
