NIGHT BLOOMING cEREus

The genuine night blooming cereus
Is a snaky-looking plant, but from the
time the buds appear in the early
spring, looking like tiny tufts Of cot
ton, until the wondrous blossoms are
perfected, the plant is always an OBJ
ject of interest.
The opening of a cereus blossom
can never be appreciated until seen.
There is the quivering of the petals.

Some plants are slow in attaining
blooming size, yet when this is once
reached they are faithful each year.
The humming bird and the rat-tail are
notable for exceptions, blooming nicely
when but few months or year old.

SOME TRIED WINTER HINTS
BY E. VAN eENTHuYsEN.

When the hanging basket looks
shabby, or is at standstill, it is very
likely 1t has been neglected as regards
watering. Remember it is wholly sur
rounded by air, and requires .aore
water than the potted plants.
Plants will not flourish If they
must breathe gas generated by coal or
wood in stove or furnace, or escaping
Illuminating gas. Stop the leaking
gas, and give ventilation by raising
and lowering a window at some dis
tance from the plants SO that the cold
air may get warm before 1t strikes

used with caution and good common

for any cause live roots are removed

cut back the top to correspond. Then
give smaller pot than the plant pre-

Give fresh air literally. Keep the

sALvIAs AS cur FLOWERS

The saliva splendens, or scarlet sage,
makes beautiful vase flower, al
though it Is not seen in vases as Of
ten as it should be. Grown out of
doors, 1t should be bedded in large
masses and does best where the sun
shines freely. If well cared for it will
maintain its beautiful splendor of deep
red from midsummer until frost cuts
it down. 1t is important that the soil
shall not contain too much nitrogen,
as in that case the plants make too
rank growth and produce few flowers.
Lifted just before frost and put in
the window in bright, warm place,
salvias will remain very attractive for
five or six weeks.
There are about $50 species of this
plant, which include all of the sage
family. The meaning Of saliva is "to
keep safe or healthy" and refers to
the medicinal properties of the COM
mon sage. but it is one of the most
popular common flowers and well de-
serves its popularity.

TRANSPORTATION slruArIoN.

TRANSPORTATION elTUATloN.
Hon. Jeanette Rankin, member Of
congress from Montana, writing in the
Chicago Herald on the federal food bill
and its prohibition amendment, empha-
sizes very forcefully the transporta-
ton side Of this economic problem.
We quote:
The converting of grains into food
products instead Of into liquor would
not stop in its beneficial results with
the mere increase in food supplies. It
would touch the heart Of problem Of
food distribution which has been long
begging for solution.
"For years we have known that the
reason produce was rotting in the
fields In one part Of the country while
men, women and children were starv-
ing In another part Of the country, was
because transportation facilities were
inadequate to transfer all available
food from Its source of production to
the consumer. if9
According to the United States sta
tistics abstract for 1915, there are in
this country 2,35633S freight cars.
There were consumed in this country
In 1915 almost 100000 carloads Of
liquor, including more than $4,000 car
loads Of wine and spurious liquors and
more than 868, 900 carloads of beer.
"Of course, much Of this liquor was
consumed in the same locality in which
1t was produced, SO that perhaps one
third Of It, or even one-haH of 1t, never
necessitated the use Of freight cars for
conveyance. But 1t is conservative to
estimate that the transportation Of
liquor in the United States requires
the use Of 10 per cent Of the freight
cars available for use in this coun-
try.
1.-TWO hundred thousand freight cars
would 60 a long way toward reliev-
ing the transportation situation with
regard to food products, and the re-
lease Of these cars for this service
would greatly augment the pairing
knife campaign which the women of
the country have been urged to wage
In the interests Of the war. q
@Inasmuch as the production Of beer
In this country has occupied. just ten
times the bulk Of spurious liquors
and wines, the exemption Of beer and
light wines from the prohibition regu-
lati6ns would mean that less than one
eighth Of the possibly available freight
cars Ito say nothing Of the grains
used) would be. released for food trans.
portation." l'iit9iF II

THE STRAND

Wilfred Lucas and Lillian Gish are
so-starred in Souls Tr mphant, a
Triangle picture which will be exhib-
tied at the Strand theatre today and
Saturday.
The play presents contrast of char
acter and of scene. There is the in
genuous girl Of fine ideals and the wo-
man whose spirit is represented bv a
snake. The quiet scenes of home and
country where the girl dominates are
flashed in startling contrast to the rev.
erly of underworld. resorts.
One Of the most prominent parts in
the play is taken by a, 3-year- baby
athlete. He appears as the son of
the young couple who are on the verge
of separation because of the husbands
reversion to the licentious pleasures
OF his bachelor days. The child per-
forms many gymnastic stunts such
as handsprings, standing on his head
and turning somersaults.
