NEW POLICE CHIEF SLAMS ON
THE SUNDAY LID
Safe behind the support of the
newspapers, our new police chief,
Herman Schuettler, slapped the
Sunday closing lid on yesterday as
it has never been slapped before.
Aided also by the scare that States
Atty Hoyne has thrown into saloon
grafters, the big boss of the police
force went to it with a will, sparing
none who disobeyed the law.
The police found lot to do be-
cause some of our worst bars and
cabaTets seemed to have acquired
the habit of staying open on Sunday
during the Healey regime,
Misled by the belief that the new
chief could not close them up and
tricked by a new stunt in police cir
cles, 10 saloonkeepers were caught
with the goods on"
The bright idea that put it-Over
on the bar owners was to send eight
lady policemen who have been doing
department store flirt duty out with
regular detectives as escorts to buy
drinks in cheating bars. It worked.
When the police were served with
the liquor they asked the owner or
manager of the bar was grabbed and
hustled to the nearest police station.
Liquor served was taken along as
evidence.
One silk-stocking place fell into
the hands of the police through this
scheme. 1t is the "PaIais de Danse |
club" at the Bismarck Gardens, !
which has stood pretty well with the |
authorities in the past The others |
were mainly saloons of petty politi- |
clans.

SPREADING SOCIAL ScoURGE
Columbus, O., Jan, 15.-An out

homeless, Mona Simon, 26, once re-

sought revenge on the class of men
she blamed for his disgrace and
spread a social scOuTge.
Then she laughed and sneered at
her victim, tainted him and inquired:
What are you going to do about
it?"
Her death by murder at the Desh-
Ter hotel last Thursday night was the
answer.
Weldon H. Wells, %, of Kansas
City, confessed to the murder, -po-

"She laughed and sneered and said

HOW TO TREAT coNVULSIONS
Hot Bath the First Thing TO BE Ad.
mlnistered to Child Who Suffers
From That Complaint.

When a baby has convulsions. Il gen
orally means one Of two things either
Il is suffering from toxaemia, or pois-
Onlng, which Is usually the result OF
errors In the diet, or else there Is some
serious trouble with the nervous sys.
TEN. II feeding Is at the bottom Of the
trouble. find out the error aud correct
II, and the attacks viii cease. When
there Is organic trouble present, the
case Is more serious. The attack mas
be stopped, but IL Is likely to recur II
the underlying cause persists. Such
are the commissions caused by menin'
gifts, or acute Inflammation of the
brain coverings, and by hydrocephalus,
or water pressing on the brain.
1t is unnecessary 70 describe the
symptoms, for the most inexperienced
person knows when baby Is having
II oonvulslon. In older people a ten
dency TO commissions indicates an un.
stable nervous system, and that is
probably true of infants who have con-
vulsions in consequence Of dietary err
rOrs that would leave stronger chill
dren unaffected. Children who have
commissions in their first year often
suffer from night terrOrs, tics and 9TH
er signs Of nervous instability later In
life. Sometimes commissions are the
first signs of an epilepsy that Is to
appear In after years.
The first thing 70 do when a baby
falls into convulsion is to get 1t
into a warm bath as quickly as pos
sible. That is done to relieve blood
tension and equallze the circulation,
and to this end It is well TO give cold
applications TO the head at the same
time.
Do not hesitate to give the hot bath.
Sometimes inexperienced people who
dread TO make n mistake insist on
waiting until the doctor comes. But
the hot bath for n baby In convulsions
can never be a mistake. The doctor
should be called without delay, be-
cause In severe cases the bath must
be followed by sedative and rellev-
ing treatment that he only will know
how to employ. There is one import
ant don't" to remember-don't put
anything into the childs mouth-elther
food, medicine or stimulant-while
you are waiting for the DOCTOR
Youths Companion.

tonishing how few people will go to
the trouble to raise their own stock.
One may buy good bushes for from
three to five dollars a hundred. and II
there is a bush that bears well about
the place it will supply with advantage
all Of the basis needed without max
ing any purchases.
According to the ancient method,
| cuttings were taken late in August
or early in September, tied in bundles
Of so and then buried tips down In
the earth, with the butts a couple Of
inches below the surface. The butts,
callus and the cuttings are transplant
ed to the nursery row either late in
the fall or early in the spring. If they
are set in the fall, they must have pro-
lection throughout the winter.
But it is a much more common prac-
tice among nurserymen to take the
cuttings and place them in the nursery
row almost Immediately after they are
cut from the old bush. If they are
thus handled, a good portion of the
plants will develop roots before the
winter comes and when the first warm
days Of spring arrive they are ready
to start growth In earnest.
There remains another plan for the
man or woman who hasn't had time to
attend to the fall planting. 1t is to
take the cuttings some time during
the winter and bury them in sand in
the cellar until spring. They are then
set in the nursery row. They will do
almost as well as the fall cuttings
When it comes to setting currant
cuttings the least costly way is to
plow furrOw and then put the cut
tings against the land side of the fur
row. One or two buds are left above
the ground. The buds below the sur
face of the ground should be taken off
if the tree form is wanted. The earth
should be packed firmly against the
bases of all of the cuttings.
There is no difference in the manner
Of taking the cuttings, no matter what
form of propagation is adopted. The
new growth should always be used.
Make a clean, square cut just below a
bud for the base of the cutting. A
slanting cut, some distance above a
bud should be made for the top. The
purpose of this is to shed water and
to keep disease from getting hold on
the young plant
Nurserymen generally let the young
pushes grow a couple Of years before
selling them, but there is really no rea-
son why a healthy plant should not be
given it's permanent home after 1t is
/ year old.

DRESSING THE TABLE

At all of the latest flower shows of
the first magnitude prizes have been
awarded for the best dressed tables.
The idea is to impress upon the public
the part that flowers and plants may
play in adding some psychological eff.
feet to the routine matter of eating.
The most ordinary food, served with
some garnishment of flowers, takes on
an added zest and the big flower shows
have sought to develop taste and in
terest in making the table something
more than a place to put food. The
first prize table at one of the most i'm
portant shows had a centerpiece of
flowers, with individual stands for
each guest.
The harmony of the floral offerings
undoubtedly won the prize for the sue
cessful exhibitor.

MAKING THE BRIDES BOUQUET
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN


Many of my readers who live far
from the big cities will be surprised to
learn that in New York city some OF
the big florists employ men whose sole
business in life is to make bouquets
| for brides.
There has been such an enormous in
crease in the national wealth and so
much of it had gravitated toward the
chief city of the land that it has to find
| expression in many ways that would
never occur to the master of west
ern or a southern farm.
The underlying reason for the crea-
tiOn of the new occupation of making
special arrangements for the bridal
bouquet may probably be best ex-
planned by an incident that took place
in one of the leading New York hotels
A woman of wealth and fashion had a
gown designed in Paris. 1t was all her
own. she was carefully arrayed for
her appearance in the dining room.
When she reached the table she
glanced across the room and spled an
other woman wearing a gown Of the
same model.
The woman swept from the table in
haste
"Where are you going?" asked her
escort.
ITO change this uniform" indignant
ly replied the woman of money.
That Idea is the underlying princi-
pie that makes the specialist in bridal
bouquets possible. The rich and So
phisticated people of society want
something different. Whether it is
decoration for the table, the arrange
ment of a flower bed in the lawn, or
the planning of a costume it wants
to have some distinctive feature that
others have not previously used.
That is where the maker of bridal
bouquets shines. Men who have a
head for such things study the shape,
the composition and the design of each
wedding bouquet and then set their
heads to planning something of a diff
ferent type for the next conner.
1t is something like trying to eat a
quail day for thirty days. No man
can undertake such task and devote
much thought to anything else in a
town where the brides average at least
one day in the class where the cost |
of flowers is absolutely no consldera-
tiOn if something novel can be pro-
duced.
Woe betide the young man who
sends out a bridal bouquet that one Of
the seasoned veterans of society can
recognize as being like the one he saw
at previous wedding. 1t must have
1t must be in class by
Itself, and this demand has created a
field for men who can think and who
devise novel arrangements of flowers
to be carried by the procession Of
brides that marches each season
through the society columns of New
York.

CHAPTER lIl-contlnued.

'Indeed they are not" cried Pru-
dence Loyalty. "They are young. lively,
mlschlevous know-and am glad Of
IT. But | have lived with them ever
since they were born, and / ought to
know them. They are unselfish, they
are sympathetic, they are always gen

thlngs-but never things that are hate
full and mean. They are all right at
heart, and that is all that counts. They
are not bad girls! What have they

do that was really mean? They EN-
barrassed and mortified me. but not
intentionally! l can't punish them for
the effect on me. you know Would
that be just or fair? At heart, they
meant no HARM"
1t must be confessed that there were
many serious faces among the Ladies.
Some cheeks were flushed, some eyes
were dOwncast, some lips were com
pressed and some were trembling. Ev-
cry mother there was asking in her
heart, did punish my children just
for the effect on me? Did judge my
children by what was in their hearts,
or just by the trouble they made me"
And the silence lasted so long that
It became awkward. Finally Mrs. Prem
tiss crossed the room and stood by
Prudence's side. She laid a hand ten.
derly on the young girls arm, and said
in a voice that was slightly tremulOus:
81 believe you are right, my dear 1t
is what girls are at heart that really
counts. believe your sisters are all

very sure Of-they are happy girls TO

just. Not all real mothers have as
much to their credit"

sana in Many Countries.

The air of ''God Save the King" and
"Heil Dir i'm Sieger Kranz" also fig
ured in the national or patriotic songs
of many other countries. In the Unit
ed States it was adopted by Samuel
s. Smith for his famous song, begin
ming my Country, 'Tis of Thee" This
was first sung in Boston in 1882, and
has often been called the national an
them of the republic, although that
honor is now more generally accorded
TO "The Star Spangled Banner"
In Bavaria the same air is used to
Hell unserm Konig, He'll !" In Switz-
erland it becomes "Rufst du, mein
Vaterland." 1t is sung with other
words in Denmark, Norway and a
number of the German states, includ-
ing, besides Prussia and Bavaria, the
kingdoms of Saxony and Wuerttem-
berg, and in Brunswick, Weimar and
Hanover.

Manarove Forests in Bahamas.

Mangrove trees are to me the most
fascinating of all the vegetable
growths of our strange planet. When
young, as we thus first came upon
them, at the opening of the creek,
there is something tender and idylic
about them, with the fresh, childlike,
laureline leaves and dangling rods Of
emerald that were really the suckers
Of their banianlike roots; but, as we
proceeded inland they grew into an
absence and bizarre maturity, like
nightmares striding out in every direc-
ton, with prancing, skeleton feet
planted in nOisome, fostering swamps,
and stretching out horned, clawing
hands that seemed to take root as one
looked and threw out other roots of
horror like a dream.-Richard lie Gal
ienne, in Harper's Magazine.
