Pershing Studies Details
of American Expedition
With President Wilson

Washington, May %. - Major
General John j. Pershing, who will
command the division of regular
army veterans which is to be sent to
France "at the earliest practicable
moment" called at the White House
yeNerday and paid his respects 10
President Wilson.
As commander-in-chie of the
army and navy, Mr.. Wilson uudouDt-
edly gave General Pershing nual in
structions regarding the part the
American contingent is to play in the
world war.
Secretary Baker accompanied the
field commander to the executive
offices.
No successor has been appointed
TO General Pershing as commander
of the Southern Department. Briga-
dier General Parker, as senior officer
in the department, is acting as COM
mander.
Secretary Baker said he had been
studying the uestioqn of providing
general officers for the large forces
10 be raised. About l 80 major gen.
erals and brigadier generals must be
appointed within the next few weeks.
1t is believed that Mr.. Baker is
studying the records of officers with
out undue regard to seniority. The
general belief in official circles is
that a good many young men will be
appointed general officers. This policy
is being followed by Great Britain
and France with marked success IT
is recognized that many things about
the old military system must be
scrapped if the United States is to
have the highest degree of efficiency
on the lighting line in France. Merit
and military genius promise to have
their reward wherever developed.

BOTH PARTIES
HIT BARUCH
Designation of Broker TO
Spend Ten Billion StirS
Condemnation

Washington, May 20. - Criticism
of the Administration has come from
Democrats as we'll as from Republi-
cans, because of the report that Ber-
nard NJ. Baruch of New York, has
been clothed with authority to spend
$4,000, 100000 of American money
without compensation.
Representative George r. Lunn, OF
New York in defense of Baruch, as
serted that his connection with the
copper interests of the United States
had made it possible for Baruch 10
supply the Government all the cop
per it needed at 16 cents pound
when the market price was 80 cents
Speaker Champ Clark took hand
in the controversy.
DO you know" he asked Repre-
sentative Lunn, that the Utah Cop
per Company made an official report
TO it's board of directors that it could
furnish copper on the cars ready for
shipment at Is cents a pound?'
Well" answered Lunn, Mr.. Ba-
ruch seems to have brought the price
down from so cents a pound to Ii
cents. Without him we would have
been paying so cents to-day
Il am willing to give Baruch credit
for pulling it down from so to 16
cents" said Clark, but he didn't
pull it down half far enough. Why
doesn't the Attorney General hop on
these people. He ought to put every
one of them in Jail before Saturday
night"

DISEASE GERMS.
(By FRANK SCHMIDT. J

Disease germs are harmful and
should be destroyed. Disease germs
make people sick and often cause
them to die. These germs are about
us on every hand. They may be in
the air, in our food, or in the water
we drink.
We can avoid disease germs by
keeping things sanitary, by fumiga-
tion, by destroying garbage piles, by
keeping our bodies clean and healthy,
and by destroying the germs that
come from the bodies of the sick.
Many diseases We get from germs
! are: Colds, tetanus, catarrh, in
| fluenzza, tonsillitis, bronchitis, dyp-
iberia, whooping cough, chicken pox,
scarlet fever, and measles.
About the year 1900 vaccination
began to be practiced and smallpox
at once began to decline. Where 1t
is thoroughly carried out, smallpox
has almost ceased to exist but where
people are not vaccinated very much
1t is still impossible to prevent the
spread of disease germs. Vaccina-
tion is almost a perfect protection
against smallpox germs. Edward
Janner in 1897 discovered vaccina-
tion.
Disease germs produce toxin in
the body, the body works up an anti
toxin to destroy the toxin and save
itself from being poisoned. Scientists
have learned how to get diptheria

antitoxin from the blood of horse.
When person is attacked by dip
iberia some of the antitoxin from a
horse is injected into the body. This
does not kill the diptheria germs, but
destroys their toxin and saves the
cells from being poisoned until the
body can kill out the germs, and stop
the disease. 1t is very important
that the antitoXin be given in the
early stages of diptheria, for after
the toxin has poisoned the cells of
the nervous system, kidneys, and
heart great damage has been done,
and it is not possible to undo it. An
titoxin is useful in all stages of the
disease. however, and should always
be used. 1t is also very useful in pre-
venting diptheria and when a person
has been exposed to the germs dose
of antitoxin is often given to prevent
the development of the disease.
An antitoxin for Tetanus is pre-
pared from the blood of the horse but
it has not proved very valuable in
curing the disease except when used
in the early stages and in large doses.
1t is very valuable, however, in pre-
venting the disease and when a per-
son has received wound that is like
ly to bring on tetanus a dose of the
antitoxin should be given. When this
is done the disease is almost certain
to be prevented.
There wouldn't be half so many
diseases if the people would destroy
the disease germs and they should be
destroyed.

At the North the castor bean is most

hOtbed, greenhouse or living room cam
be made use of for the purpose. As
soon as the first true leaves have
formed, the young plants should be
pricked out into small boxes or pots,
where they should be kept growing
slowly until all danger of frost has
passed, when they may be transferred
TO the open. After tranSplanting the
young plants, it is desirable that they
have sufficient room to prevent them
from growing too tall and consequent
ly from losing their lower leaves.
If planted in the open ground at the
same time garden beans are planted,
the castor bean will make growth of
from four to six feet by the middle
of August. This plant loves rich soil,
plenty Of moisture, full sunlight and
great heat. The varieties range in
height from three to ten feet and have
leaves Of corresponding size.

SWEET PEAS
(Lathyrus odoratus)

The sweet pea during the last de-
cade has been greatly modified and
improved by careful selection and cul-
tivation, the flowers being larger and
more varied in color and marking than
formerly. The result is that the
sweet pea has come to be one of the
most popular annual Towering plants.
1t repays well the attention given it.
The flowers are well suited for bou-
quets, and lend themselves well to
table decoration. While the climbing
habit of the plant is such as to pre-
vent it's use in groups and borders,
its height Is not sufficient to allow its
use as q cover or screen for q lattice.
The most satisfactory method OF
growing it Is in long rows provided
with rabbit-netting wire. supported by
strong anchor posts and intermediate
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1917-06-16

stakes, to prevent the wire from sag
ging between its supports.
Sweet peas require soil deeply
titled and well supplied with plant
food. A satisfactory method is to
open a trench about foot wide and
ten inches deep in rich garden loan,
in the bottom Of which about three
inches of well-rotted manure is
placed, with two inches of fine top
soil scattered Immediately over it.
Upon this bed SOW the peas in double
rows about eight inches apart, the
seeds being placed from half an inch
to an inch apart in the row. Cover
the seed about three inches deep, and
after the young plants appear ard
have attained sufficient height fill tie
trench completely.
AS the sweet pea can hardly be
placed in the soil too early in the
spring, all general preparatory work
should be done In the autumn, and the
seeds sown as early in March as prac-
ticable. In sections with a winter
less severe than that of
Washington the best results will I'M
doubtedly be obtained from fall SOW

all soils and through a wide range of
climate; for that reason many com
binations with them are possible. The
plants are neat, bushy, and erect, with
continual profuse clustering of pref
ty brushlike flowers throughout the
season. The dwarf blue sorts make
fine borders and are much used where
contrasting color effects are desired.
For early bloom the seed should be
sown in cold frames or in boxes in
the house early in the season-March
but for summer and fall bloom the
seeds may be sown in well prepared
beds in the open. Seeds grown in Au-
gust will produce good plants for win
