GUARD AGAINST ROSE SLUG
Good Idea Now to Devise Means tor
Combating Deadly Enemy Of Sue.
cessfuI Flower Garden.

One of the greatest drawbacks to U
successful garden is the ravages Of the
rose slug, which renders an entire
bush unsightly in short time. But
this enemy may generally be combated
If the work is begun in time.
If given, early in the season, good
spraying once week for several weeks
In succession with the full force Of the
spray from the garden, hose, this pest
can easily be kept down. If you do
not have hose make up the following
solution and use it full strength from
the ordinary watering can: To one
bucketful Of boiling water use a good
sized cake of whale-oil soap and one
teaspoonful Of nicotine. Apply this
mixture four nights in succession.
Commence to combat all garden enc
mics early in the season. before they
have rendered the plants unsightly.
Climbing roses grow luxuriantly In
almost any sunny situation. They are
strong feeders and care should be
taken that their growth Is not inter-
fered with by being planted in too close
proximity to the roots Of trees or
strong shrubbery. While many varie.
ties are very hardy, yet they will flow
er longer if planted where they can be
protected from strong winds.

CITY MANAGERS IN ILLINOIS
Plan Is Growing In Favor-Eioht
States Now Have Laws Dealing
With the Matter,

Glencoe and Winnetka have operated
successfully for some time under the
city management plan, in spite of
handicaps. They have felt the need
Of specific statutory authority and have
been somewhat embarrassed by the
presence of certain elected minor OH.
Gals who are not under the jurisdic.
ton Of the village trustees. For this
reason many cities. and villages wish
to adopt the commissioner manager
form of government. '. \ y.
The plan Is to be made applicable to
cities or villages not exceeding 10000
population-thati is, to all municipali-
ties of the state except Chicago. Un-
der It's terms the city or village coun-
Gil would consist of the mayor and
four commissioners, to be elected. All
administrative and executive powers
would vest in city manager appoint
ed by the council for an indefinite term
at compensation fixed by the council
and subject to removal at the coun.
ellis pleasure.
Eight states now have laws of this
sort In successful operation. They in
clude New York, Massachusetts, Iowa,
Michigan, Ohio and Kansas. Notable
instances Of successful use Of the man
ager system are found in Dayton and
Springfield, o., and Niagara Falls,
N. Y.
Only one feature appears to vex the
student Of municipal government. This
relates to the payment of q salary to
the mayor, whose functions would be
largely although he is to
be member of the council and its pre-.
siding officer and fees to the other four
commissioners for each meeting at
tended and for time spent on city COM
mittee work. Yet it is quite possible
that the absence of such emoluments
would tend to make available foH
these positions men of high class and
marked ability.-Chicago Daily News.

Describes an Ideal Dwelling.

"A home is not properly a show
place." says Noble Foster Hoggson.
Rather, it is house and plot Of
ground that, together, bring rest to the
aged, peace to the strong, and Joy to
the hungry, riotous spirit Of youth. It
Is a creating-not a mere fulfilment
Of an order, the result Of a contract
we'll or i'll kept, thing to be bought
and paid for by money.
Money cannot buy a home," de-
clares Mr.. Hoggson, ''but," he adds,
"he who hungers for home may, by
taking counsel with those who are
practiced in giving expression to hui
man desires in terms Of houses and
their environments, achieve a result
quite as happy and as truly as IL he
were to sit to a great portrait paintes.a
