SUNFLOWERS FOR POLES.
Man Who Finds Difficulty in Get
ting Wooden Ones Gets Tip.

New York Sun: Il had the
grandest little bean jungle last year"
began the war gardener from Rye.
Bean jungle?' p inquired the friend
from Portchester.
"Yes, bean jungle And I'm go
ing to have another this year, only
this year I'm going to have it right.
1t happened this way: My wife
wanted a lot of beans to can, so
| put in forty hills of pole beans.
When | came to look about for
bean poles, | found lot of young
locusts on the place, but they were
thorny and hard to handle. SO !
went to the seed man for poles
When he told me the price per pole
and | had multiplied it by 40 !
found the price to be-what do you
cal ait nowadays ?-prohibitive.'
"Prohibitive, you said il ! A lot
Of prices are prohibitive nowadays,
said the man from Portchester.
"Why don't you plant Russian
sunhowers for bean poles says the
seed man to me. They grow eight
or nine feet high, make good sturdy
supports for the beans and their
broad leaves shade the beans, which
is not a bad thing, as it keeps them
green longer. And then you have
sunhower seeds for the chickens
Sounds reasonable says /. SO l
bought packet of Russian SUM-
flower seeds and planted 4 couple i'll
each hill.
"lf [ had planted the sunnowers
first SO that they might have had
a good start, everything would have
been all right. But when | planted
the sunhowers the beans were al
ready beginning to show up. When
those Russian sunfowers came
through and began to grow the
beans fell upon them and then be-
gan regular sa'to, a kand-to- hand
encounter between the beans and
the sunfowcrs, which lasted all
summer.
AT first it was an even bet wheth-
er the beans would strangle the sun
flowers or the sunflowers break
through the beans. By midsummer
it was a grand tangle, with the sun
flowers beginning to win. Only in
some hills there would be heap of
bean vines holding down a twisted
but still struggling sunfiow<r but
in most of the hills the sunflower
had broken through and had shot up
and unfurled his defiant yellow flag
while the beans draped around be-
low.
we had plenty OF beans at that.
and my wife canned a lot, using
the wash boiler method. But !
never thought it was just right to
start those sunhowers and then set
the beans on 'em and make 'em fight
with each other all summer that
way. However. | learned that Rus
sian sunhowers, if planted early
enough to get a good start over
the beans, make tip top bean poles

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist fer 35c. Extra
.arge bottle, S1.0o. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
oimples, rash, blackheads and similar
slsin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making 1t
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
yreasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

CAMPAIGN STARTED
BY MEDICAL CORPS
Nationwide Drive Made Aga
inst Respiratory Diseases.
(By international News servioe)

(sy International News service)
Washington, April Respiratory
diseases having caused practically
all the sick and death rates in the
nation's new armies, the Medical
Corps today began nationwide cam
paign Of prevention against pneu-
monia, measles. diphtheria. humps.
meningitis infantile paralysis, indu-
enza and tuberculosis
All Of the diseases mentioned are
spread or communicated in the same
way through the transfer Of nasal
and mouth 5 etions. The sickness
rate in camps n uehtout the coun.
try could be CT % the minimum if
the soldiers and the general public
as well stopped promisouous cough
ing, sneezing and splitting.
The difficulty of controlling these
diseases, it was pointed out at the
SurgeonEGenerars office today, lies
in the fundamental fact that human
beings scatter their nose and mouth
secretions without any consideration
despite rules and regulations to the
contrary.
One sneeze in crowded ear could
infect many persons in the ear with
pneumonia, or measles, or diphtheria
or mumps, or meningitis or infantile
paralysis. or tuberculosis, One hearty
cough could do the same. In either
case, spread Of any OF these diseases
could be prevented if sneezer or al
cdugher used his handkerchief as a.
cough catcher" TO sneeze or cough
in ).
Unlike some disease germs. the
germs which cause the disease men
toned do not die Or become harm
less upon drying SO that when they
are dried and blown about with the
dust they are still capable OF setting
UP disease in many other people
The problem of the respiratory dis
eases which comforts Surgeon.Gen
eral Gorgas and the Army Medical
Corps is seriouss Apparently how
ever, the public generally IS totally
ignorant Of the iinlmeasurable harm
that is done through ungaurded and
rromisehous coughing. sneezing and
splitting
Army Medical Corp experts who
have given untiring study to this
problem have reached the conelus
ion that national campaign must be
inaugurated at once, not only in the
camps, but in the homes in the Of
fees, in the street ears, and in all
public places to stamp out this wide
spread habit Of Splitting and cough
hing, If health conditions for our sol
diers are to be improved.
They feel that such campaign is
as important in every way for the
object to be achieved as was the
now famous and eminently success
full fiy-swatting cpnipaign which
