WHEN TO GATHER ROOTS

For medicinal purposes, roots
and herbs should be gathered
when their medicinal properties
are at their best. For instance,
roots of annual plants should be
dug just before their Towering
season, and roots of biennial or
perennial plants after the tops
have dried. All these things are
taken into consideration in gath

HUN MUST SIGN

At Paris Planning Means
Of Coereing Germans.

Paris, May 6.-The Germans must
sign the peace treaty or face eco
nomic isolation.
This was made plain today when
the blockade section of the Supreme
Economic Council was instructed to
draw up plans for economic isola-
ton of Germany-to be put into ef-
feet il the enemy attempts 10 carry
out its threat to refuse the peace
terms.
Recent dispatches from Berlin
have indicated the confidence of the
Germans in their ability to evade
the terms of the treaty was based
on the belief that public opinion in
allied countries would not pe-it
further military action against Ger
many. Today's developments show
ed the allies will not depend upon
the direct action Of arms, but the
indirect action Of an iron bound
blockade, to enforce the treaty.

Information from various German
sources indicates the country is in
a serious condition. financially. in

Allied commercial and financial ald
is needed to restore industrial condi-

sending large quantities Of food INTO
Germany for some time.
Sudden reestablishment of the cco-

Gus even than during the war-would
force the Germans into quick suomis-
sion, it ia believed. As an indication,
however that the blockade VIII nc

simultaneously announced today that
pending acceptance or refusal OF the
treaty certain financial restrictions on
Germany will be further relaxed.

The final step toward full restoration
of Italy's rights in the Peace Confer

credentials of her delegates were SUD-

week.
The allies will thus present a united

Twenty-Five thousand strong. the di-

easily than It had taken Boche posi-

played pleasure in doing it.
Boyish as the young veterans of the
great war appeared. many of the Off
GERS looked yet more youthful. Some
had the appearance of being in their
teens. But in the whole division there
was not one man who was not every
inch a soldier. No body of men parad-
