 In many eastern states the rains provide practically enough water to take care of a garden, but that is not true in all places.
 Remember this: too much water chills the ground and hardens it and, in the end, does more damage than good.

REMEDY FOR LYNCHING.

No, feature of Luther Boddy's
escapade in New York and Phil
adelphia is more remarkable
than the fact that this negro assas-
sin owes his capture to negroes.
Boldly had killed two detectives
on the way to a police station in
New York City, and escaped. For
three days he pursued a devious
course of fight, punctuated by hold
ups and made picturesque by wo-
mans disguise, through three
states. Finally he reached hav-
,en in Philadelphia, among "his
own people" Then a humble ne
gro magistrate, borrowing a revolv-
er, went boldly to the room where
the murderer Was sleeping with
one gun by his hand and another
under his pillow, and arrested
him.
The criminal will now pay the
legal penalty provided for his
crimes. New York and Philadel-
phia are not much given to lynch
ing: and yet such crime as this
when perpetrated by a black man,
has led to more than one mob MUIR
der in cities just as respectable,
north as well as south. There is
no more effective way for pegroes
TO tight lynching tn by this same
process of delivering up to justice
men of their own race who are
known to be guilty of crime.

CATCHING COLD.

The doctors are very impatient
nowadays with peopleswho are al
ways catching colds" and who in
sist that they catch them in such
ways as sitting near an open win
dow or getting the feet wet or leav
ing a bedroom window wide open
at night or merely being outdoors
on cold day.
Nearly all Of the things usually
blamed for a cold, up-to-date doc
tors insist. are really good for a
cold. Cold, fresh air is help, not
a hindrance. to health. It may be
necessary to guard against it to
some extent when the patient has
once acquired a bald cold. but the
cold does not come in the first
place by exposure to cold air.
The cold comes from definite dis
ease germs OR virus, and the infec-
ton is caught from other people
people with active colds, <who are
sneezing or coughing. Avoid them,
and take other reasonable health
precautions in the way of whole
some food, rest, sleep, ETC., and you
can enjoy drafts with immunity
Lowered vitality" lays the foun-
dation for most colds, says an ex-
perienced physician. The most i'm
poftsint thing is to avoid depicting
your vitality. In sturdy health, a
person may be able to stand expos
ure to infection or throw it off
easily. When the patient is weak
ened by overwork, worry, late
hours, improper food, impure air,
etc. the enemy has an easy time

THE BRITIsH-FRENCH ALL
ANCE.

Americans do not think much Of
alliances, even for other nations;
but they cannot find much to c,iti-
else in the new British-French al
lance arranged by Lloyd George
and BRAND at Cannes.
The definite obligations assum-
ed may seem rather one-sided.
Great Britain pledges herself to go
to the aid of France with all her
fighting power, as she did in 1914,
if France is attacked again by Ger
many. That obligation, however.
may sound bigger than it really is.
Germany is not now. and is not
likely to be for many years, in po
sition to attack France; and if she
ever does become power VI enough
again. the very existence Of this de-
fensive alliance will doubtless prove
an effective barrier Everybody
knows that Germanty would not
have started the war in 1914 if she
had known that Britain would come
in.
And Britain gets her full equi-
valent, as usual. French militarism
is deprived of all legitimate excuse
for being. France cannot row. if
she wanted to. arm against Eng
land or any other country on the
pretense that she is arming against
Germany. Britain. moreover. will
have a freer hand to shape the
German reparations according 60

STREET DRIVES FOR FUNDS

The board Of aldermen of New

urc requiring that all street solicit

ganizations must be preceded by
an application for permission to

Provision is made for fines and i'm

this particular method has become
a genuine ard widespread nuisance

mites, both large and small, now
have their annual community
chests, to which citizens of all sta
tons and degrees Of prosperity
contribute. Those chests are sup
posed TO care for all legitimate To-
cal welfare work, and frequently,
also. to contribute something to-
ward national or even. foreign re-
lief work. The citizen who has
contributed to that fund. and per-
llaps to . few other enterprises
which have particular appeal for
him, cannot but agree with the

SELLING SOUTH AMERICA.

Not the low prices of her goods
but the wise methods of her sales
men is bringing Germany's COM
merce success in South America.
That is the opinion of venezue-
Ian gentleman who has for eight
years represented an American
machinery equipment. company in
Venezuela. His comment on Amer
lean methods is interesting.
American manufacturers. he
says. send their best statesmen to
South America. These men arrive
with lot of enthusiasm and a
typicaiIy American determination
to do business in a hurry, They
do not care about social or business
traditions of the countries they
visit; they consider them unimport-
ant. The result is that they return
to the States in short time both
disappointed and disgusted; and
their firms. believing that their
best men have failed, give up the
game.
The German salesman takes his
time about things. He studies 10
cal conditions, takes home as we'll
as an office, forms friendships and
becomes an established member of
the community before he tries to
sell anything. When he does start
selling he is willing to take a pres
ent loss with an eye TO future
gains when his policy has begun TO
bear fruit.
The prestige OF American goods
has never been greater in the
South American lands than it is to-
day, declares the Venezuelan. Re-
gardless Of German low prices
American goods would win out if
only American methods were less
brusque.
