When the bowels are constipated,
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter,
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform

the society's growth.
Born in Portland, Eivers attended
the Christian Brothers college, where
he was graduated in 1908. He entered
the wholesale business world as a
salesman. When the trouble on the
Mexican border took place Eivers, who
was a private in Company III, Third
Oregon infantry, went with his organi-
cation to Texas.
He entered the World war with the
same regiment as captain Of the ma
chine gun company. Eivers arrived in
France in December, 1917, and served
with the Forty-frst division until he
returned to America in February,
1919.
The first temporary chairman Of the
Oregon department of the Legion, Eiv-
ers was made department adjutant by
the first convention in 1919, and served
until January /, 1922.
He was elected chef de chemin de
fer at the Kansas City convention of
the 40 and society, and was reflect
ed at the recent New Orleans conven-
ton. Under Eivers' leadership, the or
ganization, which was in existence be-
fore it was recognized by the Legion,
showed a gain from deficit to profit
of $4,000 one year after he took
charge. In appreciation Of his efforts
the New Orleans convention reelected
Eivers unanimously.

START THE PLANTS
In WINDOW BOXES
All Vegetable and Flower Seeds
Respond to Warmth and the
Bright Sunshine.

A window box for starting early
vegetable plants will give the home
gardener from ten days to three weeks
in earliness over his neigh
Dor who does not have some means of
starting early plants. Tomatoes, pep
pers, eggplants, cabbage, cauliflower
and lettuce are the crops that lend
themselves best to starting early in the
house. 1t does not matter what kind
of a box is used, but for convenience
it should be about 3 or 4 inches
deep and Of size that will readily
fit into the window space The box
can be set on small table or on
special legs or supports.
One method of providing a window
box is described by the United States
Department of Agriculture. Take
soap box. or some similar packing box
and saw it horizontally lengthwise into
two sections. If the box is too deep
for saving through the center, two
cuts can be made, using the top of the
box with cover nailed on to form
the bottom tray and the bottom part
OF the box for a second tray. The
middle section which is cut out may
have a bottom nailed onto it, form
ing still another tray. Only one tray
will be needed i n the window at
first for the sowing of the seeds. Later
additional trays or flats, as they are
called, are required for transplanting.
One point of great Importance in
starting early plants in the window
Is to see that they are not over wa

answers are daily pouring in.
Wisconsin will endeavor to stage
not only post programs but will con-
duct state contests open to all posts.
State contests in basketball and track
are already being planned. The bas-
ketball tournament will no doubt be
held in March in a city yet to be Sc
lected. Trophies have been selected
for the basketball tournament.
If plans go through as outlined
posts will engage in bowling contests
with the results telegraphed to the
other contesting team. If interest in
this event runs high enough the state
nament in the spring. AT present the
posts in Milwaukee have started a
six team league.
If sectional tournaments are held
in any sport the posts of that particu-
lar section will back the movement.
However, all state tournaments will
be staged and authorized by the state
department.
Wisconsin is the home Of skiing.
Several large jumps are to be found
in Chippewa Falls and lola While
it is not thought at this time that
state Journeys will be held in this
sport yet sectional champs may be
held by the posts in the sections near
the jumps.

Attribute Their Success to
Newspaper Advertising

In an interview today, Mr.. Warren
Wright, President Of the Calumet
Baking Powder Company, strongly adj
vocated the use of newspaper adver-
Using, and points to Calumet's sue
cess as proof of his statement.
Calumet sales are 2h times as
much as any other brand" stated Mr..
Wright, 'and we attribute this to our
lavish use Of newspaper space. We
believe that the newspaper is the most
direct medium we can use in getting
our message across to the housewife,
and we know from our experience COW
ering thirty years that the housewife
will respond to newspaper advertis-
Ing quicker than she will to any other
form of advertising.
"The housewives have confidence in
newspaper advertisements because
they know that the newspapers set up
high standards for their advertisers.
1t is for that reason that the house
wife looks to the newspaper for in
formation on products in which she
Is interested"

Sleep at Right Angles.

A winged ant or moth will take
hold of a stalk of grass or weed with
it's mapdibles and while hanging on
at right angles take a nap.
Wind may blow, the grass may
wave and toss like a ship in a storm,
but the napper goes on mapping.
It is as If a man clamped his teeth
to rope and then went to sleep,
high in the air. Only the insects
jaws stay set while it sleeps much the
same way as the foot Of a chicken
clamps itself on roost at night, and
does not open again till morning.

START THESE INDOORS

Plants which should be sown In
doors or in the hotbed for early vege.
table garden are lettuce, onions,
leeks, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants,
parsley, celery, cucumbers and melons.
If for any reason particularly early
crops are desired, carrots and beets
may be started and transplanted, but
this is rarely deemed desirable. If a
e. lener has ample cold frame room,
Re can have an extra early garden in
the frame by planting the seed there
to mature. Beets, carrots, young
onions, radishes, spinach and early
turnips may be started in this way.

Most farmers can spare enough
manure from their other crops TO fer
tilize properly a one-fourth acre gar
den plot, but in some sections, espe-
cially near towns, manure is no longer
to be had in quantity and other means
must be found for fertiliZing garden
soils. In brief, states the United
States Department of Agriculture, at
least three methods of adding fertility
to the soil. First, by the application
of manure; second, by the use of soil

orally speaking 400 or 500 pounds of
fertilizer containing 3 or per cent
nitrogen, s per cent phosphoric acid
and to per cent potash, will be all
that is needed on a one-fourth-
garden. Fertilizers should be used
most heavily on corn, potatoes, cab
bage and the root crops and more
lightly on beans, peas and tomatoes.

RAIN AND WELL WATER

Rain or soft water is the best
for plants. When growing in
the flats, If soft water is avail
able it will be better than hard
or well water. If there is no
cistern and water can be caught
from the house roof when it
rains, the plants will respond
with greater satisfaction If
given a drink of the rain water.
Soft water is better for the
crops when growing in the open.
However, during drought, any
kind of water is better than
none, especially when applied
directly 70 the roots.

GARDEN NEAR THE HOUSE

Locating the garden in relation TO
the house is an important factor too
often overlooked. Often the garden is
placed In the most remote corner of
the yard or grounds. Modern gar
deners who, as rule, cultivate their

building crops, and, third, by CONNER
cial fertilizers. No one method is as
good as any two or the three COM
bined, and If we are to get the best
results from the use of commercial
fertilizer reasonable amount of ma
nure or organic matter must be in the
soil.
The amount of manure required will
depend entirely upon the soil itself,
but very few cases are found where
the use of manure on gardens is being
overdone. The same might be said
about the turning under of manure
crops or soil building crops. Even the
weeds that grow upon the surface dur
ing the late summer, aside from their
seeds, are often valuable for working
into the soil. The method Of applying
the manure will also depend upon To-
cal conditions, but as a rule manure
that has been piled and thoroughly
composted will give better results than
that which is in the raw state.
Too much cannot be said in favor
of the compost pile by means of which
equal parts of manure and soil or
sods, which are even better are piled
to rot. This compost heap should be
turned once or twice during the win
ter months and the material applied
to the garden as a top dressing dur
ing the spring. Ten tons of this kind
of material will not be too much for
the ordinary one-fourth acre garden.
Commercial fertilizers are used for
adding plant food to the garden and
give best results when used in con-
junction with stable manure or com
post. Commercial gardeners often use
as much as 1000 pounds to the acre
for special crops like celery, but gen.
