 In many respects, the regula- tions are simplified and made to apply more directly to the prob lems for which they are designed, said the Inspector.

FLOWERS INSIDE
DURING WINTER?
Editor Tells of Plan t
Raising Indoors
BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

Last Saturday in the space oc-
cupied by this weekly sermon on
ones house and grounds the sub
ject matter proved popular-So
popular that at least 1874 or per
haps IA people requested further
guidance on their gardening.
You may remember we discussed
the possibilities for improving the
exterior landscape in october.
What can be done in the same
month. four or maybe II good citi-
zens have asked, for the interior
landscape?
Quite a number of ways and
means have been disinterred by
horticulturists for providing foli-
age and flowers for ones home
during the winter.
PLANTS INDOORS
First of all, consider the outdoor
plants which may be dug, potted
and moved inside. There are gera-
NUNS and petunias and fuchSias,
for instance. Cut them back be-
fore potting and spraying them
with water daily for a time.
Second, consider the indoor
plants you can start now in your
window boxes. Most such plants
will do well in a mixture of humuS
and loam-about half Of each
with some sand. Ferns and bego-
MAS are exceptions.
Third, consider the various
bulbs. Most hyacinths and mar
cissus will thrive in window boxes,
but many folk prefer the short cut
of growing them in water, among
stones.
NEED WATER
Fourth, consider the fact that
practically all house plants need
warm, humid air. A dry house
will react unfavorably on your in
side garden" and so will poor
ventilation. The plants breathe
through their leaves and need reg.
ular spraying with water and
proper circulation of the air.
Fifth. consider the element of
sunshine. BlosSoming plants re-
quire it. For best results, q
southern exposure is advisable, but
windows on the east are some.
times suitable if the curtains are
up at dawn and on the west if a
bit Of sunshine struggles through
late in the day. Foliage plants
will often progress fairly well in
ehadier locations, providing there
Is enough light, if not necessarily
directly from the sun.

Enamel Good For
Rusted Plumbing

The appearance Of old corroded
plumbing fixtures, sinks or tubs
can be considerably frightened by
the application of q little paint.
Two coats Of white enamel make
good finish for the outside Of q
sink or basin, while aluminium or
bronze paint may be used for the
faucets.

Equipment

DUCTS-1f you have hot-air
furnace, consider the advisability
of having one end of the intake
duct placed in the coldest part of
the house. 1t will draw the cold
air back to the furnace in many
cases, thus permitting warm air
to rush in.

after moth has laid eggs. They
help repel the moths, but little
else. Only poison or removal Of
the worms can cure the trouble
after the eggs have been laid and
Matched.
BATH CURTAINS-Here's a
new one. These latest shower bath
curtains, of figured transparent
and waterproof material, can
make pretty and serviceable win
dow curtains for the basement,
children'S playroom or attic. They
won't be harmed when somebody
leaves a window open and they
are more than easy to clean.

United States Day of Thanksgiv-
ing . that we then may unite in
rendering unto Him our humble
thanks for His kind care and protec-
ton of this country previous to it's
becoming a nation for the IA
vorable interposition of His Provi-
dence in the course and conclusion
of the late war; for the great de-
gree of tranquility, union and plenty
which we have since enjoyed; for
the peaceable and rational manner
in which we have been enabled to
establish constitutions of govern
ment for the civil and religious
liberty with which we are blessed
and also that we may then
unite and beseech Him to pro-
mote virtue, knowledge and the in
crease of science among us"
Several more Thanksgiving day
proclamations were made in the fol-
lowing years; then under Jefferson
they were forgotten. But those SEN
timents of Washington's original
proclamation became creed gen
erations later to Sarah Josepha
Hale, editor of the highly influential
Godey's Lady's Book, the magazine
with the quaint and colorful fashion
prints which today decorate lamp
shades and hang in picture frames
in thousands of homes.
This cultured, energetic little
woman devoted a large share of her
time to her plan to make Thanks
giving day an annual national holi-
day. She wrote literally thousands
of personal letters to governors urg-
ing that their states unite in observ-
ing Thanksgiving day. She fore
saw the coming of the Civil war,
and she looked upon a national
Thanksgiving day, uniformly cele-
brated by all of the states, as con-
ducive toward peace.
But it was not until after the war
had started that she succeeded in
obtaining a Presidential proclama-
ton from Abraham Lincoln.
A national proclamation has gone
forth in each of the "a years since
that time. If we are happy about
it, let us give thanks this Thanks
giving to the far-seeing editor of
Godey's Lady's Book.
