TROPICAL PLANTS FOR THE
INDOOR WINTER GARDEN
Palms, Oleanders, Aspidistras, Cacti,
Etc., Are Easily Kept In Good Con
dition If Given the Proper Atten
tion During the Frosty Season
Washington, D. C., Dec. 3.—With a
little care, a number of tropical plaints
may be grown indoors, anil during the
winter they are u particularly attrac
tive addition to a bay window or con
servatory garden. Various kinds of
palms, rubber plants, oleanders,
aspidistras, and cacti are easily kept
in good condition indoors if given the
proper attention and not permitted to
be exposed to frost, according to the
Department of Agriculture's horticul
turists.
Paims are much used for interior
decorations where there is uo direct Bun
light. Reg Alar watering js essential,
with especial care not to overwater. It
is 'better v,\oa moat palms to keep t'hein
a litit'le dry than too wet. W'here a
pot is in a jardiniere especial care must
be exercised not to have them too wot.
While small, wash the foliage occa
sionally with soap Simla made from a
good soap. Immediately follow with
a thorough rinsing. When too large for
tliis, spray the tops frequently with
clear water.
Browning at tlhe tips usually conies
from trouble at the roots—first, over
watering; second, worms on t)he roots;
third, lack of plant food. The first
is the troivble in nearly every case.
Tttte worms that gave the trouble is not
the ordinary earth worm, but a little
white, harmless looking creature that
emerges into the air as a small fly.
Dissolve a piece of quick lime as big
as a tea cup in throe gallons of water.
After it is through sputtering and the
milky mixture has cleared, pour off the
■dear part and soak your soil with it.
Do not dilute, for the soaking should
be thorough. To provide jlant food,
stir small quantities of bone meal and
wood ashes into the surface or in place
of ordinary watering occasionally use
manure water or ammonia water (a
teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of
water). Trim off the brown tips, as
tihey will never recover. If tlhe leaves
turn yellow, look for scale on the un
der side and be sure you are not over
watering. Wash the scale off or spray
with kerosene emulsiou or Whale oil
soap, or some nicotine preparation.
Do not repeat too often. If a 'palm
grows three new leaves a year it does
well.
Rubber plants are especially satis
factory to grow where tflere is a good
lig.ht without direct sunlight. Water
often enough to keep the soil moist, but
do not under any circumstances permit
water to stand about the roots nor al
low it to become "bone dry." A
potted plant set iu a jardiniere needs
especial care not to overwater.
Was'h the foliage frequently with
soap suds made from good soap. Rinse
thoroughly at once.
Hepot occasionally as the pots be-
Kiome full of roots. Feed once in two
to four weeks with dilute nitrate of
soda (a heaping teaspoonful dissolved
in water) or anunonia water or manure
water as described lor the palm or some
prepared plant food.
Oleanders may be treated more or
less as are ]>alnis.
Aspidistras are most ornamental.
They should be kept rati)or drier than
paims and rubber plants.
Cacti require ra'bhor dry sandy soil.

FRENCH REMEDY AIDS
STOMACH SUFFERERS
France has been railed tlie nation

Watson's Orientals
The leading performers of Watson's
Orientals which comes to the Majestic
Friday, matinee and night, include
many of the best known comedians and
vocalists in burlesque, among them
Billy Spencer, who appeared original
ly with Mr. Watson in the character
of Grogam and whose skill as an Irish
character is not excelled by any per
former in burlesque. Krauameyer will
be played by Jules Jacobs, a German
comedian of original and highly enjoy
able methods. Gertrude Somniers is the
leading lady and Bettina Sheldon the
soubretto, while Bert Bertrand, George
H. Thurston, late tenor of Primrose
and Dockstader's minstrels; Ray Le

unusual east. Mr. Watson announces
twenty-five chorus girls of the sprightly

In brief this new Watson show is said

At the Orpheum
While all Harrisburg seems deeply
interest in the Orpbeuni's unique
head liner, Captain Sorcho, the cele
brated submarine engineer and his
deep sea divers, it must be remember
ed that he is supported by an array of
Keith hits that are as clever and di
verting as any bill that has been pre
sented there tlhis season. Not the least
of these attractions is the return of
pretty Dolly Connelly, a positive Or
pheum favorite, who" is here again in
new songs and who is also displaying
a wardrobe that is especially pleasing
the ladies. Whenever Miss Connellv
conies to Harrisburg she can be de
pended upon for bringing some new
and tuneful song hits, and this week is
no exception. Her biggest hit, or
rather her catdhiest song, is "When
You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Rod
Rose." In it she is assisted by Bert
Rule, who acicompaniets her on the
piano for all her songs, but who joins
her iii singing this last number. Their
voices harmonize beautifully and at
the finish they do a little cuddling
scene that sends them off to a big
hand. .Miss Connelly is a pleasing sing
er, a graceful dancer, a magnetic art
ist, and her wardrobe is exquisite.
Comedy honors of the week go to Billy
Watson and company in thir screech

CAUGHT A BALI) EAGLE
Steel Trap on One Leg Caused It to
Drop Exhausted Into Lake
Chicago, Dec. 3. —A big bald eagle
was captured in Highland Park, a north
shore su'bimb.
J. H. Stanley and Michael Laneiolo
were walking along the lake shore,
when their attention was attracted by
some object struggling in the water.
At first they thought it was a man.
Both waded out into the lake to effeet a
rescue and found the cause of all the
commotion to be an eagle.
The bird fought the men and it was
with difficulty they finally took their
captive ashore. Then they discovered
that clinging t<J the left leg of the eagle
was a small steel trap, such as is used
by the farmers in catching rats. Stau
ley and Lancioli took the eagle to the
Hotel Moraine, where a cage was made
for the captive.
It is believed the eagle was lost in a
storm or possibly escaped from some
park or zoo and was caught in the trap
while seeking food.
H. C. Wagner, State game warden
in charge of the First district, says t; at
eagles of this spocies are exceptionally
rare and few are ssen out of captivity
in this section of the country. He spy's
eagles of the Old Al>e species are found

State College, Dee. 3. —More than |
200 farmers and their wives who can- j
not find time to spend four years in j
college came here yesterday to remain '
for twelve weeks as students in the
winter courses in agriculture. They j
are known as s'h|>rt-course students and
will receive instructions from experts :
on the Sta.te College faculty in sub- j
jects helpful to them in practical agri
culture and creamery work. Many of j
those enrolled this year are returning
for th ethird time. The total enrollment j
exceeds that of last year by twenty-1
four.
One of the features is the course in i
home economies, conducted by Miss 1
Pearl MacDonaJd. She will discuss sub- j
jects of special interest to farmers''
wives. Much interest has been shown j
in her talks on home nursing and ejner- j
gencies. Miss MacDonaJd will help 1
lier classes, some containing students
more than 50 years old, to solve prob-1
lems of household administration.
The winter course will continue un- 1
til February 26. One week, December
28 to January 2, has been set aside as)
Farmers' Week. Two thousand are ex-1
pected here for that period.
