Nasturtium. Petunia, California Poppy and Zinnia to the Housewife Who Is Interested Washington, March 16. —Many peo ple at this season of the year are con sidering what flowering plants the} shall put in their gardens. The aver age housewife, who has not much time to spare OD the matter, the child 'who it- just becoming interested in growing plant?, and the teacher who is lading out a school garden for the benefit of her pupils will undoubtedly welcome some simple suggestions alo>>£ th' B ''" e - The United States Department of Agriculture's specialist particularly recommends as satisfactory and easily grown flowers, the .ngeratum, the nas turtium.. the petunia, the California 'poppy, and the zinnia. Here are a few pointers on each of them: One of the Few Blue Flowers The ageratunyis one of the few blue flowers we have. In its form it some what resembles the heliotrope but has no odor. Ageratums grow well upon al most all soi!t< and through a wide range of climate. For that reason many com binations with them are possible. The plants are neat, bushy, and erect. a»d produce a profusion of brush-like flow ers throughout the season. The dwarf blue sorts make tine borders and are •much used where contrasting color ef fects are desired. For early "bloom the aeed should be sown in cold frames or in boxes in the house early in the sea son (Marchl, but for summer and fall bloom the seeds may be sown in April or early in May iu well-prepared beds in the open. Seeds sown •»* August will produce good plaints for winter flower ing. Planting of Nasturtium The large seeds of the nasturtium require to be planted much deeper than the tine seeds of the petunia. Sow them in rows where the plants are to grow, placiiw the seeds about six inches apart in the row and cover them atout an inch deep. When all plants are up, thin so that they staaid a foot if thev soil is rich; if rather thin, it will be as well to allow them to stand at the plainting distance. The plants should be given clean culti vation to induce rapid growth. If plauted in the open at the same time that beans are planted, verv satisfac tory results will follow. For earlier 'bloom plant in advaince of this date in hotbede. cold frames or window boxes. Growing of the Petunia While the petuuia grows rea iily and rapidly from seeds sown in the open about corn planting time, earlier bloom can be secured by sowing the seed in window boxes or hotbeds and trams planting the plants once before placing them in the open. For localities north of New York the most satisfactory ; method of handling these plants will be to start the seeds in window boxes about April 1, and to transfer the voting plants to the open when the : weather permits—about the middle of May. The seeds are very small and | should not be covered with earth in ' I the ordinary way. They sjiould be sown on the surface and brought in contact j with the earth by firming it with a board. California Poppy The esi-hscholtzia is an annual of ' ; *trikiu>4 character both as regards the - form and color of its flower*, which ' are bright and rich in their tints of l yellow and orange. The plants average i about a foot in height, have attractive silvery foliage, and produce their large ; poppv-like flowers quite lavishly from 1 early spring until frost. The seeds of ewehseholtzia may be sown in window boxes or in a hotbed in March, or in the open where the plants are to bloom ' as soon as the soil is in lit condition, in April or May in the latitude of New ; York. In latitudes south of Xew York ! the seeds may be sown in the autumn ! for early bloom. The plants enjoy a i rich loam and should be allowed about five or six inches of t»pace in the row. When used in beds they may be sown broadcast. Zinnia Easily Grown The zinnia is easily grown from seed sown in the open ground. When sown ! in April {he plants will bloom abund- j antly and continuously through the en tire season. During the month of ' August zinnias are at their best. To secure large flowers and a profusion of bloom the plants must be given ample room and a full development, as well »s an abundant supply of food. Strong, rich soils suit the zinnia. If the seeds ire sown in a dwelling house or in a lotbed in March.aind the young plants ire pricked out once or twice before icing placed in their permanent situa ions, more satisfactory results will be •cured than from outdoor-sown seeds I inless equal care in thinning or trans- j Wanting is given. lin addition to their ise in the school garden, zinnias can >e used for groups, beds, borders, gar len lines, and summer hediges. Their average height is 1 1-2 feet. The zin- \ lia is a rather large, formal flower rhose colors range through the shades if red and yellow. Their season of i doom is through the late summer and I utumn and the individual bloom lasts or a long time both on the plant and s cost flowers.

FULLY FUSSED Senate Approves Plan to Submit Question to the Voter, By 37 Yeas to 11 Nays WOMEN OF BOTH SIDES ON HAND They Pin Roses or Jonquils on the Coats of the Salons and Applaud Fre quently as the Roll Is Being (felled —Beidleman With the Antis The strenuous suffrage war which has been waged for the last four years came to an end, so far as the legisla ture is concerned, last night in the Sen ate when that body passed the resolu tion to submit to the people nt the polls iu November the question of whether women shall vote. The mat ter will come before the people in the form of a constitutional amendment. The bill to submit it to the people was passed by both branches of the legisla ture two years ago, but the constitution requires that it pass two successive Legislatures before it can be voted on at the polls* This year it was intro duced in the House by Mr. Wilson, of Philadelphia, and passed that body iby 130 to 70. and last night in the Senate it passed bv 37 yeas to 11 nays, a greater majority than its friends ex pected. The Senate chamber was crowded with visitors last night. It was gen erally agreed that the suffrage women would win and they were present in great numbers, occupying the space on the floor of the Senate to the left of the presiding officer. All wore yellow jonquils and they Cjjrriei hundreds of the flowers with them with which they decorated Senators and others favoring their cause. The advocates of suffrage were head ed by Mrs. Frank Roessing, of Pitts burgh, State president; Miss Hannah Patterson; president of the Woman Suf frage League, and Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, of Harrisburg, presideut of the Central Pennsylvania Woman's Suffrage Association. With them were delega tions from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Ijanvaster, Wilkes-Barre. Lewisburg, Selinsgrove, Williamsport and York. The Antis Largely Represented The anti-suffragists were led by Mrs. Horace Brock, of Lebanon, president of the State Association of Antis; Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt, vice president; Mrs. John B. Heron, Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Eliza D. Armstrong, Pittsburgh. With them were delegations from Philadel phia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, West Chester, Bryn Mawr and Mechanics burg. The antis wore pink roses and pinned similar flowers on their friends, and Lieutenant Governor McClain, who was a neutral and wore both rose and jonquil. The suffrage amendment measure was near the head of the calendar, and was soon reached iu the regular order of business. When the Lieutenant Gover nor has put the question: "Will the Senate agree to the bill on final pas sage!'' Senator Crow, of Fayette, chairman of the Republican State Com mittee, arose and urged the passage of the measure as a means of keeping the pledges of the party platform. The Re publican party had embodied the pledge in its platform, and legislators had been elected on that platform, and ho called upon them to support it. I ''They are not, however," he said, ••obligated to support this measure at I the polls, but at present it is a question whether a party platform deliberately made shall be deliberately kept." Loud applause greeted the Fayette Senator's i declaration. Beidleman Against Measure Senator E. E. Beidleman, of Harris burg, who two years ago made a speech against the measure, was the principal speaker against it last night. He nie clared that he voiced the sentiments of his constituents who are almost unani mously opposed to woman suffrage, and this, he said, he found to be the case wherever he had made inquiry. He de nied that Senators elected last fall are obligated to stand by the party plat form because that platform had not been adopted until long after they were nominated. This question, he held, was LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IT SICK CROMERISH When Constipated or Bilious Give "Cali fornia Syrup of Figs" Look at the tongue, mother! If coat ed, it is a sure sign that your little one's stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once. When peevish, cross, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act nat urally, or is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, • diarrheoa, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless "fruit laxative;" they love its delicious taste, and it al ways makes them feel splendid. Ask vour druggist for a 50-cent bot tle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt.—Adv. HARRTSBUHG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1915. French Remedy for Stomach Troubles The leading doctors of France have for years used a prescription of vege table oils for chromic stomach trouble and constipation that -acts like a charm. One dose will convince. Severe* cases of rears' standing are often greatly benefited within 24 hours. So many people are getting surprising results that we feel all persons suffering from constipation, lower bowel, liver and stomach troubles should try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. It is sold by lead iug druggists everywhere with the posi tive understanding that your money will be refunded without question or quibble if ONE bottle fails to give you absolute satisfaction. J' being submitted to a people who would oppose and defeat it. Senator Martiu, of Cumberland, held that it was not only a party obligation to support this measure, but it is a right due to the women of the State. Senator Thompson, of Beaver, ou be half of the mothers, wives and sisters of the State, opposed the bill, and said he had "examined his conscience" on this matter. The roll was called, the only inter ruption being an outburst of laughter whea "Sunny Jim" McNichol voted "No" in a loud voice. The resolution passed by 37 yeas to 11 nays. Great applause greeted the announce ment of the vote, and some of the suf "antis*' seemed inihignant and charged "antis" semed indignant and charged that some of the Senators who wore their pink roses voted against them. Others of the "antis," however, are satisfied that the voters of the State as a whole are to dectd* the question. The vote was as follows: For Suffrage—Clark, vrott, Crow. Daix, Kndsley, Farley, draff. Gyger, Hilton, Hindman. Hoke. Homsher, Jen kins. Kurtz, Lynch Magee, Martin, Me- Connell, McKee, Miller, Moore, Patton, Phippe, Salus, Schantz. Semmens, Sen senich, B. E. Smith, W. W. Smith, O. A. Snyder, P. W. Snyder, Sproal, Stewart, Tompkins, Vare, Warner and Wasbers. Total, 37. Against Suffrage—Beidleman, Buck man, Burke, Catlin, PeWitt, Genberich, Hackett, Kline. McNichol, Sones, Thompson. Total, 11. The measure now goes before the peuple at the general election in No vember for their adoption or rejection. Both friends and foes in the Senate last night said they intend to carry the tight into every county in the State and even into every township, and the indi cations are that the most picturesque political contest ever waged in Penn sylvania is about to start at once. CIBBONY LOCATOPTION ON COMPENSATION PLAN Measure Prepared by President of the Law and Order Society of Philadel phia Is Introduced in House— Williams Bill Is Attacked The Gibbony local option bill, em bodying the compensation plan, was in troduced in the House last night by Assemblyman W. W. Jones, of Lacka wanna. Tiic bi'l was drown by D. Clarence Gibbony, president of the Law and Order Society of Philadelphia. Under his bill, elections by eounties on the three-year limit plan are provid ed. When a county goes "dry," how ever, no existing license can be re voked without the licensee being com pensated by the county. The funds for compensation are to come out of the liquor license money. Gibbony gave out a statement defining the provi sions of his bill, in whi«h he said: "This bill is a local option measure for the solution of the liquor problem in Pennsylvania by county units. It is a far more equitable and effective pro posal than that contained in the Wil liams local option bill, and it is the only self-cxtingaishing plan for the abolition of the liquor traffic that has been placed before the Legislature of Pennsylvania. " What this act proposes is to provide a method by which the liquor business can be abolished by counties on a ma jority vote of the electorate, and under which methotl the men who engaged in the legalized liquor business shall he re imbursed for losses sustained in being forced out of that business. Attacks Williams Bill "That is the principal difference between this iiill and the Williams lo cal option bill. The latter makes no provisions whatever for compensation, anil the pian of abolition it proposes is nothing less than confiscation of prap erty legally acquired and iegallv held by men engaged in a legalized business. "This bill provides that no new or additional licenses shall be granted iu any county that has voted to abolish the liquor business, and, on the other hand, that no licenses that were in force at the time such election was celd shall be revoked or their renewal re fused. except for malfeasance of the licensees, until such lienses have been compensated for on a basis provided iu the measure. In the absence of auy such election directing prohibition, this bill makes it illegal for any court of quarter sessions to revoke or refuse to renew any existing license, except for proven violation of the law, and when a license is revoked or terminated for such cause the court shall file or re cord its reasons for such action. "This bill also provides that after its passage the number of liquor li censes in cities of the first and second class shall not be more than one for each 1,000 inhabitants, and in cities of the third class shall not exceed one for each 500 inhabitants. The courts shall make the necessary reduction in number of licenses upon the payment of com pensation, as provided for." In Law and Order Committee The 'bill was sent to the House Law and Order Committee. This committee stood by Governor Brumbaugh by vot ing 13 to 11 to withhold the report of the administration local option bill po til some of the other legislation Vas disposed of. Falls to Amend Advertising BUI The iHabgood bill for the payment to publishers of the bills for advertis ing the constitutional amendments from 1912 to 1914 was up in the Sen ate last night and Senator Hilton sought to amend it by increasing the appropriation so as to* pay for the ad vertising in 190'8-9-10-11, the bills to be submitted to a commission of five publishers appointed by the Governor, and the State Treasurer, Auditor Gen eral and Secretary of the Common wealth. The Senate rejected the amend ment and the bill passed &cond read- I ing. AUSTRIAKS CONTINUE VAIN ATTEMPTS FOR TIE RELIEF OF PRZEMYSL, IS REPORT Petrograd, Via London, March IS, 8.13 A. M.—The following official dis patch has been received from Oiaoweti: "The enemy has brought some of his batteries closer to the fortress because of their obvious inffeetiveness at the longer range. The earl of the fortress effectively shelled a column of the ene my, consisting of motors draiHng artil lery, provisions and ammunition. '' Fighting at moderate distances con tinued throughout Sunday and Monday, with the advantage constantly with the defenders. Two German companies en deavored to approach the frozen river Bobr, but retired after being Ahelled from a' distance of a mile. Close te Ossewetz our scouts carried some of the enemy's positions and at nightfall tent prisoners back into the fortress." Official raports from other fronts fol low: German Attacks at Prcaanyu "Przasnysz: The Hermans con tinue a violent artillery fy-e. but their infantry is unable to resist our attacks. We are holding the enemy on almost the entire front, with particular suc cess in the wooded sectors bordering on the river Orzyo. "Bzura region: The enemy is ac tive at night, possibly reinforced- in his artillery. "The Carpathians: Conditions are extremely difficult for au offensive. Owing to the deep snow, troops can be moved only slowly. The men u.srd beaten paths, moving in Indian file, which involves heavy losses. Troops oo both sides are using skiis.

ALLIESTO ENFORCE DECREE WITHOUT RISK TO NEUTRALS Paris, March 16, 12.30 A. M.—The text of the decree defining the meas uies decided upon by the British and French governments as reprisals against German commerce, already announced from London, is published in the "Of ficial Gazette." The text is preceded by n report to President Poincare signed by Foreign Minister Delcasso, Minister of Finance Kibot, .Minister of War Millerand and Minister of Marine Augagneun. \This supplementary statement de clares that since Germany lias pro claimed the seas around England and France a war zone the alli?s have a right to reply by stopping all merchan dise to or from Germany. "Neverthe less," the re-port says, the allied gov ernments have no intention of follow ing their enemy in his cruel and bar barous met'hods and the measures to which they have 'been obliged to have recourse do not involve i\uy risk for neutral ships or for the lives of no.u trals or non-eonrbntants. They will be applied in strict conformance with the dictates of humanity."
