tail for Europe, declared today that Home of the consignees in Holland had been forced into bankruptcy and many people were actually starving, while waiting assurances from the British government that the ships would be given safe conducts. ' It was estimated that between thirty and forty Dutch steamers of 10,000 to

12,500 tons were tied up in Atlantic ports. Although the shippers declared that; the delay was serious, as many people i in Holland had consumed their sup-1

the most reliable information the

Dutch people are not in danger of

starving as has been stated. He also said the question of permitling foodstuffs and grain to be sent to Holland was most serious, considering the reports that some merchants of that country were smuggling all pvallabtn supplies into Germany to profit by the high prices. The shippers were said to be particularly anxious for their consignmints to leave American ports before July 15. when America's embargo on foodstuffs goes into effect.

Barleycorn Buyers Face Big Advance

NEW YORK, July 10. The central committee of the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association of New York county met this afternoon and it was expected that action would be taken to regulate the price of mixed and Imported drinks. The move was taken, It was 'said, following the advance in price yesterday of nearly all mixed drinks sold in uptown cafes and saloons. Cafe proprietors explained tho advance in the. price of mixed drinks had become necessary because . the agitation in congress over the prohibition issue had stirred both wholesale and retail consumers of liquor into a "frenzy of buying, with an immediate effect on prices. Drinks which have formerly cost 15 cents were advanced to 20 cents in many places uptown yesterday.

Add a green tie and a sleeveless green sweater to this, and a white linen frock, and you are bound to look like Summer-time incarnate.

To emphasize its complete Frenchiness, the hat takes unto itself a mauve parasol with two roses, one old blue and one cerise, nestling against the bow which decks the cream white handle.

Ga rden Question Corner

Editor's note E. F. Murphy, civic gardener, will answer all questions about your garden in The Palladium; write to him.

Mr. E. F. Murphy, Civic Gardener, Care of Palladium. The lower leaves on my tomato plants are dying and there are small brown spots on them. I notice some green and some brown plant lice on the leaves. Are these insects the cause of the leaves dying and can you tell me what to do to exterminate them? K. D. W. Answer: The plant lice are not causing the leaves to die. Tomato leaf spot is a fungus disease which causes these lower leaves to have small brown spots and die. Later in the season more of the leaves will die, the disease progressing upward on the plant, and the plant will become so weakened that the fruit on the lower portion of the plant will become ex

posed to the sun and Bunscald, while the fruit on the upper portion will fail to develop properly. .The disease is controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture at intervals of about two weeks until the close of the picking season. The plant lice may be killed by using one teaspoonful of "Black Leaf 40" in one quart of water as a contact spray.

Mr. E. F. Murphy, Civic Gardener, Care of Palladium. Is it necessary to stake tomatoes up? Y. W. B. Answer: Staking Is. not a necessity, but it has its advantages: Fruits ripen more readily during a cool season if the vines are staked up than they would if allowed to lay on the ground ; they are less apt to rot during wet weather; and if the rows are far apart, they may be cultivated.

Mr. E. F. Murphy, Civic Gardener,

Care of Palladium. What will kill the little black bugs which eat the leaves of eggplant? H. D. Z. Answer: A small black fleat beetle usually attacks the eggplant from the time it is set into the garden until frost. Sometimes they eat small round holes in the leaves, and sometimes they cut the midrib of the leaf and thus do a great deal of damage. These insects may be controlled by

repeated applications of Bordeaux mix ture containing Paris green. ' Mr. E. F. Murphy, Civic Gardener, Care of Palladium.

What will destroy the striped bugs

on melon vines? C. V. G.

Answer: They may be killed by Bordeaux mixture containing Paris Green. These striped beetles may be

repelled by the application of a material offensive to their sense of smell. A good method is to dust the plants

with ashes to which a tablespoonful of

Care of Palladium. Is it too late to plant string beans, peas, or beets? B. A. W. Answer: These mature for use in about six or eight weeks, depending of course, on the soil, and aside from a drought which is likely to occur during August, there would be no objections to planting them now as they will mature before frost.

Just think! You can-lift off any corn or callus without one twinge of pain. A Cincinnati man discovered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bottle of freezone for very little cost. You apply a few. drops directly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonderful. It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the skin. . Hard corns, soft corns, or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or afterwards. No soreness or smarting.

Women should keep a tiny bottle on the dresser and never let a corn ache twice. Adv.
