In behalf of ftroS^iiB soiiUnrtUft' ufacfUrers whose products have auf fered by European war embargoes were further complicated tonight by receipt at the State department of a message from Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, transmitting ah official report of the German tobacco embargo. His message, dated August 28, follows: "Until further notice Oerrnan gov? ernment has prohibited the importa? tion of tobacco and tobacco products net Including Oriental and similar to? bacco. For consignment shipped to Germany from abroad by mail or rail prior to August 7 and purchased by firms residing In Germany exceptions may bo mtfde. In case of such over sei shipments appropriate certificate from German consul and the placo of shipment la required." Spurred by protests from the Amer? ican tobacco trado against the Entente allies' tobacco embargo, tho State de? partment already has moved to secure concessions for tho American product, and a senate amendment to the emer? gency revenue bill Is designed to re? taliate against *he allies' embcrgo. It Is assumed that the German gov? ernment considers tobacco a luxury for which Us people should not spend, their money. Much American tobacco is reported to have found its way to Germany during the war through l>utch and Scandinavian sources. ' return Home to quarantine. Ii -sldci.ee of Mr. and Mrs. C. F, Wolfe Guarded for Children's Sake. From The Daily Item, Sept. 5. Mr. and Mrs. C, M. Wolfe and two children returned to the city yester? day from New York and the house, 111 West Calhoun street, was at once put under quarantine to prevent any possible danger from Infantile paraly? sis, for while the two children have not been In contact with the disease and were pronounced free of any dan- I ger by the New York officers, still to j make double certain it was deemed best to keep them under quarantine for about two weeks. During that timo the children will not be allowed to leave the house, nor will other children be allowed to enter It. The Board of Health analn an? nounces to tho people of Sumter tint Hiere are no cases of infantile paraly? sis in the city and all reports to the contrary may be disbelieved. Any rases which occur will be at once an nounced In the newHpaper, so that parents will be put on their i.uurd and reports may be disbelieved until such announcement Is made In the papers.

I Every Southern garden should have a supply of turnips, spinach, radishes, onions, lettuce, carrots, cabbage and beets. All of these can be planted in September. "You can raise more vegetables with one dollar spent for, seed, together with a little time work? ing it, than you could go to a store and purchase with fifteen or, twenty times as much money, and they are far better, because they art fresh from the garden, have not beert" picked, packed, and shipped perhaps for several hundred miles to a mar? ket. They are tender and crisp like yo uwant them." All these vegetables) can be easily grown and form valu? able additions to the usual dry, winter jdiet. With more of such food pro? ducts in the diet, there would be less use for spring tonics and other med? icines. Tho ash or mineral matter found In green vegetables, fruits and salads furnish the cell salts which, when united with other foods such as eggs, milk, lean meat and peas, make chemical changes that must be made to keep an even balance on health in the body. These mineral salts are iron, calcuim, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Iron found In spinach, and all greens, dried beans, dried peas, whole wheat lean meat, egg yolk, prunes, raisins, dried figs. \ Calcium found in .milk, cabbage, cauliflower, parsnip, cheese, citrous fruits, celery, dry peas. t Magnesium found In peas, beans, milk, prunes, whole wheat, oatmeal, peanuts, walnut, chocolate. Potassium found in potatoes, par? snip, turnip, cabbage, cocoa, raisins, apples, prunes. s Phosphorus found In meat, milk, dried beans, dried peas, peanuts, egg yolk.' ? The operations of the daily process of body-building may be likened to a brick structure. The bricks and mor? tar represent the proteins, sugars, and fats, organic material, out of which the house is built. The Inor? ganic salts of Iron, lime magnesium, and potash found in green vegetables and fruits represent the brick ma? sons that build the house. The or? ganic materUrMa inactive without the. al<f oTTnorganic or celT-saTls-iaafer^' ial to make the proper chemical changes in the body. * These foods not only furnish nutri? ment foh jthe hones and teeth, the structure of the body, but they aid in keeping the body cleansed. Spinach, lettuce, radish, cabbage, i and cauliflower attain their best de? velopment on a sandy soil well sup? plied with humus or decayed vege? table matter. All of them thrive bes1 during late fall or early spring. Instructions will be sent for pre? paring these vegetables for the table, for canning the surplus spinach and for brining the surplus cauliflower to be used later in mixed pickles. Lettuce. In growing this crop In the open or in hot beds and cold frames, the best results can be secur? ed by sowing the seed in a Well pre? pared bed and transplanting the young plants. Sow the seed thinly in drills 4 to 6 inches apart and cover about 1-2 inch deep. For the best re? sults, transplant tho young plants as soon as they form the first true leaves. Set these plants In a cold fram 2 inches apart each way and as soon as they reach a? height of 1 1-2 to 2 inches, take up the plans with a tvowel or spade and set to the per? manent bed. If planting in the field, set the plans 8 to 10 inches apart in rowa 14 Inches apart each way. Let? tuce seed is sometimes sown in rows In the field and the plans thinned out to r.tand the proper distance. The soil for lettuce should be thor? oughly prepared as very little cultiva? tion can be given when the plans at? tain considerable size. While the plants are small, the soil should be cultivated to keep down weeds and prevent a crust forming. In the frames a hoc or hand weeder can be used, while in the open a wheel hoe can be used to good advantage. There are two general types of let tifctC^kwse leaf and the heading types. Of tVo loose leaf types, the Grand Rapids ami Black Seeded Simpson are among'the best varie? ties,, while the Big Boston is the best variety for market of the head type. For home use tho Hanson or Cali? fornia Cream Buttel- might be sro^n as they are of better quality than the Hin Boston. The markets of the east demand a hard', head lettuce of the BIr Hoston type,\but the markets of the central use injure of the loose leaf lettuce. Unless growing for local market, however, it Is best to grow I the headed type \beeause large quantities of the Otmar kind are grown under glSSS \i\ the centra. States. \ Spinach. Spinach caL lie grown In. the open In all sections along the coast from Norfolk, VK? south and In practically all soctioAs of the low? er tier of southern Buntes. In th ? celdsr regions ef the iovith, this crop atr? folk ??e grown in the open with a lit- , rotectlon or in canvas covered cold frames throughout the winter. The soil should be made fairly rich. Well rotted manure is the best fer-1 til tier but If this is not available, ap? ply* at the rate of 50 to 100 pounds of h grade fertilizer per tenth acre.1 the manure or fertilizer broad- > j and thoroughly harrow it into i 11. Five ounces of seed will j two planting on the plot 20 i are in drills io to 12 inches! apart. Thin the plans out to stand j 3 "or 4 inches apart, i Frequent shal- j ow cultivation by hand or with a' heel hoe should be given. When i In frames, the cultivating must pne by hand. In most sections jf the seuth, however, spinach can be gnrwn in the open without any pro tectijbn as a hard freeze causes very tittle injury. / The variety of spinach most com? monly grown Is the Savoy. At Nor? folk,, Va., the large truckers grow a n of this variety called the Nor Bavoy. Riidish. Radishes should be grown rapilty to insure good table qualities. The' soli should be fertile and contain abundant moisture. Fresh stable ma? nure should not be used however as it Vould produce excessive leaf grovth. Well rotted manure Is the best fertilizer and should bo applied at tlife rate of about 2 tons per tenth acre*. If ho manure is available, ap? ply fat the rate of 100 pounds per tenth acre Of a good grade complete fertilizer. Sow the radish seed in rows 12 inches apart in the field.and cover 1-2 to 1 inch deep, depending upon the soil. On light, dry Soli, cover 1 ln2h deep*~nnd dp heavy moist soil, cover 1-2 inch. When grown in hot beds O! $bld frames the rows of radish need hot be more than 4 to 6 inches apart or just wide enough for hand hoeing and weeding. Tfterd are three types of radishes, turnip-shaped, \ olive-shaped, an I long. Of the turnip-shaped, the best varfeitfes are the Scarlet Globe and Scarlet Turnip. The best of the olive shaped are the French Breakfast and Scarlet. The Charter I*>ng Long. White Spanish ^nd k-ef^he! TdHf type. When protection is needed for growing these crops, a canvas cover? ed frame Will serve the purpose. It however, a glass covered hot bed or cold 'frame Is available or will be leaded for starting other plants, it "nT?lvised to use it. In growing ny of^hese crops in frames, close at? tention must be given to watering and ventilation. It is best to apply water to tflie soli between the rows rather than sprinkling over the plants after they attain considerable size. This is especially to be recommended for let? tuce. For information on construction ? and; management of cold frames, and hot!beds; read letter No. 543. Mary E. Creswell, Assistant In Home Demonstration Work. 4 CHRISTMAS FOR MANNING.

I was very much surprised at tho conditions which I found there, and -also the treatment of t he inmates of that institution. The buildings were in a good, clean and sanitary condition and the peo? ple 'were treated there as well as they would be In many of our homes. I found that the conditions which were there were superior to those pictured by Gov. Manning in his ad? dresses while touring the State, and tako this opportunity of asking al! my friends and the friends of suf? fer! ig humanity to give Gov.

CX)Xi>ITrON OF ~ SUMTER^' Al'ltS HOUSE.' f ' 1 Ollicial Report by State Board or Charities and Corrections. Our score card report on the Sumter county almshouse, based on our"' in? spections and attached hereto, shows a total score of 657 out of a possible 1,000 points, grouped under three main heads: 1. Almshouse: Permanent Features. Under this head 146 out of a pos? sible 200 points are allowed. This score is due to inadequacies in the plant which will not be detailed here. To make the fundamental structural changes in the Sumter almshouse to improve these conditions materially would involve a considerable expendi? ture of public funds. In view of the fact that this board intends to lay be? fore the next general assembly Its plans for district almshouses under which the Sumter almshouse would be consolidated with some other alms houses, we will not urge at present any improvements in the perma fcatures of the establishment. It is believed that the district, almshouse, the creation of which the board in? tends to urge, can be made true hos? pital homes for the aged and Infirm poor, at a minimum cost with a maximum service and equipment. II. Matron's Management of the Almshouse. It is entirely within the hands of tho matron of the almshouse to irl lncrease the score under this head. It will be seen from the score card re? port that we are allowing her 330 out of a posible 400 points for her management of the almshouse. She is to be commended for the methods of occupying and disciplining the paupers she uses, for good conditions in gen? eral in the paupers' houses including the cleanliness of the rooms and their equipment, for the care she takes of sick paupers, and for the hygienic re? quirements she tries to enforce among inmates of the almshouse. To enable the matron to improve her score, we suggest that she (1) Keep a more complete record of the paupers admitted to the aims house which will Include their names, the dates on which they were admit? ted, the race, sex and age of each one of them, whether they were married, single or widowed, and what their physical and mental condition was, also the dates on which they were discharged* and the reaatms- for dis charging them. (2) Have the surface closet clean? ed out regularly once a week and the sewage buried under at least three feet of earth. (3) Have the manure in the stable yard piled daily in a bin and hauled off once a week at least a quarter of a mile from the almshouse. (4) Keep the refuse from the kitchen covered until it is removed, using lime around the kitchen as needed. III. County Commissioners and tho Almshouse. Under the law, the county commis? sioners are the overseers of the poor*. In this, the third head of our score card report, we have graded condi? tions at the almshouse for which the county commissioners are respon? sible. As we said In commenting on the first main section of the score card report, this board intends to urge the formation of district almshouses. In view of this fact, we will not suggest at this time a number of improve? ments and repairs which are needed to bring the present almshouse plant up to standard, contenting ourselves with suggesting only the most press? ing. They are as follows: (1) Screen the exterior doors and windows of the matron's quarters and the paupers' quarters. ' (2) Provide a rubber sheet to be used when needed on the beds of helpless paupers. (3) Have built at the almshouse three fly proof surface closets of the wet type. (4) See that the Inmates of the almshouse are given a light supper. (5) Require the following profes? sional services of the county physician, paying him adequately for providing same: make a physical examination of each pauper within twenty-four hours after admission to the almshouse; vaccinate each new pauper against small pox, unless there is contra-ln dlcatton; visit the paupers weekly, in? specting their quarters and their i'ood. (6) Abolish the fee system for dieting paupers and pay the matron a salary for her services at the alms ! house. Buy the food supplies for the paupers as other supplies are bought for them. (7) Visit the almshouse monthly, either as a whole or by a committee from the board of commissioners: re? quire the matron to make a full re? port quarterly of supplies received, used and on hand, and make at the name time a written request for sup? plies needed during the coming quar? ter; record In the minute book of the board, or elsewhere, a record of the commitment of each pauper to the almshouse.
