Homer Folks, iirealdent of tbe National As sociation for the Study and J'reven tion of Tuberculosis, Is not Impressed with Dr. Friedmann'i tuberculosis cure." He made this fact clear here today In opening tbe convention of the association. "Nothing like the series Of events," laid Folks, "which followed the an nouncement of the Frledmann cure lu Ilerlln has hitherto occurred In the tuberculosis campaign. We all are listening for tbe announcement of a specific remedy for tuberculosis and all undoubtedly will admit, If it comes, it may revolutionize our en tire program. Only those who have been engaged from day to day in In ducing state and local authorities to appropriate funds can appreciate bow vastly more difficult this tank Las been made In the lust few months by the extremely effective press agents of Dr. Frledmann. "Thus far It la not evident to me as a layman that any of those who bave had to do with the Frledmann subject In America have won much credit." WASHINGTON, May 8. Promi nent physicians and surgeons frotn all over the cojntry to the number of several thousand today attended the opening of the annual convention of tho National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu- lnulu rt u'hli'Yi Prilnnnl ThpnrlrirA Koosovelt and Sir William Osier are honorary vice presidents. Tho offi cers of the organization are Homer Folks, president; William n. Ilald wln, treasurer; Dr. Robert H. Uab cock and Dr. Fdward H. Baldwin, vice presidents, and Dr. Henry Rar ton Jacobs, of Ilnltlmoro, secretary. Tlilrty-slx of tho largest cities of the country are represented on the or ganization's board of directors. The Sessions will continue Friday and Saturday. Under the subject, "Treatment of ProRreKslve C'hkch of Tuberculosis," Dr. Mary K. I.nphani, of Highlands. N. C, befuro tho clinical section of the national association declared that the future treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis In Its ndvnncod forms must bo surgical rather than medi cal. "There are two well defined, 'dis tinct classes of pulmonary tubercu losis,", said Pr. I.nphnm. "They nre thoH that recover, innl thosn that from the very sl;ut manifest nn ln ablllty to iirreHt the disease. These proKrofslve cases may improve but they cannot hold what they gain. Aw soon mh this Is recognized, tho fu tility nn() danger of ependinu; alone on good nursing, fresh air, and rest must ho admitted and mimical aid must bo employed." AM F.N l,M 1111,1, NOT mi: ( i: to i:. (Ily John K. Nevln, KlulT Correspon dent of tho I'nlted Press.) WASHINGTON, May 8.- Califor nia's laud bill will not menace 'America's peace. Japan bus accept ed President Wilsons action in send ing Secretary Drynu to Sacramento in tbe spirit wherein the move was made. Japan resuuts California's action, but does not believe the American people will eudor.e the Webb bill. It also does not expect tho measure to be enforced. This was the opinion here today of those closest In tomb, with the altuatlon when thoy learned that a movement was on foot In California to delay enforcement of the Webb Mil until a new treaty with Japau, covering tho main features of the measure, Is negotiated. Secretary Hryan reported person ally to President Wilson today on his California trip. He told tho presi dent that a majority of tho Califor nia legislature believed that an antl alien laud bill had to bo passed. President Wilson was told, It Is re ported, that the administration's friends on the coast are ready to pre vent any embarrassment by forcing a referendum vote on the measure, Hrynn also told tho president, it Is reported, that a situation exists In California which must be met and tho Asiatic aggression lu certain communities must bo checked. Hut tho problem now confronting the administration, It wr.s said, Is how to work It out. It Is understood that Japan Is willing to com edo every thing demanded through a treaty which would preserve national hon or. It Is admitted that it will re quire time to negotiate such a treaty and that enforcement of the Webb law would complicate the situation. Japan has unofficially Intimated that It Is willing to act slowly on the , Webb bill. Its formal protest will 1 I be acknowledged and then Secretary liryan and Japanese Ambassador t'hlnda will begin conferences to de ride the manner wherein court ac tion testing the constitutionality of the bill could be conducted. President Wilson and Secretary Ilryan today discussed at len?th a final message they plan to send to Governor Johnson. THIt I K ItlKTHDU' ANSI- VFUSIIUKS AT ( AI'ITAL. WASHINGTON, May 6.

Plant Gladioluses Every Two Weeki From May to June 1, The iMipularlty of the dahlia has grown with leaps and bounds. It is grown everywhere now and has been improved and made over until there are half a dozen types and hundreds of varieties. Dahlias may be grown from seed with fair prospects of flowers tho first year, but the common practice Is to set out tubers in late May or early June. The ground may well be eu rlehod with a little well rotted stabto manure or with pulverized sheep ma nure -an excellent fertilizer, by the way. which may be Knight In small quantities at the seed stores Gladioluses should go Into the ground every two wevk from the 1st of May until the 1st of July in order to have a steady crop of flowers. They like a rather rich soil, but will grow and bloom satlstac'orily In any garden. When planted l u' effect the plants should stand four to six Inches apart, but when grown for cutting they are better In rows a foot apart, so that they may be cultivated easily. Manure water once a week helps them along. Moutuvtias, handsome flowers resem bling gladioluses, should be grown In masses. Among the uihI varieties are Germnubi. I'.tolie do I'eti and Kayon d'Or. Unlike gladioluses nnd dahlias, tho bulbs do not need to be lifted. With a light covering of leaves the plants will survive tbe winter and continue to bloom year after year. Meyer Ought to Make Good.

How to Bring Your Last Season's Chapeau Up to Date. Last year's hut may do service, at least for such homely excursions as those to the grocer or baker, aud if It la renovated with care and taste It can be made to tit in with the spring season. To begin with, If the hat needs renovating, remove all the old trim- j mlng. Clean tbe hat. If It Is white ' use salts of lemon If It Is colored j brush It thoroughly and then clean It , with a cloth moistened In water or j olive oil. A black hat can be recolored with good liquid shoe blacking. Other j colored hats can be treated to dye, ! made of gasoline colored with oil paint, ' applied with a short, stiff bristled i brush. j When an old wing Is to be used and ' It has lost Its original shape or a new I shape Is wished make a wire loop of ' strong, round milliner's wire nnd i fasten It securely with twist tbe color of the feather on the under side of the wing. Sew the bottom of the wing nnd the stem of the loop so that i there will be no possibility of coming; apart. Fasten the upper part of the j wing to tbe wire as neatly as possible j so that the stitches do not show on the j right side of the feathers. The whig ( can then be bent to any shape wanted. ! An ostrich feather can be shaped to answer this year's requirements if R piece of fine, strong wire Is button holed to the quill on the under side1 with silk thread matching the feather. Cut the wire off several inches from the tip of the feather, as this should fall softly nnd naturally. Sew the wire (Irmly at the bottom of the quill, fasten securely to the hat and tbe feather will stay in position Old flowers can be! freshened greatly If each petal and leaf Is straightened and pressed In shape They can be cleaned with ' gasoline nnd after they nre dry tinted with water color paints. 1 !

The long or "bopping" legs must be pulled off and the locust held by a wing and dipped Into salt before it Is eaten. As to flavor, the Insect la said to taste like green wheat. The red locust Is more palatable than the green kind. Some say that the fe male Is red and the' male green, but others contend that all are green at first, whatever the sex. Locusts must be caught In the morn ing, for then they are benumbed by the cold and their wings are damp with the dew, so that they cannot fly. i They may be found In Arabia cluster ed In hundreds under the desert bush es, and they can be literally shoveled Into a bag or basket.
