EASILY GROWN VEGETABLES
FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS.
Washington. I). C March 19 Rad-
ishes lettuce beans beets and toma-
toes are all comparatively easily-
grown vegetables which give satis-
factory returns In the spring garden.
The V. 8. department of agriculture's
1-pecialint recommends these particu-
larly for use In school gardens which
are run for the benefit of the children.
Not only teachers but others desiring
to raise these truck crops In their
own home gardens may benefit from
these suggestions:
Radishes Radishes are very hardy
plants and thrive best during the cool
weather of early spring and late
autumn. In the south they ran best be
grown during the winter and early
spring months. The seeds should be
sown In drills. In rich well-prepared
soil placed about half an inch apart
and buried not deeper than one Inch
nor less than one-half Inch. When the
plants are showing the second set of
true leaves they should be thinned to
stand from 2 to 3 inches apart in the
row.
Lettuce Lettuce Is a hardy plant
and thrives best during early spring
and late autumn. The seeds should be
sown in drills in the open or in boxes
In the window. If in the open the
seeds should be scattered about one-
half inch apart along the row and
.covered not more than one-half Inch
with i-arth. Firm the earth well over
the seeds so as to bring the moist
soil In contact withthem. When the
plants are well up thin to 6 Inch
apart In the row. If the seeds were
sown In a window box hotbed frame
or greenhouse transplant the young
plants to stand 2 by 2 Inches apnrt as
soon as the seed leaves are well ex-
panded and when they begin to crowd

transfer them to their permanent
places in the open if the weather will
permit. In the field they should stand
at least 6 inches apart each way.
Beans Heans are tender plants
They can not endure frost and will
not stand tranfplanting well. It ts
best to wait and plant the seeds of
this plant in the open where the
plants are to grow delaying the work
until severe frosts are past. I'lant in
rows 1 foot apart placing the seeds
about 2 inches deep at Intervals of
6 inches. Keep the soil loose and free
from weeds.
Beets Heet while they are hardy
and can be planted at the same time
as radishes and lettuce require a
longer season for maturing. The seeds
should be planted In rows 1 foot
apart placed an Inch apart in the
row and covered 1 inch deep. When
tlie plants are well up (2 Inches high)
thin to 4 inches apart In the row. Keep
the soil well tilled at all times.
Tomatoes The tomato Is the most
exacting of all the plants Included in
the collection. From Washington
southward the seeds may be planted
in the open at the same time as beans
but to the north of this point the
seeds should be sown in boxes hot-
beds or greenhouses from the first to
the middle of March the young plants
being transplanted to stand 2 by 2
Inches apart as soon as the first true
leaves appear. When they begin to
crowd in their new positions shift
them to 4 inch pots or to cans such
as are used by canners of tomatoes
and keep them growing slowly until
about May 20 to Junel when It will
be safe to place them In their per-
manent locations In the garden. Set
the plants In rows 18 inches apart
and place the plants about 20 inches
apart in the rows. Kacli plant as it
grows should have all side branches
removed and the main ste mtied to
a stout stake about .1 feet tall and at
least an inch square driven firmly
In the ground.

WRITE SFEAHS
OF HIS FATE
LETTER FROM MEXiCO REACHED
WASHINGTON JUST AS NEWS
OF HIS DEATH DID SUGGESTS
WILSON VISIT MEXICO.
That John B. McManus and the
members of his family expected the
fate which overtook him in Mexico
City death at the hands of Zapata
bandits was revealed yesterday by
a letter written to her mother in
this city by Mrs. McManus. By an
odd coincid-nce this letter written
on February' 1. reached The Tribune
on the day the news and manner of
the murder of McManus were trans-
mitted to the state department at
Washington by the Brazilian minister
in Mexico City.
One paragraph of Mrs. McManus's
letter reads:
"I would like to make Wilson live
In the St. Krancis hotel for a week
with these people. I think that his
New England! soul would love all
those officers with their harems
and by the way some of the women
are American prostitutes. Each of-
ficer has from one to five women with
him according to his )osition and
propensity for graft. And then the
hotel is s.'ich a delightful plae" and
in such a nice condition especially
Just now as there Is little water.
There iHn't anything to eat but cof-
fee (without milk) filette and fri-
Joles. Once in a while they may
favor him with a pauva.so (bran
bread.) but he likes a simple diet.'
Then we would change all his money
for him into these nice paper bills
at the rate of IT cents on the dol-
lar and let him go out in search of
Brape Juice."
Expected Husband's Death.
The opening paragraph of Mrs.
McManus's letter expressed her f-'ar
for her husband's safety.
"Last night" she wrote "I became
so uneasy as to what might happen
to my husband who remained at our
house after we left to look out for
it that I went to see him. You know
that not long ago a big crowd of
robbers were trying to loot our place
when he shot into them and Is said
to have wounded one; so I fear a
crowd of desperat? peons are down
on him and I live in a nightmare
lest some of their accommodating
friends will try to stick a knife Into
him."
The letter continued:
"Iast night every body expected th
Carranzistas to leave the city again
and the Zapatistas to come in. When
one crowd is going out and the other
coming in there is always the devil
to pay for each steals nil they can
lay hands on.
"The conditions in Mexico City are
unbelievable. The Zapatistas are all
around the city and have done ev-
erything that the Carranzistas could
not accomplish to make us uncom-
fortable. They have dammed up the
Viga canal so that the farmers can
not brin.i? In vegetables or fodder
froni Xochimilco and as the city
sewers are flushed with the water of
the Viga things ar becoming pretty
odoriferous. They have also cut the
water supply from Xoehlmilco so
that people who have no wells get
only an hour's supply of water daily
in consequence of which we fear an
epidemic of contagious diseases. They
make raids constantly on the near-
est suburbs such as San Angel Mex-
coac. San Pedro and all the small
towns along the Viga so that the
storekeepers In these places nver
know when they are going to lose
their entire stock and several of
them have tx-en killed for remon-
strating. They will not allow any
charcoal to come Into the city so
that many of the ioor people are un-
able to get fuel and they have chop ped
down every pole of the street
car line which runs along the Visa
and burned them up. Well so much
j for the Zapatistas; now for tho Car-
ranzistas: j Supplies Slvppea from Citv.
"You have probably heard that we
are bring deluged with supplies and
j there Is now no farther danger of a
food famine. The actual fa-Ss are
' that we. have received beer. oi. which
! the officers received a biff coTirpis-
J sion and gasoline a few bananas
which are so expensive that no one
J can buy them and a few fancy gro-
j certes. Not only this bu" Tarran-
i r.ista8 have shipped out of the city
large 'quantities of the necrsUIs
I such as flour sugar and con and
have confiscated the supplies which
the grocers had wisely laid
! "They have again robbed I'.isario
Dairy of all its new mules anl horses
and heavy wagons. This Is the sec
ond time. They are taking fron ail
sources there dally supplies o' fod-
der so large that there Kjrelv
enough left for the citizens' s:cc
and all are afraid that heir siocl:
will starve Put in fact CM is
what v. ill happen to all of us human
Ni: :gs in another month or two if
rllf does not come from somewhere.
Their last act was the crowning one
RLd caused a riot among the poor.
Thev feclared the Villastas' bills in-
valid and the town was full of them.
The Bank of Londres alone had about
$l0.f'00 on deposit. We live in
daily anticipation of an uprising of
the ieople and all wish It would
come as It might help some. The
stores in the city are hardly ever
open and even when they do open
they close at the slightest alarm.
"You may not realize it but I have
had another birthday and sirange to
say. in the midst of all our trouble
my husband remembered it. The
X s gave me a book which I had
been crazy for and had the S s
and J s out to dinner. They
brought all their kids with them
for people are not around much these
times without the whole family as
they fear among other things the
kidnaping of children. My poor
husband cannot leave our house to
go to any of these simple pleasures
as they would steal every brick on
the place if he left for fifteen min-
utes and as for me I simply must
go to keep from thinking. Lovingly
"RUTH."
Mr. McManus was born in Chicago
some thirty-eight years ago and
has been a resident of Mexico for
fifteen years where because of his
business relations with large enter-
prises he has been a prominent
member of the Amt-rican colony.
Eight years ago he married Miss
Ruth Wood a native of Denver who
received her finishing education in
the schools of New York and after-
ward accompanied her parents to
Mexico where they were in business
in Guanjuato. He left a family of
four children the oldest of whom a
boy is about seven years old.
While retaining his connection with
the companies he represented he
entered the dairy busness n the su-
burbs of Mexico City and was one
of the first to furnish purs pasteur-
ized milk to the American colony.
Since the overthrow of Huerta his
dairy (where he lived) located in
the suburban division of Mexico City
lenown as San Pedro de hfios Pinas
was In a more or less exposed posi-
tion and was always in greater or
less danger of raids from the fol-
lowers of the different "generals"
as well as from roving bandits.
McManus succeeded in defending
his home though at the time of the
evacuation of the city by the Zapat-
istas a mob of whom attempted to
raid and loot his place. In defense
he fired into this crowd wounding
two of Its members.
At the time that the United States
government ordered the Americans
to leave Mexico many Americans
McManus among them decided that

all of his property interests tied up
in enterprises In Mexico City and
for him to have left would have been
to abandon the earnings of a lifetime

too many Americans did. He strong-

and return to the I'nited States but
she decided her place was with him.
Take a gla of Salts if your back
hurts or Bladder Troubles
You.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally says
a well known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys
they become overworked from the
strain get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism headaches liver trouble ner-
vousness dizziness sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts or
it the urine Is cloudy offensive tull
of sediment Irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast and
in a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon Juice
combined with iithia and has been
used for generations to flush and
neutralize the kidneys also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes Irritation thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive and can
not injure; make a delightful altar-
vescent lithia-water drink which ev-
eryone should take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.
