A ADISREPUTABLE PRACTICE

which the people Of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them limitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation = and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and. the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator-which is the "King Of
Liver Medicines" because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get

Whenever o house that has stood

there are many cries that ''our fore
fathers build better than we. 1t is
undoubtedly fact that there was
greater honesty of construction in the
old days than at present, and that the
materials used were generally better.
The mortar in the old buildings is so
hard that it seems almost part OF the
stone or brick; it was not made with
o plenitude of sand, q modicum Of

under wet weather as does the modern

the Energy Tw" Cyclists Expended.
Perhaps nc mai who rides a bicycle
has failed to ask himself questions as to
the amount CT power exerted in hill

Of experiments for the purpose Of an
swering these questions. The hill Sc

uniform grade Of about AZ feet in 100.
The riders We're two. One was nee
prominent on the track and is yet a
"scorcher." With his wheel his weight
was 1S4H pounds. The other man is
much older and heavier, weighing, with
his wheel, 23OA pounds.
The total resistance Of wheel, air and
road surface was determined by careful
coasting tests, the actual time of coast
ing a measured distance being compared
with the theoretical time which would
be required if all rcsistances We're elm
hill twice, once at what he considered
his ordinary pace in riding for pleasure
and once at his best speed. Computation
then showed that the lighter man had
developed a little less than one-third of
a horsepower at his ordinary speed and
a very little less than one-half Il horse
power as a maximum. The results for
the heavyweight We're three-eighths of
a horsepower and eleven-twentieths of
a horsepower. The simplest definition

ne Sure to Apply the Water TO the Roots
and Not the Leaves.
IL may be necessary to water the
vegetable plants before the end of the
season, but avoid 1t as long as possible.
One watering makes n second one
necessary, and II must be continued
until the necessity ceases If the
plants ARE well advanced or full grown
generous supply of water twice n
week is better than n sprinlSling every
day. Do not use cold water on the
plants. Fill barrel full Of water and
let il stand In the sun day or two,
and IL will then be about the right
temperature. Apply the water TO the
roots and not ON the leaves.
A good plan Is to follow tho water
ing pot with the hoe, throwing little
dry soil around the plants This will
prevent the surface from crusting over
and the soil will keep moist much
longer.
Young vegetable plants should be
watered every evening II the weather
Is dry, until the roots get n strong hold
of the soil. The watering should be
carefully done. Aim 20 keep n moist
