Plant-Bed Cloth Versus Glass.


A. A. Halliday of Vermont writes;
tomato plants, I have found the use
of plant-bed cloth for covering hot
beds better than glass on many ac-
counts. l use it almost wholly on my
beds and like it very much. can
grow harder and better plants under
cloth than under glass, the beds do
not dry out and need watering as
often, there is no danger of burning
the plants and the screens do not have
to be taken off during the day. If
there is likely to be cold night, put
have saved all my plants from hard
freeze when my neighbors, who used
glass, lost nearly all theirs) by put
ting thick heavy paper between two
thicknesses of screens.
Make the screen frames the same
size as hotbed sash, using pine or
spruce one inch thick and two inches
wide. Plane them smooth, saw the
ends square and nail with clinch nails
at the corners. Then cut the cloth
the proper length and tack to frame.
4o maho u SoOu JOD OF tnlS, lay the
frame on table or bench, lay the
cloth on the frame and begin to tack
at the centre OF each side of the cloth.
Measure and be sure to start at the
middle of both cloth and frame, then
it will come out right at the corners
Put the tacks every three inches and
work toward the corners, keeping
each side up about even. In this
manner you finish at the corners with
no wrinkles in the cloth. The edges
of cloth should be turned under so as
to make double thickness to tack
through.
These screens, if properly dried and
cared for, will last many years and
are very useful for covering plants in
the fall to keep from the frosts and
also for shading glass. use the
medium grade, which costs by the
piece from seven to eight cents per
yard. These screens will be found
especially valuable in the south for
shading plants.

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart

Poor digestion often causes irregular
ity Of the hearts action. This irregu-
larity may BE- mistaken for real, organic
heart disease. The symptoms are much
the same. There is however . vast
difference between the two: organic
heart disease is often incurable; ap-
parent heart disease 10 durable II good
digestion be restored.
A case in point Is quoted from the
New Era, of 0reensburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Viewpoint, Ind, q
woman 43 years old, had suffered for
four years with distressing stomach
trouble. The gases generated by the
indigestion pressed on the heart, and
caused an irreguIarity of it's action.
She had much pain In her stomach and
heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried In
vain; the patient became worse, de-
-uondent. and feared impending death.

NAVY WILL TAKE PART

sampaonss rlses ordered - Porto Rico
70 Cover the Landings.
Washington. July 81. Admiral
Sampson has received final orders from
tho navy department as to the part the
American feet Is to take In the CAM
paien against Porto Rico. They are
based on the belief that the campaign
is essentially an army one. the duties
Of the navy being to lend every support
and assistance to the land operations.
The admiral is instructed to. aid the
army movements by dispatching con-
VOWS when required and by covering
the landing Of troops.
As there is no Spanish feet in San
Juan harbor or other Porto Rican
ports, the navy has limited field OF
operation. The reduction of the har-
Dor Notifications will be the main
work. but this and all other operations
Of the feet will be supplementary to
the main operations conducted by the
army. The strategists, military and
naval, are agreed in the view that the
taking of Porto Rico is primarily mil
itary undertaking, and Admiral Samp-
sons orders are on these lines.
The navy department is rapidly NOV,
ing the large feet Of auxiliary craft,
made up OF merchant ships. large
ocean-going yachts. tugs, etc., from
Atlantic coast points to Cuban waters.
where they will be placed In blockade
duty. thus releasing the larger ships for
more active duty at Porto Rico and the
coast of Spain. Three Of these smaller
craft were cent south today. and most
ali Of them will be on the way within q
week, stopping only long enough at
Norfolk to have their batteries strength
ened.
When the war broke out large num-
Der of these auxiliary craft were pu.
chased. They have been distributed
along the coast from Maine to Florida,
at some 40 or more ports. making an
effective coast patrol. There is felt to
be no further use for this patrol, SO
with the exception of few important
points, the auxiliary craft will be
withdrawn for service on the Cuban
blockade.

When the unloading began, crowd
of half-starved citizens rushed to thu
dock, fighting, trampling one another
under foot, breaking open the cases and
stealing the supplies. Finally picket
of troops was placed on the wharf, re-
fusing Abundance to any one. The
entire cargo had been landed before tn.

The water supply of the city, which

town without water, will be turned or
again tonight.

retail, are closed under General Sbaf

which they are exchanging for our hard
tack and corned beef.
Last night the city was very quiet
and there were no disturbances.
The distribution of the supplies from
the State of Texas was anxiously await

A Case of Hoard Failure.


She was much frightened, but no.
ticed that in intervals in which her
stomach did not annoy her, her hearts
action became normal. Reasoning cor
rectly that her digestion was alone at
fault she procured the proper medicine
to treat that trouble and with immedi-
ate good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became less frequent
and finally ceased. Her weight, which
had been greatly reduced was restored
and she now weighs more than for
years. Her blood soon became pure
and her cheeks rosy.
The case Is Of general interest because
the disease is q very common one.
That others may know the means of
cure we give the name of the medicine
used-Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. These pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves.

IN THE MIDST OF FILTH.

Terrible Conditions Wore Found in San
tiago-A Fever Breeding Place.
Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston, July
Strenuous efforts to prevent the
spread of infectious diseases among the
American troops in front Of Santiago
de Cuba were made as soon as the city
surrendered, and for the past SO hours
our soldiers have been sent as rapidly
as possible to the hills to the north Of
the city, where new camps have been
established. The physical condition
Of ouT troops is not considered serious
now that the number of cases Of fever
is growing less all the time, and it is
believed that the disease will disappear
with the removal Of the soldiers to q
healthier location and the extra pre-
cautions which are being taken.
General Shafter has had thorough
examination made Of the sanitary con-
dition of Santiago. The work was
done by DR.. Goodfellow, of the gen.
erals staff and by q civilian physician,
Dr.. Wicker. They find that although
there are but six cases of yellow fever
in the city, in addition to two suspects,
the town Is ripe for an epidemic. San
tiago and Rio Janeiro are the greatest
fever breeding centeis in the world.
This town lacks every sanitary feature
at it's best. and now, after two months
seige, it is a veritable pesthole. The
awful stenches that arise from the
streets stagger and choke one. No
cordial in Santiago has the power to
wash out this ordor from ones throat.
The city of Santiago Is a typical
tropical place. with narrow, crooked
streets, and low, one-story dwellings
and stores. Many of the houses are
succeed and painted with startling
colors, sky blue and vivid shades of
green predominsting. These. with the
red tiles of the roofs and the quaint
verandas, show evidences of past pic
turesqueDess, but everything is now
in state of dilapidation and decay,
and the city Is but shadow of Its for
mer self. The majority of the houses
are absolute ruins, and once beautiful
public squares are now utterly ne
elected.
There is no sewage system. The
city drainage is along the surface to
the harbor, and through the lower part
Of the city much Of the drainage runs,
especially from the poor quarter around
the bullring. to the northwest Of the
CITY, which is the breeding center of
malaria, typhoid and other low fevers.
