This Is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neigh

syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better, and does
not cost so much. 1t causes the pa

An absent minded professor was
much annoyed by the trouble he expe-
rienccd every morning in hunting for
his clothes, for he never could reme,n-
Der where he had put them the night
before when he undrcsscd. So he de
viscd the plan of writing down on n
sheet of paper where each article Of
clothing was placed ms he took it Off.
and this is what lie wrote:
Coat on third peg. left hand corner
of room; waistcoat and trousers on
chair by bed; collar on door handle; tie
through key of door; vest on floor by
window; cuffs on knobs by bedstead;
shirt on portnanteau; socks TN gas
bracket; boots outside door; professor
in bed"
Next morning this plan seemed 10 an
swer admirably, He collected his gar
ments rapidly, and when he cane to
the last item on the list he went over
TO the bed and. to his great disgust,
found it empty.
"Ah,' he cried in bewilderment
Nov the professor Is lost! This plan
is not good. What shall do now?1

THE DANOELlON
No More Successful Plant and Non,
More Wonderful.

| No More Successful Plant and None
! More Wonderful.
| Perhaps none of our plants Is more
| common or more familiar than the
| dandelion, and certainly none Is more
| wonderful. First of all it is not Il ma
| tive, but was introduced from Europe,
whence have come many of our worst
weeds fitted by centuries Of struggle in
cultivated fields to overcome the ma
tive plants of continent where cult
walton had previously been practically
unknown and where natives had had
no opportunity of adapting themselves
to the conditions OF civilized agricul-
ture.
One Of the dandelion's strongest
points Is the ability to obtain nourish-
ment under strong competition and in
unfayorable situations. A deep, strong
perennial taproot draws all available
nourishment and moisture from sur
face aud subsoil, stores nourispmen
during the winter and enablep the
plant to start far and away ahead OF
most of its competitors. This same tap
root is exceedingly bitter, which very
likely protects 1t from destruction by
moles and other animals At least
do not remember having seen root
that had been disturbed by animals OF
any kind.
But only a small portion of its food
comes from the soil Air and sunshine
are just rs necessary, for the air is
food and the sunshine is digestion for
our vegetable ncighbors. Note the
shape OF the leaves. Narrow at the
base and widening Mt the outer end,
they form a dense rosette that not only
gets for the dandelion all the air and
sunshine coming its way, but smothers
all but the most sturdy competitors.
Here lies the secret of the dandelion's
presence in lawns and walks and open
waste places In lawns the grass Is
kept low so that it cannot overtop and
shade the dandelion, while Its own
leaves lie so low and close that they
are little hurt by the mower and can
smother the grass underneath. - Har-
per's Magazine.
