A Veterans Story.

Bath, N. Y, April l3th.-The first con.
sideration of the Commandant and Officers
in the conduct of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Home here, is the health of the Vet
Grams. Kidney Troubles are the most COM
mon cause of ailment, very few of the old
men escaping these in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much as
possible for themselves and one of the
most popular and useful remedies en-
ployed is Dodds Kidney Pills which seem
to be almost infallible in cases Of Kidney
arrangements. Indeed, there are among
the veterans, several who claim to owe
their lives to Dodd.s Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to
the home from Minneapolis, Mimi, was
given up by four doctors in that city He
had Bright's Disease and never expected
to live through it, but his life was saved
and his health restored by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men and no one
who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for any
Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

TREE PLANTING HINTS.
Soil and Doing the Work just
at the Right Time.

A hole should be dug three feet wide
and 20 inches deep, the tree being
placed in the center, and the hole filled
in with rich soil. Different varieties of
trees require different depths in the
soil. You will find a mark on all trees
showing the depth that they should
grow. Plant two inches deeper than
they originally grow in the nursery
rows. This will allow for settling.
Before filling in the soil around the
roots of the tree straighten the roots
in proper position and fill in with rich
earth, tramping the earth solid around
the roots. If any part of the roots is
broken by digging, prune back from
the under side of the root to the live
wood. Leave branches as low as pos
sible to the ground; this will shade the
body of the tree.
Trees are damaged from the south
and the southwest by the rays of the
sun.
The current of sap that feeds the
roots comes from the leaves of the
tree. The water which falls on the
leaves follows down the leaf stem to
the bark of the tree. When examined
with a microscope you will find that
the wood is perfectly porous. Any
thing that disturbs the bark of the tree
stops the flow of sap that feeds the
roots, thereby enabling insects to more
successfully attack the trees. There
are numerous things to prevent this.
First, the trees should be washed to
kill the insects in the months of April
and May. This will destroy the germs
that make the worms and the borers.
Such can be prevented with very lit
tie expense. There are numerous
chemicals that will kill the insects, but
the cheapest and best thing you can use
is to make solution of soft soap; say,
take five boxes of concentrated I've and
IS pounds of lard, boil into slurry, set
aside and cool. Use as whitewash
This rule of washing will apply to all
shrubs and vines.
The main feature in getting the
trees and plants to grow is not to plant
too deep and to plant with rich earth
and have the earth solid around the
plants when planted, and not to plant
too late in the season, when the stock
is in bud.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
