Egg shells may be used to advan-
tage in starting delicate plants for
transplanting. The half shells are
oiled with earth and set in box also
containing the dampened earth. A
hole is made in the point of the shell
to allow drainage. A single seed is
then planted in each shell, which is
easily broken when transplanting il
done, without the slightest disturb
ance of roots. This use of egg shells
is the discovery of French gardener,
who claims they are vastly superior
to the little pots generally used for
the purpose By florists.

DIR. Miles Nervine Gave
Back My Health.

II is not always severe manual labor that
breaks down the health. Mental strain,
worry, anxiety, the cares Of business or the
home, have an equally strong tendency
towards undermining the nervous system,
upon whose vitality the health OF the body
depends. When you find yourself unduly
fretful, anxious, easily excitable; when your
sleep Is troubled and you can get no rest; II
you have frequent he adache, are losing your
appetite and are getting thin, you should be-
gin at once a thorough course of treatment
with DIR. Miles Nervine. There is no nerve
tonic so good, so sure, so safe. 1t speedily
restores the weakened nerves to healthy
action, and builds strength and tissue.

1t is well known that the finer quail
tiles of Women'S shoes, which used to
be made exclusively in France, are now
manufactured so much more skillfully
in the United States that they have

Switzerland, but now watches can be
made nowhere so cheaply as in the
