Starving to Death,

Because her stomach was so weaken
ed by useless drugging that she could
not eat, Mrs. Mary II. Walters, of st.
Clair St., Columbus, O., was literally
starving to death. She writes: "My
stomach was so weak from useless
drugs that l could not eat, and my
nerves 80 wrecked that I could not
sleep; and not before 1 was given up
to die was l induced to try Electric
Bitters; with the wonderful result that
improvement began at once, and a
complete cure followed" Best health
tonic on earth. Soc. Guaranteed by
w. r. Barton, druggist.

A couple Of st. Louis apple buyers
who have been here for a week or

among them all the apples from G. S.
Welsh's big orchard. We understand
the price is about, one dollar per bar

A patent wire fence machine is be.
ing exhibited in Laclede. The peo-
pie of this section are reasonably
prosperous, but the probabilities are
that they will invest their surplus in
something more assuring of substan-
tlal returns than patent right.
III. Eccles is making some substan-
tial improvements in the local tele-

If the boy is to be "a little gentle.
man" when away from home, he must
be taught, and not by precept alone,
but as well by example, when he is at
home. And the influence of the ex-

of the mother upon the daughter will
be much more potent than any
amount Of advice or any rules of eti-
quette.

py hearthstones to one that is cold
and cheerless-a thousand prizes to
one blank, and we usually hear more
about prizes than blanks. Marriage

USE OF WINDOW BOXES.
Vines Are Preferable, But Where
Lacking, the Flowering Boxes
Are Most Attractive

The use of window boxes is not to
be recommended extensively except in
crowded downtown districts, apart
ment houses and hotels, where they
are effective in relieving the monotony
of otherwise bare windows and YER
andas. Where it is possible, however,
TO grow the hardy types of climbers
in the ground, they will be found far
superior to boxes planted in the win
dow or on the veranda. A window
box is usually eight inches to a foot
in depth, and the same in width, the
length varying. 1t should never be
less than six inches deep. 1t should
be made of seven-eighths-inch lumber,
and should conform in shape to the
window or veranda to which 1t is at
taGhed. 1t should be either hung to
the veranda railing or rest on brack-
cts. 1t is often. placed on the window
sill il the latter is wide enough
1T is important to see that the box
has good drainage. Holes of good
size should be drilled in the bottom,
about IL inches apart, and these COW
cred with some loose material before
putting in the soil. Use rather light
soil. and preferably that which has
been made open with plenty of COW
manure. Heavy clay soil has a tend

plants If allowed to become at all dry.
Two excellent fertilizers for window
boxes are bone meal and bone shaw
ings, especially the latter, which
should be placed in the bottom OF the
box and thoroughly mixed with the
soil. 1t will fit the plants later in the
season, when they most need IT.
