HOW TO GROW DAHLIAS.
Plant Tubers About Four Inches
Deep, Do Not Disturb Eyes-Hot
and Dry Weather Harmful.

There are few flowers more pleasing
than the dahlia. 1t is particularly for
cut flower purposes, as 1t continues to
produce beautiful flowers longer than
most other plants.
The tubers of hundred different
varieties, each with a charm of its
own, may be purchased, or the plants
may be grown from seed, but the
easiest method is to plant the tuber-
like roots. The tubers are separated
into several pieces each, leaving one
eye for each piece, and planted In a
yard or field like potatoes, except that
the time of planting must be delayed
until all danger of frost is past.
Care must be taken not to disturb
any of the eyes. The tubers should be
planted about four inches deep and
given a good watering Immediately
after planting. They grow best in very
rich, heavy soil, and should be plant
ed about two or three feet apart. They
should be in position which insures
plenty of light and air, but where the
plants will not be exposed to much di.
rect sunlight. They will not endure a
long season Of very hot, dry weather.
The plants should be tied to stakes
about four feet in height. All but the
strongest shoots should be removed
as they appear, only the strongest be-
ing left standing, and the tying
should begin when the plant is a foot
high, being continued as it grows.
In the fall, after the frost has killed
the tops of the plants and there is dan.
ger of the ground freezing, the roots
or tubers may be taken and stored in
dry, cool, frost-proof room or Gel.
lar. 1t is good plan to examine the
tubers occasionally during the win.
ter and remove any decayed specimens.
The dahlias which may be grown
by the amateur are numbered by the
hundred and every year new varieties
add to the list in beauty, form and
color.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Now thousands on pleasure and "cul-
ture" bent are taking part In the
great annual pilgrimage to the old
world. Now thousands bent on seek
ing better fortune are patiently max
ing their way to the new world. The
one goes over to spend the dollars,
the other comes over to make the dol
lars.
In this country the steamship COM
ponies appeal to their patrons by
means of seductive itineraries, allur-
ing pictures of life on the ocean wave
and of charms of the great playground
across the water. Over in the old
world agents are at work with the
common people, melting them to
dreams of happy land of liberty and
short hours and easy money.
The ship companies find the emf
grafton movement very profitable, emf
grafton authorities declare the COM
panies are responsible for at least so
per cent. of the departure for foreign
lands. In refutation, the transporta-
ton lines deny they employ the sub
agents at work all over the continent,
making use of unnatural means to
bring about emigration; but it is more
than probable the business is done

the whole passage without coming in
contact with a person not OF the

guarded exclusiveness we have one OF
the sharpest contrasts to the emf

perchance his portion of food eaten
from his lap in the common sleeping

folk it is not choice of fresh air in

Then he held the diamond under mi

the hope of getting a compliment:

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

10 Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine Cor a
large one) goes wrong, nothing Is sc
important as the selection of food tc
bring 1t around again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
Il decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die
When l reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him just the
juice Of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, l raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph | send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con.
tains the elements nature demands
from which to make the soft gray
filling in the nerve centers and brain.
A well-fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.
