HOW JAPS KEEP STRONG.
Record Readers Can Learn Something
OF Value From This.

Such thing as weakling is hard
ly known in Japan. The wonderful
endurance of the Japanese soldiers
and sailors in the recent was has been
the marvel of all nations. Both men
and women are well, happy and
strong.
The reason for this, so careful in
vestigation tells us, is hat the Japan
ese from childhood up know how to
keep well through care of the digest
i've system. II they have trouble with
Indigestion, heartburn, wind on stom-
ach, loss of appetite, sleeplessness,
headaches. rheumatic pains, back
aches, or any of the other troubles
caused by a weak stomach, they treat
themselves with some of the principal
remedies that compose Mi-o-na, a

DISEASE AND DIABETES

We desire to place in the hands of
those afflicted with Bright's Disease or
Diabetes a S6-page pamphlet that is
saving human lives. II is not an or
dinary pamphlet, but is principally
made up of reports of scientifically
conducted tests in large variety of
cases. showing 81 per cent of recover

This booklet is for thoughtful people
people who can discriminate between
common patent medicine literature and
carefully prepared report of a pa
tient, serious and profoundly important
investigation.
The specifics employed in these tests
are known as the Fulton Compounds
and the results obtained prove con-
clusively that these dreaded diseases
so long fatal have at last yielded to

planted after the usual method, in
formal beds of geometrical design in
the center of the lawn, but about a
border of shrubbery masses. The
opening between the branches of the
shrubs can be filled in with these
bright Towering plants. Each species
of flower should be massed by itself
in the shade of the shrubbery bran
ches. The mass of shrubs forms
pleasing background for the bios
soming flowers. The whole effect is
of brightness and color, even among
the darker shrubs that are not in

autumn are interspersed among the
shrubs, the shrubbery masses yill be

Ancient Landmark
RaZed Last Monday
Chimney Which Stoop the
Laid o Make Room for New Industry.

The brick smokestack of the old
smelter on South Ninth street was
demolished last Monday afternoon
by John Ritzman, who is clearing
away the dilapidated group of build
ings which surrounded it preparatory
TO the erection of a concrete struc-
ture, having a frontage of fifty feet
on Ninth street, to be used as fac
tory for making cement building
blocks and drainage dling of various
sizes. The means employed by Mr..
Ritzman in destroying the heavy
smokestack. which probably weighed
six or seven hundred tons, was most
ingenious and successful.
For the distance of about half the
circumference of the smokestack the
brick were taken out of a height of
about three feet from the foundation
the structure. being securely prot; ed
with heavy timbers as the work OF
weakening the walls proceeded. When
the task was finished the wooded SUI
perstructure was saturated with coal

kind to be constructed here for irri-
CATION purposes, was begun in 1864
but was not completed for twelve
months later, and, until the water
was turned into it, a lawn was regard
ed as impossible as there was not
moisture enough in the soil to sus-
tain grass during the summer season.
With the new order of things inaug-
urated by irrigation Mr.. Harrison de-
termined to enjoy the luxury of a
lawn and to that end seeded the
ground about his home with red clo-
yer, which grew vigorously as the re-
suit of the occasional foodings of
water it received from the ditch. Mr..
Harrison lived at that time at the
northwest corner of Main and Second
streets, now occupied by C. C. Daw-
son, and many people visited his
premises to see the clover growing
about his home. Forty years has
certainly wrought revolution in
Colorado so far as the growth of
vegetation is concerned, and many of
its dry places have been made to bios
som as the rose through the magic
influence of water.

upon the blaze it was nearly two
hours before the timbers burned
away sufficiently to allow the smoke
stack to fall. A large crowd of people
gathered to speculate upon how long
it would take the fire to burn away
the supports and to witness the de-
molishtion of the great pile of brick
and mortar. When the timbers had
become so weakened as to be no long
or able to sustain the immense weight
imposed upon them they gave way
and the venerable old smokestack
seemed to crumble like rope of sand
for distance of seven or eight feet
from its base before the top of the
structure lost its perpendicular. 1t
is needless to state that the fall of so
great a weight raised cloud of dust
and that many of the brick were
broken in consequence of their i'm
pact with mother earth. The old
smokestact. which was about seven
ty-five feet high, was one of the mon
uments of a by-gone age in the COM
munity and its destruction has left
an aching void in the landscape to

they look towards Canon City.

deep. An examination of the stem
of each plant will show the planter
how deep the vine stood naturally in
the soil and it should be planted ac-
cordingly.
Where it is not desirable to plant
permanent growing vine, or where a
quicker growth is wanted, rapid grow
ing annual vines may be used. Among
the best of this variety are the moon
flower, suitable for either shady or
sunny places, the large Japanese
morning glories which grow in the
sun, the MADEIRA vine for either sun
or shade and the tall forms of the
nasturtium.
The seeds of any of these vines
should be planted now, in well pre-
pared soil. The customary method
in planting seeds is to press the earth
down over the seeds with the foot or
garden implement, leaving smooth,
compact surface above. This is a
mistake. as smooth surface will
bake and prevent the growth of the
plants. A better way is cover the
seeds only partially with soil that
may be compacted and then to put on
top about an inch of loose, mellow
soil TO prevent baking.
Among the best ornamental shrubs
for home planting are the golden bell
or Forsythia, Japanese ounce, lilac.

Prospects Good
for a Big Yield
The Promises Were
Strawberry Prospects In Few Weeks

In addition to a splendid prospect
for big apple crop this season the
outlook is very encouraging for
small fruits of all kinds and it would
not be at all surprising if 1906 should
prove to be the banner year in the
history of horticulture in the Arkan-
sas valley.
Some uneasiness was expressed a
month or so ago that the dry, open
winter had seriously injured the
strawberry plants, but the rain and
snowfall which came with the first
week of April thoroughly soaked the
ground with moisture, and, coupled
with the warm sunshine of the last
ten days, the plants have been vivi-
fled into life and growth, thus giving
assurance of a larger yield of berries
than was at first anticipated
In a number of instances growers
have found it necessary to increase
their orders for material to make
boxes and crates to market products
in view of indications of a good crop
A gentleman, who resides on Lin
coin Park, remarked to us recently
that the strawberry crop this year
was going to be better one than most
people supposed, provided, of course.
that it was not hurt by late frosts.
A couple of months ago, he said, it
looked like one hundred crates would
he more than sufficient to hold all
the strawberries l would have to
sell. but they have come out so much
better than l expected that am lit
tie doubtful now whether two hundred
crates will be enough
Cherries, grapes, plums, etc, are
putting forth their buds in fine con-
dition and there is reason to look for
ward to a big crop of these varieties
of fruits. particularly as the yield last
year was not as prolific as is some
times the case. Cherries, especially
are almost sure to bring the grower
"a remunerative price as the Colorado
product last season established its

than would otherwise be the case.
Last year was a poor one for

lief that the yield next fall will be
more than double the product of
twelve months ago. The outlook for

How to Make a
Beautiful Lawn
Missouri Gardener Tells How Make
GoodA Planting

Nothing adds more TO the attrac-
tiveness of the home than vines
shrubbery and towering plants pro-
perly grouped about the house and
lawn" said DR.. ]. C. Whitten, horti-
culturist to the state experiment sta
ton, in the Columbia Herald. DR..
Whitten is one of the leading author
tiles on home landscape gardening.
In discussing the subject he gave
some useful information on the pro-
per selection and care of plants and
shrubs for early spring planting in
the city lawn.
The best way to succeed in plant
ing of vines is TO have the soil well
spaded up as early in the spring as
II can be worked without being too
sticky. This is necessary in order to
get a good cover or screen for the
porch or outbuilding. The spaded
area need not be over eighteen inches
wide, Just enough to kill the grass
roots back from the roots of the vine
and prevent their mingling.
Among the vines which grow per-
ennially. the most attractive and
those best adapted to this soil and
climate are the Japanese honeysuckle,
native trumpet creeper and the wis
terra for sunny locations, and the
Dutchman's pipe, Virginia creeper
and the virgins bower for shady
places.

is to set the roots too deep in the soil

TOBACCO CONTRACTS
MIKE WRIGHT TALKS OF
WHAT HAWAII CAN GROW
WHAT HE SAYS HAPPENED DUR.
ING HIS FOUR MONTHS STAY.
HIS CONTRACTS WITH
LOCAL PRODUCERS.

The Seattle Times of January s..
says:
II believe the time is near when the
raising of tobacco will be the chief in
dustry in the Hawaiian Islands. Up to
date, with the exception of little
work done by the United States govern
ment, not q tobacco leaf had been
