How to Water Flower Beds,

If the soil is good stiff loan and you
have frequent showers you do not need
to supply any water If your soil is
sandy and the weather dry it is benef-
cial to water every day. Geraniums
seldom need watering when growing
in good garden soil. With much water
they grow too much and flower sparse
~. Cannas require rich soil and plenty
of water. Coleus and plants of this
character do not require much water.
For them and geraniulns we prefer,
says the Suburban Life, frequent hoe
ing TO watering. Careful watering is
the hardest thing to teach an ineXperi-
enced hand both in the greenhouse and
on the lawn. Ii using hose. sprinkle
carefully. having just enough force to
water without washing the ground
Hold the sprinkler near the ground
and see that the water goes where you
want it. In this way the ground will
become thoroughly soaked. Never
stand off and throw water at flower
bed Geraniums should not have the
flower heads watered if you can avoid
it. as it spoils them completely. In the
evening after shutdown is the best time
to supply water. as the plants have all
night to take up the moisture. for wa

WHEN SHOES PINCH.
How to Prevent the Trouble and In.

How TO Prevent tho Trouble and In.
sure Comfort.
Th~re are few people who do not
know some time in the course of the
year where the shoe pinches, and it is
hardly too much to say that in nearly
every case this is preventable and is
produced by ignorance. Bathing the
feet daily. cutting the nails and going
now and then to the chiropodist pre-
vent many ills, but there is more to be
done in order to promote the good APP
pearance of the feet and their abso-
lutte comfort. Special foot ills from
which people suffer are corns. bunions
and ingrowing nails. 1t is necessary to
be very careful in the selection of
stockings. as also in boots and shoes.
1t is no economy to have only one pair
Of shoes or boots in constant wear.
Three is far more beneficial. 1t is not
good for the feet to keep to one pair.
and three pairs will last much longer
worn in change than one pair after the
other.
During the day many people go
through various phases with their feet
They are often Slightly swollen in the
morning: then d loose shoe should be
worn. the size Icing sufficiently ample
to allow the feet to spread and have
perfect ease, the heels being not above
the moderate height. On going out it
| is advantageous to change both shoes
and stockings. The feet perspire a
good deal. and a fresh stocking is
healthy and Clearly. 1t is best to use
cold water for the feet in cold weather
and warm water in hot weather. for
the cold water hardens the feet and
especially in towns prevents the pave
mcnts affecting them and wards off
chills. A little spirit in the water to
battle the feet rests and strengthens
| them, and little borax and little
7 ammonia in the water are very beneti
cial. Those who have to stand about
all day should change their shoes III

what the leather absorbs, so that it is

and the leather, which is thus allowed
to air and dry. lasts much longer. The
reason why patent leather shoes are SC
unhealthy and often painful in the
wearing is that they cannot be venti
lated, SO that The feet perspire more
! The ankles are very sensitive; hence IN
cold weather high boots or CATERS
should be worn. If the feet are too dry
and hard, the skin beneath thickening
cream rubbed IN at night is specially
beneficial. Those that perspire unduy
should be treated by damping the
stockings with little alcohol and ap
plying little powder, such as boracit
or talcum. Half of the foot troubles

How to Cure an Oily Skin,

Just take little oatmeal in the palm

II. SYMPTOMS OF RABIES. /
How to Know When Your Dog Il
Really Mad.

Eydrophobia is in reality so rare and
so terrifying that its symptoms and
treatment are little understood. AS a
matter of fact. the commonly accepted
expression of madness in dog Is Of
ten misleading. The real mad dog does
not shun water, as it is said. On the
contrary. mad dogs often rush to the
water and drink eagerly if they are
able to swallow. The mad dog does
not froth at the mouth. 1t does not
run amuck, swapping at everything in
its path. What. then. are the indica
tons of the mad dog? TO those famil-
lar with Il given deg the surest symp-
tom and the one which should excite
closest attention is distinct and I'M
accountable change in the dogs dispo-
sition, staid dog becoming excitable
and a frisky one dull.
That condition does not necessarily
mean rabies, but it is suspicious. says
Caspar Whitney in the July Outing,
and if in addition the dog has trouble
in swallowing. as though it seemed to
have bone in its throat, beware.
That dog should be instantly tied up,
because Il it be rabies it takes but a
day or two for ferocious instincts to
develop. The unmistakable evidence,
however, Of a dog with rabies is the
sticky. whitish saliva which covers the
teeth and shows on the drawn lips.
The eyes glare and are red; the dog
has paroXysns of running fury. during
which it barks hoarsely, which alter

How to Mash an Auto.

In washing an automobile use plenty
of water. Two sponges should be
used and two channels skins. one set
being used for the body and the Other
set for the chassis and running gear,
since the chassis and running gear will
always be more or less oily. and there
is no excuse for getting oil on the
body. When Il car comes In at night
covered with mud, under no circum.
stances should this be allowed to re-
main on overnight and harden. The
car should be Immediately run on the
washstand and the mud softened by
showering the car with cold water
Do not attempt to rub the mud off
but allow it to be taken off gradually
by the water.

EIGHT PERSONS LOSE
THEIR LIVES in FIRE
Steamer Burns to the Waters
Edge on Lake Winnipeg.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. >S.-The steam
er Premier, Captain Stevens, was
burned to the waters edge at War
ren's Landing, the northern terminus
of Lake Winnipeg.
Six passengers and two of the crew
lost their lives and docks and other
buildings in the vicinity were de-
stroyed.
The fire started in the hold near
the engine room during the night and
spread with frightful rapidity, and
those who lost their lives were either
smothered or burned to death in their
berths.
The Premier left Selkirk for the
north with thirty-eight passengers and
crew, arriving safely at Warren's
Landing. About twenty persons were
sleeping on board when the fire broke
out. Lack of hotel accommodations
at the trading post kept the passen
gers on the boat.
When the cry of fire was raised
those who escaped did so in scanty
attire by jumping overheard, when
they either swan to shore or were
picked up by boats.
