EFFECT OF MULCH.
1t Does Not Retard Blooming Of Straw
berry Plants.

No. This question has been settled
for 90 years. So long as the top Of
plant is exposed to sunshine and air
so long will any mulch be impotent to
retard its developing and blooming
II plant like strawberry plant bo
kept entirely covered with the mulch
the development will be retarded, but
in that case the plant is likely to be
destroyed by the mildews that will de-
velop.
II used to be believed that placing
straw around tree or around plant
would keep its roots cold and thus
delay blooming. This was desired to
carry the tree or plant beyond the
time OF killing frosts. But II was not
difficult to prove that the state OF the
roots had nothing to do with the
time OF leaving out of the tree or OF
fits budding In one of the domonstra.
tons to prove this, a grape vine with
its roots in the frozen ground, which
was also covered with snow, was car.
ried into greenhouse and exposed to
the light, heat and sunshine. The
leaves came out as usual, though the
roots could not supply moisture. or
course the exhaustion OF the moisture
in the vine resulted in its destruction.
A tree or plant can be kept back
from blooming only by covering It and
thus protecting II from the influences
that cause II to bring forth leaves and
blossoms. The first activities Of n
tree or plant come from energy stored
up in the form of starch from the
food taken the previous year.

COFFEE DRINKING

matter.

'In my opinion" says a well known
German physician, no one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him.
as II has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained In coffee, Is an In.
furious. poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart
muscles.
For this reason the regular use OF
coffee, soon or late, causes condition
Of undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds Of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
Use instead of coffee. At last found
the thing desired in Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee. whose hearts were affected,
have recommended Postum as bev-
erage, since 1t is free from all injuri.
Gus or exciting substances. know
this from results in my own family,
and among patients.
Hundreds of persons who now use
Postum in place OF coffee, are greatly
benefited thereby" There's 4 Reason"
