SAVE MOISTURE FOR PLANTS
Rake or Some Other implement
to Prevent Evaporation.

Usually as soon as rain is over
the atmosphere is free of moisture
and evaporation from the soil sets in.
The water that has just soaked in
comes up through the little pores be-
tween the soil grains and passes off
from the surface of the soil into the
air. The gardeners aim with the
mulch is to save this moisture and
send it through his plants. If the lit.
tie pipes or tubes formed by the pores
of the soil are broken the flow through
them is checked and evaporation from
the ground is much lessened. 1t is
only necessary then in order to save
the moisture for the plants to break
up the surface of the soil with a rake
or other implement,

Water Moving Up.

the plant mulch prevents the loss
of moisture, while on the other side
the water is being lost by evaporation
at the crusted surface.
When a heavy rain falls the greater
part of the water passes down through
the soil until it reaches place where
all the openings between the soil par
ticles are filed with free water. Dur
ing the time between rains the plants
must get their moisture from this sup
ply deep down in the ground.
In order to keep this moisture in
the ground a loose, light mulch on the
surface is necessary and this Is pro-
duced by shallow cultivation.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates

Coffee is such a secret worker that
1t is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
1t discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid hundred times the amount
of the Doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
THE use of Postum instead of cot.
fee was begun about year ago, and
1t has made my husband a strong, we'll
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
in ttat time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared

not boil 1t long enough and he said
there was something wrong with 1t.

Schools for TubercuIous Children.

Schools for Tuberculous Children.
Special schools for tuberculous chill
dren have now been established in
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches-
ter, Washington. Hartford, Conn, Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, d. c.,
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three more, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark,
N. j.
In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment of
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience of
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

Rain Soaking Into Soil.

It the plant food which it has dis
solved out Of the little soil particles
All of the food which comes from
the soil must be in solution before it
can be used by the plant. The water
that goes in through the roots passes
out through the leaves into the air and
caves the plant food behind to build
up the tissues of the plant.
II the soil is hard and lumpy the
little roots cannot penetrate far into
1t, but must feed near the surface. If
we have a deep mellow seed bed, the
roots are encouraged to go deep and
gather plant food from large amount
of soil
The plant food in hard, lumpy ground
is not easily dissolved Stirring the
soil and breaking up the clods brings
the water into contact with more soil
surface and hastens the solution of
the plant food
Thrifty farmers try to keep their
soil mellow and loose on the surface
so that it will absorb and hold water
enough to carry the plant through the
dry, hot part of the season.

teresting way in which the rainwater
enters the soil and how it comes back

Garden Is Profitable.

The garden is a profitable piece of
land. 1t pays to inclose 1t with a
tight and substantial fence, so that

the home grounds, it will pay to make

CITY BEGINS
WORK ON new
SLU|CING LINE

The city is today starting on a
new pipe line that will give plen-
ty of water for sluicing the dirt
through the pipe at the U. p.
tunnel.
Superintendent Whitney was
busy all morning preparing plans
and collecting material for a big
pipe line. The little four-inch
pipe laid in the first place was ut
terly inadequate and this time a
big one will be used, running
from Is inches down to 10 inches
at the outlet. 1t will extend from
station A to the tunnel portal and
will be fed by the dams in the
gulch by graviety. There will be
a head of from 20 to IS feet,
according tothe figures of the
water department. 1t is thought
this will be sufficient to start the
dirt In teh sluice pipe on its trip
down to Pacific avenue.
City Electrician Lauzon was
also called down to the tunel by
the contractors this morning to
prepare plans for lighting the tun-
mel and for furnishing power foi
