A Fruitful Potato plant.

Not satisfied with yielding an enor-
nous output in the regular way, an
Irish potato vine growing In the
garden OF c. G. Nall at Luthersville.
Ca, some time ago began to put out
potatoes all along its branches. and
when sent to the Constitution office
the other day. had potatoes as large
as eggs growing practically all over
the vine.
In a letter accompanying the freak
Mr.. Nall states that the vine grew In
his garden, where the land Ia q mix
ture of sand and red clay. On tax.
ing up the plant, he found that the
Industrious vine had not neglected its
regular duty while pulling on its un.
usual stunt, az proven by the fact
that an unusually large number OF pc.

A Massaeing Hint.

Too many women make the mistake
when massaging the face to treat the
face only. Possibly they manipulate
the throat slightly, but hat is all.
All messages should be carried well
down to the bust line. as this strength,
ems the muscles that extend into the
face. throughout their entire length.
Another important spot for massag.
ing is around the ears and down to
the edge Of the shoulder. Here 1t is
that Turk the first signs of advancing
age. yet strange to say. 1t is the spot
most often neglected. though much

At the present time there are in the

that at least 10000 more beds in hos
