A Borneo Parasite. H.,
A famous rarity In the vegetable
world Of Borneo is the Taff1esia. the
buah pakmah of Malays. The plant is
one of the most degraded of parasites,
and so completely does II suhmerge
itself in the tissues OF its host that the
only part which ever shows itself TO
the external world is the enormous
flower. The diameter of the flower
measures about two feet, the odor is
repulsive and there is not one feature
of beauty to recommend it to man. 1t
appears. however. to hold an impor-
tant place in the pharmacopoeia Of
the natives. which perhaps imagine
that the plant to which nature has
given so uninyiting an exterior must
possess some hidden virtue in the way
of compensation. Various species OF
are known in Borneo, and

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do.
Their UncessIng work Keeps US Strong and
Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood /,
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily. When Unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt. graz ell, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing. dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposite in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.

The ladies of the Civic League here
present a small sketch for LAYING out
and planting grounds of moderate
size, which has been made for them by
a landscape architect of reputation in
the east. Accompanying the plan are
a few suggestions as to the lest
situation for shrubs and trees, some
resons for these suggestions and list
of handy and appropriate plants. The
League hopes that this plan and the
suggestions may be of use to those who
contemplate planting during the COM
ing season. An adaptation of this plan
to any place would not be difficult to
make as the general principles given
in the context are applicable any
where.
Respectfully submitted for the
Civic League of Alma.

should demand a different route. A
curving walk. which is not justified bv
some practical consideration. ordin-
arily dishgures small place.
Second Probably the best type of
boundary fence. Is a wire fence such as
is already in use here and there. This
is a more durable fence than one of
wood and costs less to maintain If
properly clothed with vines. it can be
made a pretty feature of small place.
Third Ito screen outbuIldings. a
thick planting of one kind of trees
should be used, being placed ir-
regularly about the buildings. not set
in stiff lines.
Fourth-In the writer's opinion,
nothing adds so much to the appear
ance of a house as certain amount of
shrubs Immediately at Its base. Such
planting mates the house with
the grounds; j gives the appear
ance of having grown out of The
ground, rather than having been set
down on it like box and relieves the
hare and uninviting look Of the
average farm house. Vines trained
upon the house or piazza posts will
further soften its architectural lines.
Fifth---In planting masses of trees
and shrubs along the boundary line
a very few different kind of plants
used in considerable quantities. will
produce much more beautiful effect
than one or too each of many differ
ent kinds. The object is not to
secure specimens of plants. but a con-
tinuous mass of foliage as frame
for the open lawn space. A few small
trees among mass of shrubs gives
a pleasing contrast.
Sixth The proper use of flowers for
the small place is no easy matter A
stiff formal fiower-bed in the midst of
an open lawn space, destroys the
quiet. restful feeling when lawn
should produce. A flower border on
either side of the entrance walk may
be made very pretty feature
Ordinarily. however. the best place
for the flowers is in front of the
boundary planting of shrubs. II the
latter are evergreens, the early flower
ing bulbs, etc. will then have a green
background which will greatly on
nance the beauty of their blossoms
The ACCOMPANYING plan illustrates
the general principles outlined above
1t is designed merely to show In
general way the disposition of walks
plants. and lawn areas which in the
case of most small places will produce
the most pleasing results The space
enclosed by the irregular lines are TO
be completely filed with plants. the
desired effect not being obtained until
no ground is visible around the plants

Alma, in identifying their home
surroundings, are as follows:
First Means of access to the house.
whether roads or walks should follow
the most direct and natural routes ;
should be laid out with some idea of
good proportion.of width to length.
and be well defined bv a curb or edg-
ing and surfaced as we'll as the means
of the owner may allow.
Second Border fences should be
made as inconspicious as possible and
their barren and stiff lines relieved by
planting.
Third Outbildings should be
screened from the view of the street
as well as from the owners view by
proper planting.
Fourth---The stiff base lines and
angles OF the house, should be softened

A Planting Plan For The
Small Place.

By shrubberv and vine planting
Immediately at its base.
Fifth---Trees and shrubs should not
be unfortunately dotted about the
ward but together massed along the
boundary lines. leaving a certain
amount of open space. bounded on the
one side bv the boundary planting and
on the ohter, by the planting at the
base of the house.
Sixth---The open space should
remain a small lawn.
Seventh Flowers should be confined
to irregular borders or masses close to
the boundary by planting.
A word or two in explanation of
these general principles may be useful !:
First---A walk four or five feet wide.

should run straight to the house

Elm Camp M. w. A.
There was something doing
last evening at Woodman Hall,
and the pleasant time will not
soon be forgotten by the large
crowd present. The occasion
was the installation of officers,
which work was done by Head
Consul Tyler of Logan, and his
work was we'll done. AS soon
as the assembly could be called
to order, Dr.. Warren introduce
ed Mr., Tyler, who then proceed
ed to install the various officers
as follows:
Geo. Beagle, Consul
A. I. Briggs, Adviser
DIR. Warren, Banker
H. C. Reel, Clerk
H. r. Anterior, Escort
w. A. Roberts, Waterman
Ed Frazier, Sentry
w. NJ. Carlisle, Mgr.
DIR. McGavren and DR.. Bough-
ton, Physicians
The ceremony of installation
is very impressive and Mr..
Tyler is a past master in this
feature of the work. After he
had congratulated the camp in
its successful membership, Mr..
Tyler turned the organization
over to the entertainment COM
mittee.
A stage had been built in the
south end of the hall to be used
by the minstrel troupe, which
now filed in, and which was
composed of the following tai
ented young men of our town:
Harry Allstrand, interlocutor;
Leo Fell, Fred Fensler, Earl
Beagle and Frank Bellamy, end
men; others taking part were,
Ed Fensler, Dennis Kirlin, John
O'Connor, George Schlagen-
hauff, Elmer Isaacs, George
johnson, Charles Bertleson,
Purcell, Harlan Tracey and
Ward McGavren. The end
men were dressed in regulation
minstrel costume.
The opening chorus was,
The Old Flag Never Touched
the Ground" then followed
solos by Ed Fensler, 81 Wish |

"Just Some One" John O'Con-
nor, "The Mighty Deep" and
Leo Fell, "The Loving Rag, !"
George Schlagenhauff, "Good
Old U. S. A." The Seminole
Club Quartette sang several
selections of real merit. The
boys all received hearty APP
plause and responded to en-
cores very pleasantly. Til e
jokes by the end men kept the
crowd in good humor and the
time passed all too soon. This
entertainment was one Of the
best ever given by a lodge and
Elm Camp No. 1921, M. w. A.
was fortunate to secure the
promise of the boys to partici-
pate.
Following the entertainment
long tables were set in the hall,
laden with everything imagiE-
able, and to this feast all did
ample justice.
e. G. Tyler returned to Lo-
gan this morning, having been
in the Valley to install the off
GERS of the Modern Woodman,
last night. He stated
that he enjoyed himself
royalty, and was very mnch
pleased with the condition OF
