Much sickness is OF nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the. liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any OF these organs are weak,
it is the fault OF the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DIR. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation OF nerve force.

They'd have 10 stop from time to time
And give their jaws n rest

And talked Il all the while.
They never stopped TO chew a WORD
Nor for a breathing space.
Nor into slang did they descend
Just to relieve their face.

Who. couldn't read a line
Rolled gnaried and jagged language

In manner superfine.

As colts In spring shed hair
And. were they learned or untaught.
Right with the goods were there
In battles fierce and awful stress
Or In the heat OF crime
They had their feelings to express
In stilted prose or rhyme
They may have tossed words In the
breeze
AS pictured In the play.
But how I'd hate TO have to ease
Myself OF thought that way!

MRS CHAMP CLARK of Missouri
Av4 has entered a controversy which
Is In progress in Washington among

ham is the best, anyhow. The wife

and others who have declared in favor
of hickory smoke with which to cure
the ham, the light of the full moon in
which to kill it, and that it must come

Question of Ham Raised in Washington

this dainty morsel is not only an art,
but borders on the sacred things of
our lives.
Our pigs are raised with infinite
care; they are not allowed to associate
with those of the lower strata in life;
iron-clad rules are observed in feed
Ing and grooming them, and when at
last they are doomed to die, we are
almost as sorry as they can possibly
be-.
But our qualms of conscience are
assuaged when, after months of smok-
ing In the dear old smokehouse, the
hams are tenderly taken from their
hooks and treated to a period of SIM
mering (for you never boil a ham) and
basting and browning and garnishing,
then served and eaten with pure JOY
and gusto.
"They don't know what really
good piece of hog meat is in Virginia.
I will admit, however, that l learned
all know about cooking ham from
my friend Mrs. Burke of Alexandria,
Mrs. Burke is great-granddaughter of

me how the art of simmering the
dainty came to be known in America
"She said that when Mr.. Jefferson
was rambling about Europe in search
of knowledge, he happened to stay in
Paris at fashionable hotel. The
ham was so good that Mr.. Jefferson
called for the Prince of the Kitchen
and asked him how he managed to
keep the meat so tender.

WASH1NGTON.-The plant experts
w of the department of agriculture
are turning their attention to things
OF beauty as we'll as usefulness, and
several new flowers have been evolved
by them. Next season in all probabil-
ity some novel varieties of lilies which
were originated in the departments
greenhouses in Washington will be
placed upon the market by growers,
as we'll as new summer-blooming
dahlia.
The growing of lilies in the United
States" said Prof. B. T. Galloway, in
charge of the bureau of plant indus
try, lis rapidly becoming an tmpor-
tant Industry. Large quantities of
bulbs have in years past been i'm.
ported from Bermuda, Japan and 9TH
er countries, and the demand for the
Towering plants seems to be on the
increase
Various lines of work have been
undertaken and carried out by our
expert, Mr.. Oliver, chiefly for the pur.
pose OF securing new types of lilies
by hybrtdizing and crossing and to
demonstrate the practicability of grow
ing lilies in this country directly from
seed"
One of the most promising of the
hybrids has resulted from crossing the
Philippine lily and the Bermuda lily.
The Philippine lily takes two months
to come into bloom from the period of
planting the bulb, while the Bermuda
and it's various relatives require in
the neighborhod of five months. It
was thought that there would be
