How to Grow Rhubarb in Winter.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. You
rhubarb referred to in last weeks Journal than
an omniscient editor ought to be! 1t is a much
easier and simpler and more common thing
than you seem to think. One thing in your re-
port puzzles me however, l confess, and that is
how that rhubarb was grown Gin week"
There could scarcely be much growth or sub
stance to rhubarb in week, surely. Here is
how you or any one else may have all the rhu-
barb you want for succession of rhubarb pies
in winter, with the thermometer so below zero
if you like, and with very little trouble involv-
ed, as have had it myself long ago. 1t is
quite open ''secret."
Take box or half barrel, nail kegs, use,
put some good manure at bottom, then some
dirt. In this bury up to the eyes, as you
would in the garden, healthy root of rhubarb
as large as it will hold, place this in dark
corner of the cellar, keep it well watered, not
letting it go dry-and see it grow. Keeping it
in the dark encourages the growth of stalk in
stead Of leaf, and also keeps it more tender.
have used the small kinds for quick growth
and the large for quantity. It takes longer
than week but it gets there all the same, and
the pies are like what mother used to maker
By the way, you can board off dark corner of
the cellar if you like, and grow according to
instructions. Yours truly,

You can eat anything your stomach Graves
without fear of case of Indigestion or Dys-

Headaches from the stomach are absolutely

Diapepsin really does all the work of a healthy

stomach can't. Each triangule will digest all
the food you can eat and leave nothing to fer

Get large 5o-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin

by tomorrow you will actually brag about your
healthy, strong Stomach, for you then can eat
anything and everything you want without the
slightest discomfort or misery, and every

Temperance Instruction In Schools.

Mrs. Edith Smith Davis, Worlds and
National Superintendent of Scientific
Temperance Instruction in Schools, rec
emily completed successful tour in
Colorado, Missouri, and the Southwest,
and is now on an equally successful trip
in the New England States. January
10Th mass meeting was held in Ford
Hall, Boston, at which Mrs. L. M. N.
Stevens, Miss Anna A. Gordon, and G.
H. Martin, Phi. D. sec'y. Of the Massachu-
sets Board of Education, were among
the speakers. DR.. Martin set forth the
excellent record of Massachusetts in
teaching temperance in the schools.
One hundred years ago the legislature
enacted law making it obligatory on
all instructors to teach temperance to
their pupils. He promised on behalf of
the school-peopIe of Massachusetts their
cordial cooperation with Mrs. Davis eff
forts to promote temperance teaching.
The next day an Institute was held in
Pilgrim Hall. Since then Mrs. Davis has
spoken in Boston University, Fall River
Institute, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke, in the
Normals at Bridgewater and Hyannis,
as we'll as in many grade and high schools.
Everywhere Mrs. Davis has found
Massachusetts educators heartily in
sympathy. In the towns teachers were
eager for all possible help. In Leomins-
ter the school superintendent and school
board cooperated with the Union in plans
for Mrs. Davis work. All the grades in
the general schools were called together,
with superintendent and school board
and teachers present. Then the super
intendent took Mrs Davis in carriage
to second school, where the children
were all gathered in the assembly room,
and still a third meeting was held in the
High school room. Again in the even
ing reception was given, at which Mrs.
Davis addressed the teachers, who ex-
pressed their interest and appreciation
by attending en- masse. Mrs. Davis will
visit other New England States, intro
ducing the teachers training course in S.
T. |. and temperance and essay work.

A SONG FOR TEDDY.

[Tune-Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!1
have worried long and steady
For the safety of our Teddy
After starting on the journey he intends.
Yet how sweet will be our meeting,
And sincere our kindly greeting,
If we welcome him again to home and friends
When he sails across the ocean,
Where the pillows keep in motion,
We do pray that he will safely anchor there
And our wants shall never tire him,
But we always will admire him
If he only brings US home a Teddy bear
Let us hope he won't get bottled
Nor by savage lions throtted
While searching after shinos in the east,
For when he feels like fighting
He would never think of sighting
challenge from Old Nick saint or beast
Do not think that he is railing
Orhis mental strength is failing;
He is growing daily wiser in his head,
And he hopes when reelected
That his wants will be respected
Though we have another Congress nearly
dead.
When we hear he is returning
We will keep our lights burning
And our bands playing Yankee doodledoo,
For when he ceases fighting
And gets settled down to writing
He will timber nearly large enough for two
Chorus.
Hark! bark! bark! the beasts are roaring,
Stand firm Teddy, when they.come,
And aim straight at every shot
Or they'll eat you on the spot
And your comrades will be crying you were
dumb. G. H. F.

A RIDDLE FROM CALIFORNIA.
Can ANY Reader of The Journal Guess II

Can ANY Reader of The Journal Guess It?
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: A
friend of mine, Mr.. c. P. Lawrence, has
composed riddle which he says he has
had but one person give it the correct
answer. Thinking that perhaps some of
the readers of The Journal would like to
have a guess at it, herewith inclose it
to you, and if you conclude to give it a
place in The Journal will send you the
answer a little later on.

Los Angeles, Cal.
AR1DDLE BY C. P. LAWRENCE.
God made Adam out of dust
But thought it best to make me first;
So l was made before the man
To answer Gods most holy plan.
My body He didmake complete
But without legs or arms or feet.
My ways and actions He did control
For was made without a soul.
A loving being became
And Adam gave to me name;
Then from his presence l withdrew
And never more of Adam knew.
My makers laws did obey
And from them never went astray.
Thousands of miles l went in fear,
But seldom on the earth appear,
But God in me did something see,
He put living soul in me.
A son of man my God did claim
And took from me that soul again
And when that soul from me had fled
| was the same as when first made
And without legs or arms or soul
| travel now from Pole to Pole.
l labor hard both day and night
To fallen man l give great light.
Thousands of people both young and old
Will by my death great light behold.
The Scriptures | cannot believe,
If right or wrong cannot perceive.
Although therein my name is found
They are to me an empty sound;
To heaven then cannot go,
Nor to the grave or He'll below.
And now dear friends when these lines you read
Go search the Bible with all speed,
And if my name you do not find there
You have not searched right, do declare.
