A WORD ABOUT oLEoMARaARlNE

Federal laws lately passed wisely
place restriction on the sale of oleo-
margarine as a counterfeit of dairy
butter. This is just common decency
and honesty. 1t should not be palmed
off OH the public as dairy product.
On the other hand. It is only fair to
say in behalf of the manufacturers and
retailers of oleomargarine that when it
sails under it's own colors and is sold
honestly for what it is largely beef
fat--no serious objection can be urged
against it. as it is a clean and whole
some food product. For a large class
of people who this year find them
selves in straitened financial circum-
stances oleomargarine will doubtless be
extensively used as substitute for the
genuine dairy product, which is thus
early in the season retailing for bet
ter than so cents per pound and con-
sidering the high price of feed may be
close to 40 cents before spring.

GROWING THE AzALEA.

The hardy azaleas cultivated in
English gardens and now receiving
the attention Of cultivators both in
Europe and this country. originated
from the Mediterranean AZalea ponti-
ca, the North American and the Chi
nese and Japanese aZalcas. These
nave been much intercrossed and the
respective types are now connected by
so many intermediate forms that it is
not easy to classify them under their
respective species.
they were first popularity known as
American nZaleaS and subsequently,.
after they had received much atten-
ton In Belgium, became known as
Client aZaleas Now they are being
cultivated so largely in Japan that
they are frequently termed Japanese
azaleas. A collective term for them is
hardy hybrid azaleas. Turkey has a
beautiful native azalea, which is in
the form Of a deciduous shrub with
brilliant yellow flowers. You often
read Of this beautiful flower in de-
scriptions of Turkey
Our native azalea, with its wealth of
bloom, varying in tint from white to
blush pink, rose, red and scarlet, is
suggestive both in shape and color
and also in fragrance of the honey
suckle, under which name, with the
prefix wild, it is commonly known
While the wild azaleas are not as
strikingly brilliant as the ones the
florists offer us, they possess q fra
GRANGE and delicacy that we find en-
tirely lacking In the cultivated ones
AS the white honeysuckle another
American species (AZalea viScosa) is ia
miliarly known in its native home,
where 1t is chiefly found in swamps
near the coast in the northern and
eastern states. This materially differs
from the other varieties Of native aZa-
leas in that it produces It's flowers aft
err the leaves have fully expanded,
and, though the plant is beautiful, it
does not present such n mass of color
ing as the other varieties. The shades
have not SO wide I: range, being con-
fined to white or yellow with rosy
tinSc, but the flowers are borne in
large tufts and are very fragrant
Some Of the Japanese azaleas have
been cultivated to Il great extent, and
some OF these varieties at the present
time excel, all others in size of the in
dividual flowers; but, as is the case
with all the cultivated varieties, they
are entirely lacking In fragrance
However, they are extremely hand
some and are imported by the many
thousands for the Easter season.
When ono purchases an aznlea from
the florist it is usually in the height
of its beauty, being n mass Of bloom
Now, the thing desired Is to keep it
in this condition rs long as possible
In order to do this keep the plant in
as cool place as possible and we'll

WARNING TO MOTHERS.

To Have Beautiful Ears Begin With
the Baby. 81
The ear is such very sensitive,
complex organ that the greatest care
should be taken in any kind of treat
ment which 1t has to undergo, even in
the necessary cleansing operations.
The formation of wax in the ears Is
often very troublesome, and If it be-
comes hard some drops Of warm oil
should be poured into the ear at night
and little cotton wool inserted. This
Will soften the wax, which can then
easily be removed next day by syring-
ing with soapy liquid. The syring-
Ing. however, requires to be done with
very great care, lest the stream of wa
ter should be projected with too great
violence and thus injure the drum of
the ear.
Children's ears should be treated
much more gently than they often are
by nurses. The very common habit of
twisting up towel into sharp point
and inserting it in the ear to clean it is
very dangerous one and should never
be practiced, us the sharp point may
penetrate too far. Only the softest
rags should be used for cleaning the
ears and nothing hard ever inserted be-
yond certain distance. In China and
Japan ladies' remove the wax with an
ear scoop. which, however has n bead
fixed at proper distance to prevent
the instrument penetrating too far.
1t Is almost as rare to see perfectly
shaped, small ears, lying close and fiat
to the head, as to see n perfect nose
Precautions should be taken with in
fants to prevent them rolling the car
back when asleep, a habit which re
suits in the ears standing right out
from the head. a light bandage over
the ears when child is put to bed
Will obvinte any chance of this occur
ring, and care should also be taken
when dressing them to go out that
bonnets and caps are not allowed to
get behind the ears and so force them
out from the head. @.- ~
Nothing Is more distressing than
singing in the ears which is usually
due to defect Of the middle eur. A
cooling application to the back Of the
head and neck will sometimes relieve
these symptoms, but it is often due to
the accumulation Of wax to which we
have already alluded.
Deafness is, due to so many causes
that an aurist should be consulted on
the very first symptoms, as something
may possibly be done at the@beginning
to cure the evil. y
The possession Of an external ear
shell is shared with us by the higher
anthropoid apes. Our ape progenitors
were provided with muscular ap-
paratus, by which the ear could be
turned to all sides and erected in order
to hear and guard against enemies
Many animals, such as horses, dogs
and rabbits, can prick their ears. Al
though man still possesses these mus
Giles. they are now uninportant, but
some people still occasionally have the
power of moving the ear backward
and forward, but are unable to erect it,

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

One of the simplest and best cures
for enlarged pores is to use Il scrub
bling brush and pure soap. With this
treatment the pores are freed from the
clogged secretions and gradually be-
come normal!
Habitually eating soft foods, to the
exclusion of everything that is hard
or crusty, will not only weaken the
digestive organs, but will lead to rapid
decay of the teeth When these are
not used in the mastication of harder
foods they become weak. just as any
muscle will that is not given sufficient
work to do. This applies especially to
growing. healthy children.
However harmless curling irons may
seem. they are ruinntion If used much
1t is undoubtedly true that once in
awhile they are harmless and become
less likely to cause dryness if the
metal is warm and not hot. The
trouble is that the irons arc not so
effective unless the degree of heat is
rather great, and this means an imme-
date drying of the natural oils and
consequent dizziness and brcaka ge.
