LESS ExTRAvAGANCE.
Bank Statistics Show That People
Still Save Money.

diligence in all sorts of luxuries. could

with the reservation at least of combining
TINS Wasteful Extravaganza to the newly

country has its share. Statistics pub

per cent. of all the accumulated savings
of the world. The average deposit is
SoS1.2S. In the rest of the world the
average deposit is but s101.66. One out
of every American has a nest egg saved
up for rainy day whereas one out of
every eight is the average in all of the

PREPARING GARDEN SOIL.
A Good Compost Heap Is Gardeners
Most Precious Possession.

Every garden should have its compost
heap, where manure is piled up to decay.
Turn it over occasionally. If 1t smokes
or steams turn it over at once and wet
1t with the hose Slow decay Is wanted
not hot fermentation. A good compost
heap is a gardeners most precious pos
session.
If your soil is stiff heavy clay or
hard pan, then you must have patience
and perseverance. Break it up with a
SPADE il your back is strong, otherwise
substitute laborer. Work into the
ground at the same time all the fresh
horse manure you can. Leave the ground
rough and let the manure rot. This both
mechanically and chemically will help
break the soil. When rotted. spade it
again and if it is in reasonably fine con-
dition. planting may be done
In obstonate soils it may be necessary
to repeat this process or to let the
ground lie rough over winter for the
frost to work upon. Frost is great
pulverizer of clay soils when spaded or
ploughed up roughly. Never work clay
soil when wet or sticky.
Some plants like Golden Glow and mas
turtiums do best in light soil without
any manure. Roses like a clay soil and
it Is hardly possible to give them too
much manure provided 1t is not too close
to the roots when first planted

This is one of the best prepare
lions made by the American Drug
gists Syndicate at its laboratory
in New York, and it has proved to
be the greatest tonic for the hair
over compounded by modern phar
macy. s.
1t is guaranteed to contain moth
ing that is in any way injurious to
the hair or scalp. but is simply
scientific preparation which, when
faithfully applied. does away with
dandruff, cleanses and heals the
scalp, strengthens the roots, slim
ulates the growth and adds beauty
and lustre to dull, dry, lifeless hair
which is fading in color and slowly
dropping out.
A. ID. s. Hair Reviver aims to
prevent badness by removing the
disease germs which affect the
roots and vitality of the hair. In
short it revives. 1t acts as a nour-
ishment as well as a germicidc.
and has a tendency to produce a
thick head of beautiful hair, full
OF life and color, which greatly
adds to the attractiveness of any
man or woman.
A. ID. S. Hair Reviver is not an
experimental is not an ordinary
mixture Of merely pleasant smell
ing ingredients-it is not a wash
which removes the dirt AID grease
and stops there. but it is medici-
nal remedy which protects the hair
through its antiscptic action upon
the very roots and scalp In which
they grow. and it is sold to you by
the $4,000 responsible druggists
who compose the A. ID. S., with the
distinct understanding that if it
disappoints you your money will
be promptly refunded.
You can get A. D. S. Hair Re-
viver at any \. d. S. drug store.
