feature of this picture. and the trees.
shrubbery and grass should serve as
the framework and background to set
1t off
To secure this effect there are GER
tain simple suggestions which may be
followed. First of all, we should have
an open front For the area imme-
diately in front of the buildings there
is nothing so appropriate as well
kept piece Of lawn. and this area
should be kept entirely free of flower
beds, shrubbery or other planting.
The major portion of the planting of
either trees or shrubbery should be
along the sides or what Is termed
flank planting" The hooks and cor
ners about the base Of the buildings
serve as excellent places for low grow
ing shrubs such us the bridal wreath
border should be set about two and
one-half feet apart so as to form a
thick, compact mass. In this way the
effect Is much better than where they
are scattered so that each one stands
out as distinct individual and. on
the other hand. is much more con-
venient at moving time. being grouped
into solid clump. In the planting Of
shrubbery avoid any stiff geometrical
arrangement. Place some of the
shrubs farther out than others. so that
the front line is prominent at certain
points and recedes at others. You can
also secure variation by giving some
kinds arranging so that the bed will
be low in some places and higher at
others. thus giving wavy sky line.
In selecting list Of Towering shrub
berry one must be guided largely by
local conditions. as the varieties which
are perfectly hardy in one section may
prove worthless in another. There are
two points. however, which should be
observed for all sections. Select only
hardy, vigorous varieties. Tender and
half sickly plants always detract from
the appearance Of place and are not
worth worrying with. The second
point tn observe is to select varieties
which will provide successive bloom
periods. Some shrubs. such as the
Siberian almond and the June berry.
blossom before the SHOWS are scarce
ly past. so that one may have con-
.inuation of bloom or floral calendar
from then to the first frosts Of au-
tumn. Even for the winter period
there are certain kinds which are
especially desirable for their winter
effects. The bright red bark Of the
Siberian dogwood or red hips or ber-
lies Of the japanese rose and the fruit
Of the wahoos are excellent examples
Of this class.

ground has frozen. its purpose being
to keep it frozen until danger from
late frosts is past. The removal Of the
mulch should be delayed until growth
begins under it. Pine needles make an
ideal mulch. Straw may be used.
In arranging the varieties care
should be exercised to secure color
harmony on the one hand and contrast
on the other. Color combinations are
largely a matter Of individual taste.
Some prefer the entire bed of one
color.
Early in June the tops turn yellow

Symptoms Of Inflammatofy Rheu-

Tried the Right
Remedy.

Almost any pain or ache which cannot
readily be accounted for is usually CLASH
fed al rheumatism. Some of these are
transient and cure themselves.
An actual attack of rheumatism is
very difficult to cure SO that it will stay
cured. Ordinary treatment aims only
to relieve the pain until the attack wears
itself out. Then it is liable to occur
again and usually does, year after year.
The only lasting cure is secured by
driving the rheumatic poison from the
system and building up the blood SO that
the disease is prevented from obtaining
. new foothold
Mr.. Frank Thornburgh, a prominent
farmer, of r. f. d. No. 8, Indianola,
Iowa, says:
II was sufferer from infammatory
rheumatism for eighteen years. The
disease followed a cold when I was
about twelve years old and grew worse
each year until it finally crippled my
ankles. The pains started in the cords
of my neck, went to my hips and knee
joints and at last settled in my ankles.
Both of my ankles were SO swollen that
could not walk for some time. The
pains, which We're constant, would shoot
from my ankles to my toes and it often
seemed that could not stand them.
could not get good nights sleep and
was often confined to bed for weeks.
