Setting an Orchard,

When setting an orchard. remember
to leave plenty of space lat least 20
feet, on the outer edges-to allow Of
ample room to turn the team, the har-
row o. the wagon. Don't make the
mistake of crowding trees too closely
together. Apples should not be closer
than IS OF 40 feet apart, pears 20
or Is feet; peaches and plums about
20 feet; cherries (sour) 16 to Is feet;
cherries (swee), 20 to 25 feet;
ounces, IL feet.

two miles north Of the lighthouse that
stands at the entrance of the harbor
here.
The new station is equipped with the
Telefunken system and has guaran-

actual working range lis far greater
as evinced by the fact that during the
trials recently conducted communica-
tion was readily established with the

more than 1000 miles distant. Mes
sages are relayed between Amaralina
and Bahia by an overland telegraph

TIGHT COLLAR CAUSES
INJURY TO SPINE
Hague Physician Excuses the
WearerS of COrsets

DR.. c. H. Strait of The Hague says
that clothing should be so modified as
TO prevent pressure upon the delicate
parts of the body. and to permit Of
free action of the skin and unrestricted
movement Bad as the ordinary corset
is, he thinks the wearing of a tight
collar or a heavy weight upon the
shoulders is more Injurious.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
persons have curvature of the spine
(scoliosis) to a greater or less degree.
This condition is the direct result of
the constant down pulling pressure of
the tightly buttoned waistcoat and the
unyielding coat collar upon the plastic
tissues. The pressure of the corset is
mainly at the waist. This permits of
comparatively free action Of the upper
ribs. AS a matter of fact, women in
general stand, walk and breathe more
correctly than men.
The tendency of women to take up
golf and bicycle riding has had a good
influence in compelling them TO wear
lighter corsets and fewer underclothes
