the common pimple, cut, scald, boil or
sore, to carbuncles, felons, eczema,
erythema, herpes, BARRIERS itch, psori-

THE PROPER CARE OF PLANTS
THAT ARE KEPT IN THE HOUSE

One OF the chief causes of poor plants
is the jardiniere. Flower pots are porous.
and for a reason. Jardinieres are glazed
and II plants are placed in them there
is no way for the surplus water to escape
or for evaporation to take place, and the
earth soon becomes sour and unfit for
plant food. II a jardiniere is used for
ornamental purposes it should be suffi-
ciently large to allow at least one-half
inch space between it and the plant-pot.
and the pot should rest on a block of
wood or brick so that any surplus water
will not come in contact with the pot.
II 4 is necessary to leave plants un-
cared for for a few days or a week II
may be done without injury by placing
some old-fashioned building bricks in Il
tub OF water so that the water just comes
to the tops Of the bricks and place a pot
on each brick. The bricks are porous
and will absorb water, and the pot In
turn will absorb a certain amount of
moisture from the bricks. or course, this
method of watering will not answer for
any great length of time and only serves
for an emergency absence where plants
must be left uncared for for a short time.
Wet Feet Injurious.
Do not let a plant stand in a saucer
Of water No plant. not aquatic, will
grow we'll with it's feet in water con-
stantly.
Do not chill plants by opening a win
dow directly upon them in cold weather.
Plants require fresh air. but should be
protected from chill.
Do not place too near the window in
winter or allow the leaves to rest against
the window pane where they are likely to
be touched by the frost.
Do not put oil on the leaves of rubber
plants or palms. 1t will fill up the pores
of the leaves and injure the plant. If a
particularly glossy appearance is desired,
put a little milk in water and sponge
the leaves carefully.
II palms have a tendency to grow out

to keep the surface roots covered 1t

GASOLINE HAS MANY
GOOD QUALITIES

A can of gasoline in the kitchen for
cleaning purposes will be found q great
help II ordinary care is exercised against
fire. To clean the gas stove, soak the
jets in a little gasoline, and it will re-
move all dirt and do away with any
odor from the gas range, or scrub the
Jets with a little brush dipped in gaSo-
line.
To clean copper or aluminium cooking
utensils, soak a cloth in gasoline and rub
on the outside of the vessel; this will
remove all black or dIscoloration on the
metal.
For grease marks or dirty spots on
woodwork, a little gasoline applied with
a cloth will remove at once.
II the drain in the sink becomes stop

pour in a pint OF more gasoline and let

that way, and no harm will come. By
repOtting too deep decay may be caused.
= Put plants out in the summer rain as
much as possible. but be sure It is a
warm rain. Do not subject plant to a
sudden change of temperature by taking
it from a very warm room and putting It
into a cold rain.
An eastern exposure is the best for
plants. I have never found any plants
that do very we'll in a north window, ex-
Cept, perhaps, the agave and the Aspidls-
ira, and possibly the primrose. Even my
ferns and palms do much better in an
eastern light. Plants vary in regard to
the amount OF sun they require. Hor-
ticulturists tell us to keep palms and
ferns entirely out of the sun, but I have
found that the early morning sun, say
up to 10 o'clock, is beneficial rather than
detrimental Certainly neither palms nor
ferns should be put in the strong sum-
mer sun nor close to window where the
winter sun will shine upon the glass and
burn them.
II plants are desired for ornament
in shady corners it is best to have two
plants so that one may be half Of the
time in a strong light. A plant will soon
die II left in a dark part of the room for
more than two days at a time.
Geraniums and rubber plants require
considerable sun.
Test that Is Sure.
If plants are of good color, retain their
foliage and put forth a certain amount
of new growth, you may know that the
care they have been receiving is all they
require. Such plants need no especial
attention besides the weekly sprinkling
and the daily watering, &c. until 1t is
time to repOt them in the spring.
But II the leaves are a pale color, with
the ends dry and brown, or brown spots
appear here and there on the leaves, or
the leaves drop OFF, you may know some
thing Is wrong. The plant has had either
too little or too much water; II has been
placed in too strong a sun; It is root
bound: there are worms in the soil that
are feeding on fine tender roots; or other
parasites are destroying the vitality of
the plant.
