Constipated all His Life
Now Cured Trial Free

One of the most harrassing of trou-
bles, though fortunately not fatal, is
constipation, and millions of people
suffer with it from infancy to old age.
Its cause may be traced to any one of
a dozen different circumstances OF
diet, environment and even birth.
Millions are practically born with
constipation. Had they used intelligent
methods at the beginning perhaps they
would have found relief. but they had
the usual misfortune of bad advice
They tried dieting. stewed fruits. then
laxative waters. then pills and various
other cathartics, and so in the end
made matters worse. But there is still
hope, even for the seemingly hopeless.

came particeps crimini in the tragedy
that followed, our conception as TO
how the affair had originated was
immature and crude. However, that

boost the proceedings along to de

lists by nature and boosters by trade.
Later on, however. we learned that
the matter had had its inception in
the dim past and somewhat to-wit:
For years old Peckaway Strong had
been the sole possessor of the Gold

stream of nuggets, while down in

during a that time Peck and Wash
had kept on pecking and washing
and sailing away their rake-off in
a satisfied silence until, at the time
their long-standing friendship blew
up, each had cached away pile
of the yellow1boys that would have
made the gold specie department Of

full of brass filings. Then came the
beginning of their grief,
Instead OF remaining meek and
lowly, as befits those upon whom
blind Fortune has become unduly
smitten, as their bank rolls swelled
and grew, rivalry and jealousy sprang
up in their bosoms rank as fungus
In a swamp. There came a time
when the mere sight Of one another
curdled the last drop OF milk OF
human kindness in their bosoms and
clogged their veins with hate and
loathing. Then one day they met
and fought.
1t was an uncanny exhibition OF
hate and incompetence. filled with
weird swipes and swopes and pic
turesque posings, while the adject-
ives they used smelled as If they

habits and requirements.
ga large and strong growing rose
usually requires some two or three
years after planting to reach its full
size, and it is therefore during those
first years that the plant has to be
built up, and its framework, as it
we're, formed.
'All roses the first time after plant
ing should be pruned severely, that is
to say, they should be cut down to
within three or four inches of the
ground. Even in the case Of strong
growing climbing varieties only the
strongest shoot should be left more
than one foot in length.
Crosses planted in the autumn should
be pruned in the following spring, and
if planted in the spring should be
pruned at the time of planting.
"After the first year they should be
pruned in accordance with the in
structions which follow:

a great extent to perpetual Towering

The National Rose Society, of Eng
land, includes in it's membership the
leading rosarians, not only of Great
Britain but also of the world at large.
The growth Of the Society in recent
years has been almost phenomenal,
indicating thereby the rapidly grow
ing interest in the cultivation of the
queen of flowers. AS late as 1900 the
membership was only about six
hundred, while at this writing some
four thousand rosarians, professionals
and amateurs, are recorded in its
archives.
From it's handbook we quote how to
prune roses
"The following general directions
and explanations should be carefully
read before proceeding to carry out
the instructions afterwards given, or
the reader may fail to grasp the mean
ing they are intended to convey.
1.-The late Rev. A. Foster Melliar
i'm his Book of the Rose, pointed
out that the necessity for pruning
arises in great measure from the
natural growth of the rose. BY
Watching, he said, IAN unpruned rose
tree, either wild or cultivated, it will
be found that the first strong shoot
flowers we'll the second season, but
gets weaker at the extremity in year
or two, and another strong shoot
starts considerably lower down, or
even from the very base Of the plant,
and thus soon absorbs the majority Of
the sap, and will eventually starve
the original shoot and be itself thus
starved in succession by another.
A rose in natural state has thus every
year some branches which are becom-
ing weakened by the fresh young
shoots growing out below them. This
is one of the principal reasons why
pruning is necessary. A rose is not
a tree to grow EDWARDS and upwards,
but a plant which in the natural
course every year or two forms fresh
channels for the major portion of the
sap, and thus causes the branches and
twigs above the new shoots to dimin
ish in vitality.
''This being the case, in order to
maintain the strength of the plant
and to keep it in the shape required,
the wornout shoots must each year

Growing Asters Successfully.

These popular ANIMALS are gaining
in popularity every year and they
we'll deserve it for they are one of our
most beautiful ANIMALS. In our grad
mothers garden they were known as
Queen Marquerites; during recent
years great advances have been made
in beauty, size and perfection of the
blossoms. Persons not acquainted
with these advances would hardly
recognize the newer varieties when
pared to the older sorts especially
when they are grown according to the
latest methods, indeed professional
florists have been deceived by mistak-
ing we'll grown asters for chrysan-
themums.
One of the secrets to success in
growing asters to perfection is that
the plants should make steady growth
from the time the seedlings come up
until the buds are formed; they are
very susceptible to sudden changes, a
high temperature is at no time desir-
able, about 90 degrees suiting them
best.
Asters are rank feeders and liberal
quantity of we'll rotted manure should
be applied, also water during dry
weather. If the soil is rich and deep
~ worked it will have a tendency to
cause the roots to go deeper for their
r hn
and temperature Of the soil is more
even a few inches from the top the
plants will not be SO quickly affected
by changes of weather or drought.
Asters reach their greatest perfec-
ton during cool weather and we
should, therefore, SOW the seed SO as
to have the plants blossom before or
after the hot summer months.
For early flowers SOW the seed of an
early variety indoors or in hotbed
in March or early in April; SOW the
seed in fine soil and cover lightly by
sitting some fine soil over the seed.
Give just enough water so that the
soil is moist for if the ground is too
wet the plants will be apt to damp
off. When the second pair of leaves
is we'll started transplant into other
boxes or beds to stand two inches
apart where they may grow until
time to set out into the garden which
is usually about the beginning of May.
For late or fall towering the seed

crowded, or otherwise useless shoots.
Unripe wood which in the spring will
usually be found to have discolored
pith caused by the winter frosts
should be cut clean away at the base
of the shoots. (2)-Pruning proper,
the shortening Of these shoots which
are allowed to remain after the thin
ming out process has been completed.
''The most frequent errors made in
pruning are ~ leaving too many
shoots when thinning out; ~ pruning
severely the shoots of varieties which
require little, if any, shortening; (3)
pruning lightly the varieties which
require severe pruning; AZ leaving
rose plants crowded with shoots and
cutting these to uniform length all
over the plant in a similar way that a
hedge is clipped.
"In thinning out shoot it should
be either cut clean away to the base
of the plant, or to it's starting point
on the older shoots from which it
springs. as the case may be. When
the plant has been pruned the shoots
should be left as nearly as possible
equidistant from each other, and
regularly arranged round it SO that it
represents we'll balanced appearance
on all sides.
"When pruning a shoot it should
always be cut to dormant leaf bud,
or eye, as it is called, pointing out
wards. In order to keep the plants
in a healthy and vigorous condition,
some of the shoots which are more
than two years old should each year
be removed to make room for younger
and more vigorous growths.
Crosses require to be somewhat
differently pruned according to the
purpose for which they are grown.
For instance, shoots must be cut back
severely if the plant be required for
the production of exhibition roses,
but if for ordinary garden decoration
the shoots must be left longer; if to
form bushes they must be left still
