A GREAT ADVANTAGE
TO WORKING MEN

j. A. Maple, 125 S. 7th,St., Stu
benville. O., says: "For years
suffered from weak kidneys and a
severe bladder trouble, I learned
of Foley's Kidney Pills and their
wonderful cures so | began taking
them and sure enough Iihad as good
results as any | heard about. My
backache left me and to one of my
business, expressman, that alone is
a great advantage. My kindeys
acted free and normal and that
saved me lot of misery. It now
a pleasure to work where it used to
be misery. Foley's Kidney Pills

PRUNING HOOK IS HOMEMADE

The pain of scratches and picks
comes readily TO ones Imagination as
be thinks of pruning the raspberry
bushes or other bush fruits, especially
where he has not had good tools for
performing the job, says the Michigan
Farmer. The work is so miserable
that it is generally left undone The
illustrated pruning hook will help to
overcome many of the undesirable fea-
lures connected with cleaning out of
the hills on these fruits. The hook
is used for cutting those canes that
can be hooked, and for this purpose
the inner edge of the hook is made
sharp. while the spud is for ampu-
tating such canes as happen to stand
close to another that is to be left or is
otherwise situated that the hook can
not be used. The spud cuts the cane
nearer the ground than can be done
with the hook. Both are, however.
very necessary for complete imple-
ment. Besides its use in cutting, the
hook is convenient In pulling the
pruned canes from among the stand
ing ones into the row where they can
be gathered and taken from the plan

STILL IN HIS POSSESSION
Remarkable Coincidence In Sum ~
Money That Rastus Had In
Ai0 Pocket.

RAstus was on trial, charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-five
cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, As
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up strong
plea in defense, and Rastus was &C
quilted.
Counsel and clier' met a few min
utes later outside the court room
Nov, Rastus," said Clearem,
you know the court allows the
counsel very little for defending this
kind OF case. worked hard for you
and got you clear. I'm entitled to
much more pay than I'm getting for
my valuable services, and you should
dig up a good-sized fee. Have you got
any money!"
Yes, boss" replied Rastus, Il done

tation. The implement is made
of the handle of a short-handled forh
and two old files. The files are forged
to make the hook and spud and riv
eted together as shown in the illus
tration. The end opposite the spud is
shaped to fl into the handle where
1t is firmly secured in order to stand
the strain necessary in the work tc
be done Armed with such tool and
a good pair of gloves one can &c
about the canes, cut out the undesir
able ones and get them out of the
way without suffering the hardships
encountered when endeavoring to dc
the work with jack knife. The next
rainy day go to your own forge, every
farmer should have one, or If not pro
vided, TO your blacksmith and have g
hook made. Then, when the rainy
day is over and you can get into the
berry patch, see how well the hook
does the dreaded job.

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety Of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time l was a coffee
drtnker l was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting 2 or days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this afflictlon was added, some
years ago, a trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by a smothoIing sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. l took all sorts of pat
ent medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time.
THE doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee l felt as If | had no
breakfast | finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of cof-
fee entirely, and as had read a great
deal about Postum | concluded to try
that for breakfast beverage.
Il liked the taste OF 1t and was par.
ucularly pleased to notice that it did
not come up as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and have not had an at
tack of sick headache for more than a
year. My digestion is good, too. and
| am thankful that | am once more a
healthy woman. / know my wonder
full restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum. &"
Name given by the Postum Co, Battle
Greek, Mich.
There's a reason" and Il is this.
Coffee has a direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches, constipation and final.
ly a change of the blood corpuscIes
and nervous prostration.

with the stronger tones, as there is a
lack OF harmony between them.
Asters can be planted in rows Of
white and lavender, with very pleas
Ing results, provided the same kind is
used in each row.
Ribbon beds would become monot-
onously tiresome If we were to con-
fine ourselves to them, therefore 1t is

lavender, if asters are used, then a

This arrangement of colors can
be varied to suit individual taste.

heightened, as these plants bring a
mass of foliage and bloom down to
the ground, and hide the tall stalks

Personally / am not much OF an
Admirer Of carpet or ribbon bedding
or the designs" which the enthusi.
astic amateur gardener frequently at
tempts, but is pretty sure to abandon
later In the season, because he discov-
ers that designs work out unsatis-
factorily In ANNALS.
The fact ia. carpet bedding plants
are only effective when certain kinds
of foliage plants are used because
they can be kept within their proper
limits by shearing and pruning, while
the ANNALS have too much sprawl"
to be tractable and very few kinds
give a sufficient mass of bloom to
produce the desired effect
We are likely to think that because
a plant has yellow, red or blue flow
ers. that 1t will prove effective wher-
ever these colors are desired, but we
lose sight OF the fact that the flow
ers will be 30 few in number and 50
Tar apart that there is seldom any
Solid color effect such as Is necessary
In properly working out patterns.
This being the case, only the sim
pier designs should be attempted with
ANNALS, and only such effects aimed
at, as can be produced by contrast in
which harmony plays an important
part.
Ribbon beds are easiest OF all to
make. Very pleasing ones can be
made with pink, pale yellow, and
white phlox, planted in rows. If
darker colors are preferred the scar
let and crimson can be used, always
combining them with white to give
the necessary contrast and relief.
Do not use the soft, delicate colors

Bird Jekyil and HYDE.

The catbird Is our northern mock
Ing bird. When love attunes it's voice
1t can MARBLE as sweetly as the night
ingale. You must catch it in one OF
its melting moods If you would know
the charm of its liquid notes. 1t "a
not at all beautiful-no more is the
hooking bird - only gray-brown,
perky, restless thing, of lesser size
than the robin, with the soul of song
In It,
The wonder of the catbird lies, of
course, in this, its dual nature. At one
time 1t hops about screeching com
plants against the circumambent air;
at another there throbs out from its
delicate throat the essence Of divine
melody. Press.

PLANNING FLOWER GARDEN
REQUIRES CAREFUL STUDY
Carpet Bedding Plans Only
Of Foliage Are Used-Ribbon Beds Are
" y Easiest OF All to Make.

A very brilliant combination IL
made by filling the center of a circu
lar bed with calliopsis, rich yellow
and maroon, and surrounding 1t with
white and pale yellow phlox.
The contrast between the dark, rich
yellow OF the calliopsis and the softer
shade OF the same color in the phlox
Is charming
If another color seems advisable
use pink phlox. This harmonizes
beautifully with the stronger tones Of
the calliopsis.
The center OF a circular bed can be
filled with scarlet saliva, with mas
turtiums as q border. The contrast
between the fiery scarlet and the rich
tones of yellow and orange and sui
phur found in the latter plant, is ex-
ceedingly lovely, while the pea-green
foliage Of the nasturtium affords just
the right amount of that color TO
bring into strong relief the blossoms
Of both plants. Such a bed any ono
can make with very little trouble.
A charming hedge is made by plant
ing scarlet saliva in row as back
ground, then a row Of white nicotiana,
with blue ageratum as border. Here
we have the patriotic colors OF our
flag effectively combined.
The blue Of the ageratum and the
scarlet of the saliva would prove .
rather violent contrast If planted next
each other, but separated by the white
of the nicotiana, their aggressiveness
Is toned down in such a manner as to
produce pleasing effect.
A beautiful hedge is made by using
zinnias In the back row, then calliop
sis with white phlox as border.
Ribbon beds can be worked out
with good effect by using different
colors of the verbena in rows. Such
beds are most pleasing when near the
house or close to the path, where they
can be looked down upon.
| But in order to carry out such de-
signs with this flower, 1t will be neces-
sary to purchase plants of each
color from the florist, who grows them
from cuttings. Seedlings are quite
sure to bring plants of all coIors COM
mon to the family, therefore, are not
to be depended upon where it Is abso-
lutely necessary to have each color
in its proper place.
Those who have old plants of gera-
mum. which have been kept over the
winter in the house. can utilize them
in the summer by planting them out.
ItOf course the effect will be most
pleasing If the pinks and scarlets and
crimsons can be kept by themselves,
Try combining them with such an.
nuals as white phlox, yellow calliop-
sis, white nicotiana, or, In the case Of
pink sorts, lavender ageratum
If you have odd plants of Madam
Salleroi geranium, break them apart
and use the cuttings so secured, for
/ border purposes. Each cutting will
be almost sure to take root.
Put them in the ground where they
are to grow, about eight inches apart,
pinching the soil firmly about the base
of each. In six weeks time, they Will
have made a fair showing, and by
midsummer they will have grown to-
gether in a most attractive row OF
green and white. This Is one of ouI
best edging plants.

1t is not advisable to put axle

vent rabbits and rodents from gnaw,
ing them. A little grease might not
do any damage, while too much might

permits some green crop. such as
oats. rye or wheat, will tempt the
