WOMEN LIFE SAVERS TEACHING

''Every one. young, oil or middle

age enough.
THE women OF the Life-Saving Corps
have offered their services TO the city
free OF charge. They are willing, and
do. visit the floating and municipal
baths belonging to the city, spending
their time teachiNg the public how to
swim and how to rescue a drowning
person. Last year nearly three thou

In their lives became expert swimmers
before the end OF the season. one old
man. sixty-four years OF age, who al
ways dreaded the water for fear he
would drown. asked one of the United
States life savers to teach him to swim.
The man had plenty of courage. All he
needed was q competent teacher beside
him. He now is one OF our best mem
bers and an excellent swimmer,

Successful Uses. of Hotbeds
Simple and Inexpensive to Construct

they are easy of construction and not
SO troublesome as many seem to
think. While their management is
not formidable matter, it should be
stated that the highest success in
growing some of the hotbed crops can
only come after much practice. Still
the beginner can accomplish a great
deal the first year, and the satisfac.
ton that follows having produced
fresh vegetables out OF season or
beautiful flowers earlier than would
otherwise be possible, is ample pay
for the time and thought that have
been expended upon the work, to say
nothing of the money value OF the
things produced. Furthermore, there
are certain crops, such as celery,

successful growing of which demands
that they be always started under
glass. Finally, the work is exceed.

people, furnish pleasant and health.

ties.
AT the outset, it should be distinct.

has different meanings. depending
upon which part of the country it is
being used in For instance, at the ;
North a hotbed is generally under

with lettuce and radishes and per
haps cauliflower. Start a mild hotbed
not later than the middle OF October
for the latitude of Missouri. When
the temperature has come down to
about IS degrees, the lettuce seed

termination can be greatly has
tened by soaking the seed before
planting in lukewarm water for from
twelve to twenty-four hours. This
will cause them to come up in four
days. Place the fats on the beds
and give close attention to the ven
tilation and watering. The soil in
the boxes should be kept moist but
never soaking wet. Since the tenn.
perature must be kept fairly low at
the start, it will be necessary to VEN
tilate the beds during the day while
the sun is shining. The sash may be
raised several inches and propped
with blocks. At nights the beds
should be protected according to the
weather.. If below freezing, it would

pit only eight or ten inches deep, bu
usually, for permanent use, from
eighteen to thirty inches deep. lr
the far south hotbed is simply 9
mass OF fermenting manure enclosed
by frame, but wholly above ground
Again, hotbeds may consist of Ions
double ranges built of wood or brick
and of varying depths; where the
heat from the fermenting manure is
supplemented by warmth from steam
pipes running around the sides of the
bed above ground
AS here used, it is intended that the
discussion shall apply to the COM
moner forms of hotbeds in which the
heat is supplied by fermenting ma
nure. and with pits excavated to such
depth as may be necessary to supply
the required heat for running from
one to two months without renewal.
At the north, pits will have to be
from two and half to three and
half feet deep, while in the latitude
OF Missouri, twelve to eighteen inches
will be sufficient, and farther south
even less. For late fall or early
spring use, temporary beds almost
or wholly above ground may be made
and successfully maintained through
unexpected cold snaps by banking up
the sides with fresh manure and Gov
ering over the sashes with the same
material or with blankets, if desired.
Hotbeds are used for several dis
dnct purposes. First, they are used
for starting from the seed such plants
as cabbage, cauliflower, sweet pota-
toes, tomatoes, ETC., for transplanting
to the open field in the spring or
early summer. Second, for growing
vegetables out Of season; that is.
growing them to maturity in the beds.
This may occupy all the winter, only !
the first part, or only the latter part
Third, for starting plants from the
seeds to be transplanted later to 9TH
er hotbeds or to the garden. This |
part of the work may begin in early
fall, and during midwinter, when an. |
other crop is taken up and carried
through till spring, or it may begin in
fall and last continuously till warm
weather. Under this heading would

ering plants.
A fourth use for the hotbed is for
the roofing Of both soft and half.
ripened wood cuttings, such as roses,
abutilon, lantana, etc.
Also for the growing of many plants
which require little or NO heat, the
cold frame may be used. No sharp
line may be drawn between the hot

mas. The best varieties of lettuce
for forcing are st. Louis Butter and

Early Scarlet Globe and White Tip.
When the lettuce has been harvest
ed, which will be early in January,
clear the ground, smooth the SOIL and
SOW lettuce seed broadcast, mixing
In sprinkling Of radish seed. Keep
the bed cool, and about the middle of
February the seedlings may be trans
planted to a new frame.
The old one that they came out of
may be renewed for this purpose, as
the radishes will have been harvested
before this. With reasonable atten.
ton to watering and ventilation, the
lettuce should thrive and make a good
crop for early spring use.
The beginner had perhaps better
not try to grow caulifower the first
year. If this vegetable is grown in
the hotbeds, the plants should have
been started month or so previous
ly. The cauliflower should be set out
first, setting the plants about eighteen
inches apart each way, and setting
two rows of lettuce in between.
Radishes may be sown between the
lettuce rows. Both the lettuce and
radishes will come out long before
the caulinower has matured. The lat
ter will not be ready for use until
we'll along in April.
Since only about eight cauliflower
plants can be grown in each 3 by 6
sash, it will not be profitable In most
cases to have the ground occupied 30

THE STORY OF JACK AND
THE BEAN STALK.

Jack was the son OF a poor widow. In
fact she was so poor that she had abso'
lutely no money left. She had only an
old COW. and finally decided that she
would have to sell the COW to get money
TO buy food. So she told her son Jack to
take the COW to market and buy food
with the money that he got for the COW.
When Jack got to town he met butcher
who showed him some funny looking
beans that sparkled like diamonds. When
Jack told the butcher that he wanted 10
sell the COW tie butcher offered him the
strange beans and told him that he, did
not know just what was strange about
them, but that they had some wonderful
power So Jack took the beans. gave the
butcher the COW and hurried home to his
mother.
When the poor widow saw that her boy
had gotten only a handful of beans for
the COW she burst into tears. ans taking
the beans from Jack she threw them
angrily out OF the window. That night

when he beheld that the beans had grown

was growing right at his door. He looked

grown, but he could not see the top OF 1T;

Up, up. up he went, until finally he got

told him that giant lived in won

stalk and all the riches the giant mao
really belonged to Jack because the giant
had stolen them from Jacks father. on
Jack started for the giants castle ite
managed TO get In. and the giants wife
pitied him and hid him in an oven. When
the giant came home he said: WIRE,
wife, l smell fresh meat" But she said /:
"Oh, no, my dear; it is only the peopie;
who are in the dungeon" This quoted
the giant, and after supper he told MS
wife to bring out his treasures. she
brought out bags of gold. the wonderful
hen that laid golden eggs and the harp
that played by itself and could talk.
Finally the giant got tired of playing
with his treasures and fell asleep: very
softly Jack got out of the oven and began
10 take the treasures away. He took
them one by one and dropped them down
to the foot Of the bean stalk. At last as
he was carrying off the harp the giant
awoke and started after Jack. Down the
after him. Jack got to the bottom first,
cut down the bean stalk and the giant
came crashing down and was killed.
Now Jack and his mother had lots OF
money, the wicked giant was dead and
they had nothing more to fear.
