HOW TO GAIN HEALTHY FLESH.
The Pendleton Drug Co. Advises Use
OF SamOse.

While thinness may not be dis
ease. yet it is in reality condition
that needs attention. Under the
nourishing power of Samose healthy
natural flesh will soon be attached.
This remarkable flesh-forming food
strengthens the system generally and
builds up the fleshy tissues so that
good. natural plumpness results.
An ounce of flesh is better than a
pound of theory. The Pendleton Drug
Co. believes that the best possible
demonstration of the flesh-forming
powers of Samose is to have it tried
by their customers and to induce them
to use it they offer to pay for the
Samose in case it does not give salts
faction. No stronger proof than this
can be given of their faith in it. They
have seen hundreds who were weak,
thin and scrawny, become plump, ro-
bust and strong, solely through the
use of Samose.

HONORS CIRCUS MAN.

 AMERICAN PIANO PLAYING!
-(Emil Lie'bling)

Since Rubinstein's memorable visit to Amer ca in '.he early seventies, every pianist of note has visited our shores.
 R,rbinstein, the Jupiter Tonans," as Nr. George P. Upton happily names him, represented the colossal ill art. He expanded our ideas as to tho possibilities and grandeur of music and was a pioneer in program mak ng of the sevCrest order His musical anthitheoss, the caustic Hans vOn analytical phase of piano playing. Jos- nffy's performances were a delight to audiences. Under his delft fingers comparatively small compositions were invested with magic charm and ncW meaning, and he revealed to us the value of pianissimo. Anna Meh- liz and Annette Essipoff played bril- lian;ly, but left no lasting impression. The impetuous Teresa Carreno still dominates the concert stage. Her work is always thoroughly legitimate and free from the extravagances which unfortunately character!Zes the per- formanees of other celebrated artists. The playing of Rosenthal, D'Albert. Sauer, Godowsky and Busoni is on so transcendental plane that we marvel, but are not benefited. We see that i. is done but not how. In a class by himself is DePachmann, whose work is positively misleading as far as the student is concerned. His unfortunate personal peculiar.ties on the stage might be tolerated If his performances were based upon sincere artistic convictions.
 Paderewski's public performance has always been distinguished by an excess of force. This was particularly not 'ceable at his last visit. He has done nothing fer the American stu- dent.
 We remember, with pleasure visit to our city by this eminent pianist, teacher, lecturer and composer, Feb. 1909. He appeared in Recital at the Jewish Synagogue, under the auspices of the Musical Coterie. His name not only stands for the best in Mus cal Art, but he is said to have the most remarkable memory of any living be- ing, having the entire piano repertoire of classical music at his finger-tips.

I wish you success in the interesting undertaking of the City Beautiful Club in issuing an edition of the Daily Graphic.
 There are two or three elements of moral duty for which l always look on visiting city and find them sadly tare. One is ,he permanent absence from the streets of all boys engaged in street occupations, such as black ing boots, selling papers, delivering messages and merchandise, by day or by night.
 Another is the universal closing of stores and other places of bus ness on Sunday and during every evening or the week after six o'clock It is as- tonishing how few American cities are beautiful in the evening, in the sense that their streets, busy by day. sug- gast in the evening the idea of rest and recreation for all the people. In New York c ty for instance, although the great .depaT' 'ment stores close reg ularly at 5 30 or o'clock, the little newspabys, the messenger boys, and the girls carrying home packages for drcssmakers and milliners prOlOng their working day, and disturb the minds of all who understand what the city streets and late hours mean for them in the way both of weaTiness and temptation.

 Why do we not have the old-fash- toned peony more? It requires almost m cultivation and faithfully does it's part from year to year.
 What if you are rent ng? Plant some annuals, they cost little. and you will enjoy the wealth of bloom.
 During the Flower Carnival a free vote will be taken as to which is the most popular rose. The winner will he declared Pine Bluffs especial rose Prepare to bring vase of your fa- vorites for this contest.
 To have prize winner roses, dis bud as in chrysanthemums, leaving only the terminal bud on each shoot This is a wise plan to follow, for If you cut the roses, which is always beneficial, rarely but one bud is open and strength of root is wasted on the undeveloped ones.
 Dahlias, asters, all flowers have large and more perfect blooms by dis-budding.
 For enriching and forcing plants a good commercial fertilizer is; One tablespoon nitrate of soda, two table, spoons potash or lye, three table spoons blood meal. Dissolve nitrate of soda in hot water, to this mixture add ten quarts of water Use as you do liquid manure, not quite so freely. Tn hot weather add more water. When desiring extra fine blooms for exhi- bition, begin three weeks before hand, use a quart of mixture to a plant, if in open ground. Do not put too close to roots. Water twice week. You will be rewarded by increased size of the Clower and added richness of color.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-05-11

Ordinary good garden soil which is a llttle stiff in character will grow roses to perfection. Well rotted soil IS stlll better, to which can be added about one-quarter well rotted COW or stable manure. Damp ground causes mlldue and too much rich earth causes red spider.
 Have the rosebad on the level with the rest of your ground. Spade soil to a depth of twelve inches, mixing well the fertilizer. Set in roses three feet apart.
 A safe guide for pruning roses is to cut them back one half the pre- Vious years growth. Do this in early spring before sap arises. If buds fail to mature, remove some of them and enrich soil around roots. The leaves of new plants often turn vel low and drop off. This is natures own remedy for conserving it's vital ity. If the foliage does not drop, pull it off. All roses are benefited by some protection during winter. Wait until we have had some good hard frosts. In this country leaves, straw or light maure is sufficient. Do not remove until weather is settled in the spring.
 There are many varieties of roses to choose from, among the best are: Helen Gould, Metior, Marechal Neil, Etoile De France, Kaisarin, Duchess de Brabant, jD.mblers, Marie Van Houte, La Detroit, Caroline Testout. Personally I prefer for cut flowers, the white and pink cochets. Roses are an exhaustive study, but one which pays for the time expended.
 Arkansas is noted for her roses and I am sure if our ladies once be- come interested in their culture we can produce enough to rival Pasa- dena's famous Battle of Roses.
