Helping ,h. Little Fellow.

The United Shoe Machinery Com.
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation of q shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
notafford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes--an
average Of less than 2-3 cents a pair
and let US keep them up to date.
That Is a fair arrangement. Some of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with US because they know
we treat ell manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
II 1t were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.

Babies immune to rub.reuIosIa.

An interesting experiment for tho
purpose of creating immunity against
tuberculosis is being tried In Pitts.
burgh under the direction of the Tu-
berculosis league of that city. DR..
William Charles White, medical direc-
tor Of the league says II will probably
take ten years before definite results
of the work will be appreciated The
experiment Is being conducted on the
theory that much. If not all. tubercu.
losis infection begins in childhood. In
view OF this fact, the league is aiming
to supervise the growth OF every baby
born for the next ten years In the
South side district of Pittsburgh. The
babies and their mothers will be taken
In charge at the birth OF the infant,
and everything possible will be done
to increase the resisting power OF the
child to disease and to make II there
by immune to tuberculosis infection.
The theory of the society is that by
fortifying the body in the earliest pc
riod OF child's life. the infant will.
in most cases, become immune to the
disease with which heredity and en-
vironment may threaten It.

Overnight Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy bv Morning

It is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and so we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion. for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
1t. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
sclous Of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once day. If you
pass day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any Inconvenience.
Legions of people use IL regularly in
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. banner, 1876 Riley St., Har-
risburg, Pa, says: "Dr. CaldwelPs

easier to train in the desired direc-
ton.
Plum trees should be trained about
the same as apple trees. Keep the
center well opened to let in air and
sunlight, cut out broken and diseased
branches and paint over the wounds
caused by pruning. Early in the spring
is the best time to prune plum trees,
though many very successful growers
do considerable pruning during the
month Of June. When plums are
grown on a commercial scale 1t will
pay to introduce definite system OF
pruning, but on the average farm Ii
is we'll to use the apple tree as a
guide in pruning plum trees.
On all farms where it is practicable
would advise the planting of plum
trees In poultry yards. The poultry
will eat up most Of the curculios and
give the soil partial cultivation by
scratching and keeping down weeds.
They also solve the fertilizer prob
lem, for the droppings afford an
abundance of suitable plant food for
the trees. Plum trees and poultry
make an excellent combination, both
for profit and pleasure. II necessary
to apply fertilizers a mixture carrying
fair amount Of potash should be
used.
The Japanese varieties are less sus-
ceptible to black-knot, but they are
not immune. Spraying helps to check
the disease. but proper pruning will
do more to hold 1t in check Cut out
and burn every black-knot as soon as
1t is discovered. By persistent effort
there will be no difficulty from this
source. Spraying with Bordeaux and
hand thinning will help to check the
brown rot or ripe rot. The plum
curculio is considered by many to be
ruinous to the plum crop. Some years
1t greatly reduces the yield, but dur
ing the average year II is not a seri-
Gus menace to the crop. II seldom re-
duces the yield on trees In poultry
yards. The San Jose scale Is the most
dangerous insect to a plum tree II
multiplies rapidly and trees once at
tackled are quickly ruined. Expert
ments show that It may be held in
check by the use Of the lime-sulphur
spray. Plum trees require about the
same spraying rs apple trees. Good.
thorough spraying three or four times
during an average season win give
good results. Reduce the Bordeaux
mixture to half strength for plum
trees. Too strong Bordeaux will be
injurious to the foliage of plum trees
more especially the Japanese varie-
ties.

There is a wonderful difference in
this world between the house that is
simply place to live in. with four
walls and Roof, and the house which
is a real home. The difference is not
so much in the house itself as in the
combined effect or union OF the house
with its surroundings. There are GER
tain styles Of architecture that seem
to blend naturally with shrubs. vines
and flowers. With such house any
work done along the lines OF amateur
landscape gardening seems worth
while, for every nook and cor
ner OF the yard. every Towering shrub
and every tree throwing out its wide
branches seems to add to the coy.
home-like appearance of the place.
This is one of the surest tests we
have Of excellence in architectural
design Some houses never seem to
be at ease, or in accord with the site
on which they are built Every eff
fort to improve and beautify the
grounds serves only to bring out the
more strongly the plain awkwardness
OF the house itself, which is of neces-
sity the very heart and center of the
whole picture. A well-designed resi-
dence, on the other hand, care not
whether It is a little four-room cot
tage costing but few hundred dol
lars or a splendid residence costing
many thousands, seems to harmonic
and blend with its natural surround
ings.
In this connection II may be re-
marked that the use of cement plaster
has done perhaps more to bring about
this desired union between the house
and grounds than any other building
material The sand, cement and grav-
ell from which the plaster Is made be-
ing from earth products seem natural
ly to harmonic with lawns and shrub
berry. What could be more restful and
inviting than the cool. silver gray. the
natural cement color, contrasting with
the green OF well-kept lawn and

are not suited to local conditions.
Some of the old-fashioned varieties
are most desirable where they can be
successfully grown. They are slow
to come into bearing and are more
susceptible to attacks of black-knot.
The best varieties of European classes
are the Bradshaw, Lombard. Italian
Prune and Grand Duke. OF the other
favorite varieties the Green Gage
should not be forgotten. 1t is an ex-
cellent large plum and somewhat later
than some OF the other varieties. The
Yellow Egg plum Is another choice
variety, but II Is comparatively diff
cult to grow. The Dawson is one OF
the best market plums and In some
sections 1t is the best variety for
home use and for market.
Nearly all varieties of plums bear
better crops of fruit when a number
of varieties are growing near each
other. When the trees are planted In
gardens the varieties should be set in
close proximity or in alternating rows.
When planted for commercial orchards
not more than two or three rows of
one variety should be planted togeth-
er. 1t Is important to plant varieties
which blossom about the same time
and place such varieties together that
better results Of cross-pollenization
may be obtained
The majority OF successful growers
prefer to plant one-year-old Japanese
trees because they are easier to han
die and train In the way they desire
them to grow. On the other hand, in
buying the European varieties, two
year-old trees usually give the best re-
suits. These facts should be kept In
mind when buying nursery stock.
Cut back the trees severely before
planting. Cut OF all Of the long roots
within eight or ten inches of the main
root Remove all OF the side branches
and shorten the main stem TO about
two or three feet In order to secure
low heads. Low heads are preferable.
Trees pruned In this manner are
