WASTED FERTILITY.
Failure to Use Liquid Manure Means
Throwing Away Money.


Throwing Away Money.
The Horticulturist discusses the value
of liquid manure. 1t says:
We believe there is no system of en-
riching the land for small gardens.
with a view to perfection of crops, SO
truly economical and SO available as
the use of liquid manure. We occa-
sionally hear Of a gardener or an am
ateur grower of some special crop that
has practiced enriching with liquids,
but 1t is only occasionally, yet the re-
suit of every record is in its favor, and
a searching inquiry into extra produc-
ton of fruit. flower or plant almost in
variably gives watering with liquid
manure as the cause.
There is on almost every farm
waste of liquids, which usually go into
the sewer drain or possibly upon the
road, where they are of no avail, but
which il saved by being conducted to
tank would enrich the entire garden
Of vegetables, small fruits. furnish
stimulus to the rose and other flower
borders and keep the grass plot green
and fresh even in the hottest and driest
Of midsummer. The use of a little
plaster occasionally thrown in and
around the tank would always keep it
sweet and clean.
By the use and practice Of liquid ma
nure no delay need ever occur in plant
ing time because of the manure not
being on hand or not being in sufii-
GENTLY rotted condition, but planting
could proceed and the application of
manure be made at leisure.

row space at the bottom for the mash
to run out. The ends Of the box
should be sawed to suit the sianting
board.
The lower side of the box should be
fixed to hold the mash by mailing Inch
pieces around the edge. The box can
be filled with the mash, giving the
chickens chance to eat what they
desire. This will prove beneficial In
the laying season.-Iowa Homestead.

The bottom of the box should form

was walking up the river shore
one evening about sunset watching
for a deer. Rounding a bend. I saw
perched upon fat rock some few feet
from shore a large black bear I could
not tell at first what he was doing.
He was STOPPING down, with one paw
In the water. waving it gently TO and
fro. I watched closely and saw, <ust
beyond his reach, a large male salmon,
so nearly dead that he could not swim
The bear was using his paw to create
an eddy which would draw the fish
within his grasp Slowly the salmon
drifted toward the rock. It was anus
ing to watch how carefully the bear
moved his paw, SO as not to brighten
his prey. At last, the fish came within
reach. Brufn reached over, gave 1t a
quick slap, seized It in his Jaws and
leaped ashore. The whole perform
ance tickled me so that let him go
of, the salmon dangling tn his mouth.

Red Bridal Gowns.

1t is Of interest to note that the
choice of white for wedding gowns is
comparatively of, modern origin. The
Roman brides wore yellow, and in most
eastern countries pink is the bridal
color, During the middle ages and in
the renaissance period brides wore
crimson to the exclusion OF all other
colors Most of the Planta genet and
Tudor queens were married in that
vivid hue, which is still popular in
parts of Brittany. where the bride is
usually dressed in crimson brocade. It
was Mary Stuart who first changed the
color of the bridal garments. At her
marriage with Francis l. OF France in
1853, which took place not before the
altar, but before the great doors of
Notre Dame, she was gowned In white
brocade, with a train of pale blue Per
sian velvet six yards in length. This
innovation caused great stir in the
fashionable world of that time. 1t was
not, however. until quite the end OF the
seventeenth century that pure white,
the color worn by royal widows be
came popular for bridal garments.

At first sight this waist seems like
many already laid aside, but there
are new features in it, First, the
waist itself is cut in one piece, the
material being straight in the back,
and slanting over the shoulders in the
direction shown by the checks Then
the neck is cut quite low and the
inner band of the collar is cut on
the bias so that there is a continu-
GUS closely fitting curve, in place OF
the angle that the ordinary shirt
waist shows at the Joining of the
collar and waist
The turnover collar is straight and
several rows of stitching on the bias,
under part of the collar, give firm
ness to the whole. New also, is the
idea of closing the collar and waist
alike.

Obstinate Acne
Quickly Yields
Fine Remedy that Clears
Skin of Pimples on Cheeks,
Temples, Sides of Nose
and Chin.

Acne attacks the glandu1ar structure
Of the skin. more particularly those
tiny glands that secrete fat.
And it is here that S. S. s., the famous
blood purifier is most active in its
influence.
There is one ingredient in S. S. s., the
purpose of which il is to stimulate the
cells in the tissues that they select
from the blood the nutriment that
makes new skin and thus eliminates
al irritants, acids and parasites that
infame the glands. There is a natural
tendency Of the fine network Of blood
vessels in the skin to throw of impuri-
ties. but where a persistent infamma-
tory process has invaded the skin, the
natural repair work of the blood is in
terfered with. It requires the stimu-
Lating activity of S. S. S. to overcome
such morbid conditions. If you have
been troubled with acne, do not despair
Of a cure.
You can get S. S. S. in any drug
store, but insist upon having it. the
great Swift Laboratory in Atlanta Ga
prepares this famous blood pur1her'
and you should take no chance by per-
hitting anyone to recommend sub
stitute. And if you blood condition IS

buildings, which will include bowling
alleys, pool and billiard tables and
reading and smoking rooms The pro-
ject is backed by the chaplain, who is
devoting much of his time to it.
Work on the three sets of double Of
ficerS' quarters at the post is about
completed and the building of the foun-
dalton for the large commissary build
ing has been begun. There are now
five troops at the fort all being en-
gagged in revolver and rifle practice at
the range located in Garden canyon.
DR.. Hunt, for a number of years city
physician, has resigned his position to
devote all his time to private practice,
and Dr. Ralph Herendeen has been ap-
pointed to fill the position.
Agitation for the repeal Of the
ordinance which forbids gatherings on
the streets is being continued by the
Warren District Trades assembly. The
latest move is the presentation to the
council of a petition, signed by hun

none have yet been accepted.
