PROPER PLACE FOR ORCHARD
Rolling Site, Somewhat Elevated, VIII
Usually Afford Air Drainage
Avoid All Wet Spots.
tRv K A KIRKPATRICK,

tBy K A. KIRKPATRICK
There are two types of drainage
that must be kept in mind in locating
and planting an orchard: air drainage
and soil drainage. The spot selected
should be high. for cold air seeks the
lower levels, and frosts come first in
pockets" and low-lying belts. If a
valley or coulee is chosen, it should
have wide opening at its lower end.
A rolling site, somewhat elevated, will
usually afford good air drainage.
The soil drainage also will generally
be good in a high, rolling exposure.
Fruit trees can't stand wet feet"
Perfect soil drainage must be pro-
vided. if it is not already present. Tile
or open drains may be called into use.
II tile is used 1t should lie in the mid
die between the rows, to effect even
drainage and to prevent as far as pos
sible the filling of the drain with roots

Old People Need
A Bowel Sti111ullrlf
The Ideal One Is a Mild Laxative
Tonic That viii Keep the BOsceLs
Gently Active.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive ana
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty OF
exercise, but this latter Is irksorne to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that state of constipation should
always be avoided, as it is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan is
to take mild laxative as often as is
deemed necessary But with equal GER
tainty it is suggested that cathartlcs,
purgatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as to be shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so GRAIN them to act natu
rally again, when medicines OF all
kinds can usually be dispensed with.
This is the opinion of many people OF
different ages, among them Mrs. Mary

"The trouble isl said Mrs. Gait.

The suffrage leader smiled.

give this word as elastic a meaning as
the witness gave it in Georgia court.
Asked why he was not present to tes-

he had had domestic trouble just
about that time.

pray?' asked the examining attorney.
