SOOTHING SUMMER BATHS

dry the body quickly with a Turkish
towel. and you will feel as II you had
indeed been bathing in the briny Deep
1t is one of the best tonic baths one can
take. and one which is particularly help
full in summer.
The foot bath is not only a comfort
but it is necessity. BY this Is meant
the bathing of the feet by an extra bath
and not with the ordinary tubing. When
the feet are specially tired, soak them in
warm water in which a little alum or
salt has been added. Many people
suffer greatly from calloused spots
These may be removed and the pain re-
lieved If the feet are given bath in
alum water. after which the calloused
spots may be rubbed with a piece of
toilet pumice. A few treatments, In
some cases even one, will entirely re-
move these calloused spots.
To prevent odor and improve the con-
dition of perspiring feet. the following
is recommended: Take of boric acid six
drams salicylic acid one dram and tai
cum enough to make two ounces. Rub
well together and dust freely on the feet
before putting on the stockings.
Talcum powder mixed with baking soda
is soothing to persons afflicted with
prickly heat. A good busting. powder is
made from two drachms OF powdered
calamin, one ounce of powdered orris
root and three ounces of powdered
starch.

WATCH WEATHER
NEXT THURSDAY

Fox many centuries st. Swithin's day,
the 10th of July, has been looked
upon as day when the weather for
forty days to come would be fortold. The
following lines explain the day:
ST. Swithin's day. If thou dos, rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithin S day. II thou be fair
For forty days twill rain nae mair.
Good old st. Swithin, who in his day
some LOO Years ago was Bishop of
Winchester little knew that his name
would be n hyword with future genera
tons He was himself a very humble
man. and when he came to die he beg
ged that his body be buried outside of
the church, where people would walk on
It. and where the dirlpings from the
caves on rainy days would fall upon it
This he considered a fit resting place
for his unworthy bones.
st. Swithins wish was granted. and he
vas simply buried where he desired. A
:.unored years later, when his reputation
Tor piety had grown. his body was re-
nurled IN the cathedral. with great pomp.
ana here Is where the story comes in.
For while the transfer was in progress
a most terrible storm broke. and for
forty days thereafter there was rain
without intermission
So runs the legend. and that Is why

st. Swithin is not the only saint of
the weather. In various lands other
saints are made responsible for the
same conditinos-in France. for instance.

THERE is little or no expense at
tached to the sowing Of seed OF
old-fashioned pretty flowers. and 1t
should be the aim of every man and
woman to have at least a tiny garden
spot. Where there is only a small space
around the house, seed the front to grass
and use flowers as a background. A
lawn may be beautified with pampas
grass or large foliage plants. In a very
large yard one can lay out winding walks
outlined with old:fashioned garden plants.
To fasten up vines on the porch obtain
wire netting the desired length and tack
each end to a wooden rod. Put two screw
hooks under your porch roof just inside
the caves. Rest one rod on these hooks
and wire each end Of the other rod to
stakes set firmly in the ground. In this
way the porch is spared the DETACHMENT
resulting from putting up many nails.
Vines may be made to climb over a brick
wall by slipping over each branch. as 1t
grows and needs to be made fast. a COM
mon wire hairpin, the ends of which are
inserted in the nearest crack.
Cutworms are the chief enemy of
small plants. One way to outwit them
is to surround each plant with bottom
less strawberry, box when transplanting.
Sink the box in the ground so that just
a little rim Of about an inch or less Is
exposed As the cutworm works just on
the surface, 1t never burrows below and
never gets over the top of your miniature
fence. Should q worm accidentally be in
cluded within the inclosure, it stays
there until dug up and disposed of. in
stead of shipping off dozen more plants.
The sulphur of matches will kill worms
which are at work at the roots of a

A rubber mat will be found a great
comfort by the woman gardener. Keep
1t in the room with the garden tools, and
whenever you go out to dig or weed, or
transplant, take it along and kneel on
that instead of on the damp ground.
Paint the handles of garden tools red.
and if they are left lying about they
will be easy to find. On the same prin-
wish to make inconspicuous. may be
given coat of green paint.
House plants may be kept free Of dis
ease II they are watered with very
weak solution made by dissolving bag
of SCOT in pail of water. Use a
whisk broom when sprinkling plants in
the house. When the broom Isl dipped in
water and shaken over plants it makes
fine spray which Is effective in over
coming the dry heat of room. When
you are going to be away from home
for a few days. try this plan for water
ing plants: Take a washtub and place
in 1t as many bricks as you have pots
Put enough water in the tub to nearly
cover the bricks. and place the pots on

as foundation sometimes as the whole

The interesting wooden stakes that are
sold to support long-stemmed flowers are
delight. They consist of wooden

and they are to be thrust into the center
of bunch of rather willowy stemmed
flowers. so that the heads of the flowers
can be deftly tied to the stake Tor sup

Devices That Will Help.

Is the wire framework. that is made to
fit snugly over a glass or silver flower
basket. bowl or dish. With this frame
work flowers can be kept separate, in
stead of crowding together in hit-or-miss
fashion.

When You Gather Roses.

IF you are gathering roses for a friend
to carry-or even II you yourself will
carry them-follow the method of a IA
nous rose grower. whose gardens pro-
duce roses that are the envy of every
one who sees them.
He is generous-all lovers Of flowers
seem to be generous. The result Is that
no visitor to his garden goes away with
empty hands. And naturally he has had
much experience In picking roses for
others to carry.
He cuts long stems, for he believes
that this stimulates the growth of the
roses. And he clips, with short, sharp.
strong scissors. the thorns from the
stem for distance of four or five
inches from the end. Thus the stem is
easily held, without danger of torn skin.
And. moreover. the rose stems minus
thorns take up less room than they.
would were the thorns still on, and so
more roses can be carried in a bunch
with given diameter of stem.

soil should all be finely pulverized. but
as the seed bed need not be large this task
is an easy one. Then sow the seeds. A
general rule Is to cover all varieties OF
seed with soil not more than four times
their size in depth. In the case of some
seed-like that OF annual plumed cocks
comb. for instance-this means that the
soil must be very lightly sprinkled on,
and some gardeners find that the best
methods is to mix the seeds with sand
and a little fine soil and sprinkle this
mixture over the surface Of the bed. 1t
Is always well to mix sand with the soil
that covers seed, as sand does not pack
