Gardening Hints
for the Amateur
Cuttings From, Geroniunls
Easily Made = Care OF
Ferns Simple But Exactly

There are some general hints in
gardening that viii prove helpful 10
the amateur, and since it is almost
time TO make cuttings from the
geranium plants information regard
ing the proper method will not come
amiss. Fill the pots with fresh loan
and soil mixed with a little sand 10
keep il from caking The cuttings
are made from strong, healthy shoots
about four or five inches long. which
are placed in the ground to a depth
Of an inch and a half. Press the
ground firmly about the cutting and
place in the shade until the roots
form. Water sufficiently to keep the
earth moistened, but not wet and
soggy
Every grower of flowers is interest
ed in ferns, and will be glad 10
know how 10 prevent the fronds
from turning yellow. When the
plants require water take a tub and
fill it with water 70 a depth of two
inches. Place the pots in this and
allow them TO remain until the soil
has absorbed all il requires. The chill
should be taken from the water first,
but on no account pour water on the
top Of the ferns. Do this semi
weekly.
When watering plants from the
top of the pot be careful not to wet
the plants too frequently. This causes
the soil to become water-logged,
which will eventually kill the plant.
way to test the soil is to rap the
/ side Of the pot If it rings clear the
soil requires water; If the sound is
dull do not TSoNsten.
When transplanting seedlings do
not pull them from the soil. Lift
each one carefully with suitable
tool, allowing as much as possible
to adhere to the roots. The growth
of the plants will not be stunted and
root activity will Immediately begin.
Never make the mistake of paint
ing flower pots for house plants. BY
so doing you will close the pores in
the pottery. which are essential to
free passage of air in order that the
soil may be kept fresh. In painted
flower pots tho soil becomes sour
and the plants, instead of thriving,
are stunted and soon die.
When planting bulbs remember
that naturalized bulbs are always
more effective than those planted in
beds. An excellent way to furnish a
natural setting for bulbs is to scatter
them over the planting space as you
would marbles and bury them in the
soil wherever they happen TO fall
Hoe the soil about plants frequent
ly, keeping the upper surface loose to
a depth of two inches This saves
the under moisture from evapora-
ton. and is called soil mulching.
Plants will not require TO be watered
so often if you are particular about
loosening the soil. When watering
"A garden a thorough soaking is bet
ter than frequent sprinklings.

Liner iceland in MidOcean
Collision With British Freighter

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The Red
Star liner iceland which arrived
last night from Antwerp and Dover,
was in collision in midocean shortly
before noon on Wednesday with the
British freighter Missouri, bound
from Philadelphia to London. The
Missouri was damaged seriously for
ward, and the Zeeland's plates were
dented just forward OF the bridge on
the starboard side.
Officers and crew of the iceland
were reticent when asked last night
about the collision, and II was said
that they had been ordered not TO
talk of the accident. 1t was learned,
though, that the collision occurred in
comparatively clear weather and that
the Missouri was several hundred
yards away when the iceland
sounded three blasts from her siren
as a signal that she was going astern.
The Missouri responded with two
blasts but she came straight on and
struck the iceland a hard blow with
her bow. When she backed away II
was found that the Missouri's stem
had been bent at right angle to her
hull her deck fittings at the point of
collision had been ripped out of
place, and her wireless apparatus
had been disabled. 1t was thought on
the iceland that the collision was due
to the fact that the Missouri's steer
ing gear was out of order.

Identification Tag Worn
by Private Parks When Shot
by Mexicans Sent to Funston

VERA CRUZ. July 2S.-Mute evil
dence of the fate of Private Samuel
Parks, of the Twenty eighth In
fantry. United States Army, who was
shot to death by Mexican outpost in
front of Vera Cruz ealay in May,
reached Br1gadier- General Funston
yesterday, when the aluminium tag
of Identification which Parks wore
when he wandered out of the Ameri-
can lines, was forwarded by mail
from Mexico City.
The tag and part of his blood
stained uniform have been reposing in
the Mexican war Office for many
weeks They were sent there when
an investigation of the killing of the
American soldier, demanded by the
Washington government, was under
taken by the Mexican officials.
What the result of that investiga-
ton was or the nature of the report
made to Washington is not known
here. The Mexican war office APP
parently considers the incident closed,
however, as the uniform, including
Parks's campaign hat, caked with
blood and with a hole in the back OF
it made by the bullet which probably
caused his death, was given to a
janitor employed about the war de-
partment last Friday, with the state
ment of an attache that I'VE don't
want this stuff here any longer"
The incident was reported to an
American residing in Mexico City,
and he obtained possession of the
Identification tag and forwarded it to
General Funston.

To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight
A Physicians Advice

Most thin people eat from four to
six pounds of good solid fat-mahng
food every day and still do not in
crease in weight one ounce, while on
the other hand many of the plump,
chunky folks eat very lightly and
keep gaining all the time. It's all
bosh to say that this is the nature
of the individual. 1t isn't the nature
of the individual 1t isn't Natures
way at all.
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective.
They Just absorb enough of the food
they eat to maintain life and SEM
blance of health and strength. Stuff
ing won't help them. A dozen meals a
day won't make them gain a single
"stay there" pound. All the fat-pro-
ducing elements of their food fNst
stay in the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste. What such
people need is something that will
prepare these fatty food elements so
that their blood can absorb them and
deposit them all about the body
something, too, that will multiply
their red blood corpuscleS and in
crease their blood's carrying power.
For such condition I always
recommend eating a Sargol tablet
with every meal. Sargol is not, as
some believe, a patented drug, but Is
a scientific combination of six of the
most effective and powerful flesh
building elements known to chemistry.
1t is absolutely harmless. yet won-
derfully effective and single tablet
eaten with each meal often has the
effect of increasing the weight of a
thin man or woman from three to
five pounds a week, 5argol is sold
by good druggists everywhere on a
positive guarantee Of weight increase
or money back,

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-The SEN
ate banking and currency committee
had before it today the bill intro
duced by Senator Thomas. of Colo
RADIO, providing for the coinage of
quarter dollars to commemorate COM
pletion of the Panama canal and the

each quarter must weigh 1875 grains
and that any person offering io3125
ounces of pure silver, plus $3.50 in

treasury 400 quarters, or 800.
Accompanying the bill was a state
ment urging that the measure would
establish fixed par exchange with
forty-fiye countries which use the
British sovereign as a unit Of ex-
change and an approximate parity
with twenty-one countries which use
the French franc a. the exchange
unit.
