Pets and Broken Hearts,

The dog of Mistral, the Provencal
poet, died the day after Mistral's re-
cent death. 1t is a fairly common
thing for dogs, cats, canaries and 9TH
er pets to die a few days or even
hours after their masters. But do
they die of grief? 1t is not likely.
A Manayunk physician examined
the corpse of a canary that had sue
cumbed with its little mistress. The
canary's death, the examination
showed, vas due not to broken heart.
but to scarlet fever, the malady to
which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems it is surmised that pets, when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
of-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty, but,
alas, it won't wash.

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases Of defective vision r
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cot
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
81 was always fond Of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous l could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was in such a on
dition l thought / might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and l was almost desperate. 1t was
about this time we decided to quit cot
fee and use Postum, and have used it
ever since. I am in perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better in my life.
Postum has been a great blessing
to us all, particularly to my son and
myself"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well

Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well

BY Mrs. S. 3. Tltterlnaton.

Modern invention is helping to solve
many of woman's problems. One of
the most insistent and perenpially re-
curing of these problems is the fur
nishing of well cooked food in appetiz-
ing variety and at a minimum ex-
pense al regards physical strength
and the family exchequer.
The f1reless cooker is the most prac-
teal help to the solution of this prob
lem yet offered. Ii would seem that
this new kitchen adjunct was becom-
ing SO well known and so extensively
used that argument in its flavor would
be quite superfluous; but not long
since an article appeared in a domes-
tic science department Of a we'll
known journal disparaging the efforts
to introduce fireless cookers in the
home.
The writer Of the article stated that
she knew of several cases in which
the husbands after hearing such a lee
ture, asked their wives if they would
like this new tangled continuance.
According to her statement every
one of the wives declared she would

HINTS FOR FLOWER LOVERS
by JOSEPHINE De MARI.

Do not mako tho mistake Of putting
seeds in the ground while it is cold
and damp. You will surely lose 10th
time end seeds, if you do not wait IN
til the earth Is warm and dry.
Do not think that a great variety
Of flowers is always pleasing, but try
mossing q single showy flower, like
the saliva, and noto tho pleasing ef-
feet.
See that you try G ncw flower every
year, but fight nhJ OF tho high-priced
novelty.
The dianthus or carnStion iE easily
raised from seed, and blooms the first
year, if started early in the house or
in tho hotbed. However,, it docs rot
want too much soil or it will to
grass.
Whatever you do, do not plant a
1%owerbed, tree or shrub in the center
of the lawn. Place large trees and
shrubs to n sid3 and back of the
house, and mass the rnlall EhrubG,
rose bushes and large percnnials along
tho outer edges of tho lawn.
Flowers may bloom about tie base
OF the house to advantage.
Tho ideal home, should have the
house in the middle of the picture,
surrounded with sweeping stretches
OF lawn, which in turn is framed by
shrubs and trees.
Well rotted manure would be a per-
feet fertilizer If it did not produce so
many weeds. Apply a pint of bono
meal to each two square yards of sur
face and work we'll into the soil.
Prepare thoroughly tho perennial
bed. Dig the soil deeply, and manure
generously, for it may be years before
o have tho opportunity to Epade or
fertilizc thoroughly. Do not be afraid
OF getting the soil too fine or mellow
that is scarcely possible.
Do not forget the grace and beauty
of the vines, but plant them freely. If
there be an unsightly pile of wreck
age anywhere on the farm that cannot
be removed, plant vines around it.
Gourds are useful for this purpose.
The shasta daisy should be in every
garden. 1t is a hardy and beautiful
perennial, and easy to grow. The
flowers grow on long, wiry stems a
foot or more in length, making it a de-
sirable bouquet flower. These daisies
frequently measure six or seven inches
in circumference, and the petals are
pure white in three rows, making the
flowers seem double.
Another very satisfactory and desir-
able perennial, having all the virtues
of the shasta daisy, is the redhot poker
plant tritonia. 1t is a stately plant,
and a clump surrounded by daisies
would be very attractive.
For an attractive novelty, that will
prove interesting to all, grow a few
cotton plants. Secure, if possible,
seeds of the improved Towering sort,
and SOW them in the window-box or
hotbed. About complaining time
transplant to a sunny border.

overcoming the very re-. foe to COM
fort and happiness, that old bogy, dys-
pepsia.
Then, the women found it such a
relief to tuck away food in the cooker
and leave it to work out it's mission,
fearing neither burning or overdone-
ness. This left the mind free for
other duties and lifted much of the
stain of homework.
Improvement is the order Of the
10th century and the f~ireless cooker
did not escape the contagion. Some
inventive genius conceived the idea
that heated plates could be added to
the outfit and the mission of the
cooker widened.
Soap stones were tried but were
not found altogether satisfactory, as
they would retain food odors and
were liable to occasional explosions.
So wits were still set further to work
on the problem.
Various compositions have come in
to use for the radiators, most of which
are satisfactory, holding the heat for
a long time and proving to have last
ing qualities.

GARDEN HINTS

The spotted Gala should be potted
in January. If the bulb is very dry
soak it an hour in tepid water before
potting.
Water the soil well, and set it away
in a warm dark place for root forma-
ton, and when it shows leaf growth,
set it in a sunny window, give it plen-
ty OF moisture, and it will give a full
bloom and a profusion of odd, beauti-
full foliage.
During the winter, the hoya, or wax
plant requires but little water. and
even though its leaves shrink a little,
it will do no harm.
In spring it will start into growth
again, when it should have plenty of
sunshine and all the water it needs.
1t is a summer bloomer, and a most
satisfactory plant.
Plants and bulbs that are grown In
water should be carefully watched.
that the water does not sour, as it is
apt to do in a warm room. The water
should be renewed often. If the water
is allowed to sour, the plant must suf-
fer. The ordinary living room window
is not warm enough for water grown
plants.
One Of the best. water boomers is
the Zanzibar balsam, or Impatiens.
Sultani hybrida. The seeds terminate
readily, and the plant can be grown in
the garden.
AS a pot plant it is of bushy growth,
and, if given an even temperature, a
sunny window, and ordinary care, It
is covered with bright, waxy blossoms
for many months at a time. There
are several coIors.

New York.-The scheme of show

The Vagaries of Birds.

The wide differences in the attacks
of Indicating birds in different seasons
are unaccountable, so far as available
information goes.
In the winter of 1911-12 they did
damage to g%ooseberry bushes. In the
following winter they hardly touched
a bud on u plantations. They are
sometimes extremely injurious to
go~oseberries and plums even when
the winter is a mild me-.
During the winter just ended, ex-
cept hear the homestead, early in the
season they have done hardly any
harm to our gooseberries and none at
all to our plums.

mines the conduct Of birds toward
fruit buds.-A. V. Meerch.

It's a capital idea, and ought to be
applied to poisons generally, and pos
sibly Maxim might find some way of
applying the principle to firearms. An

something of that sort, would be of
much greater utility than his silencer.

Full Supply for All.

The Savior supplies a net full of
fishes; he gives a full supply. A full
supply, of course, does not mean that
every Christian will be made a mil
lionaire, and it would not be good if
he were; but it does mean that the
Lord will give US all that our actual
need calls for.
What the Lord supplies, he would
have US enjoy. Food, drink, clothing.
house, home, money, goods; all these
things which the Lord has given, the
Christian should enjoy.
We have been taught to pray, Give
us this day our daily bread" in &C.
acknowledgement of the fact that God
gives US all that we need to supply
the wants of the body. When we re-
ceive u weekly or monthly wages,
when our income has been increased,
and when we are given health to en-
joy temporal blessings, we should
know and admit with the disciples
that it is the Lord who thus favors
US.
Our words should be the expression
of our heart.
In conclusion, the great truths of
Christianity can and should be ap-
piled to our everyday lives. If this
were done more than 1t is, life would
be far happier and sweeter than now,
and many social evils would disap-
pear. The real social program of
Jesus has Jesus in 1t as 'the Way, the
Truth, and the Life" He who himself
was a laborer at Nazareth is even now
with us in our daily work. and blesses
us until our life's work has been fin
ished, when he will come and take us
to the eternal mansions above, where
we shall forever rest from all labors.

PART OF DAILY LIFE
Gospel Should Be a Real Force,
Always and Everywhere, in
All Essential Things.

The Gospel should enter as a life
giving force into the very life of the
people. The real social program OF
Jesus is that in which Jesus is "the
Way and the Truth and the Life
Convert the sinner from his evil ways
unto the living God by faith in Christ
the Savior, so that as a Christian en-
ployer he will not overwork and I'M
derpay his workingmen; SO that, a q
Christian workingman, he will render
faithful service, not as unto mar but
as unto God; and so that, as a Chris
tian citizen. he will seek the best In
terests of his country.
Seek We first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness and all these
things"-food, clothing, house, home
shall be added unto you" In these
words Christ has himself outlined his
program.
Our discipleship does not take us
out of this world. When the me-
chanic becomes a Christian, he is not
to lay down his tools, mol is the clerk
to leave his desk, nor the professional
man to forsake his profession. We all
belong to the working class; the mil
lionaire no less than his chauffeur, and
the mfllionaire's wife no less than her
kitchen girl.
Savior Always Present.
While the Christian is engaged in
his daily work, the Savior is present.
The Savior is present st our daily
work. While the Christian wife and
mother is doing her homework, get
ting the meals ready, setting the table,
washing the dishes, sweeping the cal
pets or rugs, doing the family wash
ing and ironing and sewing, dressing
the little ones or getting the older chill
dren off to school, the Savior is at her
side. While the Christian husband and
father is at his days work, getting a
living for the family, the Savior is
also there. He is with the laborer on
the street, with the mechanic in the
shop, with the clerk at his desk, with
the lawyer in his Office, with the ply
sician at the bedside, with the teach.

They answered-'No.' And he said
unto them, Cast the net on the right
side of the ship and We shall find. They
cast, therefore, and now they were not
able to draw it for the multitude Of
fishes"
Our work, without the Lords bles-
sing, results in nothing. The farmer
needs the sunshine and the rain.
Through sin work has become a bur-
den unto man. Through Christ, who
removed the curse of sin, work has
again become a pleasure unto us. The
Christian renders cheerful service un-
to God and man.
To the Christian, God has given the
promise that all lie needs for the wants
and support Of the body shall be add.
