FOR RENEWING A
STRAWBERRY PATCH
Too Late Now to Reset Plants,
So Thing to Do Is to Prepare
for Spring Work.
fRx ANNA cALraHrR.,

A great many people believe that
In order to have plenty of strawber-
RES IL is necessary to set a new patch
every year or two. This is a mistaken
idea. II good plants are used TO start
with, the patch can be kept In bearing
condition for q number of years.
We can always tell an old plant by
the appearance Of the roots The old
er a strawberry Is the more dead roots
1t will have. When planting. be care
full to select those with good roots.
The roots should always be pruned,
but not too closely. unless they are
being set late in the fall. in which
case very little pruning Is necessary.
because the plants should be very
carefully taken up and transferred
with as much soil as possible clingfpg
to the roots.
It is too late now 20 reset strawber-
ry plants. SO the thing to do Ii 20 get
ready for the spring work. II the
old patch Is to be renewed, pillow or
dig out the old rows. leaving at least
a space OF IS inches between those
left.
II one does not care TO save any of
the plants removed. 1t is not neces.
sary to uproot them. They can easily
be destroyed with the hoe When the
crowns are destroyed the roots will
die.
], The remaining plants should stand
several inches apart In the row. This
will give the berries . chance TO
ripen. The straw which was used
to cover the plants should be placed
In the spaces between the rows 70
walk upon while gathering the crop.
We renovated the old strawberry
patch in the above manner last spring.
and rs a result harvested the best
crop OF berries ever seen In this part
of the country.
The berries were large and fine. in
spite of the fact that the drought was
very severe Just before they began to
ripen, and this should convince any
one that q new patch is not neces.
sity, provided one takes care Of the
old one.
But after all this il merely one way
OF starting new patch. For. when
the old rows are removed, Il IL the
young plants that produce the Der.
ries. and everyone who has grown
berries will tell you that a plant
which has never been disturbed win
produce more and finer berries than
one which has been transplanted.

Island Of Madeira Place OF Won

NO Motor Cars to Worry One, No
Noisy Street Cars, No Gathering
Horses, But All lie Quiet and
Peaceful In Beautiful Place.

New Yorktown in the Atlantic
ocean about q week by steamer from
New York there is one OF the real gar
den spots Of the world. There are no
motor cars there with their accom-
panying cutout fiends, no noisy street
cars, no gathering horses-aIl Ia quist
and restful. Flowers and fruit grow
in abundance and everywhere one sees
the beautiful tropical vegetation. There
are no extremes OF heat and cold, the
temperature varying from So to rs de-
grees the year around. On the map this
place Is labeled Madeira, but to the
visitors from the liners that call there
the little island 10 place OF wonder
and enchantment.
There Ia an attractive little story In
connection with the discovery of Ma
dsira. Robert Machim, a nobleman
without means, and Anna d'Arfet, a
woman of noble birth, and also very
wealthy, were sweethearts. Annals
parents bitterly opposed the union, for
they had arranged q match between
Anna and wealthy and handsome
young nobleman she detested.
Just before the wedding was to take
place the two sweethearts, assisted by
some friends. left Bristol, their home,
In small vessel, intending to nee to
France. But instead Of reaching the
French coast they were tossed about
by violent storm and after Ia days
came In sight of a beautiful island.
The little vessel was beached near
where the village OF Machio now is,
and there Robert made his young bride
as comfortable as possible. Before
they could get all their belongings and
stores to the shore the ship was
wrenched from its anchorage and driv-
en- away In the storm, leaving several
of the crew with the unfortunate
sweethearts.
In this most rare climate, surround
ed by vegetation OF all kinds, the little
company began what they believed
would be happy life. But slowly the
girls health failed, and at last she
died. Robert was Frustrated with grief
and In few days he also died, leaving
a request that a church should be
founded In this place. The followers
constructed rude boat and put to sea,
being driven by the wind to the Bar

prisoners. They told of the beautiful
island they had found, and a fellow

BUILD TWO ISLANDS
IN MORTON WATER
Contractors Rapidly Com
plete Bathing Beach and
House at Park.

The upper end of Morton lake is
unrecognizable since changes have
been made for the bathing beach. Di-
rectly under the big bath house which
Charles Parker has almost completed,
will be deep water for diving, and dog
ems of stones are being removed from
the river to make it perfectly safe in
case any person cleaves through the
ten feet of water.
This will be the only part not filled
with water Sunday, Mr.. Parker an
nounced. He will have water in the
old Hawkins pool. This pond will be
operated in connection with the Nor
ton Lake beach. This week 1t receiv-
ed It's first dredging for years. 1t has
been deepened from six inches to
foot and has sand and gravel bottom
In place of the thick mud.
D. G. Gem and his force of workers
are building two islands about 100
feet out from the Morton lake bath
houses. While directly under the CEN
ter of the bath house, which is almost
800 feet long, there will be ten feet
of water, fifty feet east at the upper
end of the house, there will be grad
ual slope forming the beach. The
channel will be filled in one place so
that those who cannot swim will be
able to walk to one of the islands.
High dive, swings, chute and div
ing boards will be the mechanical fea-
lures of the Morton beach with Haw-
kins pond arranged the same as usual.
A ferry will be provided at the up
per end of the lake to carry people
from the one side to the other, since
many are expected to come in from

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Try Grandmother's Old Fav-
orite Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
: drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
yluS- Hair Remedy" You will get a
i l8cG bottle for about so cents. Ev-
ery1Ddy uses this old, famous recipe,
because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and az
ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young.

SOCIETY DEPRESStS
TUBERCULAR CASES
Visiting Nurse Says Wrong
Kind of Literature Given
to Sufferers.
There is a crying need for tuber-

There is a crying need for tuber
culosis hospital in Wayne county"
This statement was made by Miss
Florence Benner, visiting nurse today
in completing her monthly report for
April, when she added four new tuber-
cular cases to the list of seven she
already had. Four of the eleven have
now died, leaving seven we'll advanc-
ed cases under her care.
Il expected to And only a small
amount of tuberculosis when l came
to Richmond" Miss Benner said. Il
was surprised to find it SO prevalent.
And in many cases, the patients have
not been receiving the proper care.
Besides hospital, good anti-tuber-
culosis society is needed, to distribute
the proper kind of literature.
"The literature which has been dis
tributed here to tuberculosis patients
has dealt chiefly with the formation
and growth OF anti-tuberculosis sOci-
cites and then has gone on to tell the
patient what terrible disease he has
and how many persons were killed
by it last year.
Need Helpful Advice.
tOf course many of them know
~, are going to die. But instead of
r.Lg depressed still more by being
constantly remlnQeQ OF tne TACT, some
literature really telling them what to
do for themselves and having a cheer
ing effect on them rather than depres-
sing them, should be distributed. 1
have asked the health department of
Cincinnati to send me some of their
literature"
Her third complete month in Rich
mond was the busiest for the visiting
nurse. She made ITO visits during the
month, twenty-three of which were
social service visits or calls made in
directly in the interests OF some of
her patients. The remaining lat were
all home visits. These were made to
all parts of the city and among per-
sons Of several different stations of
life.
General health conditions over the
city are not bad, she said, but in April
she added eighteen new cases to her
list, making the total thirty nine.
Many of the cases hav been of the
most serious nature and three patti
ents died during the month. There
were four cases of pneumonia despite
the fast that pneumonia season is
past.
