PLANTS THAT MURDER

There are plants that are murderers,
hdnspers, advertisers, explorers and
storekeepers, The moccasin flower is
a wanton murderer. It's flowers are
so shaped as to lure ants and other
wingless insects to them. Once inside
they have no chance to escape. There
they stay, struggling until they starve
to death. Some orchids, while not
considered insect eaters, undoubtedly
draw a certain amount of nourishment
from the decayed bodies of their in
sect prey Many other flowers trap
insects, which they kill and gradually
digest as food.
Indian Pipes are robbers and graft.

Worry a Real Poison Disease.

Worry, like all other depressing
emotions, is a poison. writes DR.. ]. H.
Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich. in
Good Health, It is a short circuit
that burns out the mental batteries
and destroys the power for useful ac-
tivity.
1t is not merely a habit; 1t is a
real disease; 1t is not merely a sur
render of the will to morbid fancies
or imaginary causes Of anxiety-it is
an actual disease, a real physical
state, as real as is indigestion, rheu.
matism, or any other bodily disease.
In other words, worry is not mere
mind or soul malady, as commonly
conceived, but a bodily disease.

Frappe.

John .danning heard a humorous
story that ran like this: IF Jack
Johnson, Charlie Chaplin and Billy
Sunday were walking down the street,
what would that suggest to you?"
Chocolate nut sundae, of course"
John went home, and he thought he
had a regular dinner joke, waited un
til a favorable time and pulled it in
this manner: If Billy Johnson, De
Wolf Hopper and |illy Sunday were
walking down the street, what would
you have?"
And John looked all around to see
whether there had been anyone who
had heard the joke before, but the
faces over the soup were blank.
Well, said his father expectantly.
"Frappe,' said John, and burst out
into a spasm of unrestrained mirth
But he stopped suddenly, for there
was not a smile around the table, and
it really didn't sound as funny as t
did the first me.-Indianapolis News.

Keep potting plants that you intend
to carry over. Soak the ground we'll

Crinum oranta is not winter bloom

ly-moist sand until February or March.
Let the spotted Gala ripen, then
take up and keep in dry sand in a
frost-proof place until the new year.
Bring the agapanthus indoors when
cold weather sets in, and set in a cool
cellar.
Pot the water hyacinth in soil, keep
wet but not sloppy, and set in the
sunshine in warm room.
No matter what you try to keep
over winter, you cannot know too
much about caring for it. Learn all
you can.
Pull all the old annuals that are
done blooming, and either burn or put
into the manure heap. Keep things
tidy.
Get the cold frames ready and fill
with plants that are to be kept in
them over winter. Have all in order
for an emergency.
All the irises are beautiful and
hardy, and there are many varieties
Of coloring. Fall is the time to plant
them.
Rose clumps, and clumps of herbace-
