making such growth do not make use
Of the fertilizers.
1t is one of the hardest things
know Of to make an enthusiastic anna
teur plant grower satisfied to let well
enough alone" She Is constantly
wanting to urge her pets on little
faster. and in her efforts to do this
she gives them more food than they
can digest, and the consequence is
breakdown from overstimulation
nine times out Of ten.
A plant that does not get as much
food as 1t can make good use Of. will
give vastly greater satisfaction In the
long run. than the plant that gets SO
much food that it doesn't know what
to do with 1t.
Some persons are under the impress
sion that all plants for winter use must
be young ones. Such is not the case,
however Year-old plants, as gen
eral thing, are much preferable to the
young ones.
There are exceptions as in the case
Of Chinese primroses, Primula obconi-
ca and others of habit similar, in
some respects to our ANIMALS; but for
the majority of plants adapted to
house culture like geraniums, hello
tropes, begonias, ADDITIONS, asparagus
In variety and carnations, older plants
should always be chosen.
This summer | start the geraniums
which intend to depend upon for win
ter flowers year from the coming
winter. These will bloom some this
winter If | let them, but l shall hold
them In check to a great extent for
future service
The person who breaches young
plants for winter Towering" to you
does not take into consideration the
fact that plant started this season
from a cutting will have but few
branches by winter. and a plant that
has but few branches cannot give
many flowers because ample Towering
surface means many branches.
Therefore. instead of letting the ge
raniums you start this summer bios
som in the winter, keep pinching them
back to produce sufficient number
OF branches TO give the desired
amount of towering surface.
The more branches there are the
more flowers you may expect

The BOGY OF OLD AGE
SCARED AWAY BY FAMOUS MEN
OF 80 YEARS YOUNG.
They Testify That Right Living and

Constantly Into Every Part
OF the Body.

Old age used to be regarded as an
incurable disease; time to be looked
forward to with horror; period Of
useless numbering of the earth,
That bogy is scared away by the
testimony Of some of the living cele-
brities who have left the Biblical
three. score-and-ten" landmark far be-
hind them.
Says John Burroughs, the great
naturalist. at seventy-seven:
Il am in better health and more able
to do my work at seventy-seven than
| was at forty-seven or at fifty-seven.
! have produced more manuscripts
during the last three years than dur
ing any other three years of my life.
and of kind that has made unusual
intellectual demands upon me-
"Old Age Is not such bugaboo after
all. He is. in many ways. better to
live with than Youth. because hS
leaves you more at your ease; you are
in the calmer waters; the fret and
fever OF life have greatly abated. Old
Age brings the philosophical mind he
brings a deeper, wider outlook upon
life; he brings more tolerance and
charity and good will. l did not squan-
der my youth IN excuses, and hence
am not bankrupt in my old age"
A novelist, who Is six years older
than Burroughs and who writes six
hours day. gives this recipe for stay
ing young in the eighties:
Il have constantly given my mind
plenty Of new thoughts. and this men,
tai diet has kept me young. 1t is rou-
tine that ages. Even in my sleep l
am often mentally busy. I think l
know consciously that when l rest

that intellectual activity infuses life
into every part of the body. AS far as
possible l avoid anger or worry, for

exercise destroys all personal mag
netism; and what passes between

my Illusions. l will not believe that
everyone is false. hwill not believe
that hope tells a flattering tale, or that
friendship is only name. or that
true love has fec from earth and that
the fear Of God has vanished. And,
above all other reasons for my good
health, place the vivifying power Of
love. Love is life"
Cardinal Gibbons, eighty years old
and in the prime of his powers. says:
Il believe firmly that the critical
| time of lie for the making or mar
ring of a sound constitution Is the
period of youth. The seeds Of weak
| ness are sown in the system then; by
irregularity of life, particularly in the
hours allotted for sleep and rest; by
excess in eating and drinking; by
grosser excuses and by lack of proper
exercise.
THE rules of health from which
| have never swerved from my youth
are: Regularity of life, moderation in
eating and drinking. exercise proper to
my age and profession, avoidance Of
worry and an overriding trust in
Gods providence. l have always been
avaricious in the matter of sleep.
Early to bed is the wisest Of all saws

The bartender served the drink to
him and laid down 20 cents in change,

Such is the spirit of the Joplin zinc
