There are many different ways to
blanch celery. The following have been
found to be the most practical:
Trench Method.-When the young
plants are set out they are placed in
a trench six or eight inches deep. AS
they grow, the dirt is gradually worked
in around them. care being taken not
to cover the leaves.
Banking Method.-Earth or clean
straw can be used for this. When
the plants get fairly large, the dirt
between the rows can be pulled up
around the stalks, or straw can be
made to serve the same purpose Do
not use manure. as it is apt to fer
ment and injure the stalk.

are often used. They are placed one

Ann Arbor-Courses of study in the
science of aeronautics have recently
been established by the College of En-
gineering. Though the advisability
of offering such courses has been
under consideration for the past few
years, il was not until the recent re-
vival of interest in the local Aeronau-
teal Society that the plan seemed
practicable. The work is under the
direction Of Professor Sadler, of the
department of naval architecture. AS
sociated with him in the conduct of
these courses is Mr.. Pawlowski, who,
besides being a mechanical engineer,
has made special study of aeronau-
ties at the University of Paris and in
Germany. The work covers the gen.
eral theory Of aeronautics, resistance,
propulsion, and stability of aero
planes; the design of aeronautical en-
gines and propellers; and a course
covering construction design of aero
planes. II is expected that labora-
tory will soon be provided for scien-
tific research work.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
which vary widely but may include
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains,
govt, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, de-
| posits in the urine, etc. But if you
keep the filters right the danger is
overcome, Doan's Kidney Pills have
proven an effective kidney medicine
Newton Chamberlain, station agent,
Mancelona, Mich, says: "The secre-
tons from my kidneys passed too fire.
