SETTING OUT ROSE BUSHES
Points to Be Remembered by Those
Who Are Fond Of the Fragrant
Flower.

All roses are heavy feeders and re-
quire rich, moist soil. A clay soil, II
we'll enriched and having perfect
drainage, is ideal. Pruning should be
carefully done, preferably in the
spring. All weak growth should be
cut out and the balance well cut back.
The flowers Of almost all roses being
borne on the new wood, the bushes
should be cut back half or more Of
their growth.
In the majority Of cases, roses on
their OWNS roots will prove more salts
factory than budded stock. On own
rooted stock, the suckers or shoots
from below the surface Of the soil
will be of the same kind, whereas with
budded roses there is danger Of the
stock starting into growth and, not
being discovered, and finally killing
out the weaker growth. Still, II the
plants are set deem enough to pre-.
vent adventurous buds Of the stock
from starting. there is no question
that finer roses may be grown than
from plants on their own roots.
In setting out the rooted bushes, do
not crowd the roots into a small space,
but have the roots we'll spread out
and the ground we'll firmed around
them.

Paint Up!

Says the Abilene Reporter: "A gal
lon of paint costs less than two dollars
and will go a long way toward cover

the beauty of the structure but pre-

cheaper to paint up than not to do So"
This advice is particularly applicable
to conditions now existing in u own

employed labor here that could be

a great number of vacant houses need

"Ishi" was. and perhaps still is, the
most "uncivilized" man In the world.
Until he vas captured by the uni

little tribe lived near Mill creek, in
the forests, where they stayed in hid

away from the railroad track where
engines rumbled by them. They
thought the locomotives some strange

Senator Boies Penrose's sweeping

diseases.
1t is impossible to reach the nerves
directly with medicine. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are a nervine tonic but they
act on the nerves through the blood,
enabling the blood to carry to the
nerves the elements needed to build
them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica. sick headache
and a number of more severe nervous
troubles are properly treated by build
ing up the blood with DIR. Williams
rected in this way.
IL you are nervous you can help
yourself by refusing to worry, by taxi

by avoiding eXcesses and by taking

WATCH CHILDREN

Little Indispositions May Lead
to Serious Illnesses Warns
the Commissioner

day in school when a child is
and indisposition of children should be
watched in order to head off the COM
municable diseases to which children
are liable says Dr. Samuel G. Dixon,
State Commissioner of Health, in his
weekly health talk. He warns that
other children are likely to be exposed
and that parents should note health
conditions when children complain.
DR.. Dixon says:
school authorities are naturally
anxious to secure regularity of attend
ance on the part of the scholars and
many parents feel that they are simply
doing their duty in forcing children
tc go to school who complain of not
feeling well. It is much better for a
child to lose an occasional day S
schooling than to risk bringing on an
illness and exposing others.
"Children's recuperative powers,
generally speaking, are superior to
those of older people. Proper rest
and care will often ward off serious
illness. but this requires care and in
sight on the part of the parents, as the
children themselves are not apt 10 call
attention to their condition until they
become seriously i'll.
Loss of appetite, feverishness, lassi-
tude, discoloration of the eyes, are all
indications which should be watched
as symptoms of indisposition.

schools they can make up far more
readily than what they lose in health.

A PROPOSAL TO INUNDATE
THE HOLY LAND

Travellers in the Holy Land journey
ing northward along the beaten track
from Samaria to Nazareth must cross
the Plain of Esdraelon. called also the
Plain of Jezreel. and almost invariably
pass the ancient site of the city of
Jezreel. A little north of the present
village (Zer'in) a deep valley slopes
downward to the Jordan, and through
this valley runs the railroad between
Haifa and Damascus. 1t was once
proposed to cut canal from the Medi-
terranean to the Jordan Valley, filling
up the trough of the Dead Sea and
paralleling the Suez Canal by a sec
ond route. If such a project were ever
carried out the inner or eastern end of
the canal would be within a mile or
so of Jezreel.

which cover the ancient site.-Chris-
