CARE OF THE FLOWERS

Burn all Tlpened weed seeus,
Remove all roses before the petals

Keep all seed pods off Of plants in
tended for bloom.
Tree-peonies are gross feeders and
require deep, rich soil.
Encourage sturdy growth and pinch
off all struggling branches.
Too rich soil encourages growth at
the expense of bloom.
Rambler roses should be trimmed
moderately as soon as done Towering.
If dry weather sets in, do not neg

This is important
Half the plants which refuse to
grow for amateurs are starved to
death, or killed by kindness.
Adjust the knives of the lawnmower

When watering plants, do not force
the water against the plant; let it fall

Pick the blossoms of pansies, mas

If allowed to seed they cease to

For gross feeders, such as cannas,
caladiums, etc, a thick mulch of
strawy barnyard manure and plenty
of water insures success.
Pinch back the tops of the scarlet
runner; see that all climbers have
support, and watch for insect pests.

blown down by the wind or broken

Lily and other bulbs are apt to split
up into small bulbs if the drainage is
clogged, or the soil kept too wet
Keep the chrysanthemums in a
shady place during the summer, water
regularly, pinch into shape, prune and
traln. Keep the plant free from in
sect pests.
To root an ivy geranium, make
hole under the leaves of the large
plant, set the slip about three inches
deep, allowing three joints to be un-
der the soil, and they are almost sure
to root.
Give liquid manure only when the
ground is moist; the roots cannot alb

water; hence, the giving of fertilizers
during drought often results in the
death of the plant
In time of drought, if water enough

Commenting on the production OF
toluol and benzol i'm Canada, Consul
Henry p Starrett, who is stationed at
Owen Sound, Ont, says in part Re.
cent press notices state that the condi,
tions brought about by the war have
served to create an industry new to
Canada-the manufacture of toluol and
benzol as by-products of the coke
ovens. At least one large Canadian
steel company has received a contract
from the Dominion government for it's
output of toluol and the same com
pany expects important contracts in
the future from the British govern
ment." Toluol and benzol are used In
the making of dyestuffs and explosives,

troublesome Sandford cleared himself
and allayed suspicious by declaring a
dividend" But he had reason to sus-
pect that the federal officers were in
vestigating him, and he was pondering
the advisabllity of departing for cool
er climes.
Miss Lorimer had been with him for
six months She had come to him a
simple girl innocent of his methods of
finance" He had corrupted her, he
had taught her to believe that his
methods of business" were those uni
versally followed in the financial world
He did not know the revolt that had
taken place within her, nor that she
needed her salary of fifteen dollars
urgently to support her widowed
mother.
Sandford had begun to think Miss
Hilda Lorimer had the best business
head of any woman whom he had
known. And something as close to love
as his selfish nature would admit had
been growing up in him
In fact, he had once or twice made
tentative overtures to her. She had
repulsed them with the easy way and
the smile that covered such multi
tude Of regrets. If she had faced the
problem of her manner of living she
might have done what her instinct
prompted her--left the office But she
dared not face it, for there was moth
ing saved; and so she left the re-
sponsibility with her employer and
tried to forget.
At lunch time Sandford went up to
her
Come, Miss Hilda, when is it going
to be?" he asked.
What is that, Mr.. Sandford?"
Say! You know what I've been
driving at for the past three months.

nice little fiat somewhere"
She laughed, evaded him, and put on
her hat. Wen talk it over some
time" she said evasively.
Yet when he had gone she confessed
10 herself that she did like Harry Sand
ford And she felt, with a woman's
intuition, that he was the victim of cir
cumstances. She knew that his father
had disowned him when he was boy,
that he had run away, returning home
to find his father dead and his mother,
turned out of the home by greedy
landlord, gone for ever from the little
village where he was born. If he had
had different opportunities.
When he came back from lunch Hill
da Lorimer was bending over her work
very attentively.

Effort to Exercise Too Great Re-

by Writer.

In the Woman's Home Companion
appears the first Of a series Of articles
on the care of children entitled Your
Childrens Clothes" The author tells
the following story and gives some
good advice:
"A childs clothing is a factor Of
vrey great importance in the develop
ment of the body and character. Last
summer at the seashore a mother
complained to me of her four-yearold
boy, Johnnie cannot keep his clothes
clean for five minutesH
81 watched the little boy at play,
and though | saw the truth of the
mothers complaint my sympathies
were decidedly with the little boy, be-
cause the person at fault was not the
child, but the mother. All that morn
ing the little boy was harassed and
suppressed as he probably had been
from his earliest childhood, by such
phrases as: Don't, Johnnie, you will
get your clothes dirty
Here was a child whose develop
ment was stunted and sacrificed for
the sake of his clothes. He had never
been given a chance to play freely,
to exercise freely, to learn to do
things by the actual doing of them
and so, therefore. he naturally had
never gained control over his muscles
He was flabby and clumsy, he stun.

throw a pebble into the water without

parently well and strong, and bright
enough, was practically helpless phys
ically, and by this lack of muscle CO.

were affected"

AT the Majestic Theatre
BRED IN THE BONE"

The four act Mutual Masterpiece
which heads the bill at the Majestic
Friday and Saturday is elaorately
staged and excellently acted. more
over the demure Dorothy Gish is the
feature, and she is not only pleasing
figure but her work is about the best
she has yet done. Several tense sit
nations she handles with real art. That
which is ''brcd in the bone" is her par
ents, strolIing actors, and is adopted
by childless Quaker couple, as she
grows into girlhood she shocks her
foster parents and her Quaker sweet
heart by her leaning towards things
theatrical, and when a musical show
comes to town, Merely is discovered
drinking it in rapturously through an
open window, and one of the actors
takes her along. She achieves success
in New York and the actor who
brought her here, now her devoted
slave puts in most of his time pro-
posing to her, and being refused. By
a coincidence, her mother is hired as
Mercy's maid although neither sus-
pect the relationship.
Mercy is also pursued by the Man
ager who first gave here her chance,
and in protecting the girl from these
dangers. The Mother-Maid is shot,
and on her death bed learns that the
actress is her daughter, and keeping
the secret she writes to the Quaker
sweetheart to hurry to New York and
rescue Mercy He arrives just as the
actor has shot and killed the manager
and the latter is attacking the girl in
her apartment.
Those enjoying good hearty laugh
will be more than satisfied with the
Keystone special two part comedy
only Messenger Boy. In this there
are a dozen laughs to each foot of
film, excitement rules throughout and
there are extravagances which will
call forth bowls of delight The Mes
senger boy caught between such
milltones as the mayors Office and the
delegation of visiting women, gets
into all kinds of trouble.
There are chases by land, air and
sea, and disaster when the handcar
runs off an open drawbridge.
