HARD ON CHILDREN When Teacher Has Coffee Habit.

Best is best. and best will ever live. When person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others.
 A school teacher down in Miss. says: q had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously.
 One cup of coffee taken at break fast would cause me to become so nervous that l could scarcely go through with the days duties, and this nervousness was often accompanied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation.
 I am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room.
 When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased package and made it carefully according to direc- tions; found it excellent of favour, and nourishing.
 Tn a short time I noticed very grati- fying effects. My nervousness disap. peared, I was not irritated by my pu. pils, life seemed full of sunshine. and my heart troubled me no longer.
 T attribute my change in health and spirits to Postum alone.
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Postum cereal-the original form must be we'll boiled. 15c and 25c pack ages.
 Instant Postum-a soluble powder dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa ter. and, with cream and sugar, makes delicious beverage instantly. BOG and soc tins
 Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. There's a Reason" for Postum. --sold by Grocers.

GROW HARDY ROSES
By ELIZABETH VAN eENTHUYSEN.

The season Of bloom of the hybrid perpetual can be greatly extended by intelligent cultivation and proper selection of varieties The sturdy bushes should carry their beautiful flowers way into the fall. We have come to think of roses in the fall as d delusion and a snare. excepting, of course the hybrid teas. which have so long been regarded in America as the only everblooming roses. There are. however, a good dozen and a haif that can be relied upon to give a sec ond crop of bloom and be a thing of beauty in August and September
 The Frau Karl Brusehki. one of the very best and most popular plants ever raised, has done more to redeem hardy rose culture than any other hybrid perpetual class. It adapts itself to almost any soil, and stands unique as hardy white rose of it's class.
 The very best of the long season boomers in pink include the Mrs. John Laing. pure, pale pink; Madame Gabriel kuizet. deep rosy pink With white at the base much like the Mrs R. C. Sharman.Crawford
 You certainly cannot afford to ig- nore when planting for second bloom, Pride of Waltham, delicate flesh col. ored shaded with bright rose; Anna de Diesaaeh. very large, Heinrich Schultheis, light rose, very fragrant; Mrs. r. w. Sanford. blush shading to white; Pauls Early Blush, pale pink, towering all the summer right up to frost.
 These roses form a group of roses from which a selection may easily be made

PARSNIP NOT GIVEN ITS DUE
With Propsr Preparation the Veeeta- bIe Should Be One of the Great
 est Table Favorites

Do you like parsnips2 If you don't. why don't you2 If they cost as much as French which have far less flayor-wouldnt you like them? Perhaps the reason they have never appealed to you is because they are so tie. Often our likes and dislikcs for food are based on such reasoning.
 Of course, parsnips must be careful ly cooked to be really worth the eat ing. Baked parships have fl delicious flavor. To r.epare them. wash them and pare them and steam them until tender Then slice them lengthwise and put them in a baking dish. with butter and pepper and salt sprinkled over them. Bake them until brown in a moderate oven.
 Parsnip salad is made of parsnips that have been steamed until tender, sliced erosswise, dredged in flour and fried brown in butter Chill them and put them on lettuce leaves and add a teaspoonful of chopped ham and one of hard-boiled egg chopped fine to each plate. Sprinkle little chopped parsley over them and serve with mayonnaise.
 Parsnip fritters are made from mashed boiled parsnips To pint of it add a teaspoonful of four, a well. beaten egg and salt and pepper. Make into fiat cakes and fry brown
 Scalloped parsnips: Mix two cup. fuls of cold. mashed parsnips with two tablespoonfuls of butter and cream enough to make smooth. Put in pudding dish, sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs and bake until brown

 Because fur earmuffs cost money in these war days" ventured Judkins
 "They wouldn't, probably, if they knew constant covering up the ears tends to deafness. besides being un- sanitary said the doctor. The ears require air as well as the face.'
 "Pshaw!" returned Jenkins, they cover their ears because they don't wish to hear all the pretty things said about them

FERNS EASY TO RAISE
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

The ordinary way to propagate this class of plants is by dividing the plant, by the creeping rhizomes, by the little bulblets that form on the fronds and by the seeds or spores that appear on the underside of the leaves.
 The enterprising fern lover will find it most interesting to propagate by spores and perchance produce really valuable addition to these beautiful and graceful plants.
 Procure a seed pan or box with plenty of drainage holes, and cover the bottom with broken erockery. On

ADD SALAD DISHES TO MENU
Food That Is Frequently Lacking in Nutritive Qualities.

It has long been a joke how cats and dogs. when out of sorts. fly to grass or some kind of green food for relief The animal knows by in- stinct what only few human beings are beginning to learn from expe- rience-namely, that nature has pro vided vegetables of the leaf order, rich in mineral salts. These salts pos sess a double power-they not only combine with the acids and poisons in the body, rendering them power less, but they also drive them out of the system altogether.
 It is not too much to say that no great mental, moral or physical prog ress can be made without an ample supply of this vegetable food. Salad is the one ingredient of our regular diet which We cannot afford to de without
