EASILY GROWN VEGETABLES
FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS

Washington. d. C., March ls.-Rad-
ishes, lettuce. beans, beets, and tona-
toes are all comparatively easily
grown vegetables which give salts
factory returns in the spring garden.
The U. S. department OF agriculture s
specialist recommends these particu-
larly for use in school gardens which
are run for the benefit Of the children.
Not only teachers, but Others desiring

own home gardens, may benefit from
these suggestions:
Radishes-Radishes are very hardy
plants and thrive best during the cool
weather Of early spring and late
autumn. In the south they can best be
grown during the winter and early
spring months. The seeds should be
sown in drills, In rich. well-prepared
soil. placed about half an inch apart

plants are showing the second set OF
true leaves, they should be thinned to
stand from 2 to inches apart in the
row.
Lettuce-Lettuce is a hardy plant
and thriyes best during early spring
and late autumn. The seeds should be
sown in drills in the open or in boxes
in the window. If in the open, the
seeds should be scattered about one
half inch apart along the row, ana
covered not more than one-half inch
with earth. Firm the earth well over
the seeds, so as to bring the moist
soil In contact withthem When the
plants are well up, thin to inches
apart In the row. If the seeds were
sown in a window box, hotbed, frame,
or greenhouse, transplant the young
plants to stand 9 by inches apart as

Mr.. McManus was born in Chicago
some thirty eight years ago, and
has been a resident of Mexico for
fifteen years where. because of his
business relations with large enter
prises, he has been a prominent
member of the American colony.
Eight years ago he married Miss
Ruth Wood, a native of Denver, who
received her finishing education in
the schools of New York and after
ward accompanied her parents to
Mexico. where they were in business
in Guanjuato. He left a family of
four children, the oldest of whom, a
boy, is about seven years old.
While retaining his connection with
the companies he represented, he
entered the dairy BUSINESS n the su-
burbs of Mexico City, and was one
of the first to furnish pure pasteur-
lied milk to the American colony.
Since the overthrow of Huerta his
dairy, (where he lived), located in
the suburban division of Mexico City
known as San Pedro de Lhos Pinas,
was in more or less exposed posi-
ton, and was always in greater or
less danger of raids from the fol-
lowers of the different generals"
as well as from rowing bandits.
McManus succeeded in defending
his home, though at the time of the
evacuation of the city by the Zapat-
istas, mob OF whom attempted to
raid and loot his place. In defense,
he fired into this crowd, wounding
two OF its members.
At the time that the United States
government ordered the Americans
to leave Mexico, many Americans,
McManus among them, decided that

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass Of Salts il your back
hurts or Bladder Troubles
You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation OF scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast and
in few days your kidneys VIII act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with iithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
neutralize the kidneys, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; make a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-w water drink which ev-
eryone should take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure. thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

at least 6 inches apart each way.
Beans-Beans are tender plants

Tomatoes s-The tomato is the most

the collection. From Washington

seeds should be sown in boxes, hot

leaves appear When they begin to

them to 4-inch pots or to cans such
as are used by Gamers OF tomatoes,

be safe to place them in their per
manent locations in the garden. Set
the plants in rows IS inches apart
and place the plants about 20 inches
apart in the rows. Each plant as 1t
grows should have all side branches
removed and the main ste mtied to

least an inch square, driven firmly

farmer begins to realize the benefit
which that Congress conferred in

the soil more and more of the instruc-
ton in farming. 1t is in the fall and
