TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS If BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acie
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
!rritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity 1t also neu-
traliZes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.

water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble

ing orchards. In this system each tree
is equidistant from the nearest neigh
Dor in any direction. The land is
equally distributed among the trees
and it is practically all used without
crowding the trees. It also has the
advantage of increasing the number Of
trees about Is per cent over the rec
tangular system without reducing the
distance between trees.
There is considerable controversy
as to what is the proper distance be-
tween trees. 1t is impossible to give
any hard and fast rule as to the proper
distances, as it will differ materially
with climate and soil conditions, and
the characteristic growth of the va
riety. There is always tendency to
plant trees too close. This is undoubt-
edly due to the fact that there is a
desire to use as much of the land from
the beginning as possible, and because
newly set trees always have the ap-
pearance of being farther apart than
necessary

Placed on the stage, partly burying the
tubers in leaf mold, plenty Of shoots
will soon push out. When these are
about three inches in length they
should be taken off with a slight heel
and if inserted in a sand bed they will
soon root.
Another method successfully adapt

a hotbed yard in height, place a
frame on this and plunge the pots
of cuttings where there is nice bot

where more suitable soils are avail
able. It is not to be understood that
light or sandy soils are preferred for
apple growing.
The depth of soil best suited for ap-
pie culture depends very largely upon
the character OF the subsOil. With a
suitable subsoil very little surface soil
is necessary for success. Good results
are being obtained where there is but
two or three feet of surface soil I'M
derlaid by a suitable subsoil.
Pervious limestone subsoil permits
the roots to work deeply into it, Civ
irs trees with extensive roc systems.
The limestone also aids in the pro-
duction of high color, which is SO es-
sential in good market fruit. 1t is at
least partially due to this fact that
the apples produced in some sections
are so highly colored A gravelly' sub
soil would be second choice in select
ing an orchard SITE
Impervious subsoils are to be avoid
ed, especially if they come close to the
surface. Such subsoil hinders deep
roofing and not infrequently brings
the water table so close to the surface
that the root system is confined to a
shallow layer just under the surface.
Have the orchard site elevated
above the surrounding country. This
does not mean that it must be the
highest piece of land in the vicinity,
but that it should have lower levels
in proximity to it. Elevation is an
important factor in fruit growing. A
rolling site which provides good air
drainage and which is somewhat ele-
waited is most likely to escape injury
from frosts
Exposure is the direction of slope of
the site. By a northern exposure is
meant a site in which the general
On rolling sites, it is impossible to
have all the land slope in the same
direction, but in such cases it is the
general slope which is considered. No
one exposure is best under all condi-
tions. AS a rule, a northern or north
eastern exposure is preferable. The
trees are slower in coming into bios
som in the spring than when the or
chard has a southerly exposure, and
therefore there is less danger from
late spring frosts. Near large bodies
of water best results are secured by
having the exposure toward the water.
In regions of high winds, much dam
age often results from fruit being
blown off and from rapid evaporation
of moisture. These injuries are re-
duced by choosing site which has
an exposure away from prevailing
winds.
One of the first considerations in
planting the orchard is the prepara-
ton of the land 1t is true that Or
chards can be planted on land that
has been poorly prepared, but as a

SUCCESS WITH COSMOS

Sow cosmos early if you wish to get
any satisfaction out Of it. Push it
along as fast as you can. 1t does not
transplant readily therefore grow it in
pots. Shift it along until it is grow
ing in nine-inch pots. Then sink the
pot in a border and from the time
the plants are six inches high until
the end Of July the shoots should be
pinched out This will keep the plants
low and stocky. Long after severe
frosts your cosmos will be giving you
your beautiful flowers for the window.

The Square PIan-Showing Arrange
ment for Filters or for Testing Four
Varieties.

Three chief factors enter into the
selection of the site for an orchard
soil, elevation, and exposure. OF
these the soil is most important, for
even though the elevation and ex-
posture be perfect, if the soil is unfa-
vorable- the orchard will be q failure.
Clay-loam soil is best for apple
growing. In the past the tendency
has been to select rather heavy clay
loan Or clay soils for apple culture.
Less heavy clay loans and even soils
tending towards a gravelly nature
seem to give better results, usually.
Heavy clays are much more difficult
to handle; have a tendency to carry
the wood growth too late into the
summer, and do not give as good color
to the fruit as do the somewhat lighter
soils. Both late growth and low color
are Objectionable, and for these rea-
sons heavy clays should be avoided

RIBBON BEDS.

Good effects can be worked out in
ribbon beds, by using different varie-
ties of verbena in rows. To make an
effective design, however, it will be
necessary to purchase plants of each
color from your florist as seedlings
are quite sure to bring plants of all
colors common to the verbena family
and therefore spoil the color effect,
which is the prime motive of such a
