on--castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you mated them, how you fought

With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of

ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.

bowels need cleansing, give only deli

of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-

HOME GROUNDS BEAUTIFUL
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

| Nothing adds to the attractiveness
| Of the home place more than thrifty
vines, and for most places perennial
vines are best. For temporary screens
| annual vines will do. Start the seeds
indoor early and transplant frequent
| ~ in order to make the plants stalky,
| and as soon as the ground gets warm
| they may be set out where they are to
remain.
Many of these will grow but little
at top for the first year, but will be
making root growth and be getting
! ready to make top progress after
| wards. Some of the shrubs and Deren-
malls, and even the biennials may give
| scant bloom the first year, and some
NAV wait for the first Towering for the
third year.
Seeds of most of the desirable orna-
mental vines, shrubs, biennials and
| perennials terminate readily, while
| others are slow in sprouting, but If
| planted in good soil and allowed time
| the reward is sure.

FIRST WORK FOR THE GARDEN
By &. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

To get both pleasure and profit from
garden one does not need a large
variety of flowers and vegetables. l
do the planting and much of the work
on plot Of about one acre. The prod
ucts include asters, dahlias, straw
berries, tomatoes, celery, lettuce,
string beans, etc.
March is none too soon to commence
shaping ones plans for the garden. A
good catalogue from some reliable
seedman is necessary. The winter
months are the time to study and plan
out your scheme of garden. My ex-
perience has been that it is mistake
to try too many varieties of vegeta-
bles. Of peas, tomatoes and cabbage,
select two varieties, one early, the 9TH
er late. Of all the other vegetables
find one variety suffices.
Order your seeds early, for by the
middle of March one can begin oper-
ations by sowing tomato, cabbage and
celery seeds in boxes filled with earth.
Cigar boxes make good receptacle
for starting plants. They are deep
enough and good size to stand on the
window sill. Two hundred plants can
be started in one box The early cab
bage and tomato should be planted
first.
If you are going to try celery it
should be among the first started. Do
not cover the seed too deep Follow
the direction on the package as to
depth
Do not get discouraged about re-
suits, as celery seed terminates very
slowly. Keep the top of the earth al
ways moist, and do not look for plants
until the third week.
When they do show, give plenty Of
light, so that they will not be spin
ding.
This also applies to cabbage and
tomatoes. All of them will grow long,
thread-like stems, which will be too
weak to support themselves, unless
given plenty of sunlight. The celery
plants can remain in the cigar box
much longer than any of the other
plants that l have suggested for house
planting. They grow slowly. The to-
matoes and cabbage will soon need
larger quarters.
AS soon as the fourth leaf is under
way, they should be planted into flats.
Mine are about two feet square and
three inches deep. | nailed them up
