BEAUTIFYING THE HOME
GROUNDS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

If you want your bed of cannas or
border of ealadiums to make !. grand
showing from now to frost, give them
a frost-like covering Of bonemeal then
stir the soil, water thoroughly and
mulch with lawn clippings. Do this
toward the end of this month and be
sure to remove the fading flowers.
Copy nature by sowing seeds of
perennials as they ripen. Provide some
sort of shade for the seed bed A
screen made of lath or one Of IN
bleached muslin will answer
The robust-groWing plants will need
some sort of support. Let tire supports
be painted green or oiled to bring out
the grain of the wood aud you will
find them more pleasing than rough
sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive
the stakes fast into the earth little
lower than the plants, so that they are
inconspicuous.
The plants needing supports are such
hardy perennials as delphiniums,
giant foxglove and snapdragons Do
not overlook giving stakes to the dab
las, cosmos, hydrangeas and gladi-
oil
TO maintain continuous blooming
from now until frost, few perennials
must be preserved. Make habit of
cutting flowers freely and remove all
the fading blossoms and nature will re-
ward you with lavish hand.
After this month allow the ehrySan-
themums to grow according to their
own will-that is, stop pinching them
back.

TROUBLE WITH ASTERS
BY GODFREY FRY.

The maggot is a deadly enemy of
the aster. Look out for it and guard
against it. Work wood ashes into
the earth about the plants and remove
a little of the soil about the base of
each plant and scatter tobacco dust
literally around them.
Wood ashes are one of the best rem
edies and a change of location of the
aster bed each year is another wise
move.
The black beetle is another pest
that does deadly work with the aster
plants. This pest comes suddenly and
does ruinous work in a. very little
while. When you see the first beetle

FOODS
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
copyright 1916. by Alfred W. Mccann)

The living cells, tissues, and nerves
winch, in health are bathed in the
alakline fluids natural to them. now
become saturated with irritating acid
seeretions which stimulate them to do
all sorts of unnatural things and
which il unchecked actually bring
about their destruction.
All this has so much to do with
beri-beri. tuberculosis, rheumatism,
anaemia, pellagra, malnutrition, neu-
ritis, nervous prostration, and many
other diseases that we must begin to
appreciate the destroying nature of
acidosis and how it is brought about
We have seen that the function of
the food minerals. many of which, let
1t be noted, are bases, are:
/. TO regulate the specific gravity
of the blood and other internal secre-
tions of the body.
2. To regulate the chemical reac-
tions of the blood and other internal
secretions and excretions.
3. To preserve the tissues from dis
organization and putrefaction.
4. To enter into the permanent
composition of certain structures, es-
pecially the bones, teeth and tissues.
.. To enable the blood to hold GER
tain minerals in solution and to as
Sist in their appropriation to the needs
of the body.
6. To serve special purposes, such,
for example, as the influence of chic
rine on hydrochloric acid formation;
the influence of calcium in favoring
coagulation of the blood; the influence
of iron in the formation of blood pig
ment; the influence of potassium on
the elasticity of the tissues, etc.
Notwithstanding the relationship of
food minerals to the phenomena of
life, there is not one table of calorie
values now published in the United
States which does not ignore the
tables contine their information to
three heads - the so-called life pre-
servers, ''proteins," carbohydrates, -
and fats"
Now. all proteins and carbohydrates
are acid-forming foods When con-
sumed without their corresponding
bases they gradually bring about a
condition of acidosis which prepares
the way for the development of many
diseases.
There is indeed much evidence to
indicate that it is the development of
acodosis in the body which destroys
the body's natural immunity to dis
ease. Proteins and carbohydrates are
typical high calorie foods. All the
scientists are talking about calories.
The dietitians base all their tables and
formulas upon these calories. Every
hospital and sanatorium in the coun-
try talks gibly of calories. All of
them see to it that this or that invalid
or convalescent receives a certain
number of calories every day. and the
foods are selected. as rule. accord
ing TO a table, depending entirely upon
their record as calorie producers. 1t
is the failure of the calorie that we
are now to consider in order that we
may grasp the dangers of acidosis and
how TO guard against them.
