the junction OF the Grand and Eagle

METHOD FOR KEEPIN6
SHADE TREES THRIFTY

In Eastern Colorado. in the dry
farming sections. special care must
pe taken with yard and street trees,
AS cultivation with horse power is
out of the question. this work should
be done by deep spading. The grass
sod growing around the trees takes
away moisture needed by tie roots
of the tree. Keep the grass killed for
a radius OF at least three feet around
the base OF the tree, and the ground
well worked with a spade. A dirt
mulch may be made by raking the
surface after spad.ns. In extremely
unfayorable situation. a few inches of
straw mulch. held down by chicken
wire. may be advantageously used, es-
neciaily where the tree has been plant
ed in a depression
man In Mum, Colo. has had good
results with his yard trees by setting
them 10 inches deeper than they stood
in the nursery. in square holes feet
on a side. At each corner he made
\ hole with an iron lar in order that
when this hole, ahoat , feet deep.
was flied with straw or coarse gravel,
moisture could percolate under the
roots. The 10 inches to the top of
the depression around the tree he fill
ed with straw mulch held down with
chickenwire. A few buckets OF water
applied in dry spell went directly
to where 1t did the most good.-w. ].

EXERCISE AND
GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT IT MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now
a-days paying attention to physical cul-
ture and the proper exercise OF their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women. excelled in beautiful and syrl-
metrical forms was because of the at
tention they paid to the proper exer-
else. Then, too, they were untrar-
fneicd By eorsets, shoes and the in
convenience of clothing. To the minds
exercise conveys only the idea of hard
fatigliing work. Mild exercise con-
tinued day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof of the
sound remedial value of DR.. Pierces
Favorite Prescription than that it re-
stores the wasted form 10 its wonted

ILL for 1874; and lie for 1915. The
death rate for the last quarter is high
er than the average for the preceding
eight years.
1.-The very appreciate increase in
the number of deaths reported from
measles and pneumonia will account
for the increase in the mortality rate .
explains the board of health, "and is
due to the unusual prevalence of meas
les in epidemic form in various parts
of the state"
There was a total increase of 612
deaths over the second quarter of
1915, of 241 among children under /
year, of 1872 in children from 1 to 4
years, and of "A among persons 65
years old and over.
