Now They Are Not Afraid to Let the
Children Run Outdoors
Freely.

Every mother knows how hard 1t Is
to keep children. especially boys. In
doors in bad weather. And yet II they
run out it usually means Group or
colds. Carthage, Mo, mothers have
solved this problem by keeping plenty
OF fresh air in the bedroom at night,
and applying a hot application of
Nick,s Vap-O-Rub at the first sign Of
trouble.
Vap-o-Rub really is a remarkable
preparation. 1t is the invention of
a North Carolina druggist and is
universally used in the South, but was
introduced here only last winter.
1t comes in salve form and is ap-
piled externally over the throat and
chest. Externally-it acts like poul
tice or plaster, relieving the tightness
and soreness. Internally-it acts like
a yapor-lamp. except that you do not
have to keep the windows shut and
the fresh air excluded as you do with
the old fashioned vapor-lamp. Vieks
is SO made that the body heat re-
leases the ingredients in the form of
vapors. These vapors are inhaled with
every breath through the air passages
to the lungs. carrying the medication
right to the affected parts.

corn crop, but leave out of consider
alton any part of the fertilizer which
may remain to benefit later crops.
On very thin lands from 200 to $50
pounds per acre of the same fertilizer
should be used. When larger amounts
or fertilizers are applied following
crops will be benefited much more
and special care should be taken to
apply with a fertilizer grain drill in
stead of by means of a fertilizer at
tachment in the hill or drill at the
time of planting. The application of
from IS to 80 pounds will usually give
the best results if applied in the hill
or drill. The application Of too much
fertilizer in the hill or drill at time
of planting is dangerous on a dry sea-
son. when it is likely to cause the
corn to fire, but IN seasons of abm-
dant rainfall as much as 80 pounds
may be applied In the hill or drill
without danger.
While fertilizers properly used are
very valuable on some soils, the good
corn grower will not depend upon
them to maintain OF keep up soil fer
tiiity They are temporary helps in
securing or increasing a crop and
should always be used with the best
rotations for the locality. If fertiliz-
ers alone are used year after year the
effect on the soil will be very much

INCREASING THE EGG OUTPUT
Success in Poultry Business Depends
Largely on Attention and Care
Given to Eggs.

Keep the hens nests clean and have
plenty of nests
Gather eggs twice daily in warm
weather and daily during other sea-
sons.
Handle eggs as little as possible. as
handling deteriorates them.
Market eggs of the correct size, "a
to 2S ounces a dozen.
Cut out all very large or very small
eggs.
Sell nothing but clean eggs; never
wash them for market.
Produce only infertile eggs by re-
moving all ROSTERS as soon as the
breeding period is over
Keep all eggs in a cool place.
Don't let eggs come into contact
with vegetable or kitchen doors.
Don't hold eggs too long, as they de-
teriorate rapidly; market at least
twice week.
Keep only one breed of chickens
and raise eggs of one color.
Market your eggs in clean, 30-dozen
cases. or in cartons holding one dozen
eggs, depending on the demand.
Don't expose eggs to flies and dust.
Confine broody hens at once and re-
move them to the Matching depart
ment.
Never expose market eggs to the
direct rays Of the sun, to extreme heat
or rain.
Keep poultry houses free from YER
min
Feed wholesome, clean feed and
provide pure water in clean vessels
and often.
Sell your eggs only to buyers, who
buy loss-off and who are willing to
pay for quality

LOOKING Always to the Future.

An old-fashioned way of looking at
the eity's situation is expressed by an
Indianapolis newspaper, which says:
"A city's physical improvements, OF
whatever sort, have definite value to
the city and its property, calculable in
dollars and cents. They facilitate busi-
ness and make living conditions more
pleasant. In that way they are an as
set for residents and property owners
and act also as an inducement to per-
sons on the outside to come and make
their homes here.
Indianapolis ranks favorably with
the most progressive cities of its class
in breadth and organic character of
park improvements. The parking of
waste land among some of the smaller
streams and on Fall creek has given
an impetus to values of property ad-
jacent to these improvements. The
day is not remote when barren areas
along these streams will be most at
tractiye residence sections

Yellow Ginger Lilies.

It is now time to prepare beds for
tropical plants. Stir the soil deeply
and incorporate, by several spadings,
a generous supply of thoroughly rot
ted stable manure. When planting
do not forget to have clump of one
of the yellow ginger lilies. 1t is the
best of several species and may be
asked for under the name of Hedy-
chium Gardnerianum. Plant in a
warm sunny spot and keep well sup
piled with water and you may be re-
warded with spikes six or eight inches
long of fragrant yellow flowers of
dainty form. as may be seen in the
illustration on this page.

NEED FOR CITY PLANNING
United States Might Well Take a Les
son From German Builders Who
Have Studied the Work.

The marked advance in thought
about city planning is indicated by
the reception accorded the report of
the New York commission on build
ing districts and restrictions. Ten
years ago the suggestions made in
that report would have been regard
ed as highly revolutionary and head,
ing straight for Socialism.
For one thing the report recon.
mends the establishment of a zone
system" a method long ago adopted
IN Germany, and a plan long needed
in American cities. The economic
waste, the upsetting of realty values,
the disturbance of the city's fiscal sys-
TEN, involved in the growth of every
thriving American city has been self
evident. This has been brought about
by the incursion of factories into old
residential districts, lowered values,
boom in another section, and then the
same story over again, with homes al
ways just one jump ahead of the fac
tories.
City experts abroad provided for
that by assigning factories to certain
zones, and homes to others. In only
a few cities in this country has any
such restriction been attempted.
New York has other problems to
face from which Washington was hap
PLY freed by an unusual foresight.
The skyscraper menace we have
avoided. But New York blocks have
suffered from the ineursien of one
high building, then others so built
that the early ones had light and air
cut off, and their presence resulted in
the bottom dropping out of values in
the rest of the block.
Fortunately limited height and
courtyard provisions already have a
place in the building laws of most
cities. The one feature in the New
York commissions report that should
appeal to most American cities is the
establishment of zones for industries
and other zones for homes.
