THE GARDENS OVERC0AT
ByL. M. BENNINGTON.

What lover of the garden is there
more or less trepidation the question
Of putting the garden in its Overcoat,
or, to be more in line with the bromide
expression Of the years, into winter
quarters?
Getting around in the spring to find
cherished plants dead and withered
is like coming back to the home town
to get tidings that old friends have
died. There is more or less emptiness
in the proceeding.
These troubles may be avoided with
a little thought. In November and De-
cember when the ground has been
slightly frozen, the garden may be
safely put into winter quarters.
Many plants do not require much at
tention or protection, and others which
need some protection will be killed
with too much coddling.
There is something appealingly hu-
man about flowers that makes them
follow individual types and prefer
ences.
Almost all rosebushes will go
through winter nicely If earth is
thrown up around them to the depth of
nearly a foot just before the ground
freezes. A few inches of leaves OF
manure must be added to the ground
after the freezing weather sets in.
Tea roses in the North will not stand
much cold, and it is best to place them
In pots and set them in a cool cellar
Many of the tea roses will bloom al
winter If kept in a moderately warn
room. The rambler roses will gene
rally go through the winter without
protection. In the instances of tht
newer climbers, which may be hurt. i
Is good plan to lay them fiat on thu
earth and cover with q foot of eartl
as a matter of insurance.
New Buddleias, or summer Hlacs
can be treated just like the roses. The,

earth they will make a quick start II
the coming spring and by the end O
July will be In bloom again. Many
time people have dug up the roots
thinking them dead, when all in tn
world they wanted was to be let alone
Rhododendrons are often winter

they get too much attention. Noun

damage, can be avoided by setting u
boards to the south of the valuabl

seem to need any protection in any sec
ton.
The perennial beds would not require
any protection if snow would only fall
at the beginning of the season and stay
until spring.
The alternate freezing and thawing
does the mischief. Peonies, German
iris, phlox and poppies of the Oriental
type really need no covering. Their
roots are strong. A light overcoat of
leaves, straw or pine boughs, however,
Is good for many of the perennials. A
heavy blanketswil not permit ventila-
ton.
Some of the finest perennials, like
japanese anemones and tritoma, are
sensitive to cold and are safest in a
cold cellar. If covered with straw and
protected from standing water, pam
sizes, English daisies and forget-me-
nots will generally stand the winter
nicely.

Kidney Disorder

~ (By DIR. V. M. PIERCE.)
The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system. The mere drinking a cup Of
hot water each morning, plenty
of pure water all day, and a little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means Of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur IL the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness. lrritabillty. headaches, chilliness,
rheumatic twinges, swollen joints or
gout.
Since II is such a simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
win waste no time In beginning this
treatment.

HUBBY WAS NO ENTERTAINER
All Right Otherwise, but Fact That He
"Had No Conversation" Caused
the Separation.

Sweet and, though sophisticated, ap-

enough for all the car to hear why she
had left her husband.
'He was good provider, but he just
sat around all evening and had no
conversation"
"Why did you marry him?"
His grandmother died, see, and he

and said, Say, If you want to get mar
ried, here's your chance, take me or
leave me. He was great and full of
pep when out with the bunch, but in
his own home he had no conversation"
"Are you sorry you had to leave
himf'
"Well, I had lovely forniture, but
life is not all furniture, and what is
the use of the costliest carpets if your
husband has no Conversations
do you think you'll ever go back to
him?"
'Td go back tomorrow If he wouldn't
SIT behind a newspaper like a stuffed
dummy in bedroom slippers"

Home-Ground Flour and Cereals.
Grinding wheat to make flour may
be done at home as easily as the grind
ing of coffee. And thus family may
have whole wheat -four, freshly ground,
a thing that is usually difficult to OBJ
tain. The New York Medical Journal
advises its readers to buy their wheat
from seedsmen rather than from gro
GERS or feed stores because it will be
cheaper and more efficient.
The grinder can be used also for
cracking wheat, corn, barley. oats,
rye and other grains for use as break
fast cereals. And the cereals will need
chewing, which will not only strength
en- the muscles of the chewers' jaws,
but will keep their teeth from decay
that is if they begin as children.
Homemade cereals need long cook
ing, so f1reless cooker is almost indis-
pensable.

ABOUT PRUNING

Winter pruning, when the tree is
wholly dormant, increases the vigor Of
the tree.
In transplanting cut back, top and
root. Burn all the wood to prevent
spread of insects and disease.
Heavy pruning is always followed
by heavy growth of suckers.
Never leave stubs in cutting of
limbs.
Keep trees free from suckers.
Wounds heal most rapidly in spring.

ming to-day in a statement in refer
ence to the gallon-a-month Act en-
acted by the legislature in 1915. The
governor states that he will not sign
the two-quart-a-month Act at the

1t is understood that the governor
has conferred with the prohibition
leaders from various parts OF the
state in reference to this matter,
and has reached his decision after
careful consideration OF the sub

The governors statement follows:
"The gallon-a-month law will
stand as the law regulating the i'm

lima for personal use. This was the
law enacted by the legislature at the

the amount OF liquor used, and

FORCES THAT ARE ETERNAL
Time and Love the Two Things With
Which All on the Earth
Must Reckon.

Time and love are the two forces
that are eternal and ever new, that
cannot be killed or erased They move
on in cycles for all eternity. Without
love this great, beautiful world would
soon wither and decay
Therefore love is the sum total of
these things. 1t spells homes, fire.
sides, society and civilization. Look
into the fireside lamps which should
be kindled in every room in the home,
and IL you find the oil of love ebbing
away hurry to replenish the lamps be-
fore the fickering flame goes out.
Many serious faces tell the story of
starving for love, the most precious
and valued thing in the world. This
means you, Mr.. Bachelor. II you are
comfortable in your library you have
no reason to pat yourself on the back
because you feel that you can get on
without the love which q happy, sym
pathetic companion can bring you. The
time will come when tho fiickering
embers will cast their shadows, show
Ing you the lost opportunities.
The same advice holds for you, Miss
Bachelor Girl. Do not let your ability
and capacity Of providing for yourself
delude you into thinking that you are
self-sufficient. Your plans and aspira,
tions may be all you need now, but the
time may come when you will under
stand that it is this thing called love
which keeps a woman's face soft and
her heart young.
