Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
IglY Snnis.

There's no longer the slightest need
of feeling ashamed of your freckles,
as the prescription Othine-dOuble
strengths guaranteed to remove
these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning and you should soon see that
even the worst freckles have begun
to disappear, while the lighter ones
have vanished entirely. It is seldom
that more than an ounce is needed to
completely clear the skin and gain
a beautiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine as this is sold under
guarantee of money back if it fails to
remove freckles.

Baseball Games.

Baseball Games.
Millsboro High School played the
Millyille Baseball team again on Fri
day and took the game by the score
of s to 3. The game was very inter-
esting, the local team nearly tying
the score In the fourth inning on a
blunder made by one of the Millville
players. They were unable TO score
again, although some very clever
playing was done.
About forty persons accompanied
the baseball team to Millville Friday
afternoon and the trip was a delight
| full one, being made in the Margaret
/ II. a large gasoline boat owned by
BENJAMIN Kitchens. The enthusiasm
was dulled some however when 1t
was learned upon landing at the

FLOWER HINTS FOR BEGINNER
BY e. VAN EENTHuYsEN.

Flowers should have q friable, very
they will make a fine showing in very
poor soil. but like humans they ap-
preciate good care.
Do not allow the flowers to form
seeds. AS soon as the flowers begin
to fade, pinch them on; your flowers
will keep in bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger II you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers in borders and
around the sides OF your lawn. Never
make flower beds in the center of
your lawn. A bit of green turf we'll
cared for il an asset to any home
grounds.
II you want q soft. thick turf on
your lawn NOW 1t often and let the
clippings lie where they fall. This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps fertilize it as 1t de-
Gays.
Support sweet peas on q hedge of
brush. This Is better than poultry
netting, as the sun does not heat it
and burn the tender tendrils Of the
clinging sweet pea.
Plant your shade trees far. enough
away from the house to allow the air
to circulate around the house. Sum
shine in the home is tonic and care
should be exercised when planting
that trees do not interfere or shade the
windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too close
together. Give them all a chance for

|ANDLE TREES WITH CARE
BY W. r. GILBERT.

To my mind. there is not half enough
attention paid to the way trees are
put into. the hole when planting. Some
people think that because trees have
roots they should grow nearly on top
Of every ditch in the country.
For ten years planted trees yearly.
Half the trees planted the first year
failed because l didn't know how to
plant properly. / said to myself there
was something wrong somewhere.
either in the trees or in my want OF
knowing how to plant:
l experimental a couple Of years
and found out the secret of my failure.
Half of the young trees are nearly use
less for planting. on account of the
way that they are pulled at the
nurseries.
Some men, when they go pulling
trees in the nurseries. pull away Just
as though they were pulling turnips in
q hurry. Shaping the roots together
and throwing them away as II they
were no more than rotten limbs.
Young trees, to my mind, should be
handled as carefully as eggs. They
should be dug out of the ground.
When the roots are strained in the
pulling they grow the 6rst year badly
and then die away. I examined the
roots Of dozen young trees; there
were two strained, and l cut the roots
short in two more, for experiments
sake.
