WORK IN THE ROSE GARDEN
By HUGO ERicHsEN.

Nothing can be said in praise of the
rose that has not been said before
Universally recognized as the most
beautiful flower, it, is the one child of
Flora around which a wealth of sem
timent. history and poetry clusters.
The beauty of the rose is. SO widely
appreciated that the popularity it now
enjoys and the demand for hardy gar
den roses are annually increasing. No
garden is complete without roses, and
every family ought to grow them in
abundance, for never have roses been
so cheap and beautiful as now.
Moreover, the cultivation OF the
flower is so simple that no excuse can
be offered for its neglect.
The first requisite for success in
rose growing is the selection of good,
healthy plants. Weak, sickly roses
are dear at any price. Many of these
plants lack vigor because they are
stunted by remaining too long in the
cutting bed or in small pots before
they are set out.
In order to obtain the best results,
therefore, it is advisable to restrict
ones patronage to first-class nursery
men only, firms that are prepared to
furnish strong, well-rooted plants, such
as will make showing the first sea-
son and develop into vigorous speci-
mems.
In selecting roses for the garden, it
is well to know that those plants are
grown in two ways, that is to say, on
their own roots or 6udded low on the
Manetti, brier rose that has largely
superseded the dog-rose and other
stocks in this country, as 1t is one
of the most desirable for our country
and climate.
Experts are divided on the question
as to which should receive the prefer
ence, and the beginner is liable to be
In a quandary, because growers are
apt to argue for their own method of
propagation.
We find many varieties of roses
grown on this stock (Manetti adapt
themselves to a greater range of cli-
mate and soil, bloom more profusely.
endure better the heat of the summer
and make far stronger plants than if
grown from their own roots.
Many object to budded roses on ac-
count of the suckers they sometimes
throw out; but if proper attention is
paid to the planting this will rarely be
an annoyance.
Budded roses should be planted suf-
ficiently deep, so that the junction of
the bud with the stock is from two to
| three inches below the surface of the

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY -BACKAcHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
1t Bladder Bcthers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with q
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you cant drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is "a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

HEADACHE,

Gently cleanse your liver and

Get a 1O-cent box.


Sick headache, biliousness, dizzE-

bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull. throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well. eat we'll, digest well, work
well. sleep we'll. look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire aIimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out all the
sour fermentations, gases, waste and
acjdity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
TO get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation. ADV.

earth. If despite this precaution, a
wild shoot should happen to start from
the base, the growth and foliage of the
stock are so distinct that it is readily
recognized by the most inexperienced
amateur and is easily removed.
When the rose plants are received
from the nurserymen they should be
unpacked as soon as they come to
hand Thereupon the tops and roots
should be well sprinkled with water
after which they should be covered
with bagging and placed in shaded
spot until ready to plant.
If the ground is not prepared when
the plants arrive it is advisable to
put them in shallow trench and
cover the roots with loose soil until
the ground can be put into a proper
condition.
The enrichment of the soil, how
ever, should not only be made at the
time Of the preparation of the bed be-
fore planting, but in the spring of
every year, for with such attention a
bountiful supply of flowers may be ex-
spected every season.
When planting, spread the roots out
carefully and do not cross them or
crowd them. They should be placed
well below the surface of the soil
and arranged. as far as possible, in
their natural position.
Roses may be grown to perfection
in ordinary garden soil. provided they
are planted in sunny, sheltered loca-
ton, away from the roots of large
trees, for these will absorb all the life
sustaining nutrition of the soil. where
as young trees and dwarf shrubbery
do no harm. If the soil is naturally
poor, however, It is advisable to lay
a substantial foundation for future
good results.
The question naturally presents it.
self as to which is the best time to
plant roses, but the broad extent of
our country precludes a definite reply
Generally speaking. however. mid
spring should receive the preference,
and it is better to be little early
than too late; in mild season, in
deed. planting may even be done in
March.
Dormant roses. in fact, should be
planted as soon as the frost is out of
the ground and the soil can be worked.
But it is advisable not to set out tea
roses until the weather is thoroughly
settled and they should, of course.
only be planted in the spring.
Unless a cold, wet or late spring
prevails, pruning may be done in
March or April. Old and decayed
branches and unripened wood should
be removed annually. leaving only tho
strong and well matured.
