be sSwn in April or early in May. The
seeds of biennials should be sown out

may be thinned or transplanted to
temporary quarters as late as Octo-

July they flower most profusely, and
are in fine form long time. They al

CBY DR.. ]. H. wATsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work In
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality Of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to q
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisOns from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week. helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the In
testines. You will find that Anuric Is
many times more active than lithia
and that 1t dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

LARKSPUR
(DeIphinium)

Blue is a comparatively rare color
among our cultivated plants, and for
that reason the delphinium, which
shows this color in great variety, is
particularly valuable. The brilliant
flower-spikes can be seen from a dis
lance and are strikingly effective In
beds or masses, in borders. shrub
berries, or in combination with white
lilies or other plants where high con-
trast is desirable. The tall sorts
should be planted among shrubbery or
used as q background for other low
growing plants whose bloom will pro-
duce pleasing contrast with the
larkspur. The dwarf types are better
suited for bedding and for low borders.

for all can be prolonged by care In
cutting away withered fiOwer-stems as
fast as they appear. The delphinium
is sometimes increased by division, but
like most other plants they are more
robust when grown from seed. This
plant is easily prOpagated and adapts
itself to many conditions, but in a
