March Honor Roll.

Owing to the fact that many of
our subscribers during the winter
months when they did not have
a great deal to think of, advanced
their subscription to the NEWS so
that when the good old summer
time would come they would not
have the thought weighing on
their minds that they were be-
hind with the printer-they just
paid their subscription ahead,
and so, during March there were
not many to pay.
Congress has just declared that
a state Of war exists between the
United States and Germany. The
President has asked for five hun
dred thousand men, and we are
likely to have exciting times dur
ing the next year. Daily papers
have gone out of sight in price,
and busy people will want to de-
pend upon their home papers to
keep them posted on what is 60
ing on, not only at home, but
abroad as well.
The NEWS will make a special
effort to keep its readers posted
up to the mintue on war doings.
We want that our readers shall
read every page, and if they do
that they will keep abreast of
the times. The NEWS does net
have so many pages as to be cum
bersome, and yet, as many as
most people have time to read.
Everybody that does not take the

NEWS FLIES FAST IN CHINA
Most Wonderful Courier Service In the
World Takes the Place Of the
Telegraph and Railroad.

Travellers who return from the re-
mote interior of vast countries where
telegraphs and railways are practically
unknown will tell you of the astonlsh-
ing swlftness with which news travels,
despite the seeming absence Of ia
cilltIes.
Away in the wllds Of the Tibetan
border, or in the Mongollan deserts,
hundreds OF miles from the nearest
telegraph wire, the traveller will per-
chance hear of some momentous event
in the outside world within an incred-
ibly short while OF its happening. This
rapid transmission Of news is the work
Of natives employed in courier services
Of higher organization than we have
ever dreamed. China, that spacious
land where distance is measured by
days, not miles, affords the best ex-
ample For, although the means Of
communication by rail and telegraph
have greatly developed there Of late,
the bulk of the interior is still virgin
to these inventions of the "forelgn
devil" and China still maintains what
has been from time immemorial the
most wonderful courier service in the
world.
1t is now mainly controlled by the
Chinese post Office, and the mileage Of
the courier lines has recently reached
the stupendous figure of 10000, or
about 51k times the circumference Of
the globe. By road, river and track,
radlating from the capital of Peking,
or other important centers, couriers
are speeding without ceasing, night
and day, to almost every corner of the
100000 square miles of country which
form the Chinese empire. The cOu-
riers are all stalwart men especially
chosen for their physique, powers of
endurance and knowledge of routes.
They work in relays, eat as they go
along, and are supposed not to stop
until they have handed the mailbag to
the next relay. An average speed of
80 miles a day is often maintained.

in very fine soil in box, covering the
box with glass, or, better yet, muslin
stretched over a frame. Give the lit
tie plants plenty of air as soon as they
begin to throw out the third leaf.
Many interesting varieties may be
grown in this way.

and doorway. 1 do not remember to
have ever seen an anarchist wearing
buttonhole bouquet or a very bad
citizen whose house and yard con-

Balsams show to best advantage
when they are pruned to one straight
stem. Pinch Off every side branch,
and the single stalk left will be COM
pletely covered with a mass of bloom.
All flowers keep in bloom much
longer, and the flowers are larger, if
not allowed to form seeds. Pinch off
every flower as soon as 1t begins to
fade. This is especially true Of sweet
peas and pansies.

FOR THE AMATEUR GROWER
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Flowers should have friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. They
often make a brave display in rather
poor soil, but they appreciate good
care.
Do not plant flower plants too close
together. Verbenas should be at least
IS inches apart; petunias the same ;
phlOx a foot; pansies 10 inches; 2in-
Mas IS inches; marigold feet; pop
pies 10 inches. If flowers are too close
in the bed they will not make thrifty
growth nor will the flowers be as
large and plentiful.
Keep flower beds out of the center
of the lawn. They show with better
effect If used as borders for walks
and around the sides of the lawn.
Do you want a soft, thick turf on
your lawn2 If so, NOW often with a
lawn mower and let the clippings lie
where they fall. They will soon settle
in the grass and after awhile they
will make a cushiony soft coat, which
keeps the soil from drying out too
much, and fertilizes it as they decay.
If the lawn is little bumpy, fill the
depressions a little at a time with
fine garden soil. Put half an inch of
soil on at q time, and let the grass
grow through it before putting on any
more. In this way a lawn can be
made smooth in the course of a season
or two without being torn up and lying
bare for months.
Do not plant shade trees too near
the house. Give the air a chance to
circulate round and through the house.
Set the trees so as to shade windows
during the hottest hours, If you want
them shaded, but never close enough
to prevent the air from entering the
windows freely.
1t is a mistaken idea that ivy vines
keep the house damp. They keep
it dry, as the little suckers, which
cling to the walls, suck the moisture
from the walls instead of attracting 1t
/, them.
AS soon as the potted plant fills the
pot in which it is planted with roots,
give them larger pot or prune it
down and prune the roots so as to
make fewer of them. Unless this is
done the plant soon becomes pot
bound and begins to deteriorate.
Geraniums grow very easy from

Died of Premature Old Age !

How many times we hear OF com
paratlvely young persons passing away
when they should have llvea to be 40
or so years Of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, It causes
auto-intoxicatlOn. The more injurl-
GUS the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty Of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anurlc, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
viii find Anurlc more potent than lithia
for 1t dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.
