Late tonight the House formally
disagreed to all Senate amendments

largely perfunctory, for with the diff

D'lnming Electric Lamps.

In the olden days of kerosene it
was the usual custom to turn down a
lamp and allow it to burn all night.
The same thing is now possible with
electric lights, and for this purpose
there are three types Of dimming
lamps, lamp attachments and dim
ming sockets in use. The most ia
miliar type dims through the use Of
a small independent low candlepower
filament which Is switched on when a
pendant chain Is pulled. The second
type consists Of an attachment fitting
into any socket and containing re-
sistance which is cut into circuit with
the lamp, thus reducing the intrinsic
brilliancy Of the lamp when a cord is
pulled. The third type Is practically
the same only the lamp socket and
the dimming device are combined, the
degree of light being regulated by a
pull chain. A considerable saving in
current Is effected by the use of these
attachments when light of full inten
sity is not needed.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied direct

stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and ALL with
out pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it Is inexpensive and Is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free

you from his wholesale drug house.

Abraham Lincoln used to tell
story, by way of illustrating what the
promises Of some of his political op-
ponents amounted to, of a splendid
boulevard he once came across in
Western city. 1t began as a fine ave-
nue., thanked with magnificent trees
on either side, and wide enough for
three coach-and-fours to drive
abreast, but just beyond the town
limits 1T became dirt road. and then
cowpath, and finally became
squirrel path that ran up tree and
ended in knot-hole!
Some Of our "war gardens" are
going toyend like that. this year.
Every season, in fact-war or no
war-there are many gardeners who
start out most enthusiastically in the
spring and do excellently in getting
their gardens started, only to have
their good resolutions "peter ont"
toward midsummer, and finally let
things slide entirely. This means
that they not only lose the opportu-
nifty to get fall as we'll as a sum-
mer crop from their gardens, but for
felt the benefits of much of the work
they have already done, and by rails
ing crop Of weeds, waste the fertil-
ity Of the soil and SOW lot of troll
Bile for next season. Weeds are al
ways ready to go to work and pro-
duce crop of seeds just as soon as
the gardener stops producing crops
OF vegetables. Don't play into the
hands Of the enemy! Even If YOU
can't push this years campaign any
further, at least hold what you have
gained for next springs drive.
Cultivation.
Summer neglect Of the garden is
caused more often by ignorance of
Just what should be done than by
careiessness. 1t may seem a waste
Of time to cultivate soil from which
you have already succeeded in free
ing weeds. or to pull weeds in the
rows Of vegetables that have made
their full growth, and will be "gone
by in week or two. But it Is not.
All the soil between the rows should
be cultivated or stirred frequently
until you are ready to take out the
first crop and plant another. Every
weed that is left, whether it is d.
rectly injuring any vegetable or not,
Is robbing the soil, and most Of them
Will have matured seed and thus pro-
vided for many hours Of tiresome la
Dor on your part before you suspect
that they are half-grown, because the
flowers and seed-pods are so incon-
spicuous.
How Dust Saves Water.
Any one can easily understand that
cultivation after wet weather-as
soon as the soil Is dry enough to
work in without being sticky-will
help to loosen it up and dry 1t out nv
admitting the air 1t Is more diff
cult to explain to the beginner that
frequent cultivation, in long period
OF dry weather. also helps to keep the
moisture in the soil. That is, If the
surface OF the soil, all over the gar
den, is kept finely pulverized and
dry. the moisture below the surface
can be saved. The dry "dust mulch"
on the surface acts just as a covering
of leaves or strawey manure would
do, keeping the moist soil below It
protected from the sun and wind,
which otherwise would cause It to be
used up rapidly by evaporation.
