often mistake bronchitis for .onsunsp-
tion. A thorough examination, to-
gether with investigations Of the
skin, sputum, and various other tests,
will show at once whether or not tu-
berculosts is present. While the dis
ease itself Is seldom the cause Of
death. IL may Lead - mala,iIes that
are fatal.
In the advanced stage the diet II az
important as in the slight casea.
Eggs, milk. and starchy foods are al
lowed. To avoid the formation Of gas
in the stomach and bowels taboo
meats, cane sugar, candles, tea, coffee,
and alcohlic beverages
Nothing but cotton or silk fabrics
should be next to the skin, but the
patient should be sufficiently clad to
keep the skin active. This does not
mean, however, to bundle up or
swathe yourself in clothes.
Hot air baths and methods that ac-
tivate the skin should be employed a.
in less severe cases.
Vacuum breathing" an important
improvement, is employed with great
benefit An apparatus so constructed
as to create a partial vacuum in Q
mask which fits the face snugly IL
used. The patient inhales rarefied
air and breathes into a partial vac
uum, thus emptying the lungs of inn
pure, stagnant air which otherwise
would be unable to escape easily
from the lungs. This method Of
breathing improves the action of the
heart and assists the blood to circu-
late through the lungs.
Finally, restrict as much as possi-
BILE the desire to cough. Forcible ef-
forts only increase the irritation and
make the trouble worse.

METHOD OF PREPARING SOIL
Expert Gives Advice on Planning
Gardens In District.

Sifted coal ashes and decayed vege-
able matter are advocated by District
Agent Conolly, Of the Department OF
Agriculture. as an excellent method OF
preparing soil in the vicinity OF Wash
ington for cultivation. He says:
The ashes should be well sifted and
dry, and the vegetable matter should
be well decayed. Then you will have
to sprinkle them on very heavily and in
corporate them with the soil. Heavy
clay and sand predominate in Wash
Ington. and they will stand from six to
ten bushels OF ashes to the square rod,
II available.
When fertilizer is put on the soil II
should be worked in thoroughly. so as
to tighten the earth. Don't attempt to
scratch the surface three or four inches.
Stick your spade down in the ground for
its full length. and then turn .he earth
over Otherwise your efforts are mere
child's play.
Select only as much ground as can
be conveniently worked. An hour
day spent in the garden will properly
care for a plot not more than 40 by 20
feet. An area half this size will usually
keep one pretty busy an hour a day.
Good Soil Important.
THE most important point is good
soil. Deep. mellow soil that can be cas-
lily worked. and which Is free from
weeds and weed seed, is the ideal for
growing vegetables.
1T IL a serious question what crops
to grow. First, be sure yau have the
space and then grow what the family
likes. One lady asked me yesterday
uyhaf fn 70
After inquiring what she liked 1 told
her to grow a few pole lima beans and
lsome radishes and lettuce. These
give her more satisfaction than she
would get out OF trying to raise dozen
other vegetables.
List for Selection.
A fine list for people OF this commun-
fly to select from would be: Beets. let
tuce, Swiss chard. radishes, onion sets.
carrots or tomatoe plants. Where pole
beans can be trained to a fence and out
of the way they may be used. Snap
beans may often be used between rows
Of these other crops. Larger gardeners
can add cabbage. egg plant, summer
squash, pepper. spinach, and corn.
THE crops to be planted at once are
hardy plants. such as beets. carrots,
peas. potatoes. spinach. radishes, let
tuce, and so forth. Other plants may be
put in the ground in about three weeks
time.
PLANT pole beans. sweet corn, toma-
toes. and other tall growing crops on the
north side OF the garden. where they
will not shade the lower growing crops
Plant early maturing crops like radishes
and lettuce between later maturing crops
like tomatoes and beans. Plant late
crops like tomatoes and cabbage in rows
after beets. carrots, and other crops
have been removed"
