If you care for heavy hair, that

Danderine,
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of dam
G~uff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff
This destructive scurf robs the hair
Of its lustre, its strength and its very
life, and if not overcome it produces
feverishness and itching of the
scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
cily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowl-
tons Danderine at any drug store or
toilet counter; apply a little as di-
rected and ten minutes after you will
say this was the best investment you
ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless Of
everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it-no dandruff-no

hair-you must use Knowlton's Dan

GROWING Okra or Gumho.

The home gardener will usually find
it advantageous to grow small quaint
ties Of certain specialties which will
add to the attractiveness of the family
fare and which few housewives will
trouble to buy. Among these may he
mentioned okra or gumbo.
The young pods of this plant are
the part used. These are employed
principally In soups. to which they i'm
part pleasant flavor and sticky
consistency. The best pods are grown
on young plants. but if the pods are
removed before they are allowed to
ripen the plants will continue to pro
duce them until killed by frost.
The seeds Of okra should be sown in
the open after the ground has become
quite warm. or the plants may be
started in berry boxes in the hotbed
and transplanted in the garden after
all danger Of frost has passed. The
rows should be four feet apart for the
dwarf sorts and five feet apart for the
tall kinds. with the plants two feet
apart in the row.

Onions. like potatoes. are staple
crop that Is grown commercially on a
very extensive scale. As a general
rule. 1t Is well to have the crop follow
some other one that has been kept un-
der the hoe and free from weeds the
previous season.
In the north seed Is sown as early in
the spring as the soil can be brought
to the proper condition. In the south
onion sets are frequently put out III
the autumn and carried through the
winter with the protection Of little
hay CT straw. There are three meth
DDS Of propagating Onions-the first. by
sowing the seed in rows where the
crop is to grow; second. by sowing the
seed In specially prepared beds and
transplanting the seedlings to the open
ground. and. third, by painting sets
which have been kept through the win
ter. The first method Is used by large
commercial growers on account of the
amount Of labor involved In the others
On small areas, however. 1t may be
preferable to plant sets. Under normal
conditions these may usually be OBJ
tained at planting time for about $3.50
buShel, eight or nine bushels being
required to plant an acre. Onions
planted from sets will ripen earlier
than those from seed sown in the
fields. When the transplanting meth
cd Is used the seed is sOwn in green

lings are transplanted when they are
somewhat smaller than a lead pencil
and rather stOcky. The root end OF
the Seeding is pushed into the soil
with one finger. and the soil is then
firmed about the plant.
The seed is sown thickly in drills
about twelve to fourteen inches apart
After the plants become established
they are thinned to two or three inches
apart. The maturity of the bulbs may
be FASTENED by preventing the con

MAKING TOWN FARMERS
TO LESSEN FOOD COST
National Emergency Food Garden
Commission to Create q Million
More Gardens.

WheH the school and home garden
ing movements started in the United
States a score of years ago few per-
sons foresaw that some day this NINA
ture farming Of urban lots might prove
Of great economic benefit to the entire
population. Up to the present the
movement has been fostered as q So
cial service-to give boys and girls
habits Of industry and to afford to
dwellers in congested districts enjoy
able, healthful and profitable occupa-
ton in their leisure, with incidental
aid in identifying cities and towns by
cleaning up the back yards and vacant
lots.
The present food crisis, which may
become more acute in the event OF a
serious war. seems to have brought
the day in which the idle lands within
American municipalities are likely to
become an important source of food
supply. So seriously is the matter re-
garded that a number Of well known
educators and philanthropists have Or
ganized in Washington the national
emergency food garden commission.
devoted to the purpose Of putting l.
100000 men. women and children on
city and town gardens this spring to
raise vegetables for their families.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president Of
the American Forestry association, is
the originator of the movement and
the head of it. With him are associa-
ted among others DR.. Charles w. Eliot
Of Cambridge, Mass; John Grier Hib-
ben, president of Princeton university !;
Carl vrooman, assistant secretary Of
Agriculture; Capt. J. B. White, men,

board; Albert w. Shaw, editor Of Sys-
tenn magazine; Emerson McMillin Of
New York, John Hays Hammond Of
New York, Fairfax Harrison Of vir-
ginia, Luther Burbank Of California
and Hon. James Wilson. former Sec
rotary Of agriculture.
The plan adopted by the commission
Is first to create garden volunteers by
making the jewellers in cities and
towns realize the danger in the food
situation this year and then to give
these volunteers daily instruction in
gardening from the spfouting of seeds
, in hotbeds to the harvesting Of the ripe
crops.
The ambition of the commission to
create 100000 new gardeners is con-
sentative. The bureau Of education es-
Inmates that there are 100000 school
children capable Of cultivating garden
yards, while within our cities and
towns there is probably an equal num-
Der Of adults who have the leisure for
such work.
