EMARYlLiS

The amaryllis is an extremely orna- mental plant with large, fragrant, beautifully colored flowers. To sue. cessfully grow them considerable at tention must be paid to the condition of the soil.
 The most suitable soil is good loam with one-fourth part of leafmold, or pulyerized manure, and some sand. As with other plants good drainage is very important.
 The growing season is from early spring until about September, when the plants should be kept cool and allowed to rest until February. They require plenty of sunshine but during the Towering season light shading tends to preserve the blossoms longer.
 To the gardener who has not as yet eXperimented with this plant, it is worth a try. New delight and interest comes with the growth of new plants each season.
 The past few seasons have seen some wonderfully beautiful results in the growing of amarylis. Flaming gorgeous colors have been produced along with vari-striped effects quite bewildering in their beauty.

New War Appliance.

X newcomer into the family of war apparatus is the motoreYee-carrying alrplane. special platform built between the planes, just outside the body of the airpIane, carries the mo toreyce. The addition of this machine greatly enhances the effectiveness of the airplane and affords d quick means of land travel in case of il shortage of gasoline or disability of the airplane engine. If the aviators who were lost in the Mexican desert during General Pershing's expedition had been equipped with motorcycles thei return to headquarters would have been q matter of only few hours instead of q three days wait fer the searching party.

Working in the earth brings health and a positive relief for the overWork= cd muscles and tired brains of the women who spend most of their time indoors.
 There should be little space given to phl0x-a most profuse bloomer, rich and varied in color and most effective when grown in masses. Mignonette, unequaled for fragrance, should not be left out.
 The great double peony-like poppies, with fringed petals of crimson. and pink and white, and almost purple are worthy plants.
 Nothing is easier to grow and noth- ing blooms more profusely than the aster. It is rich in color and few plants bloom so late. Some of the new varieties closely resemble the chrysanthemum The flowers last for fortnight if the water in which they are placed is changed frequently.

TRY GR0WINGA ORCHIDS
By E. VAN eEN1HuYsEN.

By E. VAN NH U SEN
 Contrary to the general opinion, orchids are by no meal s difficult to grow to their fullest per 'ection. An other prevalent error is tlat the orchid is exclusively a rich ma1's flower. This is by no means true, fer many of the varieties are relatively ineXpen- sive, and it is possible by the expendi- ture of a very limited amount of money to have collection of uperla- ve beauty. They require the proper k. nd of house, the correct ma erials in which to grow them, care inA ater- ing and temperature and the sape at- ten, on that must be. giyen@1o every greN ing thing, but even these. the orchi ! will -re.-ard' the grower most abuno --.1iy.
 orchids require plenty of light and air, but must not be exposed to the full sun. The proper shading of the orchid house in summer is very essen tial.
 No other flower of the floral king dom boasts of so many wondrous com DIltdtlOl1S oI lti III, 1OIbIs ItAluIt dS tIlt orchid. Of all the flowers that have been given us there is none to com pare with the orchid to embelish our homes with their fresh loyeliness of form and color, or for personal adorn- ment.
 No other flower so persistently ap- peals to the refined taste of those to whom orchids have become passion, the exquisite perfume varying from the faint. delicate fragrance of some of the dendrohiums to the delicious and almost oyerpowering odor of the Ae- rides and EPidendrums.
 Orchids can be grown in pots. pans and baskets in fibrous peat, with prop CT drainage. While they require shad- ing in the summer, dark houses should be avoided, and the air should be ad- mitted whenever possible.
 Cypripedium is one of the most in- teresting branches of the orchid fam fly and offers q bountiful field of en- ioyment to the amateur. It is com posed of many varieties and an almost unlimited number of hybrds, of be- Wildering variations in form and color They are of the easiest culture and bloom in the greatest profusion. This class is extremely low in price and of fers untold enjoyment to the orchid lover of limited m0ans.
 The odontoglossums are the most ex- tensiyely grown of all orchids. They re- quire an even. cool and moist tempera- ture throughout the year. They are among the most easily cultivated and reward the grower bountifully. The flowers are fairly bewildering in their beauty and their unlimited variety of colors and markings. Many of them are very lowpriced, making it possible to have an extensive collection.

"oooANDS OF THIN, FRAIL PEOPLE ARE RESTORED TO HEALTH BY TAKING
 TANLAc,
FIGURES ARE ASTONISHING
People of Prominence and Unques. toned Integrity Tell What ceIe. brated Medicine Has Done
 for Them.

hNE or the most noteworthy fea- o lures in connection with Tanlac and the one that stands out more prom lnehtly than any other, perhaps. is the very large number of well-known men and women from all parts of the South Who nave recently reported astonishing and rapid increases in weight us a re- suit of its use.
 When so many well-known people of unqnestioned integrity make state ment after statement, each cOrroborat- ing the other, the truth of such state ments can no longer be doubted.
 Thousands have testified that this famous medicine has completely re- stored them to health and strength, after every other medicine and the most skilled medical treatment have failed.
 One of the most remarkable cases on record is that if Mrs Viola Ives, of 315 Cross Street, Little Rock, Ark, whose statement appears below.
 Tn May of 1913," said Mrs. Ives, q suffered a complete breakdown of my nerves and my entire system gave way. About six weeks afterwards was carried to the hospital. I became perfectly helpless-couldn't move any part of my body and just lay there 1T bed for five months, not knowing any thing or anybody. 1 was brought home in October, 1913, and tried all kinds ot medicine and everything I was tolt about.
 T read about so many people get ting relief by taking Tanlac and my husband got me a bottle. After talk ing three bottles I began to feel bet ter. I have taken several bottles o1 Tanlac now and I can walk anywhere and sleep like a child. When I tool my first dose of Tanlae I weighed onl! one hundred and twenty-two pounds I now weigh one hundred and sixty two-an actual gain of forty pound: since I started on Tanlae."
 Texas Man Testifies.
 Another remarkable ease was tha of John NJ Crabtree q general mer chant at Five Mile Station \, Dallas Tex.
 T have actually gained thirty-foul pounds on three bottles of Tanlac an( I now know what it is to enjoy good health after suffering for twenty years" said MT Crabtree.
 "I suffered with catarrh of the stom ach and indigestion for twenty years and for eighteen months, before start ed taking TanIac, I had to live almost entirely on cereals. I spent nearly ali of one whole year in bed and was un. able to do anything at all and l fell off in weight to 1lS pounds.
 "After using my third bottle of Tan lac I found I had increased in weight from 11S pounds to 152 pounds, mak. ing an actual gain of thirtyfour pounds all my troubles were gone, and was feeling like another man."
