FOR THE AMATEUR GROWER
By LIMA r. ROSE.

Flowers should have a friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. They
often make 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; zin-
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 soft, thick turf on
your lawn? 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 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 a
| fine garden soil. Put half an inch of
soil on at 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 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 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 il
! them.
/ AS soon as the potted plant fills the
| pot in which it is planted with roots
| give them a larger pot or prune il
down and prune the roots so as tC
| make fewer of them. Unless this is
| done the plant soon becomes pot
bound and begins to deteriorate.

Died Of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or so years of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
auto-intoXication. The more injuri-
GUS the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or.
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It 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 Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can b.
obtained at almost any drug store. Yol
will find Anuric more potent than lithi;
for it dissolves uric acid as water doe
sugar.

Pronunciation.

A study of individual pronunciations
suffices to show that many accepted
rules of speech exist only in imag-
ination, and are regularly broken
very often unconsciously-even by
those who delight in laying down the
rules, says London Chronicle. Mr..
Daniel Jones, one of our leading au-
thoritfes on English pronunciation,
tells an amusing story in support of
this statement. He had remarked that
most educated people pronounce sal
ways as If it were written "orlwiz." !"
One stately old dame was Mortified
at the idea, and repudiated the mere
thought. She summed up the whole
discussion by declaring with an air of
finality, Personally I Orlwiz say
'alwaysT" The only test of what is
correct pronunciation is to find out
what is the general practice of edu.
Gated people.

Plant Grapevines.

seeds, as do coleuses. Plant the seed
in very fine soil in a 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.
1 like to see flowers about house
and doorway. I do not remember to
have ever seen an anarchist wearing
buttonhole bouquet or a very bad
citizen whose house and yard con-
tained flowers.
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 of
every flower as soon as it begins to
fade. This is especially true Of sweet
peas and pansies.

LIFT YOUR coRNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How TO loosen q tender corn
or callus so Il lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter ;
wear shoes a size smaller If you like,
for corns win never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even Irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet
II your druggist, hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
Wholesale drug h0use.-adv.

The TRUTH ABOUT
ECZEMA AND PILES

Thousands and thousands Of people,
says Peterson, are learning every week
that one 25-cent box of Peterson's Oint-
ment will abolish Eczema and Danish
piles, and the grateful letters I receive
every day are worth more to me than
money.
I had Eczema for many years on my
head and could not get anything to do
it any good. I saw your ad and got one
box and I owe you many thanks for the
good it has done me. There isn't blotch
on my head now and couldn't help but
thank Peterson for the cure is great.

PLANT GRAPEVINES FOR
BEAUTY


To me the wild grapevine produces
the sweetest odor of any plant in ex-
istence. The wild grape is a handy
vine, growing with scarcely any at
tention. It can be made to cover a
side fence as :. dense hedge, or trained
over a trellis or up shade trees.
Young plants may be secured in al
most any wood or along bushy fence
rows. They are transplanted in late
fall or winter. Grapevines of every de-
scription are attractive, however. The
blue grape with its wealth of luscious
fruit should find place on the home
grounds.

HOW ABOUT A SMALL WATER
GARDEN?

A miniature water garden is practi-
cal and will prove most interesting,
needing less attention than a flower
bed of the same size. Have sugar
or vinegar barrel cut in two, or use
a wooden tub. Sink this in the soil.
Make a potting box about II inches
square and fill with rich mud from a
pond, or use half-inch loan, adding to
the mud or loan about one-third Of
Well-rOtted manure.

Duration Of Human Life.

The average duration of human life
is about thirty-three years. One-quar-

fore the age of six; one-half before the
age of sixteen, and only one of every
100 lives to the age of siXty-five. The
average age, however, is slowly in
creasing, probably owing to better sani-
tary conditions, and greater medical
skill.
