New York

Or. +. 4. Strecker. of the Pennsylvania
Hospital staff. Kirkbrides, spoke at the
Hotel Astor. New York today before the
Medico-psychological Association on the
clinical aspects Of Late Katatonia." He
cited numerous cases from his experience
at the local hospital.
Doctor Strecker spoke especially on the
modifying effects Of certain incidental mem
tai and physical factors and raised the
question as to whether katatonia is a dis
ease or a symptom.
pr. Alfred Gordon, Of 1912 Spruce street
was another Philadelphan who appeared
before the association today. He spoke on
the "So-caled lucid interval in manic
Oppressive psychoses and its medico-legal
Importance" In his address Doctor Gordon
asserted that long duration Of the inter-

tai soundness. He also said prolonged oh
servation enables one to appreciate the
patients attitude from the standpoint Of
judgment on general and specific subjects.

At any affair, whether formal or infor-

that woman should dance only with her

ROCKS MAKE A GOOD WALK

We made walk the other day en-
tirelY out of rough "nlgger head" (slli-
scious) stones. These rocks were gath
cred out of the field where they were
In the way, and thus two purposes
were served by their utilization.
The method Of building was as sim
pie as the material used. A trench
was dug along each side Of the walk
and stones put into it, so that they
projected about an inch above the sur
face Of the ground.
The earth was packed back around
them to keep them firm. Then the
space between was covered with small
er stones, the middle of the walk be-
ing made higher, very little, than
the edges.
These stones were beaten down with
sledge so that one could walk over
them without too much injury to the
shoe leather, and the whole then COW
cred with sawdust and cinders.
This fills up the crevices and holds
the rocks steady until they settle into
place, and makes the walk smooth and
even.
There Is almost always a need for
more walks on a farm. Sometimes
there is a very pressing need. A few
hours work may save a wonderful
amount of mud-wadirg.
Materials for walks Is not hard to
find. Beside the standard brick and
concrete, there are shells, rough stones
of all kinds, gravel from creeks or
beds, clnders, sawdust and tan bark.
All these make good walks, although
the latter ones require frequent re-
newings.
Neither Is construction hard job.
The main essentials are good side lines
that will not be torn loose or heaved
out and that are straight and smooth,
and some provision for drainage.
The center of walk should be made
higher in practically all cases; and
where water is likely to stand on one
side, means should be provided to car
ry it off.
In the barnyard and other places
where a walk could not be very we'll
kept up, stepping stones, well placed,
will answer the purpose, and not only
save lots Of muddy walking, but also
help to get rid of any useless rocks you
may have scattered about in the way.

The first test a man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an eXami-

tial because the kidneys play most i'm
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric aCid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals. Coo package.
This An-u-ric is a late discovery of DR..
Pierce and is put up in tablet form, and
can be obtained at almost any drug store,
For that backache lumbago, rheumatism,
rusty" joints, swollen feet or hands, due
to uric acid in the blood, Anuric quickly
dissolves the uric acid as hot water does

SOME TRIED WINTER HINTS
By E. VAN sENTHuYsEN.

When the hanging basket looks
shabby, or Is Mt a standstill, it is very
likely 1t has been neglected as regards
watering. Remember 1t is wholly sur
rounded by air, and requires more
water than the potted plants.
Plants will not flourish If they
must breathe gas generated by coal or
wood in stove or furnace, or escaping
Illuminating gas. Stop the leaking
gas, and give ventilation by raising
and lowering a window at some dis
tance from the plants so that the cold
air may get warm before 1t strikes
the plants.
Liquid manure is valuable when
used with caution and good common
sense. Do not make It too strong
and thus injure the plants, and do
not give 1t to plants that are not grow
ing, or that are taking their annual
rest.
Turn the window plants often
enough to prevent them getting one
sided.
1t is good Idea to water the plants
in the evening so that the moisture
will penetrate thoroughly before the
sun dries it up.
Fuchias like some shade, and plenty
of mOisture-iust like the pansy.
If the plant appears sick, examine
It's roots. Perhaps you will find that
1t needs repotting. If dead or rotten
leaves are found, remove them. If
for any cause live roots are removed
through design or accident, be sure to
cut back the top to correspond. Then
give smaller pot than the plant pre-
viously had.
Give fresh air literally. Keep the
air moist. See that the plants are
kept clean.
Save the hen manure carefully. If
your soil is heavy, add wood ashes to
the hen manure, but if the soil is light
and sandy, use leaf-mold or rich loan.
Ornamental trees and shrubs may
be pruned any time during the win
ter If they need it. Bear in mind that
pruning should not destroy the char
acteristlcs of growth peculiar to the
tree or shrub. Cut back the too
prominent branches, remove those that
grow too closely together. If bloom
Ing shrubs are continually cut at the
ends of the branches they will in time
cease to produce flowers.
Watch the aphis and fight 1t from
the start, else it will destroy your win
ter garden. He assumes several guises
but all yield to tobacco or tea, smoke
or dust. Whale-oil soap and kerosene
emulsion also destroy the pest.
If blight attacks your begonias, cut
off all the leaves having a burnt ap-
pearance and burn them. Sift sui
phur on the plants. 1t will kill the
blight.
Plan now for next summers work.
Go into the garden, notebook in hand.
and decide just what assortment Of
flowers you wish in each bed and bor-
order accordingly.

OLD VETERAN IN NEW ARMY

Age seems to be no barrier for serv-

old-tmers remember June, who years

hundreds Of indianapolis tables. His
place OF business was opposite the
traction terminal station, and IT was
hts boast that he could furnish any
thing that could fly or swim.
June Is veteran Of the Civil war
and when war with Germany was de-
clGred his old fighting spirit was re-
vlyed. Because of his age, seventy
two years, he did not feel qualified to
shoulder n musket and go forth 10
slaN yet he wished to do his bit for
Uncle Sam, so he went out to Fort
Harrison ms cook.
lie served during the first officers
training camp and made good with n
vengeance. Then an entirely uneXpect-
ed honor was thrust upon him. He
was invited to go to France and cook
for the boys in the trenches. The
proposition nearly took his breath
but it did not take him long to make
up his mind.
"During the Civil war carried Il
gun and fought with the boys" said
Mr. June, "and why shouldn't cook
for them now? ! realize It Is no Sun
day picnic over there, but I do not
fear the outcome. l am healthy and
strong for man Of my years, and ]
guess I can stand it. At any rate, l
am willing to take chance for old
Glory"
