AMARYLLIS

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 loan,
with one-fourth part of leafmold, or
pulveriZed 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 a light shading
tends to preserve the blossoms longer.
To the gardener who has not as yet
experimental 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 amaryllis. Flaming
gorgeous colors have been produced
along with vari-striped effects quite
bewildering in their beauty.

TRY GROWING ORCHIDS
BY E. VAN RENTHUYsEN.

Contrary to the general opinion,
orchids are by no means difficult to
grow to their fullest perfection. An
other prevalent error is that the orchid
is exclusively a rich mans flower
This is by no means true, for 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 a collection of superla-
tive beauty. They require the proper
kind of a house, the correct materials
in which to grow them, care in water
ing and temperature and the same at
tentiOn that must be given to every
growing thing, but, given these, the
orchid will reward the grower most
abundantly.
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
binations of form, color, texture as the
orchid. OF all the flowers that have
been given US there is none to COM
pare with the orchid to embellish our
homes with their fresh loveliness 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 q passion,
the exquisite perfume varying from
the faint, delicate fragrance of some OF
the dendrobiums to the delicious and
almost Overpowering odor of the Ae-
rides and Epidendrums. .
Orchids can be grown in pots, pans
and baskets in fibrous peat, with prop
er 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.
lily and offers a bountiful field of en-.
joyment to the amateur. 1t is com.
posed of many varieties and an almost
unlimited number of hybrids, of be
wildering variations in form and color
They are of the easiest culture anG
bloom in the greatest profusion. This
| class is extremely low in price and of
fers untold enjoyment to the orchid
lover of limited means.
The odontoglossums are the most ex
tensively grown of all orchids. They re
quire an even, cool and moist tempera
ture throughout the year. They are
among the most easily cultivated, ant
reward the grower bountifully. The
flowers are fairly bewildering in theil
beauty and their unlimited variety o.

Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be-
lifted right ont with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority,
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug iC an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not indame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit of pain or soreness.

The great outdoors should claim some

Nothing is easier to grow and moth

new varieties closely resemble the
chrysanthemum. The flowers last for
a fortnight if the water in which they

Kidney & Co.
CBY DIR. J. H. WATSON

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. II we
are anxious 20 keep well and preserve
the vitality OF the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action OF the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than lithia
and tnat it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

orafts Wlth skin scraplnas.

A simple method of grating skin
Is described by Doctor Buermann in
the Muenchener. .Medizinische WOchen-
schrift. After rinsing the skin with
salt solution, he scrapes it with a razor
until he has collected ON the blade a
mass Of nushlike particles of skin.
He transfers this to the raw surface,
which needs no preparation.
A dressing of boric acid salve is al
lowed to remain unchanged for five or
six days. Then the surface is tightly
dressed with strips of plaster, which is
left on for a week before renewing
After two or three renewals the scarce
" visible particles Of skin have grown
and spread until they have covered the
raw surface.

The Two Sides.

The conflict of this world is between
the material and the spiritual. The
European war is an illustration of 1t.
That is material. All wars are ma
terial, because they depend on force,
and force is material. Guns, powder,
dreadnaughts, battles are all material.
Good will, reason, faith, friendship,
aspiration are all spiritual. Now the
most practical issue of the day is by
which influence is the world to be
ruled? If by materialism, we use hate,
slaughter, devastation, blood and ex-

human nature declines to bridge it and
take up the spirituality side. But it

Great Musicians Loved Silence

Among musicians taciturnity has al
ways been prevalent, both Beethoven
and Mozart being renowned among
their friends for their long periods of
silent thought and their dislike to the
chatter" of general conversation.
Even Chopin, whose Diusic would lead
one to suppose him fond of people,
was said to ''love silence even better
than music" while Wagner, except
when discussing musical matters, was
silent even to the point of actual rude
