RECOGNIZE VALUE OF BEAUTY
Los Angeles County Property Owners
Wise In Planting Flowers on
Borders of Roads.

Los Angeles county, California, is
the American Riviera, and in no way is
the visitor more reminded of the beau
ty of the famous Mediterranean play
ground than in the treatment Of the
roadsides," says the American High
way association. ''There is one broad
boulevard where, for IS miles one trav-
els between continuous rose bowers
backed with palms or frs. About fifty
thousand rose bushes of fifty varieties
were used in this landscape gardening.
"In many places the roads wind
through orange, lemon and walnut
groves separated from the roadway
by masses of rose bushes four to six
feet high, which charm the eye and
fill the air with fragrance even in
December.
"The work was done by individuals,
but it was so successful that about two
years ago a committee was organized
to carry on such roadside treatment
on a larger scale and in accordance
with comprehensive plans. Funds were

forestry department was placed in
charge of the execution of the project.
About two hundred miles of road
now have 80 road trellises to the mile
of highway. Each trellis is 20 feet
long, five feet high and supports five
bushes. Fifty varieties of roses are
used, and give an attractive combina-
ton Of colors. In addition, peoples,
petunias and geraniums, which grow
luxuriantly in that climate, have also
been used along the boulevards, and
palms and eucalyptus trees have been
set out where necessary to break fiat
monotony or furnish background"

In spite of the best care one takes
Of oneself, any part Of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals Of
distress are easily recognized and In
clude such symptoms as bsckache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, govt.

kidneys to their normal state Of health, I"
says DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. ", lis to
drink plenty Of pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex
pensive and should be taken before meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than

POULTRY WANT WATER FIRST
During Winter, First Thing Fowl Does
on Leaving Roost ls to Make
Search for Drink.

In winter, as in summer, the first
thing fowl does when 1t leaves the
roost is to hunt the water pan, and
nearly the last thing before going on
the roost is to drink. If the water be
Icy cold they will cut the drinking
short but If warm they will drink
plenty. If the weather be freezing,
several times a day go around with
the boiling tea kettle warming up the
water. About three in the afternoon,
ms have for years noticed, the laying
hens hunt the shell or lime supply.

Mrs. J. s. Pugh, $40 Market St.,

both of Fulton, Mo-, have found, In
common with many other Missouri
mothers, that it is no longer necessary
to dose children with internal medi-
cines for cold troubles. In the South
Vick's Vap-O-Rub is the standard
remedy for these troubles, but it was
only last winter that it was introduced
here. Vap-o-Rub was discovered by
a North Carolina druggist. He found
how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Thyme, Euca-
lyptus, Cubebs and Juniper, in salve
form, SO that when applied to the
body, the ingredients are vaporized
by the body heat.
These vapors are inhaled with each
breath, through the air passages, to
the lungs, carrying the medication d.
rect to the affected parts, and, in ad-
dition, Vick's is absorbed through the
skin, taking out the tightness and

PLAN TO MOVE LARGE TREES
Best Time for Working Is When
Ground Is Frozen--Simple Ar
ranaement is illustrated.

The arrangement illustrated is very
simple, and big tree may thus be
taken up and replanted. First dig
around the tree, preferably when the
ground is frozen; don't injure the
roots by going too near; take up
large clump Of dirt. Place connecting
piece of the standards against the
tree, to which fasten with ropes, wind
ing a cloth around to prevent barking
the tree. One or two horses hltched
to the rope will easily raise the tree
with ball Of earth, and swing it onto
the waiting stone-boat, on which you
may haul it TO the planting place.
There dig hole sufficiently big, set
the tree, and ill and ram the earth
securely into place. Then trim the
tree branches little-to make up for

1t is too little appreciated that results
from ornamental-tree planting. or its
neglect, are to continue indefinitely.
In the generations to come tree-lovers
will be praising the good taste and
good judgment Of the planters and
caretakers before them, or will be critl-
Ching the injudicious work, or the en-
tire absence of what should then have
been DONE"

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or calIus SO 1t lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

KEEP FARM EQUIPMENT BUSY
Prosperity Begins When Farmer Real.
ICES He lie Business Man--Fac-
tory Conditions Prevail.

The aim of a factory is to keep the
equipment busy as many hours in the
week and as many weeks In the year
as possible. The same needs to be
done on the farm.
Prosperity begins when the farmer
realizes that he is business man and
that his farm is a factory.
