Your War Garden

Summer temperature for several
days has warmed the ground, and
with apple trees now in blossom 1t Is
safe to assume that the danger of frost
is practically over. The time has then
arrived. or will within the next ten
DAYS when it will be entirely safe to
plant all the more tender varieties CT
vegetables and plants. 1t will be safe
this week to set out tomato caItli-
flower, egg plants, and pepper plants
Beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, melons,
pumpkin, squash, wrinkled peas,
melons and lima beans can be planted
now or at any time soon.
The temperature of soil will be
found to vary considerably depending
on the physical qualities of the soil
and the way the land lies. Heavy loan
or clay loans are slowest in warming,
and when such soil lies on northern
slope it is still slower Such soil on
southern or southeasterly slopes will
be warm much sooner than if the land
lies sloping toward the north. Sandy
loans. being light and most easily
penetrated by the heat rays, warm
quickest. but have the disadvantage Of
drying out quickest and require more
rainfall than black loan and clay
loan. And the latter, while slower to
warm in the spring, practically never
becomes entirely depleted of their
moisture if frequently cultivated.
Caulitiower furnishes delicious
garden vegetable that, gathered fresh
for the table discounts, because of it's
freshness the caulihower that can be

rich, moist soil, and requires an album
dance of water. 1t Is sensitive to botn
cold and heat, and is by no means an
easy crop to grow successfully without
irrigation, but it has been successfully
grown in many gardens in this city
for years.
The plants should be set out at once,
so that the heads will mature before
hot weather begins. The plants should
be set eighteen inches apart in the
rows, and the rows two feet apart Tor
hand cultivation.
Culture of caulifower is the same
as cabbage and it is subject to the
same insect pests. The cultivation
should be frequent, and worms should
be guarded against by hand picking. II
there are only a few plants. AS soon
as the heads begin to develop the
large leaves should be tied up over the
heads to shade and protect them until
they mature Anyone who succeeds IN
growing high grade cauliflower in the
open qualities as a good gardener.
Turnips supply an abundance of sood
food from a small patch C ground
They may be grown either for a mid
summer or fall crop. For mid
summer crop plant the seed now IN
drills about eighteen inches apart ana
thin out tie plants when they are
small to stand three or four inches
apart in the rows. Late in June, or IN
July the seed can be sown broadcast
and the crop need not be gathered
until the first frosts come. This crop
can be stored over winter. Turnlps
make a good second crop to plant on
patches that have been cleared OF
early season vegetables.

At the Strand.

la Tosca." with Pauline Frederick
IN the leading role, which has been ar
ranged for the screen from Sardous
play, is the principal attraction at
the Strand.
The story Of the young singer WhS
avenges her lovers torture and the in
suits to herself by stabbing old Baron
Scarpia, chief of police, and then
finding that her lover actually. has
been shot in spite of a promise to thu
contrary, leaps to her death from the
parapet of the castle of st. Angelo.
Rome. Is too we'll known to be given
at length.
Infinite care and attention to the de-
tails of the production are apparent In
the handling of the theme. The sup
per scene, where La Tosca is pleading
for the life Of Mario. her tiance, Is
stirring. and one of the strongest mo-
ments in the play. The splendid Gil
max when La Tosca, finding that she
has been betrayed, filings herself over
the parapet, is magnifcently done.
Miss Frdrick as La Tosca, the
beautiful Italian singer, leaves noth-
ing to be desired in the Interpretation
Of the part. Frank Losee, as Baron
Scarpia, gives a clear-cut portrayal OF
the treacherous, rentless old man
hunter and Jules Raucourt as Mario
Henry Hebert as Angletotti, and W. II.

Now that so many American women
are stepping into business, the practi-
cal street frock steps out of the back
ground and demands attention. And
really the seasons newest business
frocks are 80 smart and jaunty that
almost any one would be tempted to
join the eight hour a day class Just in
order to wear one of them.
Miss Business Woman in the pic
ture has an exquisitely tailored frocls
Of tan tricotine trimmed witk navy
blue buttons and unique pockets
quantity tied. The roll collar on her
frock is Of white georgette as is the
tiny gilet which is embroidered in navy
yarn. Her sailor, and Of course Miss
Business Woman has at least one
sailor hat, is of rough straw and also
navy blue.
She cannot. however, give up all OF
her fads and fancies Just because she
is in business and so she insists on
wearing dainty high-heeled patent
leather oxfords.

New Yspor Way
Of Treating all
Cold Troubles
North Carolina Druggist lnvents
SaIve That Is Vaporized by the
Body Heat.
NOTHING TO SWALLOW;
YOU JUST RUB 1T ON
Particularly Valuable to Mothers With
Small Children. Local Druggists
Are Offering Csc Jars on 80 Days
Trial,

Colds are simply infiammations Of
the air passages and everybody knows
that the only way to reach the air
passages direct is by means of vapors
that can be inhaled. The old-fashioned
vapor treatments however were cum
bersome and costly, but a North Caro-
lima druggist solved this problem by
inventing a salve that is vaporized by
the body heat.
This preparation, known as Vick's
VapoRub is now being introduced
here. The local druggists know the
danger Of constant dosing" especially
to small children and are anxious that
all their customers should try this new
"outside" treatment. Arrangements
have accordingly been made with the
manufacturers to sell the small size
jars, price Csc, on 80 days trial-no
charge to be made If the customer is
not delighted with the results.
For deep chest colds, sore throat,
bronchitis, tonsilitis, or incipient pneu-
monia, VapoRub should be applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
a warm flannel cloth. The vapors
arising carry the medication, with each
breath, to the air passages and lungs.
In addition vapoRub is absorbed thru
and stimulates the skin taking out that
tightness and soreness in the chest.
For head colds. hay fever, catarrh
or asthmatic troubles VapoRub can
either be applied up the nostriis or
little melted in spoon and the vapors
inhaled. Group is usually relieved
within fifteen minutes and one appli-
cation at bed time prevents night
attack.

available, and substitutes must be pur-
chased in equal amounts at the same

The local food administration has

tailers, mills, and jobbers-the cards
which prescribe the respective allow

AS a concrete example take a family
of five persons. ItSwould be allowed
seven and one-hak pounds of -four
per week. or thirty pounds per month.
The flour may be bought at one time,
or at different times, but once bought
no more than the maximum allowance
NAV be purchased during the month.
On the other hand if a family does not
Use one and one-half pounds per per-
son per week, no credit is allowed on
the next months purchases. In other
words, if family Of five should use
twenty eight pounds in May, it can
not buy thirty-two pounds In June.
The patriotic thing to do is to use an
der the limit if possible each month, for
each pound under the maximum is
that much saved.
Each card issued by the retailer to
his customer goes in duplicate to the
local food administration. 1t goes over
the cards and has an absolute check
on each family, knowing whether 1t is
using Its full amount, or saving -four.
The food administration also will know
II any consumer is violating the law
by buying more than he is entitled TO

With the flour cards retailers also
were furnished with the blanks issued
by the administration which permit
