Avlator's Heart ENLARGED,

after five months Of experience In the

Tra%nsplanting Towering and vege'
table plants Is now greatly facilitated
by the use Of paper flower pots which
are nothing more or less than the ia
miliar paper drinking cups. For use
in the farm and garden these cups
are perforated and the seedlings are
grown in them In the nursery. When
It comes time to put the delicate plants
out in the open they are transferred
bodily, pots and all, and placed In the
ground. The transfer is attended by
no shock whatever, which Is rarely
the case when the roots are disturbed
during the operation as when removing
them from the little pots Of clay which
are generally used for this purpose.
The perforations enable the rootlets
to find their way beyond the limits OF
the pot, and so the paper does not In
terfere with their growth.

Then, as they sit around on the

"Doughboy chow" is good. Usually
there is soup. Then there are meat
and vegetables, usually two kinds.
There are always big slices Of white
bread and coffee. Nine times out of

or fruit.

Running Water In Houses, for In
stance, Was = Luxury Enjoyed by
Both the Roman and Early
Egyptian Civilizations

Many Of the so-called modern Inn
provements" of civilization, which %
largely contribute to the comfort OF
living, are by nc means so recent In
origin as we are disposed to imagine.
An eminent archeOlogiSt has recent
" declared, for example, that NerO's

more than doubtful that they were
ever used to carry human freight. Few
palaces or other buildings In ancient
Rome were more than two stories in
height, and passenger lifts" were for
that reason not needed.
We are accustomed to think Of run
ming water In houses as a mouern lux
ury. New York city did not have 1t
until 1176, when a reservoir was con
structed east of Broadway, into which
water was raised by pumping 1t from
wells dug for the purpose. But that
was a very primitive arrangement
compared with the system of ancient
Rome, by which water was brought
from great distances In a~queducts that
were marvels of engineering and that
emptied through lead pipes into thou
sands Of tanks Of hewn stone.
Erected at intervals along the streets
of Pompeii were pillars of masonry.
up which ran lead pipes; and on top
Of each pillar was u tank, from which
water was distributed by pipes to the
houses. All dwellings, except those of
the very poor, were thus supplied, and
some had nearly a score Of faucets,
controlled by stopcocks that were
much like those that are In use today.
At many street corners there were
fountains with stone basins, the edges
Of which even now show depressions
worn by the hands Of the people who
leaned over to drink. Those fountains
were fed by the city water. which was
brought by an aqueduct from a distant
place so elevated that the head" was
very powerful. That kind Of engineer
ing was highly developed in those
times. When julius Caesar first Wis
tied Alexandria in Egypt he found
there so complete an underground
water supply system that the city
seemed hollow underneath"

YANKEE NURSES

American nurses have been sent over.
Within the year there will be right

This is the estimate Of Miss Carrie

can Red Cross nurses in Great Britain.
OF the 10000 now here, between
600 and 100 are working in Great Brit
ain in the dozen OF more American
hospitals that have sprung into being
within the past six months. The re-
mainder are stating hospitals behind
the lines in France.
With the arrival Of American SOL
