It is Perfectly Wonderful the Way
Gauss Treatment Drives
Away Catarrh.

An excessive secretion from the
nostrils is an unsightly misery. A
breath tainted with the odor of ca
tarrh is an offense against all health
and decency. A stomach filled with
droppings from diseased nasal cava-
ties may cause untold misery and
ruins the complexion. The bowels
clogged with strings of ropy mucus
indicates IA body literally reeking
with catarrh, causing pimples,
blotches and other skin eruptions.
The blood swarming with millions
of catarrh germs, entails upon the
kidneys labor that may break them
down; the lungs and bronchial tubes,
scourged with the destructive infu.
ence Of systemic catarrh. can lead to
anemia and the most serious conse.
quences.

This Bird Can Sew.

The tailor bird" Of India is an ex-

cides to build a nest It chooses a leaf
that suits its purpose and perforates
the edges with its beak. Then 1t takes
a long piece Of grass fiber and sews
the edges together. making pocket.
IF the leaf Is not large enough, it Is
pleced out with another leaf. At the
end of the seam the bird makes knot

This pocket is not the birds home,

The nest Is made within the pocket.

SAVE THE LEAVES
FOR GARDEN FEED

A circular being sent out by the
State Council of Defense recommend!
the preparation OF war garden fci
next year. Save your own seeds, burr
the weeds and use all leaves for fer
tilizer. Bury them deep and leave
the ground light like a sponge.
This autumn is the time to apply
coarse manure--not commercial fer
tilizer, which should only be used
during the growing season. You are
not likely to apply too much compost
or manure. T ruck growers use as
'heavya coating as six inches. On E
plot twenty by twenty feet AGO to Coz
pounds can be used. Stable manur,
Is so scarce 1t is more than ever i'm
portant to save and use all available
leaves. The burning of leaves Is rank
waste. Manure is hard to obtain, but
every effort should be made to get /,
and put 1t on in the autumn insteaL
or In the spring. Arrangements
should be made, if possible, for fine
welllrotted manure or for commercial
fertilizer for use next spring.
There Is q shortage during the wal
of commercial fortified and it shoult
not be- put on before its plant food l.
needed or when it will seep away
Quick acting fertilizer applied in the
spring will give plants an early start
and help to produce early crops--a re
suit all gardeners desire.
