Fruit Trees for Shade.

Popular Science Monthly: A con-
seryatiou of land space movement
in Germany some time ago resulted
in the utilization of dwarf varieties
of fruit trees instead OF much Of
the shrubbery planted merely for
ornamental purposes and in the
planting OF small trees close against
the walls of brick or stone houses
so that the branches could be trained
over the walls in the manner OF ivy.
Pear trees are pruned carefully and
trained to spread out over the walls
lust like vines. The practice is now
common in hard-pressed Germany,
and it likely to find favor in this
country. Pear, plum and other fruit
trees are thus trained over house
walls. fences and garden partitions
so that not an inch OF ground is
wasted. In this way, too, the trees
are prevented from throwing too
much shade over other growing
things in their vicinity, and the ap-
pearance OF the houses is, in add
ton, very considerably enhanced.

DREAMS OF THE PLOW.
Farming Is Pretty Good Job Any
Time, and Simply Great When
Things Are Going Well.

Farm and Fireside: Some days
run so smoothly. We wake up with
out the alarm or being called. We
get up early, and have time to har-
ness and feed before breakfast and
maybe pet the cat as he comes
stalking down the haymow stairs,
stretchy and sleey-eyed from the
night before.
We go over to the house and
have a little time to read the paper
something to think about at odd
times during the day when every
thing is going good. Breakfast
comes, and the coffee is as smooth
as velvet, the eggs are done to a
turn, the bacon is just as criSpy as
we like it, and the toast is as chum-
my as a smoking tobacco advertise
ment.
The time takes care Of itself. The
morning passenger whistles at 1855
and, looking across the ground we
have already turned, we suggest TO
ourselves, Say, this is going to be
some day to work." The furrows
turn so easily that we browse off
into bliSsful half Inconsistencies.
Our mind wanders. Now we build
a wonderful house, or make a vast
estate out Of the farm. A rich
friend dies and leaves us immense

any price. anything which will en-
able working men to produce part
OF their own food is, therefore, Of
most Importance
One OF the most direct benefits
from daylight saving will be the
great conservation of illuminants. 1t
is impossible to compute with any
degree OF accuracy the amount OF
electricity, gas and oil to be con-
served. The amount saved by gas
or electric Illuminating plants will
serve materially to help avert a re-
currence OF last winters coal short
age.
Foreign countries which put the
plan into effect found that not only
great amounts of coal were saved,
but that the practice of rising early
gave considerable stimulus to work
ers in the war industries. England,
France and Germany are we'll salts
fed with the experiment.
1t was pointed out while the day
light saving bill was being debated
in congress that the plan would
cause absolutely no disorganization
or diSlocation Of normal living CON
ditions. SO far as actual operation
is concerned, it may be forgotten
until the day comes in October to
revert the clocks to sun time.
The householder who has been in
the habit of rising at s o'clock will
get up at his usual Clock time, will
transact his daily business on his
usual schedule, and will retire at his
usual clock hour However, in all
these movements he viii be an hour
ahead of the sun.
The four times zones of the coun-
try-eastern, centra, mountain and
Pacihc-are retained, but the clocks
set an hour ahead Of standard sun
time. 1t was thought that some con
fusion might have attended the time
changes on the railroads, because OF
the thousands of trains in operation
when the clocks were moved for
ward last night. However, arrange.
mentS were made to avoid interrup.
tion or risk of accident.

While You Slept Old
Father Time Was Busy

Last night you lost an hours
sleep, probably without knowing it,
While you slept clocks all over the
city were moved forward one hour
in conformity with the daylight saw
ing law recently enacted by con-
gress. However, all will be compen-
sated for that precious 90 minutes
OF contentment next October when
all timepieces will be moved back
an hour.
Emulating a plan that has proved
uniformly successful in Great Brit
tain and continental Europe, the
government decided to adopt day
light saving as war conservation
measure. One lost hour last night
has gained millions Of daylight
hours that will be Of inestimable
value in speeding up the war.
Training of troops will be expe-
dited. Men working in war plants
all this summer will complete an
hours work before the sun gets high
in the sky, and will finish their days
work in time to have more daylight
for recreation or home gardening.
1t is expected that risk OF accident
in industrial establishment will be
reduced considerably because there
will be one more light hour instead
of dim one at the end OF the day.
Traffic and transportation will be
helped because the late day crush
will come in full daylight instead of
gathering twilight.
A general Improvement in health
and social welfare OF workers is
forecast. Also, it is claimed the last
hour OF sleep will be soundcr and
more beneficial because the sleeper
will not be exposed to the glare of
morning sunlight.
Proponents of the daylight saving
plan believe the extra hour well may
be devoted to home gardening, thus
relieving the national demand.
Prof. 7. N. Carver, of Harvard.
told congress committees that an
hours work a day in a garden will
produce an amazing amount OF
food"
Unless something unforeseen
happens he said, the world is go
ing to experience the greatest food
shortage in the next year that it has
known since the NapoIeonic wars.
The chances are that there will be
many hungry people in our cities.
not because there is not enough

plowed during the morning, and

 TO DEATH

This is not story of traitor or a German spy. It is the amazing recital case of Brights disease. The doctors said it could not be cured. His con- dition was pronounced hopeless, not only by private physicians, but also by doctors at the hospital. He went nearly blind. On advice of physicians he started to a noted hospital in New Orleans to have an operation perform ed on his kidneys. But he never arriv- there. He got so much worse on the train that the train crew put him off thinking he was going to die. A good Samaritan took him in, nursed him and gave him medicine restoring him to health. If you are afflicted with Bright's disease, or any disease of the kidneys or bladder, by all means write for free copy of the "Hobo' booklet containing the story of Joe O'Brien, as we'll as sworn testimony from many others who testify they have been absolutely cured by the Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy. You can get the remedy from your druggist or from the Hobo Medicine Manufacturing Co.,, Singer, La., direct. Price, $1 per package. Advt.
