BEAUTY IN HOME GROUNDS
Much May Be Done With q Little
Care and Work, and the Results
Are Gratifying.

The ground surrounding the typical
city residence Is not a thing to catch
the eye In search Of beauty. Usually 1t
is a plain expanse Of lawn with here
and there a tree to relieve the monot-
Ony and provide some shade. A little
shrubbery around the porch is also fire.
Quently seen, but often 1t Is scrawny,
showing that 1t has been chosen at ran
dom, poorly planted and poorly kept.
This condition Is so general that the
exceptional yards seldom fail to attract
attention to themselves. and Incident
ally to the neglected yards.
The war garden movement last year
led many who had grown away from
planting to revert to the inherent in
stinct in every person to see things
grow and to help them. Many were
surprised that their small kitchen gar
dens began to take time which former
~ went to outdoor sports, and that the
pleasure was fully as great. The bene-
fits are likewise as readily recognize
able. II this interest can be sustained,
1t Is probable that there will be a re-
vival Of the home flower garden, and
more general interest In the beautiica-
ton of home grounds.

Thousands upon thousands Of women

result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy

Fuel May Be Cause Of Cancer,

A Scotch physician has Just COM
pleted an extensive series Of researches
into the incidence of canoe which lead
him to some novel conclusions. He
finds that in Scotland and the Scotch
islands the percentage Of cancer Is par
ticularly high in coal-burning districts
and low in peat-burning districts.
There are some exceptions to this rule
and In every such case he finds that
the peat-burning district with q high
death rate from cancer burns u peat
with a high percentage of sulphur.
Thus he concludes that Goals and peats
with a high sulphur content used as a
fuel have a direct connection with the
development of cancer.

The great war which has exerted
a disQuleting effect on many beneficial
activities the world over seems not to
have interfered with the progress of
American municipalities in doing the
things that should be done for their
citizens. From all parts Of the United
States go out reports of municipal
bond issues for new and extended
parks. The great cities of New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago are
not content with their expenditures OF
millions upon millions in years gone

more and more And their example Is
being followed by scores and hundreds
of smaller cities. The story Of how

Ashes for Garden.

In this day of great scarcity of pot
ash, wood ashes are coming into their
own as one of the best fertilizers
known. Not one ounce of wood ashes
should go to waste in any home where
there is a garden.
Keep a box large enough to hold sew
eral bushels of wood ashes, and into
this put the ashes from an ash pan.
Then, when the box is filled, sprinkle
the ashes over the garden. Potatoes,
grain, and all garden vegetables do
better by being fortified by wood
ashes.
