HOME DEMONSTRATION NOTES.
(By Miss Alice FelloWs)


Let's plant our fall gardens before
it is too late and help fight the high
cost of living The fall garden
means not only a saving of money,
but the fresh vegetables are very
healthful. 1t is too late to plant
beans, okra, tomatoes and potatoes,
but there are a large number OF
vegetables that We can plant, and
have for late fall and winter use
The following is a list of vegetables
that may be planted now: Beets,
cabbage plants, carrots, collards,
garlic, onions, radishes, turnips and
Swiss chard.
In planting these vegetables, it
would De better if the land had been
prepar I'd two or three weeks ago,
and there had been several rains on
it, so it would be settled and firm.
If this has not been done, prepare
the land in rows and roll or drag
them so as to firm the soil before It
is planted It is not advisable to
plant in a loose seed bed. Plant the
seed in shallow drill in these rows,
and after covering them, firm the
soil with the foot or hoe. II it is
dry the seed will come up better by

GIANTS PLAYING OLD SYSTEM
Number Of Pennants Won by Red Sox
by Trimming Main Rivais-Mc-
Graw Doing Same Thing.

The Red Sox won number Of PEN
nants by trimming their main rivals
the Tigers and White Sox-consist-
emily.
They might blow few ignoble pas
times to others, including second d.
VISION clubs, but when they struck
these two teams they struck with win
ming force.
The Giants have adopted much the
same system this season in regard to
the Cubs. McGraw has always figured
Chicago the team he had to beat. Gin
cinnati may cross him in regard to this
conclusion, but that is the way he had
1t doped out. The Cubs are not out
of it by any means, but they can hardly
hope to beat the Giants out as long as
the Giants insist on tearing them apart
each time they meet when victory
brings a double reward in the percent
age column, lifting one club as II
pushes the other down.

CHAPTER VII.

David Eden smoked his after-dinner
cigar in his bachelor quarters. The
years had been good to the firm of
Coward & Eden; good far beyond
the witness of their first dreams. The
transaction Of the section bought from
the English absentee had been but the
beginning Of bigger and more daring
adventures. Coward, in that first
wild prophecy of his. had spoken of
city of Il quarter of million people
already more lots had been sold than
could he occupied by four times that
population,
Dave had often asked himself whore
1t all would end.
The firm of Coward &, Eden had
protted not the least in the wild years
of gain-getting, Their mahogany-fin-
iShed flrst-floor quarters were the last
word in Office luxuriance. Conward's
private room might with credit have
housed Il premier or president. It's
purpose was to be impressive rather
than to give any other service, as Con-
ward spent little of his time there. On
Dave fell the responsibility of office
and his room was fitted
foi efficiency rather than luxury. II

DIDN'T FEEzE HIS BROTHER

NIT That the Little Fellow
Was Afraid.

An indianapolis matron was giving

But at the supper table they did the
best. Suddenly the fuse burned cut
and the dining room was in darkness.
The hostess urged the children to sit
still until she could get some candles.
But you may eat what is on your
plates if you wish to while l am hunt
ing Them" she told them.
The youngest son of the parsonage
began to weep aloud. He was really
afraid, but his older brother offered
another explanation. "He doesn't know

house. "-Indanapolis News.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
