Planting Buibs

The easiest way to plant bulbs is to
use dibbls or bulb-planter. A dbl
bic ID. in its simplest form, only a
round stick slightly larger than the
bulbs, with one end pointed. Those
purchased at the stores usually have
q curved handle. A very good dibble
can be made from an old garden fork
or spade handle BY cutting It of about
a foot from the end. The handle will
be found convenient. You can be sure
Of planting the bulbs at a uniform
depth, II you measure the distance on
the dibble and drive a nail into the
wood or make a, chalk mark at TIE
right place. Some gardeners bainA

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL
There Was q Time When Job Of Look
Ing After Production Would
Have Been Sinecure.

The present-day restrictions with re-
gard to the use of coal would have
seemed very mild 10 our ancestors, re-
marks a writer In London Tit-Bits
There Is no doubt that the use Of what
used to be called "sea coal" to distin-
guish it from charcoal had Its draw
backs.
Many look forward to the time when
there will be no more smoky chimneys
in Britain, when the atmosphere Of
London will be as clean as 1t must
have been In the days of Good Queen
Bess. and when new building will not
be begrimed with SCOT almost as soon
as 1t is built.
In fine reign Of Edward the inhabi-
tants of London petitioned the king
against the growing use Of coal, declar-
ing that 1t was "a public nuisance. cor
rupting the air with its stink ond
smoke. to the great detriment Of their
health" Whereupon the king prohib-
tied its use, offenders to be punished
for a first offense by fine and for a
second to have their kilns and fur
naces destroyed.
The practice of using coal was at
length made capital offense and a
man was tried, condemned and hanged
for burning coal In London.
In those days the population of Eng
land probably did not exceed four or
five millionA and wood was plentiful
and cheap from the vast forests that
covered tens Of thousands of square
miles where now are great towns.

HOW TO AVOID INFLUENZA
Doctor Says to Cut Out Fruits, Sweets
and All Fried Foods.

To be immune from influenza cut
out fruits, greasy foods, sirups, confec-
tionery, honey and fried foods. This is
the advice of DR.. Frederick de Lue Of
Boston, an expert.
Here are some Of Doctor de Lue'e
influenza pointers:
Influenza bacillus locates most
readily in rheumatic people. Acids In
the system are the cause Of colds.
Chocolate that we give our soldier
boys makes acid, and acid serves as
food for the Influenza bacilli. Boiled
rice is a better ration than chocolate.

Upon investigation Of the milk
situation in Fargo, local dealers found
that milk is selling there six. quarts
for q dollar, while milk men here con-
tinue to keep the seven-quarts-for-a-

and labor, it was thought, could be
met with the cash system, which will
