80 Usually in such an illness it
is well to take an active saline ca
thartic at the beginning, such as a
bottle of freshly prepared solution
of citrate of magnesia, or a dose
of EPSON salts with or without
Seidlitz powder for effervescence.
81 The diet while fever is pres

etable soups, perhaps some jelly,
custard, ice cream or other cool
delicacies.
~ Preferable to irritants exter-

good health your life is a bur
den. Are you ambitious for
success? Do you care for pow
Ter, advancement, and happi-
ness? Or do you wish to be Of
greater value to yourself, to
others or your country Then
you must surely have better
health. Drugs, patent medi-
cineS and poisonous HostfumS do
not develop good health. The
Indian medicine man does not
believe in poiSonS and harmful
drugs. He uses Natures re-
storative remedies, roots, herbs,
berries, flowers and vegetables
that he knows are of great help
ing power. Impure blood and
depleted nerves cause many sick
nesses and make you subject TO
contagious disease. No matter
what your ailment is, do not de-
lay, but seek a natural harmless
remedy and get well and strong

tent. We. have a special remedy

HOW PLANTS ARE MATED
Breeders Today Able to Control With
Much Definiteness the Char
acter of the Offspring.

Plants very commonly depend fol
their cross-fertilization upon insects
which carry pollen from flower to
flower. But, of course. the matings
thus accomplished are purely haphaz-
ard.
The plant breeder to get worth while
results must select the destined par
ents and control the character of the
offspring by making sure that par
ticular flower receives only certain
pollen, the latter being the male ele-
ment
He accomplishes this by artificial
impregnation--a matter easy enough.
especially in. greenhouse. The pollen
may be carried in a watchglass and
applied with the tip of little brush.
There are. however, other methods.
To make the flower safe against
other and accidental pollens; 1t is in
closed in tiny bag of cheesecloth.
Then the breeder. is sure of, his par
ents, and 1t remains only to be seen
how the offspring will turn out. It
may prove valuable new variety.
Suppose that a fruit is concerned.
The latter. to prevent injury by In
sects or birds, may be further pro-
tected by cheesecloth bag big enough
to allow for its full development.
Thus 1t grows to ripe perfection and,
when 1t is ready to be picked. judg-
ment can be given as to its value.

mem of the community are needed to
put the club on good financial foot
ing, which means that SO more of our
citizens who think enough of Kenne-
wick to subscribe $500 each month
for the betterment and advertisement
of the city.
On Friday, August LIST, about twen-
ty members of the club, after trying
day in their Offices and stores, donned
overalls and grabbed a rake or
shovel and went to work on the new
tourist park on the Columbia at the
N. P. bridge. The result is an ideal
camping ground for tourists who 90
away remembering pleasant night
spent on the banks of the Columbia.
AS one party told Mr.. Trenbath, who
had charge of the workers (and, by
the way, he is the only foreman we
have ever seen get in and dig with
his men) "It is the finest camping
spot have found this side of Salt
Lake City" And IF our geography is
not at fault, Salt Lake City is quite
a distance from Kennewick!
The Club, as reported in last weeks
issue, has. fathered the city park pro-
gram and a committee has been ap-
pointed, composed of A. F. Brown, +.
r. Jeffrey and J. j. Rudkin. This
committee is to cooperate with SIM
liar committees from the Woman's
and Business Girls clubs.
In addition to this it has been sue-
gested that each man, woman and
;hild in the district contribute S1.OO
q the park fund, and if you "kick
hru" it means park in the spring
instead of sitting back and bemoan-
ng the shortsightedness of our for
ner city fathers in not reserving s
nough property suitable for park.
