Start Your Bulbs For
THANKSGIVING N0u

The last roses Of summer have bloom

accustomed to depend upon her own
garden for blossoms to decorate her
table or brighten her rooms is lost
indeed.

Flowers For Thanksgiving.
People wishing blooming flowers

that 1t k longer to get them start

than the last half. Last rear 1 start

and had them in full blossom for my
Thanksgiving table.
While there are various bulbs that

most easily handled by the am

Buy Good Bulbs.
Buy your bulbs at a high-class seed
store. For a dozen bulbs a shallow

diameter is needed. Have a quart

twice the size of a pea. Set the bulbs
upright in the pan and pour the peb-
bles around them. Leave a half
inch of the dried tops exposed. Cover
the whole with water and place in a
cool, dark closet or cupboard for
about three weeks. OF course the
water must be renewed as it evapo-
rates.
At the end of the three-week Pc
Rod bring them into the light, but
do not set them in the sun at first,
nor in too warm a place. Such treat
ment causes the leaves TO grow toe !

topple over. They should bloom in |
from three to four weeks.
Two Weeks Apart.
If sets of bulbs are planted in this
way two weeks apart the housewife
may always have a pan in blossom
during the winter months.
After Christmas bulbs need be
left in the dark only two weeks in |
stead of three. and as the season ad-
vanesc this time may be shortened.
Also they will bloom more quickly
when exposed to the light. A little
experimenting will teach the indoor
gardener much, and after a few at
it will be found that narcissi
especially can be brought into bios
almost to the day of a desired
date.

The Grand Old Salvation
Army Has at Last
Come Into Its Own

The Army and Navy fellows
returning home, to the last man, are it's
best witnesses.
Not one of the letters sent home
during the past four years to mothers,
wives, and other girls expecting to be
wives some day soon, was filled with
aught but heaped-up praise and thank
fulness for the angels of the night as
well as the day, who came like little
mothers to the wet trenches, caring for
the wounded and dying, and taking their
last messages to loved ones.
Can any of us hold back, now that
we are thinking of such noble deeds of
service, that none but woman could
give, in it's real fullness, heroic service?
Aye! More than that, it was holy
and Heaven-inspired.
Is there anything too much for us to
do to show our love and appreciation to
these lifesavers who risked their own
lives dozen times day?
Only few days remain for the
Salvation Army drive.
We must not lose another day.
