Hints Regarding
Care Of Plants

The pores of a house-plant must
be kept free from dust and dirt. The
plants should be removed to an
other room before sweeping. They
should never be put into pots too
large for them. 1t is better to re-
pot them oftener. When repott1ng
plants, take the plant with all It's
soil and transfer it to the larger
pot. Then soil should be applied
around the edges; but care must be
taken that not too much soil Is
added.

The state of Tennessee ratified the
outrage amendment, and was after
ward framed backwards by absenting
legislators, who "hid out" in Ala
