demand as they have been by south

new name by which to describe these
very smart clothes that retain flavor
of sport attire, even when they are
made Of rich materials. "Pastime

more close to fitting their character
than any other term suggested. NO

informal. They are here to stay, for
they are very becoming they succeed
in shaving off years in the appear

EYES TELL SEAT OF DISEASE
Application OF "Iris Science" II Is As.
serted, Is a Practically Certain
Diagnosis.

Just as we find the state OF the
weather by reference to a barometer.
so can we tell whether a person is In
good health by examining the eyes.
This method of diagnosing disease
from the eyes is known as the
"iriscience," and, according to DIR. An
deron of Denmark, is the only reliable
method by which the seat Of a disease
can be discovered.
The science was discovered by q
Hungarian, according to London An
swers. During boyhood he caught an
owl which had broken Its leg, and
noticed that a black spot appeared
in a certain part of the iris. Some
years later he noticed the same black
SPOT in the iris of man who had sus'
tained a broken leg. The experience
caused him to investigate and he
found that every disease could be
read from a certain portion OF the
iris.
When a disease is cured white lines
inclose the dark spot that proclaimed
the disease. From this the stage o.
the disease can be ascertained. u
the white lines do not entirely sur
round the dark spot the disease L
not completely cured.
Drugs are always clearly shown

Considered from all viewpoints this
is an extraordinarily good home build
ing design. It will go on a compara-
lively small lot, and at the same time
provides a comfortable and convenient
home for a good-sized family. Also 1t
can be constructed at a reasonable
cost.
In selecting a plan for home, every
builder is guided more or less by
homes he has seen, or by building de-
signs he has inspected. This design
is a good one, but it may not exactly
conform to the ideas of the prospec-
tive builder as to what the interior
arrangement should be.
Every plan an architect draws Is
susceptible TO change. This plan Is nc
different than the average. The size
and shape Of the house shown in the
illustration is such that any changes
the prospective builder wants can b'
easily made.

In many parts Of the country there
is a shortage of materials, such as
lumber and brick, that ordinarily are
used in home construction. This
shortage bids fair to become greater
as the home building season advances
and will bring disappointment to many
who had counted on building homes
of their own this year.
The perfection Of the concrete BLOCH
building unit, however, will solve tht
problem for many home builders. Dur
ing the last few years there has beer
great advance in the manufacture
of concrete blocks and now they ranl
with the best of building materials
The advantage of using blocks Is tina
they are made near the place wher
they are used, which saves grea

son. Consequently any practice when

a well-established fact that compara-
lively heavy pruning is a great stimu-
liant to shoot growth, a stimulant IN
the sense of causing larger and strong
err. though fewer shoots. In other
words, while heavy pruning does not
cause the tree to produce more total
shoot growth, 1t reduces the number
of new shoots and those which do
grow are correspondlngly longer and
stockier. In the very young trees we
expect to retain only few shoots,
enough to form the main scaffold limbs
and their branches, and we want these
to be as strong and vigorous as pos
sible. Hence we desire only few &c

wish to retain, thus giving us a choice

Prune Severely.

In the case of the tree little older
(three or four years., we expect to
retain a larger number and also larg-
err proportion of the shoots because
then we are developing the branches
and sub-branches of the scaffold limbs;
and we still want enough shoots pro-
duced so that some choice may be
made between them. With these gen.
eral considerations in view 1t becomes
evident that the very young tree should
be pruned severely, but as 1t becomes
older and larger pruning decreases IN
severity. 1t is impracticable to at
tempt to reduce this general principle
TO a definite rule to be followed with
all trees. Good judgment should be
exercised In its Interpretation. How
ever. II NAV be a kind of a guide to
some to state that the amount OF prun-
ing to be given after the first years
growth in the orchard should In aver
age cases remove perhaps three
fourths Of the shoot growth Of the
preceding year; the second pruning
should remove perhaps two-thirds OF
the shoot growth Of the second sea
son: the third pruning should remove
half to twO-thirds Of the shoo'
growth of the third season, and the
fourth pruning probably should re
move something less than half o.
the shoot growth Of the fourth season
Pruning the fifth and sixth seasons
should be somewhat less severe.
Heading Back and Thinning.
When 1t is suggested that the mrs
pruning should remove approximate:
. tbreefourths Of the shoot groWu
made by the tree during its first yea
in the orchard. this does not meal
that three-fourths OF all the shoot
, should be cut out Of the tree. Pron
|, ably a third to a half should be re
, moved. and the remainder cut back I
: a half or a third, or In some cases
/. quarter, of their length In othe
: words, the pruning should consist par
Nv in a thinning out and partly In
heading back. The same statement
hold for the pruning Of trees itu
: older. except that as the trees oecom
. older relatively more Of the prunin
should consist N thinning out ana GO
rsspondlngly less In heading back.
