Prevention.

sects and diseases out, and thus save

which usually must be planted on the
same ground year after year.
Some of the worst gard trouhIas
are brought In on the roots of plants
and remain In the soil to attack the
next crop. So in buying plants of any
kind one should be sure that thew are
healthy and free from insects. The
roots should be clean and fbrous not
swollen or knotted. Southern garden
ers In particular should be ON the
watch against roOt-knot. Cabbage and
caulifiower plants should be inspected
for clubroot and sweet potato plants
for black-rot. Irish potatoes should
be treated for scab before planting.
Control Insects That Spread Plant
~ Diseases.
Many insects not only attack the
crops directly but also carry plant
diseases. Thus, the striped cucum-
bers, squashes, melons and related
plants; plant-lice carry the cucumber
mosaic, the potato fiea-beetle, the bac-
terial wilt, and various other insects
occasionally carry spores from dis
eased to healthy plants.
Avoid Wounding Plants.
In cultivating or working around
plants, avoid wounding or breaking
them. In pruning make clean, close
cut. In harvesting fruits and vege-
tables that are to be stored, handle
with the greatest care to avoid bruis-
ing, as decay most frequently begins
where the natural protective covering
is broken. Certain insects, such as the
potato tuber moth, also gain access at
such points.
Sanitation.
Neatness, cleanliness, and order in
the garden help in the fight against
insects and diseases. AS general
rule, the residue of the garden, such
as cornstalks, potato tops, etc, are to
be turned under to improve the soil.
Do this promptly, so that insects and
disease spores may not be harbOred by
the rubbish. In some cases, which
will be pointed out later, diseased veg
etable remains should be taken out of
the garden and burned. Weeds in the
garden and around it harbOr both in
sects and diseases, particularly if the
weeds are related to the cultivated
plants.
Just as soon as any crop is gath
cred, spade up the ground and plaAt
something else. Except in the extreme
North, rye or oats can be sOwn to give
winter cover.
Crop Rotation.
Farmers have found that by rOtat-
ing their crops they reduce the injury
from plant diseases and insects and
also increase the fertility OF the soil.
This principle applies to the home gar
den, where, If possible, it will be bet
ter to make a new plan each year,
placing each vegetable where some
other grew the year before-peas on
the old tomato ground, beets and car
rots after the corn, etc. The Diet. III
of this rotation must vary in each ,a,>'r
according to the climate, soil and
grown and the diseases anu
insects to be guarded against.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition. they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

officer who was with Admiral Sims
In English waters. 1t was heavy,
foggy, night. Every vessel was fog

wireless message to the admiral
from ships officer reading:
"Am fog-bound. Shall proceed to

Admiral Sims. being fog-bound him

STORING UP VITAL ENERGY
Without Process That Goes On During
the Hours Of Slumber Life Could
Not Continue.

Following is from Practical Thera-
peutics by Henry Lindlahr, nj. d.:
During sleep the liberation of vital
energy In the body continues as dur
ing the wakeful hours Of active work.
but none is expended. The body acts
as storage battery. A reserve OF
vital energy is thus accumulated for
the work of the following day.
"The moment consciousness wakens
and mental activity begins the expend-
iture of vital force commences.
ut is for these reasons that nothing
can take the place of sleep as re-
storer of vital energy. No amount OF
food and drink, no tonics or stimulants
can make good for lost Sleep"

House of Paper.

When you think of paper house
you think of China and Japan.
But that Is not the only place where
such material has been used In build

A paper house was once erected In
Hamburg. 1t was used as a restau-
rant. It's walls were made OF double
layers of paper stitched on frames
and impregnated with fire and wa,
terproof solution.
The roof and walls were fastened
together by means Of bolts and hinges,
so that 1t was collapslble. The din
ingroom was capable of holding $50
people. There were % windows, four
skylights and the heating was effected
by couple Of isolated stoves.--Bos-

ARP[ANE TO CARRY
TROOPS AND GUNS
Secret Experiment BY British
Government on Way to
Success.

LONDON. Sept. 6.-The British
governments experiments with "air
troopships" at an aIrdrome near
London have proved a success. II was
learned today. They were conducted
with great secrecy under the direc'
ton OF Secretary of War Winston
Churchill.
The "air troopships" arc airpianes
OF Unprecedented size, built by the
Vickers, Limited. the company which
constructed the "vlkers Vimy." the
airplane in which the late Capt. Sir
John Aicock and Sir John Whitten
Brown crossed the Atlantic ocean.
The air ministry refused to permit
any indication 10 be made OF the de-
scription of the super-air plane with
which the experiments were made,
or the number OF men IL carried.
According to reports the air min
istry planned airplanes big enough
10 carry light artillery as well as
troops.
In the, past the most difficult fea-
ture which confronted the practlca-
bility of the super-airplane was the
problem OF getting II into the air, the
weight OF the machine being 30 great
as to necessitate an extraordinarily
long run on the ground before 1t
gained sufficient flying speed to
carry IL from the ground. A giant
plane recently ran for half a mile on
an airdrome near London and then
crashed into fence as II did not
have sufficient speed TO clear the OBJ
struction. The pilot, Captain Dunn,
was killed.
