Feed Garden Plants.

If your garden was not made very rich at planting time, feed it as you go along. This is easily done by scat tering commercial fertilizer between with hoe or rake. The rain will soon wash it down to the roots. There is less waste by this method than when all the fertilizer is applied early in the spring, and the plants respond quickly Use balanced fertilizer for most crops, but nitrate of soda for lettuce and other leafy vegetables. Take care, however, that it does not come in contact with the plants them- selves, for it will burn them.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
 SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi- cine.
 It is physicians prescription.
 Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad- der do the work nature intended they should do.
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.

It has been said that not one woman in thousand passes this perfectly natural change without experiencing train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sinking spells, spots before the eyes. dizzy spells, nervousness, are only few of the symptoms. Every woman at this age should profit by Mrs. Block s experi- ence and try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound.
 If you have the slightest doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound will help you, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,, Lynn, Mass. about your health. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by woman, and held in strict confidence.

Pius Mothered by Hen.

An account of strange adoption cones from an Alberta (Canada) reader
 He says that hen on his deceased brothers farm in Ontario adopted some young pigs. The SOW had far rowed in one end of log barn to which she had access, and close to a hen that was sitting on some rotten eggs. After the little pigs came, some of them used to crawl under the hen for warmth, so she seemed to think the whole bunch were as much hers as the sow's. She would go around with them during the day and when night came would sit on as many as she could cover It was amusing to watch her antics after the pigs grew too big for her mothering instinct.

By ROSE MEREDITH


 Miss Mamie Smith left the post of flee and stepped down the village street with eager feet. Her faded eyes were fixed on Emeline Taylor's little brown house, and with the enthusiasm of the born gossip she was picturing the cozy warmth of Mrs. Taylor's sit ting room, and hoping that the old lady was all alone.
 I've got to know about this postal card-shes so close-mouthed, it's a wonder she would let me stop for her mail. But I suppose Mittie Weed can't be trusted, she's such feather-headed piece to take care of sick woman, if 1t is only rheumatiz " Her thin, pink as she went into the yard and around the path to the side door entrance, where glass doors led into a neatly furnished sitting room where a white haired woman sat in a deep cushioned chair.
 'Well, Emeline, here I be, faithful as ever" greeted Miss Mamie as she opened the door and walked in. Her sharp eyes darted to the kitchen be- yond, where Mittie Weed was clatter- ing around in a needless way, leaving untidiness behind her and creating agony in the soul of Emeline Taylor, the neatest housekeeper in the whole county.
 ''It's real good of you, Mamie," said the sick woman gratefully. Some day I'm going to make it all right with you for all your kindness"
 q don't want anything" assured Miss Mamie, turning very red. "Tm always glad to do something for a sick neighbor, and you know live next door. The Weekly Times,' a letter from Robin and postcard-there, that's nice bunch !"
 Mrs. Taylor smiled in a tight-lipped way as she took the letters in her swollen hands. Thank you, Mamie, " she said quietly
 Miss Mamie's face fell. "Ain't you going to read Robins letter? I'll be

 "He is so busy-traveling most of the time-he doesn't have time to write much," defended Robin Taylor's mother.
 T expect his wife travels with him." ventured Mamie.
 Possibly" said Mrs. Taylor crisp ly.
 Mamie rose to go. q thought may be they'd be coming down here.
 Some day." and Mrs. Taylor turned her head toward the kitch $. You can make me some toast, Mittie," she called.
 Well, good-by," said Mamie, as she went out through the glass door into the pleasant old garden, neglected now that Robin was away and his mother was tied to her chair. The whole vil- lage knew more about her affairs than Emeline Taylor suspected.
 They knew, somehow. that Robin had telephoned home from Chicago that he was going Co marry "Doreen," and they knew that Mrs. Taylor had telegraphed him not to do it-and Robin had married the city girl; and although three months had passed his mother refused to forgive him or to see the young couple. He didn't even know that his mother was crippled with rheumatism, for she wrote to him faithfully every week, acknowledging receipt of the check he regularly sent her. though she never cashed the checks and never mentioned the name of Robins unknown wife in her let ters.
 Lately she had formed the habit of putting his letters away unopened. The fact that he could write meant that he was well. Now she kissed his let ter passionately and put it away with the others, but the postcard she looked at with interest. It showed the New York Botanical Gardens, and off on the sky line was an arrow In ink.
 "We are keeping house here-you must come down and stay with us. Love to you, Doreen."

 A very common form of Rheu- matism is caused by millions of tiny disease germs which infest the blood. The one and only sensible treatment. therefore. is one which cleanses the blood of these germs, and routs them entirely out of the circulation.
