Gladioli.

We owe the gladiolus to South
Africa, whence have come so many
garden treasures, and il has made it
self quite athom e in our varying range
OF climates and locations. The one
exception, perhaps, is the small early
towering varieties, rejoicing in the
names of Bride" and Peach Bios
som" which must be planted in the
autumn to bloom in April and May,
and thrive out of doors best on the
Pacific coast
In regard to the planting and cul-
ture of the gladiolus, Mr.. Burbank
said:
This South African plant likes the
sun and grows better when moved
every year or SO to fresh soil. 1t
has very much the same needs as
other bulbs and thrives best planted
In light sandy we'll drain~d soil, into
which old leaf mold and some good
chemical fertilizer has been worked
the previous season
The fertilizer must not come in
contact with the cormS or bulbs, but
when the leaves are we'll up the
ground may be mulched with old
fertilizer or enriched with some com
mercial product. They should be
planted from four to six inches deep,
according to the soil: if not planted
y
varieties are apt to topple over when
in bloom.
After the plants begin to grow they
should be both irrigated and culti-
waited, and even after blooming oc-
casional watering helps the bulb in
developing bulbets."

FlabbinesS.

Patterson. a British child specialist.
writing on the 'IiypUtoniC Child. -
says that factors which tend to de-
press metabolism produce fiabbiness
and factors which tend to stimulate
metabolism cure fiabbinesS.
This unquestionably applies TO
youths and young adults as it does to
children But after all it is Just talk
ing words of many syllables without
saying anything. 1t conveys perhaps
an indirect idea of what metabolism
is MetaholiSm is at present widely
prevalent; nearly everybody has a
touch of it. and some folks have it
badly. Charley the iceman was telling
Vic the movie manager how low he
had been. and he explained that his
latest specialist had discovered what
was really the matter with him-he
had basal metabolism. Vic responded
with a picturesque description of his
own siege of articular arthritis, and l
hated to leave but felt it was time to
revert back again already yet to my
essential calling.
Now another little bite of the
British pediatrist'S essay on flabbiness
and then we can clear up the metab-
olism question.
Paterson enumerates the following
factors which tend TO depress metab-
olism and produce fiabbineSs in chill

exercise, fresh air and sunshine-we
have a mean word or two to say about
this factor later (2) Overlooking.

fault in the feeding. Paterson says. is
TOO much cereal. When the cereal
preparations are too literally used in
the Child's diet. as often happens in
America. the child usually receives in
sufficient protein and insufficient
animal fat, and all of the prepared
cereal foods are too poor in vitamins.

In THE GARDEN WITH BURBANk


Mr.. Burbank very patiently ex-
| planned:
You will find no difficulty in grasp
ing the process of developing new
types of flowers and plants If you bear
in mind the two underlying principles
OF cross-fertilization and selection.
Two plants of the same family, but
OF different species, may be crossed
| by transferring the pollen from the
stamens of one of the parents to the
mature pistil of the other The seeds
then produced have within them the
traits of both parents and the seed.
| ling plants will vary more or less.
From these hybrid plants certain
ones coming nearest to the desired
| type are selected, and are either
| planted and selected for several gen
erations, or are crossed again with
each other or with some other
! Species.
| Now / was beginning to grasp
enough of the principles of hybridiZ-
ing to ask one or two intelligent
questions, and no one could have
been as patient over ignorance or so
willing to teach as this great scientist,
to whom all this technical language
was as familiar as a reading lesson
| TO a child.

Lost.

Early the next morning the step
mother called the children to get
ready. She gave them each a tiny
piece Of bread, which was all that they
could have all day. Hansel did not
eat his. but crumbed 1t in his pocket.
AS they went through the woods he
walked behind and strewed bread
crumbs along the way. This time they
went farther into the woods and left
the children alone in the heart of
the forest.
The children waited for the moon
to rise, but when HanseI tried to
follow the bread crumbs he could not
find his way, for the birds and the
animals had eaten them all up. The
harder they worked to find their way
out Of the forest the deeper into the
woods they went.

My Neighbor Says:

To wash colored ribbons make
a lather of cold or lukewar1n
water and fine soap. Wash the
ribbons by "sousing" them up
and down and squeezing. Do
not rub, pull or twist them. Very
soiled pieces may be cleansed by
rubbing in a good suds with the
palm Of the hand. Rinse them
several times; always in soapy
water of the same temperature
as the wash water.
II there are moths in a carpet
turn 1t over and iron on the
wrong side with good hot fiat
iron. Then sprinkle the floor
with turpentine. rub well In and
put the carpet back. Repeat
this treatment two or three
times.
When blankets are to be
washed for the first time they
should be soaked overnight in
cold water and then rinsed.
This Is to remove the sulphur
used in bleaching. After this
they should be soused until clear
in a lukewarm lather made with
boiled soap and water, and then
rinsed we'll in clear water.
Table linen Is best mended
with embroidery cotton of a
number to correspond with the
quality of the cloth. Under the
ragged edges Of the tear tack a
piece Of stiff paper. and make a
network Of fine stitches back
and forth over its edges. carry
ing the stitches about an inch
beyond the tear. Thin places
and breaks in linen may be run
with embroidery floss. Towels
should be mended in the same
way.
If clothes are hung on the
line neatly and smoothly much
labor will be saved when the
time for ironing comes.

Hunt And Work Disagree
Upon The Indians Future

Governor Hunt is not in smypa-
thy with the opinion voiced in the
annual report of the secretary OF
the interior made public last week
which asserts that the different
states must come to realize that
the Indian problem will be theirs
to assume.
"It would be disaster to the
Indians for the government to turn
them over to the states because
they would be exploited for their
lands" Governor Hunt declared af-
ter seeing the report.
Governor Hunt does not believe
the Indians are ready yet. IF they
are turned over to the states they
must pay taxes" he said. 'The
government has granted them the
privilege of voting although our
state law governing elections does
not extend to Indian reservations.
Il have visited the reservations
in Arizona at various times and
held conferences with the chiefs
and others, and we have talked
over matters of a similar nature.

Many Words That Add
to Christmas Season
NIoRDs come to our lips so

MIORDs come to our lips so
w easily that we do not always
appreciate how glorious some OF
them are, and how much they fnean
to us.
Think of the words that add to
the Christmas season! Every one
Of them has a significance and 8
Christmas meaning of its own.
There are green's and there are
ribbons. There are gifts and there
is Yuletide. There is sleigh and
there is snow.
There are bells and there is
cheer.
There is the bright fire, and the
frosty air. There are sleds and
sunshine on the snow and the glow
Of a Christmas afternoon.
Their, is happiness and there are
candles. There are wreaths and
holly and mistletoe.
There is Santa Claus for the
children and friendly voices wish
ing one and all a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
There is the postman and there
is small child by the old chin
ney.
There is plum pudding and
mince pie and turkey and cram
berry. There is the Christmas tree
and children talking Of reindeer.
There Is tinsel and there is holi-
day candy. There are stockings
and there are Christmas decora
tions.
There are surprises and there
are excitements.
And all of these things have such
beautiful sounds. The words them
selves are so wonderful. They
mean so much. No other words
would bt the same.
And best of all is the word
Christmas.
1t is the years most glorious

Six Puppies, Nellie's
Present for Her Mistress


HERE was to be no Christmas
Il party for little Suzanne Han
sen. The family was in dire finan-
cial difficulties and it was mutu-
ally agreed among them all that
for this one Christmas there would
be no exchange of gifts. Suzanne
was disappointed that there would
be no surprises, but she comforted
herself with the thought that she
would at least have Nellie. her
faithful. dog, to play with Christ
mas Day. Nellie had been given
to her the Christmas before by her
uncle and she had been SLzanne's
constant companion up until about
a month ago when the dog was sent
away-"to the hospital" her moth
err had explained. Suzanne had
been most unspeakably lonely all
that month with no pal, and had
been counting the days till Christ
mas when she was promised the
dog would be hers again.
Christmas morning when the
doorbell rang, Suzanne flew down
the stairs to answer There was
an excitel cry of Joy. "Oh, mum
my, come down and see what's
here" There in a basket brought
by the boy from the dog hospita
was Nellie with six little puppies
just like her. Suzanne was IN love
with the pups.
They're just a Christmas gift
for you from Nellie" said the boy
and closed the door behind him.

business some few months before
and his father, and his two uncles,
p, J. J. and R. p, had endorsed his
