Transplating.

This is transplanting time. Now,
II ever, Is the moment to move those
phloxes, that struck the wrong color
note in your garden, to more
suitable spot. Now. too, is the time
when the wild flower that you have
long coveted can best be brought in.
For in this stage of the plants year
ly life sap Is descending, leaves are
falling, roots and bulbs are passing
into a dormancy akin to the influence
Of anesthetics, when an accidental
cut inflicted by knife or trowel. or
the loss Of the fine root hair system,
is not necessarily fatal.
The only plants that should not
be transplanted now are evergreens;
they are best moved in late Winter,
Just before the sap rises.
Most people when they want to
adopt wild flower into their gardens
move them when in full flower. be-
cause they see them then, become
enthusiastic about their beauties. and
fear that they may not have the
chance to get that particular flower
again. Such bungling gardening
nearly always results in loss: the
mortality Of plants transplanted In
flower is about 95 per cent. as wilt
ing sets in, due to the unavoidable
breaking of the tiny root hair sys'
tenn by which moisture is supplied.
and whiting drains the last drop OF
life out Of the roots.
It is best to cut the. plant of to

There are many cautions to De
observed in the transplanting OF wild
flowers. Orchids and the various
members of the heath family. such
as arbutus or mayflower, azalea ana
rhododendron, have such a terribly
high mortality in transportation that
II is really criminal to go digging
them up, especially as they are rare'
anyway, and should be left for peo.
ple to enjoy. And one must respect
property rights, too. The owner OF
the woods may not be standing over
his wild flowers with a shotgun, but
you are stealing from him If you take
wild flowers without permission just
as much as If he caught you doing It.
may be criticized for recommend
ing wildflower transportation at all.
But 1 honestly believe 1t is better to
transplant a few wild flowers and
give them care than to go picking
and snatching at a thousand in the
course Of the Summer, only to let
them wilt on the back seat of the
automobile. Whoever has grown q
few wild flowers will learn to love
and respect the whole tribe Of them.

Have You Mapped Your Wall.

Colorful maps are adding their
Of many homes. These maps are not
like those that you buy in aliases or
schoolbook Biographies. They are
really pictures, and are often framed.
On these maps villages are indicated
by red-roofed houses; backgrounds,
by scenes from famous encounters;
galleons sail the seas: horsemen race
the roads, and Off from shore you
may find a sportive whale at play.
Legends tell of facts unfamiliar to
common maps, and the title pieces
are always attractively striking.
When buying these maps choose a
color to harmonic with your furnish
ings. Some are brilliantly colored.
some are in harmonious pastel shades
and others have a brownish hue sug-

Blackheads and Oily Hair.

Dear Lois Leeds: My face. especially
around the mouth and chin, is full
of very small blackheads. Every
night I apply cold cream and use
witch hazel and an acne cream. Once
a week steam my face and massage
it with pure CASTLE soap lather, rinse
and apply witch hazel. I eat cake
of yeast every day. Don't you think
l should have a clear complexion? l
have medium brown hair and would
like to tighten 1t. I am using a lemon
rinse for this purpose after my sham
poo. My hair becomes very oily about
two days after washing. JEAN.
Answer-After creaming your face
at bedtime, wipe off the cream and
then lather your face we'll with the
CASTLE soap. Leave the lather on
for few minutes and then rinse it
all off thoroughly with warm water.
Rinse your face again in cold water.
Dry and pat on the witch hazel. Next
wash your face in warm
water, then in cold. Dry and pat on
the witch hazel. Apply powder base

times a week. Battle your skin in hot
boric acid solution for several minutes.
Gently press out the larger blackheads

take has been in not washing your
face enough. The yeast cannot affect
the CRIME on your skin. The excessive
oiliness Of your hair is responsible for
the darkening. Use the following hair
tonic to counteract the oiliness three
times a week: Four ounces bay rum,
two drams tincture Of cantharides.
one dram tincture Of cinchona, 10
drops tincture OF capsicum and two
ounces cologne water. If you wish
to tighten your hair more you might
use the camomile tea rinse after you

One Mother Says:
My sister laughed when I cautioned
my youngster, descending the stairs,
not to run her hand along the wall:
We were temporarily in a rented
house where the paper was far from
fresh, and my sister took the stand
that the child could not make that
wall any worse. My answer was that
we hoped some day to live in house
where the paper was spotless and
by that time she would have acquired
the habit Of not paving" So with

Preventive Measures for Children
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

When children are little tots 1t is
certainly true that an ounce Of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure. By
using precautions in the things that
they handle and play with many ac-
cidents can be averted. For instance,
since toys go into their mouths when
the children are little tots, their play
things should be picked out with this
Idea in mind. There are smooth balls
and rings of celluloid, bone. mother
of-pearl and rubber toys for tiny ba-
pies. AS they grow older the assort-
ment grows l@~~~r though the view

It's fact that Reddy Fox knows

that he knows what is going on is
because he has a wonderful nose.
That sharp little nose of Reddy's is

Augusta picture enthusiasts will

leading lady in pictures made here
by the Holman Day Company.
Hobart Henley believes that he
has another picture that is as hui
man and delightful as 1.-The Gay Old

been the favorite of all he has ever
directed. However, he has in His
Secretary" one of the most charm
ing stories ever written. 1t is that

beauty. Norma Shearer plays the
girl, and has given one of the most
interesting portrayals Of her career.

firm of Colman and Sloden. Other
members of the cast are Mabel Van
Buren,, Karl Dane. Gwen Lee, Es-
! telle Clark and Ernest Gillen.
"a Broadway Lady" Evelyn
Brent's most recent. and if the critics
are correct her most colorful star
ring vehicle, is the second feature
for today and Tuesday. Directed for
/ F. B. o. by Wesley Ruggles, and
splendidly enacted by Miss Brent and
a we'll balanced supporting cast, this
production deals with Broadway
theatrical life, and has for its CEN
trail character a very unusual little
chorus lady, who nightly flashes her
sparkling personality across the
footlights of the Big Lanes most
popular musical comedy. The pic
turo takes Miss Brent out of the
familiar crook roles to which she
has so often and so successfully
been assigned. and yet keeps her in
a dramatic. dynamic part which she
plays with distinction. Theodore

Bob Westbrook. the young society

fine performance as Martyr Ed

title of the latest production F. B. o.
Is releasing with the famous stunt
star as the attraction, and it will be
received with open arms by the Tai

make a new army of admirers for

farm before delivery care should be
taken that the cream is stored In
