GENERAL BRAMWELL BOOTH SALVATION ARMY HEAD
 PASSES AWAY


 IR)-General Bramwell Booth, for mer head of the Salvation Army, died at his home here last night. The end came to the militant re- ligious leader, wlo celebrated his seventy-third birthday March s, shortly after nine o'clock in the evening. His wife and family, with the exception of his daught CT, Commissioner Mary who had shared largely in his work with the army, supported him when he fought to remain alive. Follow is short sketch of his life. fur nished the Nugget through the (P) Obituary Department:
 The nature and extent of his life's work were tersely described by characterizations of General William Bramwell Booth.
 He had been called Father of the Worlds Poor, Patriarch of the Sums, and Bishop of the Church of the Poor" As com mander-in-chief of the Salvation Army he was all of these.
 General Booth devoted his life to strengthening and extending the organization founded to pro mulgate the teaching of religion among persons not reached by the churches and to give to men and women who had failed a new start in life.
 He inherited command of the Salvation Army from his father, the late General William Booth, it's founder, whose chief lieuten ant he had been for many years. As commander-in-ch he became the guiding director and admin strator of an organization whose annual revenue has been estimat- ed at s40.OOO,O00.
 There came under his control the conduct of 1,5OO social insti-
 
 es, open-air farms for children. mems hotels, day schools and sol der's hotels. Additional activi- ties of the Salvation Army under his direction included the conducl of a bank, an insurance company and an immigration company. The World War offered oppor- tunity for new activities by the Salvation Army and its members did their work so well that in the end the army had been raised from poor mans charity to a power full international organization.
 General Booth was instrumental in sending the Salvation Army Y orkers into every camp and rest station behind the front and in the countries of the billigerent na- tions with doughnuts and cigar cites for the soldiers. Because of his organization heroic work | it said that few persons have been the recipients of as much gratitude as was bestowed on Gen. l cral Booth during and after the | war.
 Born in Halifax. England, Mar oh 8, 1856, he was known gener- | ally as Bramwell Booth to distin- gush him from his father during l the latter's lifetime. He receiv- ed 9 severe training from his par ents for his life work Appointed chief of staff in 1880, he served in that capacity under his fatlter | until the latter's death in 1912, By his fathers will he was ap- pointed commando er-in-ehief of the Salvation Army.
 In 1880 General Booth married Miss Eleanor Soper. They had two sons and five daughters. Mrs | Booth became leader of Women's Social Work of the Salvation Army and in 1920 was raised to a mag istracy by the British government.

SAME PRESCRIPTION
HE WROTE IN 1892

When DIR. Caldwell started to practice.
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for q
laxative were not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
The prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
is liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild. safe
bowel stimulant
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. 1t has won the confidence of
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, biliousness, fatulence, indi-
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your

Concrete Floor for Hog
House ThWarts Moisture

There are two ways to keep the
moisture from interfering with con-
crete floors of hog house. One is
TO lay floor tile of clay under the floor
on a good foundation and then place
an inch of mortar over the top of
this tile and between the joints. The
other way is to use coarse gravel and
small rock under the floor. If the To-
cation is a low one the tile will be
considerably more valuable for this
purpose. When good mixture of con.
crete is used there is little trouble
with moisture. The proportion Of
sand and cement in the cement mortar
on top of the tile should be one part
cement to two and one-half parts Of
sand.

Perennial Crops
in Every Garden
Common Vegetables Once
Established Need Little
Added Care.

Every garden should have por-
ton of il devoted to perennial crops,
such as asparagus, horseradish, rhu-
barb, strawberries, raspberries, etc.
These crops should be placed on one
side of the garden where they wilt
not interfere with the culture of the
annual vegetables. After such crops
are properly established little labor
is required to keep the plantation GO
ing. Yet by far the larger share OF
our gardens lack perennial crops. In
crease the delicacies on your table by
planting these crops.
Asparagus.
This vegetable deserves place In
your garden. A row IS to 100 feet
long will supply your table with all
the asparagus you want. 1t is not
hard to grow if properly started. AS
paragus requires deep, rich, moist
SOIL Dig a trench s to 10 inches deep
and about ! foot wide at one side of
the garden. For each foot of trench
mix a shovelful of well-rotted manure
with the loose dirt in the bottom of
the trench. Spread the asparagus
roots out on this mixture, spacing
them 10 to 1S inches apart in the row.
The small fibrous roots should be
spread out horizontally and when
properly planted resemble the spokes
of wheel laying flat on the ground.
The crown of the plant would be COM
parable to the hub of the wheel.
Cover the crowns with 2 or inches
of dirt. AS growth proceeds during
the summer the trench should gradu-
ally be filed until level with the sur
face of the ground. bed properly
established should last 10 to 20 years.
Cutting should not be practiced the
first year. One-year-oId roots are best
for planting.
Rhubarb.
The soil requirements for rhubarb
are practically the same as those
listed for asparagus. No trenching is
required. Well-rotted manure should
be mixed with the soil and the crowns
should be set level with the surface
of the ground. Set the roots 3 feet
apart in the row. Fifteen to twenty
hills will be sufficient for the aver
age family.
Horseradish.
The plant is worthy of wider Gull
tivation. 1t is not found in one gar
den out of hundred, yet it is very
easily grown. 1t requires a deep,
rich soil and given this, little care
is required for it to flourish. Root
cuttings may be purchased from any
scotsman. Ordinarily, such cuttings
have the bottom end cut to an angle
and should be planted with the slant
ed end down. Otherwise the roots
will be poorly shaped. Rows should
be feet apart and the roots should
he planted Y inches apart in the row.
Ten to fifteen roots are sufficient for
the average family.
