Diet Influences
EoUer CoLors!

Dull, faded blossoms, say gardening
authorities, result from even the
best seeds-when vital food ele-
ments are missing from their diet.
Growing flowers need eIeven diff
ferent food elements from the soil.
Faded, scanty blossoms, weak stalks,
small faded leaves and other trou-
bles have all been traced to a lack
of one or more vital foods.
Ordinary fertilizers-bone meal,
manures, sewage products-supply
varying quantities of nitrogen, phoS-
phorus, sometimes calcium or pot
ash. But besides these four, your
flowers must have magnesium. iron,
manganese. and several others!
That's why home gardeners every
where use VIGORO. the complete
plant food. 1t supplies all eleven of
the needed food elements in balanced
proportions; eliminates all risk of
failure from starvation.
Vigoro is economical, easy to ap-
ply. Give your perennials this square
meal as soon as ground thaws; feed
other flowers when you plant them.

Bouquet talked to Regina in awkward

Regina told him what little she re-
membered. Could she not tell where
she came from? From mountains. Was
she certain that her father was dead?
Yes, her father and her older brother
were dead; her sister had been carried
away. Could she not remember her
mother? Not at all. Was her sister
among the captives? No.
In the morning strange sounds
reused even the youngest. Outside was
a murmur of many voices, then loud
crying. Colonel Bouquet shouted di-
rections. Go to the Square and we'll
bring them there"
What will we do?" whispered
Susan.

The captives were formed in line
and marched to the center of the town.

ton of that valuable property.
Realizing that he would never be-
come first rate in his chosen line,
Mr.. Allen decided to exploit his clum-
siness by having himself billed as The
Worlds Worst Juggler" and making
running comments on life as he mis-
handled various articles.
Many and musty were the hotels
and boarding houses where MIR. Allen
hung his hat during this period. Zone
of the worst was near Sydney, Aus
tralia," he said. THE actors staying
there had a habit of playing cards all
night. Every hour or so somebody
would come into my room to drop
three pence in the gas-meter, which
happened to be under my bed"
Slowly MIR. Allen climbed to place
on the better circuits. BY 1922 he was
good enough to win job in the cast of
"The Passing Show" From there he
went on to The Greenwich Village
Follies," "Vogues," THE First Little
Show" and "Three's A Crowd" 1t
was while playing in "Three's
Crowd" that he met and married
Portland Hoffa, then a chorus-girl in
the cast.

Flakes of snow began to drift down.
The unclaimed captives stood drearily
together. Regina heard the sound of
the wagons - faster, faster, fainter,
fainter. Then she saw the weeping
woman come forward, led by Colonel
Bouquet.

The woman laid her hands on her
breast as though to suppress her Sob

brokenly:

Then Regina's heart leaped. She
saw the house in the clearing and her
parents and brothers and sister. Hold

turned her head slowly. She looked
into Regina's eyes and laid her hands

New York Stock Exchange
Traced to Year of 1889

Up to March 4, 1889, trading, to
Americans, meant hitching up the
bays, driving three or four miles to
town, and swapping seven dozen
eggs and a clot of butter for a bolt
of calico. What little cash circulat-
ed was kept in private banks, or I'M

such things as stocks and bonds,
says Literary Digest.
On that date the New world be-
came, overnight, nation of inves-
tors; for the hrst congress of the
United States, meeting in the Sub
Treasury building in New York city,
authorized the issuance of $S0,OOO,-
900 of government bonds, to consol-
idate and refund the cost of the
Revolutionary war.
