Drastic Treatment

If frost seems 10 have really
killed a shrub or other woody
plant, and in a month from now
ii still shows no signs Of
sprouting, there is rather
drastic treatment that may be
used 10 push it into growth if
il is still alive.
Water il thoroughly. Then,
into a three-gallon pail Of
water put ! teacup full Of am
monium sulphate and stir until
dissolved.
Pour this around the plant,
taking care that il does not
touch the stems or any other
part. After one hour, again
water the plant thoroughly.
And then hope for the best.

MILITARY alliances are essential In the con-
4'l duct of war; IN peacetime they create the
next war. After the Napoeonic wars, the pow
ers met at Vienna TO reorganze Europe and TO
control the world.
Out of the Congress OF Vienna came the
military quadruple alliance, consisting of Russia.
Austria. Prussia and Great Britain for the pur-
pose of preserving the tranquility Of Europe.
The dominant personality Of this alliance
was Prince Metternch of Austria, who devoted
himself 10 maintaining the status quo as ar
ranged at Vienna ON Sept N, 1915, Russia.
Austria and Prussia formed the Holy Alliance,
the object Of which was mutual aid among des-
pots, eliminating in . series OF revolutions and
civil wars which preceded World War ].

This was achieved upder the leadership OF
Bismarck, the Prussian who headed the new
Germany. First in 1872, he organized the
Drekaiserbund (three emperors league) OF
Germany. Austria and Russia. These emperors
agreed to support each other in war and to
suppress democratic movements.

kidney TO the bladder will cause
acute pain. This condition IS
known as renal colo or ureterai
collie, The ureter is the tube
which leads from the kidney 10
the bladder. An attack of collie
of this type is most painful and
immediate relief is demanded
when such an attack occurs.
The most frequent cause OF
renal colic is sudden blocking at
the point where the ureter and
the pelvlS of the kidney JOIN.
This blocking may be due 10 a
kidney stone or a small stone
which is passed from the kidney

also occur when the ureter be-
comes sharply bent, due 10 the
fact that the kidney gets out OF

Renal colo can usually be dag
