It only every woman and likewise every man could realize the wonders of drinking phosphated hot water each morning, what a grat ifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complex- tuns; Instead of the multitudes of “nerve wrecks,” "rundowns,” "brain fags” and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy- aheeked people everywhere.

"It must be done!” spoke Gregory Thearle. "I am sorry to be the medium of your message, ^^r. Thearle,” spoke William Ashe. "I am your attorney. You can command me, but speaking In a strictly professional sense you are taking the wrong course in this matter.” "1 differ with you and I have made an unalterable decision.” spoke Thearle stubbornly. “Very well, Mr. Thearle, I tvill do the best I can,” said the lawyer. The attorney went home thoughtful and a trifle disturbed. His old-time client had set him a hard task, for he was a sensitive and sympathetic man at heart. He unbosomed to his wife. "A disagreeable mission,” he told her. "It seems that Mr. Thearle has learned that his son Rodney is in love with a young lady at Dayton—a Miss Evelyn Boice. He knows noth ing about her, but assumes that she has in view the fact that young Rod ney is a rich man's son. Not only that, but Mr. Thearle Is In sore trou ble concerning Lis business.

Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has carried many women safely through this crisis. It would be a terrible thing for Rodney to marry and find himself penniless. “And what are you to do, dear?” submitted Mrs. Ashe. "Brutally speaking, I am to tell the young lady that tha Thearle family object to the match. If, as Mr. Thearle puts It, she la indeed a for tune hunter. I am to show her certain documents proving that Mr. Thearle may be a beggar in a month.” Mr. Ashe reached Dayton the next morning. He had the address of Miss Evelyn Boice. He found that she was a boarder In a very respectable fam ily, had come from another city some months previous and was taking course at an art school. Refinement, even luxury, were In evidence In the handsome drawing room where he sat awaiting the fiancee of bis client's son. Ashe de cided that she could not be very poor to afford so expensive a home, nor an adventuress it she was seeking edu cation in a line where the practical worker makes a good living. He had sent up his card by the serv ant. In a tew minutes Miss Boice came into the apartment. The lawyer directed one searching analytical look at that charming face and wished he was home, anywhere, but in the pres ence of such Ingenuousness, Innocence and beauty. "We are strangers,” he observed, arising with all the courtesy and re spectfulness he could command, “I wish we had remained so, Miss Boice," he added almost sorrowfully. Her face was a void of amazement. Surely, never had she known so strange a gathering! “That is a hard thing to say, la It not, Miss Boice?” he continued, try ing to force a whimsical smile, "and I must explain. I am a lawyer. I have been sent on a mission most dis tasteful to me. Be indulgent, dear lady. I came from Mr. Gregory Thearle.” "The father of Rodney!" mur mured the girl and a slight pallor came over her face. "He objects to the attention of his son to you, Miss Boice,” pursued Ashe steadily. "There are reasons, accord ing to his detached point of view— they are not mine, believe me. Mr. Thearle is in trouble. There may be occasion for Rodney to stand by his father and the family—I—I—" The lawyer felt wretched. The sweet girl before him had held him spellbound with the winsome inno cence of her lovely eyes. Now they filled with tears. "Mr. Ashe," she said brokenly. "Oh, indeed, no attitude of mine shall dis tress him. 1 would help the poor old .

"These evidence the fact that If Mr. Thearle does not raise nearly fifty thousand dollars by the fifteenth of the month his credi tors will take all he has.” 'Oh dear! how sorrowful,” fluttered Evelyn Boice. “No, no,” she de murred, touching the documents as the lawyer was about to replace them in pocket. "I am interested. Let me know all, please. I can—perhaps I m help.” The lawyer marveled at the sudden change in the girl, the expression of strength that came into her fair face, at her enigmatical manner as she handed back the papers with tha sim ple words. I thank you. Please tell Mr. Thearle that I sympathize with him and that I really will not be any added burden to his troubles.” William Ashe returned home to an nounce to his client that the young lady was reconciled to his stem flat. Then he partially forgot the lovely girl amid a hard, but a vain effort to secure an extension from his credi tors. They had tied up one hundred thousand dollars in collateral that, un der a forced sale, would ruin the old merchant. "No arrangement can be made,” re ported the lawyer one morning. "The collateral was closed out yesterday and purchased by some outsider.” "Then the creditors will be paid?” asked his client "Dollar for dollar, but the bolder of the collateral now holds you at his mercy.” Ashe left the broken merchant mak ing his arrangements to close up his business and begin life all over again. Two hours later Ashe came rushing into the office of gloom, madly ex cited. "Look!" he cried, flinging down a big envelope before his client. "The note canceled! the collateral released!” gasped Gregory Thearle. “What marvel la this?” Then his eye fell upon the name up on the note, that of the person to whom tha bank had transferred It. “Evelyn Boice!" he fairly shouted, and then before the lawyer could make an explanation the old man col lapsed under the shock completely. But the full explanation came later and a happy chain of circumstances it Involved, indeed. William Ashe sur mised what had transpired as soon as he saw that name.

Rabbits are particular as to what they eat, an®eed only on vege table matter. T,^» prefer the more succulent kluds.^^h as vegetables, clover, alfalfa and fallen fruit. When none of these foods are available, they often eat the bark of trees, especially when snow covers Mher food.

It Is not difficult to find or devise preparations which will keep rabbits away. Rabbits are very particular about their food, and any taint on the tree will keep them from injuring It. The following has been recommended by the Oklahoma sta tion and found very satisfactory: "Water, one gallon; one pound of soap; two to four ounces of carbolic acid.” Some prefer to add enough vermilion red to give the mixture a good pink color and the consistency of cream. This Is painted on the trunk of the trees with a brush or swab of rags tied to a stick. Another wash, which has given sat isfaction, is made by slacking one peck of fresh stone lime with soap suds. Thin to the consistency of whitewash, add one-half gallon of crude carbolic acid, four pounds sul phur and one gallon of soft soap. The United States department of ag riculture recommends the time-sluphur wash as giving satisfactory results. This wash consists of: Unslaked lime, 20 pounds; flowers of sulphur, 15 pounds; water, 50 gallons. The lime, sulphur and one-third of the water are boiled together for one hour, and then the rest of the water Is added. By add ing salt the wash will stick better. The Arkansas experiment station has found that painting the trunks of the trees with white lead and linseed oil gave very satisfactory results. Mixed paints should not be substituted as they may contain oils which would injure the trees. One advantage of this mixture Is that one application is sufficient for the entire season. flOME Tow HELPS BOOST Boost your city, boost your friend.

COLOR SCHEMES IN GARDENS Matter in Which America Might Profit by the Example Set by English Landscape Artists. Little attention Is paid to garden color schemes, less in California than elsewhere, for the reason that every thing bloc>ms so riotously here that we deem attempts at control quite un necessary, says the Loa Angeles Times. The English are the great color artists of the garden and they have garden books upon this subject alone. Sometimes colors are used for effects not necessarily allied to har mony, as when yellow Is used on points thrust forward to shorten the apparent distance and blue is used to deepen the recesses and make them appear farther In the distance. Many of the good-sized local gardens have long borders where color schemes could be wrought with annuals or perennials, or with both. Remember two points which may be called funda mentals: White is the one great neu tralizer or harmonizer in flowers and gray performs a similar office In foli age. Borders in which white flowers and gray foliage heavily predominate may have any and all colors In har mony so long as they do not mix, but have between them a mere touch of white. Such a peace-maker is often more necessary between shades closely allied than in marked contrasts. Thus with two shades of pink the lighter ap pears washed and faded in close com parison with a deeper and therefore stronger hue. Even great masses of white relieved by an occasional touch of any color never appear monotonous. beggary. “You never, told me that you were rich, that you were an heiress,” Rod ney said to her a day later.

Near the upper edge wirss or threads are At night the cave woman lay awake while her mate slept, watched the fire light playing on the walls, listened to the howling of the wolves. "When all the wolves are dead,” she used to think, "how good life will become! My man and I will walk where we will In the forest, and we will be great friends, and very tender and wise with each other. And what children we shall rear, when I know all the magic herbs that cure their sickness and they need never die of famine!” With such dreams she smiled and slept. Well, all the wolves are dead. But women do not yet walk freely with men in the forest- Most men bid them not gad about looking for wisdom and tenderness, but stay by the campfire twining scarlet berries In their hair; and most women obey. And children still die from famine and sickness, for the world seeks more busily for more scarlet berries than for food and heal ing herbs. But. bitterest of all to the dead cave woman, though the world has concen trated so extravagantly upon the adornments she invented, it has for gotten the meaning that set her whole body glowing as her fingers twined them In her hair.

Farm records show, and good farm ers agree in general, that diversified farming is mo'st profitable- Diversified farming means raising live stock and various kinds of crops. Diversified farming gives opportunity for crop' ro tation, lor distribution of man and horse labor, and for the maintenance of soli fertility. All of these aPe es sential to good farming. Crop rotation aids in maintaining crop yields and soil fertility: the distribution of labor reduces the cost of operation; the maintenance of soil fertility is tha ba sis of all successful agriculture.

A recent investigation of the rela tive merits of parallel and staggered arrangement of street lamps is most interesting, since it discloses that from an ornamental viewpoint the former is preferable, while, from a utilitarian viewpoint, the latter is preferable un der certain conditions. By parallel ar rangement is meant the placing of lamps so that they come opposite each other, while staggered arrangement means that the lamps on one side of a street are placed so as to come half way between those on the opposite side. In general, the staggered ar rangement furnishes more uniform il lumination. However, where the street width is not much greater than the distance between lamp standards, the parallel arrangement is preferable. In instances where the street width is considerably greater than the spacing of the lamps, the staggered arrange ment will give the best results.—Sci entific American. Just to Help Out. "Well!
