A row of hollyhocks, for instance, Isn't half as attractive as irregularly placed groups that break , the outline. With pot plants in a general way too little water is better than too much. The dropping leaves indicating drought are more easily remedied than yellow 'caves, .tha result of being kept too wet. In preparing pots for plants the pieces of broken pots or crockery in the bottom should never be omitted, as without proper drainage the soil be.o;:.' s sour, the plants languish and the leaves become yellowish. i to t!u Sr.cO.

An eminent authority says the harm done thus exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all the good food you want but don't overload the stomach. A weak stomaeh may refuse to digest what you eat. Then you need a good digestant like Kodol, which digests your food without the stomach's aid. This rest and tho wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unnecessary. Kodol quickly relieves the feeling of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals. Absolutely cures indigestion. Kodol Nature's Tonlo. PropsrodonlybjrE. O. DrW itt & Oo. .ChlcngOw Tbotl. bottwcootftJoiSH times tho&Oc. alsa. Notice to Trespassers.
