K l fe-q r i \ * / Plain Talks on Fertilizers A Talk to Fruit-Growers r ’TT You use n fertilizer of course, but do you use enough? The yield per acre, and the profit therefrom increases in far greater proporl ion V han t he cost of additioi 1 fertilizer. What is an increase in cost of $2.00 to $10.00 per acre for fertilizer when the returns therefrom show an increase of $50.00 to $250.00 per acre? The big Magnolia Fruit Farms at Durant, Miss., tested the well-known Virginia-Car- olina Fertilizer in different quantities o n their straw berry crop. Result: when 1,000 lbs. per acre were used the profit was OO more per acre than when 500 lbs. per acre were used. This is modern intensive cul ture, the method that is doub ling and trebling the crops of all kinds of fruit in cither good or in poor and worn-out land all over the country—and in good soil, too. The yield c yi< i r fl i will be according to the amount of plant food | you give your trees or ' plants — you can de pend on it. The better they are fed the greater J and more valuable will be your crop. Fertil ize sparingly and you reap sparingly. The fact that over a million tons of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer were sold last year proves them to be witnout equal. Every fruit farmer, no matter what method he now uses, should get the Vir ginia - Carolina Company’s new Year Book or Almanac. It is free to all who are inter ested enough to write for it.

All the special linen stores and we have a number of such places here, are giving particular attention to fur nishing “Trousseau Sets’’ as the wed ding outfit of household linen has come to be designated. The foreign idea that a bride should have a well-filled linen chest as part of her outfit, has been adopted here by the set of people who control the styles, since what they do Is Invaria bly copied. Fashionable dinner cloths are of plain satin finished linen with wide borders, and two monograms are used worked at oppdiite diagonal comers, placed so that they are well up on the top of the table and not likely to be covered by the china or silver. Very large napkins, either twenty-seven inches square after the English fashion or twenty-six Inches by thirty-six the oblong French shape are used to go with these plain din ner cloths. The napkins are folded in three and the monogram comes in the centre and Is placed on the ser vice plate used at all ceremonious dinner. Lace and Fine Linen. Marvellous are some of the clotas made up of fine linen filet lace—a square meshed lace made somewhat after the style of Mexican drawn work- but differing from that in pat tern and general effect. Cloths and doilies of this most costly style are further ornamented with Insets of Venice Point lace and patterns done in fine hand embroidery. Such linens are suitable for use only in the most elegant and expensive establishments but every woman with an eye for artistic handwork is sure to admire these creations which represent months of skilled labor by many clever workers. All White Effects. These cloths are used over white or colored satin linings that throw out the design beautifully, but the preponderence of favor is for tables where the setting is all white, color being introduced only in the flowers and favors. In accord with this plain crystal with the monogram cut in is reckoned better style than any more fancy glass. Gold figured glass is more often used at luncheons than on dinner tables, and white and gold china holds first place for the same service, though none of these rules are obligatory among the fashionable set where each hostess is more or less a law unto herself. Lace Centres and Doilies. Lace edged centres and doilies are the proper caper as indicated by the make up of the afore mentioned trous seau sets, and this is a sensible as well as a pretty fashion, for colored embroideries are perishable under the best of conditions and white pieces do not grow tiresome as color ed things have a way of doing. Colors ed effects can always he obtained by placing mats under the doilies and centre pieces to correspond with any desired scheme of decoration. Novel and practical. A novel and very practical set of colored linings is easily ana mes»- pensively made by purchasing some of the new waterproofed wall cover ing known as Sanitas and cutting it into mats just a shade smaller than the linen or laces of the dollies or centres. This material can he had in plain huffs, blues, pinks or greens and its substantial texture is a great protection to a polished table, while such linings never wear out or fade and a damp cloth renews their color, for Sanitas is really a sort of glorified oil cloth made up for wall hangings, burlaps and leathers, as well as tiles, and Imitates perfectly wall papers, so that Its possibilities for household uses are endless outside of its legiti mate field as an artistic and sanitary wall covering that needs only to be washed with a damp sponge to re move all soil or grime. Shirt Waist Boxes. Shirt waist boxes covered with pretty chintz patterns of this ma terial are both newer and more prac tical than those upholstered In cre tonnes or matting, and the plain colors make the very prettiest and cleanest linings for closet shelves and bureau drawers. For linen chests or closets this is especially suitable, and can be matched in color with the elastic and ribbon hands that hold the sets‘of towels and nap kins In even packages of a dozen or more. A well kept linen closet Is a Joy to every home loving woman and should he considered in the plans of every house as it surely would be If there were more women architects. Glass Cover Over Linen. One of the most popular fads here is to have glass covers made that ex actly fit the tops of tea table, dress ing tables, bureaus, and the centre pieces used to adorn dinner tables. These perfectly protect the delicate coverings of embroidered and lace trimmed linens, and all the washing needed Is that given the glass to keep It clear and bright. This practice is certainly a gain for economy both in preserving the linen and a saving of the time and effort that must other wise be expended in cleansing such delicate handwork, but it Is seen more just now In the more pretentious homes of the Metropolis than in the plainer ones where its practical ad vantages should make most appeal to the housewife.

Rational Pneumonia Treatment. The most successful physicians are now treating pneumonia by the ap plication of counter-irritants. They are learning to resist the temptation to doctor the cough, which, after all, is only nature’s effort to relieve her self, and are endeavoring to reach the seat of the congestion without the use of internal remedies. Some are using preparath r >? about as pleasant to the patient as an ap plication of mud or putty, but nie wisest use a pleasant liquid counter- irritant. . The ideal remedy is Noah s Lini ment. Its carefully compounded in gredients possess wonderful powers of penetration and immediately re duce the inflammation and congestion. Noah’s Liniment is absolutely harmless, and can he used free y without consultation with a P^ysi clan. Apply the liniment freely ove. the point of pain or congestion. Satu rate a hot flannel and keep It aiv plied to that portion of the body, T&e effect will be almost immediate, and in many cases the threatened pneu monia will be dispelled before a phy sician can be secured. Best for rheumatism, solatia, lame back, stiff joints and muscles, sore throat, colds, strains, sprains^ cuts, bruises, colic, cramps, etc. For in ternal and external aches and pains Noah’s Liniment has no equal.

No old pi-re exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular spot; if tliis were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which tlie bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being banded down tci> posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. Every symptom suggests pollution and disease—the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and .dangeious forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the poison-producing germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue abd healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

S. to any who ar« in need of a blood purifier.'and especially as a remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. I n 18TT I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suSered with the place. I tried, if seemed to me, everything I hail ever heard of, but I got no relief and I thought I would have to go through life with an angry, discharging sore on my leg. At last I began the uce of S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw that the place was improving. I continued it until it removed all the poison from my blood and made a complete and permanent cure of the sore. JNO.
