(Use what Doctors do)
Why do the bowels usually move
regularly and thoroughly, long after
a physician has given you treatment
for constipation?
Because the doctor gives a liquid
laxative that can always be taken in
the right amount. You can gradually
reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is
the secret of real and safe relief from
constipation.
Ask your doctor about this. Ask
?'Our druggist how popular liquid
axatives have become. The right
liquid laxative gives the right kind
of help, and the right amount of help.
When the dose is repeated, instead of
more each time, you take less. Until
the bowels are moving regularly and
thoroughly without any help at all.
The liguid laxative generally used
is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It
contains senna and cascara, and
these are natural laxatives that form
no habit even in children. Your
druggist has it; ask for

London. Queen Mary, whose
"shopping spree" at the British In
dustries fair resulted in replenish
ment of King George's supply of un

Afterward the queen, with the

attracted her, and she immediately
noticed one of black cloth. She turn

Under-Water
Gardening is
a New Art
Arrangments of Plants in Glass Con
tainers, Large or Small, Are
Novel and Attractive.
A new development of the aquar
ium is becoming popular with many
indoor gardeners. This is the water
garden, and while it resembles an ac
quarium in that it is contained with
in walls of glass, it is primarly a
minature garden, with a carefully
planned design, rather than a home
for fish.
The water garden has one very
obvious advantage; it never requires
watering. The number of things
which may be grown, it is true, is
limited in comparison to the wide
array cf plants which may be grown
in pots. But the object is not to grow
a large collection of plants, rather
it is to select a few fine plants, and
with them create an attractive group
or scene, just as the Japanese do
in their flower arrangements.
Of course, if one has the "collec
tor's instinct" there are a great many
grown under and in water, with ord-
inray house conditions. But that re
quires more space, while a most at
tractive small "garden" may be grown
in a glass container of small propor
tions.
There are water plants which pro
duce a charming effect, either through
foliage or through blossom. Many
growers are specializing in water
plants these days and the few needed
for the average water garden can
be had at a reasonable cost.
Experienced water gardeners use
plants which produce a good effect
beneath the water as well as above,
hence they include submerged plants
in addition to ordinary "acquatics"
and floating ones; that is, plants
which have little or no "foothold"
in the soil. Care is taken not to fill
the water garden so full that the
result is only a tangled mass of
vegetation. The planter follows the
Japanese idea and selects growths
which really delight, arranging
them so as to make the most of their
individual beauty.
Plants for Under Water.
One of the best of the submerged
plants is the well-known Cambomba
with its thick, fuzzy foliage and its
stems of red or green. This does
best if planted in the sand, though
even without this it will, after a
while, anchor itself securely by its
little roots. Another desirable un-dor-water
growth is Ludwegia, a
form of Loose-strife, which bears
broad leaves, green on the upper side
and red beneath. The popular My
riophyllum ( Parrot's-f eather) , with
its thick green foliage, has no con
trasting hues to accentuate the bril
liant emerald of its leaves, but it has
great luxuriance. Another attractive
under-water plant is the Sortwort,
also known by the descriptive names
of Coontail and Mare's-tail (Cerat
ophyllum). It is of a feathery, grace
ful growth.
Of the floating plants, those with
fowers first arrouse interest. The
Water Snowflake (Nymphoidcs in
dicum), covered with tiny white
blossoms, is one of the loveliest. It
is shipped as a floating leaf and an
chors itself in shallow water. The
Water Fern (Ceratopeteria thalic
troides) though not among the
flowering plants gives a pretty, lettuce-like
growth when young, divid
ing into deeply lobed leaves when
mature. The Azolla, another floating
growth, has r.o blossom worthy of
attention, but it3elf turns red when
exposed to the sun. The Water Let
tuce, which, by the way, enjoy shade,
bears dainty rosettes of blue-green
leaves.
Among the water plants that grow
in a way shnular to other plants
with which we are familar that is
to say, plants which grow up from
the earth there are also flowering
varieties. The Waterpoppy (Hydro
cleis nymphoides), wih its golden

yellow blossoms, a profuse bloomer,
adds much to tne beauty of the pool.
Th e Floating Heart (Nymphpides
pel ta turn) is another very free-flowering
plant covered with yellow flowers.
Both do best in not over six inches
of water. The southern "spatter
dock" a name given to several plants)
is often applied to our wild yellow
pond or "cow" lily, which, in its
early stages, is often grown indoors.
Peltranda virginica, the Water-arum
sometimes sold under this name,
also does better in shallow water. It
has a calla-like blossom.
There are also various types of
Saggitaria, of which a small form is
excellent for the home flower garden.
This plant is interesting in that the
leaves below the surface of the water
differ entirely from those above it, the
former being strap and the latter
arrow shaped. The blossoms are
pink and yellow.
A "Bog-and-Pool" Garden.
An interesting variation of the in
door water garden, and one which is
quite possible in the case of a large
container such as is made to fit a
window sill is the march-and-water
garden. A container may be obtained
or made like the original one but it
does not have to be water tight. This
"second container may be inverted over
the other, thu3 forming a land-and-water
terrarium, if we may confuse
our terms. A minature tank may be
built up in a corner of the lower case,
supported with stones like the bank
of a creek; and on this tiny shore
may be set out the fragrant pinky
white blossoms of the Bogbean, deli
cate sprays of Forget-me-not, and
other plants that love moist soil.
The papyrus-like minature growth
of the dwarf Umberella-palm may ac
cent this grouping, while the Japanese
Taro, with its blotched leaves, the
white spikes of Water-plantain, or the
yellow of the Limnocharis with its
soft velvety foliage, are other plants
which add interest to the marsh gard
en. Height will govern the selection
here; nothing can be used which will
project too high to be contained un
der the cover of the outer glass case.
With practically no trouble one may
have during the winter, if desired, a
tiny combination of Summer woods
and pool upon which to turn one's
eyes when the snow comes drifting
down from the gray sky and flakes
fall thick enough to obilterate the
life-size pool in the garden.
As to the machanics of the indoor
"pol," while any large aquarium
will do, one may easily be built at
small expense at home. Glass cases
made to stand upon the window sill,
filling the whole lower portion of
the sash, are high in favor from the
decorative point of view. They en
able the plants to obtain a maximum
pf light during dark days.
Glass used for such a water gar
den is one-eighth of an inch thick,
if the container is not to be over
fourteen inches in height; other
wise the increased weight of the wat
er will require glass five-six-teenths
of an inch in thickness. Five pieces,
of the proper dimensions, are requir
ed, two for ends, two for sides and
one for the bottom. Eight metal cork
lined clamps, made for the purpose,
hold the sheets of glass in position.
The following directions for making
such a case are given by a leading
authority in this field:
Cut one-quarter of an inch from
each corner of each pane of glass.
Lay the bottom piece on a box so
that all the corners will project free.
Unscrew the metal clamp so that
there is a quarter of an inch space
between it and the inner, cork-lined
piece, but leaving them still attached
to each other. Place one clamp with
the long side of its inner and outer
pieces fitting respectively above the
corner of the pane; leaving the other
side projecting upward.
Now take an end pane and fit it
into the lose clamp at either end of
the horizontal pane, holding it per
pendicularly. Keeping it in place
side piece vertically along the bot
tom pane, abutting ihe end pane,
which is placed flush with the end
of the bottom pane at the end. Fit
, this glass into the lower corner clamps
Midwest States
Active in Treat
ing Seed Grain
Campaign Is Bringing Excellent Ee
sults in All Sections of
the Midwest.
Seed treating campaigns in the
middle west are bringing results,
particularly in localities where
farmers already realize the value of
seed treatment, according to reports
to the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. The department, through the
Federal Seed Conservation committee,
and in co-operation with the state ex
tension services is using emergency
funds to assist in the work.
Extension specialists in seven
states Kansas, Nebraska, the Da
kotas, Minnesota, Montana and Iowa
are working with county agents,
county committees and elevator men.
Many elevators are treating seed at
cost. They find it insures a better
quality in the grain they buy from
the farmer. The farmer is happier
because he gets the full market
price for hi3 grain, with no discount
for smuts or other diseases. The
grain men in Minneapolis are among
those who are giving excellent co
operation. Extension men, state colleges of
agriculture and county agents have
information on the different types of
treatment and plans for building
both large and small scale treating
machines. Farmers have their choice
of three chemicals for treating seed
copper carbonate for wheat, for
maldehyde for spring wheat, oats and
barley or new improved Cersan for
both spring and winter wheat, oats
and barley. Improved Ceresan,
which Is a new dust disinfectant,
has several advantages over the oth
er treatments. These different seed
treatments are described in a new
leaflet, U. S. Department of Agri
culture Miscellaneous Publication
219 entitled, "Treat Seed Grain."
Dr. H. J. Haskell, extension plant
pathologist of the department, points
ou that the danger of spreading
smuts and other plant diseases which
travel on the grain has never been
greater. Whether the seed is from
federal or commercial supplies,
treatment is recommended either at
the point of delivery to the farmer
or on the farm. Seed treatment has
been a standard practice in many
communities for years, but is recom
mended this year for all oats, spring
wheat, barley and grain sorghum
seed. Supplies are short. If seed is
treated, the rate of seeding may be
somewhat lighter.
at the bottom. Then, holding: the
upright pieces in place by thier ab
utting upper corners, tighten the
clamps at thier base, which will then
hold in place the two uprights and
the horizontal pane.
Now fit the fifth clamp over the
top abutting corner of the upright
panes, with the short side pointing
downward, and tighten this, leaving
the horizontal face of the clamp free.
Fit in the other side in the same
way, and then fit in the opposite end
which is overlapped by the bottom
and upright side pieces and fitted
into loose clamps at both ends. Tight
en these clamps and fit others to the
remaining top corners. The whole is
then complete. A coat of transpar
ent waterproof cement, applied care
fully to all the seams, is adviseable.
In filling the pool, the bottom is
first covered with rich loam, an inch
or two in depth, according to the
depth of the case. Such plants as
require their roots in soil are then
put in place, and the surface of the
loam is then covered with sand, to
keep the water clean. The case is
filled with water very carefully and
soil and sand.
1TAVY ASKS MORE AVIATORS
Washington. A Digger flying per
sonnel fo rthe navy and a more mo
bile, compact fighting air force for
the army was the objective of moves
by the two military units of govern
ment. A naval spokesman asked congress
for more navy aviators to keep apace
of the navy expansion program while
the war department posted formal or
ders for establishment of the general
headquarters air force.
Rear Admiral Earnest J. King,
chief of the bureau of aeronautics,
advised the house naval committee of
plans for nearly 500 more airplanes
by 1937, voiced concern over a "ser
ious shortage" of aviators and en
dorsed a bill, by Representative De
laney (d., N. Y.) that would provide
fcr aviation cadets in the naval re
serve. He said President Roosevelt
wanted the bill.
General Douglas MacArthur, chief
of staff, sent to all army unit com
manders orders putting into official
existence on March 1 the recently

The Car
There's never any doubt about value when
you buy a Ford car. You know it's all right
or Henry Ford wouldn't put it out. One thing
that never changes is his policy of dependable
transportation at low cost.
That's the biggest feature of the New Ford.
The reliability and economy of its V-8 engine
have been proved on the road by upwards of
1,400,000 motorists. Owner cost records show
definitely that the Ford V-8 is the most
economical Ford car ever built.

in history as Nebraska's worst storm.
The blfzzard took place during the af
ternoon and night of January 12th
of that year, with a raging wind
driving the rapidly falling snow into
huge drifts, causing great damage and
taking a heavy toll of human life as
well as countless stock over the state.
John wa3 13 years of age and lived
with his parents on the farm about
where Wabash now stands. In com
pany with other youths of the neigh
borhood he was at school, the school
which they attended being located a
mile east and three quarters of a mile
north of the present townsite. The
teacher was C. C. Hadsell, of Weep
ing Water, a former partner in the
printing business of Harry Race, also
of Weeping Water.
A3 the storm broke, the teacher
allowed some of the older and larger
students to go to their homes, most
of them residing in the direction the
wind was blowing. They all reached
home safely, telling that the teacher
and six of the pupils were to remain
at the school building until the storm
subsided.
They had plenty of fuel with which
to keep warm, but nothing to eat.
There was a pail of drinking water
in the building, however, with which
to appease their thirst.
During the night the students, who
were John Woods, Ed AVilson, Mae
and Emma Gordon, Albert Obernaulte
and Lance Van Every put in their
time drawing pictures. They would
get a good roaring lire, then open the
stove door and allow the light to
shine on the blackboard, while with
chalk they drew grotesque figures on
the blackboard, acoentuatlng .the
same by dipping the chalk into a bot
tle of red ink which they found.
About 11 o'clock the following day,
the parents of two of the children,
M. V. Woods and Charles Van Every,
arrived at the Bchoolhouse with a
team and sled, bringing a bucket of
sandwiches and a pot of coffee, and
John says if ever anyone enjoyed a
feast, those Eir children did, for they
were net only hungry, but sleepy as
well.
