SOME QUICK GROWING TREES
Poplar Family Used Quite Extensively
Along Streets or on Newly
Laid Out Land.
The poplar family is used very ex-
tensively to make a quick showing
along streets or newly laid-out land
near citlee. The Carolina is perhaps
the favored one, next to this the Lom-
bardy, and, of course, the maples are
frequently seen. The maple, says the
Agronomist, is beautiful and will al-
ways be used, in spite of the fact
that many varieties are afflicted with
blighgt and bugs, and it is a very diffi-
cult proposition to coax an individual,
much less a community, to properly
spray and care for its shade trees.
The Norway maple is undoubtedly
the best of the species for our condi-
tions. Of the poplars the Carolina is
certainly not worth while; it has too
many troubles. The Lombardy is
merely weird—as we see no beauty in
it. It is the spindling straight up and
down thing that is so often seen in
European landscapes, painted or
otherwise. All we have seen in this
country were filled with dead limbs,
were unsymmetrical and scrawny
looking generally.
The Japanese poplar has proved a
wonder of remarkable rapid growth,
has a beautiful clean bark, grows
very thick, has a beautiful foliage, is
not injured by anything, was In full
leaf this year over two weeks before
any other tree, and its leaves remain
after most other foliage trees are
stripped.
Therefore we most heartily recom-
mend the Japanese poplar as the best
of all quick-growing trees.
HANDY FRUIT PICKING SACK
Much Easier to Handle Than Basket
as Both Hands Are Left Free—
Best for Apples.
This fruit picking bag is much
handier than a basket and it leaves
both hands free. It also is easy on the
fruit, especially apples, as they are let
out easily and carefully from the bot-
tom. To make the bag use a grain
sack cut right length so as not to be
too long or too short. The front side
of the bag at the bottom is cut away

Dr. Lewis White Allen, the Denver
physiologist, was giving an informal
talk on physiology upon the windy,
sea-fronting porch of an Atlantic City
hotel.
"Also," he said, "it has lately been
found that the human body contains
Bulphur."
"Sulphur!" exclaimed a girl In a
blue and white blazer. "How much
sulphur Is there, then, In a girl's
body?"
"Oh," said Dr. Allen, smiling, "the
amount varies."
"And Is that," asked the girl, "why
some of us make so much better
matches than others?"—St Louis

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead Of
Drugs.
It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, Instead
of resorting to the usual list of medi-
cines. 9
There are some truly scientific phy-
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated, re-
gardless of the value to their pockets,
Here's an Instance:
"Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing -would
stay on my stomach, so that I was on
the verge of starvation.
"I heard of a doctor who had a sum-
mer cottage near me—a specialist
from N. Y.—and as a last hope, sent
for him.
"After he examined me carefully
he advised me to try a small quantity
of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my
stomach became stronger to est more.
"I kept at it and gradually got so I
could eat and digest three teaspoon-
fuls. Then I began to have color In
my face, memory became clear, where
before everything seemed a blank. My
limbs £bt stronger and I could walk.
So I steadily recovered.
"Now after a year on Grape-Nuts I
weigh 153 lbs. My people were sur-
prised at the way I grew fleshy and
strong on this food." Name given by
