Tip# About the Plot's Care Pi

to Day.

We aee fewer lawns cut up Into beds, fewer round spots of geraniums and colons, like eruption* U the meeeles. The planting la being kept about the boundaries of the property, making a frame or setting. The} rightly border paths and drives, bide the porch and house foundstloQF, fill In corners or are made Into a I.ttle garden. This little garden question! Just realise that If your border plantings do not sufflee for alj the flowers you want, then, by cutting op part of tte lawns into beds, connecting them with paths and surrounding the whole with a green hedge, you hare made a garden. P-eferabiy the extreme back of the 1 .wn la the beat place to use, but sometimes the aide la the logical spot. Add an arched entrance covered with Tinas or climbing roses and the effect of seclusion L“ yours. When there is a little garden for the annuals and most of the perennials, then the borders nay be devoted to shrubs, using some perennials and e^ieclally hardy bulbs In the fore-

ground.

A garden of hardy peremlals Is cheapest In the long run because perennials live from year to year. This dose not mean that you must plant no annuals. On the contrary, who could do without uasturtlui. -. Hhlrle- popples, sweet pen*, asters, c'- tarkgpor and marigolds? But have most of tbs plants sum hardy and delightful things aa dwarf sunflowers, tall hollyhocks, delphinium j (the hardy lark spurt, Uttaa, Irises, peonies, sweet williams, oriental popple*, phlox, rocket, pinks, feverfaw. false dragon bead, foxgloves, rosea and rhrynanthcmnina. Be sun- t" gruu tall things at the hack, mmll-iin one* In the middle and low growing plants In the foreground. Then edge with some very low plant like aedutu. alyasum. portulacca or musa pink. Keep things of one sort together, so us to get a mass of each color. All the noes must ><e In one place, for they need rich soil and do not like to share their bed with other flowers. However. yon may plant such small thing* aa iianslea or forgetmenots with them, and this takes away from the bare look

Sometimes It la nevouary to shake bee* from * brood comb, and tbe bees aa they fall are so deluged by the watery nectar that they look like the proverbial “drowned rata."

THE SINISTER DRUG MENACE How Society Is Facing an Exosedingly Dangerous Human Elamsnt. In rigorous effort to suppress the Illegal aaie and use of habit forming drugs the New York police are now arresting annually about OCW persons and securing too convictions. Of these fully 75 per cant hare had previous police records, which Include every crime In the statutes. This la an official statement, one of sinister portent. It means that l*w abiding society Is facing a human dement new and exceedingly dangeron*—so grave, in fact, that one cf tbe most Important duties of the police Ilea In stamping out this traffic. The danger is by no means confined to large rides like New York; It la probably growing In town* and villages all over the country. Police Investigations have lerealed an appalling Increase of ib Jg addicts. More than ore-half of fbMc confined In the dty prison, the Ttr-ibs, were victims Men and women following vlrtui.Uy every business, tn de and profession were Included. Ev.-u school • hlldmi became addicted to the habit of using these drugs. It Is with full knowledge of such occurrences that tbe police are doing everything possible to stop Illegal traffic In drugs Criminals of tills class present a problem even more difficult than the old time hank .obber and gen eral crook. Tbe police may arrest l.QpO offenders annually, but tbe problem will not be solved until boys and girts are taught the terrible results which follow upon the uae of habit forming drugs. It la at thla i>olut that teachers of physiology and personal hygiene must lend powerful cooperation.—Century Magazine.
