Persistent cold weather and late freezes and rains havo delayed many kinds of planting far beyond the usual time. This fact must he remembered In using the various gar dening tables nnd suggestions which In this department nnd In governmnt puhllcatloin Issued through , the press have sot times for planting. Such dates 11 r nhnyn ap proximate nnd for the majority of things It Is better to bo lato than prematuie It Is by r,o means too late to plant out a garden nnd aid In the army of food conscruitlon In the national crisis. The gardener who wishes to. raise vege tables for his own family will do well to. cnoose crops from those which preMously have done well In his special locality. Kort kahlv cnops Those who desire to produce early crops should hear In mind that n warm, sandy loam will produce an earlier crop than a heavier soil that retains more water and less heat. Frost is lens likely to Injure vegetables planted on high ground than those planted In low places or valleys Into which the heavier cold air commonly settles. Tho gar den should be fairly level, but well drained. Tho crop will mature more rapidly on land that has sunny, southern exposure. rcSSKNTIALS OF GARDK.N'IKG The essentials for successful gardening on a small or large scale are soil, water and cultivation, Much depends nlso on the grower, the season nnd the crops selected. The soil Is the storehouse ot plant food. The garden, therefore, should contain humus or rotted material In large quantities. Tho gnrdener should remember that about BO per cent .of ordinary earth Is not soil at all, but consists of air and water. Water makes plant food present In the Boll freely soluble, naln and snow water arc soft and contain ammonia. The effect of soft water on the plant world Is one ot tho miracles of good gardening, Plants nre succulent and contain large amouns of water which they have to draw from the soil. The average gatden, prepared nnd planted at random, proves a good Investment, but will Increase Its returns by fpllnwlng a def inite plan. The possibilities from letting crops follow one another or even overlap are legion. For the first consideration, take the variety oK vegetables. These will depend largely upV the personal tastes of the family andipacs available. The aVerago. sited gardon' should be devoted to green vegetables rather than to crops like pota toes, as there Is less risk In a diversified cropping. The garden plan should be drawn to show the, exact shape and size of the plot and points of the compass. To locate the crops to the best advantage, a knowledge of the habitually thin, dry or wet spots of the soil will no helpful. "Ueds" or "patches" aro wasteful of space and labor. Hows running north and south, the full length of tho plot, are economical and convenient. If a full row of one vegetable Is not possible or de sirable, several kinds of vegetables may be planted In the same row. However, they should be similar In cultural habits and length of growing season. By separating vegetables selected Into long and short season crons. 'comnanlon cropping" may be practiced. This Is simply, the planting In adjacent rows, or .In' ths mu Mv.Af ,Mf-1v'an.M la --'.-. 1 - - -. I rtVUI. 4K.U.' .... Iff-! llW'-.k.S U a year."

For example: Cabbage plants aro set In rws thirty six Inches apart and twenty-four Inches npatt In the row. Midway between the cabbage rows and also between the cabbage plants In the row lettuce Is planted. Karly radishes aro "drilled" In half-way between tho lettuce and cabbage rows. This combination Is harvested as fol lows; The radishes In a month nnd the lettuce In sevcit or eight weeks, and tho entlro space Is then lett to the cabbage. Just when It Is needed. SUCCUSSIONAL CROPPING Succession cropping is another space saving practice. This plan follows short season ciops by a second planting of the same vegetable or a different vegetable. For Instance, tomato-planting time comes shortly before the last pea's are picked, so that to matoes may be planted In thA space which tho peas occupied. In n similar way lato cabbage may follow spinach or late peas Planted earlier In the season. Turnips may be sown broadcast In the seed corn.' GARDEN QUERIES ANSWERED Concerning Sandy Soil Mrs. P.

YOUNG KNOX'S WIFE PLANS COUNTER.SUIT Orders Attorney to Bring Action for Divorce Against Sena tor's Son A counter-suit for divorce will be filed against Philander C Knox, Jr., son of tho former Secretary of Stato,by his wife, once n salesgirl and now an actress, whose romantic elopement with young Knox In 1910 furnished a surprlso for their Phila delphia friends. Tho action was nnnounced today by Mrs. Knox, who Is serving as an understudy In the "Oh Doy !" company at tho Princess Theatre. New York Suit for a divorce was filed last October by Senator Knox's son, desertion being the grounds for the nctlon.

Through her attorney Mrs Knox has entered a general denial of the charges In tho suit of her husband, which was filed at 'Reno, As Miss May G Holler, a satcsglrl and nctrcss. Mrs. Knox eloped with Knox In March, 1D10, from Providence. R. I. After some difficulty In obtaining a clergyman to ronrry them, they came to Philadelphia, where they lived at 1700 Pine street and later at Secretary Knox's home, at Valley Forge. , , Their married life was stormy.

Dreams WHEN one has a tendency to dream, the Indication Is that ho Is overworked, or worried nervously unbalanced In some way. A late supper, an evening of excite ment, Indigestion, constipation these cause dreams to occur as reflexes starting In the alimentary tract. Whenever there Is constipation, there are poisons In the blood strenm which Irritate the nerve cells and cnll out mental Im pressions which have been previously re ceived. The brain pictures are distorted, confused, nnd queerly combined In dreams. so that the result Is very different from the mental action of the waking state. By primitive people, dreams were re garded ns forerunners of coming events nnd were ncccpted as messages from the gods. Today even, there are many super stitious persons who believe In dream omens and mnke a practice of consulting "dream books." Many a woman passes through weeks of nnxlety and fear waltlnir for the something to happen In tho way of treach ery, uisease. nisaster and sudden death which the dream book prophesies. In a certain sense dreams may be re garded as warnings. A man who dreams of his business rhould be warned by this fact that he needs rest. He should take a vacation so that his tired and overworked nerve cells may have an opportunity for recuperation Frightful and distressing dreams are ex hausting and produce effects similar to those caused by actual experiences, although less Intense. A sleep to be In the highest de gree restful and recuperative should he dreamless. Dreamers often awake ex hausted and depressed. The tendency to dream may be In part temperamental, but Is In large degree due to wrong habits of eating. Late suppers, Indigestible food, bad men tal habits and excitement that overstlmu lates the emotions and feelings are common causes of dreams. Restful and dreamless sleep Is promoted by out-of-door exercise, fresh air sleeping, simple diet and avoidance of tea, coffee and condiments. Hearty meat eaters are gen erally poor sleepers. A warm or neutral bath (not a "hot bath) at bedtime Is an excellent means of pro moting sound nnd restful sleep.

The diet should be nnti-toxlc; that Is, meats of all sorts should be avoided. In some cases eggs should he avoided aIo, and sometimes It Is necessary to discard tho use of m'lk. In such cases all animal pro teins encourage putrefaction, which gives rise to poisons which are the cause ot neurasthenic symptoms in the rrcat ma. jorlty of cases. It Is equally Important that the bowels should be made to move three or four times a day by means of a laxative diet, which should Include an abundance of fruits and green vegetables, A tablespoon of bran at each meal will hi many rases secure free movements of the This-Beautiful Home Built by Walter Bassett Smith' For Sale on No. 39 Manor Road, slaasaHteaV'lrUJK T .23 I -fiLt JT Httiir7!loQftKrflS3& aaaaVn9HffaMat''"eaBJBaT JmWfW I jMHBMMfapBH HITIattsllHaalaaa&i'aaa HHBVhImx XiVV'"' aBlaaaaWa68HR5NiiaaaBaBinHM BBUBBsl-WT,, iisss-ssfrWiifTli jMVW rf-VTiy..
