United States Stamps.
The government of the United
Btntes has decided to Rive up prlntliiR
Its postage stamps. The Bureau of
' Engraving and Printing In WoslUng
ton has done the work since 1S94 at
8-Jnss which has amounted to conslil-
' erably each year and has hoen made
up htr deficiency appropriations by
ConaTreBS. The American Bank Note
Co. Jias now secured the contract, and
. Its (work will be done in the same
maimer as that which this company
V turned out before. 1804. The main
feature of the new printing will be
' thej engraving upon the stamps them
selves of the names of 20 postofflces
- lnKthe United States which do the
largest business. There are 6,000
smaller offices, and the stamps of
thedb will have the names printed up.
i on tiem. This, is done in order to
' prevent postofllce robberies, as it
' will be Impossible to dispose of any
- large number of stamps with the
name of the office printed upon them
. after a robbery has been committed.
An interesting field for collection is
opened by this action on the part of
our government. The attempt to
gather a collection of stamps Issued
from every different postofhce in a
state or In the United States may be
made, and In many cases will un
doubtedly be successfully accomp
lished. This form of stamp collect
ing will naturally take the place of
. postmark collecting, and in many way
- is likely to be more interesting and
. Instructive, as it will be the stepping
, stone to the general collection of the
.stamps of the world. St. Nicholas.
WHITE BREAD
1 Hakes Trouble : For People With
Weak Intestinal Digestion,
. A lady In a Wis. town employed a
physician, who Instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
.tells the details of her sickness, and
he certainly was a sick woman.
i "In the year 1887 1 gave out from
over work, and until 1901 I remained
an invalid in bed a great part of the
time. Had different doctors, hut
nothing seemed- to help. I suffered
from cerebro-splnal congestion, fe
male trouble and serious stomach
and bowel trouble. My husband
called a new doctor, and after having
gone without any food for 10 days
the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for
me. I could eat the new food from
the very first mouthful. The doctor
kept me on Grape-Nuts, and the only
medicine was a little glycerine to heal
the alimentary canal.
"When I was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and
no white bread for two years. I got
' well in good time, and have gained
In strength so I can do my own work
again.
"My brain has been helped so
- much, and I know that the Grape
Nuts food did this, too. I found I
had been made ill because I was not
fed right, that is, I did not properly
digest white bread and some other
food I tried to live on.
"I have never been without Grape
'Nuts food since and eat It every day.
You may publish this letter If you
like, bo It will help some one else."

WATCH LATELY STORED ROOTS.
Look to the lately stored roots of
cannas, dahlias, caladlums and gla
dioli. It you And any that show de
cay remove them at one, as they
will communicate disease to the oth
ers if allowed to remain. It mold
has set in you may be sure of one of
two things: That the roots are not
properly "cured" before putting in
the cellar or the place is too damp
for thorn. It is a good plan to ex
pose them again to sunshine on
pleasant dnys, also to arrange shelves
for them at some distance from the
floor, on which they can be spread
In such a manner that they do not
touch one another.
HANDLING ROSES FOR WINTER.
tn handling roses in getting them
ready for winter provide yourself
with thick canvas gloves. In laying
the bushes down work slowly and
carefully. Never bend abruptly or
suddenly. If you do, broken or
cracked canes will result, and thnt
means a lost cane nine times out of
ten. Take the bush firmly in hand,
close at Its base, and bend it gradu
ally and in a curve. It may be well
to bank some soil about the base of
It over which to bend the bush, thus
avoiding sharp turns. In order to
minimize the amount of covering, lay
the bushes close together, all point
ing in the same direction.
HOUSE PLANTS AND INSECTS.
If house plants are started free
from Insects thoy are rnrely much
troubled with them in winter, but
vigilance must be exercised to keep
them clean, as tholr health Is greatly
dependent on this. Nearly all house
plants should, In enrly autumn, be
removed from their pots and set out
In rich soil in the open after being
pruned to half their original size.
Then, when the foliage begins to
grow vigorously, they should be re
potted and returned to the house.
In this way nearly, or quite all of
the Insects which flourish in the
house but perish in the open will be
gotten rid of and proper care will
prevent them from reappearing.
TO WINTER VERANDA PLANTS.
Certain potted plants add much to
the comfort and beauty of the sum
mer veranda. They are especially
useful where vines are lacking, since
the taller varieties make excellent
screons, while the bviRhy ones serve
admlrnbly for decorative purposes.
It proves an expensive matter, how
ever, to buy new specimens each year
Such hard-wooded plants as lemon
verbena, oleander, fuschla and hy
drangea may be carefully carried
over winter In the cellar; but the cel
lar must be exactly riht for them;
not all cellars are adapted to the
needs of slumbering shrubs. It should
be cool, moderately damp and at the
same time absolutely frostproof. Or
dinarily the cellars in furnace-heated
houses are much too dry and warm
for the safe storage of plants. Where
this is the case, however, it is often
possible to board off a portion of the
basement to be used for this purpose.
Geraniums, too, may be kept In
this way. .But in whatever way one
may preserve them It frequently hap
pens that these useful plants are de
void of blossoms at setting-out time.
In the spring. One may requlro Bcar
let geraniums for the window boxes,
salmon ones for the beds and white
ones for cemetery use, but without
blossoms the plants look so nearly
alike that the gardener is unable to
arrange them with any certainty of a
pleaBlng result later on. By labeling
them while still In blossom and be
fore putting them to bed for the win
ter, the planting will prove much
more satisfactory. Indianapolis

HORSERADISH CULTURE.
The little German village of Balers
dorf is famous for the fine quality of
Its horseradish product. Over 1300
acres are devoted to the crop and the
average yield is over Blx million
pounds, selling at nearly $120,000,
at a price ranging from two and a
half to four cents per pound. The
land Is moist valley soil which is
well fertilized, divided into beds
thirty inches wide and set with roots
in March in rows sixteen to twenty
inches apart, with plants eight to
ten inches apart in the row. Of the
shoots which start, all but the strong
est are taken off. The soil is fre
quently cultivated and the weeds
kept out. From about the did of
June to the middle of July, on cloudy
days, the soil should be uncovered
from the stem and the side roots
rubbed off with soft rags. Great
care must bo taken that the lower
roots, which nourish the main root,
be not injured or broken off. In
heavy soil this uncovering is neces
sary but once; in lighter soil It
should be repeated about four weeks
later. After the little fibers have
been removed, the soil should be
again pressed on the roots, and the
beds should be watered well if pos
sible by rain water or light liquid
manure. Between the end of August
and the middle of September the
Btalks are cut oft by means of a r'ckle
like knife, and the end roots remain
In the ground until the following
March to Berve as plants for the next
crop. If a change of crop is contem- 1
plated for a horseradish field, good ,
care must be taken to remove all the
roots carefully, for every fiber re
maining will again sprout. Stable ,
manure Is used mostly for fertilizing, 1
tut some farmers have utilized arti
ficial manure with very good results.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered With Yellow Sores Grew
V orso Parents Discouraged
Cuticuro Drove Sores Away.
"Our Utile girl, one year nnd a half old,
was taken with eczema or that was what
the doctor said it was. We called in the
family doctor and he gave some tablets
and said she would lie all right in a few
days. The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. ITa said she was
teething; as noon as the teeth wera
through she would be all right. But she
still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was
eczema. By this time she wus nothing
but a yellow, gi eenish sore. Well, he said
he could help her, so wo let him try it
about a week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimplo on one of her eyes.
Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3.
He rams over and looked her over and
said that he could not do anything mora
for her, that 'we hod belter take her to
some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer.
So we went to Oswrgo to doctor No. 4,
and he said the eyesight was gone,
but that he could help it. We thought
we would try doctor No. 8. Well, that
proved the same, only he charged 910
more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly
discouraged. I saw one of tba Cuticura
advertisements in the paper and thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so
I went and purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three
day our daughter, who bnd been sick
about eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all wires had dis
appeared. Of rourse it could not restore
the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura
in time 1 am confident that it would have
saved the eye. We think there is no rem
edy so good for any skin trouble or im
purity of the blood as Cuticura. Mr. and
