LAWN MA-KING LAWS While there is still snow on the ground, it is a good time to sow grass sede and up to the first of May. Sowing on the snow is now regarded as an excellent method, the melting snow carrying the seed down to the earth swelled by the moisture and ready to germinate at the first warm spell. Seed any bare or thin spots on the lawn. If the whole lawn is none too thick and velvety, it will be a good idea to give the entire surface a reseeding and when the weather has settled a light sprinkling of nitrate of soda will do wonders towards starting a vigorous growth or the sprinkling of some of the balanced commercial fertilizer specially put up for the purpose of raking into the lawn. All are better than the usual custom of mulching with manure which invariably carries with it a fine crop of weed seeds which come up and mar the beauty of the lawn. An exception, however, is the pulverized sheep manure, carried by nearly all seed houses which may be sprinkled to good advantage and in its preparation the seeds of weeds have been thoroughly sterilized so that the trouble will be avoided. A mixture of seed should always be selected to fit the soil conditions. There are dry soil mixtures, heavy soil mixtures, shady soil mixtures, tough grasses for frequently used stretches and so on. It is merely a matter of studying a seed list and selecting a mixture to suit the situation,, It will be found much more satisfactory than applying a general lawn seed mixture regardless of conditions. A mixture prepared for a sunny open situation will not thrive in a shady location. Neither will a mixture intended for rich sunny soil thrive in a poor light dry soil. Too often people expect a fine lawn without any preparation of the soil. Grass needs fertility just as much a.s any other plant and will do just as little in tho way of flourishing without it. a . .... Mr. R C. King Tells a Wonderful Story About Rats.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age. sect, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of tho most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat less moat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure, and, above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric qcid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out In the urine ;the pores of the skin are. also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity, in damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through tho. system, eventually settling in tho joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four oitnces of .lad Salts; put a tablespoonfuj\ in a glass of water and dring before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to ■ normal action, thus ridding the blood ' of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the jacid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia I and Is used with excellent results bjt j thousands of folks who are subject to I rheumatism.
