Coast Doctor in Warning

“Complete rest in bed must always be considered as a highly hazardous form of therapy,” Dr. William Dock of Los Angeles warned thé assembled medical men. “Many disturbances of function, such as massive collapse of the lung, blamed on operation, illness, anesthesia, or medication, have become evident only after the patient was forced to spend hours or even| days lying on his back.” Complete bed rest, Dr. Dock said, | may lead to conditions ranging from bed sores and constipation to muscle, wasting and chronic disabilities that sometimes persist for years. | The greatest danger, he said, is| that bed rest causes stagnation of blood in the veins of the legs. This may lead to the formation of blood | clots which may do severe damage! or even prove fatal,

Hazard for the Elderly

Complete bed rest was particu-| larly dangerous for elderly patients, | he said. | His views were supported by Dr. Tinsley R. Harrison of Dallas, Tex. who said that the usual idea that proionged and strict bed rest is es-| sential to the proper treatment of! several common types of heart dis-| ease is unsound. “There is no proof” Dr. Harrison | said, “that rest in bed, carried on| for many weeks after symptoms! have disappeared, is of value in the! management of the patient.* |

Preparation and planting method for Bearded Iris rhizomes,

By HENRY L. PREE Scripps-Howard Staff Writer The Bearded Irises are the best known and most commonly grown of that important plant family, No garden or flower border is complete without one or more of its varieties. Bearded Irises provide the garden with a season of bloom extending from early April to mid-June. The dwarf varietiés, such as Cristata and .Pumia, are the first to

appear and lend themselves to the border. Then come the intermediates, a crossing of the early dwarfs and the tall bearded irises. They seldom grow more than two feet in : height and shpuld be planted toward the front of the bed. Helge, Golden West, § Alice Horsefall, § Gentius, Sussa a nd Eleanor Roosevelt make an excellent selection of varieties now offered by the growers.

Tall Group Exciting

However, it is the tall bearded group which excites the admiration of the gardener, It is from the American and French hybrid izers' hands that an amazing number of delightful Bearded Irises have come the past few years. Astonishing new colors and combinations of colors have been created until the gardener now has Irises that far exceed his fondest hopes. The reds are purer, the blues are richer, there are better pinks | and finer yellows, and many rival | the orchid in form and delicacy. A few are delightfully fragrant, | Bearded Irises move best shortly after they have finished bloom-

establish themselves in time to | produce the embryonic flowers for the next season before frost comes. }

tle lime with the soil at planting time. Do not use manure. Plant nine to 12 inches apart with the rhizome or thickest root just below the surface of the ground and press the soil firmly about the roots.

Water every 10 days until the plants are established and growing, but do not over-water. Bearded Irises are very drought resistant and need little summer watering. Irises are sun lovers and will produce no flowers in the shade. Keep them free from weeds and do not allow other plants to cover them, Irises develop rapidly and division and replanting becomes necessary every third year. Do not plant any diseased or borer infested rhizomes. Destroy them by burning. Send to the Iris specialists for the latest catalogs. ' June 20, 1944
