! SOCIAL FAVORITE TO WED
One of the most interesting an¬
nouncements made in Washington so¬ -*■
ciety this season was that of the en¬
gagement of Margery Colton and
Randall Hagner. Both of them are
so thoroughly identified with Wash¬
ington and have such a wide circle ol
friends that congratulations were sim¬
ply showered on them. wt
Miss Colton is the daughter of the
lato Col. Francis Colton, and though llPljjpH
she has lived a good deal abroad and ; i
»>
in the Orient, it has been mostly be¬ t Hi* mM i
cause whichever her member father, or of her her brother, family she or ||
happened to be living with, was sta¬ » &
tioned In some far-away post. The
Coltons are all army people, and be¬
tween while Margery has always come
“home” to Washington.
Mostly she has made her home %■
with her brother, Col. George R. Col¬
ton, U. S. A., and as he was stationed HARRIS & EWING]
in Manila for several years, and was
governor of Porto Rico for a while,
Margery, who was chatelaine of his establishment at both these posts, lias
moved around considerably. Irately sue has been living with her brother-in-
law and sister, Commander and Mrs. Archibald Davis (the navy this time, in¬
stead of the nriny) and it is they who make the announcement of the engage¬
ment. Btit whoever she's living with, everyone in Washington knows Mar¬
gery Colton.
No date has been set for the wedding, but it is announced that ft will take
place during the winter, and it is bound to be a big affair.
JIMMY SLOAN PROMOTED
-j James Sloan, Jr., head of the
secret service force at the White
House, has been promoted to become
chief operator of the Detroit, headquar¬
ters, one of the most important fields
in the service. Mr. Sloan is famous
S& throughout the country for his per¬
sonal attendance upon Presidents
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson.
“Jimmy” Sloan, who has traveled

RUSSIA’S LEADING SOLDIER
Grand Duke Nicholas, who is giv¬
ing such a good account of himself as
commander in chief of the Russian
armies in the war with Germany and
Austria, is a second cousin of the em¬
peror of Russia. He was born in St. $ «S1
Petersburg fifty-eight years ago and ii
since his youth has been conspicuous MS
in the Russian army. He presents a
striking contrast in every respect to LA-
his father, who was a notorious profli¬
gate. The present grand duke is uni¬ L
versally respected. In 1907 he was
married to Princess Anastasia of Mon- <•
tenegro. . 3
The grand duke missions has often by been Em¬ , ^ (jr
employed^on special l
peror Nicholas, who has always re¬ •<S: ,
posed the utmost confidence In him. x
As in the case of nearly every J
prominent member of the Russian im¬
perial family, the grand duke has
been the victim of several attempts i
at assassination.
For a number of years Grand
Duke Nicholas has been recognized as the foremost cavalry leader of Russia
il not of Europe. He is very tall and a superb horseman. On several occa
sions during the war between Russia and Japan the emperor was urged tc
appoint him to the supreme command of the Russian troops in Manchuria, in
the place of General Kuropatkin, and the military authorities in Berlin, Lon¬
don and other European capitals have more than once expressed the opinion
that the Russian army would have made a far better showing if Hi* en.'iierQ’
had listened to this advice.
SUFFERED AWFULLY
NOW QUITE WELL
A Lady's Suffering Was So Intense,
That At Times, She Was Unable
To Straighten Her Body.
Walnut, N. C.—"About 12 years
ago,” nays Mrs. S. W. McClure, of
Walnut, "I began to fall in health, get¬
ting worse all the time. I wasn't able
to do my work, suffering awfully at
times with pains in sides, especially
the right side, and none of the time
was I well.
Sometimes I could not straighten
up my body for the Intense suffering.
1 suffered more or less all the time,
and was irregular.
As Cardui had helped others, I
started trying it. I bought six bot¬
tles, and after using two or three bot¬
tles, I commenced Improving, getting
better all the time, until I was entirely
well.
I became strong and healthy, gained
flesh, weighing 120, being just a
shadow when I commenced taking
Cardui. My work is a pleasure, and I
feel like doing my work since, for the
cure was permanent, and I have been
well and strong ever since.
Cardui is a fine medicine for suffer¬
ing women, and 1 recommend it to all
my friends who have womanly
trouble.”
Thousands of women have written
to tell of the help Cardui has been to
them. Cardui is a mild female tonic,
acting especially on the womanly or¬
gans. It has shown itself of great
value to sick, weak women. It is
surely worth a trial.

INDIAN HAD SENSE OF HUMOR
At Least Enough to Get Off Good
Joke on the Cross-Examin¬
ing Lawyer.
From Fenimore Cooper and other
authorities we have gained the im¬
pression that the Indian is a stolid,
severe individual, with no sense of
the white man’s humor, but one red
brother showed himself quite a civ-
lized joker tlie other day in the Unit¬
ed States court at St. Paul. He was
a witness in a hotly contested case,
and a lawyer was after him in the
most approved style to cast discredit
on his testimony. After apparently
frightening the Indian with the awful
consequences which would follow the
slightest deviation from the truth, the
lawyer solemnly said:
“Now’, sir, I want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shuffling or
evasion. I want you to look me square
in the eye and tell me how’ you get
your living?”
The Indian looked straight at the
lawyer and, with that grave air fa¬
miliar to all acquainted with the red
man, simply said: “Eat.”
The courtroom roared and the law¬
yer let the witness go.
When Greek Meets German.
A Companion subscriber, jealous of
the claims of the classic languages to
superiority even in the length of the
words the ancients could upon occa¬
sion invent, writes thus:
“I notice that the Companion says,
‘No one can compete with the Teuton
in word joinery.’ But w’hat do you
think of the following word that you
can find in Liddell & Scott’s Greek
lexicon ? ‘Leparotemachoselachogaleo-
k ranioleipsanodrimupotrimmatosilphi-
o paraomelitokatakeehumenokichlepik-
ossuphophattoperisteralektruonopte g-
kephalokigklopeleiolagoosiraiobaphe t-
raganopterugon.’ The meaning is ‘A
dish compounded of all kinds of dain¬
ties, fish, flesh and fowl.’ ” That is cer¬
tainly an elaborate way of saying
“hash.”—Youth's Companion.
OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.
Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink¬
ing It.
An Aikansas doctor says:
“I was a coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that I could
not do witffout it, but after years of
suffering with our national malady,
dyspepsia, I attributed it to the drink¬
ing of coffee, and after some thought,
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.
“I had the Postum made carefully
according to directions on the pkg. and
found it just suited my taste.
“At first I used it only for breakfast,
but I found myself getting so much
better, that I had it at all meals, and I
am pleased to say that 1 have been re
lieved of Indigestion. I gained 19
pounds in 4 months and my general
health is greatly improved.
“I must tell y6u of a young lady in
Illinois. She had been in ill health for
many years, the vital forces low, with
but little pain. I wrote her of the good
that Postum did me and advised her to
try It.
“At the end of the year, she wrote
me that she had gained 40 pounds In
weight and felt like herself again.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Well-
ville,” In pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum —must he well boiled.
15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum —is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage in¬
stantly. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is
about the same.

VALUE OF THE GARDEN
Usefulness Cannot Be Measured
in Money Alone.
Farmer Will Find It Profitable to De¬
vote Small Patch of Land to Vege¬
table*—Location Should Be
Near the Home.
(Prepared by the United States Depart¬
ment of Agriculture.)
If the value of the homo garden
were to be estimated in money alone
It is safe to say that the returns from
2 small plot of land devoted to this
purpose would be from eight to ten
times greater than the value of the
cotton which could be raised on the
same area, Many southern farmers
will refuse to believe this. It is, how¬
ever. a fact that experts in agriculture
have thoroughly demonstrated, For
several years past, canning-club girls
have made annual net profits of from
tw’enty to fifty dollars on gardens
only one-tenth of an acre in extent,
and in Alabama this year products
w orth $700 were raised on seven-tenths
of an acre. The usefulness of the gar¬
den, however, cannot be measured in
money alone, and no man can afford to
ignore the important part that an ade¬
quate supply of fresh vegetables plays
in preserving the health of his fam-
ily.
It is obvious that when a man buys
vegetables he not only pays for the
cost of production, but for the cost
of transportation and marketing. He
obtains, however, an inferior article.
Many vegetables lose their character¬
istic flavor within a few hours, and
none are so free from the danger of
infection or so palatable as those
which are grown at home. In practice,
however, if the farmer does not grow
his own vegetables it means that in a
great majority of cases his family gets
no vegetables at all. One result of
this is a demand for tonics and other
medicines in the spring, for it is a
well-known fact that vegetables and
fruits furnish many ingredients abso¬
lutely essential to human health.
Where a monotonous winter diet fails
to supply these ingredients, the hu¬
man system suffers and recourse is
had to medicine.
For reasons both of health
money, therefore, the farmer will find

it profitable to devote to his home
garden the small amount of land and
the small amount of labor that it re¬
quires. The amount of land depends,
of course, upon the size of the family.
In a majority of cases, however, from
one-fourth to one-half of an acre will
be found sufficient to produce an ade
quate supply of vegetables throughout
the entire year. Close attention must,
of course, be paid to the rotation and
succession of crops, the planting
planned with forethought, and the cul¬
tivation done as carefully as that of
any field crop. No specific arrange¬
ment can be laid down that would suit
all requirements, and each grower
must devise plans to meet his own
conditions. In this he is strongly
urged to seek the assistance which
county agents, state agricultural ex¬
periment stations, and the federal de¬
partment of agriculture can give him.
There are, however, certain funda¬
mental principles which apply equally
to all gardens. The garden should al-

ways be located as close to the house
as gocd ground can be secured. This
means that the garden can be cared
for at odd moments, when it would
be neglected if it were at an incon¬
venient distance. The vegetables
should be planted in long rows In or-
der to make cultivation with ordinary
horse implements possible. A slope
to the south or southeast is desirable,
because the ground warms easily in
the spring and early planting is thus
made possible. Good drainage Is,
however, a factor of greater import¬
ance. The land should have sufficient
fall to drain off surplus water, but not
sufficient to wash the soil. If all >.he
ground around the house is level and
artificial drainage by open ditches or
tile drains is not resorted to, planting
should be done on ridges or beds to
prevent the drowning of the crops dur¬
ing wet weather.
Thorough preparation of the soil by
plowing, harrowing, rolling or drag¬
ging will ultimately prove a saving
of labor by lessening the work of cul¬
tivation. A deep soil is desirable, but
the depth should be increased gradu¬
ally. Barnyard or stable manure is
the best fertilizer, because it furnishes
both plant food and humus. It should
be applied far enough in advance of
planting time to allow it to decay. If
it is available, twenty to thirty tons of
manure to an acre will prove very
satisfactory. If this cannot be se¬
cured, some leguminous crop such as
cowpeas, soy beans, or crimson clover
should be turned under to supply hu¬
mus and part of the necessary nitro-
gen.
Finally, additional fertilizing ele
ments can be applied in the form of
commercial fertilizers. These, how¬
ever, are expensive and it is one ob¬
ject of diversified fanning to enable
the farmer to economize in their use.
On farms which maintain an adequate
supply of live stock, and where atten¬
tion is paid to the enriching of the
soil by leguminous crops, this should
not be needed, at least in large quan¬
tities.
The vegetables that the farmer will
grow in his garden depend naturally
upon local conditions and the family’s
own preference. Asparagus, however,
should be included wherever it will
thrive. This is one of the earliest
vegetables and will prove a valuable
addition to the spring diet. The roots
may be planted in the fall or early
spring. . After the bed is w’ell estab¬
lished, it should last indefinitely, and
for this reason the location of the bed
should be very carefully considered
beforehand.
Beans are another vegetable which
should always be included. The first
planting should be made as soon as
the ground is reasonably warm, and
this should be followed by others at
intervals oil ien days or two weeks,
until the hot weather sets in. Cab¬
bage is also desirable, because it is
economical in the use of land and may
be sown through a large part of the
year. For spring and early summer,
good varieties are the Jersey Wake¬
field, Charleston Wakefield, All Head
Early and Succession. In most sec¬
tions ot the South it will hardly pay
to attempt to grow cabbage during
midsummer, but a fall crop as well as
a spring crop should be grown. Cauli¬
flower is generally regarded as a
greater delicacy, but it is not so hardy
as cabbage. For further information
on these and similar vegetables such
as celery, lettuce, cucumbers, egg¬
plant, etc., the prospective gardener
should apply to his state experiment
station or to the division of publica¬
tions of the U. S. department of agri¬
culture for the various farmers’ bul¬
letins on these subjects.
Although, as has already been said,
the choice of vegetables to be grown
in the garden must be determined by
individual tastes and circumstances,
spinach should not be omitted. This
can be grown in the open throughout
the fall and winter all along the coast
south from Norfolk, Va., and inland
through the lower tier of southern
states. In the colder regions, a Tittle
protection may be necessary during
the severest weather, but two or three
inches of hay, straw or leaves will usu¬
ally be found sufficient. Seed planted
in the autumn will furnish greens
throughout the winter and early
spring. Spinach should be sown in
drills twelve to fifteen inches apart,
at the rate of one ounce to 100 feet
of row-. For the average family, three
or four ounces of seed will be found
sufficient.
In an article of this kina, however,
it is obviously impossible even to
name all the products that a garden
may be made to yield. The farmer
who has hitherto neglected the possi¬
bilities of a half acre or so devoted
to the purpose should begin with the
simpler and most useful vegetables
and gradually increase the variety in
his garden as his experience and
knowledge of vegetable growing
grows.
No mention has been made in this
article of potatoes, for their impor¬
tance in the family diet entitles them
to an article to themselves, which will
follow shortly.

Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti¬
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear¬
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. TbiB
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan¬
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-know’n druggist says every¬
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied—it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw’ it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an¬
