If a figure is stout, it,
above all others, needs
careful corseting.
A Corset, individual
ly right for the stout
figure, keeps the flesh
from sagging into ugly
forms,
Then, again, the
stout model, properly
selected, does not give
the wearer discomfort
by constantly slipping
up on the figure,
If your figure is stout, or regardless
of your requirements, thepe is an Amer

Model which will supply your individ
ual needs.

Vacant Lot Gardens Give
Many Opportunities for
Increasing One’s Income
BY MABEL GENTRY PEPPER.
Interest in the, vacant lots
contest is still runing high,
and there are still new applica
tions for entrance. After cargful-
Iy*going dver the list'the commit
tee has decided that it would not
be‘ fust to’ those ‘who have been
laboring so long to allow any
more to enter into the first list
of prizes.
There still is an unlimited sup
ply of seed that may be had by
asking, 'and many plants or cut
tings to be had on request.
‘A’ ‘number of pedple and firms
have kindly donated prizes or
cash to buy them with. A list
of these contributors will soon be
complete and will' be published:
Those already having plants
out, it is time already to prepare
stakes for the tomato plants and
pea vines. So many men are out
of work on acequnt of the clos-
Ing of saloons and breweries, It
might help some to gather com
mon stakes and sell them for
sticking peas, pole beans and to
matoes, also for raspberries and
anything requiring canes or
stakes. Be careful to cut them
good and long, then trim off the
very small end.
- How to Place Stakes.
The larger parts could be left
about three feet long, and tied in
bundles of 12 for 10 cents, 25 for
20 cents, 50 for 85 cents and about
100 for 40 cents would seem a
reasonable rate. The smaller ends
could be put into* bunches and
also sold for staking flowsers, siich
as. fuchias, begonias: and many
other flowers which require
stakes. ‘Many men and boys who
otherwise would have nothing to
do might earn:quite a littla in
this way. It would pay to place a
small ad in a paper telling where
these canes might be secured.
One chance for a profitable
business on a small scale might
be furnishing good wdoft earth In
small bags to those wishing to
have a few pots or window boxes.
There are many people who would
be glad to pay a reasonable ‘price
for this earth if brought to their
flat or apartment. Many, many
persons ltving {n hotels, flats, and
crowded city blocks have no way
of securing a bit of soil to plant
even a small box. ’
A short talk a few days ago
with a flower peddler brought this
faet to my notice. He sald he
often sold $75 worth of plants in
one day, and on many days more.
He had great trouble In securing
a sufficient supply, and alse he
could get no moss for filing
baskets. Why can't some boy
who wants an {ncome gather this
moss from the woods?
""Be sure and loosen it carefn!ly
and roll it up in sheets. Enough
to fill one medium sized basket
retalls for 20 cents. You can sell
it on any corner, or better still,
sell 1t to the flower venders. I
mention these facts as they might
be of assistance to some one just
thrown out of work.
Soon will come Mother's Day.
