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 vour figure is stout, or regardless
of your requirements, there is an Amer
jean Lady or Madam Lyra Corset
Model which will supply your individ.

Vacant Lot Gardens Give
Many Opportunities for
Increasing One’s Income
BY MABEL GENTRY PEPPER.
Interest in the vacant lots
cgntest is still runing high,
and there are still new applica
tions for entrance. After careful
ly going over the list the commit
tee has decided that it would not
be just 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 people and firms
have kindly donated prizes or
cash to buy them with. A list
of these contributors will soon be
complete and will hé 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 account 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
bundies of 12 for 10 cents, 25 for
20 cents, 50 for 35 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 flowers, such
a 8 fuchias, begonias and many
other flowers which require
stakes, Many men and boys who
otherwise would have nothing to
do might earn quite a little in
tnie 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 wood earth in
small bags to those wishing to
have a few pots or window bhoxes.
There are many people who would
be glad to pay a reasonable price
for this earth if brought to their
flat or apartment. Manv, many
pergone living in hotels, flats, and
crowded city blocks have no wayv
of securing a hit of soil to plant
even a small box.
A short talk a few dave ago
with a flower peddler brought this
fact to my notice. He gaid he
often sold $75 worth of plants in
one day, and on many davs 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 {ncoma gather this
moss from the woods?
Be sure and loosen it carefnlly
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 it to «the flower venders. [
mention these facts as they might
be of assistance to some one just
thrown out of work.
Soon will come Mother's Dav

A strawberry bed may be put in
this month, though, of course,
there will be no fruit until next
season, Just now the home
grown berries are not so large on
account of dry weather. [ think

up the berries, but with sugar as
high as it is, putting up any fruit
will be very expensive.
