To aid the people of Galveston and vicinity in the intelligent culti-
vation of their home vegetable gardens the Tribune has arranged with
Mr. E. W. Gruss, county farm demonstrator, for a series of articles cover-
ing just such matters .as the average backyard gardener of Galveston
should know to obtain the best results from the labor and money ex-
pended in cultivation.
The articles commenced with directions on how to prepare the soil
in a thorough manner, such as is necessary in order to be reasonably cer-
tain of good vegetables under almost all weather conditions. They will
continue along throughout the fall, winter and spring, covering the proper
preparation and care of the various vegetables grown here yearly.
The articles will appear weekly in the Friday issue, the fifteenth
appears below, ' Mr. Gruss, will answer, through the columns of the
Tribune, any inquiries that the home gardeners of Galveston may ask to
aid them in their garden cultivation.
If you have catarrh and are neglecting it—you are doing a
great wrong to yourself. In time it will undermine your
whole constitution. You cannot begin too soon the work of
shaking it off. Doesn’t require any great effort. Begin today.
Lame back may come from overwork,
cold settled in the muscles of the back,
or from disease. In the two former
cases the right remedy is BALLARD’S
SNOW LINIMENT. It should be rubbed
in thoroughly over the affected part;
the relief will be prompt and satisfac-
tory. Price 25c, 50c and $1.00 per bottle.

SNAKE OIL SHOW.
Right in line with these fakers is a
show that has had a long run on
Broadway at Twenty-ninth street. This
is Prof. Blank’s Snake Oil show. The
professor has a full company—includ-
ing the live rattlesnake, and Rattle-
snake Pete, the old Indian, who does
the capturing of the oil.
Kansas City used to consider itself
a town of jay walkers. That is an-
other Pne in which New York de-
serves the discredit of being at the
foot of the procession. A typical Man-
hattanite would be run over and tram-
pled on the sidewalk if he tried to walk
in State street in Chicago as he walks
in Broadway, New Yozk. He has never
heard of the prehistoric principle of
keeping to the right—he ambles all
over the sidewalk. A facsimile of his
trail would show that he pursued a
course as crooked as that of a serpent
with a bunion. There ought to be a
traffic policeman stationed on the side-
walk at every corner to keep the pe-
destrians straightened out.
One can draw a crowd in Gotham by
stopping and looking itno a show win-
dow. Men will desert a paying busi-
ness to run a mile and see why a po-
liceman is talking with a friend. A
laborer making a hole in the asphalt
is a subject of eternal wonder and an
incentive to 'much deep thought. As
for a dog fight—why, they would run
excursions from the Long Island and
Jersey City shores if they had previous
notice of when the battle was to come
off. There has been some complaint
made because the city hasn’t built
bleachers in front of the skyscraping
office building which it is erecting in.
Chambers street. It is going to take a
long time to finish, and the first
nighters who are sticking on the job
of yapping at it as though they were

fort. And why not?

GARLIC.
This is a compound bulb, composed
of a number “cloves” or bulbels. At
planting time, which is equal to that
of the onion or shallot, the bulb is
divided into its component bulbels and
these are planted like those of the
onion sets. The culture methods are
like those employed in the culture of
onions.
CHIVES.
This is a perennial forming dense
tufts or bunches of fine leaves, but no
bulbs worthy of mention. It is propa-
gated by dividing the bunches or tufts
and planting the resulting parts like
shallots. The leaves have a very deli-
cate flavor and are used in salads.
Chives may be grown as a border
plant on flower beds. They should be
reset every third year.
LEEK.
This vegetable grows like a shallot,
but produces numerous tiny bulbs
are used for transplanting. The leaves
of the leek are flat and grow from the
neck in two directions only. Leek
is used in flavoring soups principally.
Only the neck is used.
BULBS.
Every garden must contain herbs
and such plants as are used for the
seasoning of food, and it, is, therefore,
thewriter's intention to discuss a few
of the most importan of these coming
under the above heading. They include
the onion, the shallot, garlic, chives
and leek.
If the gardner has no other object
in view than to grow ■ some green
onions for his table during the winter
months, it will be cheapest for him
to purchase a quart or more of the
onion sets offered for sale in every
seed store i and many grocery stores
handling seed.
For onion growing the gardner
should spade up beds about 4 to 6 feet
wide. After smoothing down the bed
with a rake, mark off rows 12 inches
apart. A neat appearance will be given
the bed if a line is used in the plant-
ing of the sets. The sets may be
planted about 4 inches apart in the
row and should be forced into the soil
to a depth of about 1% to 2 inches.
Straight necks will be the result if
the root-end of the set is placed down-
ward. This work is in order any time
between the later part of August and
February.
Onions grown for this purpose do not
require any special care except that
they be kept free from weeds.
If, however, it is the wish of the
gardner to grow a few strings of dry
onions for home use, he will have to
follow a somewhat different course of
procedure, to wit:
About the middle of September he
must prepare a seed bed, allowing
about 36 square feet of ground to
every ounce of seed, the latter is then
sown broadcast, raked in, and firmed
with a shovel. The bed must then be
covered with hay, straw or other ma-
terial giving a dense shade. The bed
must be kept well watered until the
seed has all germinated, which fact
can be easily determined by inspecting
the bed several times daily. As soon
as it is evident that no more new
plants are appearing the covering
must be removed entirely. The water-
ing of the bed may then be gradually
lessened until about a week before
the seedlings are ready for trans-
planting, when watering should cease
entirely.
The seedlings are ready for their
permanent location when they have at-
tained the size of a quill of a wing
feather of a hen; The plants are then
taken up, the roots and the leaves
trimmed back and then set out in
rows 12 to 14 inches apart and 3 to 4
inches in the row. They should not be
set very deep as that will prevent their
making good bulbs; on the other hand,
they should not be set so shallow that
the entire bulb will be sitting on the
top of the ground. Bulbs thus ex-
posed to the hot sun will ■ be sun-
scalded and, in the ease of white on-
ions, be turned green. The seedlings
of the onion may be set to the depth
of the second joint of the forefinger.
Concerning cultivation, it must be
observed that it is absolutely neces-
sary to keep the. beds clean at all
times. A shallow cultivation should be
given at intervals of a week or ten
days, and surely after each rain.
The onions should be permitted to
ripen out fully, which stage they will

“Really does” put bad stomachs in
order—“really does” overcome indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and
sourness in five minutes—that'—just
that—makes Pape’s Dlapepsin the
largest selling stomach regulator in the
world. If what you eat ferments into
stubborn lumps, you belch gas and
eructate sour, undigested food and acid;
head is dizzy and aches; breath foul;
tongue coated; your insides filled with
bile and indigestible waste, remember
the moment Dlapepsin comes in contact
with the stomach all such distress
vanishes. It’s truly astonishing—al-
most marvelous, and the joy is its
harmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape’s Dla-
pepsin will give you a hundred dollars
worth of satisfaction or your druggist
hands you your money back.
It’s worth its weight in gold to men
and women who can’t get their stom-
achs regulated. It belongs in your
home—should always be kept handy in
case of a sick, sour, upset stomach dur-
ing the day or at night. It’s the
quickest, surest and most harmlesa
stomach doctor in the world.
“I Feel Like a New
Woman ”
Mbs. Benj. Blake, of Port
Dover, Ont., Box 36, writes:
I have been a great sufferer
for years from throat trouble,
catarrh, indigestion, female
troubles, bloating, constipation
and nervousness—at times I
would be in bed, then able to
be up again. Was under many
different doctors’ care, and
would get better for a little
while, then I would go down
with chronic inflammation all
through me. . For nineteen
years I had this poison in my
blood. After trying nearly
everything I got worse. I read
in The People’s Common Sense
Medical Adviser of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery and
Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy.
I have taken the ‘ Golden Medi-
cal Discovery’ and ‘Pleasant
Pellets,’ and have used five
bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. I am now able to do
my work and walk with pleas-
ure. I feel like a new woman.
I enjoy everything around me
and thank God for letting mo
live long enough to find some-
thing that made me well again. ”

have attained by the time the tops
are completely dry. The onions are
then pulled up- and thrown into row?,
where they should remain for several
days, providing the weather is clear.
When thoroughly dry, they are plaited
into strings and hung up in a dry
and cool place. White onions should
be protected against bright light to
prevent their turning green.
THE SHALLOT.
This is a mild onion, oblong in shape
and of the multiplier type. We dis-
tinguish the white and tne red. There
is no particular point of difference be-
tween them except that the red do not
look as well as the white when 'served
on the table in their raw state.
They are propagated by planting the
bulbels of which each bunch contains
a great many. Even the bulbs may
sometimes be separated where this can
be done without breaking out the root-
crown.
The ground should be prepared as
for onions and should be ready for
planting by the beginning of Septem-
ber and may continue during the entire
fall. For reasons which will appear
later, the shallot should be planted on
leveled ground. They should be set
about 8 inches apart in the row and
these about 30 inches.
In planting, the bulb should be
pressed into the soil about the finger’s
length, they should stand with stem
end up and no soil pressed into the
hole, otherwise the leaves will have to
work too hard to force their way out,
and they will be crooked and twisted.
There should be only enough loose soil
in the hole to cover the bulb.
, Cultivation should be clean and thor-
ough. When the plants have grown to
the thickness of a lead pencil, the
process of blanching should be begun.
This is done by gathering the leaves
with one hand and with a short-handled
hoe draw the soil against the plant to
the height of 3 or 4 inches above the
former top of the soil, this will give
the shallot a very long white neck and
thus double the eatable portion of the
plant.
The bunches may be pulled at any
time, but it is more economical to wait
until the necks have grown to the
thickness of a lady’s finger. There are
always a number of necks in each
bunch which are too small for use.
These should not be thrown away, but
planted again for the purpose of grow-
ing bulbs for planting the following
season. These seed bulbs remain in
the ground until the tops are dry; they
are then pulled up, left to dry a day
or two, after which the tops are re-
moved and the bulbs stored in a dry
and cool place.
Besides being used as seed,. dry shal-
lots may be used for culinary purposes
and will be found very desirable where
a delicate onion flavor is wanted in
a dish.

incloses a thousand laughs—and only
five cents. No home complete with-

Pasteboard .whirligigs. Yes, the Kind

you were a kid. However, the New
York ones are made from circles of
pasteboard paintedwith all the colors,
and when you work the strings there
is a very pretty combination of chang-

prize at a card party. If you have time
to jew the merchant down—and many
of the customers have—you can take
away a couple for the small sum of
one nickel.
The Niagara Falls. This is a prac-

moving the hands up and down one
can make it appear that the papers is
flowing from one hand to another. Of

Here’s something you won’t believe,
but I can prove it: During the last
snowstorm that visited the city a boy
of tender years stood on Park row and
did a heavy business selling fans.
Fact! These little paper fans strung
between two sticks that are round
when you open them out. His selling
argument was that summer was sure
to be here soon, and that we ought to
be ready for it. Another of those Nas-

he belongs in your neighborhod—he is
merely stopping over there on his way
to the only Broadway. New York can
also prove itself to be the whiskers
center of the United States.
There is a certain person with a
heavy jaw who does a regular and
flourishing business in razor oil at the
very foot of Wall street, within the
shadow of Trinity church. He is con-
stantly in need of a shave, though his
heavy mustache is always turned up
and waxed with scrupulous care—per-
haps the latter precaution is made to
be sure that his third eyebrow doesn’t
interfere with the. flow of language.
He talks from the right side of his
mouth, after the manner of his kind.
“Sharpens the . dullest razor in two
minutes, gents!” This is the burden of
the song that mixes with the roar of
foxy Wall street. “Watch closely while
I show you exactly what it will do!”
The surging crowd surges in more
closely. An old gentleman with a silk
hat and umbrella fights his. way to the
center of the throng. He* isn’t going to
miss anything,
RAZOR OIL.
The razor oil merchant takes this
demonstration cutter and hacks the
side of the stand with it.
“It’s a dull razor now,” announces
the demonstrator. “If you tried to
shave a man with that he’d shoot you.
In the present condition it is abso-
lutely guaranteed not to cut the hot-
test of butter. Now observe—I drop
three drops of the magic oil on this
old strop and give the razor a few
licks thus----” He suits the action to
) the words.
The crowd is holding its breath. Ev-
ery minute some busy person forsakes
his business to come and listen to the
male siren of the razor oil. The dem-
onstrator pulls a hair from his fore-
lock—it has become quite thin up
there—and snips it off with the keen
