Army physicians and men of
science are discussing, the effect on
future generations of the premature
aging of millions of men now at the
battle fronts. It is said that soldiers
ten months in the trenches, exposed
to the nerve -shattering shock of shell
fire, often come out with the appear-
ance of ten years having been added
to their life. A shorter period ta,an
this often suffices to turn iron -gray
the hair of a boy of twenty-five, his
premature -aging is peculiar to no
nationality. It is noticeable alike
along the English and French lines
and among the prisoneys from Ger-
many, Austria, and Rassia. "We at-
tribute the gray hairs now so notice-
able everywhere at the front to a
`subconscious worry,'" said a Cana-
dian. army surgeon. He continued:
"I have never known actually of hair
turning gray over night, as the novel-
ists are so fondeof putting it but it
often happens within the space of a
week or ten days." The effect of the
spirit upon the body, of the agony of
the soul on thesphysical Itealth, is a
scientific dact. The effect of sorrow
for his afflicted nation upon his ap-
pearance is showit in the cup -bearer
who offered the wine to Artaxerxes
the king, who, noticing his changed
appearance, said: "Why is thy coun-
tenance sad, seeing thou art not sick?
This is nothing else but sorrow of
heart."

dition. It may be grown quite easily
In the backyard. Time bettor practice
tvith tomatoes is to purchase the
plants ready for transplantitig rather
than attempting to grow these plants
if one has not had experience In
handling a hot -bed. Plants having a
large root system are best, and the
stock In any case should at ler.st be
the size of a lead pencil. The soil
should be theroUghlY Prepared be-
fore planting time, possibly a crop of
lettuce or radish 11121Y be taken from
the same, but it is always advisable
to have plenty of manure incorpor-
ated in the soil. A shallow hole may
be made witb tbe coMmon hoe to In-
sert the roots of the tomato plant.
These roots aliould be tboroughly
watered so that the soil will cling
close to the roots when they are set
out in the garden: The plant should
be set fairly deep and the earth
should be finned around the roots
If the season is dry and hot, water
may be poured around the plant in
order to facilitate growth. These
plants may be set two feet apart if
they are to be trained on stakes and
kept from covering a large space in
the garden. These stakes should be
preferably six feet long, two inches
wide, and one inch thick. They may
he driven into the soil a few days
after the plant has been set out and
the plants tied up to the stick with
a piece of twine or cotton in such a
manner that the tie will be directly
under the leaf. As the plant de-
velopes in size in front of each leaf
a slender growth called a side shoot
will appear. These must be removed
by pressing them out with the thumb
when very small. Four or five ties
will be necessary to support the
plant. As a result- of the staking
fruits of a superior quality will ripen
earlier than those grown on the
esecurnIti.
s,Ry Celery may be grown in
many garden soils if they have been
heavily dressed with manure. For
the backyard gardener it will be
much better if the plants are se-
cured needy for setting out about
the 24th -of May. All the plants
should be set on the level from six
to eight incbes apart in the row and
from two feet to thirty inches be-
tween the rows. It will 'be found
necessary to water celery more than
any other crop,in the garden, and the
soil between the rows should be
stirred constantly, In the fall when
the celery' has reached sufficient
height it will be found necessary to
blanch it. Possibly the best me-
thod being to stand twelve 'inch
boards against the rows od plants,
noiding them in position with stakes
at each end. In from ten days to
two weeks the celery plants will have
growta considerably, and owing to
tile exclusion of the light will have
