 HEALTH 

 H E AT 



QNE of the Kelsey Health Heat 

 ^^ points that is a great conven- 

 ience, is this one. In the early Fall, 

 before you have regularly started 

 the heat; or in late Spring after you 

 have regularly let it go out; there 

 are nippy days when just a little 

 heat is a great comfort giver, and 

 health helper. 



With a Kelsey you can, with a 

 newspaper and a few sticks of wood, 

 easily start a fire that will at once 

 start tempering your rooms. 



No water to heat or boil before 

 you get any heat. The minute you 

 start a Kelsey, that minute the 

 heat starts heating. 



It's a warm air heat. It's a fresh 

 air heat. It's a moist heat. It's 

 an economical heat that's noiseless, 

 dustless, leakless.

IS THE ENEMY ON 

 YOUR FARM? 



This is a war of endurance. 

 Men and money are important 

 but — food counts most. Soldiers 

 who fight must eat. So must their 

 dependents at home. The world 

 must be fed. 



Every idle acre of reclaimable 

 land on your farm aids the enemy. 

 Every acre of unfilled soil de- 

 prives many needymouths of food. 

 The sinking of each food ship 

 is a disaster, but the idle acres of 

 America could grow more food 

 per year than all of the enemy's 

 submarines can destroy. 



Fight the enemy now, with 



RED CROSS FARM POWDER 



It is the most efficient reclaimer 

 of cut over, boulder strewn or 

 swamp land. It helps to solve the 

 labor problem, enables one man 

 to do the work of many and does 

 it better and quicker.

 eign shipments. Buy 

 nursery stock grown at 

 Andorra. 



Our catalogue, 

 "Suggestions for 

 Effective Planting" 

 on request. 



WHICH KIND OF PLANTS DO WU GROW? 



THE difference between the above plants is the difference between 

 SUCCESS and FAILURE. Start two plants at the same time in 

 the same size pots and with the same kind of soil. On one use i tea- 

 spoonful of "RED-SNAPPER" Plant Food in a quart of water every 

 two weeks and on the other use plain water. The result will be as 

 above. Pictures tell more than words. 



"RED-SNAPPER" is not merely a stimulant but an actual plant food 

 — rich and nourishing — creating a wonderful growth of foliage and 

 a luxuriant profusion of flowers almost beyond all expectation.
