On every outing: 
KODAK 
Add to the pleasure of the trip itself by taking pictures of 
the places and the people that interest you—then you will have 
the after pleasure that comes from possessing the pictures them¬ 
selves. 
Anybody can take and finish pictures by the Kodak system—and do it 
well. Because simpler to handle, Kodak films give better results than glass 
plates. You need no dark-room for loading the camera, or for unloading. 
Even the developing is done without a dark-room and print making is easy 
(again no dark-room) with Velox paper. If you don’t care to do your own 
developing and printing, Kodak film, being light and unbreakable, may be 
readily mailed to your dealer for finishing. 
Kodak means photography with the bother left out. It offers the simple, 
easy way to good pictures—and it is less expensive than you think. 
Catalogue of Kodaks and Brownies (they work like Kodaks) free at 
your dealers or by mail.

A SWISS HORTICULTURAL SCHOOL. 
At Wadenswill near Zurich, the Swiss 
government maintains a national horti¬ 
cultural school and experiment station. 
Naturally much of the espalier training 
is done as a matter of novelty simply 
to show what can be done. It also 
shows how closely trees can be grown 
when they are kept pruned back to a 
single stalk or trained on a wall or 
trellis. Frequently apple and pear trees 
grown in this way are planted not over

The location is ideal, lying as it does three feet apart. In productiveness they

lounclecl by the Alps mountains of mid- conditions, because the heavy pruning

die Switzerland. The country reminds 
one of the lake region of western New 
York, except the scenery is more pic¬ 
turesque. The work of the institution 
itself is divided into three distinct lines, 
orcharding, vegetable gardening and 
grape culture. The experimental work 
concerns itself particularly with the 
control of plant diseases, plant breed¬ 
ing and the manufacturing of horti¬ 
cultural products. The latter work con¬ 
iines itself almost entirely to the manu¬ 
facturing of drinks, cider from apples 
and pears, and wine from grapes. The 
European is much more fond of drink¬ 
ing his fruit products than eating them 
out of the hand. For this reason the 
greater part of the fruit grown is man¬ 
ufactured into drinks. 
Grape growing for wine is not as im¬ 
portant as in the Rhine district of Ger¬ 
many or in Italy, but still is very com¬ 
mon. Apples and pears are found 
everywhere and particularly the more 
common varieties grown for cider. The 
_Swiss_ have perfected the art of mak¬ 
ing cider to such an extent that they 
manufacture a beautiful, clear cider that 
is preserved in an unfermented form 
and served throughout the year. It 
makes a wholesome and palatable drink 
that is very generally used. The fruit¬ 
growers are organized in cooperative 
societies, and the manufacture of their 
fruit is done very largely through these 
societies, as well as the sale of their 
products. 
The most striking feature of the 
orchards and grounds of the horti¬ 
cultural school at Wadenswill is the ex¬ 
cellent specimens of fruit trees trained 
in the espalier form. From a commer¬ 
cial standpoint the system is not practi¬ 
cal, but by using it they are enabled to 
grow trees where otherwise it would 
be impossible, as in the borders of 
grounds, on walls and along paths. 
When one. sees as shown in the photo¬ 
graphs, I'igs. 301 and 302 what a 
skilled gardener can do in training fruit 
trees, he realizes as never before that 
as the twig is bent the tree grows. 1 
tends to make them fruit, but of course 
the amount of bearing wood on any 
one tree is very limited. H. c. price.

DUBIOUS 
About What Her Husband Would Say. 
A Mich, woman tried Postum because 
coffee disagreed with her and her 
husband. Tea is just as harmful as 
coffee because it contains caffeine —the 
same drug found in coffee. She writes: 
“My husband was sick for three years 
with catarrh of the bladder, and palpita¬ 
tion of the heart, caused by coffee. Was 
unable to work at all and in bed part of 
the time. 
“I had stomach trouble, was weak and 
fretful so I could not attend to my house¬ 
work—both of us using coffee all the 
time and not realizing it was harmful. 
“One morning the grocer’s wife said 
she believed coffee was the cause of our 
trouble and advised Postum. I took it 
home rather dubious what my husband 
would say—he was fond of coffee. 
"But I took coffee right off the table 
and we haven’t used a cup of it since. 
\ ou should have seen the change in us, 
and now my husband never complains 
of heart palpitation any more. My 
stomach trouble went away in two 
weeks after I began Postum.’ My chil¬ 
dren love it and it does them good, 
which can't be said of coffee. 
A lady visited us who was usually 
half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup 
of Postum. She said it was tasteless 
stuff,, but she watched me make it, boil¬ 
ing it thoroughly for 15 minutes, and 
when done she said ft was splendid. 
Long boiling brings out the flavor and 
food quality.” Name given by Postum
