A HAPPY FAMILY 
These Airedale Terrier Puppies are healthy 
as well as happy because they are fed on the 
right kind of food. 
They are fed on CHAMPION DOG BIS¬ 
CUIT and this insures their health. Our 
food is clean and easy to handle when feed¬ 
ing. There is no moisture or dirt and it 
needs no preparation before feeding; just give 
the dog one or two biscuits and he will do the 
rest. 
It is the ideal food to take along when going 
camping.

coat thoroughly lathered. See that the 
whole body is soaked evenly and rubbed 
well. When you come to rinse this off, 
use cool — in the case of hardy dogs, cold— 
water. As the season progresses, and if 
your dog is one of the strong, vigorous 
kind, you may rinse off the soap by play¬ 
ing the hose over him, and it will cause no 
harm. 
Probably the most tedious and yet most 
important payt of the bath is the drying. 
With all the tender, long-haired dogs great 
care should be taken to squeeze the water 
out of the coat by rubbing the hands along 
the body and down the legs and squeezing 
it out at the feet. A sponge with the water 
squeezed out will be in condition to absorb 
a great deal of the moisture. Finally re¬ 
sort to the towel and a brisk rubbing will 
dry him well enough to let him go out and 
run in the sun, but the exercise must be 
continuous until the animal is brought in 
the house. When the weather is quite 
warm, a strong dog will receive no ill 
effects if allowed to run about on clean 
grass after his bath, but one should be on 
the lookout to see that weather conditions 
are favorable, as the least chill is apt to 
cause permanent injury. A. W. D. 
An Easily Grown Companion 
Flower 
lV/T OST everyone has a place in his 
-*-*'*- heart, and in his garden, for the 
sweet pea, and while it makes an at¬ 
tractive bouquet by itself, there is one 
charming, fairy-like flower that, when used 
with it, enhances its beauty. While it is in 
taste, and generally produces a much better 
effect, to confine each bouquet to one kind 
of flower, and especially to one tone of 
color, this flower, the annual “Baby’s 
Breath,” known botanically as the Gypso- 
phila elegans alba, may be used with almost 
any flower, for white, as we all know, 
never clashes with any color. 
The flowers are so small, so numerous 
and so well held apart, showing their in¬ 
dividuality, and on almost invisible stems, 
that they produce a misty effect, and seem 
to be floating over, and in among their 
more heavily formed companions. 
While not advisable to use it with the 
larger flowers, such as the African mari¬ 
golds, or the large asters, because the con¬ 
trast in size is too great, it produces a most 
charming effect with sweet peas, snap¬ 
dragon or flowers of similar size. One of 
the daintiest bouquets I ever saw. was 
composed of a clear pink snap-dragon, and 
this flower, the snap-dragon being seen 
through the veil of the star-like Gypso- 
phila. 
This flower is an easily grown hardy an¬ 
nual from the Caucasus, requiring an open, 
sunny situation, and frequent sowing for a 
succession of bloom. The flowering stems 
are slender, upright and repeatedly forked, 
producing numerous terminals, each bear¬ 
ing a diminutive, pure white, five petaled 
flower, — there is a pink form in the trade 
which I do not consider worth growing. I 
sow a row ten feet long out doors as soon 
as the ground is warm enough, generally 
hi writing to advertisers please mention House and Garden.
