Timely Advice

fly Geode: uldaay Smith)

KEEP GOING — It is no trouble at all to have a clean. well grow- ing garden, if one spends a little time on the job right now. The weeds are small and easily de- stroyed. The soil is moist and quick- ly cultivated. Thinning and tram- planting are done with a minimum of worry and effort. A few minutes with a cultivator or spade at this season of the year will save hours later on.

with "both flowers and veget- ables. the best plan is to have the bed thoroughly cultivated or dug before any planting is done and the soil worked up to the fin- est possible tilth. In early spring this is soon done and particularly before the seeds are sown and have started to sprout. After this thorough preparation, it is a com- paratively simple matter to run over the whole plot or bed once ii week with a light cultivator and this routine will keep the garden flourishing.

KEEP PLANTING — Another point on \\l‘llrh too much emphasis cannot be laid is to continue plant- ing. It is much better to plant a little every week for a month or so than to try and get everything in at once. There is no good reason why most vegetable and a lot of flowers cannot be planted for many weeks yet and this gradual planting will produce far more satisfactory results tnan sowing or setting out al‘. at once. The vegetable garden partictiiarly. , should be planted gradually with only a portion of the carrots. beets, beans, com. etc. soon at one Lime.

In the flower line. experienced gardeners will sow such things as zinnias. petunias. asters. cosmos and other annuals in little plots here. and there in the flower gar- den. When these come up they wil: leave only a few plants in the original position and transplant the surplus to other parts of the garden. Handled carefully, these ‘Tm-‘plants will come along almost as QlllI'l(l_\' as those left untouched and thus a large flower garden can be planted at trivial cost.

AVOID THESE -— The three corn.

For Gardeners

too thick and too deep. These fundamental Wl.I'n.lI'l§3 reier to seed planting. The average person is in- clined to start too soon, to plant while there is still danger of sharp frost. One should read the direc- tions on the seed pat-ket or the seed catalogue carefully. Little is gained and much risked by rush- ing the season.

Seed is usually small but the plants produced from that seed may be several feet tall. Bear- ing this in mind, we should spread seed thinly. never closer than an inch or so. and even when so spaced. most things will require rigid thinning later on.

And almost every one is inclin- ed to plant for too deeply. With tiny seed such as that of lettuce. cai1'ol.s. cosmos. ziniiias. puppies. and alyssum, which are not much larger than the head of a pin or shingle nail. it is not necessary to cover at all. We sow these in the finest. soil and merely press in. Then. if possible. we keep the soil dampened until germination starts. With larger seeds such as nastur- tiums. peas, beans and corn. one should cover lightly, say a Quarter to half inch. With bulbs or corns of gladioius. dahlias. or potatoes, one plants four to eight _lnches deep.

IN HI-IAVY SOIL — Germinating seeds and roots do not like air. Hence in any seed bed one should have the soil as fine as possible. raking several times or cultivi-iting thoroughly to break up the lumps. Then after the seed is sown, the soil should be pressiad down firm- ly and if it is not moist, it is a grind plan to water thorouglily. but care- fully. to avoid washing out the seed or covering it to deeply. In moist. fine. warm soil. germina- tion will start quickly.

In very heavy still sometimes it is hardly possible to create this situation and experts advise a lit- tle extra effort especially where fine seed is sown or things like carrots and parsnips which are most difficult to germinate. With these it is an excellent plan to dig I shallow trench and fill with special fine. rii-li soil i'i'om the compost heap. Where this prac-

Swallowing

Poison First Aid and

Home Nursing (St. John Ambulana)

Quick work is necessary to save the life of a person who has swal- lowed poison. says St. John Am- bulance.

Every moment's delay means that more of the poison is being absorbed into the system. Call a doctor immediately. tell him brief- ly what is wrong, and then take steps to get rid of the poison.

First of all_ don't waste time trying to find out what poison was ta|ten—-chances are you would not have the right antidote handy anyway. Try to induce vomiting by tickling the back of the patient’: throat with a spoon or two fingers. If this doesn't work give him a tumbler of water containing two tablespoons of salt.

Vomiting, however. should not be induced when the patient is unconscious or when the lips and mouth are burned.

An antidote — one pint of milk is the simplest -- should be given next, except when the patient is unconscious. If milk is not avail- able, then a pint of water may be given. Water won't neutralize the poison but it does dilute it.

Although to each type of poi- son has its own antidote, milk or water, is the best antidote for an untrained person to remember for general use.

0 I 0

Here are four other rules for the treatment of poisoning:

1. Place an unconscious patient in the prone position with the face turned to one side and not resting on a pillow. The prone posi- tion also facilitates the start of 'dl‘ldllClal respiration.

2. Start artificial respiratioii in- stantly if the breathing is feeble or unduly slow. Keep it up until a doctor takes charge.

3. Preserve for the doctor any remaining poison and any vomited matter.

4. Do not give any laxatives such as caster oil.

Remember. the most lmpoﬂanl thing to do when someone nai- lows poison is to summon a doc- tor as quickly as possible.

The Stars Say

By Eatrelllta For 'I‘omorrow

ON this day, the lunar vibra- tions are excellent for all house- hold matters. Renovating and iii- terior decorating plans started now should culminate most successfully and any purchases made for home use should prove satisfactory. Real estate matters are also favored.

Do what you can to promote happiness and congenislity in your home. Go out of your way to dis- play affection to those near and dear to you and. regardless of pos- sible confusion around you. keep the emotions at a steady levti.

If tomorrow is your birthday, you are now in the midst of an excel- lent cycle from both a professional and ﬁnancial point of view and. since your horoscope assures ihe co-operation of those in a position to aid you, you have great reason for optimism.

Personal relationships should prosper during most of 1054. and travel and romance will be under particularly beneflcent aspects dur- ing the summer months,

For the Birthday

Ari inclination to splurge socially may cost you more than it is worth during November and December. In fact. it would be extremely wise to watch finances in general during that period and to take no risks that might reap future hardship.

If faced with any‘ problun in- volving monetery matters then, seek constructive criticism and ex- pert help.

A child born on this day will be intelligent, self~confldent and Ii]- gresslve. .

That Body of Yours

By James W. Barton, M. D. CANCER OF LUNG INCREASING

The wars caused so many cases of stomach ulcer and stomach cancer that many of us may have the idea that cancer of the stom- ach is still the commonest kind of cancer. It may therefore surprise some that cancer of the lungs is today responsible for most cases of cancer. Thus we read in Geriatrics, the medical journal devoted to "Research and Clinical study of the Diseases and Processes of the most recent studies of Bronchog- enic Carcinoma «cancer of the lungi as presented by Drs. Alton Oschner. Paul di Camp. and 0.]. Ray of the staff at the Oschiicr

Clinic and Foundation Hospital, New Orleans. “Bronchogenlc cancer is in-

creasing more than any other cancer in the body, which cannot be ac- counted for entirely because. men and women live so much longer than ever before although naturally cancer of the lung is primarily a disease of older people."

In a series of 1.112 seen at the Clinic. 38 per cent were in their seventies. 30 per cent. in their sixties. 19 per cent between 40 and 49. 5 per cent between 30 and 39. in this series. 89 per cent. of the pa- tients were men and only 11 per cent were women. There were about an equal number of whites and colored.

These cancer resarch workers. re- port that it is the complications of lung cancer that oaiise most of the symptoms. It is only when there
