Wife Noi- Just Children's Mother

Young Fry HappieriWilh Their Owri Contemporaries

DEAR MISS DIX: I have two boys, one 11, the other 8. When we go out riding I always put the two boys in the back and sit with my husband. My mother-in-law thinks this is terrible. She says I should let one sit with the father and the other with me. lily neighbors also gossip about this. I am young and I am crazy about my husband and like to be with him. What must I do?

A WORRIED WOMAN

ANSWER: Quit bothering about what your mother- in-law and your neighbors think on this subject. Laugh off their criticisms. It is none of their business, any- way. Let them sit where they please in their cars and you do the same in yours.

As a matter of fact I think the arrangement you make is the wise one. If you consider it from the children's point of view, which I sup- pose is your mother-ln-iaw's angle, the two boys are far happier and have more fun skylarking together on the back seat than either one would have if forced to sit demurely by his parents. Grown-up people and children bore each other stiff. They have nothing that they are really interested in to talk about together, but two kids about the same age can giggle and cilattcr for hours together over nothing.

Your husband ccrtuinl_v would find your society much more enter- itaining than that of one of the boys, and as you enjoy being with him it certainly secms that the happiness of the greatest number would be conserved by your following your own plan instead of that of his mother's and your neighbors‘.

And there is another side to the question, too, that of your keeping

~ Ellen ’s Diary B! Ln Illl-Illl Farmer's Wile L¢eo$e

The weeding in the field of roots near the buildings was continued today. a chore when even odd mo- ments were garnered and devoted towards bringing the present end of the task. These first hoeings come to our farmers in the nature of a sacred rite. to be carefully performed, and only by those, whose workmanship has been proved to do it well and faithfully. And if a poet will have it, and there are times and seasons vihen we quite agree with him. that “there is more beauty in a field of weeds, than iii all the blooms a hot-house garden yields", James is not one to ac- cept his point of view. l-Ie finds actual distress in the sight o? a neglected potato-field or other root- crop and never. never has a row of mangels, turnips or corn entrust- ed to his care in the wake of the seed-time been left to suffer lhe company of undesirable neighbours ‘or the order that is given by the ' first iloeing.

SUGAR AND CANDY All GOOD FOODS

Your dentist will tell you that the greatest single cause of decay in children's teeth is candy and sugar retained on the enamel, especially between the teeth. Grad- ually the particles penetrates through the enamel and the hard coat: beneath the enamel to inner structures of the teeth.

The first or baby teeth are im- portant and should be preserved until the second or permanent teeth are ready to take over. By keeping the baby teeth as long as possible not only are places ready for the permanent teeth but. the shape of the teeth and the lav: itself is preserved.

Although sugar and candy cause. teeth decay, if teeth are brushedj and spaces between teeth rinsedl ,out, little if any damage will oc-f lcnr to the enamel covering. If, this care ls taken there is no tea-l son why children should not eati more sugar and candy because’ sugar gives more energy in less time than any other food.

iioiihios iii Local Citizens

By Undo Joe

Near the Clyde River post-oftlce you may see a very attractive gar- den which was designed and laid out by Mrs. Gordon MacKinnon. Mrs. MacKinnon took up gardening as a hobby in recent years, and, for a novice, she has developed a well- planned and well-cared for garden which is a joy to herself and fam- ily, as well as to her friends when they have occasion to visit her dur- ing the spring and summer months. As I have already stated, it repre- seuts _an entirely original creation that has sprung into healthful ma- turity under the sole guidance of her own knowledge and original ideas.

All this required careful planning in advance, so that time and effort expended in the venture would not be wasted.

"Plan ‘according to Hoyle." said Lil-s, MacKinnon when I interview- ed her recently, “and give your trees and flowers the same per- sonal attention that is given to your children. While flowers do not require as much aid to reach healthy maturity as do they must have considerable ut- tention; but this can be taken care of by carefully observing a few simple rules, namely: correct plant- ing methods, preparation of the soil, typos of seeds to be selected, prun- ing, staking, etc., etc. Any good book on gardening-and there are a number of good ones-—wiil put you on the right track and keep you there if only you will carefully observe instructions.

I U

children

Mrs. MacKinnon believes that 95% of gardening failures result from improper planting—that is, provid- ing you have purchased high-grade nursery stock when you began your venture-hobby.

What a pity so few of us take up gardening! One does not realize this lack of beauty about our homes till he has paid a visit to some out- standing garden like Beechwood, for instance, the hobby of Mrs. Gordon MacKinnon, Cornwall. Actually. our homes are our king- doms, arid we should use them not alone for shelter from the elements, but also create about them beauti- fui little parks with trees, plants. etc. I sometimes think our home ties would be made stronger and our family life happier if all of us would become more beauty-minded. What a delightful picture our Island would be if every home nos- sessed an outdoor living room, wal- led in with flowers and attractive shrubs! What a quiet retreat such a spot would afford during the summer months or for part of our holidays! And what an added at- traction to tourists.

Every dollar invested in flower children and flowering shrubs would increase the value of cur homes many times the cost of the plants and bring to our citizens an added intangible value that can-tot be measured in mere dollars and cents.

Who has not thrilled at sight of a well-kept lawn, a correct front and side foundation planting about the home? Or whose face has not lighted up with joy when beholding well-filled flower beds with their multicolored fragrant blossoms, all adding grace and charm to the home setting?

I have yet to meet the person who was not proud, and justly so. of his or her outdoor living room; and, believe me, Mrs. Gordon lilac- Kinnon is proud of hers.
