The average dosage used was 34 grains of calcium succin. ate and 45 grants of aspirin daily divided into 4 equal doses.

TIPS

If you are using the whites of several eggs and have no immediate use for the unbroken yolks, put. them in a cup or a bowl and care- fully pour over enough water to cover. This will keep them from getting dry or crusty on the top. Try squeezing a little lemon juice over lamb chops before cooking them; it improves the flavor. Soak egg stains on table linen in cold water before putting tablecloth

or napkins into the wash. Hot water sets egg stains. An atomizer or small spray

should be used when watering seeds planted in the house.- The spray keeps the soil just moist enough and does not bury the needs as water sprinkled from n watering can is likely to.

Early flowering shrubs should not be pruned until after bloom- ing except to remove dead or in- lured wood.

If perennial border was streggly and barren in spots lest year, plan ahead of times for an- nuals to fill in the dull places.

Hydrangea and spires bushes may be pruned now if they were not pruned in the Fall.
