OLD LADY TELLS

Mary Pelon, 86, whowas bdrn in Sauit Ste. Marie, but now réides at Blind River and claims tdLbe the oldest pioneer in Algoma d§trlct, has a story to tell of the earTy dentistry in the district which gives one the creeps and should make all and sundry grateful that a kind‘ Providence established a more modern method of extracting teeth than was once practiced here by the Indians.

Mrs. Pelon recalls that 75 years ago the patient with a tooth ache was placed in a tub of water, the xvffending molar was split with a “chisel, and then, to kill ihc nerve, p, small. red hot iron was appled. ln a. few hours the pain would cease, she says, and in a few days the tooth would be sufficiently loose to be removed with a pair of

pliers or other means. i

Two small bohoa were taken from the front 1°09 01 a rabbit and fashioned into a sort of cross with strinif- A 5m!“ "hi" stone was then placed a. eoulple of inches above the cross to lure the fish. When a fish accepted the ball it had to be pulled hurriedly 1mm the water, for the least bit of slack line assured its escape. Pishins lines were made from bo'led bass- wood, which, whlle warm, was roll- ed on the knee into small, strinKY particles. This would be passed through the dried hiP-bmle 01 a caribou or moose, and as it grad- ually became smaller it would splice itself into one 1on8 00rd. quite capable of holding any fish in the lakes.

‘That herbs are again coming into their own is proved by the munber of herbalists establish- nenis one meets in London and large provincial centres. Even mall market, towns have their own ierbalist and there is a danger of .he thing being overdone. Every zardcu, however small, can find space for a few herb plants and aeifos are of such importance that HEYWpOlOEY is needed for again writing upon the subject. Herc we refer to herbs of value to the cook although some may interest the nurse. They may be annual, bien- nial or perennial in character. The 1ardy annual herbs are sown in the open ground in April but the Lender annuals and the two other classes require a. slight warmth when sown from now onwards and the seedings are gradually harden- ed off in frames before being [ilanteri in their permanent quar- ters. Decp soil well treated with manure will give the best results. Allow at least twelve inches apart and keep the surface soil stirred with the hoe. Most herbs like a. sunny spot when available. It is bard gardening to stick. these plants in any odd corner. Hardy annuals are Anise, Pot Marigold, Green PlITSlRllC, Borage, Summer Savory and Rampion. Bush and Sweet Basil are half-hardy annuals and Chervll, Angelica, Marjoram, pot and sweet, and Dill are blen- nlals. Perennial herbs which should be in every garden are Thyme, Sago, Rue, Balm, Fennel, Hore- hound and Rosemary. Shives are splendid for salads and make good substitutes for onions therein. A flavoring of herbs will make all

their value and possibilities.

LESIONS 0N THE LAWN

The soothing vista of fresh green lawns in the shade of leafy aven- ues is the one great asset of beauty that distinguishes Canadian resi- dential districts from the drab suburban disinterest of towns in less enterprizing countries. By thc same token, this Spring ls to be a busy one for the Canadian home beautifier. During the past winter with its comparatively light cover- iifg 6f snow, ice has, played havoc with the lawns.

In this connection, it is interest- ing to note the restoration methods of a. leading Canadian horticultur- lst, famous also for ihc lawns a- round his home. First of all, he rakes the bare spots clean, and, if necessary, adds a. modicum of good. healthy soil. He sows the seed, rakes it gently into the mould, rolls it, and takes great care to keep the bald places moist, as indeed he does to the whole of the lawn. The slight raking and the rolling brings the soil and the seed into intimate contact, thereby ensuring rapid germination. By the time the grass is three or four inches high, it will have sufficient root-hold to urlthstand the operaton of a. lawn- mower in common with the rest of the lawn. For the first cutting of the new grass on the ertswhile spots the machine is set rather The blades should be very sharp and well set to avoid pulling out ‘the young grass. As a. rule, however, the la/wns of this horticulturist stand the winter well, for the sim- Dle reason that in the late fall, October or November, he takes the precaution to spread fertilizer-bone

There is a. definite medical zea- son for that Springtime “all-tired- out feeling." Winter living condi- tions have thinned and devitalized your blood stream. A blood test would probably show that it isn't carrying the amount of oxygen- Nature's great vitalizer—required by the body tissues. Your blood is de- ficient in haemoglobin, the vital element which carries oxygen through the system. That 1s why you are languid, listless, and easily fatigued. '

This condition can be quickly made right. Actual tests recently directed by a reputable physician definitely proved that Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills greatly increase the hae- moglobin and ihc red. corpuscles in the blood stream-which is your lifc slreain—anti thereby revitalize the whole system.

Patients of both sexes-whose names and complete records are on flleau-erc given a treatment of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills under the phy- sician's supervision, and actual blood tcsis were taken by him. In his words. "The improvement was nothing short of remarkable." Every patient showed splendid increases in hvmoglobin, some over 20 per cent. The real significance of tho restorative effects of this world- famous remedy is seen when it Isl stated that the sympfoma h!

The results of this blood test con- firm the testimony of literally thou- sands of men, women and youths 1n ‘l2 different countries that Dr. Wil- llams' Pink Pills by oxygeniziug the blood stream, have positively re- lieved anaemic, rundown conditions, under-nourished nervous systems, habitual tiredness and rheumatic sufferings.

With the haemoglobin content and red (if/muscles of the blood stream restored to normal, tiredness gives way to a feeling of renewed strength. Nervous irritability van- ishes. Appetite is sharpened and dig- estion is stimulated. New energy and new vitality are experienced..

If you tire easily, lack ambition to do your work, have poor color and perhaps experience heart pal- pitation and dizzine don't, drag along day after day without doing anything about your condition. Be- fore it gets any worse, start right away on a treatment of Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills.

tilizer is imperative, and as regards seed, the usual grass mixture sold by leading firms is generally sat- flsfactory. A very good mixture for ‘Canada, however, may be made of lKehtucky Blue Grass and White, Dutch Clover at the rate oi’ 35 pounds of the former to one pound of the latter. In making a new law-n this is enough to cover half an acre, but for small lawns one ounce of this mixture is sufficient for three and a half square yards.

As a lawn is more or less a. per- manent factor, everything depends on the initial foundation. To make a fine lawn it ls important that the soil is of a good class, enriched ivith well rotted yard manure. If this is not available there are many cf- fective commercial fertilizers rec- ommended by seedsmen, but a. very satisfactory mixture may be made up of nitrate of soda, one half pound; sulphite of potash, oilc half pound; and swperphosphate and ground bone, one pound of each.

Look at the Girl's Mother, Not the Girl, is Dorothy Dix’s Advice to Prospective Bridegrooms — If She is Considerate of Her Husband, Grab Her Daughter, But if She is Peev- ‘ ish, Don’t Let Wild Horses Drag You to the Altar

A young man who is about to be nun-led asks me if I will give him a few tips about how to make his marriage a success. He says that; when a girl is about to set sail on the stormy sea of matrimony everybody loads her down with advice, but that no one ever throw; a hint by way of a life preserver to the bridegroom, although he is in lust as much need of a chart and compass as the bride is.

'I‘his is well. Too long has ft been considered that the way a marriage turned out was a. matter of luck instead of its being the result of intelllgen effort 'and, anyway, that the success or the feiiur. of it depended exclusively on the woman. Hence i. is a helpful sign to flnd out that a man expects to Io fifty-fifty with his wife on making a happy home and keeping her glad that she married him, instead of wondering why she did it,

Now 11y first piece of advice to ny bridegroom is to pick out his mother-in-iaw first. Don't look at Prettlkins.. Look at her mother, and listen to her mother talk, and observe how mother treats her husband, because ninety-nine times out of a hundred that will give you a close up of what Prettikins is going to be at 45 and how she will treat you if you marry her.

If mother is a good-looking, progressive, interesting woman: if she is broad-minded and philosophical and laughs things ofi’, and if she is ten- der and considerate of her husband, grab up Prettikins and rush with her to the nearest preacher. But if mother is slouchy and a sloppy house- keeper, and dull and narrow-minded and prejudiced and peevish and fret- ful, and if she nags at her husband and keeps his nose to the grindstone, don't let wild horses drag you to the altar with her daughter.

Next, make an intensive study of the bundle of inherited traits and habits and contradictions and nerves and temper that you are tying up with. Most men never really get acquainted with their wives. A hus- band can live with his wife for forty years without ever discovering why she does certain things and reacts in a certain way to certain other things, and without ever being able to guess which way the cat is going to Jump.

Therefore, they never find out how to manage their wives and they spend their whole married lives in ceaseless wrangles and quarrels and frustrations that could all have been avoided if they had only taken the trouble to find the key to the riddle of how to make their wives eat out of their hands.

Furthermore, in your ‘investigation in feminine psychology I would urge you to pay attention to these three peculiarities of the sex:

First. That women never shed their sweet tooth, no matter how e they get. At 90 they still crave to be fed on love talk and to be treato. as if they were brides. Hence, if you want to keep your wife happy, never cease courting her. Give her plenty of hot air and she will not ask for anything else.

S WEE T VANITY

RICHARD GOYNE

She was moving slowly to the open door when he called her back.

"One moment, please." His voice was listless rather than emotional. "I want to tell you that you need no longer hold to your bargain."

She had turned in the doorxvay, and her hand flew to her heart as she saw the chill dullness in his eyes. Two nights ago that confess- ion of defeat would have thrilled her with triumph. Now, wining up- on the heels of sucn a misunder- standing, it stupifled hcr. It was as though n. clzimmy hand laid itself ou hcr heart. all unexpectedly, so that she had not even room for pride.

"You mean," she stammered, "that you want me to givc you brick your ring?"

"I wan-t you," he ansivcrcd sini- ply, “to marry ihc man you love; even if, tcrsely, "it will only save you from the necessity of repeating such a disastrous piece of folly as you chose for tonight."

And now Cynthia understood the vital emoton blazing beneath his exterior calm.

"Arc you-ma: you lTlOlTlllg to Dicky?" she cried. "If so, I can as-

The last word was a Basil. as 511° realised how he must intoffflel what she had said. This was surely his final disillusionment.

"1 think you might, at least, have omitted to state that so definltelifi" 11g "plied, taking the ring she had drawn mechanically from her hand. "As to the future, Cynthia. you may be assured that, whatever your plans, I shall not stand in your way."

m; opened the door for her.

The rain fell silently, having waned into but. a showery shadow of its former anguish, by the time the yrcachcd the lodge gates 0f he!‘ home, and she stepped from the car into the roadway. She refused his offer to carry her case to the house and, in deference to her wish he put it out after her, speaking and acting as if she had become nothing more to him, now, than the merest acquaintance.

“Goodnight!”

The door closed. The car leapt

the rain. Cynthia swayed as she stared after it, a sob of helpless- ness upon her trembling lips. What had happened? What had happen- ed? Nothing, so far as she was con- cerned, yet-

Peter had gone. He didn't want such things.

Once again love trembled, a vel-

vet petal, upon the brink of revela- return fer all he has done and suf- sure you I haven't the slightest ln- tion. Once again it was crushed fond {or you?

Second. Never forget that women put more stress on words than on deeds. A man may work himself to death to lap his wife in luxury, but she will doubt his love and consider herself a poor abused creature if he never mentions the state of his affections to her. But if he will tell her every day how he loves her, she will take in boarders to support him and thank God on her knees for having- given her a pearl among husbands.

‘Ihird. Remember that women put an inordinate value on little things. You may beat a woman. You may starve her. You may neglect her. And she will still be happy if you will only take her out on an occasional party and remember annlversarics and send barrow and then a bunch of flowers.

Use diplomacy in handling your wife. Don t bnter YURI-mil w pieces against the stone wall of her peculiarities: Step around them. Don't antagonize her. Placate her. Sugar catches more feminine flies than vinegar does.

If you want. your wife to be economical, don't knock her extravagance. Praise her thrift. If you want her to be a good housekeeper, don't criti- cine her bad cooking. Laud her pies and she will break her neck to come up to your good opinion of her.

"Walt, I must telephone—"

She turned to race towards the house, but the memory of a. sen- tence in that letter, and of last night, stopped her ‘ere she reached the gate in the tall wire fencing of the court-

She stiffened, her lips setting in a firm line. It was too soon to rea- lise that Peter was gone for ever. It would be foo late to call him back when she did.

She shook her head defiantly.

"I don't care. I don'tl Let h'm gol He was a. beast to th‘nk-"

She beckoned the messenger.

The youth shook his head.

"1 do not thini; so, ma'am. He was leaving when he gave me that letter. He's gone off to London, I think."

Cynthia nodded, and unintended laugh of broke from her lips.

Cynthia picked up the case and, with tears and rain mingling upon her white face, turned up the wind- ing drive towards the house.

1t was late the next afternoon that a letter arrived by hand, from the Oavendish-Marland premises in the town. The messenger found Cynthia alone on the tennis lawn, and delivered it himself.

It was from Peter, and it was as astounding as it was brief:

"Dear Cynthia,

"I a-m leaving Midley in less than an hour, for Iondon. Tomorrow, I sail for an ultimate destination un- known even to myself.

"Upon what you already know, I am honor bound to add a confir- mation I learned myself only two hours ago. I had no right to seek your love. I am not free.

"Whatever the future holds for me does not matter: even, very much I am afraid, to .me.

"I am adding one word of appeal for a man I have come to honour and respect most deeply. Your fa- ther's happiness depends more up- on you, and your behaviour, than you may think. Isn't it rathe- up to you t1 rmicmber that. fact, in
