A COUNTRY GARDEN

“Tha horse-chestnut tree. in the earlier weeks of spring. is a sight for gods and men. If_ybu are well outside its branches. you see the richly-painted flowers rising tier above tier on all its glorious slope up to the odorous heights that be- long to birds and bees; if you are under its shadow. you walk in a soft green light."

Hamcrton. ’ The horse-chestnut in the gar- can here is lovely now as I write and must ‘be a. very old tree. Many small saplings have been given a- way to other gardeners: a good deal of room is necessary for the chesmui.-tree as it grows to a large else.

In the perennial borders, the or- iental poppies are making a good showing of oolor. There are the scarlet. and salmon colors grown from seed many years ago. Thc. but crimson has strong stems "tint rise well above the foliage and it is the favorite. The Oriellial ‘poppy is one of the hardlest. oi‘

‘ irises are llai'd_v perennials and increase so fast. that many divis- ions can soon be made. Beautiful new colors have been added through the years and the season is weeks longer. if cai'l_v and late varieties are planted. They will stand a good deal of neglect and only today has the grass been weeded from the iris in this garden. This is the way iris is described in a lovely catalogue: "No flower in the gar- den produces siich a riot of color as the new tall bearded iris. An iris garden in full bloom looks as if some invisible painter had flung his pot of colors about in all directions —- a splash of red here. a dash of yellow there and every color of the rainbow flowing in between. In fact, no flower in existence possesses so great a color range as the ills. And besides. they are dependable. easy to grow, and vcry hardy."

No perennial garden is complete without. a gt-iicrous planting oi these radiant. flowers that combine the boldness of color display with the fragility of orchids. Iris are especially beautiful harmonized with peonies and puppies which bloom at the same timc.

The fragrant while and mauvc sweet rocket. or to be correct tllesperisi. also blooms at this time and is making the gardcii lovely and fragrant at. all times. but more so in the evenings. The Honeysuckle hedge is pink with blossom and with the lilacs and the many old-fashioned snowball or «Viburnum shrubs makes the gar- den a delight_ All of these shrubs were grown from layeriugs at the cost of the labour. The more I sec of these llEll'd_\' shrubs the better I like them. They requlrc so lit- tle care after good planting and they give so much beauty. Every year more shrubs are added to the garden here and soon all hrirdy varieties will be growing. That will be a happy day for this old gar- dencr.

Thalictrum is showing ‘its fcath- cry creamy mauve and white clus- ters. The foliage is elegant and finely-divided. like columbine or maiden-hair. and it is useful for ciitting.

was cnlJdrens' talk now is of last class tests and the grading examin- ations and they find the evenings all too short for their requirements of study. Because as Gage said. “You can't." expect a fellow to come in- door: before it commences to get dark. How can he anyway, for isn't he busy out-of-doors? And then when he gets in he made a funny face. what does that. old clock say? It's bedtime and after‘ I think. he offered. we should have our hardest tests in the winter when the evenings are long and we have plenty of time to study."

Picnics too are now among the more fascinating subjects of sea- sons—the joys and the partings they will bring. Old ties. . .nice once, congenial school-relations severed- a pleasant chapter in their book of schooldays brought all at once to an end. Always for these child- ren with sighs of regret. And then the volume is closed and put away for the season of holidays. Bye and bye it will be opened and on a clean white page new entries a bit strange at. first will be set down there.

Our farmers fashioned drills. and later sowed mangeis in a field of this farm today, continuing into the turnip patch to have, if fair weather keeps. the cropping about complete by tomorrow.

DOROTHY DIX Nomadic Pa And Ma

DEAR MISS DIX: MY huaband has five brothers and sisters. all married and widely scattered a- cross the United States_ For the past few years his mother and father have been traveling back and forth from one married off- spring to mother. They stay six months or a year in one home. then become dissatisfied and move on. All the children are very much devoted to their parents, who are very easy to get along with. and there has never been a complaint no my knowledge) from either side. Any one of the children. in- cluding the in-la\vs_ would-be very happy to have the parents settle with us. Why. then, csnlt. they be satisfied in one place? My father- in-law usually manages to get work in the town he‘s currently visiting, since he's an expert carpenter and cabinetmaker. This is an additional reason why we just can't. under- stand the restlessness of the older folks. who are in their early six- ties.

Gladys T. A SPLENDID IDEA

ANSWER: You should be re- joicing instead of complaining. Here are two older people who have made a splendid adjustment of their later years and you're dig. satisfied! Either you're very un- reasonable or there's something in the situation that hasn't been dis- closed. Could it be that Mom and Dad are so very useful or so gen- erous with time and money that each family wants to keep them? Apparently it isn't the condition in each individual home that causes dissatisfaction in the old- 51‘ Deople, but. a strong desire to set on and see how the growing

family is progressing. since the children are so wide. ly scattered. seeing them all even once a year would involve more travel than is feasible; hence the parents have hit upon the excel. lent. scheme of making lengthy visits. Apparently they are wary, W°- 8130"‘ lpacing their stays to

On a breath of sunny wind we watched apple blossoms drift down today—the falling of the spring. which all our wishes could not stay. Now too the first-blown of the lilacs, exceedingly lovely this year. commence to fade. But col- umbines ring out their demure bells and on old bushes. red roses bud. Drift of blossoms_ mauve cloves of lilacs. color of columbine. hope of red roses. we think we stirred in with the cake we baked and the cookies, to piece the meals of those who came in to us hungry from work and from play. Gage helped at the sowing of tur- nips this evening. gathering up a rich treasure-trove of containers to bring to the playhouse beneath an old orchard tree.

And so. family and housewife busy at this and that, the day spent itself happily. as has the Spring season to bring all now in good time to the rich "beauty and bloom" of quiet summer days.

That Body of Yours

By James w. Barton. M. D- HEBPEB Z03'l‘EB—8lllNGLES — TREATED WITH CORTISONE

A patient oonsuitedhls physician and asked him what was the cause of what. seemed to be a number of small inflamed pimples. The physi- clan replied that it. was very likely herpes zoater which can last a num- ber of weeks with itching and some- times very severe pain. usually fol- lowing the course of a nerve on one side of the body. Some of these cases persist for years. particularly in the elderly, the pimples or blis- ters clearing up but the pain re- curring. other cases may run a regular course of four to six weeks. as do many children's diseases. and then clear up completely.

Since the demonstration in IMO of the dramatic effects of cortisone in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. both this drug and ACTH have been tried in a variety of other diseases and they are continually being employed by research phy- sicians. one of the latest being in herpu zoeler.

Five patients. four women and one man. ranging in ages from 32 to 72 years. with severe herpes water, were given cortisone by mouth. They were given 200 mg. the first day in four divided doses. followed by 100 mg. daily for seven days. 'I‘hereafu:r the dose was reduced to 25 mg. twice I day for four days.

What was the effect of this treatment of shingles by cortisone? Dramatic relief of pain occurred in four of the five cases treated. The skin eruption did not progress in any of the patients nor was there any evidence of a secondary or fur- ther infection, healing occurring within one to three weeks. All pat- ients felt. so well they were able to go on with their usual work.
