The radish is one of the most mluable aids to gardeners. espec- ially to beginners. The seed is cheap and can be grown by amateurs so fhat it is available to all.

The bright scarlet and the long white radishes are tasty in early prmg, highly enjoyed by young folks.

As garden row-markers they are unequalled.

It is necessary to remember this when seeding the vegetable plot as it will save you from probable loss and will greatly assist you in your hobby.

When seed is sown too lavishly the plants COIIlC up in a. continuous :ow. As they develop they touch shoulders, and soon start to weaken zach other, become spindley and almost worthless.

To prevent this the gardener up- roots surplus seedlings so that :hose remaining will be anything from 4 to 12 inches apart. This i3 called thinning.

Thinnings of sonic vegetables may be transplanted but are never as satisfactory as vegetables that got l proper start the correct distance apart to begin with.

And ihc sccd that grew the thin- nings is just so much loss to the gardener. . Follow Instructions

Follow the instructions on the seed packet which usually tells how far apart the vegetables should grow, from row to row and plant to plant.

some seeds are very fine and it is difficult to take individual seeds and place theme where desired.

Seeds of radish are large and easily seen. So when you have the row or drill made at the proper depth press a 2 by 4 board or sim- ilar board against the bottom of the row.

This makes the soil firm and the seed can be seen easily. Drop a. radish seed at the required intervals. t up to i2 inches apart, according to instructions on catalogue or seed packet.

Then fold an ordinary sheet of writing paper in half, a sheet from

By gently Lapping the liitpCf, holding one encl oi the fold lower than the other, you get the seeds moving slowly toward the lower end so that one seed at a time can ‘cc circpgicd between the radish seeds the propel" dlblilllif‘.

The radish seeds germinate in a few days. The seedlings shoot up through the surface marking the rovvs and in a few weeks the radish is ready for table.

ltfeantimc the other more valuable vegetable seedlings have comc through and the row can be‘ seen easily.

If two or more sccds (lid get into the row together. uproot all but one and fill in gain, where seeds failed to germinate, with the thlnnings.

In this way a very large area of garden can be seeded at little ex- pense, the vegetables are superior to those that had to be thinned heavily and there was no waste of blunt food from the soil.

“Good-for-Nothing Brat” Wants Instructions on How to Reform - Wife Must Decide for Herself Whether or Not to Div- orce Philanderer

Dear Dorothy Dix—What to do with a spoiled, good-for-uothlng brat? No, I haven't got one, I'm it. I have been pelted and spoiled until 1 am of no use whatever. I am selfish, lazy, impudent. I had two years

at one of the best schools in the State, but I did

nothing with my chance. I am not fitted to earn

my own living and I can't cook or sew.. I get up

at noon every day and sit by the fire until bed-

time. I am utterly miserable and make every one _

miserable around me. I am afraid to marry be-

cause I know I would ruin any man's life. I have

three little brothers who are being brought up the

same way. They are going to be messes just as I

am. When I toll my mother and father that I

am their fault and that they should have discip-

lined mo, they say l‘ am crazy, it is no one! fault

but my own. They have no use for me. What

to do? E. D. C.

Answer:

A girl as llllfilllnelll. us you are should see the answer to that question herself. It is to debunk herself, so to speak. Unspoil herself. Reform, and the way to reform is simply to face about and cure yourself of your faults‘.

Fortunately for you, you are still young enough to make over your lifc and to make what you will of it. Undoubtedly you have got ofi’ to a bad start, but you can make up for that, and the question now is, will you make the fifty or sixty or possibly seventy years that you still have to live a. blessing to yourself and a. benediction to all who come in contact with you, or will you let them be a. curse on your head and on those of all about you, because you have not the strength and the courage to make a fight for the right? It is absolutely up to you to decide your future. You say you are selfish. Well, then, why not teach yourself to prefer others to yourself? Adopt the Boy Scout motto of doing a good deed every day. If you are lazy, don't lie abed in the morning. Get up and go to work. Get you a. job, if you can. If you can't help your mother. I dare say she would be glad to have some one help her lift part of her | burden. If you arc impudcnt, shut your teeth on the lnsolcnt speech that rises to your lips. Teach yourself to show consideration to your family. Brake yourself of the habit of quarreling and fault-finding. You have no idea how much happier you will be when you begin giv- ing instead of taking, when you sacrifice yourself for others, instead of sacrificing them to yourself, and when you put the good of others before yourself. .

It is considered bromidic now to talk about the rewards of a good conscience, but, believe me, they are there, just the same. No selfish person is ever happy, because selfishness grows by what it feeds upon and it can never be satisfied. But the unsclvsh who seek the good of others reap a pure joy in seeing their works bear fruit. . ‘

You are right in saying that the blame for what you are rests on your parents’ head rather than yours. I don't believe that them is a greater crime in the world than spoiling children, for it not only wrecks the life of the child itself but of all who are brought in intimate contact with it. -

If you will look at‘ the failures all about you, you will see that nearly every one of them was a. spoiled brat. What is the drunkard but the boy who was never taught to control his appetite? Who are the women of the street but the girls who had to have whatever they craved, whether it was a. man or a. new dress? Who are the derellcts who can never make a~1iving but the spoiled girls and boys who were never made to do anything hard? Who are the murderers but those who were allowed to give way to their passions? All, all the result of mother never being able to say "NO" to her precious darlings.

Parents seem to think that if they will not discipline their children they \vili_som'ehow slide through the world doing exactly as they please. Never was there a greater mistake. The discipline that father and mother did not give them life gives them with a heavy hand, and when they have learned their lesson it is too late to do them any good.

Don't let this be your unhappy fate. Save yourself while there is vet time- DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix—My husband and I are 39 years old. We have been married sixteen years and have two girls, one 14, one 10, end my husband's mother, who i.s an invalid, lives with us. We have always been happy, even though my husband has a mean, quick temper, until now, when I have discovered that he is unfaithful to me. I own our home, which is s. very nice one, and have enough income of my own to pay the taxes and insurance, which I have always done, but would not be able to support the home alone. I have told my husband that as he was not happy with me I would. give him his freedom, but he doesn't want a divorce. I-Ie is proud of his home and of me, too, and wants some one to love "and care for his mother.

A crowd had collected on the beach. A sealed bottle was bobbing shoreward and visions of some rom- antic message, perhaps from a cast- away on a desert island, filled their minds.

Dorothy Dix’ Letter Boxil

I Resolve:

To keep my health;

To do my work;

To live;

To see to it I grow and gain and give;

Never to look behind me for an hour;

To wait in meekness and to walk in power;

But always fronting onward to the light,

Always and always facing toward the right.

Robbed, starved, defeated, fallen, \vide-ast-ray—

On, with what strength 1 have;

Back to the way. —Chariotte Perkins Stetson.

Often you can rejuvenate a lamp shade considerably by re-goldlng the top and bottom line of it.

Gold paint comes inexpensively and often a small brush comes with it. If your lampshade happens to he the kind that has Bold or sally col- ored binding topand bottom that is worn ofl in spots, you can purchase this binding at art departments. It is simple to put on and gives a fin- ished look to your shade that is gratifying.

INDOOR GARDENS

Nothing pops up your winter sun porch like an ivy garden. ‘ Put a large, three-cornered box across one comer of the room and. plant it full of ivy. This is a. very easy plant to raise, as it thrives in any soil, need- ing only plenty of water to keep alive"

If you live in a climate where ivy does not grow or cannot be bought, substitute that old standby, wan- daring, Jew in place of it. n neither one is available, don't forget that sweet potato vines are beautiful. You simply take a large sweet pota- to-one which shows plenty of sprouts on the outside~cut it in two and stick each hrlf in a dish containing a little water. In a short space of time the sprouts will start to grow and soon you will have a luxurious‘ vine growth in each dish.
