' Let's borrow our motto from "mammy"; “It ought to be fine/I live here!" -Strickland Gillilan 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.

Diamond Dyes Highest Qualiiyfor 50 Years “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. eeoo 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.

Then work out the fruit part, taking care not to penetrate the skin anywhere else. Fill the rind with dry soil or sand and put it in some warm place. 1n a. week or so the rind will have become hard and dry and then the soil may be tipped out. Place the lemon rind in a. cup or anything similar to hold it upright and then fill with moist soil. Now push a nice plump pip down into the sollso that it is covered by about half an inch. Never let the soil get dry but do not keep it wet. Soon the young plant will appear and if it is kept in a warm room, it will grow rapidly. time tips of the roots will try to force their way through the rind, and these should be steadily pinched off. ‘This will have a. dwarfing effect on the lemon tree, which will soon begin to take on quite an old appelrm .
