THE CHILDREN'S GARDEN If yuurhave started weeds indoors aud arc nursing baby plants tn tho house until they are large enough and tho, weather Is warm enough to put thorn outdoors, then you must get a place ready for them. - Just as soon as the frost leaves tho ground, and . it dries - out enough so .that you cannot make mud pfes with It, but so that when you try to mould a mud pic it crumbles Into powder, then the garden should be spaded. If you are not strong enough to spado your own garden, mother will got help for you; but you must over sea It, and be sure that the soil Is mado loose to a depth of at least one "foot; very fine, and raked smooth on top. W.hon the garden is ready, you can sow outdoors soeds which you have not started in the house. But do not set out tho baby plants until there Is no longer any danger of a hard frost. Because plants started Indoors are tender, and will suffer more from cold, then they would If they had been grown outdoors. Seeds sown outdoors will take some time to germinate, and the young seedlings of plants which are hardy will stand considerable frost. Hut do not sow see da such as nasturtiums and hyacinth beans until there is no danger of frost. And do not sow largo seeds such as marigolds and zinnias until the ground Is fairly warm.

It is sound, safe practice to put any child to bed upon the first symptoms of the onset of a cold. It must be remembered, however, that a room comfortable for tho lightly drcsHcd mother or other attendant, will probably Increase the severity uf the oncoming head cold. If necessury, open windows well at top and bottom, in order to havo tho temperature cool enough to necessitate some extra wraps for anyono who stays in the sickroom. A diet . need not be scanty In order to be allowable. Simple, scnslblo food may bo as a rule allowed to whalover extent the patient's uppetlto Indicates. Bit by bit the kitchen has under gone a tremendous transformation. It is now coining out of tho stern period of immaculate whiteness of ten years ago into a period that, while taking cleanliness for grant ed, demands color, sunlight and ,a pleasant outlook from the win dows, the coal range, with Its dirty ashes need not be Installed even in thoso localities where there Is no gas, now that gasoline pressure stoves, kerosene oil stoves, canned gas stoves ' and electric stoves are so easy to install and operate.

Drop the seeds carefully into the drill from the seed packet and cover the seeds, and make tho earth firm above thein. Water tho gar den If you can. The rows In your garden should be not less than one foot apart; and 18 inches apart is better. , When tho seedlings appear, they must be thinned out; and the seed lings which are not needed may be given away or planted elsewhere, or destroyed. Do not hesitate to do this thinning out, fur if you do not all your plants will suffer. - Don't forget tho element of fra grance in the garden. The night' scented stock is the most fragrant plant that can be used but il has no beauty. At night It scents tho surrounding territory with Its spicy fragrance.

Tho infant should have n daily routine which considers all func tions of his body. Ills training re quires patience and regularity. It should bo continuous, without a break, In order to mako desirable responses automatic. The activity of the nervous system Is most plas tic, most liable to modification. during tho first weeks of life. Il Is therefore desir.ible to follow a system very early, bnginning Jn the first month. The child will then grow In the way In which he has been taught to behave. Don't nag and lecture your child. It makes a child either callous or peevish. When you do give a re buke and make them rare let it bo sharp and to the point. Rathruom Modernizing1 Have you an all-whlto bathroom equipped with cxpenslvo fixtures bought to last a lifetime? And are you longing to have one of the colorful new bathrooms? You can without discarding your present fixtures. To secure tho modern sparkle of color in your whlto room use a bright, light paint, water-proof fabric or a glazed paper on the upper walls; replace the white shower curtain with a solid color or floral patterned ono In water-proof material; use bright rugs ,in harmony with your new color scheme; and whenever your linen must be renewed, select tint ed towels and wash cloths. A few more inexpensive touches, such as a colored toweling cover for a stool, a jar of tinted bath salts, and a few colored toilet bottles, will complete the successful moderni zation of your bathroom. 1 Humane Society Doll Up tho Pets Just a reminder at this timo that tho next few days should be busy ones for the children of tho county grooming their pets and getting them ready to enter the Pets Show to be held at tho Med ford Armory April liuth, which will be open to the public from 1 to 10 p. m. . . Take the pets you wish to ex hibit to the Boy Scouts headqquar ters. East Main and Bear creek, not later than 9:30 Saturday mor ning where tho parade wilt form. If it ruins, the parade will not be held and you must take your pets direct t o the armory. Dr. Stone will be in charge and will assign each pet to its special quarters. No sick animals will bo admitted. Mr. Brieker, scout master, and tho Boy Seputs will have charge -of the parade. Mayor Pipes will have tho streets cleared from the Scout headquarters to tho armory during the parade, and Chief of Police McCready and traffic officers will see that his or d ere are carried out. The lino of march will start from the Boy Scout headquarters, move up Main to Bartlett, north to tho armory whero tho peta will bo uss iff ned to their quarters. All children will be admitted free. Children too young to care for themselves must be accompan ied, by older persons. The Humane society will not be responsible for Injury to children or pets. . Values (By Ethel Fairmont) The things you love have value far Beyond what money values are. Love is tho world's most sorry The lonely souls know . best Its worth. Tho tllngs you love have their own place- Through love, to bring yoiir mind . more grace .. More gentleness of thought and deed, Aud thus fulfill a spiritual need.

May their trust Make mo more merciful and just. Things loved bring out the Best In you, They have important work to do. roat Britain leads How far our English friends are ahead of us tn their Interest in animal welfare Is evident by the repeated discussions that take place in the British parliament relative to the protection of ani mals from cruelty. Imagine our American congress meeting to con cern itself with a bill to guard per forming animals from all possibil ity of 111 usage, or a bill to protect horses, or mules or ponies in mines or a bill to empower a court when Imposing a fine upon a man for cruelty to his dog to dectaro hi in forbidden fur a given length of tlmo to take out another llcenso! Too many of those occupying the seats of the mighty among ui would deem It beneath their ex altcd station even to think of such things. Yet what days aro wasted by them In speeches over far less Important subjects. Even In our stale legislatures whero such mea sures would naturally come for action It Is too often that they are regarded as too trivial for serious consideration. Steadily, however, wo arc moving forward. Humane measures aro no longer greeted with either Indifference or ridicule They do get a hearing. Ilumano society.

Given a fine wall color, and a good clean contrast of colar In rug, dra peries or furniture covers, you can havo a livable und Interesting room for a moderate sum of ! money.' ' j Wall color should be chosen with regard for the amount of light the room receives. Where there Is plenty of sunlight, a soft green Is a happy choice. In such a room a solid color-rug In a green a little darker and deeper than the walls would be- effective, with bright cblnts curtains and ono or two of the larger upholstered pieces providing the color contrast. Another Interesting treatment would be to let the rug carry tlio burden of color diversity, with a big chair or, preferably, a couch, repeating the wall green In a deep er tone. Color will do Ihe lion's share of the decorative work in a room, If It Is properly used. A charming atmosphero may be established by using Interesting color contrasts In large areas. Once this Is achieved, you need but one or two good key pieces of furniture, and tho others may bo Inexpensive. Motor fonts The smartest motor coat of tho Paris automobile shows Is of leather, lined with colorful kasha. Tt comes from tho house of Leda, which has long hud an envlablo reputation fur cnptlvatlng rain coats, and has now achieved a sim Month by Month Working Herd -Bed Soil Careful preparation of the sed bed Is very Important. Tiny seeds need, fine soil to germinal': well. Do not Httompt to work the coll hpfore It has dried out sufficiently. It should be dry enough to cru ni hil when spaded. If your soil Is lacking In humus It ran not be worked as early as whn there Is sufficient humus present. Plan lo add humus lo your soil by nuilii talning a com pout heap. Prune ItoMtl Carefully When you uncover your old rot-.es prune tlrm carefully. Cut out all dead wood or weak growths, also cut hm k si) of Itod year's fifcowth a third or half. The more hVTPly you prune the better quality flowers you will have. Climbing ruses must riot be pruned till after blooming. Pol rib on Lily Planting In planting lilies remember that they need deep soil preparation, good drainage, no manure and, probably most Important of all, they must be planted at the pro ilar, success with r motor apparel. Under the mugfe fingers of tho French couturiers, tho prosaic motor coat has suddenly become Invested with chic and flair. The Leda achievement Is made of the softest and most supple lambskin. There Is no bulk to It. for In addi tion to the softness of the leather, tho diagonal seamlngs servo to ex aggerate the slim silhouette. ' The lining of the coat, as wen as the scurf collar, is of kasha sporting a gray design ot blue, ! green and yellow against a natural background. The color of the leather la supposed to match with milady's car. - Early Spring Fashions Tho early spring fashions aro summed up "for. the ordinary wo man' In 100 words by Jane War ren Wells of Farm and Flrosldo Muguzlne. Hh says: Color emphasis on blue and blHck. - y ports materials Increasingly popular. Wovon designs in silk take pre cedence over printed designs and silhouettes will be tailored and simple. The best fabrics are made of fine yarn, no matter whether ma terial Is silk, wool, cotton or linen. Materials aro all a llttlo finer In type, more closely woven, anu lighter In weight than before. Considerable stitching ls'used to decorate plain fabrics. Buttons and buttonholes, as well as pockets are seen. V-npcks and tlo bows finish most dresses. Pleats arc used In all fabrics. Belts fasten In the center front and arc tighter, With the Flowers per depth, sdvinfs the March American Home. . Here's a list of flvo kinds for spring planting and after each one Is given the right di'pth to plmit: Regal, nine Inches; Autatiim, twelve Inches: Hpeclo Kunt, ten or twelve; Henry I. ten Inches; Tlger( eight Inches. For Heat ttime Bmditu Dormant rose bushes, planted early will give you the best results. When you purchase rose bushes It Is seldom they aro pruned bae.k enough. Thy should havo from four to six buds snd be no pruned that the dram-he will grow out In stead of In toward the center. Be sure that ttipy are 0inted deep enough, Thet graft or bud should be an inch below the surraco. HM-lttg (Vind PluiitJiun Do not make the mistake of planting all of your Glads at one time.

Will you please tell mo how to hang, or rather mount and hang a large wall hanging? Airs. T. O. C, Answer. A -wrought Iron rod. with iron rings, Is ono of the most satisfactory wuys. 'Do not tack H to the wal, as it sags between the tacks and gets out of shape. There should be some stiff support at both tup and bottom. An Inex pensive mounting Is a strip uf pic ture moulding. . . ' Query. Is glazed chintz a suit able material fur living room draperies? Mrs. .W. II. L. Answer. Glazed chintz Js better for bedrooms and dining rooms, and should be lined. ' Query. How and whero should black be used In homo furnisli lngHV Mrs. H. D. S. AnHwer. Black 1h an accenting color und makes almost all' other colors appear brighter and more IntereHting when placed closo to it. But black, like all other accenting colors, should be used In small and Interestingly shaped sections only. Query. Should wall' 'paper be put on In panels und do you rec ommend paper rath re than kalso mine? Mrs. W. T. W. Answer. Many otherwise unin teresting rooms are greatly Im proved by panelling, while infor mal rooms, especially If small, are better papered plain without pan els. Fapered walls are softer and moro interesting as backgrounds for people and furniture than kal- somlned walls. Besides, thoy need fewer pictures. x;-s-..-;j Query. Are velour draperies being used now? Mrs. V. W. Answer. Yes, they are very good In the more format type of home or small Spanish houses. . New Place for Shelved- 'j Attractive and unusual Is the j use of a double hanging shelf to ! fill the wall space above a bed. An I unpalnted one may be bought for a song and painted to match the bedroom woodwork or to repeat a note of the room's color scheme, A colored pot .filled with green Ivy might be set on the shelf to lend additional interest. If the bed is very wide tt Is a good idea to hang two smull pictures, ut different levels, one on each sido of the molt. 4 Keep Sun From Hodges Do you k now why evergreens und boxwood show spots of brown In the spring? It is because the hot suns of March and April strike them before the sap starts to run The best protection for evergreens Is to erect a wall of boards on the side where the sun shines and for Doxwooa, tioin specimen ana hedges, drlvo strong stakes In the ground and stretch burlap roof like to the ground, leaving an air space between tho plants and the burlap. Theso plants are vuluablo and you should care for them to the best of your ability. HirSBAN'OS VAST KKKf PACK WITH WIVF . "I'm nut a tired business mun.

Whether you hundle pick or wheelbarrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a news paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work.

There are young men who do not work, but the country Is not proud of Ihem. It does not even know tlmlr names; It only speaks of them as old 8o-and-8o's boys.
