My first cousin and I are in love
with each other. Is it wise for us to
marry or shall we give each other
up and be miserable apart? E.
1t is not considered wise for first
cousins to marry, because family
traits are apt to be intensified in
the children of such marriage, and,
in some cases, this proves dis
astrous. You will have to decide
for yourself whether you care to
run this risk or not. In some states
first cousins are prohibited by law
from marrying.

If you started a home garden last
season, how about making it a per
manent food producer?
A bed of asparagus is known to
have given continuous service for
more than thirty years, and aspara-
gus lis one of the first of the spring
vegetables. A row Of blackbe1rles
along a garden fence has produced
abundant crops for twelve success
sive years. A few hills of rhubarb
have provided delicious sauce and
helped with the making of pies
season after season, with very lit
tie cost or attention. Strawberries
require more care, but they furnish
the first ripe fruit in the springtirne,
and very small plot of ground in
one corner of the garden will supply
the family.
Put into a home. garden a little
money, knowledge gained from com
petCnt advice and your spare time.
Draw from it an insight into the
workings of nature, heaIthful exerclH,,
and reduction in your food bills.
A home garden is a good thing 10
