not have already grown high
enough to smother the young
plants. The plants will grow
properly and not become spindly
and weak. With the right amount
of care and attention the plants
can thus be brought to sufficient
size and healthy growth, whereby
all unfavorable weather conditions
will be withstood.
Necessary Steps in the Garden
Planning
First the selection of the
ground or plot to be used as
garden. See that it will have the
right kind of a slant to insure
good drainage; if not the soil will
become soggy and sour, and the
cultivation will be made harder
and the plants will not do so well.
Add street dirt, manure or ferti-
lizer to insure the proper amount
of food for the plants. 1t is ad-
visable to spread light layer of
hydrated lime on the surface Of
the garden prior to planting.
Street dirt, manure, bone meal or
acid phosphate, and nitrate of
soda are all good additions to the
soil.
MANY cannot afford hotbeds
for the early planting of seed. A
good plan in place of them would
be to have flats or boxes about AZ
to 6 inches deep, using a good
loose soil as the seed bed. When
/ the seed are planted the boxes
should be placed on a window sill
where there is plenty of sunshine
One will be surprised at the great
amount of vegetation that can be
grown in a few of these boxes
Try it. When the seed germinate
and the plants are fairly on theil
way of growth, water carefully
Be sure not to water too much MOI
too little. When dry give a thor
ough watering, and do not water
again until the surface is agar
dry.
Get busy, clean up your plot
spread manure or fertilizer ant
start your early seed in you
homes. The benefits derived will
more than repay you. You vii
get a good amount Of pleasure by
doing the Little Things" ant
watch them mature and grow
Get a start, lead, and the othe,
fellow is sure to follow you"

Life is to be reckoned not by

analysis, a life is measured by its
purposes. 1t cannot rise higher

BABY'S FIRST MONTH
Part Four

baDy room SnOuIu De hepL
darkened for the first few days
because bright light has a very
bad effect on his eyes. The room
should be we'll ventilated, a good
plan being to lower the windows
about six inches from the top, thus
allowing free circulation of air
and at the same time avoiding
drafts which are of course very
harmful.
The temperature of the room
should be from go to TO- F. This
should be kept constant. Very dry
air should be kept moist with
small pan Of water.
1t is we'll, if possible, for the
room to have a south or south
west exposure. Awnings for the
summer are very desirable.
1t is a very good thing for the
badly to be out of doors part of
the day. This should be begun as
soon as he is three weeks to a
month old, except on the very cold
est days. Care should be taken
not to place him in the direct sun
light. He must be out for a very
short time at first, probably not
more than 20 minutes in the middle
of the day. This time should be
gradually heightened until he is
out about four hours a day, from
ten until two.
If your baby appears to have
a cold at birth, if his nose runs
or he snuffles a great deal, con-
suit a doctor at once. 1t may be
a symptom of very serious di-
sease.
A healthy baby for the first
few months of his life sleeps at
least twenty out Of tn etwenty-
four hours. He requires this much
| and if he does not get it his health
will be impaired.
| Crying during the hours when
he should be asleep indicates eth.
er that he is hungry, or is in pain
or has a wet diaper, and he should
be attended to at once. The low,
| ing mother will soon learn to dis
tinguish the various cries and bt
able to tell at once just what i!
wrong.
Never, never give the baby an,
soothing syrups to make him sleep
They all contain some Harmful
drug, which in the hands Of tn
inexperienced are very dangerous
If your baby cries great deal AM
does not get his required sleer
: go to see doctor about him an,
do not try giving medicine with
= out advice.
Another "never" is: do not a.
, low your baby to suck a pacifier-
r or nipple-except when he
feeding. These not only give ris
to much indigestion in infants
but they are likely to cause
: serious and permanent deformit
of the jaws. Protruding teeth al
e frequently caused by allowing
baby to such a pacifier or nippl
!, and once the damage is done it
not only very hard, and sometime
impossible to have remedied, but
II is very expensive.
When asleep the baby shoul

For The
Homemaker's Eye
To C0Ok Vegetables

In the cooking of vegetables
there are a few things to remem-
ber. first to retain all the mineral
matter and nutriment possible, to
soften the cellulose and to develop
the flavor, making them more pala-
table.
Spinach cooked properly should
be well washed and cooked without
the addition Of water, or very
little. This vegetable, being rich in
iron, which is soluble in water, may
by being cooked in a large amount
of wafer be nearly vaIuclcs, as a
food. This is true Of satisfy, @r2nn
peas and beans, or, in fact, any of
the dclicat"ly favored, SUccUlent
vegetables. The seasoning is an
other important item; the flavor
should never be disguised by seas,
onine. Usually butter, pepper and
salt, not too much. is the best be.
cause it is the plainest.
To accomplish these results one
may use several methods; cook the
vegetable whole or in large pieces
to cook with the skin on when pos
sible. to cook in as small an amOun
of water as possible, and to season
after the vegetable has started
cooking 50 that the salt does no
draw out the flavor.

and add one cupful each of bread
crumbs and boiling water with two
beaten eggs, One-quarter of a tea
spoonful Of paprika: Mix well,
turn into a buttered bread pan and
cook in a slow oven for an hour and
a half. If preferred, the loaf may
be steamed for two hours. Cool,
chill and slice. A little ham can
be extended to serve a number Of
persons when cooked in this way.
Hot Pot of Mutton and Barley
One pound mutton, one-half cup
pearled barley, one tablespoon salt,
four potatoes, three onions, celery
tops or other seasoning herbs. Cut
the mutton in small pieces, and
brown with the onion in fat cut
from meat. This will help make
the meat tender and improves the

flavor. Pour this into a covered
saucepan. Add two quarts water
and the barley. Simmer for one
and one-half hours. Then add the
potatoes cut in quarters, seasoning
herbs and seasoning, and cook one
half hour longer.

explain the situation.
"But have theory about It," said
Mr. Post II am inclined to think thar
many of these people are coming here
to get away from conditions at home
and that the condition Is only temper
airy. Only last week a ship was held
up at quarantine with typhus aboard.

PUZZLE TO SCIENCE
Origin of This Race Hangs on the
Tale of a Snail.
mystery OF Migrations Stumps Hun
bred Experts Who Are in Quest Of
PoIynesian Data.

Honolulu, T. H.-If certain varieties
OF snails In the Hawaiian islands
could talk, tell whence they started
their migrations and how they trav-
eied from one island to another In the
Pacific, the world would be close to
the solution of the origin of the Poly
nesian race. according to scientists at
tending the Pan-Pacific scientific con-
gress in session here
Upward of a hundred of the most
noted experts of most of the countries
bordering the Pacific ocean have dis
cussed the possible origin of the Poly
nesians during the sessions, and on
one point they all agree-they don't
know yet where the PoIynesians orr
ginated.
Having failed to pry any informa-
ton out of the snail. the scientists
turned to the common or garden vari-
ETY. of chicken. This useful bird Is
believed to have been domesticated by
the Polynesians about 1000 B. G. Ac-
cordng to scientific data the chicken
reached Egypt about 700 B. G. 1t is
believed to have originated In south
ern Asia, but how did it get to Poly
nesia? Another impasse.
Begonia seeds and those of about
700 other plants found In the Hawaii
an group furnished a little more infor-
nation than either the snail or the
chicken, according to the scientists
Ocean currents are said to have
brought them here. Equatorial cur
rents flowing across Central America
from the Atlantic are believed to have
forced the Pacific currents westward,
carrying driftwood and seeds. The
process of transportation and germina-
ton appears to have been fairly
lengthy, since it is estimated that per-
haps one seed arrived from the Ameri-
can continent and bore fruit within
the period of a million years.
Grasshoppers furnished their quota
to the discussion which terminated
about where It had begun in the
known facts that the POlynesian race
came out of the unknown and, being
n rapidly dying race, is fast passing
TO the uncharfed shore where It was
born.
