Gardening Time

From every side now, we hear the
cry of. Use More Green Vegetables
The research work conducted by DR..
E. V. McCullem has proven beyond a
doubt that the eating of large
amounts OF green vegetables is a
great aid to health.
Now is the time to plan the gar
den and prepare for continuous
supply of vegetables, not only this
summer, but by canning and drying
the surplus throughout the whole
year. Every home plot should con-
tain the following vegetables; Let
tuce, radishes, carrots, onions, beets,
parsley, spinach. cauliflower and cab
bage. Later about April, such vege-
tables as Lima Beans, string beans,
corn squash and tomatoes should be
added.

planting, cultivation and insect con-

The condition of Mrs. Gladys Pres

theater, who was badly burned and

by Mrs. Nell Goodman Rolader, was
reported Thursday morning as still

physicians at Gadry hospital. where
the young woman is confined, that
the sight of the right eye may be
saved.

day that they fear pneumonia as
result of the closed pores in the face
and neck of Mrs. Pesnell. 1t is con,

physicians that the sight of the lett
eve cannot be saved and that the
scars from the burns cannot be re-
moved.
