A GOOD NECK LINE

There is one little suggestion that should like to give today for the office worker who finds her back aches after sitting too long at a desk.
 All girls who work in offices, un- less they take a good deal of exercise, or unless they are particularly strong. discover that after a little time they begin to grow round shou1dered, and the head instead of being held straight is unconsciously held some- what forward. This means that the chin droops, bringing on a double chin early in life, and that the sensitive lit tie bone at the back of the neck be- tween the shoulders stands out with too much prominence. Of course all this spells the neck line and the chin line.
 A splendid little exercise to correct this is to straighten up from the work now and then, clasp the hands back of the neck and Straighten and stiffen the spine. If you do this now and then during the day you will avoid many a backache and many hours of feeling dragged-out after you have finished your work.
 This suggestion is valuable for the woman who does her own work at home, as well as for the girl en- ployed in an office. What it does is to draw up the muscles of the stom- ach and abdomen, to raise the chest hold back the shoulders and throw the head and neck into proper posi- tion. This is one of the most beauti- fully restful exercises that I can rec pmmend. Try it and see whether you do not feel much better for it.

When set In the spring, cabbage
seed should be started in hotbed or
greenhouse in February and in the
open ground az soon as the soil can be
worked. For late crop in the North,
plant the seeds in bed in the open
ground in May or June, and transplant
in the garden in July. Early cabbages
require rich, warm soil in order that
they may mature early. For late cab
bages, the soil should be heavier and
more retentive Of moisture and not so
rich as for the early crop. as the heads
are liable to burst. Cabbages should be
set in rows 80 to SO inches apart and
IA to 18 inches apart in the row. Early
cabbages must be used soon after they
have formed solid heads, as they will
not keep during hot weather. They
can, however, be used for making
sauerkraut.

Caulifiower requires a rich, moist

be tied together over the heads In
order to exclude the light and keep the

Brussels Sprouts.
Brussels sprouts are closely. related
to cabbage and caulif1ower, and may
be grown in the same manner. In
stead Of single head, brussels sprouts
form large number Of small heads
In the axis of the leaves. AS the
heads begin to crowd the leaves should
be broken from the stem of the plant,
to give them more room. A few
leaves should be left at the top Of the
stem, where the new heads are being
formed. Brussels sprouts are more
hardy than cabbage, and in mild cli-
mates may remain In the open ground
all winter, the heads being removed
as desired. For winter use in cold
localities, take up plants that are we'll
laden with heads and set them close
together in pit, coldframe or cellar,
with little soil around the roots.
The uses Of brussels sprouts are
similar to those Of cabbage, but they
are considered of superior flavor.

Onions may be grown either from
sets or from seed. The greater part
Of the commercial onion crop Is grown
from seed, but the usual method Of
planting onions in the garden is by
use Of sets. One quart Of sets will
plant from rs to 125 feet Of row with
the plants 4 inches apart in the row |;
this depends, however, upon the size
Of the sets. Onion sets should be
placed In small furrow, root-end

about 11s inches unless the soil is ex-
tremely heavy, In which cage they
should not be covered 80 deeply. Onion
sets may be planted Just % early In
