FRIEND OR HUSBAND?
By BETTY vINCENT

V,1..
 Ihere is a whole lot to be said about the single girl who has n married girl pal. "
 Two single girls can devote them- selves to each other at moments notice. They can plan dates f,r ahead and keep them; they can he almost Inseparable. and they can be as carefree and unconcerned ahont time as the birds of the air.
 But when a single girl and a mar daeta,I rsea girl pal together there are made and the thinking single girl will respect them.
 Won't you please write some thing about the girl who is not married and who believes that the married woman should have the same freedom as she?' writes young with each day. She thinks 1t is shame that I would rather spend the evenings with my husband than to attenc concerts. theatre parties, etc., with her where only women are asked. She also believes that I skating and swimming with her,
 My husband does not neglect ma for. other interests. On his lodge night he sees that I have company or seats to show and does not for moment think of me spending my CNCHlIS dioHt. OI course l can 20 skating and swimming on those nights. but there are only two of such each month.
 "I believe there are many such single girls trying to take their girl friends away from their hus- bands evenings and holidays. Won't you please write them up strong so they can see our side?H
 The newly married man also has to shake number of old pals, He the stiily hours, go to his club or run around with Jack and Bill. as he did in tho days of his bache- lorhood. It is. therefore, up to every girl to realize that even though she see ms to be losing many concerts and all girl" parties her husband is also obliged to give up beefsteak dinners and many a stag party.
 The single girl will continue 70 tag her newly married pal as long as she has the least bit of encour- agement It is quite natural that she should. She will expect to run in Iefore breakfast on her way to work just as hubby is about to kiss wifey goodby; she will come in before the dinner dishes are done and expect hubby to finish them up Wfile the two run off to a wom- ans club to smoke cigarettes, but the sensible Mrs. Newlywed will put a stop to this at once. She will just take Bessie Bachelor aside and whisper Get married yourself Bes- sic, and then we'll run around to- gether when our husbands are at their. lodges"

LOOK YOUR BEST
ny DORIS DOsCHER

Dear Miss Doscher: I am girl IT years old and weigh 104 pounds l am feet II inches tall. Is my height correct for my age?
 MARY G.
 You are under height for your age and overweight for your height. At II you should be~yefy active in out door sports. -.This will develop yt UT figure along the best lines and at the same time bring your weight to normal. Exercises that stretch the spine will add Il hit to your height. Dear Miss Doscher: Will you kindly inform me how to get my nose back into shape? Somebody enc day sjok- ingly told me l had pug nose. and l pulled it until it wont out of shape. It is so big now, and it gets terribly red. especially in this weather.
 VERY ANXIOUS.
 The symptoms you described would indicate that you have actually in- jured or displaced some of the fine bony structure of the nose. My ad- Vice tc you would be to go and see a competent facial surgeon, as it would be very difficult for you to remedy the condition by yourself.

DREAMS OF BUSINESS

Dreams of business naturally oc- cur more often in the visions of men than in those of women. Still. many of the latter, especially girls who go to work, or those of maturer age, have such dreams, and the mean- inss are the same for both sexes.
 One rule must be laid down at the very beginning: The interpretations I am about to give apply only when no money is seen In the dream. Just IS soon as bills or coins figure in the vision, the dream must be classed as one of money and not of business. However if money is merely men tioned. the business dream interpre- tations hold good.
 To dream of having made good bargain in general way is usually sign of deep disappointment in business. It may mean the loss of job or the loss of an opportunity to make money, or the blasting of a high hope.
 On the other hand, if you dream that bargain you hoped for does not come your way. then you may rest assured that you will participate in a very profitable undertaking.
 A dream to the effect that you have sold house is a sign of buy ing one: If you already own one. you will probably sell it to buy an other and better.
 If you dream of buying a house. you will move from wherever you are living at the present moment More than likely, you will also change your occupation.
 If your dream tells you that you have entered business-providin s that, in fact, you are merely em- ployed or not even working. you will be singled out for very important work and will make a great success of it.
 But if you dream that you are try ing to enter business and are being prevented from doing so, then you will actually do so but register a failure

Your Home and You
By HELEN KENDALL
By HELEN KENDALL WINDOW SEED BOXES


 About the middle of March. if you wish to have an y-bloominE. flower garden this summer, start seed bed in your sunny south window. There is a joy in watching these little pale green sprigs start up indoors with their promise of splen- did blossoms later, that will com pensate you for the chilly days just preceding the coming of spring.
 Get couple of flats" from To- cal florist and fill them with rich soil that has been run through a fine sieve until it is pulverized. The earth should be four inches deep. Make little troughs for the seeds by pressing down the wide end of ruler in the soil Then shake the seeds gently into the grooves. If the seeds are large ones, such as zinnas, hollyhocks, marigolds and the like, put them in about half an inch deep. Smaller seeds go just under the surface, the earth being gently showed back over them from the sides of the little trough. Very small seeds are scattered over the surface and pressed down with book or bit of board.
 Keep the boxes damp but not wet. Have holes beneath for drainage, and lay panes of glass over the top for few days until the green shoots begin to come through. After that lay thin sheet of paper over them while the sun is hot upon them. Keep turning the boxes around so that the shoots will grow straight. Put lit- tie tags at the head of the different rows. so that you will know which Is which.
 Just as soon as the warm weather is settled, these seedlings may be transplanted into the open bed. Have them very damp when they are to be moved, and keep them covered from the sun until they take hold of the soil. They will be all the stronger for having been started in- doors, and will grow rapidly.
 Some of the seeds that do their best when started in the window are asters, snapdragons. corn-flowers. cosmos. zinnias, larkspur. agertum. marigolds and nicotiana. Don't plant peoples indoors or try to transplant them. as they will not survive the move. Sow the seed outdoors after danger of frost is over, and thin out the weakest shoots. Candytuft and mignonette also do better when planted in the open.

 "Yes. and the doctor has asked him to take a vacation as soon as you are ready to take it with him."
 ''He has promised to?' - "Unfortunately, no; yet he has said that perhaps he will go away for awhile.'
 The pair were by themselves for a moment-teachers and guests having passed out on the broad veranda overlooking the river. The girl was slender and fair. Her companion, 15 years her senior, was tall and dark, with hair slightly grizzled at the temples. They made handsome pie ture as they stood at the foot of the wide mahogany staircase.

Exhaust From Gasoline En-
CINE Will Destroy Them.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Are you troubled with rats, espe-
cially around the chicken house,
garage, barn, or vegetable farm!
Fasten a length of hose on the end
of the exhaust from your gasoline en-
gine-whether it be a 'fivver" or a
tractor-back the car up within reach
of the rat burrow, and adjust the car
buretor for q rich mixture. Pack damp
Garth around the hose at the entrance
to the hole to seal it. Run the engine
at a moderate speed for ten minutes
or more and the rats will be destroyed.
This method is entirely practical, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, when there are
only a small number Of holes or the
area to be fumigated Is not too ex-
tensive. 1t may also be used success
fully in destroying rats beneath floors
or in other places where concentra-
ton of the gas can be obtained.
Community effort is urged in getting
rid of rats by the above means and
also by cleaning up rubbish, spreading
poison bats, setting traps, and rat
proofing buildings. Individual prop
critics from which rats are extermi-
mated soon become reinfested if there
are rats in the neighborhood. The

Cabbage Maggot Attacks
Prevented by Tar Paper

Cabbages and related crops are gen.
orally badly attacked by the cabbage
maggot, which gnaws off the outer
surface of roots and bores into the
larger ones and finally into the lower
part of the stalk. BY looking closely
at young cabbage plants, near the
ground level, the little white eggs may
be seen. If the eggs are exposed to
the sun they will dry up and not
hatch.
The attack, however, is generally
prevented by the use of squares or
disks of tarred felt paper placed
around the plants when set out, there
fore preventing the egg laying of the
fly. Common tarred paper generally
curls up under the heat of the sun,
but tarred felt paper will not.
Three-inch square OF five-sided pads
may be cut and slit from the center to
corner or side of pad. Several short
Sits like a star should be made at the
center to allow close fitting around
the plant. The squares should be
placed around the plants when first
set out, being careful to press closely
around the stem and down against the
ground. This paper must fit tightly
around the stem.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

Loss of S12,520 Caused by
Single Plant.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture-)
"Not only can one barberry bush
cause loss of $4,000 in single year,
but it produces seeds from which more
bushes grow" says DIR. e. G. Stakman
of the United States Department of
Agriculture "Still there are those in
the United States who think barberry
eradication either impossible or use
less"
A single bush can cause extensive
loss, and there is at least one instance
on record where loss of S12,52O was
caused by one bush. A special study
to determine the extent of infection
and loss from a single bush was made
by one of the state leaders of bar
berry eradication. The outbreak OF
stem rust which started from known
bush travelled in one direction, at least,
for about five miles. The total wheat
area affected on Is different farms
was 963 acres. An average yield OF
only 81 bushels per acre was obtained,
while it was estimated that had there
been no loss from rust infection the
average yield would have been 21.4
bushels. The average yield for that
year was only 81 per cent of what it
would have been without the black
stem rust, or a total loss in yield of
1880 bushels. At a dollar bushel
the combined money loss from this
single bush in-this one direction was
49, $50 or an average loss to each
farmer of S696 worth of wheat.
The barberry has destroyed too
much grain in the past, says the United
