A garden south or west Of the
house gets more protection from cold
winds, and better sunlight. Any kind
of soil with proper handling will make
good gardens. Place the rows SO that
they get as much spacing as possible

proper spacing and placing of seeds
Plan the crops SO that the soil Is
working all summer. The time to
plant depends upon the date of the
last frosts, which Is not always re-
liable, but many Of our vegetables like
lettuce, radishes, turnips, spinach and
parsley are not afraid Of little cool
weather.
Where one has space for corn, II
must be planted after all frost dan

Violet Rays Employed
to Fight Common Colds

Experiments covering two years at
Cornell university seem to indicate
that the prevalence of the common
cold may be reduced by 40 per cent
by the use of the violet ray. The
medical director of the institution
said:
"In 1925 and 1927 there was not
one of the normal students had colds,
but among the cold-susceptible stu
dents there We're weeks when as high
us GO per cent had colds. For two
years we have irradiated cold-sus-
ceptible students through the dark,
cold period of the year with ultra
violet lenses over the entire skin sur
face from ten to fifteen minutes once
q week.
"This ten to fifteen-minute irradi-
alton of the entire surface of the
body is equivalent to whole weeks
sunlight in the summer with only the
face, neck and hands exposed. On
that basis we got reduction in cold
incidence of 40 per cent"

THESE days one hears much about
milk. Little Is said about milk
bottles. However, this fact does not
diminish the necessity of proper care
of the latter, particularly in summer
and in families In which there are
infants and small children In fact.
too much care cannot be given this
matter.
OF course. in every properly super
vised dairy the milk Is carefully pas
teurized and the bottles sterilized be-
fore the milk is poured into them. Or.
If the raw product Is sold, sufficient
safeguards, In the form of the tuber

have been erected.
Nevertheless, one should not forget
that the container must be handled
after II leaves the plant. And that
in the majority Of instances II will
repose for some time on the door
step or porch where IT will be acces
sible to dirt, dust, and, in season, to
flies.
II follows that milk bottles should
be taken inside as soon as possible
and the outside of them, including the
tops, be thoroughly cleansed before
being placed In the refrigerator.
The same rule holds good for all
foods to be eaten raw. The sense of
this suggestion becomes apparent to
anyone who visits a daily or semi
weekly market. Apples, peaches. to-
matoes. lettuce and similar provender
are subjected to much unnecessary
handling by all sorts and conditions
of people. not to mention the sprays
from coughs and sneezes that are
likely to find their destination OF such
articles. Aside from the diseuse
spreading possibilities. ordinary clean
Illness demands that such food shonld
be thoroughly washed before being
placed In the ice box.
Again, an unwarranted sense OF Sc
curity Is likely TO be developed be
cause foods have been refrigerated
Meats, fruits or vegetables that are
even slightly "off'' should he promptly
consigned to the garbage pail. Avoid
getting spoiled by spoiled foods.

Explaining Symbol of
the Lemon at Funerals


The mystery of the use of lemons
at funerals has been solved. The Gus
tom attracted attention when q spec
tacular funeral of one of the members
of the Hamburger Zinmerleute, a
fraternal society OF North German
travelling carpenters and artisans. took
place. Fifteen thousand carpenters
who were members of the society at
tended the funeral. Each carried
glittering Ratchet, upon which was
spitted lemon. After the reading
of the burial service the Zimrnerleute
filed past the open grave and heaped
the lemons over the coffin. says a
Berlin correspondence.
In Zurich recently another funeral
was held along similar lines.
At the close the leader Of the
mourners threw the first lemon into
the grave, saying:
"As sour as Is this lemon. so harsh
has been your life
Research workers who investigated
the custom explain that when one ut
tile great plaques swept Europe II was
considered that the Juice Of lemon
provided some protection from infec-
tion resulting from contact with a
plague victim.
Those employed in bury!ng the dead
used the Juice Of lemons freely
Now. so far as Is known. only the

Pork spareribs are one OF the less
expensive meat cuts which can be
made most appetizing If carefully pre-
pared. A stufing containing tart ap-
pies adds greatly to the flavor and
piquancy of the dish.
The meat, like any cut of pork, must
be well done without being dry. After
browning spareribs quickly in hot
oven, reduce the temperature and cook
slowly at moderate heat until tender.
Do not add water. The full directions
given by the bureau of home economics
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture follow:

Select well-feshed rib sections that
match. Have the breast bone cracked
so that it will be easy to carve be-
tween the ribs. Wipe the meat with a
damp cloth. Prepare the stuffing as
follows: Fry the salt pork until crisp
and remove the pieces from the skill
let. Cook the celery, onion, and

Island. to Meet Planea

Concrete islands" that may be
noated to meet planes crossing the
ocean are possible, according to
Charles de Frassee, French In
ventor, whose model of the novel
"seaports" was recently exhibited by
the Chamber of Commerce Of France.
De Frnssee says that his Islands
would be seaworthy enough to take
up stations as halfway stops in trans
ocennic flights. Planes would land
on them for refuellng and take Off
with the aid Of catapults similar to
those now used for launching planes
from ships. The Islands would have
hangers and living quarters for per-
manent crews of mechanics, and two
giant $500 horse power motors would
propel them to their locations.

tatoes, prepared as below:
CandIed Sweet Potatoes.
Boil six medium-sized sweet pota-
toes until they are fairly tender, but
not done. Allow the potatoes to cool,
skin them, and cut them lengthwise in
| halves. Arrange the pieces in one
layer, in buttered baking dishes or a
shallow, pan, and do not pack them
close together. Boil one cupful Of corn
strip or maple strip, one-half cupful
Of brown sugar, three tablespoonful
Of butter, and one-fourth teaspoonful
salt until slightly thickened. Pour the

Excellent Change in the
Way of Green Vegetable

Who ever heard of cooking lettuce?
The bureau Of home economics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, among others interested in
trying out new ways with familiar
foods. Braised lettuce, preferably of
the iceberg type, is an excellent change
in the way of green vegetable. The
suggestion Of bacon flavor given by
using bacon fat makes the lettuce es-
pecially tasty. Here's how It's pre-
pared:
2 large hard heads tbs bacon fat
Iceberg lettuce Salt
Pepper
Out each head of lettuce into four
pieces, taking care that a portion of
the center stem is left on each sec
ton to hold the leaves together. Heat
the fat in large skillet, put in the
lettuce, cover, and cook for 30 min
utes. or until the lettuce is tender.
If much liquid is drawn out Of the let
tuce, discard some of it during cook
ing. Turn carefully If necessary.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and
serve on hot platter.

baking dish, add layer Of the bacon
and vegetable mixture, half cupful
of cheese, seasoning to taste and re

soup, stirring it in lightly with fork
and bake until thoroughly heated
through.

half tablespoonfuls of butter, add
eight tablespoonfuls of milk, eight
eggs-but do not beat. Slip into the
pan with the butter and milk and stir
with fork. When creamy add sea-
soning and tablespoonful of phos
phate baking powder. The eggs will
puff up and make much more at
tractive and digestible dish.
Lamb chops.-Take the chops cut
from the leg. Brown nicely on both
sides, season well and put into deep
Scotch kettle or heavy aluminium
kettle. Over the layer Of chops place
a layer of thinly sliced uncooked pc.
tatoes, a little sliced onion, salt and
pepper to season. Repeat until the

cupful and a half of water in the pan
in which the meat was Drowned and
pour it over the vegetables and chops
in the kettle. Cover and cook slowly
for two hours. Pile on a platter or
| chop plate and serve garnished with
turnip cups filled with green buttered
peas.
To make the turnip cups, cook them
in boiling sailed water, using small,
even-sized turnips and scoop out the
centers for the buttered peas.
Now is the time to be looking up
the garden seeds and getting the herb
garden started. Have small row Of
chervil, fennel, summer savory sage,
parsley and mint. They need little
care and will be JOY forever during
the season.
Wild mustard is far more delicate
and mild than the kind we use. as a
rule. Dry the flowers and powder
