And often It seems that the more

Several persons have spoken to us
recently Of this, that the. longer time

Probably that Is the trouble. that We

cars, would not be regarded as very
good performers.
The world does, indeed. want son1e-
thing to be evident for certain numbers
OF hours Of labor, and, with It's usual
human sl1rewdness, the world Is en-
tirely right about this.
A garden, however. Is one place where
these ordinary rules Of performance ana
results do not hold true.
At least, they do not hold entirely
true.

The amateur gardener cannot expect

because In the vast majority OF cases

Most hcme owners, therefore, must
be content to gain only an approuma- :

that at the same time we claim that
this approximation may be both beau-

that IL Is not a severe taskmaster, al

Something Missed.
There was Q man who learned the way
A lot Of things to do.
He labored earnestly by day
And oft the whole night through.
The lessons that In life abound
He struggled to disclose.
But in his search he never found
The secret Of repose.
He spoke and read in many q tongue,
And many tome he'd lift.
In gratitude his praise was sung
Each year for some new gift.
And yet his life was often sad.
While humber folk seemed blest.
With all the knowledge that he had

surprising that Andre Maurois, Lytton
Strachey or sGamaliel Bradford has
not given, us e dramatic treatment of
them. G. e. Vulliamy, in his Vol
taire," gives superficial picture Of the
arrogant, cynical fearless philosopher
OF Ferney and Paris. !. The later years,
Mr.. Vulliamy dwells at greatest length.
Voltatre's relations with Frederick the
Great Of Prussia are also very fully
treated. The quarrels Of the King and
his philosopher friend make interesting
reading, II we do not much admire
either of the two ScombatAnts In their
irritability. Voltaire appears at his
best when defending, IN the cause of

Fatigue is the signal to rest. Obey
it if you can. When you can't, keep
cool and carry-on in comfort.
Bayer Aspirin was meant for
just such times, for it insures your
comfort. Freedom from those pains
that nag at nerves and wear you
down. One tablet will block that
threatening headache while it is
still just a threat. Take two or
three tablets when you've caught a
cold, and that's usually the end
of it.
Garry Bayer Aspirin when you
travel. Have some at home and
keep some at the office. Like an
efficient secretary, it will often
save the day. and spare you many
uncomfortable, unproductive hours.
Perfectly harmless, so keep it
handy, keep it in mind, and use it.
No man of affairs can afford to
ignore the score and more of uses
explained in the proven directions.
From a grumbling tooth to those
rheumatic pains which seem almost
to bend the bones, Bayer Aspirin
is ready with its quick relief-and
always works. Neuralgia. Neuritis.
Any nagging. needless pain.

THE WORST Of it was that it didn't

tucked it in the bag. Then she went
to the door and called across the liv-

back on something big forever.

Hang it, mol" he cried back. why

He had been going to say, why the
devil didn't you tell me sooner?" but
he had stopped himself. And as she sat
down before the dressing table to put
on her new hat she realized that he
would never swear at her any more.
She tried to imagine Bill as always
polite and failed. But the fact that
he would be held a pang concealed in
it somewhere, only, curiously, she
couldn't feel it. She couldn't feel it
but she knew it was there; just as
everything in their attractive five room
apartment seemed the same, was the
same, and yet suddenly was like an
apartment she had never seen before.
She paused with a finger lifted tc
tuck in a chestnut curl and looked
around at her bedroom. 1t was the
same. The MONDAY sunlight was re-
Elected upon the wall in that eerie pat
tern which the street lamp threw there
at night. At first it had seemed ghostly
and frightening to her, but Bill had
made her keep looking at it until II
had lost its scary outlines.
Here was the four-poster they hac
found in a tearoom attic two years ago
when Bill had taken his vacation fol

bio help to BOWELS

What a JOY to have the bowels move
like clockwork, every dayl It's easy, if
you mind these simple rules Of a famous
old doctor:
l. Drink a big tumblerful of water
before breakfast, and several times
a day.
2. Get plenty Of outdoor exercise with
out unduly fatiguing yourself.
3. Try for a bowel movement at
exactly the same hour every day.
Everyone's bowels need help at times,
but the thing to use is DR.. Caldwells'
Syrup Pepsin. You'll get a thorough
cleaning-out, and it won't leave your
insides weak and watery. This family
doctors prescription is just fresh laxa-
tive herbs, pure pepsin, and other helpful
ingredients that couldn't hurt a child.
But how it wakes up those lazy bowelsl
How good you feel with your system rid
