sive and intelligent. Naturally
there has been some change in
things as time has gone on. l
would like to quote from the NeW
York state Journal of Medicine
as follows:
"You Will never operate under
a carbolic acid shower doctor
Lister, who introduced a~ntisepsis,
did that and surgeons followed the
practice for many years. "You
will probably v carry a ca
theter in the swaziland Of your
hat. You will never see tan bark
on the streets around hospitals to
prevent noise or bales Of oakum
and peat moss in hospital corri-
doris to be used as over-dresslng
for infected wounds. You will
probably never see 100 cases of
typhoid in a row or 5 in one family
die of d%iphtheria in one and one
half hours" (Forty years ago ty-
phoid and diphtheria we're among
the commonest of diseases and we
were then just beginning to learn
to prevent them. Now they r
things of the past.)

There is no need to make your home lot unsightly because of a De- fense Garden. Tn fact there is much real beauty in ordered rows of vari- colored green, whether they are of onions, turnips, or some of the bril- liant annuals, such as asters, or zinnias. A combination of the two is most satisfactory and all 1t needs Is a little planning this time of the year.
 A glance at the Illustration will show you what can be done without much effort. Here the garden has been divided up into beds combining vegetables and flowers, with bound- aries of the larger blooms. They are separated by walks of green lawn, which might easily be made of fiagstone and actually add to the beauty of the landscape. Rows of annuals could be planted alternate ly with the vegetables, and @ bor- der of alyssun, lobelia, or the sig nata pumila marigold ct the edge of the walks, might give added beauty and finish.
 This alliance of flowers with veg etables Is an old world custom of long tradition, practiced extensively in England and Germany, and par ticularly suited to the city gardener whose limited space does not permit of too extensive planting. Many of the vegetables of ornamental foli- age actually vie with the flowers in attractive display. Such are pars- ley, carrots, swiss chard, and that useful herb, sage. the gray-green shoots and blooms of which are as

stunning as many of the subjects in the flower garden.
 As few or as many flowers aa wanted can be put in the vegetable garden in this manner. Straight rows, a definite design, back ground of stately delphiniums, or hollyyhocks, and simple edging are all that is necessary to make the garden attractive. A lattice fence with towering vines, 8 few berry bushes in the far corners, and a smooth velvet lawn all add to your garden layout.
 By all means make definite plan for your garden this season. Get out pencil and paper, draw little outline of your available space, and then begin to plan just what flow CTS and vegetables you want and where to put them. Centaureas. asters, calendulas, scabiosas, ten weeks stocks and other annuals of compact and upright growth are ex- cellent for this type of planting. Wide spreading flowers will ont ap- pear at their best here. ..
 A vegetable and flower garden set- ting out in the center of the lawn is attractive. or 1t may be moved farther back and encased with lattice fence, a low hedge or shrub bery. Every home has its own prob lem, and no matter how large or small your back lot may happen to be, there is room enough for beau- tiful garden. Make plans now so that you may have your seed in hand when the planting season comes in just 8 few weeks.
