Don't Let Weeds Go To Seed

ical before they succumb, or a
stronger application than would
be required for lawn treatment
will force them to bow to ap-
preaching death, as illustrated.
This new method of killing
weeds is based on an entirely
different principle from that of
the caustic, or burning action of
oldtime weed killers. It actually
causes such habits of weeds that
they are no longer adapted to
their environment and therefore
die.
When you spray 2, AID on weeds,
the effects of this powerful weed
killer start to show up within "a
hours. Within a week., dead areas
appear on the woodland before
long the weed has completely
shriveled and rotted away
root and all.
Two good points about q, 4-D are
its low cost in comparison to the
areas of lawn or fence rows to
be covered, and the fact that : Is
harmless to man and beast. W

tIle PAIN 10 the swimming pool.
There was a light in the pavilion.
They were there-John and that
woman"
Henrietta made a faint sound.
Gerda's face had changed-it
had none of its usual slightly va
cant amiability. 1t was remorse-
less, implacable.
I'D trusted John. I'd believed
in him-as though he were God. l
thought he was the noblest man
in the world thought he was
everything that was fine and
noble. And it was all a lie I was
left with nothing-nothing at all.
lid worshiped John
Henrietta was gazing at her
fascinated. For here, before her
eyes, was what she had guessed
at and brought to life, carving it
out Of wood. Here was The Wor-
shipper - blind devotion thrown
back on itself, disillusioned-dan-
gerous.
Gerda said, "1 couldn't bear it!
I had to kill him! I had to-you
see that, Henrie+ta?"
She said it quite conversational.
ly, in an almost friendly tone.
"And I knew I must be careful
because the police r very cIev-
er. But then I'm not really as
stupid as people think! If you're
very slow and just stare, people
think you don't take things in
a d sometimes, underneath,
you're laughing at them! l knew
1 could kill John and nobody
would know because I'd read in
that detective story about the po-
lice being able to tell which gun
a bullet has been fired from. Sir
Henry had shown me how to load
and fire a revolver that afternoon.
I'd take two revolvers. I'd shoot
John with one and then hide it
and let people find me holding the
other and first they'd think I'd
shot him and then they'd find he
couldn't have been killed with that
revolver and so they'd say
hadn't done it after ALL"
She nodded her head trium-
phantly.
But I forgot about the leather
thing. It was in the drawer in my
bedroom. What do you call it, a
holster? Surely the police won't
bother about that now?"
"They might" said Henrietta.
"You'd better give it to me, and
I'll take it away with me. Once
it's out of your hands, you're quite
SAFE"
She sat down. She felt suddenly
lunutterly weary.
Gerda said, "You don't look
we'll. l was just making tea"
She went out Of the room. Pres

On it was a teapot, milk jug ant
two cups. The milk jug had slop'

poured out a cup of tea and hand
ed it to Henrietta.
"Oh, dear" she said, dismayed.

rietta. Go and get that holster,
Gerda."
Gerda hesitated and then went
out of the room. Henrietta leaned
forward and put her arms on the
table and her head down on them.
She was SO tired, so dreadtully
tired. But it was nearly done
now. Gerda would be safe as
John had wanted her to be safe.
She sat up, pushed the hair off
her forehead and drew the teacup
toward her. Then at a sound in

tant for a man to be proud OF
his Wife's looks than it ever was

The man who asked that ques-

how many men of his acquaint-

who, in a few short years lost
most of their attractiveness.
He reasoned-and perhaps right

are unimaginative about their
dress-just don't realize how i'm
portant their looks are to the man
they married.
When girls are out to get nus
bands, they certainly know that a
man wants to be proud of his date.
They'll spend two hours getting
ready to go to the movies and
half a day glamorizing them
selves for a dance.
OF course, most women-after
they take on the full-time job of
housekeeping and being a mother
have less time to spend on their
appearance.
But with a little will power they
can keep their figures. With mag
nation and planning they can get
in enough beauty ticks to make
the most of whatever beauty is
theirs at any age.
All they need to remember is
that it is much more important to
a man to be able to say with
pride, This is my wife" than it
ever was for him to say, This
Is Miss So-and-So."
