{ i i H { R W —— PAGE SIX -ALL SHOULD HAVE GARDENS Al R Y Cultivated Pilots Mean Comparative Independence as Well as Adding to Town's Attractiveness. [ A friend of ours who mixes the mu- Bic of dreams with the rattle and bang and noise and clamor of life, so that the one will soften and thus make more endurable the other, has a favor- ite theory of combining smokestacks with gardens, says a writer in Los An- geles Times. His idea Is for the wage earner. It 38 an idea through which the man who depends on & salary or a day's pay mu) place himself in a position of in- écpendence. And it seems to us that there can be no bigger or more im- portant 1dea than this in all the philoso- phy of life. What could be more sensible and practicable than a scheme whereby the wage earner raises on a plece of Jand near the clty all, or nearly all, that his family needs in the way of food, especially in this climate. That’s his greatest item of expense—food. ‘Why not raise his own food in his own garden? By doing this his wages or his salary from his job soon becomes an income —something that he can lay away, put in the savings bank, buy Liberty bonds with, and all that. Of course, this means that he will have a little extra work to do outside of his job, but, with a system, and his children to help, the work isn't great, and it can reaily be made a pleasure. GARDEN WITHIN HOME WALLS Attractive Window Fllling Adds Great- ly to Appearance of House, i Both Inside and Qut. ‘When winter compels us to bring in our goidfish and water lilies from our water garden and to tuck our roses in under warm overcoats and to mulch the beds In the regular garden, we do not cease to garden. For indoors we have our window or winter garden. It is part of the life of the home—an essentiai part, we hold. It might well be named “Everywoman's Conserva- tory,” because thére Is nothing In it hut what can be grown by every wom- an, and yet it Is satisfying and beau- tiful always.’ Every country or sub- urban home can have one as good or better, at small cost and In return for a little care.

"¥armers just now have plenty ot troubles: they are short of help, and much of the little help they are able to obtaln is poor and unreliable. The women of the family are working like HomeTlown ut the | of the farms along the roadside were helping the men In addition to dolng their housework. The plucky spirit of | the women fs unconquerable. Where there is a successful farm generally, if the real truth can be ar- rived: at, very much of the credit will ! be due to the spirit of a woman, who | in times of discouragement insists on unother and greater effort and who sees that the men are up and doing daily. ; 7 If women knew how cheaply and with what little labor the home grounds could be improved they would see that the men made the necessaty effort, or more likely would themseclves do the work, < A house in the country, standing out prominently, surrounded only by broad flelds, swept by the blgsts of winter winds and consumed by the fire of the summer sun, with the burifs and outbuildings as the only plece of lang. scape, s surely a lonesome place, to be avoided. There is no comfort there. —Exchange. CONSIDER LOOKS OF THINGS Any Number of Reasons Why Every Effort Should Be Made to Make Home Attractive. “In traveliag through a certain sec- tion of Hlindis the other day I noticed that most ¢f the homes were cheerless and desoiate,” Director Charles Adking told me the other day. “The yards were full of weeds, there were no flow- ers nor vines, and the majority of the houses were unpainted. “Who would want to live in such & plice? What attraction is there tof] keep the boys and girls on the farm? I felt like asking these people why | they didn’t palnt up und clean up and make their homes look like something.” Soldiers are required to keep thelr eiuipment clean and thelr faces shaved b:cause of the effect on their morale. A clean, trim-looking soldier has more selt-reapect” and fights better than a gloyenly one..

ANOLDRECIPE TODARKENHAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy Almost everyone knows that Sage | Tea and Sulphyr, properly compound- led, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Ycars ago'the only way to get this mixture was to make {it at home, which is mussy and trou- ! blesome. # | Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for *“Wyeth’s Sage and !Sulphur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the additien of othex in- gredients for about 50-cents. Every- body uses this preparation now, be- |cause no ohe can possibly tell that | you darkened your hair, as it does it 50 naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking que smail strand at a time; by morn- ling the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years young- er.

White, forty-two, a farmer of Rutland township, refused to register for the draft. ¥yen the pleas of his wife and vight children did not move him “I've a vislon from the Lord not to register,” he told them. He Is a stanch member of the Holiness church and “had to obey” visions. Then the sheriff took hfm before the draft board, and although friends said on account of his large famfly he probably would not he called, h still refused to register. He spent the night In jall. The next day he called for the sh {ft and said that he had had anoth vision and wanted to register, as heg was told to obey the laws of his coun- try. J Have Patience In Judgment.

You may pay less for a poor suit - but you do not get anything like the same value for what you pay. - These are some of the things that create the notoriously high cost of cheap clothing. Poor clothing is relatively so much higher in price than good clothing that it pays an economical man to buy the best and less of it. That is why some timid clothing ~ dealers, afraid to-meet their cus- tomers with facts, are rendering poor service. ,Knowin”g that costs e&grywhere are high, they turn to a lower standard of merchandise; they eau:. over the moment of sale, but fail to consider the day of reck- oning with their customers. A man forgets the price he paid, but the clothes are in evidence; cléar testimony to quality—or the lack of it. The Houses of Kuppenheimer & Style Plus have always maintained its standards. Alike have we. Its chief effort, as well as ours, is to offer the best merchandise avail- able and to render service to the clothes-buying public such as will create a feeling of confidence and _good-will among those who share our faith in quality. : We, as Kuppe@heimer & Style Plus merchants, represent a national clothes-service, both Mili- tary and Civilian, of peculiar advantage to you right now, while present stocks are intact.
