The Crocus is one of the first blooms in Spring and in many bright colors they make the gar- den gay in early May. A sheltered spot is be:': for all early bulbs and in this garden they are planted on a sunny bank with the evergreen hedges as a background. They are inexpensive and increase very fast. soon dozens of bulbs are blooming in the space where you planted a small number. I like the deep yellow and purple varieties, and they also come in striped colors and white. many shades of blues and others with contrasting centres.

I have seen them used in edging the rose beds. and in early spring it was a pretty sight as I -walked along the street in the Western Capital.

. . .

The crocus is the best known of the early bulbs although not the earliest. They are a native to Eu- rope and Asia. And the hybirds we use have been produced by Dutch nurserymen. Naturallzed under trees they do especially well, some use them in drifts on the lawn but there is difficulty in mowing the lawns as the foliage of all bulbs should die down naturally for the good of the bulb. There are the Autumn flowering Crocuses and they are planted in late August and September, blooming when color is needed in the garden.

Husband Advised To Deal Firmly With Wife Who Insults Mother

DEAR. MISS DIX: I have the best mother in the world and I am devoted to her. She owns the house in which we live Ind to which I brought my wife when we were msrrled I you Igo. My wife knew all about the conditions. that I hod to support my mother. and I urged her to wait for I few years until I was making more money before we muried, but she insisted on an immediate marrlugo in order to es- cape unpleasant conditions in her J1omn,,.ilnce,we have married. and although we are living in my mother-'s-house. she treat: my mother in the most dominating way and never speak: to her except to i say something spiteful and cutting and lo insulting that 1 Im stunned. We have a baby and she will not even let mother touch it. My mother is amiable, sweet-tempered and easy to get along Wllh and is in no way at fault. What shall I do? '

ALBERT

ANSWER: I know well enough what you should do. but unfor- iunately in our civilization we have evolved the theory that no man should raise his hand to a woman save in kindness.

TELL HEB OFF

As that source of reformation is closed to you. the bestthlng you can do is to tell your wife in the strongest language that you can

summon that you have stood her outrageous conduct just as long II you intend to and that she has either to behave herself or you will

send her back to the home that she was so anxious to escape. That will probably bring her to her senses. She doesn't want to leave her good home. She is trying to run your mother out of it.

It is a wonder that any woman who has a child of her own does not look ahead into the future and foresee that I! she treat: her mother-in-law her son's wife may treat her. Does your wife never think how bitter it would be to her if her son's wife insulted and re- vilcd her without cause. if she made her old age lonely and desolate by driving her out of her own house?

Of all men in the world. none are more to be pltled than those who are torn between lhe.two women they love. and especially are those to be pitled who see their wives breaking the hearts of their mothers and who are powerless to save the dear old grsyl heads from the sufferings inflicted by a Virago.

DEAR MISS DIX: l am a boy of 19. very much interested in as nice girl of 18. The other day she said to me: "I am never going to fzci married, I don't want to be tied down. I want to let the fun out of life." This has caused me much Concern. Will she change this outlook? What shall I do?

i C. D. Q.

ANSWER: instead of disapproving of her you should applaud her for having enough sense not to want to marry at 18. She knows she isn't ready to marry then. that she hasn't seen enough of the world and known enough boys to be able to pick out a mate. She knows that she is a child still. with a child's changing tastes, and that the boy she is crazy about today she won't look at tomorrow and that she would be in a pretty pickle if she got tired of her husband almost as soon as she had got him home.

Ami. of course. she isn't ready to settle down and to be tied

' down with a husband nnd house and babies at 18. She wants to have

her fling.

Don't worry about your girl saying that she will never marry be- Cllllsc slie wants to get some fun out of life. When she in A little older she will reverse that opinion. She will think that marriage is next to heaven and that there is nothing that is so much fun in the world as having her own home and her own husband.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a widower 52 years old. no children. good health. very fond of home life. My sister-in-law is 66 years old. a widow. no children, good disposition. good health. good housekeeper. I am thinking of marrying her as I can give her a good home and feel sure we will be happy together. This is no wild love affair. Just good judgment on our part. But our families are much opposed to

We looked in upon these pati- ent creatures, when together we made the round of the barnyard today. New faces were in the stables to greet, ihose that have come in the tide that bears the Spring increases to the farmer - calves "they're mostly reddish this year" the small one explained. stopping to rub a hand down a silken side. At the piggeries too we found a new generation and contentment at its best, in a sight of the warm pink bodies cud- dled closely beside their resiing dams. The fattening cattler-but James leaned a manure-fork against a wall and came to join us there. These are at that stage of growth and condition when James admits "they're coming" and lingers pridefully to watch them at play. when they are let out to drink at the tubs in the yard. We loitercd in a barn. where to granddaughters delight we could admire the horses through the slides above their respective mangers. And there in from of the Nell-mare, who thrust out I head to be peited, intriguing plans came to light, about her un- born foal. "We'll buy a little halter for it, won't we? Just a elite little one with a strap here and here - so that we can lie it up -whenever we want to. It will have a white star on its forehead when it comes. And likely as not white stockings. And won't it be the nicest thing? And who'll be ihe first to find ii?"

Today clear sunny April skies; caressing wind and trickling streamlets; bird notes flung on the air. and blush of red come to Pat's line of maples beyond the hilltop. Fading in with the other sounds of Spring but still there, we were aware of the musical flow of the water through the gates on the dam. Very pleasant it is to hear this again "And why do you want the window left open so wide, Ellen?" James inquired at Light's out last night when stars were in the branches of the old white birch Ind Ill was calm and lovely. "We'll catch cold-that's what we will," he grumbled, ”there'o I dampness in the air." There was as well for us the lul- lably from the over-flow down in the valley, I melody which can lead one pleosantly inio'the land of dreams.

"And there's no fishing yet!" Jamie is Sabbath visitor comment- ed yesterday. "Oh I know there'd be none on I Sunday anyway, but it would be all the same if this had been Monday - the water's too redl" Thus fIr no Ingler has come to the neighborhood.

You often hear the words "focal infection." As "focus" means I point or spot in the body, we know that it is at this spot or focus that the infection began. What we do not know, or perhaps give no thought to, is that infection from this focus or starting point may be and often is carried to distant parts of the body. Thus we know that infected tonsils are the corn- monest cause of rheumatic fever and rheumatism; that infected tonsils and teeth may cause infec- tion of stomach and gall bladder. In "Post - Graduate Medicine." Dr, Meyer Solis . Cohen, Philadel- phia. points out that focal infection is not exactly the same as focus of infection. The organisms "starting" an infection at a focus. such as the tonsils or teeth, often remain in this one spot and do no damage to the tissues nearest to this spot. es- pecially if the. patient's resistance to disease is high. However, if his resistance to infection and disease is low, these organisms or the pois- ons they manufacture may be car- ried by the lymphatlc vessels or the blood stream to other more or less distant tissues. where the organisms may set up a second in- fection. Thus. from the spot at which infection started. and from the distant spot where the , set up the second infection. the poisons are absorbed into the blood stream. The patient then has "in- fccted" or poisoned blood which can cause various symptoms throughout the body. This is local infection or systemic infection. Focal or systemic infection causes

such symptoms or Physical fatigue. lack of energy, general tlredne ss. drowsiness, weakness

and exhaustion. Mental fatigue is shown by inability to concentrate. mental confusion, lack of desire for mental or physical work. headache. lack of Ippetite, faintness, dizzi- ness.

If you have my of the above physical and mental symptoms. you should consult your family doc- tor and dentist to try to find if infection is present before con- sulting a specialist regarding any one part of the body.

A. It most certainly is. Remove these particles from the mouth with the thumb and forefinger and place them in an ashtray. It is best to do as little of this as possible. Q. If a bride has already thank- ed 3 person for I wedding gift. is it then necessary for her to write A note of thanks?
