In exposed or shaded positions plant lilacs, honeysuckles, hydran­ geas, mock orange and barberry. The most desirable vines are: Dutchman’s pipe, self-fastening Vir­ ginia creeper, Jackman’s clematis and bittersweet. Perennials, annuals and bulbs are often useful and help brighten up bare or sombre places. These are to be had in great variety but should be chosen to suit the specific pur­ pose for which they are required. Foundation planting is the plant­ ing of shrubs, vines annuals or per- enials around the base or all of a building. Many people do not seem to real­ ize the value of foundation planting While plants will not take the place of paint or repairs, they serve to hide buildings that would otherwise be drab or ugly. Hundreds of homes both old and new, throughout town and country, could be improved by careful planting of a few shrubs or vines around them to hide large ex­ panses of wall, soften sarp angles and accentuate desirable features* Naturalness should be the key­ note of all planting, in most cases plantings, irregullar both in width and height, are most pleasing. Do not plant a solid line as in a hedge. Group the plants in natural clumps and allow the grass to grow up to the foundation in a number of places} Make sure that the taller growing) shrubs will not interfere with win- j dows, matches, low growing plants or special arcitectural features However, if a mistake be made, it!_____ ____ , can be easily be rectified.

But I am wondering if it is necessary to pub- jlish .the names of the families re­ ceiving aid and for what the money is spent. Could not the amounts be bulked under relief and give the name of the merchant receiving the same and the amount. I am think­ ing of the children of these families on relief who must go to school and bear the stigma and taunts of the other children because their parents happen to 'be in unfortunate circum­ stances. Surely the citizens have confidence enough in the council to administer the relief as economi­ cally as possible. I can hardly think that municipalities in which there is an acute relief problem are publish­ ing the names and amounts of all who receive aid. At the end of the year the names with the amounts might be printed in the financial statements for the benefit of the ratepayers only. Trusting that the council will at least give the matter due consideration, we are Yours in the town’s welfare ' RATEPAYER Bothered With Bad Cough It Turned to Bronchitis Mrs, Morris Rudolph, Barney's River Station, N.S., writes:—“I was bothered with a bad cough which -turned to bronchitis.
