MARY MORTON When you are puzzled about what to serve the family in spring, get lamb. Broiled lamb chops with fresh veget­ ables and a sweet pudding and maple syrup sauce is an ideal menu for this time of year.

Serve with Maple Sauce. Rhu­ barb may be substituted for apples if you prefer. Relief Found at Last With perfect frankness a woman correspondent writes:— "I nave suffered from constipa- * tion as long as I can remember, and taken all sorts of things—which in some cases seemed to do good at first,..but afterwards to have no effect. Then I thought I would try Kruschen in my tea every morning, and I have done so for over a year. I am .pleased to say after the first month I had no more trouble with constipation and I have felt very fit.”—(Mrs.) G. M. S. Kruschen helps to maintain a condition of internal cleanliness. The several salts in Kruschen stimulate the organs of elimination to smooth, gentle action.

Garden- Graph PAPER CUPS AS VEGETABLE PROTECTORS Paper cups should be secured and As illustrated in the Garden-Graph, another way in which these paper cups are valuable is to protect such plants as tomatoes against cutworms, which have a special fondness for the young plants. The cups should be set into the ground so that an^inch at least will ■be above ground. When !the paper cups are used, the" bottom, of course, is cut off and the plants can be set into the ground with­ out disturbing the ball of earth about the roots. • • I Hints On Fashions the THE MIXING BOWL by Anne Allan Hydro Home Economist • Plenty of good light at the bridge table makes the game and conversation go better —saves mistakes and tempers.

Soft doughs may be drop­ ped from a spoon onto awaking sheet or rolled and shaped with a cutter, knife or pastry wheel. However, it takes practice to roll out a soft cookie dough. Stiff doughs are usually rolled out and shaped by cutting. Sometimes they are made into small balls and flattened by pressure from the hand, a broad knife or a rolling pin. In rolling any dough, take out on the lightly floured board.

Lift the cookies with a spatula or broad knife on to the greas­ ed cookie sheet, allowing a little space for spreading. Save all the trimmings for the last rolling. The last cookies will not be of the same texture because of some flour worked in with the mixing of these trimmings. Plain cookies may be made more in­ teresting by the use of cutters of vari­ ous shapes and sizes or cutting into shapes'of animals, dolls, clowns, trees, etc. These may be decorated with nuts, candies, melted chocolates, marshmallow paste, colored frostings, etc, Cuokies for a hearty lunch are best filled with a cake filling or frbsting, fruit paste, jam, jelly, niarmalade or peanut butter.

Do you find a dark line left on the wallpaper or paint when you change your pictures around in the Spuing? Tack a tiny cork at each cor­ ner Of the lower edge of the picture frame. 3. Try gluing a paper plate to the •bottom of your paint tin, when you start your house-cleaning painting bee. It catches the drip from the tin and is a dandy place to lay down your brush. 4.

Peter used to farm the old Mullins place on the Tenth Concession. His farm butts on to our grass farm, and when we would be over salting the cattle on a Sunday afternoon in the summer it was the usual thing for a chat. Peter was walking out of the post office when I met him on the street and we stood there talking for a while.. A year ago last Fall, Peter retired to the village and bought a little place next to the old iMurphy store. Every­ body in the district was of the opinion that it was a fine thing for him to re­ tire and hand the place over to young Dan. 28th ANNIVERSARY To the first 50 customers Saturday we offer an ex* ceptional buy —* Orte Broom for 13c, Ladies, when you houseclean be sure to get equip­ ped with Brooms, Mops, Mop-Sticks, Polishers, etc. at Rae’s** For Saturday Only, we offer 1Q% Discount for cash on all General Steel Wares enamel cooking unten- sils, Buy Now and Save, Martin-Senour Paints with the most durable finish and the best covering capacity at regular prices.

The Main Street is dead but you can see the smoke stirring out of the chimney of every home of a retired farmer. You don’t break off the habit of getting up at five o’clock in the morning for forty years, just by retiring. They’ll be standing at the gateway or on the ver­ andah, or if it's the summer time they may be hoeing, but as you go past they’ll wave and stand at the gate and.' count the cattle. You can see them, eyeing the stock over, and thinking- back to the crisp mornings when they drove cattle to market and were busy and happy, before they retired. SPRING Calls For 'F Paint and Wallpaper •• I remember Mrs. Phil saying, “It) certainly is nice for Peter Kenzies to be able to retire and enjoy the money he's made. There’s too many people who don’t know enough to quit work when they get to his age.” It sort of took me by surprise when he said, “Phil, have you got a man for seeding yet?” . I told him I hadn’t, because the hir­ ed man had enlisted, and he said, “Well, I’ll be glad to go out and help you this Spring. 1 may not be as good as I was at working, but I’ll do chores or anything at all.” Maybe I looked surprised when he said that, but when he said lie would come out and work for nothing, my face must have certainly had an amaz­ ed look on it. “Don’t look surprised, Phil,” he said calmly, “I’ll die if I have to sit around here doing nothing for another year. If you take my advice you’ll never re­ tire. It’s one thing to wear out, but it’s the devil to rust out.” There’s a problem for smart doctors to solve! What can you do with re­ tired farmers. I don’t mean the easy­ going kind of farmer like myself, who would be glad to give up farming at any time for the promise of enough to eat, a supply of fuel for a fire and plenty of tobacco to smoke. I mean the hard-working farmers, who slave away all their lives to get enough money ot retire on. They travel in high gear Until they’re sixty or so. Then they retire. It means that they quit work altogether. They discover then that low gear lias rusted out be­ cause they never used it before. You see them sitting around the Post Office and the general store and the chopping mill. When they are sit­ ting there by themselves the converse* tion lags along about the things they did when they were farming, Just let a farmer walk in , . , that is a farmer who is still working at the job. They’ll brighten up immediately and start to ask questions about the maple syrup run, and the price of hogs and how the cattle have wintered. They’re still farmers at heart, but they have noth­ ing to farm with. Our Selection of Spring Papers Is Now Complete. Prices as low as 9c per roll.
