Ire glossy green, uoddiag heaves bid you Wel- come to this home, , One of the bast vines for sereen and diode effetets about a porch !e the common flee -leafed ivy or woodvine, It in usually be dug up somewhere along the fences or woode. It will not clime without a wire or lattice sup- port except on pi11are of rough atone. On'ee it Is corricct to the top of the porch it 'Is very effective ifcarried along under the roof op a narrow strip of tvi're or wooden lattice and allowed to hang down and gracefully conceal as touch of the porch as is. deslred. If an entire section of the veranda is to be screened this ivy will serve the purpose nicely, - +Clematis and Honeysuckle • Star clematis (clematis panieulata) is another beautiful vine for such use. It often stills down to the ground dur- ing the winter, but fortunately tit roots seldom die. After the first se son It Is a rapid, vigorous' grower, D Ing the hitter part of August it nom pletely covered with a snowy mase 0 small white star-shaped blotssonts. A there Is a scarcity of flowers among all shrubs and perennials at that season, ifs bloom is particularly noticeable at that season of the year. Honeysuckle is another goad porch vine. It is"a vigorous grower and sel- donrinjured by the -winter. The vine requires trellising. The bloom in similar tp wild honeysuckles but is larger and very fragrant. if the honey- suckle is kept heavily m=Lehed with manure it will bloom some during most of the summer. 91 a vine is wanted for a shady location or for the north end of a porch honeysuckle is preferable to any ether vine, Matrimony vine 1s frequently used on porches, but has an undesirable tnndenvy to become so dense and heavy that it proves attractive as a roosting place for birds, Stone, brick, cement and stucco lienees and bull/Singe of all kinds can be improved in appearance by the use of at least a few vines. No matter how attractive the construction ma- terial of such buildings, it can be made even more pleisfng to the eye by concealing a pert of It with a mass of dark glossy -green foliage. Plain flat surfaces and buildings with tall straight lines are specially improved by the use of clinging vines. Clinging Vines for Stone and Cement. Boston ivy Is perhaps the best vin for this purpose. It grows beet on th north, east and west exposures of building but can be used on the south side although it will killback to not extent during the winter. Boston ivy should be more frequently used: on cement e�ilou. Plant several vines O the north side of the silo. Alway avoid planting on a south expasur when possible. An olt1 wooden build- ing which has become unsightly can he completely covered be a few years with this vine. It will cling to wooden surfaces. Five -leafed Ivy (Virginia creeper) will cling to reugh w'rt11s, but .some tines It beconlee so heavy it provides e nesting and roosting place for spat' rows. Englontanee ivy 19 a variety of five leafed ivy w'hlcl, is a much better climber and of a" little denser foliage. It is preferable to the five -leafed, es- pecially where it to be used on ratli- er 911100th stone surfaces, as it has many more "pods" with which to fast en itself. Vines for the Fence, Windmill and Pergola, Victoria is a vine which Is frequent•, ly used onwindmills and arbors. I is a rapid grower once it gets Started. The blooms are the Size of large bunch- es of grapes and can be had in several different colors. It Is sometimes used on porches but becomes rather heavy For such a location and is not inclined t0 bloom so well as when given more sunlight. Rambler or climbing roses should , be used along a feuce or over a gar-' den gate or wall. Care of Vines. The soil close to the`fottndation of • a building is always -drier than the soil'' a foot away. For this reason all vines 1311011d bo plauted at least tett inches awns from the foundation line and trained over to the building., Like trees, they require a plentiful supply of manure. Never put mestere with the soil about the roots, of any plant, The manure Is best spaded in around the vie* after It is set lied at least a bushel should ba left on the surface of the ground around 'tlt-e plaint for a 8intener mt11'eh, Naturally., Not Sick, But Not Quite Well You Need the Help of Dr. 'YYIIiiallls' Pink Pills. • With the Massing of winter many people feel weak, depressed and easily tired.

Box 38 ,,, Brampton, Ont. • ti If you visit Stonehouse, a part' 0f Plymouth, England, you will notice a number of eh -ort streets called "oyes," The word is an abbreviation of "open- ing" and is applied to streets which open from one main street into an- other. There are several in the neigh - lyorltood of. the Marine Barracks, In Perth and in other Scottish towns' similar streets are mated "vennels," Inverness, Glasgow, and Dumfries all have vennels. The name is French in its origin and probably dates from the days of Mary Queen of Scots. In other parte of England tbere are French names for streets. In almost any town you may find a Row. Lon- don has many. The word is really "rue," which is French for "street." Then there are "causeways," of which a well known example is Newington Causeway, Causeway does not noes steely refer to a raised road, as is gen orally supposed, but is derived from the French word, "chaussee," which means a paved street. Spital is not an uncommon name for a street or road in Scotland or the North of England. The word is simply a shortening of hospital. Wherever you find the nante you may be certain that even if there is no hospital there now, such a building once stood near by. I11 other Northern towns you find "gates" such as Cast.egate, Trongate Seagate. The "gate" is not to be taken in the modern. significance as a portal or gateway, but is derived from a. Scandinavianword meaning road. I•Iigh street is the name of the-prin_ stet street in almost every small town in Great Britain. Here, again, few people are aware that in this case "high" does not mean raised, but mere ly "chief." Its meaning is the same as Main street, so popular in this Oen- try. • One-third of the land sur g:obe is covered with trees, Doctors—Then and Now., In the old days when 1 bad a kink i my system I went to Dr. Jones; A nd he'd tell me to say oh, and hit a wallop In the ribs, And ask how the wife was, and ho the kid was getting along a 'high school, And he'd write a prestriptlon That tasted as bad as it looked And nearly as bad as it smelled.

And the specialist gives}ne a cold look and says, "Sir there," And I sit. Then he opens up his toof kit and boils his tools a while. And when he thinks they're done enough Ile inserts them into my eye, ear, nose and throat. When they make me squirm, he gives me a dirty look, And. I stop sgpirming. At last he says hethinks he may b able to do something for me, If I'll have an eye, an ear, nose and • throatcutout. And I say I'll think about it. You bet I will!
