L , Gordon Smith.
The next few wrecks are an ideal
time for pruning your spring flower-
ing shrubs such as lilac, forsythia,
wisterit, iridal wreath and mock
orange,
Once these shrubs have creased
flowering you can
attack the old
1-4 4 shoats -- thick as
a thumb and dark
/ colored --cutting
than out at the
base in order to
iudirc new Wood
which will flower
more freely. One
third or one quar-
ter of the shrub removed each year
will neike the chore an easier one,
* * *
'1'o puree successfully, nothing is
sore iutpr,rtnn1 than having the
peeper tools. A pair of pruning
shears 1,111s long -handled lopping
shears fir thick -stemmed branches
are tee.eetiel. They're not expensiv-e
and if yen get well tnade ones they
should 1 lad a lifetime. Grass clip-
pers and hedge clippers are design-
ed for grass and hedges; they're not
proper priming gaols.
Transplanting -
Twenty years or so ago .gardeners
and nurserymen were beginning to
w-rarler wiry transplanting couldn't
be cline in the summer instead of
just during the spring and fall, So
'lnti 1 egau experiments which turn-
ed c nt so well that it is predicted
now' that most hurticttlturisls, with-
in a kw years, will be practicing
„all eeetein planting"
The future will also find nurseries
Mitring plants of all kinds especi-
ally groomed for planting, .not at
any one est seasntt, but at the gard-
ener's convenience. This Will re-
verse the old rule whereby the gard-
cmr had to set itis schedule to suit
the plait':, condition of growth,
* * *
Ruses are an example of what is
meant, Alert nurserymen nowadays
are offering roses established in
gots-some in bud, others in frill
!them, They natty he planted any
time during the frost -free months.
Sometimes they have been started
in t greenhouse, so that a new rose
bed may be planted as early in the
year hs weather permits.

11 is' likely that similar practices •
will before long be taken up its the
field of flowering shrubs. In the 4:

moving and plants should not be
allotted to stand in the full, hot sun,
Ptntrtll - in the actual planting,
which should be done with great
care, the ball of earth should be
placed in a well-prepared hole and
water theft "flooded in", And, Fifth
-foliage shnnld be sprayed with a
fine mist each evening for a few
days and any branches, where the
foliage has died, rut back.
One of the greatest causes of
fires is collections of ",bunk" --old
newspapers, magazines, clothes.

Baboon in War Paint
An African baboon, the Mandrill,
has Leen called the most hideous
animal on earth. That conclusion is a
bit extreme. Most grotesque, or most
clownish -looking would be better de-
scriptions. Certainly the animal loolcs
as if it had raided a paint shop to
bedizen itself in the gaudiest of
colours for a masquerade hall of the
jungle, There's a tuft of soft hair
an the top of its head; a pointed yel-
low beard adorns its chin. Cheek pro-
tuberances are startling in their
striped pattern of brilliant blue.
Other facial features are blood red.
Above, the hair of this nightmare
baboon is olive brown, below it is a
silvery white. A full-grown male of
this "make-up" monkey is five feet
Iail v h -n standing erect. A Mandrill

this insect -eating baboon hat it has to
be seen before it is appreciated -or

Sentences taken from their con-
text are supposedly misleading. But
that theory doesn't always apply -
not these clays. Sentences -or even
a few unrelated words, often stand
out sharp and clear, revealing far
more than the speaker realises. For
instance, I passed two girls on the
street, presumably young - married
woven. Said one-"Ilave you fin-
ished your slopping?" The other
answered -"No, I have to go to the
butcher's yet -and do I dread the
thought of buying neat!" No ex-
planation is necessary, is it?
* * *
Hire is anetlter tid-bit which fol-
lowed a women's meeting in the
country. Mrs. Aye said to me next
morning -"Did you see Mrs. bee's
modernized kitchen:"
"Yes," I answered, "it was lovely,
wasn't it?"
"It sure was -so lovely that I
was right down sick about it after
I got holm 1"
Thereis a story in those few words
too, isn't there?
* * *
But there is more to it than that.
It is a matter of decision and then
being satisfied afterwards, Know-
ing Loth these women and their
families I know that each has things
the other hasn't got. For instance
Mrs. Aye hasn't gut a streamlined
kitchen but last year there was
added to her house a lovely large
screened -in sunporch with the most
gorgeous view imaginable. A place
to eat, work, sleep or laze in to
one's heart's content. I'm telling
you that porch is really something.
* * *
Mrs. Bee hasn't got 80 much as
a front entry but inside the house
there is this wonderful kitchen -
you just feel you have stepped into
New, - And All
Of Them Useful
Phonograph Pickup, Weighing
only two-thirds of an ounce and un-
affected by temperature and humi-
dity changes, this new phonograph
pickup is snid to give low-priced re-
cord players same tonal range as
more expensive models.
Takes Tarnish Off Silver, About
the size of a fountain pen and oper-
ated by electric battery, this appli-
ance is claimed t0 remove tarnish
safely from either sterling or plated
silver by ntereiy touching the tip
to the tarnished article while it is
submerged in slightly salted water,
Automatic Defroster. This de-
vice which fits between electrical
outlet and refrigerator cord is claim-
ed to provide automatic defrosting
of the refrigerator during the night.
Space Saving Heater. Requiring
no more floor spare than a chair is
this oil boiler -burner combination.
Designed only for trot water heat-
ing systems, it is completely auto-
matic, and performs equally well
with new radiant heating installa-
tions or as a replacement unit for
present heating outfits, Can be
placed in alcove, utility or recrea-
tion room, basement or kitchen,
Shampooing Chair, Comfortable
home shampooing is claintd by in-
ventor of a chair equipped with
drainboard of tough colorful plastic.
'file tray tilts to proper angle for
any wash basin, Chair folds flat
for compact storage.
Water Softener. Automatic ap-
pliance holds 500 pounds of salt in
brine storage tank -enough to per-
mit the softening of 100,000 gallons
of ten grain hardness water, (a
year's supply for normal average
fancily). No complicated) valvas,
knobs or gadgets,
one of those magazine advertise-
ments of the modern kitchen, com-
plete with dining -alcove. Still an-
other family, satisfied with just an
average house for conveniences,
seen' to have found their heart's
desire in the newest and smartest
things in cars.
You see what I mean, don't you?
Not many of us can have all we
want but if and when the time
comes when we can make a bit of
a splurge then we naturally have to
decide in our own way what we
want the most. And if we decide
on a sunporch rather than 0 stream-
lined kitchen then surely we should
not envy the• woman witil her
modern kitchen.

Last week 1 hd2l to make a deci-
sion myself. I had the offer of an
electric refrigerator. Partner told
me to please myself. \\'ell, I
thought of the work it would save, •
trailing up and down the cellar
stairs; and of the food it would save
-I have such trouble in keeping
meat from going bad. Gone also
would be our ice -box troubles. I-Iow
often have I brought ice heck front
town only to find the then con-
spicuous by their absence. And if
you think carrying a fifty -pound
chunk of ice clown cellar is fun you
want to try it some time, Inc tongs
are useless in my hands. i\ly
method was to wrap the ice lovingly
in a clean towel, thug it to my chest
and finally arrive, damp, cold and
breathless at the ice -box down
cellar. '1'lten there was that extra
heave necessary to get my slippery
burden into the ice chautber-usu-
aliy it would slither out of sly arms
halfway to its destination and often
break in two on the cellar floor.
Are you surprised that only in ex-
tremely hot weather did we bother
with the ice -bas at all? It is differ-
ent in town where ice is delivered
right to your liox.
* * *
All of which leads up to the fact
that 1 went ail out in favour of a
refrigerator and now it is here
and in operation --and I ant pretty
sure I am not going to regret my
choice. The only trouble is we are
having to rearrange the pantry,
more or less building around the
refrigerator. Young John was
watching one night --Partner at his
carpenter work and 1 painting this
thing and that -finally he remarked,
and with reason -"Every time you
get something new it makes a lot of
work, doesn't it?" And was he
right)
* * *
And here is another story in one
sentence: Yesterday a farmer's wife
was telling me about their hired
nian and said -"He is (mite green
but of course Ile wants good wages.
We don't really mind the wages --
it's havifig to board hint too that
gets us down."
Times dlange, don't they -re-
member when an extra ratan to feed
was neither here nor there on n
farm?

WHAT IS CERTO? CERTO DOES TH1S
Wiry does Certo give you so
much more jam and jelly? And
why do Certo jams and jellies
look better . - . taste better?,
It's all quite simple. Certo is
nothing but "fruit pectin"- the
natural substance in fruit that
makes jams "jam" and jellies
"jell". It's extracted and refined
to help you make better jams -
and jellies more easily and
quickly.
THE CERTO SHORT BOIL
Witit Certo you don't have to
boil and boil and boil your fruit
to make it set. A one -to -two.
minute full, rolling boil is
enough for jams . , . a hall -
minute -to -a -minute for jellies.

2. Gives you 50% more jam or
jelly because you save all the
precious fruit juice that wastes
away in steam in long boiling.
2 Cuts to a fraction the time
spent over the stove.
3 Retains the lovely, natural
fresh -fruit taste and colour.
That's still more important be-
cause with Certo you use fruit
at its peak of flavor and colour
- not the under -ripe fruit used
in long -boil recipes. .
SUCCEr9 SURE -
EVEN FOR BEGINNERS
However inexperienced you may
be, you'll have no failures if you
follow exactly the recipes pro-
vided with Certo. Different
fruits need different 'handling.
There's a separate kitchen -
