Ardeth 1 Lairs. listened es the

was. gay but not for her. Frank.
her husband, wan listening, too, at
the other end of the field 'rimy had
quarreled. They should have been
together, holding hands, not apart
nursing anger. Was it her fault if
she was thrifty? \i'hy did Frank
hate r, blow up when she hinted
at his extravagance? She tet- .. rift
thinking of their future and of the
home they greened of owning
That morning sitt had formal hint
in the garage. "Isn't it e honey
noes?" Frank had asked pointing
to the pi rtable radio on itis work
bench. "it works like a top since
I put in the tam' new• tubes.'

it sued: lama: gash out of the house
and shoe the d, or.
Suddenly there was 0 fatiitre and
Mr. tient-, master of ceremonies,
snoodsues! loudly: "'flus is the mo-
ment you have been naiti:'4 for. For
weeks we true tint'eeen dog the
community for the happiest married
couple. Folks, here they are, Mr.
and Mrs. lam es Pratt. Married

Pratt wc., ht -siting hisfife's handy
and lookiu;; down into her fare.
Mrs. Pratt rya. beaming. Ardeth
looked over at Frank but he was
stating straight ahead.
Mr. Getty talked into the mike,
"\\'e can all pattern our lives after
this lu:ppy cettple." He ,ltxtered
theist with gifts: furniture, groceries
and a bend. As Ardeth watched
them waik oft, she wondered about
their recipe for happiness. Twenty
tive years! Surely, Mrs, Pratt would
be glad to help out a broken-hearted
The nest morning was Sunday.
Frank ate breakfast in silence and
disappeared into the garage. Ardeth
walked over to the bus. It wasn't
a tong ride She was surprised to
find the Pratt's house smothered in
bushes and trees. It certainly sym-
bolized happiness. A dream house!
She ran up the steps with a light-
ened heart. She pressed the bell
but no one answered. She could
!tear the radio and knew someone
was at home, If they didn't answer
the front, perhaps they would the
back door. Walking around, site
heard loud vices in the basement.
"Is that .o?" yelled Mrs. Pratt.
There \tee a blasting noise and
Ardeth heard falling glass. Then
another voice. "How in the blazes
was I supposed to know you used
the pan for that?" More crashes.
"My aim is a$ good as yours,,' the
first .sire screamed. "If you crave
to throw, 1'11 throw something, too."
Later on, when Ardeth had been
invited in, Mrs Pratt said: "So you
came to me for advice?" She patted
Ardeth's shoulder and said: "Per-
haps I can give you some at that."
She offered Ardeth some home-
made cookies. "We're happy.
Quarrels don't natter, every normal
couple has them. But yon can't
change a husband. You've got to
accept his shortcomings as he must
accept yours . There isn't any
recipe for happiness. But you can
overlook many things in life."
When Ardeth got home Frank
was still in the garage. She went
straight oto him. "I'nt sorry about
the tubes, Frantic. I'm au awful
tightwad."
Frank's eyes brightened up like
sparklers. He reached to a shelf.
"I got you this at the Fair," he
said, handing her a huge how -be-
decked box of candy. It looked
awfully expensive, but Ardeth re-
membered about the overlooking
part Mrs, Pratt had mentioned, so
all she did was to look into Frank's
eyes.

In normal seasons September and
October offer exceptionally favor-
able coalitions for gr.:wing grass,
and those who
plan to stake new
lawns, or remodel
old ones, would
tlo well to take
advantage of
them. F.,r this
purpose fall has
several distinct
advantages over
spring.
For one thing, at this time of
year the soil is ea.;ier to loosen, or
to move if desired. 'l'he ground is
warns, and the daytime tempera-
tures keep it so until all the tiny
grass seeds get a chance to sprout.
Heavy dews and plentiful rainfall
provide the moisture time little shoots
need so newt'.
* *
Then again most of the rankest
weeds and the wild grasses have
ceased to grow, so that your new
grass isn't handicapped by their
competition, nor is there the danger
of scorching that comes when extra
hot early summer weather follows
too soon after your spring seeding.
* *
For a good lawn the best seed
bed is six to eight inches of loamy
topsoil with plenty of organic nat-
ter dug into the fill or subsoil un-
derneath. Although preparing such
a bed may seem like a lot of un-
necessary labor and expense—and
even though occasionally good
lawns are started on shallower lay-
ers of subsoil or clay—the quick
and permanent results stake the ex-
tra trouble well' worth while.
* * *
Before starting a new lawn it
might be well to have the soil test-
ed to find out whether or not lime
is necessary. If it is, raw pulverized
limestone or agricultural lime is
better than builders line. And
whether lime is needed or not, and
regardless of the appearance of the
topsoil, for really fine grass you
should apply fertilizer.

This week's illustration shows
graphic signs of tactfulness and
gives an interesting study of per-
sonality. Intuition is the basis of a
tactful personality and this is shown
in the scrip by the breaks between
the letters where time pen was lifted.
Compactness of the letters clear-
ly indicates that tnttoh feeling is put
into the writing, and the sharpness
of most of the letters is a sign of
the rapid mental activity. The cap-
ital letters emery independence, but
not vanity. The strokes of the
letter 't" show humor and tenacity.
To stun up, it may be said that
there is sensitiveness of feeling for
others in the slope of the writing,
witft intuition to sense the impor-
tant
mportaut features of a situation. There
is humour, alertness of mind to
meet new and varied conditions,
and tenacity to hold to principles
and ideals.

the Health League of Canada's offic-

presses the view that "it is even
harder to believe that there are

nothing at all about it and who
don't know what immunization

spread the gospel of imim uniz-
ation and to emphasize to parents
of children who have not been pro-
tected, through immunization,
against such diseases as diphtheria
whooping cough and smallpox, the
Health League of Canada this week
is sponsoring "National Inununiza-
tion \\'eek". In co-operation with
official health departments, the
Health League, a voluntary health

Timothy had a gaol start In life.

What a heritage wee hist
Timothy heard the Gospel on the
occasion of Paul's first visit to
Lystra. He saw this messenger, first
offered worship, as a god. and then
stoned, dragged out of the city, and
left for dead, Doubtless he Paten
heard the apostle's exhortation "to•
continue in the faith and that we
must through much tribulation.
enter into the kingdom of God".
When Paul returned to Lystra om
his second missionary journey Tim-
othy's Christian influence had al-
ready spread abroad. Paul invited'
hint to accompany hits in mission-
ary work.
Timothy performed a very useful'
ministry. Religion is not inherited,
but the influence of godly parents
and grandparents is of untold value
in assisting children and youth to
chosse the• way of discipleship of
Jesus Christ.

Sounds almost unbelievable — until you know the reasons
why. Certo is nothing but "fruit pectin" -- the natural sub-
stance in fruit which makes jams "jam" and jellies "jell?
It's extracted from fruits in which' it is most plentiful for,
better, quicker, easier jam and jelly making,
1. Short boil — That's why, when
you use Certo, you don't have to
"boil down" your fruit to make it
set. A one -to -two -minute full,
rolling boil is enough for jams...
a half-minute--to-a-minute for,
jellies.
2. Extra yield — The short Certo
boil saves all the precious fruit
juice which, in long boiling, goes
off in steam. You get an extra
yield of $0,% more jars; or, jelly.
3. Saves time, work—What a lot
of time and'workitsaves, too! The
old long -boil way you'd have to
boil and stir many times as long.
4. Fresh fruit flavour — (colour —
With Certo you use fruit at its
peak of flavor and colour and not
the under -ripe fruit used in long -
boll recipes. The Certo boil is too
short to spoil this lovely taste and
colour. They stay, right in gout
jam or jelly.
5. No failures --You'll liave no
failures if you follow exactly the
recipes provided with Certo. Dif- e
ferent fruits need different hand-
ling, so there's a separate
tested recipe for each one, fI
