According to reports there are many people born under the sign oi; the zodiac known as Gemini, which denotes a nature with two sides! Versatile, entertaining, lovable—but change- able, often contradictory. Men say there is a bit of Gemini in every woman and if this be so, it is ad- visable for them to understand such a disposition. Probably there are two sides to most women: the dreamer, ready Harmony in Colour with urphy PetaE %s ee WASHABLE WALL PAINT Easy Spreading • Leaves No Brash Mdrks ' FLAT • SEMI -GLOSS • GLOSS Wide Selection of Colours JOHN BACH On sale wherever Murphy Paints and NARVO are sold Main St. Telephone 17 HERE'S A BIG TOUGH LUG!

PROVIDE MORE AND BETTER TELEPHONE SERVICE TODAY, ws HAVS twice as many employees as five years ago because more people want more service than ever before. Eager, capable, courteous — our operators, instal- lers, the girls in our business offices—all bring to their jobs the same friendly spirit that means better telephone service for you, makes it of greater value than most other things you buy. In the past five years, our payroll has gone up from 20 million to over 50 million dollars. Yet, up to now, despite higher costs on all sides, there has been no increase in the basic telephone rates established 22 years ago. To -day's expansion program is breaking all records, but there are stet orders we haven't been able to fill. We will keep right on working and building to make your telephone service a bigger bargain than ever — to con- tinue to provide more and better service at the lowest possible cost.

A homemak- er has always a dream home in her thoughts and at. the same time is practical abotkt the things in which she invests as part of a. long term plan. There are ways to judge the jus- tification of siny purchase—first: Do I require it? The second con- sideration is: How much can I afford to pay for it? In addition to the dollars and cents value one must consider comfort, conveni- ence, durability and usefulness. To the many brides of this sea- son we suggest you follow the principles of Better Buymanship: 1. Tackle the job with confidence and determination. 2. Consult authorities before going into the market. 3. Decide in advance how much you can afford to pay. 4. Deal with re.put.able merchants. 5. Learn how to recognize genu- ine bargains. 6. Read the labels and ask for facts. 7. Choose according to your spe- cial needs. 8. Choose modern aids that in- crease efficiency. 9. Fit purchases into your long- term plan. 10. Respect the merchant's busi- ness sense and knowledge of his ow; merchandise. 11. Give due emphasis to .spiritual and psychological values. Good buymanship on the con- sumer's part helps the merchant supply your needs more economic- ally. For instance, avoid guess- work by obtaining information be- fore you buy. Purchase with the intention of keeping the article. Follow directions on the label carefully and make any report or returns promptly. We are impressed with the num- ber of skilful shoppers in our town. This was proven as .we made our survey recently. However, we de- cided to write this column for the many young people who have writ- ten to us lately inquiring about budgets. The Question Box Miss J. R. asks: How can I re- duce foods bills? Answer: 1. Learn how to choose the least expensive foods to make up an ad- equate diet. 2. Never waste food through overbuying, careless cooking, ov- er -serving or improper storage. 3. Grow garden produce and preserve a surplus for winter use. 4. Eat meals at home or carry a lunch. 5. Serve plain, tasty food for company. Mrs. B. asks: Should I buy a large or small vacuum cleaner for a live -room house with just one rug? Answer: Your purchase of this item should depend upon your fu- ture uture needs too. If you buy the larger one and the polisher at- tachment, you will save time and expense in keeping linoleum roofls in condition and have adequate cleaning equipment for the other vacuum jobs.

In the Garden Most For the Space One can grow a whale of a lot of vegetables in even a tiny plot of ground. A vegetable garden 10 feet by 20, with a little planning and double cropping will yield many meals. In the very small vegetable garden one is wise to forget those bulky or spreading sort of things like potatoes, corn, squash or peas. One should con- centrate on beans, carrots, beets, spinach, radish, lettuce, possibly, a half-dozen staked tomatoes and perhaps a hill or two of cucum- bers, trained over the boundary fence. None of these vegetables take up much room. Beane, beets and carrots, for instance, can be grown in rows only a foot apart, and 10 feet of any of them will produce many meals for the aver- age family. With some of the very early things like lettuce, radish and spinach, double cropping can be practised. Plant these in rows, say, 18 inches apart, with rows of the later things—beets beans, car- rots, parsnips, etc., in between. For Bouquets A corner of the vegetable garden or some place at the back of the lawn is often; set aside to grow flowers especially for indoor bou- quets. ouquets. When a large supply of blooms is wanted, frequent cutting leaves the regular borders a bit shy. Any of these flowers Suitable for cutting purposes will thrive on the same sort of cultivation that the vegetables get. Certain floly- ere, indeed, like gladioli, sweet peas and others of whish the foliage le not very attractive, are best grown With the Vegetates. tes. e WOE The Sober One Will Drive! 4al ••It ,-17-7 ..r 014/ McKILLOP The monthly meeting of the W.

Dahlias, gladioli, petunias and other soft - stemmed started flowers' are in this category,and also tomatoes, peppers, egg plants, cukes, squash, melons and pumpkins, Some of these, it is true, will survive a light frost,' but usually the damage sets them back so that they will never really catch up. With the seeds and bulbs, of course, one can plant a week or ten days before the last light frost because the plants will not be exposed above ground. There is not much advant- age in early planting because none T4 GETTING UP Get, a.7 vaa Dain?, If morning finds you only half rested, still weary—if yoursleep is broken by fife/ tossing sad turning be to Mame, kidneys Wben yourkidneys getout of order. your-skep usually suffers.

One safe shortcut, howev- er, is open to the amateur. Using 'special waxed paper caps, which are placed over individual hills or plants, one can plant seed or set out plants from two to three. weeks ahead -of normal. These caps act as miniature outdoor greenhouses. Cucumbers, melons, squash, etc., are usually grown in 'hills. These are beds a foot or so in diameter and about two to three feet apart. They are heaped up a few inches above the surrounding earth. This allows them to drain well and also to absorb more sun, which they love. Hills' are made by scraping out about six inches of the surface soil, filling with rotted manure or some similar rich mixture, then topping off with an inch or so of fine, light soil in which the seeds are planted. Health Hints The cleaner and healthier a gar- den the less liable fit is to be at- tacked by pests. Frequent culti- vation and proper spacing of plants, as emphasized earlier, is most important. A little chemical fertilizer, spe- cially recommended for the gar- den, will also help to keep plants robust. As this may ,burn df it comes in direct contact with roots or leaves it should be applied care- fully' and according to directions. One of the safest ways is to dis- solve in water and apply as a liq- uid. Fringes about the flower or veg- etable garden should mot be neg- lected. If weed's are allowed to thrive here they may harbor a lot of insects and other pests which will give trouble at the first oppor- tunity. If possible, trim with mower or scythe, or at least spray with some chemical weed killer. Another precaution is to have a sprayer or dust -gun handy (small sizes' can be secured for a dollar or so), and the chemicals to use with them. It is a simple matter to control bugs or disease If one counter-attacks at the first sign of them. Right Seed is Essential No matter how favorable the weather or soil, results are sure to lee disappointing unless one us- es good •seed. This Costs but a few cents a packet, but it is vital. It is' also vital to use seed; that is suitable for Canadian conditions. Something that might give wonder- ful results in 'the U.S. or Europe may be far too tender when plant- ed in Canada. Watering Will Help Being able to water the garden when necessary is .a big advantage. If the supply is limited to what can be pumped by hand from a well or cistern then it is well to confine to a corner of the kitchen garden where the lettuce, onions and a few short rows of beets and carrots are concentrated and also, of course, to a few favorite flow- ers. But if there is a hose and• lots of Water on tap, then •the whole garden and lawn will bene- fit. It is well to remember, however, that light sprinklings are of little use. They will just keep down the dust, which is of doubtful advant- tage, or when applied to the lawn will encourage' shallow rooting. It is far better to soak thorough- ly ^once a week in dry weather. This encourages the 'lawn grass to go down deeply where it will find more plant food. A few 'hours af- ter each thorough soaking either by hose or nature, the flower and vegetable garden• should be culti- vated to open up soil and 'prevent evaporation.
