ens bring a delightful note of color
into the dining room, where we appreciate

pale sea green or amethyst cloth as
a blackground for your flowered
china. . Tempting?-isn't it T > .

way, jSalt strewn over aapara-^
gus beds, generously, will kill weeds'
and serve as fertilizer.
Obnoxious weeds may he'kitted by
covering the stalks with salt. Salt
sprinkled over the ground will keen
down weeds. Snails and earthworm*
can be killed by sprinkling salt on
the, sidewalks and damp corners
where they thrive. ^ . .
