A student of garden de sign qannot fail to be struck with the simplicity of Colonial gardens. A garden should breathe rest and refreshment and furnish a relief for nervous activity rather than a sense of agitation.

The route is now all paved in South Carolina from Charleston, Colum bia and Augusta to the Georgia line, and there the state road ceas es, to be resumed again in North Carolina. “The experience of the highway shows plainly what can be done in the promotion of roads in the in terest of this city and section by a little organization and persistent attention,” said Mr. Middleton. “There are other roads and import ant connections elsewhere that can be obtained as easily. The con nection across from Johnston oO Newberry, S. C., was obtained in the same manner; the entire Fureys Ferry-McCormick road; the connection to Brunswick; the Lin-' colnton road which has been promised for ten years but which is not on the map, are examples. “We should get a direct road to New Orleans. We need a short-cut to Florida to save 35 miles, via Waynesboro, ’ Millen and Jessup. A short cut from Asheville to Cin cinnati is needed and could be ob tained by ' efficient promotion. Traffic from Cleveland would find its shortest route to Florida through Augusta by development of the road from Mountain City through Tazewell, Va., and Welch, W. Vpr, to Charleston, W. Va. Welch, W. Va.* is now working on this. There are many*other small gaps that could be provided in nearby and distant state systems that would create important trunk lines through Augusta,” said Mr. Middleton.

Inquiries concerning such so- called ailments are received fre quently by veterinarians of the United States Department of Agri culture who in all cases attempt to dispel the obvious misinformation and discourage the ineffective and cruel treatments commonly used. Barbarous methods have included the pouring of turpentine into holes drilled in a cow’s horns, split ting the tail, and the application of severe irritants to various parts of the body. Methods of preventing a any Uve- ; stock diseases are described in de partment publications, but in any case where surgery or the use of drugs is involved, a competent vet erinarian should be consulted. The Bureau of Animal Industry com mends all efforts to dispel supersti tious beliefs and is ready to furnish | accurate information on actual I diseases affecting domestic ani mals. tXi Hints For Delicious Sandwiches Given “Sandwiches are both necessities and luxuries, and they fill this double purpose extremely well,” says Inez S. Willson, home eco nomist. There are little dainty sandwiches for bridge luncheons— she calls them ladies’ sandwiches— and there are men’s sandwiches, the more substantial • ones which give men the feeling of having din ed. What man could refuse a slice of tender juicy roast beef, half concealed between two slices of bread and covered with a savory brown gravy; or baked Virginia ham with hot raisin gravy; or ground beef with tomato sauce; or a fried ham and egg sandwich; or a grilled tomato surprise? “Of all the sandwich fillings, meat is the greatest favorite,” says Miss Willson. In the first place, the natural palatability of meat is liked by everyone; then it is so easy to slice and use, or it may <be put through the food chopper and mixed with a few chopped pickles or olives, moistened with mayon naise and used as a spread; and last but not least, because of the high nutritive value of meat, it is a good idea to include a meat sand wich in the lunch box each day. Here are some suggestions for sandwiches: Baccn and Egg Sandwiches Chop crisp bacon and hard-cook ed eggs and combine. Add to this chopped olives or dill pickles, moisten with mayonnaise and spread on buttered bread. Ham Sandwich Filling To 1 cup of chopped ham add enough vinegar to moisten, also 1 tablespoon peanut butter. Season with a dash of celery salt and pep per. Mix well and spread between thin slices of bread cut in rounds. Meat Loaf for Sandwiches 2 pounds round steak, ground 1 pound ground fresh pork 1 pound veal, ground 1 green pepper, minced 1 small onion, minced 2 eggs 1-3 cup cracker crumbs 1-2 cup cooked tomatoes Salt Pepper Mix thoroughly and form into a loaf . Pour over it 1 cup tomato juice and bake in a medium hot oven in an open pan for 1 hour, basting several times with the to mato juice. When nicely brown ed, cover and reduce tne heat to a slow oven. This makes a large meat loaf, sufficient for dinner in the evening and lunches the next day.
