WHY QUINTUPLETS use this great rub for SORE THROAT »COLDS Wonderful for Grown-Ups, Tool Ever since they were tiny tots—when- erer the Quintuplets catch cold—their chests, throats and backs are immediately rubbed with Musterole. Musterole gives such blessed prompt relief because it’a more than fust an erdinary “salve." It's what so many Doctors and Nurses call a modem counter- irritant. It not only relieves coughs, sore throat, aching chest muscles due to colds, makes breathing eaaier—but it actually helps break up congestion in upper bron chial tract, nose and throat.

Molrers of GROVE’S COLD lABliTS ‘Transplants’ Need Careful Sowing, Tending Seedlings Must Be Started Early to Be Ready in Spring The home gardener who grows his own plants for transplanting must begin early for early crops, say gar den specialists of the U. S. depart ment of agriculture’s research ad ministration. In the northern two-thirds of the country, tomatoes, peppers, egg plants, cabbage, cauliflower and sometimes lettuce, onions, beets, cu cumbers, squashes and melons are often started indoors or in a cold- frame. In the south a sheltered place in the open with good sun is suitable.for the plant bed for the hardier crops. Nearly all state agricultural colleges and the U. S. department of agriculture have home garden bulletins with tables of dates for safe planting or transplanting in the open. There is also information on how much earlier than these dates seed should be planted indoors or in the eoldfreme. Cabbage, for ex ample, should be planted eight weeks earlier than the safe outdoor date. There are commercial chemical dust treatments to prevent rotting of seeds or damping off of seedlings. Not all seeds need it, and some seeds can not safely be treated with certain of the chemicals, but a considerable number can be treated with any of the compounds. The usual small packet can be treated by adding to it the powder that can be put on the tip of the blade of a pocket knife.

Merchant Marine Men Need Books to Read on Voyages A campaign to collect a million books for the merchant marine was launched by the Benevolent and Pro tective Order of Elks. The need for reading matter is great, since the government does not provide for American seamen in this important regard, and men on long and dan gerous voyages have little to light en the monotonous days. Then too, many seamen would welcome the opportunity for self-education if the necessary books were at hand. James Nicholson, chairman of the Elks War commission, urges each of the 650,000 members of B.P.O.E. to donate at least one book. The re mainder needed to make up the mil lion total volumes will be obtained from people outside the fraternity, it is planned. Any sort of books are acceptable. Old or new novels, textbooks and technical works, biographies, histo ries—any kind of book that will give a lopesome seaman a few hours of relaxation, instruction or in spiration, are wanted. Books may be sent to the nearest Elks lodge. The special postal rate is only three cents a pound, up to 70 pounds. Ev ery donor will receive an acknowl edgement of his generosity.' The B.P.O.E. will handle the distribu tion of the books to men at sea. The campaign, which was organ ized in resnonse to a request by Mrs. Alice S. Howard, president of the American Merchant Marine as sociation, will continue until Apr!’ | 15. obtained from the U. S. department of agriculture, Washington 25, D. C. State experiment stations also sup ply information on this point. Flats for planting are shallow boxes made about three inches deep. Coarse soil is put in the bottom, and the box is then filled to the top with a screened mixture of one- half composted soil and one-half sand. It is desirable to firm the soil especially well around the edges. Seed is often planted too deep. In general one-fourth Inch deep in rows two inches apart will do. Plant enough seed as a rule to have a stand of ten to twelve plants to the foot to start. Then firm the sand with a block of wood. It is desirable to water flats through a piece of burlap to pre vent washing out the seeds. Using a pane of glass over the flat for 5 or 6 days will help keep the soil moist and prevent formation of a crust. Good locations for flats are in a south window or in a hotbed Day temperatures of 60 to 70 de grees and night temperatures of 45 to 50 degrees are all right for the hardier things. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants need 70 to 80 degrees during the day and about 60 de grees at night. New Type Gas Mask We’ghs Only 2.8 Lbs.

He’s seen its rays illumine forms Throughout the passing years; Dispersing darkness from its path. And scattering old fears. He’s groped and stumbled toward the light. With blunder and mistake. He’s watched with eagerness it fall O’er forest, field and lake. And slowly, slowly, has this light Made evil disappear. Before it ignorance has gone And superstition drear. Before it there have been dispelled Wrong and mistaken thought. Absurd ideas, backward trend Has been reduced to nought.

They have a new assault gas mask for greater protection, and highly improved chemical war fare weapons to retaliate in kind. The new mask, manufactured by the Firestone Tire and Rubber com pany, was developed by the chemi cal warfare service development laboratory at the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, and has al ready been in action on the beaches of Normandy. It is replacing the older type of mask for use by para troops, armored forces, assault in fantry and amphibious troops as fast as mass production will permit. The new streamlined mask is keeping pace with the rapid changes in modern military strategy and is adapted to present highly mech anized warfare. The revolutionary mask is light in weight, comfortable to wear and convenient to carry. Without sacrifice to safety, its re sistance to breathing is low and the mask, when worn or carried, does not impair the activities of the mod ern soldier. Being sufficient in one piece, the assault mask completely eli minates the rubber hose tube and cumbersome carrier case contain ing the canister of the old type. The new canister is flatter in design and screws directly into the side of the face piece, which permits a fight ing man to wear the mask with a minimum of interference — espe cially in regard to rifle firing. The complete assault mask, including facepiece, canister and carrier, weighs approximately 2.8 pounds as compared to the original service mask combination of nearly 9 pounds, smart about it Instead of telling all your friends that you were in a drift about him; instead of giving him the old Sadie Hawk ins rush act; instead of wearing your heart upon your sleeve—you did your swooning in private; you dated other boys; you act ed almost normally every time he spoke to you.

Is This Farm House of the Future? This model home for the well-to-do farm family won first prize in a contest sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders ol the U. S. It was designed by Charles Nixon, who was awarded a $1,000 war bond. The honse incindes a living room, dining room, large kitchen, a first floor lavatory and a “mod” room. There are five bedrooms and two baths on the second floor. The “basic unit,” that is the house without the addition on the right, could be built for about $9,200, not including land. The small added building, which is a large garage with living quarters above it for a second hired man, would cost abont $1,200 more.
