Infornul planting, say the experts, is the most suitable (or the average flower garden. True, it is possfble with very large grounds and skilled help to do sometbiog with straight, dignified rows and borders. But in the average ease planting irregular- ly in clumpa will produce the moat ;, Weaaiug effects. Such planting too, wiil add jn air of spaciousness, giv- ^ •;(f'en tiny backyard gardens the ^tance of much larger affaiia. -^ *r- Set Off By A Lawn caa^where at all possible there should f^"^ be a bit of a lawn In the foreground with an irregularly shaped bed of flowers arouni' the edges and. possib- ly, groups of sbrubs set at the cor- ners. Screening of harsh, straight lines about the house and drives with clumps of flowers and shrubs and an occasional trailing vine over veran- dahs or garages will bring the whole thing together it will give the home the appearance of being part of the landscape rather than some rigid af- fair sticking out of the earth. Veoetable Rows Straight Vegetables on the other hand, should be planted in straight rows! But here, too, a little planning will help. There are a great many new varieties now available in Canada and by the liber.l use of some of these newer things, and by adopting the rule to make at least three sowings of each variety a week or ten days apart, production can be materially increased. The big advantage of the vegetable garden right at the door is freshness, but to get full value In this respect it is important to have a new supply coming akmg frequently. Therefore, the modorn gardener in- stead of planting all his peas, let- tuce, or carrots ou the same day, puts some in the first week and more a little later. Britain Wants "Fitter People" Will Hssist Gymnasiums And Playing Fields â€" Sault Work Voluntary Over m London, Parliiiuenl has adopted what is described as a "three year plan for a fitter Britain," a plan which involves a capital expenditure by the government of $2,000,000 in three years to assist in providing fa- cilities for physical training and re- creation, such as gymnasiums, play- ing fields, switnmiuK bath.-., camping sites and club and community centres. The main object of the scheme says London papers, is to provide adequate opportunities . f physical recreation for young persons and adults whose live.s are normally passed in offices and workshops. But back of all this Is the realization of the need for To Alkalize Acid Indigestion Away Fast People Everyivhere Are Adopting This Remarkable" Phillips" Way The way to jjain almo.st incredibly quick relief, from stomach condition arising from overacidity, is to alka- lize the stc-nach quiciily with Phil- liji-s Milk of Magnesia. You lake either two teaspoons of the liquid Phillips' after meals; or two Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Tab- lets. Almost instantly "acid indiges- tion" goes, gas from hyperacidity, "acid -headaches"â€" from over-in- dulgence in food or snioliing â€" and nau.sca are relieved.

Inc. 70 Piftb A»e., N»w York Cit» something of the kind which arose from the discovery that 40 per cent of those e.xamined for millt;try service had to be tmncil down as physically unfit. In such count ries as Onrniany and Russia attention to physical develop- ment Is looked upon as definitely one of the fuaetious of government. In Britain however, the comp'ilsory fea- ture will not be adopted, the new scheme being entirely voluntary. In Canada, although Hug> Plaxton, .VI.P., recently proposed a Minister of Sport, such things - not ordinarily considered part of the work of the government. Ontario has an Athletic Commission, but its work is really just regulatory. In grade schools and high schools attention is given to the physical ti-aining and muuicipalitios assi t ill providing playing fields. .\side from that, things are usually left to volunteer piiv; e effort. In the Sault, for example, there are such in- s:ituions as the Y.M.C.A., the boys' community camp, the various activi- ties carr'sid on by service clubs and churches, the various hockey and other leagues, the neighbourhood rink in;ivoment, and other activiiies^ sup- ported for the most -lart by popular subscription. In carrying m t its plan, the British government pioposes to: Establish two National .\dvisory Councils â€" one for Kngland and Wales â€" and one for Scotland â€" each composed of 30 members, to sur- vey the nation's need of physical re- creation facilities and advise on the best methods of meeting them. Establish two Grants Committees, each of three members, .through which grants will be made fo volun- tary organizations ami local authori- ties. Invite the .Vdvisory Councils to or- Kunize local couiinittees to develop and co-ordinate t liweork in the vari- ous localities and to advise the Grants Committees on the distribution of the local grants. Kstablish a National College of Phy. sicul Training. .Make a giant to the .National Play- ins Kields Association, for the provi- sion of more piayiOg fields: and Make " grant to the Central Council of Recreative Physical Training, to assist it to promote lh<> supply of tea- chers and leaders until (he Training College Is ready. The purpose, said .Mr, Oliver Stan- ley is to give people opporluuilios for exercise in order to "make their lives happier, their work easier, (heir lei- sure more enjoyable." The results of the plan will bi' watched with inter- est. ^Scratching '• RELIEVE ITCHING In A Minut9 ETen the mmt ilulilwra itcliiin of trionia, blolcbMk plmplra. «tblfl»'» foot, raabu kihI iillm tkia erup. tiooj, <|iuckl.v yifld.

Robert Hoppock, assistant director of the Natlona' Occupational Confer- ence, told the conference that bosses ''don't want women stenographers or secretaries to cramp their stylo. ' 'Tt's getting increuslugly harder iu many cities to find male secretaries and stenographers." Hoppock added, adequate precautions have been talteu to protect the articles from injury by moths. The c'othing and o her .irticles after being thoroughly brushed, pre- ferably In strong sunlight, should be placed in well-made trunks or chests with tightly fitting lids, or enclosed in cotton or paper bags, or in cardboard boxes sealed with paper strips. En- closing clothing ia two thicknesses of strong wrapping paper, or several thicknesses of newspaper, taking care that the edges are so turned that no moths may gain entrance, is .ilso re- commended as an alternative measure of precaution. When carpets or rugs are supected of being nfested with moth larvae, the carpets should be thoroughly cleaned on both sides with a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners may also be used for removing the lint from floor cracks, behind baseboards, and air shafts of central beating equip- ment, where infestation frenuently oc- ci>rs.

Away from Home Westbrook Pegler, in New York World-Telegram writes: Hotel me and Pullman conductors report that people nowa<lays conduct themselves very badly when they get away from home for a few days. They throw their ashes everywhere and flip hot cigarettes on to the carpets or leave them burning on the furniture. They shine their shoes with the towels. They get drunk and break furniture. They how and carry on far into the night, to the distress of g'.:ests who are not playful but wish to sleep. They throw food about the rooms and bottle out the windows. They keep the help a-run- ning until all hours. On the t: ins they crowd into drawing rooms and compartments and sing dirty songs, the ladies as well as the gentlemen, in a manner to be heard by passengers who are neither drunk nor obscene, and they drive well-behaved people out of the club cars with their goins-on. Judge Suggests Rolling Pin Act When a wife at Hull, England, suggested that tliere was "another woman," the stipendiary, Mr. R. Macdonald, said: â€" "Why don't you women try the effect of a rolling pin, and say to your husbands: 'If you put your head over the fence at another wo- man again, down it will come.' " "I will try it next time," said the wife.. Young Ontario Brides Writes the Brockvilie Recorder and Times: The talk having turned to youthful brides, statistics show the average age in Ontario to bo lowering in recent years. Seventy per cent of the brides of 11)3-1 were under 26. In 1921 the percentage for the same age bracket was sixty- eiglit. In 1113 1 live per cent were under 18, ten years previously only three and one-half per cent. The biggest percentage age is 21.

The Worst of Jutland The real tea drinker cannot go very long without his tea! Alfred Noyes tells a delightful story about one of them. During the war he was writing up important incidents and was as- signed to interview sailors right af- ter the battle of Jutland. He found a sailor who had been sent aloft, and had to stay there dur- ing the whole engagement with half- tou shells hurtling past bis head. Thinking to get an exciting "story"' from him, .Mr. Noyes asked him to describe his sensations during those terrifying hours. All the man said was: "Well, of course, 1 had to miSi my tea!'* Puzzled Motorist (to friend): "How much petrol is in the tank. Bill?"

Prisoner: "Well, your worship, they arc the only ones that you can swindle." One Way of Thinking The president of a firm of cleaners and renovators held up a garment for his foreman's inspection. "You see what 1 mean. Wiffle," he said, 'and look the other dresses bear me out. Look" â€" he turned over a pile and brought several articles of ladies' wear into view â€" "notice how those dresses that were re-colored by the older men are streaked and spot- ted, while these here" â€" he indlcateil the pile on the left â€" '"which were done by the yornger 1 aps are per- fect." "Ah, yes," said the foreman. 'The old fellows have lost their eyesight for snch work. I'd get rid of them, but it's a hard thing for me to do. For some of (hem have been with us forty years or more.' "1 know," remarked the president, "but Ihey must go. Hemiuiiber, -Id fellow, that only the young dye good!" Value of an Opinion '•Everybody is entitled to his own opinion.''
