PAGE TWO Jackson County Home Demonstration News (Leila Bates, H. D. A.) Flower Beds Almost anybody likes flowers, whether he is willing to acknowledge his liking or not. Flowers in the wrong place or skimply planting make a poor impression, but flower* in mass, quantities of them as one sees them by the roadside, or in an old field, or in the woods, nature’s arrangement cannot fail to make a good impression. The front yard is no place for a flower bed. The simplicity of a clear unbroken lawn always makes for beauty. The sweep of u large lawn is restful, cool and inviting. The smaller the lawn, the greater thp reason, for keeping it unbroken. It may be formal with straight walk and neat edging, or with border and a formal planting at the base of the house, but there is never an excuse for breaking it with the flower beds or specimen shrubs except one’s own personal taste, and, since the front of the house is necessarily public, one should keep to the pri vacy of the rear or side yard for the expression of one’s personal likes. The flower garden in the back or side yard may need to be formal, be cause of little room. It may be laid out in any design one chooses and planted to the flowers one likes, in any combinations. In the formal garden, one may use sheared shrubs, but they are out of the place in the front yard. Many a pretty group is spoiled because the individual plants that compose it are picked out by being sheared to some unnatural shape, thus calling attention to the individual, rather than the mass, of •which each plant is only a party. Nature is lavish with the flowers, scattering informally without thought t)f color or size of growth, yet never making mistakes in her combinations. Something of the natural may be attained, even in the smallest yard, by arranging the flowers along the border. Flowers show to best ad vantage against a back ground of some sort. That may be a fence or a building, but if it be a living back ground of trees or shrubs, so much the better. The foilage of the woody plants contracts favorably in tex ture and color with the flowers and foilage of the herbaceous plants, making a pleasing effect that is not gained otherwise. A well trimmed grass plot in the back yard, sur rounded by a screen of shrubs lined with beds of flowers affords privacy and seclusion, a delightful place for quiet reading or an afternoon tea or an evening party, a place where one may dig and plant and weed un molested and unseen by the passer by. There are plenty of native flowers that are quite the equal of expen sive sxotics. Some of them may be weeds in the field, but in the border they are not, and each fills its place satisfactorily. It is surprising how these wild things respohd to good care, developing luxuriant foilage, larger blossoms and deeper colors. The wild flowers i?iay be taken up and re-set at any time with reson able success, if one is careful to get the roots and to protect them from drying. Then it is best to cut the tops to prevent too great a loss of moisture. , Flowers may be grouped accord ing to size or color if one wishes. Tall growing plants may be at the back or may stand out to emphasize some feature. Small plants rtiay be bedded in masses or may nestle under the taller ones, making a fringe about their feet. If by reason of one’s enthusiasm the border becomes so deep that all parts cannot be reached easily from the grass plot, stepping stones may be laid to suit the convenience of the gardener. The listed textile mills in the eight southern states installed an additional 322,768 spindles during the past year, raising the total num ber of spindles for the 1,289 mills to 49,928,679, according to figures just released by the Textile Bulletin, trade magazine. South Carolina showed an increase of 196,781 spin dles in 1934. North Carolina rank ed second in the gain in spindles during the year with 70,918, while Georgia was third with an increase of 61,008 spindles. South Carolina with 5,552,012 spindles in jJace was second to North Carolina in this in stance, Massachusetts was third and Georgia ranked fourth.

THE CCC CAMPS ONE OF THE PRESIDENT S WISEST PROJECTS Occasionally we hoar someone criticizing the establishment of the Civilian Conservation Camps. We are convinced that such criticisms are from those already biased against the administration and unwilling to accord credit for any acts it may do; or from those who have failed to give due consideration and do not realize the purpose of these camps nor the real work they are accom plishing. It is a fact that at the beginning of the year 1933 this country was dangerously near a revolution, a Condition realized by political lead ers and sedulously concealed by the metropolitan newspapers. The as sembling of the ex-world war soldiers in Washington the year before was but one of the symptoms of the un rest that existed throughout the Country from the Atlantic to the Rio Grande. The segregation of these unem ployed young men into camps was not merely a great humanitarian movement; it was all this in its broadest and best sense; but it was more, it was a wise and far sighted movement in organizing the nucleus of a trained soldiery stationed at strategic centers throughout the country ready for any emergency that might arise. These young men were chosen with the same care that an army would be drafted in so far as physi cal fitness goes. Their officers and leaders were trained men, who knew how to drill and season them for the duties. Their organization, caused no mis leading excitement, rather it tended to soothe growing unrest among the most easily aroused members of society, young men, who had no jobs. A wiser movement could not have been conceived nor put in action at that time nor one fraught with greater possibilities and responsi bilities. We cannot commend too highly this movement of the presi dent.—Carroll Times. HARTWELL SUN WRITER ON REPEAL The wet papers are telling us a bout how much is coming jnto tht treasuries of the various states as revenue for the liquor sold; but they say little about the homes and lives blighted, wives made widows, chil dren orphaned, murders and other crimes committed as the direct re sult of legalized liquor. Boake Car ter, spokesman for Philco radio, was for the repeal of the 18th amend ment. And yet he told us some weeks ago that since repeal deaths from drunken driving had increased 24 per cent to those in cars, and to pedestrians the increase was 55 per cent. That is, strong testimony from a repealist. However, he does not seem to blame repeal. The increas ed danger concerned us all; for whether we own or ride in cars our selves or not, we all have friends who do, and we are interested for them. What will Georgia do? Shall we surrender to the liquor crowd and the lawless element, all for the sake of saving a little in taxes? The question is before us.

She was carried by plane from her Western home to the hos pital in the Fast, and the “upside down” stomach was set right in a prolonged operation of peculiar dif ficulty by Dr. P. E. Truesdale, a noted surgeon. When she was placed on the op erating table, Dr. Truesdale, who had performed similar operations successfully, had expected to let the organs move slowly and gently down from the chest to the almost empty abdomen. They were born in the wrong place. Four ribs were cut and removed. Through this opening it was seen that the chest space o;i the left side contained not only the lung, which is normally there, but also the stom ach, the small intestines, the appen dix all the large intestines, includ ing the appendix except for a dis tance of two feet the so-called de scending portion of the large intes tine. The spleen was also in the chest. Because of the presence of these abdonimal organs in the chest the left lung was shiveled and collapsed and the heart was shifted in its po sition from the left over toward the right side. The second phase of the operation consisted in the reduction of the hernia. This meant, first, freeing the space through which the organs had entered the chest wall from the adhesions there formed. Next, the other adhesions of the small and large intestines to the lung and the heart covering were severed. The surgeon, Dr. Philemon E. Trusedale, was now in a position to replace the displaced organs in the abdominal cavity. The third step of the operation consisted in clearing the opening in the diaphragm of all the surround ings adhesions. The opening was then closed by stitching the edges to gether along its entire length. This opening extended half through the thickness of the body, running from the center to the chest wall on the left side. The opening was five inches in length and measured three inches wide. The whole nation has awaited the result of the operation, and the crisis seems to have been passed. The little girl is regaining strength and appetite. When told that she could have chicken she said “If 1 could only take a wing in my fist and eat it I would think I really was having chicken.” She had the wing, just as she wished, and the little hu man interest story of her dinner was telegraphed to every state and pro voked smiles from millions of un known friends. Thousands of letters and gifts from strangers coming to a hospital bed on which a little girl is recover ing from one of the strangest, of surgical operations.

Use liquid treatment Here is the soundest advice anyone can give on the subject of laxatives. It is based on medical opinion. We want you to have the benefit of this information no matter what laxative you may buy: The secret of real relief from consti pation is reduced dosage. You can’t regulate the bowels unless you can regulate the help you give them. That is why doctors use a liquid laxative; the dose can be measured to a drop. Avoid laxatives that you can’t cut down in dosage; especially those that •eem to require larger doses than when you began their use. Under the doctor's care, you usual ly get a liquid laxative. The right liquid laxative gives the right kind of help, and the right amount of help. Smaller and smaller doses — until you don’t need any. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara —natural laxatives that form no habit.
