Easter.Can
Be Feast Day
for Reducer
If you are one of the thousands
of persons who are trying to shed
excess poundage via the reducing
diet route, the mention of Easter
dinner probably doesn't excite
much interest. For to the average
person following a strict reducing
program, Easter means just an
other special feast day for “the
other fellow,” when you must sit
by and watch him enjoy the pro
verbial roast leg of lamb with all
the “fixin’s.”
But listen to this! The business
of being a martyr gastronomically
is out of date, when it comes to
reducing. Science has found that
the person seeking to reduce can
and should eat well, not only on
Easter Sunday but on every other
day in the year. Research work at
Rush Medical College in Chicago
has proved conclusively that ex
cellent results can be obtained by
the use of a liberal well-balanced I
diet. In this study the meals pre
scribed to a large group of pa
tients of varying ages were high
in protein, and included meat,
bread, butter, vegetables, salad,
fruit, eggs and coffee or tea.
4 So don’t despair. The delicious
roast leg of lamb and most of the
“fixin’s” can be yours, without the
slightest twinge of conscience, if
you will only abide by a few sim
ple rules.

PRUNING
Many people do not fully
derstand how and when to
trees and shrubs. A large nuberf
of people seem to be of the opin
ion that the only time trees can
be properly pruned is in the win
ter when they are dormant.
Trees may be pruned any day
in the year without serious in
jury if weather conditions
right (not too hot or dry). With
out any doubt, the early spring,
just as the new growth starts,
the ideal* time to prune for the
wound made by sawing off a
| limb will heal more quickly at other this
season than, it would at any
time. New growth is more active
1 in the early spring.
It is important to have wounds
heal quickly, especially to have
the scar tissue form just where the
bark and the wood join, for it is at
this point that germs that pro
duce decay are most likely to en
ter. Late fall, after growth has
ceased is perhaps the poorest time
of the year to prune trees for the
same reason that two or three
months will pass before the tree
will do anything toward healing
the wound.
Pruning principles:
1. Heavy top pruning of a plant

causes more leaves and branches.
2. Heavy root pruning
vegetative growth but increases
the production of flowers and
fruit.
3. A pruned plant always tends
to resume its natural habit.
4. The uppermost buds of a
plant grow first.
5. Heading - back of young
growth forces the development of
I the side buds.
6 - Checking growth in a healthy
j plant induces flowers and fruit
fulness-girdling a twig or bend
ing or twisting it causes the food
which is manufactured by the
leaves to remain in the injured
twig rather than being carried
away to the trunk and roots.
Pruning operations:
1. Make all wound clean.
2 . Make all cuts parallel and
close to the branch that is left.
3. Never leave a stub if it is
j possible to avoid it.
4. When heading - back twigs
I cut just above a healthy bud
pointing in the desired direction.
5. Wound made in the spring
heal faster than those during the
summer. "
6 . In removing large branches,
first undercut until the caw binds,
then cut down from the top until
the branch snaps off. This prevents
the stripping down of the bark
on the trunk. Wounds should be
painted with an antiseptic dress
ing, particularly those over two
inches across.
Reasons for pruning: .
1. To remove diseased, dead,
broken or crossed branches.
2. To renew and rejuvenate old
plants.
3. To shape a plant for some
special purpose, such ,s ,
or sheared specimen.
4. To eliminate suckers or “wild
growths.”
5. To hold a plant within
bounds.
6 . To secure new growth for
winter color.
7. To obtain larger flowers.

“Atlanta Journal” and “Garden

DETAILS ON BABY’S DIET
It is easy sometimes, in working
out menus for your baby to over
emphasize certain portions of tha
diet. Take milk, for instance. Now
milk is a food vital to every baby's
diet, but because of all the empha
sis placed on it there is a tendency
to stress its importance at the ex
pense of other foods. It is just as
essential that your baby have other
food to supplement the milk diet—
oi-ange instance, juice and tomato juice, for
cod liver oil, and along
about the fourth or fifth month a
little extra bulk in the form of
finely strained fruits and vege
tables. Now these strained foods
add needed vitamins and minerals
and are an important factor in
your baby's growth and develop
ment, minimize so nothing their should ha done to
value in the menu.
Be sure to offer each new strained
food at the beginning of the meal
when baby is hungry and his inter
est is keen. And give just a small
taste at first, too, say a teaspoonful
combined with an equal amount of
water or the baby’s milk formula,
increasing first gradually, retaining the
amount of water, until the
required portion of strained foods
is the being ready-to-serve taken just as it comes from
tin. On no ac
count, is it wise to give baby his
™ ilk fl rs t *s the average child will

If your baby shows a dislike for
a certain food to which he is not
allergic, insist that he take a small
taste at the beginning of the meal

The usefulness of a “flat” or seed
box is not confined to the early
spring, when seeds may be started
indoors, or in the hotbed and cold
frame.
Even after danger of frost is over,
and seeds might be sown directly
in the ground, it will still pay to
use the seed-box for the very small
seeds, like petunias; and for varie
ties of both flowers and vegetables
which require to be transplanted.
The seed-box is under closer ob
servation than even a seed bed; it
may be carried to a shady spot
during an excessively warm spell.
It can be kept where the hose is
handy, and soaked daily. The seed
ling plants may be kept growing they
without a check, and, when
are ready to move, transplanting
may be more easily performed by
carrying the flat directly to the spot
where the plants are to be set out.
The management of the “flat” is
the same, whether it be used out
doors or indoors. The standard
sizes range from 12x18 to 14x20
inches, 4 inches deep. They are
nailed together loosely, and it is not
necessary to bore holes in the bot
tom for drainage, as excess w f ater
will escape through the cracks.
The flat should be filled with a
fine loam, preferably sifted to get

able to overcome many a stubborn
little food whim before it has an
opportunity to develop into a posi
tive dislike. Then at the end of
the meal, let the baby have aa much
milk as he wishes. Once in a while
he may not take any at ail, but this
is no great cause for concern. He
may make up for it by drinking be 2

child will never be a great milk
drinker, but it is easy enough tc
make up for this by using large
quantities for in cooking, desserts, as milk in creamy toast,
puddings creamed vegetables and and
cereals cooked in milk. In soups, this
way,
you can easily work a pint into his
daily diet, and most children will
drink at least two cups of milk a
day on their own. If a child with
good habits and training in other
respects continues refusing milk,
then it would be wise to consult
with your physician, but in most
cases you can handle this matter
satisfactorily yourself with a little
skill and patience.
Do not hesitate at this time to
place great emphasis on solid food.
In most cases the milk matter will
regulate itself in time, and it is
of the greatest importance that

fine soil should be used on top.
When seedlings are grown in ar
outdoor box, it is not necessary to
transplant them into pota before
setting them directly in the garden.
But precautions should be taken to
avoid crowding so that the tiny
plants may grow as sturdy as possi
ble before they are moved. With
the coarser seeds, sow thinly in
rows 2 inches apart tind when the
seedlings appear thin out so that
each stands alone without crowding.
With the finer seeds, it will help
to broadcast the seed rather than
sowing in rows. Take a separate
flat for each variety and scatter
tiie seeds over the whole box. They
will have more room to grow this
way.
Transplanting may be done as
soon as plants have made true
leaves. This means the second pair
of leaves to appear. If they are
left in the box longer than this, they
should he thinned out, if necessary,
and allowed to develop without re

Slow germinating subjects are
usually best handled in a flat or
flower pot, w'-.ich can be given reg
