Know Your Language

T“1IE word “boycott" has estnb
■ lished a firm place for itself in
the English Language, although it
made its first appearance only a
little more than fifty years ago.
The word derives from a Captain
Boycott, a land agent in County
Mayo, Ireland, whore difficulties
with the Irish Land League in ISSO
brought it into use. The word, in
varying forms? is also found in the
French, German. Russian and oths.
European Languages.
What is wrong with this sentence?
“I am going to do my hair like
you do yours.”
The sentence should read—
“l am going to do my hair as
you do yours." One thing is like
another. You do a tiling as someone
else does it.

Rock Garden Flowers
YOU want your rock garden to tie.
come more beautiful as time
goes on. To achieve this, grow a
variety of carefully selected per.
ennials. Care for them as carefully
as you select them.
By growing and spreading from
year to year, perennials fill the
chinks and spaces, taking away the
newness. They give the pleasing
effect of having been there for a
long time.
Following is a list of 24 peren
nials excellently suited to the rock
garden: Hardy Alyssum, Colum
bine, Arabis or Rock Cress, Ar
meria, Aubrietia, English Daisy (or
Bellis Perennis), Harebell (or
Campanula Carpatlca), Siberian
■Wallflower. Snow-in-Summer, Hardy
Pink, Coral Bells (or Heuchera),
Linutn (or Flax), Forget-me-not,
Japanese Bellflower (or Platyco
don), Iceland Poppy, Hardy Prim
rose (or Primula), Stonecrop (or
Sedum Acre), and Viola Corhuta.
Most rock garden perennials
bloom in spring and early summer,
presenting only foliage effects the
remainder of the season. There are
many appropriate annuals that may ।
bo used to keep the rock garden in ;
flower in the summer. Annuals are
also helpful for securing color and
foliage masses during the first sea
son or two of a rock garden, when I
perennialii are not yet well estab
lished. Annuals are also useful for
covering any bare spots which may
appear.
The list of annuals suitable for
the rock garden Includes the fol
lowing: Sand Verbena, Dwarf Floss
Flower (or Ageratum), Carpet-of-
Snow Alyssum, Little Gem Alys
sum, Brachycome (or Swan River
Daisy), China Pink, African Daisy,
California Poppy, Lobelia Celestial,
Ice Plant, Baby Blue Hyes, Hare
bell Phacelia, Phlox Drunnnondi,
Moss Rose (or Portutaca), Bounc
ing Bet (or Saponaria), Poor Man’s
Orchid (or Schizanthus), Thun
bergfa (or Black-Eyed Susan), Sea
Lavender (or Statice), Verbena,
Virginian Stock, and Nieretnbergia
Hlppomanica (Dwarf Cup Flower).

KEEP a jar of chopped Brazil
nuts in a cool dry place on your
pantry ebelf. Mixed with sugar
and spice they make an excellent
lopping for the busy day cake.
With the following nut topping no
frosting is necessary. Mix one
cup chopped Brazil, nuts with one
tablespoon granulated sugar, one
half teaspoon cinnamon and one
quarter teaspoon ground allspice
and nutmeg mixed. Sprinkle over
cake batter before baking. This
amount is sufficient topping for cake
baked in a nine-inch square pan.

Department and five and dime
stores are featuring an amazing little
nut cracker especially designed to
remove the shell ot the Brazil nut.
Controlled pressure of the nut

Founder or Usters patny
Andrew Taylor Still, founder of os
teopathy. was bom near Jonesboro,
Va.. in 1828. He formed in Missouri,
studied medicine at Kansas City and
saw service in the Civil war. In
1864, when three of his children died
of spinal meningitis, he devised the
treatment known as osteopathy and
practiced as an itinerant physician
for some years. He settled in Kirks
ville, Mo., in 1887. and developed a
large practice. Five years later he
opened the Amercan School of Os
teopathy there. He died in 1917.
