Arlington Ave. surveyed her porch full of plants the other day and said to me, “Well, I said last spring I'd never take so many plants indoors again. “But I can’t leave them out to freeze, can I? So I suppose I will.” Luckily her son-in-law, R. T. Holland, aids and abets her in her winter gardening.

s » » “TREAT yourself to the best,” shrieks a well-known radio .program. Applying this to gardening, Mrs.’ Ernest Rabourn, McGregor Road, Acton, says, “I've

learned my lesson. Hereafter if I don't buy but one plant a year, I'll buy the best. “We put in a lot of easy-to-raise things when we started out and now we've had to dig out so much rudbeckia, mullein rose, old iris and Memorial daisies I'm tired of them.” 8 « 4 ONE of my favorite houseplanters showed me a. pot full of feathery green last winter. It was plain garden asparagus. You can pick the seed even after frost and it will germinate, she says.

Then after you've enjoyed the greenery all winter you can, if you're a vegetable gardener, too, set out the young plants. » » # YOU can still sow rye for that winter cover crop. Sowing this late you'll need more seed per square foot. And if you've never tried rye as a garden booster you'll not believe what a soil improver it is. Don't forget that it's the perfect answer to that wail of next spring, “But I can't get manure and if I could, it's too expensive.”

Beauty— Make Facials

Regular Hahjt

By ALICIA HART : NEA Staff Writer WE FREQUENTLY hear women complain that the trouble with this

.or that beauty practice is the need to

keep it up. Facials are invariably a case in point. “If facials are to be of any value,” women say with a shrug, “you have to keep them up.” Of course you do. But what Is

“there that a woman does to im-

prove her looks which doesn’t have

"to be “kept up’? Manicures have

to be. Else nails go to pieces. - - # ” HAIR that isn't washed.and set regularly suffers as sad a plight. Make-up is applied every day by the woman who is particular about the way she looks. So why should facials—needed by every woman who wants to keep the marks of age off her skin—be expected to escape a routine of regularity any more. than other beauty practices? The care of the skin—which is what a facial is—should be considered as important by the older woman as a regular manicure, make-up and ‘shampoo-and-set.

Cancer Curable

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M.D. FEWER DEATHS from certain varieties of cancer have followed earlier reporting and better treatment. Some forms are increasing in spite of control efforts. When early cancers of the uterus are treated, the majority of the patients are permanently cured, but the percentage of cures is small when those who are treated come after the disease is far advanced. If every woman had a complete examination of her pelvic organs every six months and proper treatment was given at odce if cancer was found, it would not be long before cancer of the uterus would be a rare disease,

today, probably because of better methods of diagnosis, but there is a real increase as well. Suggested reasons for this are tar irritations from excessive smoking and use of tar in manufacturing and building roads. Cancer of the skin is rarely seen in indoor male workers or in women. It is more common in the south, because of greater exposure to the irritating effects of sunlight.

. ” . IT IS estimated that about one~ third of all cancers are curable with methods now available. Better results will follow through cooperation of patients in reporting early signs and symptoms, and ih having periodic examinations while they are apparently well, Physicians also are more conscious of their part in cancer control, They aim to discover the disease earlier and, if they do not treat the form which is detected, they refer the patient to someone who does as quickly as possible, | Even though cancer deaths may go up as the number of older per-
