Prompt Planting Living Yule Tree Needs Watering,
If you’ve bought a living , Christmas tree, uon’t keep it in ; doors too long. The 'emptation is . great to have the ornamented ; greenery grar. the living room i for days after the ifuletide. But you will enhance its chances for j survival if you plant the tree as I soon as possible after Christmas, advises W. R. Strickland, field representative of the Davey Tree Expert Co. Above all. when the balled plant is in a heated 1 oom. be sure to water the roots dinly. Dried-out roots are a distinct handicap to the evergreen and contribute greatly to tlie transplanting mor tality rate. In setting out the tiec. be care ful to place it In a pit of ample size. Use only a good grade top soil or garden loam for the fill back. And don't plant your tree below the grade at which it originally grew. In ether words,1 the top of tire bin lapped ball should be level with the adjoin ing ground. The Christmas tree tn. splant will need an "overcoat' mulch to help it survive frigia blasts and deep root freezing. This means heavy layers of peac moss, salt hay. straw or other suitable cov ering material should be applied immediately after planting. Keep ing out frost for the balance of the Winter is desirable for the continuing good health of Uie evergreen. Mr. Strickland sounds another precautionary note. More than
likely your living Christmas tree is a fir, spruce or pine. Each be comes quite large. So plant your tree where there will be plenty of sun end space for development into a rally beautiful, well pro poP miied specimen Longwood (iolf iConlinufd from Pciqc 1' quiries by those interested is wel comed by officers, it was an nounced.

'Oh, My Aching Back!' Needn't Hurt Housewife CINCINNATI —"Oh, my aching buck’" the housewives' complaint • could become as outdated as th* butter churn if the queens of the home would relax with their chores, a University of Cincinnati heallh authority declared here re ceritly. No Reason for Strain Prof Helen N Smith, head of Cincinnati university's department of women -', physical and health education, sees no reason why homework should produce strains, pairs, and flabbiness.

Here is the secret: Know arid observe the proper ways of stand ing. walking, climbing, stooping, lifting, pushing, pulling, and carry ing heavy objects. These are a few Hints, as of fer -d by I’rof. Smith: When you stoop over to pick things up or put things in the oven, go down on one knee, keep ing the trunk erect Bending from the hips and spine, with the knees Straight, will make drudgery of your work, give you backaches and wide, spreading hips. Your work tables, ironing board, and sink should be the proper height for you. so that you do not have to bend over them or hunch up to tnem. Don’t let a salesman tell you how high they should be. Have them fitted to you Way To Bend When hanging out clothes, kneel down to the basket on a high rest go yikt don’t have to stoop. Don't tend over from the hips and spine. Sweeping is a wonderful hip ex ercise, if you use them —your hips, that is. Much better than just push ing a broom with your shoulders.
