and as both Mr.Mussolini and Mr.Lloyd George have written in American papers, it may take yet more severe experience to call it to wisdom.How would a dose of tariff reciprocity administered by all the debt-ridden nations work out as a means of collecting those payments?To that the United States would be estopped from making objection.The cumulative presen cause of the world\u2019s distress centres in the Hawley-Smoot tariff.The chief sufferer from it is the United States itself whose treasury .it is to glut, whose commerce it stifles.It is a nation determined to cut itself off ffom mankind.Why not let it?The western farmer would, no doubt, be the primary sufferer, but it is notorious that it is the western farmer who 1s the chief obstacle to international goodwill.Furthermore, it is the west that suffers primarily from the Haw- ley-8moot tariff and with whom it lies to correct that, if it only would.War-guît V E were right in saying that the deepest difference be- MONTREAL, JULY 13, 1932.tween France and Germany was one of sentiment.The question of Germany's war guilt is more to both parties than any question of money.As to the money, Germany says she cannot pay; that is made up by letting her oft with about one per cent of her reported\u2019 debt.The sum she is responsible for is three billion marks, the interest of which she will have to pay beginning three years from now.France, which is not poor, can settle down to the conviction that it is far cheaper to give in considerably on that than to attempt to collect it from a people that has no means of raising the enormous sums hitherto assessed against her; also that tolerable business relations are economically worth to her far more than the money.But the question whether Germany was guilty of the war implies in the mind of France too much to be surrendered.In France's sight Germany is an incurable robber, who has twice within memory invaded her with ruthless destruction and would have crushed her this time had not other powers come to her ald.To deny Germany's war guilt would be to put France and her allies in the position of ruthless conquerors who had torn vast possessions from her on the mere plea of conquest and created a claim for the return of all these, or at least a right to reconquer them.The most of these possessions were recent seie- ures by Germany with no other excuse but the desire of having them.She speaks of them as her colonies but with little warrant as colonising Germans have gone elsewhere, rather than where they would be dragooned by German officialism of the Prussian military strain.Her claim for the Polish corridor is of an entirely different sort.- A Worrisome Falsehood Neo one accuses the present Germany of responsibility for the war, except in so far as she insists on appropriating the stigma by disputing it.It was purely the work of Prussian militarism, for which the Bismarck war machine, and not the German nation, is to be held guilty.But that machine not only was Germany as toward the world, but had, as wars generally have, the concurrence of the whole nation even to its high theologlans and even in its perjured violation of Belgium whose seaports Germany coveted.It is easy to talk endlessly round that question of war guilt and get lost in a mage of second causes.The invasion of France wasan overt act, and was wilful, the only excuse being that France had been cultivating alliances against her predatory habits.The chief trouble in this Lausanne settlement is due to the lie on this subject with which every succeeding government in Germany has misled the people.The present government of Hindenburg and Papen Inherits this embarrassment which has made Germany's escape from her tributary bondage 80 very difficult.Between powers ex- ceedipgly anxious to come to terms, the matter has been patched up in what is meant by the victorious powers to be a non-committal way.The elision of certain articles from the Versailles treaty, in so far as they refer to this matter of war guilt, is a wiping off the alate of that question.Whether it can or will be made out to be an acquittal may be open to $7th Year.SUBSCRIPTION PACTS INSIDG TWO DOLLARS A YRAR later discussion, when Germany makes demands upon it, as she is pretty sure to do.Indeed the leaders in her not Inglorious campaigns against the British in East and South West Africa are already demanding the return of these colonies.By so using it she will turn from herself the sentiment of goodwill which she has gained as opposed to an oppressive combination.\u201cAll the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten\u201d that matter in eternal history.It has been paid for, however.It belongs to the era of wars of conquest which, but for Japan, we m!zht hope is over.Roosevelt Tammany And Liquor LLIANCE with Alfred Smith and so with Tammany and all its lately exposed, and, what is worse, un- repented iniquities can only put Mr.Roosevelt down among the dregs of popular politics of the kind that Italy knew until with a black shirt spasm, it rose and threw off the guise of democratic constitutionalism to which it found itself unadapted.It is the end of a progressively downward journey.Mr.Roosevelt commenced his political career as an anti-Tam- many candidate and as such carried for the Democrats\u2014to the joy and strengthening of that section of the party that had some regard for political deceney\u2014a seat in the New York Senate that had been consistently Republican for twenty-eight years.Time, prosperity and ambition, with its too frequent flunkey, compromise, have done their work and Mr.Roosevelt who has pitched his tent ever closer and closer to the wigwam is now for all practical purposes inside.Not without reason has he sat inactive with dally evidence of Tammany infamy of office-holders whom he alone could remove; with an eye on the prospective aid of his new friends he has remained mute in the face of the colossal corruption revealed in the career of Tammany's present nominee in ihe mayoralty of New York, corruption condoned by the explanation, \u201cOh, yes! We all know how he got his million.But he has got It.\" .» .ME.SMITH ran his campaign of 1928 on the strength of the \u201csaloon\u201d vote without any other program or proclaimed purpose.The country was not prepared to accept that leadership.On the other hand, Mr.Roosevelt whose commendation is à Roosevelt gift for shouldering himself forward, feels he cannot win the day without its aid.Mr.Hoover's program is more prudent.There are many true prohibitionists who look for greater results from a convinced country than from one dragooned by government officers against its convictions.People who have all along seen as the most important value of the prohibition war the keeping alive of this conviction, who are more convinced than ever of this by seeing the conviction flag when the battle was won see advantage to the cause in a periodical campaign on the question.These, though they do not court the conflict it entalls are not averse om principle to a re-submission of the question and with that question to the front would necessarily prefer Mr.Hoover's attitude to the repeal one of Mr.Roosevelt.Any respectability that anti-prohibition attitude can get from such leaders as Dr.Nicholas Murray Came wo Butler will be utterly smirched by the alliance with the notorious representative of the accursed traffic.The City WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, JULY 13,

\u201cthere is still too much filth to be cleaned out of America\u2019s economic body.\u201d So far the extra money has all been absorbed in keeping banks and rallways from insolvency, and those to whom the public look for tokens of better times have still \u201cgrave doubts whether government money will be avatlable for any purpose except for bolstering up weak institutions.\u201d The Hoover plan was not to give money away, but with it to buy the national loan bonds thus reducing the nation\u2019s debt.Different from that seems to have been the granting by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation of eighty mii- lion dollars to a bank .in which General Dawes was interested, made under circumstances which point to the matter having been arranged before Mr.Dawes resigned the presidency of the Reconstruction Corporation.Besides much money of foreign investors scared away in a temporary panic as to an impending departure from the gold standard, some of the money injected into commerce finds its way to other countries where it seems, to those who a3 use it, to offer safer prospecta.Banks And Customers depression was Que to several .major causes acting and reacting upon each other.But the quick and universal and ill-judged action of the banks in re-calling loans advanced on securities the moment the securities held against those loans lost their market value, forced great volumes of securities to be sold at any price, thus swamping the entire market.Through these tidal waves of selling, started by the banks\u2019 timidity or by their attempt to saddle upon the borrower the whole loss on transactions that were mutually entered into, thousands of banks in the United States failed and many others were brought to the edge of the precipice.One might have thought that \u201ce banking authorities would have .ureseen that they would only ruin their customers and themaselyes by that policy.-Yet in spite of the inadequacy of their pedantic processes to deal with extreme cases the public services rendered by the banks make them absolutely essential to our present day economic system.If ever there was a time for a government with plethoric funds to intervene in business it is plainly now in helping the banks-and so their customers and the nation\u2014to stem the ebbing tide; more especially az it was governmental policies regarding tariffs and war debts among others which made the world sick in the first piace.It is plain also that nothing can bring substantial relief either to she banks or their customers but a=~ turn in the tide that could restore securities to their real earning value, whether stocks, bonds or mortgages, which represent the life savings of the people, many of whom may have been allowed to borrow more than they should.The banker who in such exceptional times would foreclose on a loan in order to take over the security, counting on a certain profit, wbuld be false both to the bank and to his customers.He would be equivalent to the graveyard insurance agent who buys up the policies of dying men who cannot meet their own premium payments; the agent knowing that in à year or two he will collect what should have gone to the man's family, or falling that, to his company.The Lessen claim is being over and over again made thai the process of recovery, which all look for, has started, but without evidence.No doubt when It does come the turn will be by a very gentle curve.80 far, there are daily variations in the price levels of standard stocks, but the best that can be said for these is that they keep bobbing at, let us hope, ihe bottom.There has for weeks been a surplus of disposable money at New York; but that barometer also hag risen and sunk.Though all keenly want surcease from present painful tension, both Mr.Mussolini and Mr, Lioyd George have raised the question whether the distress has yet been severe enough to prevent a repetition of the same old greedy £ntl-soctal program, with the result of again toppling over the edge of & worse precipice.How many.are mourning now that they did not cash in on their property or their holdings when these began to soar among fictitious clouds! If there should again be, as is very possible, an undue swing toward pros- Fsrity before we have reformed cur ways, we shall head towards a greater catastrophe.When the coin of success 1s in, wit is out.It may be possible for wise governments to discover some way of restraining mob madness in the monetary world.Very much economic wisdom has been waking in the master minds, considerably counteracted by immediate money inter esta that would be checked.But we have to confess that it is ourselves, the people, who have to be taught.An Imperial Curreacy T need not be said that the coming Rconomie Conference will have before it enough contentious matter of major importance to embarrass many long sessions of Parliament.It follows that nothing can be dealt with effectively other than in outline\u2014al- so that nothing can reach results that has not been as widely and more or less harmoniously matured in the minds of the parties to the conference as to be able to come before them in the form of broad propositions, whose content Is generally understood and admitted.It is wnder such conditions that the question, probably rather many questions, of currency are upon the agenda, some of which are very pressing.There is the question of & sommon currency for the Bmpire, involving the fate of the British £ :s:d.Shall the cumbrous pounds, shillings and pence nomenclature which, up till a hundred years ago held varied colloquial traditional sway in most countries give way in ils last great conservative stronghold whers it remains a cumbrous impediment to the universal commerce of which it has long been the acknowledged centre?Shall it be replaced by decimal denominations, easily convertible intg any other deei- mal currency?The adoption of an imperial decimal currency would not inconvenience us in Canada.Our dollar is now worth an eighth less than that of the United States, with the inconvenience of making the same goods seem 30 much dearer.The new unit, whatever it might be callèd, would be quite as easily convertible into another decimal currency.7 Changeless Values T question of colnage and currency is of immense practical importance, as we all see; and the present would be an invaluable occasion to cast off the fettering bondage to use and wont.It is not so vital, however, as another on which, as the fortunate result of recent appalling axpecience, expert economists have reached common consent.In spite of great interested or conservative opposition it will be agreed by economists that the world\u2019s currency can no longer rest on so unstable a commodity as gold, whose sudden scarceness has cumulatively had the most benumb- Ing effect on the countries which have most closely clung to it.Many bankers and financiers indeed combat the position.Many of the former are pedants, unable to think out of thelr ruts, mors of the latter have an in- terest in the present redoubled value of money and do nol wish to see things return to normal conditions, It is not to be denied that no other single commodity could repiace gold, which has through the ages served the needs of mankind better tan anything else could have done.It must also be allowed that at no previous age was it easily possible to ind a more fixed standard than gold by which to regulate and stabilize prices.Before the war that function was performed in a very valuable way for the business world by the Bank of England, which however, confined to gold as a ard.It issued paper against all gold brought to it and always paid out gold by weight against its paper.It could not, therefore, control the amount of its own paper afloat.But to regulate credit and so prices, it could do a good deal by varying the rate of discount.This, however, it could only apply in an empirical or rule of thumb way to correcting obvious tendencies to Inflation or deflation with no fixed scale to keep to.With a somewhat long record now of the fluctuations in the buying value of gold as indicated in the prices of standard commodities, It is now possible to base currency on a chosen and fixed average price list, and so to handle the issue of paper and of government securities as to keep that list from varying seriously, with the tremendous result that there would never again be such calamitous variations in prices as have recently taken place to the distress of all mankind.To the pyplic, changes from year to year, e to decade, generation to generation would be imperceptible, It might seem that this plan would be vitiated as applied to scattered countries in which the standard of living is widely different.But that difficulty is largely unreal.With the plan once adopted, it makes practically little difference what period was chosen or in what country.None of us knows or cares why the sero-mark on thermometers is where it is.It seems quite whimsical.Without enquiry, we assume that it must have suited somebody somewhere.Nevertheless, for all climates, for refrigers- tion, for hot baths, for Sahara's heat, for Himalaya\u2019s cold, we all find Fahrenheit equally useful.Justice Undone ANADA'S journey towards the stage when our law will be as little regarded as that of the United States has taken another step with the yielding of Ottawa to the persistent préssure directed towards enabling the swindling and bucketing brokers to escape the just consequences of the crimes of which they were convicted.Man after man is being released with a substantial proportion of his sentence still to run, We are told that in accordance with the usual procedure when clemency is extended no statement or explanation is forthcoming.Will similar clemency be extended to the convicted Communists who have done much less to overthrow our \u201cestablished institutions\u201d than any one of the well groomed swindlers?Arguments used in defence of this wrongheaded use of a precious prerogative, for example, that the brokers are already punished in the loss of reputation and of their buai:esses apply equally to other types of offenders\u2014abscouding bank clerks, for instance, but no one ever hears of these cases meeting with special favor.Furthermore, we are not at all sure that any of the brokers are coming out to face the world\u2014penniless.Our guess is thal most of them have something securely salted away, ready to re-establish themselves in a society that can forgive anything but the an of being poor.The comparatively light sentences imposed on these men whe were directly responsible for the ruin of thousands, their preferential WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, JULY 13, 1938.treatment during their all too short stay In prison and this premature release drives home the conviction that while it is a heinous offence, worthy of condign punishment to rob a pzi- vate corporation, to rob the ordinary investor will ind sympathy in high places.The Duties Act Duties Bill passed the third reading in the British House of Commons in the face of a bitter, though Hopeless, opposition on the part of the Labor Party.It is the duty of an opposition to oppose and certainly the Labor Party fulfilled this function.Mr.George Lansbury referred to the announcement that Mr.de Valera's Government is paying the annuities into a separate fund.\u201cThat seems to me to sweep away all questions of either default or dishonesty or breaking of any agreement.The Labor Party desires to refer the matter to the Imperial Conference, leaving the Conference free to appoint a tribunal either within or without the Empire.\u201d Again, Mr.Lansbury argued that \u201cif Canada and South Africa had a dispute and decided to go outside the Empire for arbitration, not a single member of the British Government would dare to Prevent them.\u201d \u201cThe Irish Press,\u201d the Free State Government organ, maintains that the British offer to arbitrate by an Imperial tribunal is merely \u201cinsisting on another Feetham Com- mission\u2014an \u2018impartial\u2019 tribunal, which distorted the boundary clause oul of all rational meaning\u2014another court chosen from a restricted personnel in an area where the British view ls likely to predominate.\u201d This referred to the settlement of the very difficult question of the Free State-Ulster boundary by a commission headed by Judge Feetham of South Africa.Later it has been stated that Mr.de Valera was desirous of having either Mr.Gandhi, or Mr.Patel, another prominent Indian Nationalist, as members of the arbitration court.If de Valera accepted the principle of ah Empire tribunal, even though he should nominate an extreme anti- Imperialist like Mr.Gandhl or Mr.Patel, it would be a step toward loosening of the existing deadlock.Reluctant te Strike R.THOMAS, the British Government, and Britain in general are very reluctant to put the tariff into operation against Ireland.For one thing, of course, there would be no possibility of restricting its hardships to Mr.de Valera and his followers.The last Free State General Election showed that almost half the population of the Free State were in favor of the Treaty and of friendship with Britain.These people are not segregated in any Land of Goshen where they would be exempt the plague \u2018of British tariff reprisals.It would be a case of \u201cslaying the righteous with the wicked.\u201d But apart altogether from this consideration Britain desires Ireland's friendship.Perhaps as never before her statesmen realise that all nations are members one of another, and that if one nation suffers, all other nations suffer with it.And Britain would like to make a friend of Mr.de Valera.In spite of his extravagance he is recognized as an honest man, as a Quixote without a Sancho Panza to keep him from doing mischief to himself or to others.Quite possibly Mr.de Valera himself would like to come to agreement.But the blessed word \u201cCompromise\u201d which has such magic potency in England is unknown in Ireland.When at first there was talk of buying out the landlords Michael Davitt, another very honest agitator, said that all these were morally entitled to, having regard to thelr record in Ireland, was \u201ca single ticket, third-class, to Holyhead.\u201d It is not a case now of landlords, but of holddrs of Irish land stock, but doubtless there are those of Mr.de Valera\u2019s following who do not desire to see the difference.T See Pree State Special - Irish Nationalism THE same may be said of their attitude toward the Oath of Allegiance.There is always an element, and a large element, in Ireland to which anything savoring of British connection is anathema.Michael Macdonagh writes in his history of the Home Rule Movement of the struggle in Parnell's time.\u201cAll other issues were to be subsidiary to this, Parnell said.The immediate good, practical and material, never made any great appeal to Ireland.The people always were most unified and determined when the agitation was concentrated upon the national question.What is more, the establishment of an Irish Parliament never Implied à scheme of regeneration on a grand scale.\u2018Ireland a nation\u2019 was regarded by the vast majority of its adherents, not as an expedient, but as a fulfilment\u2014a perfect and finished thing.It was to be a satisfaction of the desire for a separate national existence, and that was enough without any serious thought of what was to follow, of anything, in the way of social betterment.What the idealists desired for Ireland was a proud position in the world, a voice in the international councils of nations, backed by an Army and Fleet, and ail the rest of what we now generally abhor as Jingoism, which in the opinion of these dreamers were the surest tokens of a great nation and a happy people.\u201d Aspirations MR.COSGRAVE and that portion of the nation which looks to him as leader consider tha) these aspirations have been met by the establishment of the Free State.Here for instance is a neat little \u201cHistory of Dublin\u201d issued by \u201cThe Educational Company of Ireland\u201d whose motto is \u201cLet knowledge grow from more\u2019 to more.\u201d It is vividly Nationalist in standpoint and hasn't a good word to sy for Britain but it holds that under the Cosgrave regime a brighter ers had dawned \u201cand it needs only the hearty co-operation of every man and woman, every boy and girl, to raise our dear native city once more to à position where we may point to it with pride as the worthy

of the element that demonstrated in Dublin the other day denouncing Great Britain and King George and demanding complete independence.We réfuse to believe that this element Is generally representative of Ireland.Lausanne saw peace and cordial relations established between France and Germany.Surely similar good feeling may be evoked between Ireland and Britain.Mr.de Valera\u2019s latest note to

A government which interfered with people's rights, and set out to change their personal habits at the behest of a bunch of wowsers and bluenoses\u2014that government had got what it deserved, which was to be made ridiculous.The police blunder was unfortunate, of course\u2014 but what could you expect when Federal employees rigged themselves up as gangsters, and set out to behave like gangsters?Those writers who affected a lighter tone made whoopee with \u201cCowboy Mollie,\u201d a lively young female who was the darling of the intellectual underworld; a girl from Oklahoma who invented picturesque pranks for the entertainment of the Tenderloin, and had been nabbed by the government half a dozen times\u2014 but always managing to outwit her persecutors.rity had come back to Amer- fea.That economic wave which alternately recedes and rises again\u2014Iit was coming in now with such a rush that the country went crasy.Prices rose beyond the dreams of speculators\u2019 avarice; men made millions, tens of mililons in a day's operations.The lite fellows who read the financial pages and the \u201cdope-sheets\u201d are nearly all \u201cbulls,\u201d and this was thelr market.The result was that every night a moh poured into the pleasure district, its pockets stuffed with cash, eager to spend it for anything that would bring reaction from the strain of the day.Price was no obstacle\u2014 rather it was an object, the means by which they demonstrated their victory, and \u201ctold the world\u201d how \u201cpretty\u201d they were sitting.They came like 8 herd of swine to the trough, ready to gobble every kind of pleasure that swine could appreciate.They wanted delicious and costly foods, prepared in fantastic styles, with fancy French names; they wanted the rarest and most pre- clous drinks\u2014or, if these were not obtainable, they would take synthetic liquors served in bottles with ancient and honorable labels, printed last week in an allsy under the piers of the Brooklyn Bridge.Solemnly the walter would bear in a bucket full of genuine cracked ice, and solemnly he would lift out & genuine bottle wrapped In a genuine cotton napkin; he would axhibit the label\u2014\u201cMost et 1897,\u201d or \u201cMumm's Extra 1880\"; he would produce a geu- uine corkacrew, and pull a genuine cork made from Andalusian oakbark; there would be a genuine popping, and à rush of genuine feam, and into mn genuine champagne glasses, made in Trenton, New Jersey, would be poured apple cider with bubbles of carbonic acid gas forced into it by machinery, and fortified with recooked alcohol having the familiar \u201ctraces of phen- olphthalalate.\u201d For this the waiter would bring you a genuine bill for twenty-five dollars per bottle; and if in the course of the party your friends expreased appreciation of the superior quality of your vintage, the waiter would allp you the card of a man who had a stock of this \u201cpre-war stuff,\u201d and would deliver it to your home for only two hundred dollars a case.Also, of course, the swine wanted the females of their kind.If they had not brought a supply, they had only to tell the waiter, specifying the number, nationality, and color desired.The women were like the champagne bottles, In that the labbls were atirac- tive, If a little too bright; while the contents were poison.It was their job to keep customers spending, and to hold as much as the customers.The music was made especially for these \u201cwhoopee hours\"\u2014music from a Negro band, with thumping of tom- toms and rattle of drums, wails and shrieks that sent shivers up and down your spine, rhythms that suggested a man dancing with his knees out of joint.The genial old German formula, \u201cWein, Welb, und Gesang\u201d had been transiated and modernized into \u201cGin, janes, and jazz.\u201d In short, the \u201cunderworld,\u201d afier a long struggle for survival in America, had come out on top, and was now the world of glory and success.Its music had been taken up by radio and phonograph, and made the standard entertainment of the civilized world.Its fashions, reproduced in \u201cmovies,\u201d became the test of modernity, and the flapper In Oshkosh and Kalama- 200, to say nothing of Buenos Aires and Singapore, painted her lips acar- let and her cheeks violet or lavender.Its speech was reproduced in \u201ctalkies,\u201d and became standard English in the playgrounds of all the high-schoois of five continents.It had conquered the world of culture and art; there were underworld poets, novelists, drama- plous guidance the gangster picture became a standard product, delivered \u201clike Uneeda Biscults and Lydia PInk- ham's Vegetable Compound to every cross-roads hamlet in the land; the killer stalked across the acene, pale of features and clipped of speech, grim, efficient, deadly\u2014and took, in the hearts of the children of America, the .place formerly occupied by Elsie Dins- ~ more and Little Lord Fauntleroy, George Washington and Paul Revere.Maggie May, confronting facis such as these, would have periods of de- preasion, and wonder if human nature could be redeemed, or, indeed, if it were worth redeéraing.She would pour out her heart to Dr.Craven, who sought to impress upon her his comforting notion -that it had nothing to do with human nature, but was the automatic product of a social system.He would invite her to examine those forms of wholesale depravity which troubled her; in every case she would find big business behind it, seeking to grow bigger, and creating the frailties and follies upon which it throve.\u201cThese are the days of mass production, Mrs.Tarleton, and we have mass production of vanity, sensuality, and greed.We manufacture these products exactly as a distiller makes alcohol in his mash.\u201d That sounded like strange doctrine from a clergyman; but this oid gentleman who looked like a Giotto portrait explained his idea, that God had his laws, and gave us brains with which to discover them.If you wanted love and fellowship in the world, then put the world's business on that basis, and not on the basis of competition and exploitation.\u201cSurely, Mrs.Tarleton, you must realize that the liquor traffic is a business enterprise.You see manufacturers and wholesalers, and behind them financiers and banking intorests; you see advertisers and promoters, working day and night to spread it.They call it \u2018breaking down sales resistance,\u2019 and it applies to vices as to everything else.Consider the \u2018wet\u2019 propa- ganda\u2014who pays for it and keeps it going?A group of big business men, some of the mast powerful in the country\u2014and all thinking about their profits.\u201d \u201cAren't they making more out of bootlegging, Dr.Craven?\u201d \u201cDon't let anyone tell you that, Mrs, Tarleton.The big business man finds the illegal traffic far less profitable than the legal.His operating costs are higher, and too much of the profit goes to the retailer and the \u2018squeeze.\u2019 The big liquor men want their business back, safe and respectable, as it used to be, controlling the government of our cities and most of our states.Learn to look for the profits, my friend; they explain the ideas.\u201d Maggie May found this way of looking at life interesting, even if disturbing.\u201cWhat explains the newspapers?\u201d she asked.\u201cThe advertisers explain everything about the newspapers.Every merchant who has goods to sell wants a wide open town, because that brings customers.Every wholesaler wants liquor handy, because if he can get the visiting buyer \u2018lit up\u2019 and sociable, he can sell him twice as big a bill Every hotelkeeper wants conventions \u2014the Elks and the Moose and the Shriners, the American Legion and the political parties, which have to be drunken riots, or what are they?So you have a huge mass of liquor sentiment; and editors are cynical, inured to depravity\u2014and besides, they have to get \u2018tanked up\u2019 themselves, or how could they endure to turn out such a mass of crime and scandal?\u201d \u201cYou notice,\u201d said Maggie May, \u201cthe wets have taken to calling themselves Crusaders and Prohibition Reformers \u2014all our names.\u201d \u201cWhen you become a Soclalist,\u201d sald Dr.Craven with his never-failing smile, \u201cyou'll expect all that.When the Catholic Church wanted to fight the Socialists, they set up \u2018Christian Boclalist\u2019 unions.Now the Fassists have taken It up, and in Germany they are \u2018National Socialists!\u2019 You see, it 1s impossible to deny the ideal of social justice, of a world without exploitation and class dominance.It 1s equally impossible to defend liquor, so the wets are out for \u2018temperance.\u2019 them are wet in one brain-lobe and dry in the other.Rich men like the wder-barons of Delaware put wp millions to finance the wet cause, fig- (Continued on page 6) WITNRSS AND- CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, JULY 19, 1982.~ Older Folks Should Straighten Up By Margaret Moore.E had to lie flat on our backs on a straight board for three hours every day, and oh, how we ached, and when we were sitting in class we were made to wear webbing harness that pulled back our shoulders until they were cut.\u201d The old lady who sald it sat erect and dignified in her straight-backed chair.No rocking chair for her, and the big chairs of the Chesterfield set into which her granddaughter sank with curved back, crossed knees, and feet stretched out, were absolutely impossible to her.It was not merely that she felt such chairs made a ladylike posture impossible, she was really mast uncomfortable in them.Once started, it was hard to get off the subject.Grandmother told of her agonles with desks too small for her, and of getting all twisted sitting at.them until \u201cSwedish\u201d exercises were given her to straighten the curved back and uneven shoulders.Mother talked of the joy there was when tiny chairs and desks were bought by the 8chool Commissioners for the littlest class in school, and of how different it was when teachers and school nurses began insisting on pupils being put at desks that were the correct height for them.\u201cIt is wonderful what a difference there is today.Children are kept well and straight without any of those old tortures\u201d was the general verdict.\u201cIf only the boys wouldn't slouch and the girls twist themselves Into queer shapes as if they were afraid they were going to lose their few clothes, which seem to hang on by virtue of one shoulder strap or a scant walst-band.\u201d That brought chuckles from the mothers who had vainly tried to get their young people to sit on the OUR PATTERN SERVICE A [= > 98 M068.Ladies\u2019 Dress.in Bises: 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 7158.Girls\u2019 Drem.JOM DOUGALL & , \u2014 PATTERN Pommes, Mowmasl.COUPON send me PATTERN NOS.)

I just wish you could all live for a while in one of the dreadful rooms lined with mirrors.If you worked and rested and all in it yoëd get quite new ideas, 1 think, and maybe it would help!\u201d \u2018HERE was a bit of a gasp went round the jolly group gathered on the pleasant sun porch, and then a laugh, as they looked round at each other and considered themselves.\u201cI just know I stick out in all the wrong places, but I'd somehow got to thinking it didn't matter for me as long as I got the girls to straighten up,\u201d said the hostess.And then everyone began to talk at once, for grandma had \u201cstarted something.\u201d We cannot all of us live to be very old and have our bodies stay young; and we do suffer from ills that the best of doctors can\u2019t always cure and from aches that no one can just find a reason for, but\u2014 we could do a great lot towards making it more of a pleasure for -our families to look at us and a great deal towards making ourselves happier, healthier and more comfortable.Not by haunting beauty parlors and having queer things done to our faces, though careful attention to the use of warm water and soap, cold water and a bit of cold cream and powder is a wise procedure.Nor by going back to the tortures of rs \u201cSchool for Young Ladies\u201d days, though one of the wisest and youngest-looking middle-aged women I ever knew threw a quilt on the floor and lay down flat on her back on it to relax and rest between long hours of hard work, work that taxed brain and nerves as well as body.\u201cNothing 80 restfdl,\u201d she sald.cannot all consult experts in physical culture, nor is it wise to follow instructions and exercises prescribed for everybody in magazines and periodicals, regardless of what may be their physical condition.But we can all manage somehow to get a sight of our entire figure\u2019 in some mirror or, window and correct some at least of our defects.We need to hold our heads and bodies erect, get both back and front into natural positions, shoulders even in height, shoulder blades flat, abdomen In and spine straight.We don\u2019t need elaborate exercises for this, but beware of any attempt to thrust your shoulders back.Instead, when you are tired with writing or ironing, gardening or scrubbing, embroidering or washing dishes, try this: Lay down your work and stand quietly with feet together and your arms hanging down by your sides, then move them gently back as far as they easily go.Ralse and bring them forward until they are straight out level with your shoulders, then bring them forward at the same level until they are straight out In front of you, hands as far apart as shoulders; next, bring them down, bending your hands back from the wrists at the same time, and when your hands are about 8 or 12 inches in front of your body push on your hands as if there was some object there to push against.Hold that position for a few seconds or a minute, then swing the hands back of you and repeat it all.\u2019 When you have gone through with it the second time just hold the pushing position and consider yourself.If you have done it as directed, you will ind your shoulders back, your chest up, your neck straight, head erect and chin in.Your back and your abdomen will both be straight and you will find you can rise on the balls of your feet lightly and easily, for you ar: poised as nature inten: ded you to be.JF you have been letting yourself sit with your arms folded across at your waist, resting on your abdomen, or bending your back at the walst-line over your work, or sticking your chin out in front of you and letting your shoulders slump, you won't be able to hold such an erect posture for more than a second and it won't be perfect at that.Don't overdo it, stiffened muscles and bones can't be forced suddenly.Go easy; do it morning and evening, then oftener, and try between whiles to work as one little woman said, \u201clike à princess.\u201d \u201cAs if you\u2019 were carrying a heavy weight on your head,\u201d another advises.Don\u2019t stoop and bend over when you go up the stairs.There is no bet- -ter exerclse than just going up and down them if you hold yourself erect, only if stairs make you breathless, find out why.Ask your doctor and take his advice about stairs and exercises.\u2019 Once you have acquired a correct posture you may be pleasantly surprised to find that organs which formerly gave you all sorts of trouble are behaving much better.Why not?How could they function properly when you.let the muscles that should hold them In place grow soft ot doubled yourself up until they were cramped and crowded.: OUSEWORK is the most healthful of occupations if you go at it with your body well poised and keeping your spine straight bend at knees and hips as nature intended you to do.Don't leave grace an dignity of carriage to the young athletes.You can have the well-being and beauty of it also if you make up your mind to it and persevere.DON'T BE A DIET CRANK THAT the body needs certain foods we all know, but that is not any reason for our turning into diet cranks._ When John oversléeps and misses his moming orange or Junior gets away with hiding his spinach under the potato skins, don't have instant visions of lack of vitamines resulting in scurvy for one and rickets for the other, advises Milo Hastings, director of the food research laboratory of Physical Culture Magazine.\u201cThe human animal was not evolved on a basis that makes it needful for him to have a complete supply of every element his body uses thre: times a day, or even once a day,\u201d he declares.\u201cThe body «en endure for weeks without any food element, and sometimes even may benefit from the process.No doubt there are some elements on which we could -exist on the store alrea-'v in the body for months or possiby years.I even suspect spinach might be eaten one month to correct the acid tendencies of eggs eaten the month before.\u201d \u201cThat cow has a lovely cost.\u201d \u201cYes, Rs à Jermey.\u201d \u201cThere, now!

After forbidding Clyde to step out of the house while I was away, he has been out playing and has taken Eleanor!\u201d She noticed that Eleanor had her blue coat and beret on.For this she was glad, as it was a chilly spring day; but, too, it made her think that Clyde's leaving the house was not an impulsive, and so à forgetful-of-orders dash from the house and back again.I suggested deliberate disobedience.Espying his mother in the distance, he was now hurrying, with Eleanor, into the house.Wheri Mrs.Elliot entered the two children were on the floor of the sun- parlor with a box of building blocks.The only indication of thelr having been ouf of doors was the rosinesas of.their faces and the disorder of their red curls.Mrs.Elliot did not question her children regarding the incident.Although she had never so phrased it, she wished them to attribute to her something of omnisclence\u2014the ability to tell what they were about whether or not she were with them.80 now she removed her new green spring coat and hat that the children so admired and said, \u201cCome here, Clyde.\u201d YDE ran to the door of her room eagerly, for often when Mrs.Elliot had been obliged to leave the children alone she had brought home some little treat.But what he saw in his mother's hands was the punishing ruler.He stopped short and hls face 3 \u2026 \u201cCome here and hold out your hands,\u201d commanded his mother.The boy obeyed.: Had the half dogen apats with the ruler been given in fun, Clyde would have laughed at them, but now he Little Children Van Osdel.sobbed convulsively.He was a child .who never needed physical punish- ment\u2014how many children do?For Clyde it was something of a spiritual injury.\u201cGo now!\u201d said his mother.\u201cAnd the next time I tell you not to go out while I am away perhaps you will obey me!\u201d .Clyde, sobbing, stungbled away, and Mrs.Elliot hurried to the kitchen to prepare supper.Then she remembered that there was no milk.She glanced at the woe-begone Clyde.Really, after punishing him she disliked asking him to do this errand for ber, especially since she knew he had a dread of going to the store.But when she asked him to go, he merely gulped down a big sob, and with two tears tracking down his freckled face, replied, \u201cYes, Mother.\u201d At once he put on his jacket and cap, took the money and an empty bottle and went out.Then he put his head in to call, \u201cGoodbye, Mother! Bye, Eleanor!\u201d OMETHING suddenly stirred in Mrs.Elliot's heart, She was overwhelmed by the beauty of Clyde's forgiving spirit\u2014no sulking, no attempt at retaliation, merely forgivingness! And then, more than anything else, more even than appearing omnisclent in the eyes of her children, Mrs.Elliot wanted him to keep this lovely apirit\u2014 wished that it might never be killed in him, .When Clyde returned with the she thanked him and then stooped and kissed him.His face was irradiated with 8 glad smile.\u201cWhy did you disobey Mother, Clyde?\u201d she asked, her tone ih keeping with her softened mood.\u201cI didn't know just what to do, Mother,\u201d he answered, leaning against her as she peeled some bolled potatoes.\u201cYou know Scotty (Scotty was the dog belonging to the crippied woman next door) got ou! because some one left - \u2018Ds J.D.KE STHMA, Rd LoGGS MED KT AND EFFICIENT RELIEF FOR oA) AND WH ROUE CAES A «Forgive me, little son!

days generally present us with.Acid yet hardiy acid, delicately jelly-like with sll the whey still held in the curd.our grandmothers knew iia value and served it sometimes with a dust of sugar and nutmeg, sometimes with a little sweet cream poured carefully on top, but often with no addition.Nowadays many of us in the cities have to use pasteurized milk, we have electric refrigerators or other ways of storing our milk, and uniess we deliberately expose the milk it is likely to be stale Jong before it sours.Those Who have access to \u201creal milk\" as the children call it, may still eat curds and cream.Most of us turn it Into cottage cheese, 20 that we may make of it a great number of delicious dishes and serve it often without tiring our families.The following is a quick method of making cottage cheese: Thick curdled milk that has soured quickly Is the best foundation for a good quality cottage cheese.Set the bowl of milk in a pan of hot water.The milk itself should never become more than lukewarm.When the whey has separated and large thick curds have formed, pour It into a cheesecloth bag and hang It to drain for 20 minutes.I lay the cheesecloth over a sieve and set the sieve on a deep bowl.Then measure the curd, put it into a colander, and beat in a teaspoonful of butter to à quart of curd.Add salt to taste and leave the mixture to drain for an hour or two longer.Choess Salad Loa/\u20141 sandwich loaf of bread, tomatoes, cottage cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise or bolled dressing.Remove crusts from all four sides of the bread.Cat loaf into thirds

cheese layer.Ice the whole loaf, using cream cheese or & heavy mayonnaise.Chill several hours.Serve by cutting into slices as If it were a Joa of solid bread.This will make from eight to ten siices.Delicious Salad is made by putting tender young garden lettuce in a bowl, ssssoning with French dressing, then placing on it « mound of cottage cheese.The cottage chesse may be surrounded by a ring of goosederTy preserve.It makes & very pretty dish, and the combination is delicious.Fruit Chosse Dressing\u2014-3 ogy yolks, 1-4 eup sugar, 1 tablespoon butter.2 table- OME COOKING spoons lemon

WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, JULY 13, 1938 FOR YOUNG PEOPLE The Summer Camp By Ethel Beckman Vander Veer.HE city was dull and dusty, and Alice was disappointed when she was told that the famlly could not spend the summer at their camp on the Seashore.\u201cQ dear!\u201d she complained.\u201cI was going to teach Elmira Eudora to swim!\u201d Elmira Eudora was her doll; she was three inches tall, and was made entirely of bisque.8he had been sent to Alice from Elmira, New York, and had been christened, \u201cEudora from El- mira,\u201d but for convenience the name was afterward shor\u2018ened to \u201cElmira Budora:\u201d \u201cAnd I promised to teach her how to swim,\u201d continued the little girl.\u201cAnd now we are not going after all.\u201d \u201cI will make you a promise,\u201d sald- Aunt May.\u201cEudora shall go to a camp, after all\u2014her very own camp.\u201d \u2018The following Saturday afternoon the bell rang, and Alice went to the door.There stood a man holding a large flat box, which said on it \u201cFor Mias Alice Bright.\u201d After the man had gone, Alice took off the cover of the box: she saw some brown earth, and nothing more.\u201cOh, I do believe that it has something to do with Eudora's camp!\u201d she cried.\u201cYes, dear, it is the beginning of the camp,\u201d said Aunt May, \u201cbut only the The first thing that they did was to place the box on an old table on the sunny side of the back piassa.The box was three feet long and two feet ® t May told Alice to heap side of the box, so as ä and bag two &mall paper packets.One of them contained grass seed à fine variety, which they sprinkled In the other packet were verbena seed, one or two of which they planted in each circle.\u201cI suppose that all I can do now is to wait for it to grow,\u201d said \u2018Alice, when her work was finished.\u201cNo, indeed,\u201d said Aunt May.\u201cThere are many other things to be done while you are waiting.But here is something I bought for you, because every , day you must sprinkle the And she put into Alice's hand a little green toy watering pot.\u201cThen, too, you must see that Eu- dora has e proper sweater for her trip.\u201d Aunt May took from her workbasket a akein of fine gray wool and a small crochet needle, and gave Alice her first lesson In crocheting.- Every day, with her tiny watering pot, Alice sprinkled the litle camp cite, and finally she was rewarded by seeing tender green blades forcing their way to the light.\u201cAnd now,\u201d said Aunt May, \u201cit is time we worked on the tent.We will make the supports first.Here are some sticks I saved from the flags we used last First of July.They are just the thing for our purpose.\u201d The tent covering they made from a piece of thick white muslin, and .he edges they bound with tape.\u2018The tent was finished, and only needed to bé \u2018set up.They placed the poles in the earth, and adjusted the muslin over them.They passed wrapping twine, which served as rope, through the holes made in the sides, and fastened it to little wooden pegs, which they drove into the earth.Just over the opening of the tent Alice pinned a tiny flag.When the verbenas had grown tall enough to seem like trees, the grass had grown nearly as high; so with her acissors Alice \u201cmowed\u201d It to à height of about throe-quarters of an The summer before she had collect- tucked her sweater under her arm, and helped her to walk into her camp.She was the most delighted doll in the world.And the next day Alice dressed Budora in her bathing suit, and gave her the first lesson in swimming: but the pupil proved to bé so awkward at it that Alice decided to fot her float instead\u2014an accomplishment that she already possessed.Aunt May brought many additions to the camp.There were toy ducks that salled contentedly on the lake, a scull made from soft wood, with the name EUDORA printed on the stern.But as Eudora was no better able to row than she had been to swim, Alice rested the oars on the edge of the\u2019 boat, and let her drift with the tide.That was perfectly safe, for, as Alice said, she could not drift out to the ocean.Although Eudora was on the water so often, she refused to tan; she kept her pearly white complexion All summer.\u201cIt seems selfish for Elmira Eudora to keep all these good times to herself,\u201d thought Alice.\u201cI do wish I knew of some other dolls to come here and enjoy the camp with ber.\u201d She looked out of the window, and there she saw the little girl who lived across the street.She was holding a rag doll in her arms, and when she saw Alice, she made it wave its hand.The two children had never met, but they had often smiled at each other trom their windows.So Eudora gave a picnic, and the rag doll came and had a happy time.No doubt the dolls enjoyed the little sandwiches and cakes that Mrs.Bright thoughttully provided for them.That night Alice put her arms about her aunt's neck, and told her that she had scarcely missed going to the camp because she had ao much pleasure in making Eudora happy.\u201cThat is just like mothers,\u201d Aunt May said, laughing.\u201cThey would rather see their children happy ven to be happy themselves.\u201d\u2014 Youth's Companion.STAMP NEWS Lunada te Commemerate Linperial Conference Authority has been given for the issue of three commemorative postage stamps in connection with the Imperial Conference to be held in Ottawa next month, an official announcement by the Prime Minister, Rt.Hon.R.B.Bennett states.These stamps will be in the denomination of three, five and thirteen cents.The three cent stamp will bear a portrait of the King;

but they don\u2019t think liquor is good for the powder business, so they enforce rigid dry laws Inside their barony.You will hear railroad presidents making wet speeches at banquets, thinking of the trafic in beer that is going to their rivals, the trucking corporations; but if one of those gentlemen has an engineer who takes a drink before he starts on a run, that man never starts agaln.\u201d All these ideas were highly disturbing to Maggle May.She would take them home and talk them over with Kip, and be fortified by his conserva tism.Both husband and wife clung to the outfit of political opinio which they had inherited along with the color of their hair and the shape of their heads.The Apserican political system was the most wonderful in the world; all that was needed was to find honest men to run it, and then everything would be well.7 Kip managed to pass his civil service examinations, and received a salary raise amounting to eleven dollars and sixty cents a month.Having been wise enough to choose a wife who earned her own money, he could live on his pay, and \u201cturn in\u201d to his superiors the sums which were paid by law-violators to induce him to look the other way.Since he had a mother and an aunt at home, preparing old- fashioned Southern meals with hot bread and other delicacies, he was not tempted by the lobster-palaces of: Broadway, which were so eager to place thelr lobsters at his disposal.Go into these places at any hour, and you would find police officers and detectives, with now and then a \u201cFederal,\u201d dining off the fat of the land; they would be overwhelmed with attentions, and it would be impossible for any of them to pay the bill, or even to see it.Since the post of trust in war-time is the past of danger, Major Mills took Kip from other jobs and put him on s service in the \u201cajcoholic squad.\u201d Ninety per cent of the liquor men lurked, and did shooting; also, it was \u201cpay-off\u201d men carried wads, and distributed Ethyl alcohol was a necessity in the manufacture of a long list of articles of commerce, and this alcohol was produced in distilleries, by the same processes as whisky.Following its lawful channels, the product was worth about one dollar a gallon; diverted Into bootleg channels, it was worth fifteen times that sum; such was the stake in the battle.Amounting as it did to millions of dollars every week, this stake had raised up an array of iricksters, working day and night to devise new achemes to cheat the law.The servants of the law were outnumbered a hundred to one, and here, as in all military cam- paigna, Providence was on the side of the heaviest battalions.The government had sixty-one chemical formulas for rendering aloo- hol undrinkable; the particular chem- feals depending upon the industrial purpose for which the alcohol was intended.In the old days, before prohibition, this \u201cdenaturing\u201d bad been done in the plant where the distilling was done\u2014which obviously was tire economical and sensible way.But no desire to enforce it, had permitted the Stops Summer Odors\u2014 The heavy swell which warm weat ings to many ple is largely prevented by lar bathing with a free lather of Baby's Own Soap.The delicate aroma dispelsall unpleasantness and the skin eclssorefreshed,cool& sweet.Baby's Owns sells at 10c.a cake at dealers everywhere, \u201cBoat for pou and Baby tee\u201d ** alcohol to be taken away to so-called \u201cindependent plants,\u201d where the work was done, or pretended to be done.This was the biggest source of graft, and of millions of gallons of bootleg Hquor; yet each of these hundreds of plants was now a vested interest, sac- rec.under the American law, and whenever you tried to revoke the permit of one, no matter how crooked, you had a long and costly legal battle on your hands.The government had to count the barrels of alcohol at the distillery, and count them again upon arrival at the denaturing plant, and make sure there had been no substitutions.It had to make sure the denaturing substances were correct in quality and quantity, and that they were actually poured into the alcohol.It had to follow the barrels to the manufacturers whe were to use the alcohol, and make sure they were real manufacturers, and not just simply blinds for the \u201calky racket.\u201d There had sprung up a host of so-called \u201ccover houses\u201d\u2014concerns which had dummy offices and staffs.You would go to one of these places to inspeet their bills of sale, and they had none\u2014only a wad of money in the safe, which they would \u201csilp\u201d to you alone in the back office.Kip helped to investigate the \u201cContinental Distributing Company,\u201d and the \u201cEssential Olls Marketing Corporation\u201d which had purchased vast quantities of denatured alcohol, supposed to be used in the manufacture of eau de quinine, lilac water, Florida water, foaming hair tonic, and so on.One of these concerns had a letier- head showing an enormous plant, but 1t was located in an obscure shed, and had one aged mixing machine, covered with cobwebs and dust.There were no records, no files, no customers, not even 3 warehouse; the alcohol was never taken out of the trucks which brought it from the denaturing plant, but the trucks were re-routed to the \u201ccleaning plant\u201d of bootleggers.Kip investigated the business of the Eureka Alcohol Company\u2014and that was à funny story.Among the receipts they showed him for their products was one from a large manufacturer of hair-brushes; the receipt was duly signed by the recelving clerk of the concern, and everything was fine, except for one fact\u2014that the government had seized those particular barrels of alcohol on the way to the concern! The barrels were then safely reposing at the army bass in Brooklyn, where you might see two floors, ninety thousand square feet of space, packed solid with seized liquor.waiting for the courts to decide Its fate.- Also, Kip spent more than a month cultivating the acquaintance of the Santangelo brothers, Italian manufacturers of hair-tonica; such a nice, pious name they had, and they were sll devout Catholics, going to mass every Sunday.But on week\u201cdays, they sold alcool to a gang which \u201ccleaned\u201d 1t, and \u201ccut it twelve ways\u201d in a filthy cellar dive, and then mixed it with .juniper water, and labelled it \u201cGordon (Oontinued on page 11) 9 USA and 50 Different Foreign 5 emis.Canada Als Mell Stamps assepied PSC-3087 WIATT PLACE WW.Weshingten, B.0.U.S.A Adventuring for the Kingdom WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTRAD, JULY 13, 1933.Canadian Carries His Cross Bravely in India\u2019s Filth By Gordon Sinclair, in P you happen to be one of those countleas home folks who picture missionaries as frock-coated soul- savers standing under palm trees with big Bibles under their arms, prepare to chuck all your ideas out of the window and give a real man a cheer.He's Rev.R.M.Bennett of Indian Road Baptist Chureh, Toronto, only white man for hundreds of square miles and high hooper dooper of the Kistna District.He looks after more people than there are in all Toronto, holds court and fines roughnecks whether holy Brahmins or lowly outcasts.Sometimes he's both pleader and judge and jury.He marries folks, buries them, pleads with them, howls them out, rules them.He covers hundreds of weary miles over impossible buffalo trails every week, cures the sick, comforts the dying, feeds the starved.His word is law in 150 vil- ages and he 1s aoundly hated by high caste landlords and money-lenders who see in him an enemy of their predatory grafts and thirst for his He takes more chances in the snake and lizard belt than the most ballyhooed adventurer because he has to sleep and eat and drink in the wide sun-drenched plains where he has his own two arms and nothing else to defend himself with.Xf malaria, dysentery, Bengal rot or other tropical horrors strike him down while out in the pagan black belt he has to fight death alone until he reaches home, where his wife, formerly Ila Fraser, a medical graduate of the University of Toronto, will nurse him to health.He worked his way through college as a sailor and is a tough lad to put the wind up.Today, for instance, we started off across an alleged road for an outcast village full of fleabitten animals bearing only slight resemblance to human beings.OUR CORNER for the SHUT-INS By Rev.A.W.Bene .HYMN Bowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindnees, Bowing in the noontide, and the dewy eve: Waiting for the harvest, and the time of Tea] : i;

three merchants, whose stock 1s piles of dried peas, beans and rice, have low, teak- wood chairs.The folks just sit, sleep and work on the mud.They are born on the mud and die on the mud.\u2018Their possessions are two loincloths, one pugaree or turban and five cooking pote.The temple is grown over with weeds and grass, the school has no walls and the burning ghst lacks sufficient wood to destroy a body fully, so the dogs, rabid and fiea-bitten, manage to finish off that chore.That's the sort of village Bennett works in every day.Pilthy beyond imagination;

Homes Plant Fast-Maturing Vegetables F for any rekson, cut worms or rabbits, or drought, your vegetable garden has failed to grow, or you have been unable to get It In, do not give up, but plant fast maturing varieties now.~ The soil is warm and plenty of moisture will Insure speedy germination.Of course, it is too late to start long season vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers from seeds, But rellable seed stores can still provide plants, and If you insist on early va- rietles your chances to gather abundant crops before frost are still good.Foremost among profitable vegetables in the home garden we must rank bush beans, Where spate permits some sweet comm should be grown.Next come lettuce and all the root crops, such as baets, carrots, radishes, turnips and rutabagas.Then, too, some spinach and Chinese cabbage should be sown.This Chinese cabbage Is really a mustard, which\u2019 will not head up properly If sown too early.\u201d Both Chinese cabbage and spinach are distinctly cool season crops that do best with the approach of cool nights and fall weather.If you.are fond of green beans plant either bountiful or stringless green pod.Those who prefer yellow wax podded beans will do equally well with sure crop wax or round podded kidney wax.Each of these four varieties will reward you with the first crop of pods within sixty days after planting.The seeds should be dropped four inches apart in the row, covered with about two inches of soil and there should be about two feet of space between the rows.Hilling them after, they get to be four to six inches tall will help to keep the pods off the ground.In sweet corn, golden bantam can be recommended.True, peep o' day or early dawn will provide ears quickly.I have gathered these varieties within sixty days after sowing seeds.But neither one will bring the quality ears which golden bantam bears within eighty-five days after seeds are sown.It is better to plant in blocks of four to six short rows each than to stretch one long line clear across the garden.The reason for this is that pollenization occurs more uniformly in blocks than in a long row.Most people complain that they experience difficulty in getting lettuce to head.The reason for this is that few planters think enough of thinning out the plants properly.Lettuce should be sown thinly to begin with, and as soon as the seedlings get to be three or four inches tall, they should be thinned out to stand four inches apart in the row.When these plants begin to crowd each other, every ather one should be removed and may then be used as boiled greens or as salad.The final thinning should find your lettuce row with the heads about twelve to fourteen Tiiches apart, and they should be cultivated freely so as to encourage heading.The enly variety now suitable, considering the coming hot weather, is Cos lettuce or Romaine.This will stand midsummer heat better than any of the heading\u201d varieties.Where nights are cool the iceberg variety wil make rapid growth and crisp delicious heads Spinach is another plant that wants cool nights and plenty of moisture.It is too late now to sow New Zealand spinach, but the varieties long season and King of Denmark will stand a remarkable amount of hot weather.Now, as to the root crops.Beets may be sown in rows eighteen inches apart, dropping the seeds an inch apart in the row and covering with about one inch of soll.After sowing the seeds and covering them press the soil in firm contact with the spongy seeds Beet seeds are really a fruit, each Kernel containing two or three seeds Detroit dark red is one of the best.And while we are on the subject of beets, Bwiss chard really is a foliage beet.Swiss chard is a wonderful vegetable in that it provides two distinct dishes.The leaf portion may be boil- ed like spinach or any other greens and the heavy midribs may be served with a sauce like asparagus.Swiss chard plants of the Lucullus variety grow to good proportions.The rows should therefore be placed at least two feet apart and the plants thinned out to stand twelve to fourteen inches apart in the row.Carrots, radishes, turnips and rutabagas may all be planted any time up to mid-July.They should be placed in rows eighteen inches apart and covered witth about half an inch of soil.Rutgbagas being much stronger growers than turnips, rows should be placed at least two feet apart and thinned out to stand aix inches apart in the row.In connection with all of these root crops, do not fail to thin out carefully and religiousiy.The plant will not develop the right kind of a root if it does not have breathing space in the row.When it comes to radishes, either.early varieties or late keepers may be planted.Among the early ones, scarlet globe and French breakfast are perhaps the most popular.But they will bear watching, because these early varieties have a habit of becoming pithy overnight.They should be ready for use within eighteen to twenty days from the time the seeds are sown, and you should use them while quite small, because after they pass an.inch In diameter they generally become spongy.For succession crops in radishes try white icicle, which is ready in about forty days, and is by far the best keeper of the lot.- For a fall crop of radishes try white Chinese, which grows to good size and should be thinned out to stand at least six inches apart in the row.Its flesh is quite firm and it is a good keeper.Harvested about the close of September it should keep quite well up to Christmas, if kept in the cellar, stored in sand or dry soil like other root crops.JL And now a word about the crops which you may have already growing in your garden.Most vegetables require cultivation much more than repeated watering.One good soaking once a week is better than a superficial sprinkling every evening.This holds particularly true with tomatoes.The way to grow tomatoes In the home garden is to tie each plant to a strong stake five to six feet tall.Drive these stakes within four inches of the base of the plants around July 1.By that time the plant should have formed a symmetrical specimen with perhaps six or more branches.Reduce these six branches to three of the strongest and tie them and train them to the stake.The tomato plant is a thrifty grower.In order to get the most fruit its follage-forming habit should be curbed.At each leaf joint there will come what is called suckers, At the base of the plant new shoots will appear.All of these should be pinched out regularly so as to throw all the strength of the plant into the fruit on the original three stalks.Hay cured in loose windrows dries down much more uniformly than that partially cured in the swath.In the windrow, the leaves and stems lose the moisture\u2019 at the same rate, while in the swath the leaves dry much more rapidly, causing the leaves to break off.and the result is that many of them are left on the .ground.Because of the high content.of molsture in the stems where the hay is cured in the swath, there is often molding In the mow.eg .ANSWERS to Garden Questions Mother of Thousands Dear Bir Would it be possible to grow \u201cMother of

so that the poison is not ~fective.Among the poisons that kill the chewing insects is arsenate of lead.For a spray in small quantities use 3 teaspoonfuls of powder to 1 gallon of water, or for a dust 1 ounce or part of powdered arsenate of lead, 4% ounces or parts hydrated or air-siacked time, 4 ounces or parts of superfine sulphur.For the sucking Insects the use of nicotine or tobacco spray a

often very extravagant claims are made.It is not uncommon to find even the better ciass of these eondi- ment feeds advertised as capable of doubling egg production, a claim which, of course, is absurd.Since a large amount of money is spent annually in stimulants of this type it seemed to be highly desirable to determine the actual value of these substances, writes H.8_ Gutteridge, C:n- tral Experimental Farm.With this object in view an experiment was eohducted at the Poultry Division of the Central Experimental Farm.The conditioner used was considered to be one of the better type and, judged by its ingredients, to have been more or less scientifically compounded.Upon analysis the ingredients were found to be as stated with the exception that two ingredients making up 70 per cent of the total were not even mentioned, one of which contained the same stimulant As an ingredient definitely stated in the advertising matter not to be present in the mixture.This condiment was fed exactly according to the manufacturers\u2019 directions to two pens of birds, one upon a whole grain, skim- milk ration, and the other upon our standard basal ration.Another pen acted as control and received the standard basal ration but without the condiment feed.Mortality was quit« high in all pens but somewhat higher in the condiment fed pens.Production was slightly higher in the condi~ ment fed pens but not significantly so.On the other hand the control pen had a greater body weight to maintain from the start and fn spite of this showed a gain in body weight as against a similar loss in each of the condiment pens.The efficiency of use of feed was practically the same for all pens.The net result of this test was that it appeared that there was no justification for using this product to Increase egy production since feed consumption, efficieney of use of feed and egg production were not Increased.It must be borne in mind that the condiment used was one of the best on the market, consequently it might be expected that poorer results would be obtained from the bulk of such conditioners.The sale of these feeds 1s very large and it can be readily appreciated that much hard earned money goes to the purchase of such products with apparently no return whatever in increased efficiency of the flock.At the present time, when the margin between cost of production and returns from eggs is extremely small the expenditure of money for products of this nature is hardly justified.THR WET PARADE (Continued from page 8) Gin,\u201d and sold it to the Park Avenue millionaire trade.It was Kip's job to £o back and count barrels and check receipts, time and agiin, until each of the Holy Angels, as he called them, had taken him off in turn and paid him cash.In the end he had the satisfaction of seeing the patrol-wagon drive up and load the saintly seven on board.These brothers were active politicians, contributing generously to the Tammany machine; but that didn't help them 50 much in violating the Federal law.For that it was safer to be Republicans! \u201cGet money!\u201d said the world to Kip Tarleton.\u201cGet rich!\u201d It was America, the land of unlimited opportunities, and it was 30 easy to \u201cmake your pile\u201d \u201cNverybody's getting\u2019 theirs \u2014 why don't you get yours?What's the matter with you, boy?\"-thus spoke New York.There were 30 many brilliant and fascinating and thrilling things to Spend money fort Kip would come out of the office at the foot of Park Avenue, and see the darlings of for~ tune lolling on cushioned seats, in lim~usines with balloon tires and lv- eried chauffeurs and footmen; from that he would plunge Into the ill.amelilng subway, and drop in his nickel, and be packed and sealed like asparagus in a can.He would lunch on a sandwich and a glass of milk at & drugstore counter, and then enter one of the rich hotels and see lawbreakers and their ladles dining in royal state.He saw perfectly tatlored garments, and shimmering silks and glittering jewels; he saw all the treasures of the earth revealed to his eyes \u2014but protected from his hands by plate-glass windows.It was a fact that the best brains of the country were being set to the task of tempting Kip Tarleton to spend money; preparing allurements, physical, mental, and moral, every sort that the wit of man could devise.Tralned psychologists were put at work, a whole new sclence was devised, to set traps for his pocket-book, to extract the contents therefrom.Kip himself was no philosopher, and had but a scanty notion of the social system under which he lived; but he feit the impact of these temptations, which there was no escaping, even though he became a hermit in the wilderness.Sooner or later the hermit would have to come back to civilization to buy salt; and there would be the trader, offering him several brands of salt at varying prices, and and explaining that the best was necessary to his health.How was the hermit to know that all the various brands had come out of the same kettle?Kip was no hermit, but a citizen of Manhattan, now nearly thirty, and the father of a family; and what a disgrace to be s0 poor! When he walked the streets, the billboard advertisements assalled his eyes, and the radio-stores blared the same messages to his ears.When he was wedged in the subway car, he stared at adver- \" tisements; if he got a seat, and room to spread a newspaper, there was the appeal of \u201cnationally advertised products,\u201d holding out rewards, and warning of dire penalties if he falled to take the national advertisers\u2019 advice.Did he realize that the diet of his family would be deficient in vitamin C, if he failed to feed them the juiee of six dosen California oranges per diem\u2014at a price slightly less than the entire salary Kip's government was paying him?Did he realize that his gums would decay unless he protected them with Mugg's Mouthwash, at seventy-three cents per bottle in the chain drugstores?Did he know how apt he was to develop cancer of the throat, unless he used Coughless Cigarettes, treated under a process endorsed by twenty-two thousand heads of American hospitals?By responding to even a few of these allurements, Kip might easily have spent his monthly salary every day; he might even have spent all the bribes that were offered him, and stiil have fallen short of true elegance and refinement in his home.But Maggie May continued to wear her blue silk dress in which she had come to New York; and Kip went about his grim duties in g suit which had served him at Broadhaven.When .he was thrown out of a speakeasy on PIMPLES once deity.mont which will Clear up your skinl his head, and found his coat ripped up the back, his mother sewed it as neatly as possible, and he went on wearing it.He looked tired, and discouraged now and then, but he plodded on, driven by a deep-rooted mal- ady\u2014stubbornness, fanaticism, perversity as yet unclassified by the psychiatrists.The very men whom he was hounding would look at him, puzzled, as if he were a five-legged calf or a Lird with fur instead of feathers.\u201cSay, feller,\u201d said Ikey Fineman, \u201cwhat's the matter with you?Are you funny in the head?\u201d (To Be Continued.) the Bank of perity of Canada as à whole, _ BANKOF Established \u20181817 Total Ascetz in encoes ol §750,000,000 OF, BY and FOR CANADA A LARGE part of the meee than $6,0,000,000 of depasiss in is Canadian money deposits of sue cns- tomas in eur more thas Goo branches theougheut the Dominion, Much of this money is loaned eut co \u2018aid worthy industrial and commercial enterpcises in the vasious comsmanities in which the Bank is tepresented and to promets che pros- MONTREAL 5 BUSINES Ë FARMERS\u2019 S BRIEFS ADVERTISING RATES.\u2014Under this heading sdverilsements will be Inserted without display at 8 cash-with-order rate of three cents per word per insertion (minimum charge 43¢ per inser Mon)./SIX esnsecutive Insertions will be given lor the price of POUR (minimum rate lor six Insertions $1.00.)

It was precisely such an impression that was made upon us à few weeks ago when the Connecticut Senator appeared on the screen in a movie- talkie news reel making his little speech about 4 per cent beer.We confess that the proposal In itself does not stir us to any violent reaction.If it offered any real solution.to the problem of conflicting views, tastes and interests with which we are confronted in every effort to prohibit, or curb, \u2018the liquor traffic, many, as well as ourselves, would not_ oppose such a measure.But honest and thinking men know that 4 per cent beer is either only a pretext for the restoration of the traffic in stronger liquors, or that It would speedily become a step toward a larger program of wetness.If anyone doubts ' this, let him consider what happened in Ontarlo, where the legalisation of 44 per cent beer, as the proposed happy solution of the prohibition and liquor problem in a drink that would be strong enough to satisfy the \u201cwets\u201d and temperate enough to satisfy the \u201cdrys,\u201d was followed in about a year\u2019s time by the restoration of the full traffic in strong drink with the government itself as liquor-seller.But, apart from the futility or value of Senator-Bingham's \u201cwet\u201d proposal, can one avoid reflecting upon the sorry spectacle of a son of missionary parents and a professed statesman with \u2018nothing better to offer than 4 per cent beer in the hour of his country's dire need and crisis?With millions of his fellow citizens out of work, dependent upon publie or private doles for their very subsistence, and thousands of them, lacking such aid, on the very verge of starvation, here is a brilliant statesman who offers his needy countrymen 4 per cent beer! T And an even sadder part of it is the realization that a large number of American citizens, despite the present crisis, would give the Senator more support in his near-beer program than in a clear-cut and constructive program of practical idealism, assuming that Senator Bingham had any such program to offer.A portion, at least, of the American peopie is getting the sort of statesmanlike (?) leadership that it asks for and deserves.But considering his ancestry and background, one might surely expect something better from Senator Hiram Bingham.\u2014The Congregationalist, Boston.I REQUESTED POEMS | ACKNOWLEDGMENTS \u2018Phe Witness wishes to thank the following for pleces sent in: \u201cThe Charge of the Old Hundred,\u201d J.R.Marks, PEI; \u201cTwenty- \u2018Third Psalm,\u201d Mre.Percy Luston, Ont; \u201cThe Bald-Headed Man,\u201d Mrs.Wellington Titus, NB; \u201cAnnsbel Lee\u201d and \u201cTake \u2018Those Lips Away,\u201d by \u201cGlen-Wotty,\u201d Ont.; \u201cMemoirs of Mother,\u201d Dave Burns, Ont.\u201cThe Teacher's Disdem.\u201d and \u201cGlorious Vision,\u201d by May Bullock, Ont.(Sent by Deve Burns, Ont.)
