thoughtlessly written pages have in many cases helped to throw up smoke screens which have hidden them.Wild schemes and promise of quick cures have caused the temporary abandonment of age-old human experience.You know that in the past no scheme, plan, or program has made alfalfa spring up in our fields.Your own individual attention to the needs of this crop was necessary.So it has been with the feeding and the milking of the cows and every other enterprise of the farm.It has been your sweat, your application to the individual problems of your particular job that has helped you most to improve your homes, educate your children, clothe and feed your familles.Why guess or speculate too much on the future?What you know of the past is a counsel in helping you meet the future~Exchange.Pompous Parent\u2014\"I hope that, now you are marrying my daughter, you realize you are getting a large-heart- ed, generous girl.\u201d Successful Suitor\u2014\u201cI do; and I am

ie» Son ARN a.So ha Mrs, Henry Wilson Provincial President of W.C.T.U.Correspondence Athelstan, March 28, 1932 Editor of the Gleaner, Huntingdon, Dear Sir:\u2014 I feel I cannot do other than speak of what is uppermost on the minds of the temperance people of this County, that we are sorry that our County which has stood out as a banner County for so many years in holding its Prohibition by-law should give way, we had hoped for better things.We appreciate very much the letter of Mr.Brownlee in last week\u2019s issue of your paper.and hope that its contents may burn into the consciences of every one who voted for liquor, until they realize that theirs is such a great responsibility that they will have no rest day or night until they are willing to do their bit to win back our lost ground.We want to thank all those who voted for by-law No.49, and all those who so willingly helped to uphold it by bringing out our temperance people.We want to thank the Clergy, who led in personal effort, and by warnings from the pulpit tried to lead and guide all those\u2019 who came within sound of their voice.For the present we must face the facts, remembering that we live in a demrocacy, and must abide by the will of the majority, even though we know the majority is wrong.We were never more confident than we are to-day that the principle of total abstinence for the individual and prohibition for the nation is the right one.The policy of Government Control or as we should call it Government Sale, has been on trial long enough to prove conclusively that its interests is not temperance, but on the contrary, seeks to encourage drinking and to swell the coffers of its income.Surely the promotion of those things that stand for the good of the Home, the purity and protection of our Young People, and the welfare] and happiness and safety of human beings means much more to us as a County, than the revenue {rom the sale of a poison, of which even the smallest quantity taken will cause the brain to cease to co-ordinate.The liquor interests have been working for this for years, and at the last saw to it that the time allotment would be very brief for much education and enlightenment in regard to the past failures of Government Control.Government Control is a partnership between the Government and the liquor business, and they are out to make money.and to bring ebout the ruin of our Young People by creating an appetite for strong drink in so many stealthy ways.We need a temperance organization in every municipality, and we need to make greater efforts along educational lines.Temperance needs to be taught in our Sabbath Schools and in our day schools as never before.Our boys and girls gnust know the harmful effects of alcohol on the human system.and the brain, which is the most delicate membrane of the body, and the first point of alcohol's attack.The people of Huntingdon County must be aroused to the fact that this is the task of not a few, but of everybody who has the highest interests of the County at heart.We need every woman a White Ribboner and we need the loyal support of the Church and the Home.We are not discouraged by the result of the referendum on March 18.God lives, and rules, and answers prayer.For as surely as God lives and humanity responds to the appeal of Truth, just as surely will the day of victory come and to this end the White Ribboners of Huntingdon County will re-dedicate themselves.Yours in the work, MARGARET M.WILSON Another Ontario Comparison Our automobile licences may be higher here than in Ontario but when we compare the tax rates I think we'll come to the conclusion that old Quebec isn\u2019t such an expensive province to live in after all.Here are three examples of taxation in Ontario: The tax rate at Al- monte has been set at 63 mills this year, at Orillia it is 58, and in Petro- lia 50.Collingwood boasts that its tax rate is only 47 mills.Huntingdon, an incorporated town has a tax rate of 17 mills.The parish of St.Malachie d'Ormstown has a tax rate of 2 mills, AN ANCIENT GUILD Danish jewelers have recently celebrated the 500th anniversary of the foundation of their guild.This ancient guild was sponsored by King Eric of Pomerania in 1420.Fittingly with the celebration were exhibited specimens of the jewelers art valued at many millions of dollars.CAR STUCK IN HIGHWAY SNOW Engineer Fails to Notice Signals of Men and Engine Smashes Into Farley's Stalled Auto i Unable to attract the attention of the train crew, a small group of men saw the 10.15 a.m.Delaware & Hudson train to Lake Placid crash into the rear of an auto which they were trying to extricate from a snow bank to get it off the tracks where it had stalled.Thomas Farley, Fort Covington, was driving north on Pine street and after the front end of his car had crossed over the tracks the front wheels of the car became stuck in the deep snow on the road.Alfred Buckland, Lawrence Banker and A.Demerse, all of Saranac Lake, were attracted by Farley's plight and assisted him in trying to move the stalled car, but were unsuccessful.After working some minutes they heard the approaching train and ran down the track to signal it.It was reported that the engineer did not see the signals of the men and the engine crashed into the rear of the car, jolting it off the tracks.The train was 30 minutes late in leaving the Saranac Lake yards, and as it was gathering momentum for the run to Lake Placid, was brought to a halt after the crash.The car was badly damaged and may have to be junked, as the chassis was badly bent and the rear was badly smashed.Farley holds insurance on the car, which was a 1928 light sedan.There was no damage to the locomotive.Farley claims that he had gone but a few inches out of the tracks previously made by automobiles crossing the tracks at this point.\u2014(Saranac Enterprise) Milk Producers Badly Underpaid Mail and Empire (Toronto) We think that the milk producers of Ontario have a case.They represent that they are receiving on an average only two and three-quarter cents per quart from the dealers, while the consumers in the city are paying ten cents per quart.The hiatus indicated appears to be extravagant.The farmer , certainly, cannot make morey at two and three cents a quart.It is doubtful if he will continue to maintain his herd unless there is a change for the better.In that event milk will become scarce and | prices will go upward.In: the interests of city consumers, therefore, as well as in the interests of farmers, the whole situation should be promptly reviewed, The Government may, we think.grant the request of the Ontario Milk Producers' Association for a thoroughgoing inquiry into prices and conditions.The difference between what the farmer gets and what the city consumer pays is, of course, laryely explained by the costs of collection, transportation.distribution and pasteurization.But there is something wrong somewhere and action ought to be taken in the interests of all concerned.Dundee Centre By \u201cPeggy\u201d Miss Elizabeth Ferguson of Montreal, spent the Easter holidays at the home of her brother, Mr.and Mrs.Peter Ferguson.Miss

Shawinigan Falls and Were Defeated by Lachute Academy in Montreal On Saturday, Huntingdon Academy /| piayed hockey at Shawinigan Falls, having been invited there by Mr.D.R.Wilson, president of the School Hockey League of the province and also chairman of the School Board of Shawinigan Falls High School.The local boys were accompanied on this trip by their coach, Mr.C.L.Beatty.The Academy returned to their best playing form after having an off day against Lachute on Thursday and showed smart hockey to come out winners by a score of three to one.The ice was not the best but fast hockey was played by both teams.The first half was under amateur code of rules whilst the last half was played under pro rules.Huntingdon made a goal in the first period, Billy Boyd scoring on an assist from Proudfoot.The Academy guarded this lead until mid way in the third period when Hodges evened the count for the Falls.It began to look like overtime when Chambers stole the puck from a Shawinigan player and stick-handled his way through the defence to put Huntingdon one ahead.Shortly after this Kirby stopped a rush at mid ice, broke fast, and made things sure with a fine effort, scoring with about only three minutes left to play.Huntingdon held out a desperate Shawinigan attack until the final whistle.The teams were entertained after the game in the Shawinigan High School.Lachute Team Won Players representing Lachute Academy defeated the Huntingdon Academy hockey team by a 4-2 score in a match played at Montreal Forum on Thursday.The game was interesting throughout and the smart work of Langille in goal largely accounted for the victory.Scores were made by Chambers and Kenny for Huntingdon.Lachute Huntingdon Goal Langille .McGill Defence McFaul .Kenney Drew .covvinn.Proudfoot

Miss Blanche Latour of Montreal, spent the week-end at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Eloi Quenneville.The Reason Why One frequently hears expressions of surprise that newspaper advertising rates have not dropped the same as other commodities, Such opinions are not founded on a business understanding of the nature of the work of printing and publishing.Actually, In the face of reductions in production costs in almost every other business, the task of getting out a newspaper is virtually as costly as ever.Linotype machines, mat-casters, presses, type and equipment continue to wear out in good times as in bad, and the same sums must be lald aside each year for their replacement.News gathering is just as costly as ever.There is nothing of a newspaper's overhead, virtually speaking, that has reduced or can be reduced, except the minor items of the newsprint of which the publication is printed.Rather, as advertising revenue drops, the cost per page creeps up.Moreover, a newspaper dare not curtail its news features to cut expenses, without running the risk of seriously affecting its circulation, and this, of course, simply means less value per advertising dollar.It is interesting to note that the above are not the views of The Bul- above are not the views of one newspapers throughout Canada.A recent survey conducted by The Canadian Printer and Publisher, has indicated that the suggestion of advertising rate-lowering is greeted with a resounding \u201cNO.\u201d The following excerpt from one of the replies received from an Ontario newspaper is an interesting commentary: \u201cRain or shine\u2014good business or poor business\u2014forty pages, twenty pages or ten\u2014profit or no profit until the sherif! tacks a sign on the door, a newspaper has to be published at the same or higher cost per column of content, or tne business ceases to exist.There is no department of our business which can be safely suspended.There are no dull months or weeks when the factory can be closed, left in the hands of a watchman, or employees laid oft, overhead cut down and the executives sent for a holiday.\u201d A visitor calling on a man who had the credit of being a lively heckler at political meetings said: \u201cWhat's that, Mike.that you have In the g'ass case?\u201d \u201cOh, that's the brick I got agin my head at the last election.\u201d \u201cAnd what's that

Association; Ontario-Quebec Newspaper Association; Class A.Weekly Group; Ottawa and St.Lawrence Valley Press Ass'n.Subscription rates, Canada $1.50 year; Foreign $2.00.Agents: A.Beaudin & Son, Ormstown, Que.J.O'Neil, Valleyfield, Que.Huntingdon, Que., Wednesday, March 30th, 1932 The Water Rate Revision During the latter months of 1931 a good deal of discussion took place at the Town Council meetings pertaining to water rates charged in Hun- tingdon.It is a known fact that the water rates presently charged are not sufficient to carry the cost of operation, and provide for the replacement of the water system when worn out.As a result of that water rate discussion, a few specific rates were raised, but that is not all that is necessary to make the system carry itself.A number of towns are confronted with this very same problem.Here in the Province of Quebec are two small cities that are making a move to overcome this predicament at this very moment.Lachine is installing meters, and at Granby flat rates are being revised, or meters may be optionally installed.We believe a number of our readers will be interested in reading what rates Granby is about to adopt, and for that reason we are reproducing that portion of their by-laws.Discount of 5 per cent will be allowed to those who pay their account within 30 days from the time the account is made out, except for persons who have water meters.Each apartment, house, building, industry or structure of any kind will be submitted to the following annual tax for the use of drinking water from the Corporation of the City of Granby.(a) Each family or anyone using the same faucet of 3\" in diameter, $7.50, (b) Closet or toilet, $2.40.Each additional closet or toilet will be subject to an additional tax of 50 cents.te) Bath-tub $2.40.Each additional bath-tub 50 cents.(d) Animals: cow or horse, each $.50.(e) Store or other business place $12.00.(f) For hydraulic washing motor $3.00.(g) Meters\u2014Consuming less than one million gallons, .18 per 1,000 gallons; consuming over one million gallons, .15 per 1,000.(h) Any person using water from the aqueduct may have the preference of using the meter, which measures the water, or the tax charge mentioned in Clause 17, section G, with a minimum charge of $15.00.(I) Restaurants, laundries, factories, photographers\u2019 studios, work shops of all kinds, and any other establishment requiring more water than the quantity specified for the above tax, must pay a special amount which will be assessed by the Committee in charge of the aqueduct, or if this Committee find it necessary, the water used by these establishments will be measured by a meter and the tax mentioned in Clause 17, Section G, will be applied.(j) The meters will be furnished and installed by the Municipality and an additional yearly rent will be charged to the proprietor, equal to 15% of the cost of meter and installation.This amount will be payable yearly or one-twelfth of the amount monthly.(k) Use of hose for sprinkling, maximum 7,\u201d in diameter.Although hose has not a special faucet, they will be taxed at $3.00 per year for 3 hours service every 24 hours.Automatic sprinklers for lawns and gardens $5.00 per year.(1) For fountains or lawn-sprinklers not exceeding a : inch pipe, $10.00.For each additional !i inch pipe, $10.00.(m) For all works, whatever, situated outside the City limits, the charges will be double the tax for water and double the charges for all different items as those charged wthin the City limits.(n) Water used for finishing of construction work will be taxed and paid in advance after being verified by the City Engineer as follows:\u2014 For each cubic yard of concrete work 0.04.For each thousand bricks used 0.03.For each thousand square yards\u2019 For each area of plastering 4.00.For each cubic yard of masonry 0.14.For each 1000 blocks of cement 1.00.In the case of large construction work such as a private house, where it is hard to estimate the exact quantity which will be used, the City will maintain the privilege of installing a meter, charges to be similar to those mentioned under Clause 17, Section G.Arrears will carry interest at 85c per annum.Persons not paying their tax will have the water cut off without notice and the amount due will be collected by means of seizure or sale as with other Municipal taxes.With this schedule to work from, our Municipal Council can make some move towards finding a solution for the benefit of Huntingdon.In conclusion might we remind our Council that the best time to make a move in this direction is now; do not wait until the last few weeks of the year and then amend the by-law with a rush, and without satisfying results to the town treasury or to the ratepayers, where one pays too little and another too much.Pedlar\u2014One That Travels About Hawking Small Wares \u2018The above is the definition of a pedlar.The pedlar is quite often a general nuisance and sells his wares to the household at a price beyond that asked by local stores.The pedlar sells his goods at a handsome price, gets the cash and does the town no good.This is the time of year when pedlars come about rural towns such as Huntingdon, Ormstown, Howick, ete.Such a man now comes under a disguise, claiming he is \u201cThe \u2014\u2014\u2014 Man.\u201d But what does that mean; it means he takes your order and delivers the goods at a later date.It's a mild way of evading being called a pedlar, and also a way of evading paying a business tax to the municipality.The next time you have one of these individuals call at youn door turn him a deaf ear, and at the same time tell him to sell his merchandise to the local merchants and that you will buy it from them.You can huy cloth, aluminum or brushes or whatever it may be cheaper aû the stores, and at the same time the profits made from the sale will come back to you, because the merchants must buy something that you sell.These glorified pedlars under the disguise of \u201cThe Man\u201d receive around 407; commission on what they sell.Their expenses of operation are high, compared with the wholesale merchandising system practised through retail merchants, therefore it stands to reason your local merchant can sell you cloth, aluminum, brushes or what not, at a lower figure than these travelling men.Be united, and turn these men down regularly and in a short time the selling and manufacturing companies will recognize that we do not favour buying in this manner but prefer dealing with the bona fide retall distributors who pay taxes and support all enterprises in the community.Babe Ruth Signs His Contract One day last week nearly every newspaper in the United States and Canada carried a despatch from St.Petersburg, Florida, to the effect that \u201cBabe\u201d Ruth, the greatest home run hitter and possibly the greatest attraction in modern baseball, had signed his contract, and that said contract called for a salary of $75,000 for the year, equal to the salary paid to President Hoover, of the United States.Everyone was satisfied weeks ago that Ruth was going to sign that contract, and it was pretty generally understood what the financial aspect would be, but not until the announcement was actually made that Ruth had signed was the baseball public relieved.They seemed to feel better once Ruth had affixed his signature to his contract, thus assuring them that this colorful ball player would once more draw the people to the ball parks by the hundreds of thousands.Much publicity was obtained because of all the ifalk preceding the signing, all of which will be reflected in the box office receipts.With Ruth taking his regular place on ths New.York American League team the baseball season in the United States can open at any time, i A Scotchman Named Cousineau Maxime Cousineau, a Scotchman in spite of his French name, did not live up to the characteristics of either race recently when he threw $8 in a furnace.\u201cIt was not worth looking at.It was too little,\u201d he told another incredulous Scotchman, Magistrate J.8.McKessock, in Sudbury, Ontario, police court recently when he was charged with vagrancy.\u201cMy feet went cold and I didn't have any work, and not enough money, and things weren't going right, so I just ran wild and threw everything in the furnace and jumped and danced around and hollered,\u201d he said.\u201cI just had on a pair of running shoes and two pair of silk sox.The running shoes were too tight and I cut them up with a knife, but that didn\u2019t make them any better so I threw them in the furnace.Then I thought my silk stockings were no good without shoes; they would not keep my feet warm and would soon wear away in the snow, so I threw them in the furnace too.All I kept was my coat and pants.\u201cI had some cigarettes, and I was sorry to see them go, for they are good amusement, but they went with the rest.\"He burned $6 too.\u201d Chief M.L.Maroney, who made the arrest, said, \u201cWell, I think we will take a look at you for a couple of days,\u201d his worship decided.Cousineau worked at a wood yard he said.Them he hopped a freight to see the world.It was cold riding the rods, and he dropped off to get warm.Family Average Age 76 Years At a birthday celebration at the home of August Demers, Pembroke, Ont., a family reunion unique and rather remarkable took place, when nine of the 10 surviving members of the Demers family, whose combined ages total 765 years, met together for the first time in many years.All are natives of Allumette Island, members of a typical French-Canadian family of 17, of whom 10 are now living.They are: Vincent, of Allumette Island.aged 86; Alphonse, Pembroke, 84; Baptiste, Pembroke, 83; Onesime, Chapeau, 80; Mrs.Justine Lafrance.Pembroke, 77; George.Pembroke, 75; Moise, Demers Centre, 73; Auguste, Pembroke, 72; Alex, Pembroke, 69; and Mrs.D.Bergeron, Sturgeon Falls, 66, All but Vincent, the eldest brother, were present at the birthday celebration, along with Mrs.Moise Demers and Mrs.Aug.Demers, and the reunion was a very happy one.It is doubtful if anywhere in Canada can be found a similar instance of family longevity.All are in good health, vigorous and active, and their children and grandchildren, if assembled together.would make a large company.A Way to Get Liberty Peter Sardini, 28, of Ossining, N.Y.bought two weeks of life and paid for it with \u201cinside dope\u201d on six murders.As they were getting him ready to die in the electric chair recently for killing Frank Zappo during a Brooklyn holdup he said: \u201cGet me a reprieve and I'll tell the district attorney plenty.\u201d The three assistant district attorneys from New York talked with him, flashed the word to Albany, and back came Governor Roosevelt's order for a 14-day reprieve.Sardini, it was learned, had given names of perpetrators of one slaying in Brooklyn, three in Manhattan, one in the Bronx and one in Highlands Falls.Five were \u201cride\u201d slayings, he said.In the Highland Falls \u201cride\u201d killing the victim was said to have been buried in an improvised grave.Struggling Barber Finds Legacy Thomas Fitzgerald, 60, of Towanda, Pa., hung up a \u201ccow for sale\u201d sign and prepared to shut up his barber shop and go to Ireland with $10.200 he found in a flour sack in an old house.The house was left him by his mother, Mrs.Jeremiah Fitzgerald, who died two years ago at the age of 96 leaving an estate ostensibly of only $500.The house had been unoccupied but Fitzgerald decided to clean it and try to rent it to supplement the meagre income afforded by his barber shop and his cow.A rusty key dropped out of a moth-eaten muff In the attic.The key unlocked the chest.In a drawer he found a sack.Out of the sack dropped dozens of rolls of old bills and $200 in gold.A Seventh Son Contest Odd contest between Italy and Poland has resulted in considerable advantage for the latter.In order to multiply his soldiers Marshal Pilsudski has established a system of State gifts and support to parents of the greatest number of male children.Every seventh boy born in one family becomes the godchild of the Polish President and gets a State savings book and cash.Recently the Polish President became the godfather to the three hundred and twelfth child, thus beating Italy, where the number of seventh boys reaches two hundred and sixty.Naples Feeds Circus Lions One hundred starving lons have captured the sympathy of Neapolitans.Men.women and children are making daily visits to the lot where the stranded Schneider Circus is encamped bringing with them food for the hungry beasts.Creditors of the circus at first decided to take it over and auction off the animals which in addition to the hundred lions, included tigers, monkeys, trained seals, horses, goats and dogs.But when it became apparent that an auction would realize very little they abandoned the idea.Gold Sank in Mud Nearly $500,000 in gold in bars sank in the mud at the bottom of Cherbourg harbor while a cargo of bullion was being unloaded from the liner Berengaria.The cargo packed in 426 kegs and worth $35,000,000, was destined for the Bank of France.The chain of a crane suddenly broke, and ten kegs crashed on the quay.Four of them burst and the other six bounced into the sea.Divers were sent down at once and recovered five kegs, It was discovered that the sixth had burst, and its contents were scattered on the harbor bed.Rooster With Four Legs A rooster with four legs was hatched at the hatchery of Edwin Skellett, of London, Ontario.Two afford means of locomotion, while the other two hang out behind in a rudder-like effect.Outside of the extra legs, the chick is normal and is in a splended condition of health.Chronicled News Bits Specially Written for The Huntingden Gleaner A Gasoline Style Show A gasoline style show was put on by the American Chemical Society at its meeting in New Orleans held recently.Instead of plain, old-fashioned gasoline, the proper scientific term today is \u201cgasolines,\u201d some for hot weather, others for cold, gasolines for heavy engines and for high-speed motors.All are products of \u201cfractionation,\u201d a cracking process which draws a substance as explosive as dynamite from one part of the oil still and from another a remarkable gasoline that can quench a lighted match.Scientists will discuss the latest plans for fitting these mixtures to motoring to drive engines faster, farther and more cheaply at a symposium on chemical engineering processes in the oil industry.Dr.R.T.Haslam, vice-president of the Standard Oil Development Company, who presides, said: \u201cWhile the automobile of a decade ago consumed approximately sixty-one barrels of crude oil annually, in recent years the motor car, with more speed and power, requires only 41 barrels, due to ever improving methods of refining.Stabilization of gasoline, making for greater ease of motor car operation in high and low temperature.consists in adjusting the volatility of the fuel.This is achieved by saving the lighter, more volatile parts of gasoline, from season to season, and adding them as required to make the finished product fit exactly the demands.\u201d Faithfulness Cost Dog's Life Robert A.Gillespie, Dundalk, hasrented a farm 11: miles east of Hanover, Ontario, and started out with a wagon-load of implements.There was a very heavy rain and unreasonable thunderstorm.Bob had left his premises that morning, and proceeded by way of the county road through Dundalk and Hopeville towards Hanover.The farm dog had been prevented from accompanying his master, but on being released about 8:30 it picked up the scent of the horses and finally overtook its master who had been driving the team while seated on the waggon, and who by this times was miles from home.But, alas for the faithful collle, fate had an undeserved and cruel end in store! While proceeding about eight rods in advance of the team a thunderbolt rent the air, hit the canine,\u2014and another dog was on its way to the happy hunting grounds.It was a sad ending for an animal which had used so much \u201cdog sense\u201d to be with its beloved master.Bob admits the crash was uncomfortably close and felt badly to think his dog was killed.The results might have been much more tragic, however, if the bolt had landed in the midst of man, horses and implements.When A Range Explodes The kitchen range at the home of A.A.Cunningham, Orillia, Ont., blew up, pieces flying through the window and door, and scattering the fire and fragments of the stove in all directions, The fire brigade was summoned, but the fire was quenched by the time they arrived.The stove was completely wrecked, being blown into fragments, the windows smashed, the door demolished, the window curtains burned and a few dents made in the walls.Before going to school Watson Cunningham had started the fire in the range in which the \"water, circulating through the firebox, or the pipes leading to it had evidently frozen during the night.Steam generating in the water jacket is thought to have caused the explosion.Fortunately no one was in the kitchen when the explosion occurred.Cat Had Siamese Triplets Janie and two of her \u201cSiamese triplets\u201d are doing well.Janie, of nondescript origin, was just a pet cat of the pathological laboratory of Boston City Hospital until she entered the hall of scientific fame.The story of her rise can be told briefly.Janie gave birth to a litter of five kittens, of which three were joined together in the manner of Siamese twins.When the litter was discovered one of the triplets had died and the other two seemed doomed to a simi~ lar fate.So the best of surgical skill was called into play.Within an hour the dead kitten was disunited.Three surgeons went to work with ether and scalpel in which none of the care and skill usually reserved for humans was spared.The two remaining kittens were severed from each other after ether had been administered.The next day they showed no ill effects from the operation and were manifesting the same healthy activity as the other two in the litter.Outfit Men's Clothing $6.25 Complete outfict of men's clothing can be obtained in Berlin for $6.25.The depression, combined with abnormal competition for what trade there is and the price-cutting campaign undertaken by the Government, has resulted in some extraordinary bargains being offered.A man can buy a suit for $2.35, a coat for $1.60, shoes for 80 cents, a shirt for 26 cents, He can buy a hat, a tie, socks, a collar, cuff-links, gloves and a handkerchief for another $1.26.A woman\u2019s outfit in a shop in the same district is advertised for less than $3.Lights Out as Eastman Died Ever since a portrait of George Eastman was hung in the Eastman School of Music, at Rochester, N.Y, a light had been kept burning continuously over the picture.At noon the school janitor noticed the light was out, although a few minutes before it had been burning.He was at a telephone calling for a new bulb when news of Mr.Eastman's death reached the school.Dog Saves Young Master Buried alive for more than two hours beneath a ton of earth, Dale Leffering, 16, Fanning, Kan., farm youth, was rescued by members of his family attracted by the excited barking of a little dog.\u2018The youth crawled into a cave after a rabbit on the farm of his parents.One of Dale's dogs fled and hid beneath the house after the cave-in.The smaller one stood by and barked.Dog Friendly to Rats A police dog that plays with white rats, the entire group being on the best of terms, is owned by Kenneth Laurence, of London, Ont.Such a comrad- ship is described as unusual and extraordinary.Police dogs usually attack rats, no matter their color, but not so in this instance.The dog plays with the rodents for hours at a time and does not hurt them, \u2014 Howick Village (Intended for last issue but delayed on account of mail service.)

home is still theirs.They can live in it and have time to await better times.Besides that nothing has greater potential value than a well built house, in a good location.Keep the house in good repair constantly and as the years go by your property will increase in value.If you are going to build, especially in a new development, buy your lots through a reputable local dealer.Ask his advice as to the location.If you can possibly afford to do so, buy two \u2014even more than two lots\u2014because in a good, modern development your lots will constantly increase in value and sometime in the future you may desire to enlarge your house.A firm of Kansas City undertakers offers to bury all policemen free.You might cut this out and hand it to |, the one who gave you a parking ticket the other

Stock Used With hogs, eggs, milk, beef cattle, in fact almost everything produced on the farm down at levels undreamed of a few years ago there is a natural tendency on the part of the farmer to cut purchases to the bone.Only goods offered at similar bargain prices to what he must take for his own products make any appeal.And at a time like this there can be no question of the wisdom of such a course provided the bargains are genuine.No person would think of buying a horse, or a car, or a Cow which was offered at a very low figure, however without the most careful investigation and yet after all, any loss suffered in such a transaction would be forgotten in a year or two.In seed, on the other hand, there is a different story as Government surveys reveal the fact that a large proportion of the stuff sown in this country never sees the inside of a real cleaning plant and as a result the weed seeds bought with it cause worry and loss for years afterwards.Because of this life-long menace seed offered at bargain prices should be given much closer scrutiny than other purchases and there should be no temptation to buy anything that is not Government graded.Moreover in getting seed from doubtful sources there is always the risk of buying something that has actually been turned down by regular buyers because it could not be cleaned up even to meet requirements of the export trade which are not as high as the Dominion Government standards for domestic markets.And after all is said and done there is actually no saving in buying cheap ungraded seed, but generally a decided loss.Using seven pounds the difference between No.1 Red Clover and the \u2018bargain\u2019 kind will not amount to 50 cents per acre this spring and the difference between the best alfalfa and the other will not be more than 60 cents.Aside from the larger and cleaner crop which invariably results where good seed is sown, the little premium mentioned is cheap insurance when it is realized that No, 1 seed does not contain a single primary noxious weed seed, whereas the other kind, even if it graded No.3, and experience shows that it usually falls behind this low mark, will run around 25 seeds of the worst weeds.to the ounce or a total of 2,800 to the acre where red clover is sown at the usual rate, and 6,000 when 15 pounds of alfalfa is used.And these primary noxious weeds are very unwelcome visitors indeed on the average farm as they include such things as Couch Grass, Bladder Campion, Dodder, Ox Eve Daisy, Cockle, and Wild Mustard.Getting rid of even one of these will cost a great deal more than the 30 to 60 cents insurance charge on the No.1 grade seed.And finally a word about price.According to quotations now going out, prices this spring will be the lowest in 20 years.At a time like this when there have been harvested big crops of hardy Canadian grown red clover and also alfalfa it might be a good thing to lay in a two year's supply.Seed will keep perfect ly for two or three years, according to Government investigation, and seldom.say the same authorities, are there two crops in succession like the ones taken off last year.The Beaver Miss Margaret Dunlop

potatoes corn and beets.Fortified with the above knowledge, you can insist that your meals are planned according to the following specifications.The rules for meal planning are: 1.Select at least one food from each classification group for every meal.2.Use freely of foods which are laxative, such as bran and whole cereals.3.Serve two, or more, vegetables (other than potatoes) every day.Serve as many fresh vegetables and salad plants as possible.à.Serve fruit at least once a day.5.Include plenty of milk for both drinking and cooking purposes.6.Plan for the day, or for several days.rather than

.On the invitation of Miss Eva Lewis, the March meeting of the WC.T.U.was held at her home with\u2018 Mrs.van Vliet, on Tuesday last, and was done as a surprise for Mrs.Van Vliet.She was invited out for dinner that day, and, as soon as she had gone, Miss Lewis began preparations for entertaining the Union.A while after dinner, Mrs.Van Vliet was called by phone and told that Mrs.Jas.Ritchie had come to spend the afternoon with her, and was asked if she would come home.She came, and as she opened the door, she was.met by Miss Lewis, Mrs.Ritchie and as many of the other members of the Union as were able to come out, as the day was very stormy.Mrs.Van Vliet was indeed surprised and could scarcely realize what it was all about.But, shortly, the meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs.Frank Martin, who took charge of the devotional period.A few letters were read.One from Dr.W.Bowman Tucker, expressing thanks for letters of sympathy received, because of the serious accident which had happened to nim, and one from Mrs.McArthur, expressing appreciation of the gift of fruit from the Union, during her illness.Miss Ida Holiday expressed thanks from herself and her brother for similar gifts received.A letter was read from Mrs.Lyon, Provincial Treasurer, telling of the need of more funds for carrying on the work of the Provincial organization.It was moved, seconded and carried that the Union make two County Life members, costing $12.00, and that the money be used for the different departments of the work which we are asked to help to maintain.Those to whom the honor was given, were Mrs.Colin McArthur and Mrs.Mac Ruddock.Merch is the month in which election of officers takes place.The president, secretary and treasurer each gave her resignation, and those appointed to these offices were Miss Irene Haliday, president; Mrg.Carr, vice-president; Mrs, Caldwell secretary; Mrs.Mac Ruddock, asst.e secretary; and Mrs.Ferguson, treasurer.The appointment of Superintendents was left for the next meeting.At the close of the meeting an- cther surprise awaited Mrs.Van Vliet, when she was asked to come forward and an address was read by Miss Irene Holiday and a beautiful bridge lamp presented to her by Mrs.James Ritchie, on behalf of the Un- jon.The following is the address: Dear Mrs.Van Vliet: Before you leave us, we, your fel- low-members of the

signed.Although so completely taken by surprise, Mrs, Van Vliet succeeded in thanking these kind friends and expressing her appreciation of the gift.She also invited them all to visit her in her future home in Lacolle.and to have a visit and a cup of tea under the rays of this fine lamp.À bountiful supper was then served by Miss Lewis, assisted by a few of the members of the Union.It was then time for the meeting to come to a close, all having enjoyed the afternoon, and expressing thanks to Miss Lewis for her kindness in providing the entertainment.Miss May Rodger came from Montreal on

competition of bakers in the production of a variety of loaves in size and quality is not entirely a modern feature.Away back in the Middle Ages, so chroniclers of history tell us.bread commonly used in England was of varied degrees in fineness and color.About the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries the finest and whitest bread was known as the simnel bread.which graced the tables of the most affluent and those of high rank.The waste] bread was most common among the middle classes, while a cheaper loaf was the light bread or juffe.An inferior kind of bread was known as cocket.Tourte bread.used extensively among the humble folk and the monks of monasteries, had an inferior in the trete, or brown.bread, while all sorts-, or black bread made of various kinds of grain infer- jor to wheat, ranked lowest among breads.As far back as the thirteenth century.the profits of bakers were a matter for legislative enactment.«A general regulation was in force from the days of King John until the reign of Edward TI.if not later.through England (the City of London perhaps excepted) that the profit of the baker on each quarter of wheat was to be.for his own labor.three pence.and such bran as might be sifted from the meal: was to add to the prime cost of the wheat, for fuel and wear of oven, the price of two loaves; for the services of three men he was to add to the price of the bread three halfpence: and for two boys.one farthing, for the expenses attending the seal.one halfpenny.for yeast one halfpenny.for wood three pence.and for wear and tear of the bolter or bolting sieve one halppenny.\" states Chambers\u201d \u201cBook of Days.\u201d «In London, only farthing loaves and halfpenny loaves were allowed to be made, and it was a serious offence, attended by forfeiture and punishment, for a baker to be, found selling loaves of any other size.Loaves of this kind seem to have been sometimes smuggled into market beneath a towel, or beneath the folds of the garments under the arms.The daily call of the baker was.however, probably unknown in the Middle Ages.\u2014 FTER 48 years of successful operation in Western Canada, the Portage La Prairie Mutual

be the best for the purpose that it is possible to obtain,\u201d states T.F.Rit- chie of the Division of Horticulture of the Central Experimental Farm.Ottawa.The success or failure of a highly prized crop may depend to a very large degree upon the attention given to the proper preparation of the soil.Soils that are too fine in texture will not drain properly.and such a soil while it may be amply rich in plant food may lack only the addition of a little sand to make it satisfactory.On the other hand, a deficiency of humus will have a tendency to allow the soil to compact which is likely to prevent even root development, and also does not permit of a proper distribution of moisture through the soil.The late Mrs Robert Furey Mrs.Annie Furey passed to her eternal reward on Wednesday, March

transportation problem across the vast deserts of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico failed.Old documents unearthed in San Antonio reveal that in 1856.Davis, then Secretary of War, imported 72 camels into Texas for use in transporting cargo over the lonely wastes of the west.Only lowly burros were used as beasts of burden in the desert and it appeared that the camel, which is a mush faster animal, would solve the problem.The camels did\u2014during the rainy season.But after several weeks of work during the arid summer weather the camels, their feet torn to shreds by the small flint rocks, fell to their knees.These small rocks, it secms, are peculiar to American deserts.As the camels could not be shod they were useless.The entire consignment was pensioned on a grassy reserve in Arizona, but it was believed most of them were killed by Indians who were frightened at the lumbering animals as they raced about.ANIMALITIES In a cat show in England there was exhibited a cat which was completely

then wonder why we did not more readily solve the solution to our present difficulties.ee If they happen to have found a way out of the muddie in which the world finds itself today, they will probably wonder how it was that problems that are so simple of solution puzzled the wits of the people then dealing with them.Here a few of the paradoxes that make life hardly worth living for the statesmen and men at the head of business afflairs.There is, on the one hand, a huge stock of suppMes of all kinds of consumable goods.On the other hand.there are hosts of people who are unable to get their hands on enough consumable goods to keep body and soul together.Canada has railway mileage enough to serve three times her present population and the only hope for her railways is to treble the number of people in Canada.It is declared that Canada has more people today than she is able to support in comfort and that large additions to her population would spell ruin for the few who are living in Canada now.Theatges and places of amusement, have no difficulty in drawing crowds who pay their good money for amusement, Thousands are wondering where the next meal and bed is to come from.It is gravely asserted that a policy of putting pcople back on the land to grow farm produce is the one hopeful remery to end unemployment.Farmers contend that there is too much farm produce being raised now and that it is impossible to dispose of what the present farms are producing, so why increase the number of farmers?Banks are bulging with deposits and there was never more money nt the command of the people than is now represented by the savings accounts of the people.Yet merchants complain that there is no money in sight and that no one seems to have cash with which to buy goods of any kind.And just to make up good measure Canada grows the finest and most abundant crop of apples that can be found in the world and her people find it cheaper to buy imported oranges and bananas, when they want fruit to consume.Canadians talk and write about promoting empire trade, and buy 206 million dollars\u2019 worth of iron products from the United States and 19 million dollars\u2019 worth from Great Britain in a year.This generation need not kick if a later generation decides that it was touched in the upper story.DOMINION STATISTICS According to a Bulletin issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, births registered in February in 54 cities of Canada numbered 6780, deaths 3.872, and marriages 1,780, as compared with 6,516 births, 4,128 deaths and 2,039 marriages in February of last year, showing an increase of 4 per cent in births and decreases of 6 and 12 per cent in deaths and marriages respectively.Births registered during the two months January and February of this year totalled 13608, deaths 7.882 and marriages 3,668, as against 13,640 births, 8,186 deaths and 4.042 marriages in the corresponding months of 1931, The reduction in births was very slight, but In deaths it amounted to 4 per cent and in marriages to 9 per cent.When two ex-service men get together and swap stories, some interesting issues are forthooming.but when two veterans who fought on opposite sides, and were in actual combat against each other commence to reminisce the occasion is epochal, says the Niagara Falls Review.Such an event happened at the Queenston bridge when a German flight leu- tenant of the famous Baron Reich- toffen squad, and an immigration officer, who had been a filght sergeant in the Royal Air Force, met and discovered that they had actually encountered each other during the war.The men, Francks Vollier now residing in Toronto, and Inspector Les- lle Flowers of Niagara Falls, Ont.had this novel conversation when Vollier went to the bridge office to cbtain information regarding entrance to the United States.Voller said that he was a representative of an airplane company and in further- conversation elicited the information that he had been a flyer with the German forces.Here the conversation ripened Jor the inspector had seen service in the flying cor the British army.wing pe of Lieutenant Vollier then produced rome interesting papers and a small medal, which all Reichtoifen's flyers possess, and showed them to Inspector Flowers.And on this revolved another point for the immigration offi- ced had been in a division of the flying corps which had been concentrating against the German baron and his flvers.Further on one occasion HOW SHE KEEPS HER WEIGHT DOWN #1 do secretarial work, and therefore lead a more or less sedentary

Mag 1 ; j § STAR OF THE NORTH A Romance OF THE BIG WOODS In a densely wooded valley about fifty miles southwest of Montreal and some six or eight miles south of the majestic Saint Lawrence, and not many miles from the northern boundary of New York State, about the year 1845, a few French and English families had drifted in the hope of bettering -their condition after having struggled for an uncertain livelihood in the environment of Montreal, There they had chosen to locate, expecting to gain a living by trapping and fishing and tilling the fertile soil of the valley.A small garden, a flock of chickens and a cow would be luxuries to them.Twin spirals of blue smoke rose on either side of the creek, crept tendril- like up between tall pines, and clearing the feathery green crests of the trees drifted lazily upward until high above they spread out forming a thin hazy veil slowly drifting toward the Saint Lawrence.Each rose from a little log cabin hewn from the native balsams and chinked tightly with moss gathered from the lowlands of the big river valley.About each cabin a fence of closely woven branches of the red osier bush- ès served to keep small animals from the garden.The fence surrounded a rich plot of swale on which a few \u201cChôice vegetables were growing, rank and thrifty, for little eight-year-old Band Goodwyn was ambitious, working beyond his strength.Rand's father had died just after completing the homely but comfortable log cabin, His widow, Rand and little Katie were now depending wholly on their own resources for a living.Little Rand, though ambitious to help his widowed mother, was far too young to accomplish much toward the family larder.Luckily, his father had left him a good supply of steel fraps, and little Rand had been allowed to accompany him on one or two occasions when he looked after his trap line.However, Mrs.Goodwyn had worried so much over little Rand while on these trips TryMiss McFarlane\u2019s Favorite Recipe for BISCUITS 14 teaspoon salt 2 cups pastry flour {or 13;

friends or enemy it mattered not to them.For fully ten minutes Rand watched and listened, but seeing and hearing nothing, he picked up his hoe again and went doggedly at work on the next row.As Rand neared the lower end of the garden, his hoe turned up a nice fat angle worm which squirmed in the hot sun.Grabbing up a handful of dirt with the worm, he stuffed it into his trousers pocket and proceeded to unearth about a dozen more worms, which he deposited along with the other in his pocket, and with a glowing look of anticipation, his eyes roving as though to search all creation for some hidden enemy that might deprive him of his sport, he crept stooping along the fence to the rear of the cabin, raised the light un- resisting osier-netted fence and sneaked on tiptoe to the back porch.Cautiously he pulled a tamarack fishpole from beneath the vine-cov- ered osier lattice.Reaching again, he drew forth a bow and bunch of arrows, and then, apprehensive of being discovered by his mothér, he darted out the back way into the shadows of the forest.Then as suddenly he stopped with a little guilty feeling of deceiving his mother who, from sincere motives, had forbidden him going alone into the forest.\u201cWell,\u201d he soliloquized, \u201cEf 1 bring her a nice string o' fish, she hadn't orter care.\u201d Thereby freeing his conscience, he circled back of the Smith- wicks cabin, and thru his fingers whistled \u201cWhip-poor-will\u201d twice.He repeated and listened intently, then came the answering note, \u201cChick ® dee-dee-dee-e-e-e\u201d, shrill and \u2018plain from behind the swamp of sunflowers, which were just high enough to completely hide little Cristie from view.Almost instantly.she stood beside little Rand, her pretty curls flying about her head, her blue eyes sparkling joyfully, little red lips parted in a mischievous smile, \u201cHow'd ju git away, Rand?\u201d , \u201cEasy \u2018nuff, Ma don't know it, an 1 figger to bring her'n you back a string o' fish.\u201d \u201cOh, goody, I'll carry the bow'n arrers an\u2019 the fish too,\u201d exclaimed little Cristie.\u201cWall, now, don't be talking so loud er I won't take ye along.\u201d 80 saying, he started abruptly up the bank of the creek, little Cristie following close behind.CHAPTER II Rand\u2019s little sister Katie was a delicate child, very unlike her sturdy brother.Seldom, indeed, did she get beyond the garden, although she could take care of the chickens.She loved the wild flowers, which grew profusely in the nearby forest, but spent her time mostly with her mother in the cabin.Mrs.Bmithwicks had been very ly\u201d since Cristie's birth, thereby Cristie to be drawn prematurely into the intricacies of house- Keeping, and she had cheerfully ac- the situation without a mur- day; the sun was sending bright streaks of yellow light through the little openings between the branches of tall firs, which emitted the pleasant aroma of apples.Little Cristie dropped down on a mossy log.The boy's gait had been \u2018most too swift for her.Drawing a fishline from his pocket, Rand fastened it to his pole and, carefully approaching the creek, he crouched low in the rank bluegrass, which grew close to the bank of the creek.He then baited his hook with a choice pink worm, and slowly swung it out into the water.As the hook struck the surface there was a big splash.The boy jerked the pole upward, and up came a big speckled trout, which dropped directly in front of Cristie.\u201cOh! Oh!\u201d she almost screamed, and suddenly remembered she must keep quiet or Rand would send her home.Grasping the trout in both hands, she placed her thumb in its mouth and bent its head back till the vertebrae in the neck cracked, then breaking an alder bush, she made a crotch on which to string the trout.After pulling out another smaller one, Rand turned to the girl.\u201cHere, take this pole and fish here till I come back,\u201d he said.Picking up his bow and arrows, he started into the forest, but returned immediately to give her the worms, and to admonish her to keep quiet and be sure to stay there till he returned.The little girl was in a fever of excitement.Rand was her gallant knight.Only once had her father taken her with him on a fishing trip, and then he did all the fishing while she had to carry an old pail with a smudge in it, to keep the mosquitoes away.Now she could fight the insect pests with one hand and fish with the other, and in the excitement of pulling out big speckled trout, fly bites went unnoticed.Two hours passed.and the little girl had sixteen speckled beauties strung on the crotched bush.The trout had long since stopped biting, and Cristie was anxiously wateling for the boy's return.As she turned her eyes in the direction the boy had taken, she became fascinated at what she saw.Crouched on the far end of the log she was sitting on was a large, beau- tifully-colored cat, his eyes glued on the little girl, his tail going in perfect rhythm.As the girl moved, the great cat commenced a low purring, as though to hold his anticipated meal from flight.The little girl tried to scream as she realized the significance of the animal's actions.Then collecting her natural self-command, she softly sang, \u201cChick-a-dee-dee.\u201d Almost instantly came the answer.\u201cWhip-poor-will.\u201d Slightly startled, the cat stood erect.He had also detected another noise from up the creek.Mr.Smith- wicks.returning from his exploring trip to the foothills of the northern Adirondacks.stopped.as his exe caught a swaying motion some fifty yards to his right.Then came the chick-a-dee\u2019s song, and the answering \u201cwhip-poor-will.\u201d Then, as the cat stood erect, Mr.Smithwick\u2019's musket belched forth its deadly slug.With a piercing yell that echoed far through the jungle, the huge cat sprang high into the air, and rolled convulsively over and over till at last it ceased: to struggle.Shocked at her narrow escape, little Cristie was not over-excited.She had felt no fear until she saw the death-throes of the savage animal, and realized the danger that had threatened her.The big cat had scented the fish from afar, which had lured him to his death.As Mr.Smithwicks discovered his little girl so close to the dead animal he was too thankful that she was alive and unhurt to scold her for being so far from home.Rand arrived on the scene a moment later.\u201cHow come you tu chilluns hyar?vou'd orter know better than gittin\u2019 so far from hum; these \u2018ere woods is full of danger for babies.\u201d Rand resented being referred to as a baby.but was wisely silent.Cristle with true feminine instinct defended her little escort.\u201cWhy.Pa, Rand wanted to get a string of fish for his mother.an\u2019 I jes had to come too.\u201d Rand now proudly exhibited a cot- tontall, the trophy of his skill with bow and arrow.\u201cWal, now, whar's you' string 0 fish?\" Gleefully, Cristie now produced her catch, but tactfully refrained from enlightening her father regarding her success as ail angler.\u201cWal now, you uns make tracks fer hum: I'll have to skin the varmint fore I go.\u201d Down the creek they started.At the lower end of the swale, the old beaver dam could be plainly traced.and below the rippling water travelled over stones, hurrying toward the sea.The afternoon sun was trying hard to penerate the myriad of pine Neur a headache.-\u2014 ew ON Se Aw tw pue em SAS muscular pains.those who carry THE agonizing aches from neuralgia can be quieted in thesame way you would end Take some Aspirin tablets.Take enough to bring complete relief.Aspirin can\u2019t hurt anybody.Men and women bent with rheumatism will find the same wonderful comfort in these tablets.They aren't just for headaches or colds!

All\u2019 drag stores, in the familiar little box: needles sticking from the branches like the quills of a porcupine, and under the tall firs dusk was falling when the little pair reached home.Here little Rand insisted on Cris- tie\u2019s sharing half of the string of fish.The little girl objected.\u201cYew haint got no pa to help yew git sumpin\u2019 to eat, an\u2019 I hev.\u201d \u201cHuh; mebbe I ain't as big as your pa, but I kin git more'n he kin.\u201d Contemptuously, he threw the biggest half of the string at the little girl's feet, and strode away.At first the little girl was angry and had a notion to leave the fish where they fell.She started homeward, took a few steps, then repented, and, turning back, picked up the fish and ran home.Rand had misunderstood the little girl's generous refusal to accept the fish.It was her nature to be kind and she had acted upon the impulse of the moment, while Rand translated her refusal as a slight to his own capabilities, which stung his pride now that he was man of the house.Mrs.Goodwyn was glad to get the fish and rabbit, and instead of chiding her little son, looked with approval upon his success, wisely devining that in a short time he would be able to provide for himself and for her if properly encouraged in his ambitions.Rand had looked with much longing at the old musket his father had used, which now hung on wooden pegs behind the stove.\u201cLet the boy have the musket when he is ten years old.Ef he's got his father's grit he'd know how ter use it then,\u201d were Mr.Goodwyn's last rwords, and the boy's mother had told him that on his tenth birthday he could use his pa\u2019s gun.Cristie found her mother nearly prostrated because of her little girl's prolonged absence, and also her discovery of two strangers a short distance down the creek added to her worries.Strangers seldom came into their secluded nook of the forest, and these two men carried both axes and guns.\u201cI heerd the bluejays this mornin\u2019 an* I knowed right away that sum- thin\u2019 was comin\u2019 an\u2019 then T seed \u2018tu men sneakin\u2019 along the crik carryin\u2019 axes an\u2019 guns, an\u2019 yew off in the woods.Oh, Cristie, don\u2019t yew go like that agin, or I'll die shore.\u201d Cristie was deeply moved, and promised faithfully not to stray out of sight of the cabin again without first consulting her mother.Mrs Smithwicks had been a brave woman until her failing health had weakened her.Now she was near a nervous prostration.Little Cristie had been faithful, and now she was more concerned than ever over the mother\u2019s weakness.It was dark when Jim Smithwicks walked silently into the cabin, the beautiful panther skin rolled up under his arm.\u201cOh, Cristie, wha's your ma?\u201d The little girl silently pointed toward the bedroom, and Jim as silently entered.Anxiously he asked: \u201cWha\u2019s matter, Sal?\u201d \u201cOh, nuthing much, Jim.\u201d She turned listlessly on the bed facing him.\u201cJes got seat a leetle over Cristie bein\u2019 gone.An\u2019 Jim thar's two men prowlin\u2019 aroun\u2019 hyer with guns an\u2019 axes.\u201d \u201cNow, Sal, don\u2019 yew feel that way eny more.Cristie can take keer 0\u2019 herself alright, an\u2019 the men yew saw are jus\u2019 some lumber men lookin' fer timber.\u201d Although Jim was not over-ambi- tious, he was a devoted husband and did all he could to relieve his invalid wife.Handicapped as they were, sO far from civilization, they could not get medical aid.the nearest doctor being in Montreal.Mrs.Smithwicks continued to fail, and little Cristie soon had.in addition to housekeeping, the care of her bedridden mother.Brave little heart, it was indeed a blessing that she did not realize the serious condition of her mother.Cheerfully, she flew about the cabin keeping it spic and span, humming a little tune her mother had taught her years before.; Jim Smithwicks also was keeping the creek.Ever since Mr.Goodwyn had died.Jim had taken it upon himself to see how they were prospering.carefully keeping it to himself.for he knew the proud little widow would resent anything like charity coming from their neighbors across the creek.CHAPTER III Autumn was fast approaching; little Rand was proudly surveying his garden patch, and he was justly proud.for the rich soil had quickly responded to his efforts, and soon he would begin storing vegetables in the hole under the cabin, called cellar.Rand was daily gaining in muscle, and physical endurance.He was slow ALGIA an eye on the widowed family across if which they |: of speech, and used no useless words.When his mind was made up, it was always in the right direction.Now he shouldered his axe and started toward the hardwood timber g short distance east of their cabin, and soon the resounding blows of his axe Carried to the ears of Jim Smith- vricks.\u201cThet boy'll kill himself yit.Darned ef I ever seed sich a headstrong lad.Wouldn't take a mite 0\u2019 help, ef he wuz dyin'.\u201d Jim was thinking hard.He strode across the creek on a log bridge, which he and John Goodwyn had built when first locating their place of residence, and a moment later stgod before the boy Rand.The look looked up With a puzzled expression on his rugged countenance.Going to hev a wood pile, are ye?\u201d \u2018Thot I might as well git started on one,\u201d said Rand.\u201cNow look a hyer, Rand, you an\u2019 I might jus\u2019 as well git up our wood piles together, an\u2019 we kind do it a whole lot quicker\u2019n easier, too.No use each one workin\u2019 alone.\u201d As Rand had not yet formed an answer to his question, Jim continued: \u201cNow, ! got a yoke 0\u2019 oxen then yew takes the oxen an\u2019 skids the logs, an\u2019 I'll be cutten them up ready for the stove while yew is skiddin\u2019.\u201d The boy considered this for a few moments.\u201cYep; I'll do that away,\u201d he said.This plan worked as Jim intended it should.It not only put the hardest work (cutting the logs into stove wood) onto Jim, but elevated the boy's own sense of importance, as he now considered himself a man\u2019s equal in physical labor, which gave him a peculiarly delightful sensation.It was only a matter of a few weeks before each cabin had a substantial pile of wood, which carried them thru till spring.It was a hard winter.but little Rand's forethought brought them through without much suffering.and his little sister, Katie, was growing stronger.Rabbits were plentiful, and Rand snared enough for their needs, and with his bow and arrows he became an adept.Many partridges \u201cbudding\u201d in the vellow birches he brought down during the winter months, Mr.Smithwicks showed Rand how to make snowshoes.The frames were made from the Brown Ash logs, split into fine slabs and woven together by strips of buckskin cut from a deer Jim had previously shot.A big thaw the first of March settled the snow a few inches, then a hard freeze caused a thick crust.Jim fastened his snowshoes to his feet and early one morning started with his handsled for the settlement near Montreal for the purpose of exchanging his winter's catch of furs for a few needed groceries and clothing.Rand also had done some trapping with some success, and Mr.Smith- wicks had generously offered to take Rand's furs along.At first Rand thought he ought to go himself instead of putting the additional load onto Jim's willing shoulders, but when Jim reminded him that the two families needed a man with them while he (Jim) was gone, as the trip would undoubtedly take four or five days, he cheerfully acquiesced.Mrs.Smithwicks had rallied so as to be up and around, but was unable to do any physical labor.Cristie was jewel in the rough, and under her mother\u2019s guidance had become an ex- hpert little housekeeper.With the return of spring came the thrill of the ever-changing forest.Migratory birds saluted and sang their joyous songs of welcome, the wild flowers bloomed in profusion, honey bees filled the air with their drone, and all the universe seemed to meee rejoice over the departure of old Boreas with his wintry blasts of wind and snow.8ix days had elapsed since the departure of Jim Smithwicks, and NS.Smithwicks was bravely trying to conceal her anxiety over his long absence.Little Cristie, observing her mother's restlessness, tried to comfort her.\u201cAn, pa's coming now.I jus\u2019 heerd the bluejays back in the timber.\u201d And sure enough, Jim came stalking with a heavy packbasket filled to overflowing.\u201cOh, pa, did ja bring me sumthin?\" It was little Cristie who rapturously unpacked the basket, her little chestnut curls flying promiscuously around her square little shoulders, \u201cShore I did.I brot ye suthin' ye can git some larnin\u2019 outen.\u201d Then proudly he pulled from his inside pocket a little book, \u201cThe Child's Primer.\u201d Cristie was wild.Excitedly, she danced around her mother.\u201cOh! Oh! Oh! Now I kin learn tu read.\u201d To Rand he brought a copy of \u201cWatson's First Read,\u201d a box of gun caps and some powder and shot, as the boy would soon be old enough to carry his father's musket.A district school had been established in the little settlement, not far from Montreal, and lumbermen were flocking in.The first crop of Mother Earth was the drawing card, for the numerous little towns springing up along the Bt.Lawrence valley and Lake Champlain needed lumber, and the conversion of the primeval forest into comfortable dwellings for the settlers meant plenty of employment for the half starved men.Now little Rand was the proud possessor of a real book and delightedly exhibited it to his pleased mother.(Continued on Page 7) Underweight?\u201cMy baby was so thin his hands were like bird claws.But he thrived wonderfully after I started giving Baby's Own Tablets,\u201d writes Mrs.L.Kennedy, Portland, Ontario.Baby's Own Tablets help to regulate stomach and bowels;

together they planned the gardens, and together they searched the rich bottom lands of the creek, for leeks, the earliest vegetable to be found, As soon as the snow disappeared, leeks could be seen pushing their onion flavored tops through last year\u2019s decaying leaves; and later in the summer they would gather the high bush cranberries, and choke cherries, 50 plentiful along the banks of the creek.The boy always took his bow and arrows, and while Cristie was diligently gathering the wild fruit, he would skilfully bring down an unsuspecting bunny, and once he actually toppled over a cock partridge while in the act of drumming on a big hemlock log.Cristie didn't approve of killing the beautiful partridges and rabbits, but she also knew that they needed the meat, for seldom it was that they could obtain any beef, although Jim occasionally IF YOU CAN'T NURSE BABY YOURSELF .TRY EAGLE BRAND!

successful in getting a doctor from the settlement.After an examination, the Doctor had said there was no help for her, but with proper nourishment she might linger along for several months before she expired.(The lumbermen were slowly encroaching toward the boundary line of northern New York, to the east of the Smithwicks and Goodwyn cabins).Little Rand, now past ten, was proudly carrying his father's old musket whenever he had occasion to go far into the forest.He and Cristie and little Katie had gone through the books Jim had brought.and were begging for more and bigger books, and Jim had promised to get them on his next trip to the settlement.The Dominion Government had granted large tracts of land to the wealthy lumber Barons, just arrived from London.These tracts extended from the St.Lawrence to the boundary line of northern New York, and eastward to Vermont.Large logging camps were being constructed to house the workmen and teams.Sawmills were built at Champlain (a little town on the Chazy River), and along the south banks of the St.Lawrence.CHAPTER 5 Little Rand was more than pleased to be in partnership with Cristie\u2019s pa, and now his active little brain was working day and night.He soon had his potatoes and other garden truck stored in the cellar,\u2019and the long evenings were spent studying the new books Jim had brought.Mrs.Goodwyn had prevailed upon little Cristie to come to her cabin every evening, so she could help both Cris- tle and Rand to learn how to read and spell correctly.Mr.Smithwicks approved of this plan, and often accompanied little Cristie to the Goodwyn\u2019s cabin, and when sometimes Jim did not come, Rand would see little Cristie safe across the creek.Although devoted to each other more as brother and sister, Cristie resented being babied or looked after.\u201cI Kkin take keer o\u2019 mysef.jes as well as you kin.Some day I'm goin\u2019 up to the log whar pa shot the pant- er cat, an\u2019 ketch some more trout

an\u2019 I guess he'd eat yu jus as quick\u2019s he would me.\u201d Then, with a shy little bewitching smile, she would glance sidewise at him and run home, her chestnut curls flying about her head.Mrs.Goodwyn loved the bright little girl as she would her own daughter, and always when Jim Smithwicks was away from home, she would ask little Cristie to come and stay with her and little Katie.The warm day came the following week, and with axes and pails Jim and little Rand started for the bee- box, which had been left in the woods where Rand had halted operations of Jim\u2019s beehunt, on that memorable day of Mrs.Smithwicks\u2019 death.Jim had left the box closed, as he knew not when he would return, so they had to search the wild asters flowering in the swale for more bees.Soon they discovered one, and Jim dexterously caught him in the box and then placed the box on the stand.In a moment the bees scented the honey, primed with the oil of anise, and immediately went to filling himself.Soon, heavily laden with honey, the bee raised slowly into the air, circled back and forth a few times, and then made a bee line for his tree.The men (for it was evident that little Rand was now a man mentally) waited for the bee's return.It was perhaps ten minutes when he came circling down to the box.and in a few seconds two or three of his brothers followed.and after scouting around the box several times, settled Gown onto the honey.After watching for about twenty-five minutes the watchers got an accurate line, and Rand started excitedly in the direc- I I 2 - 1 ?re \u2014

boy, pointing up toward the top of a hig sugar maple, said: \u201cSee \u2018em, see \u2018em, hundreds of 'em goin\u2019 outen in leetle hole in tha tree.\u201d \u201cSon, thats a big swarm.Can't take \u2018em up till after dark, less we want ter get stung.\u201d the week, and the bee hunting continued, till they had found ten trees, some of which they did not plan to take up till winter set in.Altogether they harvested over six hundred pounds of this delicious sweet, and that, together with the little maple syrup made in the spring, furnished all the sweets they needed.On the fifteenth of October they packed their traps and, taking two drys\u2019 provisions in their packbaskets, started for the upper reaches of the creek.At the old beaver dam still- waters they found plenty of muskrat signs, also coon and mink.They found places for about twenty-five traps here, and then circling to the westward they entered the higher ridges, covered with dense spruce and balsam.Here they found sable (or marten) in great numbers.They scattered traps at intervals for miles, then, night falling, Jim with axe taught little Rand how to make a leanto bough camp.Rand was all attention, asking all manner of questions, which Jim patiently answered as best he could.The camp site was wisely selected beside a little spring with some old dry trees and a huge rock in the background.This was to be an all winter's camp, as Jim considered they were about half way round, and would make this camp their overnight rendezvous on every trip.In the morning, they headed north, setting sable traps for several miles, when they came to a small brook leading northwest.Here they found mink and otter signs, also fisher cat and coon signs.Their steel traps had long since been all used up, and they had to resort to building dead- falls and figure fours.Jim had not figured on the extra time it took to build these traps, and night again overtook them, but now they were nearing the big river, and Jim thought it best to quit setting traps, and push ahead.Dusk was falling fast.The moon was casting weird shadows on the sparkling frost which now covered the leaves.It was the first frost of the season, and the little white diamonds thickly studding the green leaves were as unnatural as they were brilliant, It was fascinating to Rand.He wanted to go slow, to take in its hypnotizing beauty, but Jim, unmindful of nature's creations, strode ahead.\u201cCome on Rand, we gotta make the big River afore the moon goes down, an\u2019 find some o' them fishermans camps to bunk in.\u201d For two hours they stumbled on over old windfalls, thru swale with wild clematis vines, and tangled red osier.It was slow, working thru this riotous tangle of nature's uncultivated wilds.As they neared the St.Lawrence, the forset changed suddenly from tangled underbrush to an open grove of huge elm and towering ash, and in the dim pale glow of the setting moon they discovered fresh cut trees, with chips and shavings, and splinters strewn about the ground.\u201cBasket makers,\u2019 ejaculated Jim.\u201cthat's about two sizes better'n fishermen.\u201d Soon they struck a trail which they followed.In about ten minutes they emerged into a small clearing, and in the distance they sighted the sparkling waters of the big River.This was the first time Rand had ever seen the historical St.Lawrence.Amazed at its size, he climbed a high stump and stood, spellbound.On account of darkness he could not discern the opposite shore, but under the moon could be seen a long stretch of golden tipped ripples dancing untiringly in the moonlight.To their right, and in the center of the clearing, silhouetted against the northern lights.was the peaked roof of a log cabin.A light shone from a window below, and Jim, knowing the basket makers were a friendly and hospitable tribe of half breeds, boldly walked up to the door and rapped.Almost instantly the door opened, and a tall good-looking white man, with black searching eyes, black hair, high forehead and a not unpleasant, but firm broad jaw.a light smile playing over his countenance.\u201cBon soir, monsieur.\u201d \u201cBon soir,\u201d answered Jim.The man motioned him inside, and started talking rapidly in French.Jim held up his hand in protest.\u201cI don't understan\u2019 French.Can ya talk English?\u201d \u201cOh yes, 1 speak English.I thought you were French.Most of the travelers of the big River are French and Indian.\u201d As he spoke he waved his hand toward the St.Lawrence.He glanced at Rand with an approving smile.A couple of benches running across the end of the cabin served as chairs.In an adjoining room a woman was industriously weaving baskets.The cabin was quite large, having a lean- to with several rooms joined to the back of the structure.These rooms had many cans of vari-colored stains, with which they dyed the long thin strips of ash, before weaving them into baskets.Near the woman sat a small girl, of perhaps 12 years of age.The man continued, \u201cI am French, but speak English too.My wife,\u201d pointing to the other room, \u201cIs full- blooded Indian.She is from the friendly tribe of Abenakis.I have taught her to speak French and Eng- 1ish, and she has taught me the language of her tribe.I take it you are trappers from the big woods?\" ITO JN IO OI I A PURITY

some less.Manufacturers have tried to take care of these conditions by making label directions more complete.Still it is more difficult to give directions for a complex set of conditions than for a comparatively few simple conditions.Furthermore many people who paint their own homes never read the directions.Professional painters understand the absorption requirements of different surfaces and for this reason alone the employment of a thoroughly competent painter increases the assurance of satisfactory results in painting.The man who paints his own house today should, by all means, follow definite directions for meeting the conditions prevailing in his particular case.Another difference in house construction which affects painting is found in the short-cut, high speed modern building practices, which have grown out of high labor costs hand the demand for low production costs.These result in excessive moisture conditions which make re-finish- ing more difficult than formerly.The secret of meeting these new conditions les in anticipating the sources of such troubles before the original painting is done\u2014or in locating the cause of any troubles which have developed, when repainting\u2014 then taking the necessary steps to remedy or offset them.Omission or careless fitting of metal flashings over windows and doors; poor joining of siding over window and door headings; open Joints where siding joins window and door casings, corner hoards, etc.\u2014all are means of water getting in, to cause moisture troubles.i Improper basement construction, inadequate drainage, etc.often result in wet basements, which almost invariably cause trouble in painting.The tendency to start painting before plastering has dried out is also responsible for many paint fallures.Indoor leaks from bathroom, laundry or kitchen plumbing often saturate the wood with water from within.\u2018which must them find its way out through the paint, causing it to blister and peel.Necessary repairs before repainting are now much more important than in the past, as they not only prevent more costly repairs later on, but are among the most important precautions that can be taken to ensure successful results in painting.There is a great difference between the requirements of a porch floor finish today and the requirements of a few years ago.Formerly verandas, as they were generally called, had very limited social uses\u2014they did not have much style.Today the porch is, in most cases, the real home of the family for a considerable portion of the year.The drying demands of a porch floor finish also are much different now than years ago, when the old paint-type finishes were first placed on the market.Then a porch paint that dried in three or four days, the same as a house paint, was quite satisfactory.The home owner simply blocked off the steps until the paint dried, and went around to the back door\u2014which he usually did anyway.Present-day conditions are different.So rapid drying is another develop- CANADIAN WHEAT DDED HEAT ECONOMICAL HEALTHFUL\u2014 SATISFYING THE CANADIAN SHREDDED WHEAT COMPANY, LTD.ee Rev.J.D.and Mrs.| Anderson, Honored hy Beauharnois W.M.S, Thirty-five years ago, on March 25th the Rev.J.D.Anderson, was ordained into the Presbyterian Church and was inducted to the congregations of Beauharnois and Chateau- guay.Last Wednesday, March 23rd.this thirty-fifth anniversary was celebrated at Beauharnois.Besides being the thirty-fifth anniversary of the induction, it was also the thirty- fifth anniversary of Mr.and Mrs.Anderson's wedding.Totally unaware that anything unusual had been planned by the congregation, Mrs.Anderson had called an open meeting of the Women's Missionary Society, with Dr.Potter of McVicar Memorial Church as guest speaker.After the routine business of the society had been completed, Mrs.Anderson presented Miss Gertrude Holmes and the Rev.J.D.Anderson, With certificates of Honorary Life Membership.These had been donated by members of the society.Following this a presentation to Mr.and Mrs.Anderson, of an address of greetings and good wishes, signed by the twelve remaining members of the original congregation of Beauharnois, was made by Miss Gertrude Holmes.Before Mr.and Mrs.Anderson had quite recovered from this presenta- Anderson on behalf of the congregation and friends, with a substantia) purse, while Mrs.W, Peirce handed a beautiful bouquet of roses to Mrs.Anderson.In trying to reply to this presentation, Mr.Anderson was quite overcome, and sald he could not adequately express his feelings to such kindness, and so would not try.Mrs.Potter .brought greetings from the Provincial Soclety to the Beau- harnois Society, and Dr.Potter gave a very fitting address to about forty- five members and friends who attended the gathering.Mr.Anderson is a son of the late Rev.John Anderson, one time min- {ster of the Pree Church, Lancaster, and son-in-law of the late Rev.A.B.Mackay, of Crescent St.Church, Montreal.For ten years Mr.Anderson served the double charge of Bcauharnos and Chateauguay, and for the remaining twenty-five years has served faithfully in his present charge.The Last Spark There had been a serious forest fire raging for two days in the vicinity of a small town.Once or twice flames had gotten to the outskirts of the town and a barn had been burned before the fire could again be forced back.; Men, boys, and even some of the women had been called upto to figHf this fire demon.Now the fire was apparently out.In small groups the inhabitants of the town sauntered back for a much needed rest.The last man to leave the blackened area was surprised to see a solitary boy scout sitting on a high stump.Better come along, sonny,\u201d he suggested.\u201cIt\u2019s all over now.\u201d \u201cNo fire is out until the last spark is dead.Mr.Rogers,\u2019 remarked the boy.\u201cI think I'll stick around a while.If the wind increases we might have trouble.The rest of my patrol will be out with eats and we will camp here tonight.\u201d The wind did comeup.There was a last spark.Had it not been for this group of boys, that town would almost undoubtedly have been wiped out.Once again the boy scout organ- {zation had demonstrated what its motto \u201cBe Prepared\u201d stands forment which has made itself felt in porch finishes.Every bit as important as quality in paints is quality in painting.No better advice can be given than this: If you want a good paint job, follow carefully the manufacturer's directions about mixing, thinning, preparation of surface, etc.tion, Mr.R.W.Kilgour presented Mr.\u201cTo Study Northern Lights Movie and Color Cameras to Delve Into Mystery of the North Churchill is the ideal location for studying the Aurora Borealis, \u201cbecause it is on a direct line between the auroral pole at Fort Conger and the magnetic pole and in the path of the maximum light frequency of au- roral waves.\" This means that the \u201cNorthern Lights\u201d are seen in their best colors and movements at Churchill, Fort Conger is on Grant Land not far from Greenland.This information was given in an interview at Montreal by three scientists and explorers who were on their way to Hudson's Bay district to study and photograph the phenomenon.The party, which was headed by Captain Flavel M.Willams, was equipped with movie cameras and films capable of catching all the colors of the spectrum.One of the purposes of the expedition is to determine the height of the display, which will be accomplished by photagraphy and triangulation and by making astronomical transits.Another is to discover If the auroral phenomenon is connected with static electricity and terrestrial magnetism.Captain Willlams says he deduced the theory that static electricity and terrestrial magnetism were closely associated when he eliminated static electricity from gasoline trucks by providing an outlet for it in the form of a chain attached to the chassis and dragging on the pavement.The saving of human lives and millions of dollars by preventing explosions due to the accumulation of static electricity in moving metallic bodies like ORANGE PEKOE BLEND SALADA T EA \u201cFresh from the Gardens\u201d _ .gasoline trucks may seems a far ary from the Aurora Borealis but one thing leads to another in science.Trucks running in an east-west direction or at right angles to the terrestrial magnetic lines of forces, Capt.Williams said, showed a 40 per cent.increase of static potential over trucks travelling north-south or parallel ith the lines of force.Ultraviolet rays thrown off by sunspots striking the lonized portion of the stratosphere which directly reflects radio waves to the earth, in othes words ula violet rays from voa c \u201cradio mirror\u201d are pi the cause of the aurora in the opin- fon of Captain Williams.Fifteen per cent or more of all eloc- trical energy generated is \u201clost\u201d om the way to the consumer.This loss of energy during transmission is ine herent in the generation and distribution of electricity and as yet engln- eers have been unable to overcome fic Every central station must be eq ped to generate more actual lowes Hours that it can possibly deliver customers.> PURELY- \u2018VEGETABLE Act gently but surely on both liver and bowels Safe for CHILDREN Sold everywhere in 25cand 75¢ red pkgs.CARTERS IRMPIHLES W.R.the business of Policyholders memes North American Life is pleased to announce the appointment of WILSON well-known business man who has affiliated himself with this Company and who will in the future conduct the late Dr.Rowat.and prospective insurers may have the utmost confidence in Mr.Wilson wha.is qualified to offer them sound and efficient life assurance counsel.NORTH AMERICAN LIFE san .t ;

important.It is now generally recognized that serious conditions may arise in other parts of the body as a result of infections about the teeth.By infection we mean the presence of living germs, and when these are confined or limited to one spot, we refer to that spot as a focus of infection and to the condition as that of a focal infection.Focal infections occur in various parts, the teeth being a common location.Focal infections are serious, not because of what happens at the focus, but because the germs present at the focus may be carried by the blood stream to other parts of the body.Reaching other parts, the germs may cause disease in such parts, and so we find disease of the heart, kidneys, nerves, joints and other organs, as a result of some focus of infection in the teeth, tonsils, or other part.It is quite true that many people have infected teeth, and yet they do not show any ill results of such infection, They are, however, living with a constant threat hanging over their heads.No one can venture an opinion as to when or for what reason there may occur a spread of germs, with the possibility of the ill results we have indicated.It is for that reason that it is sound advice, as 8 matter of precaution, to tell you to beep the teeth in a healthy condition.In order to have healthy teeth, and to avoid those conditions which arise out of diseased teeth, it is necessary that some care be given to them.At the present time, it is unfortunately the case that care usual begins in the later years as an effort to preserve teeth which are already damaged.The reverse should be practised.Care is needed throughout life, but care of the teeth in childhood will prevent much of the dental trouble that now occurs in adult life.In any case, the child's health demands a healthy mouth just as much as does the health of the adult.The foundation for sound, healthy teeth is diet.Proper building foods must be provided if a good structure is to be built, and it must not be forgotten: that most of the building is done during the early years of life.So it is that milk and green vegeta- les, which supply calcium and phos- phorus\u2014two essential minerals\u2014must be included in the diet.If the teeth are to be kept healthy, they must be exercisd through use, and kept clean.Some coarse foods, and such foods as hard, dry toast, give the teeth an epportunity for exercise, and these should be eaten.The teeth should be brushed after every meal, but the most important time for doing this is before retiring so that the mouth may be clean during the hours of sleep.Regular visits to the dentist will permit of the detection and correction of any evidence of disease before extensive damage or harm can result.Questions concerning Health, -

preparation of their \u201cFamily Tree.\u201d When completed it did not contain a single feminine name.They threw out all women from the genealogy and included only males.According to their theory a woman had no place in the family line.1f she married into the family, they did not mention her, because she was not of the blood.If she was born in the family they did not include her,, because she might marry and take another name, It is needless to say the geneal (which by the way was published) was not a howling success and is esteemed more for its oddity than its genealogical value.However,

fiealth Service GRANT FLEMING, M.D.OF THE Medical Association ¥dited'hy r ~~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY PRACTICAL HINTS It Is a matter of general knowledge that the number of deaths from cancer continues to increase year by year.To a considerable extent, this is due to the fact that the average expectancy of life has been considerably increased, with the result that a larger percentage of the population now reach the age when cancer most commonly occurs.The exact cause of cancer is still unknown, What has been observed 1s that cancer does develop in tissues which have been subjected to a chronic irritation.Cancer does not.for example, begin in a normal skin but in growths on the skin or in areas which are subjected to chronic irritation, Cancer begins as a local disease and the control of cancer depends upon its recognition while it is still a local disease, at which stage it can be treated successfully.It is because the early symptoms of cancer are neglected or not recognized that the disease is allowed to progress, before treatment is sought, to the stage when it has become generalized.Cancer of the breast begins as a local disease, Rarely does it cause pain at the beginning, and because it does not make itself felt, the condition is thought to be of no importance.A painless lump or tumour of the breast is more likely to be cancer than is the one which is tender or painful.There should be no delay in securing treatment at the first sign of a lump or tumour of the breast.In the mouth, cancer is associated with the chronic irritation set up by broken teeth, badly-fitting dental plates, and the use of tobacco.Any white patches in the mouth, any ulcers which do not heal promptly, or over-growth of tissue should be regarded with suspicion.Cancer of the uterus commonly begins at the cervix, or lower end of the organ.Irritation follows upon unrepaired tears which occur during childbirth.Cancer of the.uterus is to be suspected in cases where there is irregular bleeding or unusual discharge.Bleeding after the menopause is particularly suggestive, Blood in the urine suggests disease of the bladder.Cancer of the stomach is preceded by what the patient describes as indigestion.which indicates the importance of having the cause of indigestion properly ascertained, in all cases, and not to regard it as the inevitable result of indiscretions in eating or drinking.These points are brought to your attention because of their practical value.It is by giving prompt attention to them that treatment may be secured at a stage of the disease when it is possible, in a large percentage of cases, to effect a cure.The symptoms mentioned do not always mean cancer\u2014far from it, but attention to them is always necessary in| case cancer is the cause.Questions concerning Health, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter.THE MODERN HOME AND THE MODERN MAN AND WOMAN One of the greatest blessings we today enjoy and never think of it as a blessing is the modern laundry.No home could possibly afford an equipment like that possessed by our mod~ ern laundry.Besides the equipment it also requires highly skilled labor to conduct it efficiently.Wherever possible all work which it can handle should be sent to the laundry.It saves trouble and labor and in the long run it saves money.For various reasons some families ouly send a part of the family wash to the laundry.The rest is done at home.In such cases the home should be installed with up-to-date equipment in the way of electric irons and tubs.They save time, and they save labor.and conserve the strength of the women of the household.Another great advantage we possess over our forefathers is the pressing establishment, which is also generally a cleaning establishment as well.Pressing is an art.The pressing plant has made the phrase \u201cshabby genteel\u201d obsolete.Any man can be genteel shabby, and the well pressed man is the well dressed man.Besides that it an establishment that knows how to do it.things at best and often highly ex- the home, but money saved.these days without being: 13 also

SMALL LOT PROVIDES VEGETABLES FOR FAMILY By G.L.Smith From a patch of ground 60 by 100 feet I had no great difficulty in growing enough vegetables, including potatoes, to keep two families fairly supplied last summer, besides a fair quantity of stuff for winter use.With an outlay of less than eight dollars for seeds, plants and fertilizer, plus a a little exercise, two families lived like kings from June until October.Had there been a cow and a few hens the expenditure during that period might have been limited to the purchase of a bag of salt.Having preached for years the doctrine of more vegetables and greater variety in the average country garden I determined to put my theories to the test when circumstances allowed me to leave the city for the whole summer and secure a cottage with a bit of garden land, a large lawn and a long bed of neglected perennials.It was a fair farm test, because we had no hose, having to depend entirely on a rather fickle natural supply of rain, plus an occasional pail drawn from a deep well with a hard-working squeaky pump.Moreover the two families which proposed to take over the old house for the summer, while small according to the old standard, contained five growing youngsters, whose carefree outdoor life\u2014they even spent thelr nights on the lawn under can- vas\u2014developed monstrous appetites, and it became a common thing to use an eleven quart basket of peas, and at least two other vegetables in like proportions at a single sitting.Knowing something about the job in mind, I planned to develop this garden to its maximum capacity.This meant a little more work than is given to the average garden, but on the other hand, there was not only a heavier supply but a more continuous one than we usually expect, and it is doubtful whether the actual work amounted to more than one day per week for one person, from late April until the middle of July.Outside of the initial cultivation, which consisted of ploughing and harrowing, there was no further call on horse implements, the remainder of the work being carried out with a rake, a hoe and a hand cultivator, consisting of five two-inch-wide hoes, in the shape of a hand, and which was purchased for about a dollar and a half.Early in April the finst part of the garden was put into shape, and the sweet peas went in a little sod-sur- rounded plot right at the woodshed door, where they would be handy for picking and also for watering.These were planted in the orthodox way a trench being dug a foot deep, partially filled with rotting leaves, some half rotten apples.and a little fine soil.Into the latter went the peas.planted in a double row two inches apart.I used half a dozen packets of splendid varieties.On the same afternoon a portion of the regular garden was raked level and spinach, lettuce, radish, cress and peas were planted.These were put in rows 18 inches apart and the new black mulch paper laid between.The paper was fastened down with long staples made out of the ordinary black wire.Two rows 60 feet long of spinach were planted and six of peas.The other stuff all went into one row, as I only wanted a little bit coming along at a time.Three kinds of garden peas were used, an early.medium and a late variety, and all were of the large sized fairly tall- growing kinds like Thomas Laxton.Having spent the afternoon in this pleasant fashion, I carefully barred the gate against some inquisitive steers in the next field and drove back to the city.forty miles away.\u2018The next Saturday afternoon saw me back again, this time putting in more spinach.more peas, a row of carrots, a row of bects, a few parsnips, and also taking a chance on four rows of early Irish Cobbler potatoes.The final planting of peas was made about the first week in May, with some more spinach, and the salad material like lettuce, both leaf and head, cress and radish, and also the first of the beans amd corn, and more potatoes.In addition there was also a row of Swiss Chard and two of seed onions.The latter as well as a row of Dutch sets, were put in on one of the early trips I think.All through May and early June, at about fortnightly intervals, I was .| toes were given two feet.turing carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, and more room would be saved.I only used the mulch paper on a few ru.s of the first planting as I did not want to bring

in case I found I had been missing something in my past life.In this category English Broad Beans, sown very early and spraye} once with Black Leaf Forty when they bloomed in July, Kohl Rabi, leeks, mustard; Cos lettuce, endive, kale and broccoli were included and some real discoveries made.The broad beans were easy things to grow and added nourishment to any meal, especially where meat was scarce.The leeks were found to be milder than onions and as simple to produce.The Cos lettuce was a general favorite as it came on after ordinary lettuce was running to seed or becoming bitter, and was self-bleach- ing.We had no trouble, by sowing a little bit of à row at a time, in having a supply of this from the middle of July until October.Perhaps too many new things were tried out the first year, but at any rate not as much success was achieved with the other vegetables mentioned, though these will be tried again.With all the vegetables I used a generous supply of commercializer, sprinkling it along the rows so that it + planting more carrots, beets, beans, corn and potatoes, the rows in every case being 60 feet long and as close | together as it was safe.For instance, short

impossible as with lettuce, carrots and such things, a light thinning was carried out and then every other plant used in the early stages of growth, After planting, cultivation was carried out entirely with the hand cultivator already described, with no back bending \u2018at all.The whole garden could be gone over with this implement in an hour and it was cultivated once a week.Growth came along nicely though the squirrels went after the apples under the sweet peas and there was some loss there and a ground hog or a rabbit, we were never able to find out which, took ligla toll of the peas, lettuce and cabbage.The compact bed of celery and some other things near the house, as well as the last sowings of beans, and corn in July when the weather turned dry, received an occasional drenching with water.Early in June we started carting back results to the city.There were plenty of radishes, lettuce and spinach and by the end of that month we had our first peas.Just before the first of July the two families moved down and the real drive on the garden commenced.Potatoes of good size were ready then and peas were used twice a day, as well as lettuce, cress and other salad material.Soon we were faced with momentous decisions as to whether we would have young carrots, baby beets, Swiss Chard or something else as well as the peas.Before the last of the spinach was consumed the first of the beans were ready and these came on in successive crops and in two colors, yellow and green until late September, The potatoes, due to continuous plantings and two varieties, Cobblers and Green Mountains, were always new in flavor.We had our first tomatoes, from early planted, big staked plants, in July, and a week later the earliest of the corn, Golden Sunshine, a 66-day variety, was ready.All summer it was just a succession of good things on the big table we had set up under the apple trees.When school and regular duties forced a return to the city in September we piled the running board with a sufficient supply to do us the days between week-ends.In October, the remainder of the garden consisting of corn, two bags of potatoes, a dozen squash, and baskets of melons, cucumbers, Brussels sprouts, celery, and onions, was carted homewards.Potatoes and Foxes Speaking in business terms, Prince Edward Island is known most favorably to the rest of the Dominion for the predominant position which she holds in the fox and potato industries.But while tuber trade perhaps equals that of its rival\u2014fox farming \u2014in gross money returns, its origin and subsequent growth have not the same degree of interest as that associated with the breeding of silver foxes.Silver fox farming, which started as a whim and fancy of two sportsmen about twenty-five years ago, has rapidly grown into a sound basic industry and one that has proved to be most profitable to a large number of island natives.At the beginning of the century, the source of silver fox furs was entirely from the wild.To-day silver fox pelts from animals caught in the wilds do not represent more than one per cent.of the furs that are sold annually.And while these figures portray a most rapid development and expansion the industry may be said to be only in its infancy.Besides developing a home market, a number of breeders have made live shipment to European countries, where progressive fur merchants have made a beginning in the raising of live silver foxes.Roman History Antony, Octavius and Lepidus, in the period after the death of Caesar.took steps to get rid of his

books the other day, smiled and said, I have served ninety-four meals during these past two weeks, on ten dollars and three cents.That is only a little over ten cents a meal.\u201d She was pleased with this result and had every right to be.Even experts say that it is almost impossible to secure adequate nutrition on less than ten cents per person for each meal.This young housewife did it on exactly ten cents and six mills as an average.This is almost the limit! These figures, compiled in a family for two, should be an incentive to those who now waver on the brink of matrimony.¥or, even if two cannot live as cheaply as one, ten cents is not very much to spend for food for each meal.This being leap year, it might be well for unmarried girls to keep these statistics on the tips of their tongues.Statistics are always so convincing.At least it is interesting to know that good meals can be had for so little money.How did Marion do this?Did some relative or friend keep a market in which she obtained a discount on her groceries?Was her husband an extremely light eater?Did she scrimp or dole out her food?Did she never have guests?The answer to all these questions is, no! She did her shopping in an ordinary public market and she paid full price for everything.She bought in large quantities when possible and watched the sales, Perishables were bought in small amounts and only as needed but she always had a good supply of staples on hand.When sugar was oheap, Marion bought a supply for several weeks.During the fall months, she filled the vegetable cellar with potatoes, cabbage, squash, apples and onions.preserved fruits and canned vegetables, if she could buy them at reasonable prices.She has even been known to can meats.Her husband, like most men, has a very healthy appetite and eats plenty.She certainly does not serimp or dole out her food.Her table is always substantially if not elaborately laden and you never leave it hungry.During the weeks in which she maintained this low average, she entertained seventeen guests.Of course, it sometimes lowers the average to have guests.With just two there are so many left-overs and unavoidable wasted materials.Above all, this young woman plans her meals in advance.She anticipates how she must use up a roast, if she buys one.She knows that if she makes a cake one day that it will have to be turned into a cottage pudding several days later, and she plans accordingly.This method not only saves money, but it saves time.It eliminates last minute pondering as to what to have for a meal.Let us see what she serves.One of her Saturday menus is as follows: Breakfast: Grapefruit (sectioned) cornflakes, toast, butter, coffee, milk.Luncheon: Fried eggs, creamed potatoes, buttered peas, head lettuce salad, bread, butter, tea.Dinner: Pork chops with baked creamed potatoes, stewed tomatoes.celery, whole wheat bread, butter, pineapple, spice cake, cafleine-free coffee.The spice cake was made the day before and has already been served once on Friday.Several days later she served it with vanilla sauce.There was not a crumb wasted and that is as it should be.In these menus she used a half can of peas and a half can of pineapple.The following day or Sunday, the pineapple was combined with cabbage to make a salad.The other half of the can of peas was used the night before with creamed salmon.Wise person that she is, she has discovered that two grapefruit sectioned makes six servings.Otherwise two grapefruit make only four servings and surely there is no law which says that we must eat a half grapefruit at one sitting.One third, nicely sectioned is just as pleasing.These prices will vary according to locality, but you will find them very economical.Even if salaries have been cut and even if your food allowance is low, remember that where there is a dime\u2014there is a way to good meals, providing you are a wise manager.ES Huntingdon Curling Club BENEFIT \u201c500\u201d PARTY followed by one hour of dancing and refreshments Curling Rink Club Rooms and on each succeeding Monday night during the month of April.Admission 35c.For the four parties to be held in April a ticket can be obtained for $1.With each ticket so purchased the : holder will Demands for steel is growing in the \u20ac receive 4 tickets in the Club Tombola.25 tables wanted for Thursday night.Everybody welcome.Cemetery Meeting The annual meeting of the Zion Church Cemetery Co.,of Dundee will be held in the Community Hall on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.J.A Arnold, J.D.Ferguson Pres.Sec'y.-Treas.The Annual Meeting of the Ladies\u2019 Curling Club will be held in the Club Rooms Friday Night at 7 o\u2019clock.After the meeting bridge will be played.Olive Cluff, President Euchre and Dance under the auspices of the young people of Howick, in Howick Temperance Hall \u2014 on \u2014 FRIDAY, APRIL 1st Music by Howick Orchestra.Admission 50c.The Huntingdon Y will meet at ville, Monday evening, April 4th.Cars will leave the Gleaner Office at 7.30 pm.The Huntingdon Women's Institute will meet at the home of Mrs.T.S.Gardiner on Tuesday, April 5th at 2.30 p.m.Annual Meeting, Conveners\u201d Reports; Election of Officers.A full attendance please.Mrs.I.T.Ewart Secretary Reserve Thursday, April 14 for the Supper in St.Andrew\u2019s Presbyterian Church.GA DDEN THEATRE Thursday, March 31st TIFFANY ooucion De Mrs.by .Merson President Comedy - Short Subjects Drawing for Chest of Silver Saturday - Sunday April 2nd & 3rd TAKE \u2019EM OFF WILL!
