To safeguard your digestion the diet must be controlled. Over-eating is always harmful, but one must as- ! similate enough food to supply the* the whole spectrum of > needs of the blood. Remember, the past two weeks discussing and laying their problems before the conference of fifty-two countries gathered there. The conference has been assembled together not merely to discuss prob­ lems relative to broadcasting alone, but covers .radio frorh the highest waves down to | blood has to carry nourishment to all > parts of tho body and find fuel for its energy. Hence when the blood be­ comes weak and fails to do its .work, indigestion arises, Therefore the sure remedy for indigestion is to build up the blood. If you suffer from any form, of indigestion choose your diet carefully and take wholesome nour­ ishment. Above all, start building up your blood, by taking a course of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Then under tho influence of the now blood supply, your digestive system Will respond naturally, your appetite improve and your food will do you good. So begin to improve your digestion by starting to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills now. You can get these pills from your druggist or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. the smalest at present in use. The scope of operations here will take in everything from the high-powered ’ trans-Atlantic commercial stations down to the amateur stations on the short wave bands. As its representatives, Canada has sent Alex. Johnson, the deputy minis­ ter of njarine and fisheries, ip. charge of radio for Canada, Commander C. P. Edwards, directoi' of radio for Can­ ada, and Major Arthur Steele, one of the chief signalling officers in the de­ partment of militia. To this delega­ tion, of course, are attached numer­ ous experts on various phases of radio, as well as secretaries and re­ presentatives of the various commer­ cial companies. Each of the other nations have similar delegations, in many cases of much larger size.4 It is extremely unlikely that the confer­ ence can last less than two> months, and a tremendous number of subjects must be discussed and settled. A complete new draft of the London convention which is the former inter­ national law governing radio, must be drawn up and the law settled for, per­ haps, the next decade. The many themes of interest to the average citizen of the Dominion will be those governing broadcasting. As the reader knows, the United States of America and Canada are now oper­ ating under an agreement reached last year, and by which the various wave lengths between 200 metres, and 550 metres were apportioned out by the government into various wave channels which were 10 kilocycles apart. Canada was awarded certain of these channels and the United States the balance. Canada has claimed that, she should be entitled to more wave channels than have been allowed her by the United States government, and there is a possibility that pressure will bo brought to bear on the United States at this confer­ ence to recognize Canadian rights to these extra wave lengths. Amateurs Interested. At the same time it is quite possible that other nations zifiay desire to put other services within the broadcast band at. present used in North Ameri­ ca. It is well known now that certain European countries insist on main­ taining certain of’their ship communi­ cation work within the broadcast band, and it is another matter" which will likely be taken up by the confer­ ence. The amatetur radio operators of North America and in fact, of the whole world, are vitally interested in the decisions reached by the confer­ ence concerning the allotment to various services within the length band below, 120 metres. Is a matter which is certain to before the conference but the out­ come is extremely doubtful by reason of the wide diversity of opinion be­ tween the various nations involved, which ranges all the way from Swit­ zerland who. would licence no experi­ mental stations whatever, up to Can­ ada who has at the present time the broadcast allowance for amateur work of any nation which, boasts of a large/iumber of amateur stations. In regard to the apportionment of these short waves, Canada and United States, are bound in together in a similar manner to what holds con­ cerning the waves above 120 metres.4 Iladio knows no boundaries, and therefore, it is vitally necessary that Canada and United^ States work in accord to prevent absolute . chaos in the ether over North America.. Short , waves below 120 metres have proved . themselves such tremendous long distance waves that it is hoped that the nations al the Washington con­ ference will realize that a complete* accord by all the nations on the sub­ ject of this year should be had to avoid mutual interference and facili­ tate international amateur communi­ cation. The work to be done at this con­ ference is tremendous \and from the labor which has’ already been expend­ ed on the various subjects to be dis­ cussed, it would appear that the new International regulations concerning radio may be very far-reaching in their effect. .It is likely that in some particulars at least, reservations from the'main body of the convention will .be made by the various nations who ’ do not find the general opinion of the conference in accord with their own necessities.

New York’s Finest New York is policed by gangsters, who form “watchmen’s associations" and insure storekeepers and landlords of immunity from burglary and hold ups, in consideration of a regular fee. This new activity of New York’s gangsters has the full .concurrence of the police, for it releases the latter from regular duties and gives them time to ferret out every new bootleg­ ger and collect the cash. . The whole situation misses becoming scandalous because the gangsters are vastly more efficient in curbing the crime in their districts than the police have ever been. They are criminals and are paid to be good. The police are guardians of the law and are paid for breaking it.—G. D. Eaton in Plain Talk Magazine.

Warnings Cannot Be Too Often Repeated To Watch 4‘Fire Starters” and so Prevent Loss Farm fire losses in this Province continue to reach a staggering total. Since midsummer the press has car- rieds one story after another of valu­ able barnes going up in flame with their treasured contents of grain, hay and live stock. . A barn means as much to a farmer as a factory does to a manufacturer, and even if the toss is covered by insurance, .the setback in time and wasted labor is incalcul­ able. CCauses of barn fires are Innumer­ able and have been discussed in de­ tail. . Probably there •will always be causes for fires, but if so many barns were not fire-traps o fthe worst sort —and often unnecessarily so—the loss would be nothing like it is to-day. In a barn that haB dark corners and passage-ways littered up with dry chaff and straw, gasoline and gaso­ line machinery carelessly stored, and other inflammable material such as linseed oil, it needs but a spark from a pipe, a lantern or a carelessly thrown match to set the whole place should always be at hand, of course; but the old adage that “prevention is better than cure" is as applicable in this case as in any other. Now that the days-are shorter and a good part of the. chores must be done after sundown, it is' an excel­ lent precaution to clear up everything that may make quick fuel for a blaze. This includes chaff, straw and hay, bits of boards, oily rags or bagging that has been used for cleaning ma­ chinery, that may be lying around the barn, while outside any grass, weeds or brush should be cleared away and burned 1 na safe spot. Never permit the accumulation of such waste ma­ terials as shingles, paper, old lumber, empty boxes and straw near the buildings, for a spark from an en­ gine, a cigarette or a match may set them on fire and burn the premises. Bonfires should always be watched carefully until they are out. Paint, varnish and oil fillers usually contain linseed oil, which will oxidise, heat and set fire to rags, excelsior or similar material. Gasoline is as dan­ gerous to have around as dynamite unless it is stored in a safe fire-proof place and the containers closed so that the vapor cannot escape. Lan­ terns, now coming into daily use again, are safe only when clean, well­ trimmed, properly filled, free from leaks and hung oh hooks out of the wind, away from cobwebs and out of the reach of horses and cattle.

It has had only one new leaf. It has had six leaves in all, some of which have died. It is in a four-inch pot. Is this pot too small for that size plant? If I transplant it, how large a pot should be used, and what kind of soil is best for a palm? How often should a palm be watered? Should it be watered often, sparingly, or at lengthy intervals with a lot of water? —H. E. N. I suspect that your palm needs a larger pot and some “fresh earth. A palm with six leaves should be in a pot six Inches In diameter. When you repot it, give it a good, rich oarth with about an inch of broken rocks or pebbles in the bot­ tom so as to assure porfect drainage, and water it regularly so that the earth is usually just comfortably moist but not wet. Painting Interior of Poultry-House, —Is anything gained, aside from wood preservation, by painting the interior of a poultry-house?—O.II.F. When the interior of a poultry-house Is evenly lighted and bright, the birds are more active. Light gained by painting, the walls white is cheaper than light gained by putting In extra windows., Good whitewash is first* class for the walls. Add 5 per cent, of a good dip or disinfectant to tho whitewash. Water paint lasts longer than whitewash, and makes a better looking job.
