Assam teas are known by
experts as the finest teas

why Red Rose Orange Pekpe
has become so deservedly
popular in Canada. For Red

The BABY
who
and
Mr.
and
Hold Uncashed Cheque
Accepted and Paid For,
2 Rejected While Writer
Fought With 'Canadians
Soiled by three ocean voyages, an
envelope containing two jokes reject
ed by air editor and a cheque in pay
ment of two that were accepted, is
about to cross the Atlantic for the
fourth time. The cheque is worth
less, but the Jokes, not available for
publication in 1915, now have a
sharper* point than the writer* evor
intended. They were written by- a
Canadian soldier who was killed in
action before his self-addressed en
velope found its way back to the
trenches.
Arthur H. Folwell, editor in 1915
of the humorous magazine "Puck,”
has been carrying the envelope
around these thirteen years, never-
knowing, until recently, quite what
to do with it. With the cheque for $2
for the two good jokes, the rejection
slips fox* the two others, he had start
fl dlt back across the ocean a week
after he first received it But it was
returned to him, unopened. In. red
ink someone had written "dead” In
. one corner, and in another* corner
k. Bomeone else had added “killed in ac
tion.”
The address, written by the Jokes-
ter himself, was:
294^3—Private Gilbert Jiowe,
1st Canadian Contingent,
F Company, 1th Battalion,
3rd Inf. Brigade,
The Canadian Scottish.
"Ordinarily,” said' Mr. Folwell,
is now dramatic editor* of the Herald
Tribune, "I would have thrown the
thing away But somehow I’ve kept
it in my desk. Every now and then I
would take it out and look at it
put it back again.”
About two weeks ago, however,
Folwell took out the envelope
looked at it, but did not put it back
Immediately. Instead he wrote a short
account, explaining its''history and
asking for aid In locating some rela
tive or friend of the dead jokestter
‘who would prize these ‘rejected’
, jokes, this envelope, self-addressed by
*29453’, which crossed the Atlantic
three times.” The account was pub
lished In the Herald Tribune recent
ly and picked up and reprinted by
"The Mail and Empire” of Toronto.
In the latter paper it ’was seen by
Frank Morison, an attorney, of Hamil
ton, Ont., who was a captain in the
World War.
“Howe was a private in the com
pany which I commanded,” Mr. Mori
son wrote to Mr. Folwell, ‘"and I’m
Bure' his mother would be pleased to
receive the envelope and the cheque.
Rhe probably would be very careful in
■ keeping both as a remembrance.”'’
With the letter* was the name and
address of Howe's mother, obtained
by Mr. Morison from the Department
pf National Defense, Mr. Folwell has
jtddresed a new envelope to “Mrs-. F.
M. Howe, of No. 1 Radnor0 Place,
Myde Park, London,” and in it is the
original self-addressed envelope with
Its enclosure's. ? .
The rejected jokes,” written in the
trenches In the spring of 1915, are as
follows:
Mr. Skids—"Did your Belgian guide
• ahow you that terrible shell hole by
ihe road side?” '
Miss Skittles—“Yes, why?”
Mr. Skids—"I was one of the early
Bouvenii' hunters who dug it.”
And the other:
Skids—“It was too bad about him.”
Skittles—“How so?”
Skids—“He was writing some splen
did articles on the duration of the
war when peace was declared.”
The two jokes which were accepted
and printed are probably lost beyond
Identification.

The thoughts that arise in me.
No mother in tlxis enlightened age
would give her baby something she
did not know was perfectly harmless,
especially when a few drops o£ plain
Castoria will right a baby’s stomach
and end almost any little ill. Fretful
ness and fever, too; it seems no time
until everything is serene.
That’s the beauty of Castoria; Its
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. It does’all that castox* oil
might accomplish, without shock to
the system. Without the evil taste.
It’s delicious! Being purely vege-:
table, you can give it. as often - as
there's a sign of colic; constipation;
diarrhea; or need to aid sound, natur
al sleep.
• Just one warning: . it Is genuine
Fletcher’s Castoria that physicians
recommend. « Other preparations- may
be just as free from all doubtful
drugs, but no child of this writer's la

book on care and feeding of babies
that comes with Fletcher’s Castoria
is worth its weight in,gold. ,

I Pills, doupleU with, nourishing food
and gentle out-of-door exercise. The
new, life-giving blood which comes
from a fair use of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills, increases the appetite, stimu
lates the nerves and brings a glow of
health to pale cheeks. Mrs. Robert
Jackson, R.R. No. Shelburne, Ont,,
praises' this medicine for restoring !
her daughter's health. Bhe^ says: —
"When my daughter was nine years
old she was so weak and thin that we
feared we would* lose her. She was
very ijervous, and going to school
seemed too much for her. Often slxe
would have to stay at home for days
at a time. At times she would have
a very high fever, and the doctor's
treatment did not help her. I tried
several remedies, but with no good
results. One day a friend advised me
to give her Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,
and I did so. It was not long aftex’
she began taking the pills that I could
see a change for the better. She kept
on taking the spills fpr several month#
and through them grew into a strong,
healthy girl. Since then, if a tonic
has been needed at any time, it has
always been Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”
The pills are sold by all medicine
dealers or will be sent by mail- at 50
cents a box by The Dr. Williams' ,

the annual report of the organlzaton
sets forth that durng the past year
3,757 cases Vere handled in this prov
ince.
In Western Ontario, which Is the
district in which; Toronto is located,
the number of cases handled was 722,
as compared with 608 in 1926, an in
crease of 18.75 per cent. Some 296
convictions were secured, as compar
ed with 185 a year ago, an-Increase of
45 per cent. Additional work which
the force carried out in >the district
consisted of 2,716 investigations upon
behalf pf the department of the
Secretary of State of applicants for
naturalization.
The report refers to tibe fight
against the drug traffic which is be
ing carried on in Ontario, and ex
presses the belief that some import
ant captures were effected -during the
past year. It expresses1 the opinion,
however, that the drug habit is prob

Talks of Diamonds
From “Heat” Machine
Paris.—The European diamond in
dustry is awaiting with anxious ln-
.terest the outcome of the final experi-,
ments of James Basset, French en
gineer, who has just announced the
making of a machine with which it
may be possible to manufacture syn
thetic diamonds directly from ordin
ary carbon.
After several years of intensive
study, Basset has constructed a- sim
ple machine which, he says, is capable
of producing 50,000 pounds 'of pres
sure and heat as intense as 3,500 de
grees. Geologists, according to Bas
set, have a well-founded theory that
the formation of diamonds by nature
takes place when carbon encounters
1,000 or more degrees -of heat and a
presure of 20,000 or more pounds..
These, Basset believes, are condi-,
tions under which nature creates the
most precious stones. t
Working along this line of reason-
ing, the engineer has developed a
machine to produce a much greater
heat Intensity and pressure.
Basset hopes to found a laboratory
of "Super-pressure.” If synthetic
diamonds result from his work, he
feels, so much the better. He antici
pates that the application of his heat
and pressure theory to other miner
als will result In startling discoveries.

Sauce For The Goose
A cook is known by the sauces
can make, in the opinion of Clara In
gram Judson, editor of the Kitchen
"Child Life Magazine.”
Sauces are particularly useful
this time of year. Food begins
taste all alike at the tag end of win
ter, and sauces come In very handy
In conjuring up that "different” taste.
Mrs. Judson Is writing for youthful
cooks, but her.recipes and directions
will prove equally valuable to those
woh are a few years older.
Here is her recipe for a mushroom
sauce that will make even that old
standby, meatballs, into<;& new dish:
“Wash and, cut into lengthwise
slices enough mushrooms to make 1
cupful. Melt 3 tablespoonfuls of but
ter In a saucepan. " Add the mush
rooms, cover tightly and cook slowly
for thre^, minutes. Increase the heat
slightly and cook for five minutes,
stirring twice to prevent sticking. Re
move the cover and add 1 tablespoon
ful of flour and teaspoonful of salt,
Sttir gently till the floux* is well blend
ed with the mustrooms and cooks
smooth. Measure 1 cupful of milk
and add it gradually to the mush
rooms, stirring all the while and cook
ing slowly till the whole becomes a
smooth, creamy sauce. Pour around
the meat balls which have been taken
up on a hot platter.”
For puddings, try this sweet sauce:
Into a sauce pan put 2/8 cupful of
brown sugar, 1 cupful water, 1 tiny
pinch of saltt. Bring tp a boil and
boil for 3 minutes. Dissolve 1 tea
spoonful cornstarch in 1 tablespoon
ful of cold water. Stir into the syrup
and boll foi’ two mintites. Add 2
tablespoonfuls butter and teaspoon
ful vanilla extract. Stix* in and serve
i hot.”

Our Canadian March weather—one
day bright, but sloppy, the next blus
tery and cold—is extremely hard on
children. Conditions make it neces
sary for the mother to keep the little
ones indoors. They are often confined
to overheated, badly ventilated rooms
and catch colds which rack their
whole system. To guard . against
these colds and to keep the baby well
till the better, brighter days come
along, a box of Baby’s Own Tablets
should be kept in the house and an
occasional dose given the baby to
keep his stomach and bowels working
regularly. The Tablets are a mild

Care of the Child
Wisdom, patience and love must

cessful -work for children Is built,
writes J. J. Kelso.
The delinquent child should be re
garded as a sick child, more In need
of kindness an care than scolding
and punishment. This is not a new
thought, it has been persistently ad
vocated -for thirty years1, and is to
day being popularly recognized as
never before. The result has been
the creation of Juvenile Courts, Big
Brothers, Boy Scouts-, Fresh Air
Camps, and a hundred other social
activities, "but notwithstanding all
these it Is still the home and the par
ents who mus be held responsible for
he failure of ciblldren to lead an
orderly and useful life. Thdre are
occasions when punishment is neces
sary, especially for repeated wrong
doing, but this calls for careful judg
ment and discrimination. The un-
paralled freedom of to-day and the
excitements of modern life should be
remembered when complaint is
of youthful delinquencies.
