FEBRUARY 16, W33 When Sciatica Yielded to Kruschen There can be no qoutit that this man has finished walking with a stick, for it is now four years since he discarded it. He writes:-—“For 18 months I suffered with chronic sciatica and rheumatism, and was unable to walk .without the aid of a stick. But after taking Kruschen Salts for a short time, I was able to threw away the stick. It is now four years since this happened, and I have had no re­ turn of the complaint, and have not lost a day from work. I shall never be without Kruschen Salts, as they are worth their weight in gold. You can use this letter as you please,, as I can honestly recommend Kruschen Salts to any suffer.”—,C. F. If the eliminating organs become sluggish, they permit harmful uric acid to accumulate and deposit it self in the tissues, muscles and the joints in the form of needle-pointed crystals, which, piercing the n^rve sheaths, cause excruciating pains of sciatica. The six salts in Kruschen stimulate* the eliminating organs to healthy, regular action. Mischievious uric acid is then given no lime tc collect.

Recently a stirring article appeared in The Farmer's Advocate under the title, “After High School, Wljat?” With this article we are in substantial agreement. For High (School days surely end and with the completion, of this period comes the day when, the High School youth must either earn or starve. ‘ The writer of the articles referred to warn youths and nfaidens and parents alike that the professions are crowded; that no end of such folk are jobless and helpless in the presence of the need of bread and clothing and heat, fully pondered, At the -same time there important, namely, “During that.a youth or maiden shows what he is made of during this very period. If a youth is not filled with laudable ambition by the time he is through with High School, he is likely to he a bad mess to the end of the chapter, Hence our query as to the value of send­ ing a boy to a High School. What is done for him there? What is done to light up his spirit? What is done during that period to inculcate in him punctuality and self reliance and initiative and accuracy and dependability and those other qualities and habits without which life for him will not he worth living? Is he being trained to be a lifter or a leaner? What is- to become of a boy af­ ter High School depends upon what he was when he entered High -School and the discipline through which he passed wen in the High School. slats' diary These grim facts cannot be too care- is another question that is far more High School, What?” Be it known ******* * WHO’S WHO AT OTTAWA By Charles Ross, Jr. RIGHT HON. ARTHUR Conservative Leader in There’s many a man plow up in Blanshard Perth County,' Ont., who will stop his work at almost any hour of the day and tell you about “Art”. They went to school with him, “way back when,” and not so far back and you’ll, get a good many of boyhood pranks and early ships. Their former school fellow has gone far, farther than any of them. The bare recital of his achievements in 59 short years is as impressive as most full-length bio­ graphies of the Great. Elected from Portage La Prairie (where he pros­ pered as favorite son after his trek west in 189 8), re-elected 1911, 1913 only sfecre- mines 1917, MEIGHAN the Senate behind the Township, either, stories friend- 1917, 1922, 1925, defeated twice, solicitor-general 1913, tary of state and minsiter of 1917, minister of the interior imperia] war cabinet 1918,‘prime minister and secretary for internal affairs 1920--1921, member privy council 1920, prime minister again in 192 6, elected to senate of Canada 1932. He is the same age. as Mac­ kenzie King, but it isn’t on record ■that this is a matter of personal pride. As a Conservative with a life long record on this side of pol­ itics he is often surprisingly liberal in his beliefs. This has neiped him not infrequently in his duties as first Conservative in the senate. In intro'’.ccing the measure calculated to help the country out of the rail­ way imprasse he remarked with open candidness that almost all clauses were open to criticism and invited as many amendments as the lion members thought advisible. In this he seems to make an almost perfect foil for his leader in politics. He has lived Jong enough and seen life in all its manifestations to such a - degree he will tell you that he no longer .believes any human product can possibly be perfect. He has al­ ways wanted to be successful, but yearly finds success more difficult tc define. I (Experimental Farm Notes) The soybean is an annual legume and can be grown for hay or Ofor seed. For hay the usual method is to seed solid, using 'the ordinary grain drill. This will require about 1 1-2 to 2 bushels of seed per acre, de­ pending upon the variety and the size of seed. -z Soybeans make an excellent emer­ gency crop in the event of clover or alfalfa failure, and under average conditions should yield from 1 1-2 to 2 1-2 tons per acre, depending upon the variety used and the locality. The crop should be cut when the seeds in the pods are about half formed, .Soybean hay has about the same feed, value as alfalfa hay. For seed the crop can be drilled solid, although it is usual to plant in rows 28 to 30 inches apart. The grain drill can be used and the width of rows adjusted by covering the feed -cups not in use. The plants in the rows should be about 3 in apart and this rate of planting re­ quires about 30 pounds 1-2 bush©1 of seed to the acres. .Commence cultivating as soon as the beans-are coming through the ground, using the- spike tooth har­ row. This will break any crust and destroy freshly germinated weeds. Row cultivation should be frequent enough to keep down weeds, which is essential if a good seed crop ,is to be produced. / Southwestern Ontario is especial­ ly suitable for soybean seed pro­ duction. In this district, at the Do­ minion Expertimental Station, Har­ row, several varieties tested have averaged over 30 bushels of seed per acre, over a six-year period. Varieties recommend are: A. K. and Earl Korean for extreme South- westerne Ontario; O.A.C. No. 211 and Manchu for Western Ontario generally, and Mandarin for Eastern Ontario and districts with similiar conditions.. Generally speaking soybeans should be planted about the middle of May or when danger from fors-t is past. Inoculate the seed if planting soy­ beans for the first time. The prop­ er culture can be obtained from the Division of Bacteriology, Central Ex­ perimental Farm, Ottawa.

The following letter was received recently by a company which man­ ufactures corn syrup: “Dear Sirs: Though I have taken six cans of your corn syrup my corns are no better now than when I started.” RECOVERY About ’’the most hopeful sign of the times is the way sensible people are talking about recovery from the present financial de­ pression. When the -crash came in 1929 governments called to­ gether the captains of industry and asked them to heal the business hurt of the people. These folk found no complete remedy Then the statesmen took a hand at the matter themselves and called conferences of one sort or an other. -Such gatherings did not isfactorily meet the demands of the occasion. Now, however, ter counsels are prevailing. 'Our wisest men are seeing that remedy lies in the hands of individual men and women. Each must learn to respect his own ideas, his own efforts and his own sacrifices and make his own adventure, in behalf of the- better times. Second, there must be a practical recognition of the. fact that merit, merit in goods, in services and in devotion to' the end in view simply must be recognized and labored for terribly. And, third, we use that word “labored” advisedly. However it has come about, labor has become distasteful. Britain has' dis­ covered that her output per worker is not satisfactory. For that reason -she finds herself falling behind in a great many of her fac­ tories. Is not the put pel’ worker.” the importance of deceived us.

We require our individuals to .get out on their right of way rather than to pathetically look for relief in the mass. ««**«*«■ same true of Canada? Note that phrase—“out- There’s the point. We have lost the sense of the individual’s product. Mass production has need to rediscover the value of the individual. The individual is not a do so Sheep stock s TOUGH GOING Live stock men find the going very difficult. Dairy men find ■that unless their herds are of unusual quality in performance, they cannot produce milk profitably. Farmers who fatten cattle at a loss. Hog fattening is no longer a profitable industry, culture is not a financial success. Just now frequent conferences are being held ny live men to discover a remedy for the present disabilities under which they struggle. As usual there are those who say that the govern­ ment should “do something.” There are others who complain that the middle man is “getting all the profit.” There.are others who say that there is too much milk, too much wool, too much mutton, too much poultry for the market. Well, there is a good deal in what these live stock men are -saying, The middle man does get something for his work, yet few cattle buyers are rich, ness may make some money, prises on the market, like snowballs on the Twelfth of July. The simple fact is that times are hard. As soon as railroads and bridges are under construction, as soon as skyscrapers are under1 way, when large, orders are issued for building of houses and similiar industries, there will be an increased demand for all the farmer has to offer. When there is a demand for beef and milk and eggs and poultry and potatoes and mutton, the farmer will be called upon. In the meantime cities, from sheer necessity not from -choice, are tightening their belts and paring their -orders even for food. This is true of our own town. It is true of every town we know anything about. It is .true universally. So why quarrel about it? Why blame a worldwide condition? Farmers, like the rest of us, have their backs to the wall and we’re sorry. What is to be done about it we cannot even suggest, unless it is that we set ourselves for a long, hard struggle and highly resolve that we’ll play the man till events proclaim us winners. «**#«*« * And The middle man in the milk busi- Yet there are scores o-t such enter- Produce men who are making profits are A TIMELY PROTEST (St. Marys Journal-Argus) A timely protest is lodged against the exorbitant hydro service charges for summer cottages in a letter to the Toronto Globe by A. D. Williams of Sarnia. That people who use their summer ca­ bins two months in the year should pay for a full twelve months’ service with no allowance whatever for the fact that it is used only one-sixth of the time, is on the face of it unreasonable. Twenty­ odd dollars in addition to paying for all the juice makes a pretty stiff bill, Mr. Williams goes on to say:—“Would we do without Hydro? No, but one dislikes to be imposed upon, and it is irritat­ ing to be forced to pay inflated prices even for domestic conven­ iences. We are supposed to be getting these utilities at cost; by what hyperbolical system of mathematics do they arrive at this con­ clusion? Shades of Adam Beck, X do not think he expected that system to bo used. I hope our milkman will hot become inoculated with this “service” bug; ho might levy a tax for the service of the cow as she supplies the “juice” for ottr breakfast cereal.” Serious­ ly, it is high time that this excessive charge which affects many hundreds of users in the lake districts should be equitably adjusted Why no, we’re never lonesome” "You must be lonely these days,” Joe Hanley suggested, "now that young Jim has left home.” "Why, not at all,” replied Old Jim, pointing to the telephone with a smile. "We talk with the lad on Long Distance every week, And it’s almost as good as seeing him.” For 30 cents you can telephone about 100 miles by making an ’’any­ one" call (station- to-station) after 8.30 p.m. See list of rates in front of directory. "Isn’t it expensive?” "Why no, station-to-station flight rates make it about 25 cents.” Let Long Distance keep you in touch with friends and relations. It is quick, clear, dependable and the cost is trifling. His Head Wouid Burst Mr. A. M. Lambert, Mount Olio, B.C., writes I-- “When out on my trap line I got thoroughly chilled: caught cold, and would cough until I thought my head would burst, and no matter what I did the cough would not let up. _ • I sent for two bottles of Dr. Wood’s Norway Pme Syrup, and before I had finished the first one my cough was reliovod.” Price 35c. a bottle] large family size 65c; at all drug and general stores; put up only by The T.
