A third common species is the small yellowish-brown lawn ant which nests in lawns and gardens, often entering houses in the search of food. 'The most satisfactory material so far discovered for destroyings ants is sodium .fluoride, sold by druggists, in the form of a fine white powder. This powder should be scattered or dusted lightly in places frequented by the ants and left undisturbed un­ til the insects have disappeared. As sodium fluoride is somewhat poison­ ous, care should Ibe taken to prevent children or pets from gaining access to it. Ants may be discouraged from entering houses by keeping shelves, tables, and floors in .kitchens and pantries as free as possible from crumbs and other food fragments, and by storing, .food-stuffs in ant­ proof containers. Furthei* informa­ tion on the control of ants is given in a mimeographed circular prepar­ ed by the Entomological Branch, Do- mionion Department of Agriculture and may be obtained free on applica­ tion to the Publicity and Extension Branch of the Department in Ottawa Now—Thanks to Kruschen —Not a Trace of Pain This woman’s life was made a misery by the pains of backache. Then her father, who had proved the value of Kruschen himself, ad­ vised her to try it. She did, and here is her grateful letter:— “For years I have been suffering with pains in the back. At times I had to stay in bed for days. I could not walk, or even stand. My father was using Kruschen Salts for the same thing, He. too, used to suf- ter badly, and Kruschen relieved him. He advised me to try it. I did so, and did not get a pain for three years. I often neglected my daily dose for about six months, and two months ago the pain returned. I tried another remedy—it failed, so I again started Kru-sohen, Now I have not a trace of pain, thanks to Kruschen.”—(Mrs,) H. R. Pains in the back are usually due to impurities in the blood—waste products which the internal organs are failing to expel from the system. The numerous salts in Kruschen as­ sist in stimulating these organs to healthy, normal activity, and so help them to keep the system free from harmful waste matter.

THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE A boy’s not a boy when he’s a nuisance. * < * * • • The tulips are finding their place in the sun. * * • ♦ » » • ♦ It takes more than hope to secure a good harvest. King George has a number of calls to make these days, »*♦•**»• The sun and the north wind have had a stiff fight this Spring. ******** The house furnace has enjoyed a lasting popularity this Spring. /•***••*• Never put off till this afternoon what you, can do this morning. ** * **♦* * We’.re glad we kept ’em on.Those cold North winds "sarched our flannens.” ** * **** * And now for church anniversaries and the hunt for the straw­ berry festival. ******** There’s ane advantage to trimming up the lawn—it makes one forget his other troubles. ******** The growth of spring crops has been slow. Farmers of clay land report the ground cold and clammy. ******** If a certain man and his sweetheart were mentioned a little seldomer by radio announcers and the daily press, the sooner we’d forget all about them. ******** The merchants of this good town appreciate the patronage of their farmer friends, They tell us that there are no people whose credit is better or who are better spenders. ********| Funny how those radio people always tell us that the airplanes roar overhead. Are they thinking of the time when such planes will move suib-atmospherically and silently? ******** We noticed that most pathetic of all business tragedies—the forced sale of farm property. This fellow meant well He was in- diligent and intelligent but he did not know how to farm and his capital was insufficient. A farm eats up the man who does not master it. * * * *■* * * * Our American cousins were all agog celebrating the tenth an­ niversary of Charles iLindeberg’s flight over the Atlantic, Asked if the intended celebrating the event, the aviator replied “Why should I? I did it.” A fine reply to such a question. May this upstanding young fellow give us another example of what clean living and high intelligence and sound character may do for the race. ******** SWAT ’EM This is the time to begin the anti-fly campaign. No, we’re not doling out advice to adventurous aviators but trying to give a timely suggestion to all folk who have garbage in any form that they may dispose of. Every bit.of stuff that is on its way to.mother earth by any form of decay or fermentation should be burned or buried forthwith. In this regard an ounce of prevention is worth several tons of cure. Folk will find attention to this duty much cheaper than doing this same work under compulsion. We’ll not be surprised if the council has not already whispered something’ in­ teresting in the ear of the sanitary inspector. ******** THOSE SUSPENDED SENTENCES We have every confidence in the administration of justice in this community. Our judges and magistrates are men wiho know their duty and who discharge that duty. What we greatly fear is that clemency on the part of these trusted officials is being mistaken for weakness. We have heard remarks to this effect. We wish to say that those who entertain any such opinion are" quite (badly mistaken. A suspended sentence is a sentence that stands as a sentence. It does not mean that the bench has placed the of­ fender in the state of a person who <had not broken the law. Us­ ually, if the offender should not take his lesson to heart and he breaks the law a second time, the magistrate says something like this. “You are a lawbreaker, even when authority has given you a second chance to go straight. What is to be done with a party like you who will not walk chalk even when we tell you to do so? It is high time for you to learn that the way of the transgressor is hard, very hard. Society will stand for only so much.” It is high time that parents and others were reminding young people of this fact. ******** INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION It is an assured fact that large laibour organizations are here to stay. The pressing question is what is to be done about it. The policy for repression will not do. Still less helpful will prove the way of accepting without due consideration the plans offered for industrial betterment by many who evidently are not as considerate of the rights and needs of the working man as they are eagei' to place themselves in a position where they can dictate terms to any government in power in their land. This would mean class govern­ ment with destructive vengeance. In this connection some things must be clearly seen. First, all men are not,equally endowed foi’ service. Next, men ought to be rewarded according to the service they render. The man who lays 1/0.0 0 bricks per day deserves more wages than the man Who, with equal opportunity to do so, lays but 500 bricks per day, and so on with every worker. It must be recognized, too, that the employer of laibour requires profits that he may sustain and increase his business in size and quality and lay by a reserve sufficient to sustain his business against the day of adversity. The Same prin­ ciple must be recognized in the case of the man who sells his labor. These are but a tew a very few, of the problems facing modern life this hour. Sidestepping or evasion of any kind will not meet the new day. In no sense is this a class problem. It is not only a national problem but an international problem as well as a problem that affects every son of Adam. Harking back to the past will not get us anywhere. The policy erf." letting thing's drift is to invite the whirlpool and the rapids. .To make this or that adjustment will not meet the situation while the root cause of the trouble re­ mains unremoved. To scotch the snake is not to kill it. Even less is the situation to be cured by a battle of the ballots. It is a ques­ tion of the deepest needs of the human spirit. Till men find out that they are primarily not economic forces but spiritual beiugs and work for spiritual satisfaction rather than for external rewards, they will find no rest. The fault is not in our material conditions but In our state Of mind. All history supports the statement.
