In these busy days, many of us have to satisfy pur hunger with a sandwich, often bolted, hurriedly, We know we’re playing fast and loose with pur insides, but the job must take first place. Irregular meals, irregular sleep, and new ways of living are all causes of constipa­ tion. How fo Get Gentle Relief Constipation, as you know, is caused .mainly by the disappearance of moisture from the large intestine. Therefore, that moisture must re­turn. This is done by the action of the several mineral salts which are present in Kruschen. At the same time Kruschen, by its diuretic action helps to flush the kidneys, thus ridding your bloodstream of its accumulated toxic poisons, It stands to reason that the size of dose for relieving constipation depends on the individual. But once this initial constipation has been relieved, a small daily dose-—just enough to cover a dime-—will help to keep you regular, and cheerful. Start today to remedy the mischief wrought by irregular meals and hours. You can get Kruschen horn any druggist—25c, - ’ -and 75c, rink on Tuesday night. • Report of Room JIK Public School Junior II» Honors?—-Bernice Del- bridge. Winnifred Walper. Mary Van Camp.

HOW FARMERS CAN HELP THEMSELVES Why should we as farmers be terested in starting listening' groups to hear the series of farm broadcasts that have already start­ ed over CBC? This is a question that should merit the serious con­ sideration of all responsible and in­ telligent farm citizens, Although there are secondary or minor benefits that should acme, such a? a real impetus given to good wholesome community sociability, the writer feels he is correct in stating that an extensive develop­ ment of the listening groups will give a real boost to the Work of or­ ganising our .agricultural ‘industry. As most of you already know, we have in Canada a young Dominion- wi'de farmers’ organization, namely, The Canadian ‘Federation of Agri­ culture, To make this organiza­ tion a more virile and powerful force it is necessary that we far­ mers on the hack concessions be­ come informed regarding our prob­ lems and how they may be met and then come to a realization that each one of us can become a vital link in this national farm organization. As this letter is being written, the president of oui* national or­ ganization, Mr. H. H. Hannam, al­ ong with several supporters) is in Ottawa pleading the case of agri­ culture before Premiei’ King and the whole Federal cabinet. The fact that our farm leaders are able to obtain such an audience from the government at this time is a very encouraging and progressive step, but has it not struck us as ordinary farmers that the presentation of our case would be far more effective if we were all militant supporters of this Canadian Federation of Agri­ culture? After ten years of very difficult times many farmers are more or less discouraged and adopt a defeat­ ist attitude. They will remark! something of this nature: ‘‘Farmers have tried to organize" many times and theii’ efforts have invariably resulted in failure because farmers will not stick together.” Unfortun­ ately many attempts of farmers to organize have met with disappoint­ ing results put no progress can ever be made by adopting a defeatist at­ titude. All legislative reforms and progress in history have been brought about by people who re­ fuse to accept defeat but keep alive a vision of better things and put forth cohsisten and persistent ef­ forts to make their vision become a reality, While the problem of bringing prosperity to our industry may dif- i i last a in the differ­ ES 883 The represented: flower girl; * ficu.lt it is by no means insoluable or incapable of solution. In fact it is imperative that we sooner or la­ ter bring about reform and a great­ er measure of equality and parity in prices, in our economic relation­ ships if we are going to perpetuate democracy and make it work. The role we are asked to take as producers at this time is a very easy one. We are asked to volun­ tarily study and think about our farm difficulties in a systematic way through the medium of the radio and the. listening group. For further information on the organ­ ization of listening groups write Provincial Secretary of Radio For­ ums, 28 Duke Street, Toronto, Ont. As farmers are we going to per­ petuate injustice, inequality and, hardship largely because of our own inertia, lethargy and inaction or are mortal can?” we going to be like the im- biblical Mary, ‘"Do what we KIPPEN N.
