Disaster Became Triumph at Dunkirk,
Says the King
A Canadian Press despatch from
London, England on June 3rd, says:
“The King in a message to Prime
Minister Churchill tonight praised
the “bravery shown by the three
services (navy, army and air force)
and rhe merchant navy” in the Dun
kirk evacuation, and declared it had
“turned disaster into triumph.”
The message follows:
"I wish to express my admiration
of the outstanding skill and bravery
shown by the three services and the
merchant navy in the evacuation of
the British Expeditionary Force
from Northern France,
“So difficult an operation was only
made possible by brilliant leader
ship and an indomitable spirit among
all ranks of the force. The measure
of its success—greater than we dar
ed hope—was due to the unfailing
support of the Royal Air Force and
in
of
the final stages the tireless efforts
naval units of every kind.
While we acclaim this great feat,
which our French Allies, too,
so noble a part, we
with heartfelt sympathy of
and sufferings of those
in
have played
think
the loss
brave men whose self-sacrifice has
turned disaster into triumph.”

DISEASE CARRIER
Until very recent years the house
fly was regarded merely as a pest
but of no serious importance. It is
now known however, that the house
fly carries many serious diseases
such as typhoid, infantile diarrhoea
(summer complaint), cholera, dy-
centery, leprosy, various dangerous
eye diseases (types of ophthalmia,
trachoma) and tuberculosis, besides
carrying the eggs of certain tape
worms, says Dr. Arthur Gibson, Do
minion Entomologist, Dominion De
partment of Agriculture.
The housefly can lay large num
bers of eggs, probably averaging
one thousand, which hatch in a few
hours. Development is rapid and
in warm weather a new generation
of flies may be produced every ten
or twelve days. It will thus be
seen that it is of the utmost im*
portance to kill houseflies early in
the season.
One of the chief dangers from flies
lies in their varied food habits. Not
only do their feed on all kinds
of filth, but will alight on most of
the foods laid on the table for a
meal, contaminating everything j
they touch. i
To control this dangerous pest.

One Saturday morning in May,
1875, I arrived in Atwood, at that
time, known as Newry Station, on
my way from Lucknow to Donegal
where I was to learn cheesemaking.
On my way out about a mile
Nery, I met a middle-aged
trying to lead a lusty calf.
Whether I stayed to help
her way or not I do not remember
now but I know I should have done
so for all the provoking jobs on a
farm this is one of the most difficult
unless the leader has a strong man’s
strength and can pull the calf after
him and even then the stubborn
little fellow will sometimes lie down
and brace his feet against any ob
struction in the way. For this poor
woman it was an herculean task as
that calf jerked her over the knolls
and into the hollows on the road
side and, yes, sometimes into the
mudholes on the wet clay road.
When I told the story at Donegal

A home garden may be of any size

but in any event the small as well
as large garden may be made a
source of both profit and pleasure.
Almost any soil may be used for gar
den purposes but the best are sandy
loams, gravelly loams, light clay
loams and black muck. The light
soils are best suited for the produc
tion of early season crops while
heavier soils are better adapted
the late and -cool season crops.
A good garden soil should
fairly deep, moderately moist
not wet. Good drainage is impor
tant and it may be provided either
by the tile drains or surface open
drains. A great deal of trouble can
be avoided if it is possible to select
land that has a gentle slope, The
best garden lands are those that
are not affected by the shale of
trees or filled with tree roots. A
shelter belt some distance from the
garden on the north, west and east
side will give protection against cold
winds. It is also very important
that the garden be not at too great

Success is measured by the sacri
fices you are willing to make to
achieve it.
The reasons for this situation are
as follows: first, excessive amounts
of bacon in storage in Great Britain
and with the approach of warm
weather British authorities regard
it as imperative to use up stored
products before authorizing increas
ed imports. Second, production of
bacon in Great’ Britain and Ireland
continues at higher than expected
levels. Third, problems of shipping
continue to present difficulties. Ba-
can must be handled in refrigerated
space. -Ships so equipped are not
numerous and in view of their speed
and construction are often required
for other purposes. Finally, it is
apparent intentions of the British
authorities to restore bacon ration
ing at an early date, and thereby
restrict consumption. One purpose
of the rationing undoubtedly is to
require British civilians to eat home
producd food and thereby conserve
foreign exchange.
“Some of the above reasons ap
ply to the immediate present and
others to the future, but it can be
stated definitely that no indication
has yet been given that Britain will
at any time require greater quant
ities of bacon from Canada than are
provided for in the present contract.
“What this means to the Cana
dian producer of hogs and bacon
ining the Canadian situation. The
present contract of 5,600,000 lbs.
of bacon and hams weekly uses the
product of about 48,000 Canadian
hogs, The
consumes
000 hogs
therefore,
sell the product of less than 90,000
hogs each week. From November
4 to April 4 weekly marketings of
hogs in Canada averaged more’ than
9 6,000, During the period there
has been accumulated in storage
the product of about 280,000 hogs.
According to present estimates this
amount is sufficient to make up
any possible deficiency of exports
which may result from short hog
marketings during the summer
months. With current marketings
exceeding the amount required for
export and domestic use, it is appar
ent that greater quantities of pork
products will be offered for sale
in the domestic market. The pres
sure of increased supplies on the
domestic market will in all prob
ability result in lower prices for the
products. Experience indicates that
lower prices will increase consump
tion, consequently it may be pos
sible to market the whole Canadian
production. If prices to Canadian
consumers decline, there will be
some decline in hog prices. What
that decline may be cannot be fore
cast until experience demonstrates
what reduction in price will p’ftt into
consumption the additional quant
ity necessary to clear
“With regard to the
future, there seems to
bility of making any
diction at the present
be assumed that if the war contin
ues for a long period Britain
call upon Canada for greater
plies of bacon and many other
products. However, since the
ation and course of the war cannot
be predicted, it is equally impos
sible to predict when an increased
demand for bacon may come from,

Painful Boils
Bad Blood the Cause
When boils start to break out on
different parts of the body it is an
evidence that the blood is loaded up
with impurities.
Just when you think you are rid
of one, another crops up to take its
place and prolong your misery.
All the lancing and poulticing you
may do will not stop more coming.
Why not give that old, reliable,
blood purifying medicine Burdock
Blood Bitters a chance to banish the
boils? Thousands have used it for
this purpose during the past 60 years.
Take B.B.B. and get rid of the bad
blood and the boils too.
