After spending a great deal of money on Various treatments he tried Kruschen Salts. ' Within three weeks he got welcome ' r<lfef.~He ”^^fesses Kis”^gratitu^^^ fn the following letter:-— “For six years I have suffered from lumbago and rheumatism. I have ■pent a great deal, of money on treatments', without avail. I was ad­ vised several times to try Kruschen Salts, hut only recently did ‘so. Now, after , three weeks’ treatment, I feel » new man, and walk with pleasure -> instead of pain.' I sleep as I haven’t slept for years;.^.nd -am filled with a deep sense of gratitude to the chem­ ists who' have evolved Kruschen Salts.—R.T. Lumbagp, like gout and rheuma­ tism, is frequently caused, by an ex­ cess of uric acid in the blood. If you eould see how Kruschen dulls those uric acid deposits, thi^n dissolves them away altogether, you would agree that the Kruschen treatment. ___must bring relief in many cases of f lumbago. , Bank of Canada PlansBuilding Site Now Is' Being Sdtight “ Fdr Own Quarters At Ottawa OTTAWA—Negotiations are- - be­ ing- carr ied-bn- by the- Bank ,of. Can­ ada, for purchase of a property on Wellington street on which it is pro­ posed to erect a building which would serve.,the needs' of the bank for many years to come. Graham Ford Towers, governor of the bank, questioned on the report that a property had, been bought', said nothing had been- set­ tled. . .. - • 1 The site for wlVcb negatialifms-sare. under -way w;ould place the bank pre­ mises in dose proximity to the Con­ federation' Building and the new Justice Building, which (is now near­ ing completion.-The new. batik -would be almost directly opposite the latter structure, which will house the de­ partment of Justice, and offices of the Royal Canadian . Mounted Police. ? “The latest writer about Shake­ speare the man confesses, in effect, {more about him than already has ifceen made known,” observes the Ot- itawa Journal. “This is a good thing, lit la not the man but the genius whom the world acclaims. Those who think they explain the creator of Lear and Juliet, Touchstone hnd Falstaff, by citing facts, real or supposed, about ithe man who was known to others as '.William Shakespeare are utterly mis­ taken.' ' “To upperstand Shakespeare, the ^creative genius,' we must understand dthe England ihat made him, even °to 'understand the world, that made Eng­ land. It is no wonder that the pry- ftng inquisitiveness about men of gen­ ius has provoked to their worst in eur times those who engage Jh the '^oulish activity of "debunking.” tWhen admirers try to inake a god of the man who was possessed by gen­ ius their. errors are. so many and so ^bsurd that even a half-wit can lead 'the crowd in ridicule against them. The man. of genius, living or dead, pas rights which all others are bound |n decency to respect. The genius is jipenly displayed in the works produc­ ed whether those works be buildings, ipoems, laws or systems of; thought.' jit is the;yfght of anyone to examine those works, to appraise them/to ex- them; but the life behind the psork is ho more on display than any ether. To inquire too deeply into it 'far not a work of acclaim or admira­ tion but of morbid curiosity. It de­ feats its own ends. For the more the biographer deals with the life the far­ ther he wanders from consideration pt the genius which alone makes the ’ life worthy of his attention. A blo- Sraphy so planned and produced may » a monument of devoted labor of pe scholarship, of great literary |ftill,' but It obscures rather than re­ veals that'in which the world Is , in: forested, the workman whose creative Gwer has enriched and glorified man- nd. It is an error of Pharisaism anch as that which insisted upon re­ garding the gift upon the altar as treater than the altar itself.” Canada occupies rented quarters on Wellington street arid will, probably remain there at least until the pres­ ent tw’p-year lease expires. The pro­ posal is to ere.ct a modest building sufficiently roomy to provide for ex-; pansion.

The Skunk as a Pet Writes the Stratford Beacon- Herald.: “A flews item the other day stated that some pfeople in Ohio were due for a surprise'pn opening a’box stolen from a parked car as the con­ tents. were—a pet skupk'. As a matter of fact skunks can be made very delightful pets. It is necessary, of 'course, to extract the sac containing the fluid which he uses for defence, but when that is. done the result is very pleasing, for besides being a very pretty animal, the skunk is a gentle and playful companion. and can be trained to do things just like a dog. People who have deodorized skunks report they are affectionate and amusing and quite harmless playniatos for child­ ren. • .’People are too much down on the skunk. He is yeally one of the best frienis a farmer has. He destroys more beetles, grasshoppers and small insect pests than a.l other animals put together. True, he eats eggs and sometimes kijlls, a chicken, but the balance is heavily in his favor. Quite a Respectable family man is the skunk. If you are fortunate you may sometimes see him stepping along sedately at the head of his wife and children — about ten of them—in single .file, .searching for food. He does not seek to annoy any­ body, but if you come upon him sud­ denly and startle him, look out. When he turns his back toward you it is. time to run Farm Problems Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY G.

Young fruit trees and shrubs of many kinds have been girdled, corn left in stooks in the fields over winter has been Fobbed of all its grain and gi’assland is horieycambed with the runways and burrows of the mice. Mice have been more abundant than . they have been ''for many years. , At the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology, there has recently been' placed on view, an * interesting, ex­ hibit illustrating another phase of the, mouse plague. . Thisl includes a pile of owl pellets containing the skulls Of hundreds of mice eaten by. short-eared owls, which ^roosted during the winter on the grounds of the Bathurst Golf Course just north of Toronto, The bones and hair of mice eaten by owls .are not digested but are cast up in. the form of com­ pact, pellets. A half bushel (t>f these, pellets were gathered up beneath ornamental evergreen" trees which had served as Wintei* loosts for several owls. Examination of 350 of these pellets selected at random frojm the pile revealed the remains of 536 mice and 4, birds: . . The mouse whose uhusual abuni dance is attracting,.such- wide atten­ tion is the meadow or field mouse, sometipies called vole. It is a stout mouse, covered with rather long brown ■ hair. It is distinguished, from the house mouse and the deer or while-footed mouse, the other itwo, common species found in Ontario, by its short tail, small'ears and tiny eyes. It is active by day while the other two are active at night. Several causes have been sug­ gested ’for the present abundance of. field, mice, including the scarcity of hawks and owls, many of which are known to feed extensively on mice. It is known, thai- -mice of' several kinds vary in numbers from year to year in much the same way a:s.the snow-shoe rabbit or varying hare does. Over a period of years, they gradually increase in numbers until unusual abundance i's'reached, when they begin bo decline until they are again ^car(’e.- Such - fluctuation re­ cur with surprising regularity in the populations of many animals. Tn the case of the rabbit, it is nine or ten years between successive peaks. It is not known definitely what the mouse' period is but it is probably ,four or five years. The present peak of. numbers of the meadow mouse is an unusually high one. Correspondents cam^Ssist the ef­ forts being made to i^iderstand thfese fluctuations in animal numbers by communicating their -observations on the present mouse plague to the Ro­ yal Ontario Museum of Zoology, Toronto. (Toronto Telegram). Quack grass, hated in the United States as a noxious weed, has been hybridized with wheat by a Russian plant breeder, Dr. H. B. Tzitsin, the Tass Agency at Washington has been inforriied. The new grain grows •perennially, like its quack grdss parent. This,, says Science Service, would presumably give it the double advantage of not having to be . sown every year, and of covering and- binding the soil against erosion with a continuous mat of roots. Small-scale experiments with the hybrid grain indicate that it will yield more flour, bushel for bushel, than “straight” wheat. Bread baked froth the hybrid grain flour is said to be of good quality and flavor. Another of Dr. Tzitsiri’s hybrid wheats combines four wheat varie­ ties in. its pedigree/ and is declared to be a phenomenally heavy yielder, one stalk producing as many as 400 grains. ' Still another hybrid wheat has been evolved for growing in the short-summered north; its grain can' be matured in as little ' as. days.. _Ee.d£striaiis,._Cyclists--a-nd-Mo- torists Would All Benefit by . • Making Haste Slowly. safe driving, is extraordinarily small.

Hurry’is certainly one of- the im- ,portant causes of road accidents; hurry • on the part of the motor-car driver, the pedestrian, the cyclist'and. other road users, writes Oliver Stewart in th© London Morning Post. It is one of the hardest of all causes to deal with, which is perhaps why it is* so rarely mentioned. Most ’motorists - have met fairly frequently the pedestrian who sees his omnibus istarting on the other side of the road and who, in his hurry to catch it, darts across in front of on­ coming traffic. At such moments., th© pedestrian fails to note the speed of oncoming vehicles or whether the road is slippery or' Pot. He fails to notice whether jt is possible for him to be seen as he-makes his sudden dive into , the: traffic. Th© only thing that carries him forward is the hurry to get on fhe step of that omnibus. The cyclist in a'hurry does various things. One. of the commonest is to turn a left-hand corner while traffic.' is passing and, iristead of awaiting an opening .to get on the correct side of, the roa<k to rido along close to the left-hand curb. This is a danger­ ous practice which- is extraordinarily prevalent. One' sympathises with those vvhb ride delivery bicycles, who are often hard pressed to,get through all their orders in the time allotted; but They shbuld be...persuaded, no' matter how. great the hurry, :td re­ sist the temptation to ride, on the [eft-hand side of the road. /The motorist in a hurry manifests, his condition by Violent acceleration and braking, and by frequent use of’ the horn. ^He makes stabs at. c^very opening to try to get through and jumps away On the amber ?tt the traffic lights. To be drunk in charge of a hiotor-car is regarded . as a serious offence. To be in a desper­ ate hurry in charge of a motor-car, is more dangerous^- 4 Bad Manners I have known drunken drivers who drive in a slow, rather dignified, and.essentially safe way; but I have never known a driver who is in a desperate hurry to drive other than in an exceedingly dangerous way. Hurry is one of the. prime causes of bad road manners, bad driving, a|nd bad accidents. ■ -So- far those-- who- make u ’ their business to -invent regulations have not jhit on any rhea ns of determin­ ing a state ef hurry, So they have not. made it • an 'offence when in charge of a. motor-car. Po-sihly they do not. appreciate what, a large part it plriys in road accidents. But- motor-drivers shoq’d ’ recognize^ the risks which attend it. and shoujd train themselves to resist it.
