• Your liver is the largest organ in your body
and most important to your health. It supplies energy to muscles, tissues. and glands. It
unhealthy, your body lacks this energy and . becomes enfeebled—yopthful vim disappears.
Again your liver pours out bile to digest food,
get rid of waste and allow proper nourishment
to reach your blood.' When your liver gets out of order proper digestion and nourishment
stop—you're poisoned with the waste that
decomposes in your intestines. Nervous troubles and rheumatic pains arise ktinnthis
poison. You become constipated, stomach and
kidneys can't work properly. The whole
system is affected and you feel "rotten," head-
achy, backachy, dizzy, tired out—a ready prey
for sickness and disease.
Thousands of people are never sick, and have won prompt relief from these miseries with
"Improved Fruittt-tives Liver Tablets." The
liver is toned up, the other organs function
normally and lasting good health results.
Today 'Improved Fruit-a-fives" are Canada's largest selling liver tablets. They must be good!

GLADIOLUS THRIPS
STILL A MENACE
Growers of that beautiful flower the
gladiolus are again urged to let no
obstacle interfere with the proper
treatment of their corms, as asafe-
guard against a possible outbreak of
the gladiolus thrips next summer,
warns Alan G. Dustan, Associate En-
tomologist (Field Crops Insect In-
vestigations). Past experience has
shown that this is the most important
step of the year in gladiolus .culture
and failure to follow the practice has
frequently led to ruin. There are now
many excellent knoivit methods for
treating corms, devised fox the ,grower
of small, medium, or large crops. All
of these will give, virtually perfect con-
trol. For the man with only about
a hundred corms to treat, corrosive
sublimate will probably prove the
most satisfactory. The :grower of a
medium Crop depends largely on
naphthalene flakes which he has found
cheap, dependable and easy of appli-
cation.. Where the number of corms
annually planted runs into the thous-
ands, fumigation with cyanide or
methyl bromide will be found the most
suitable. Most ,growers, through us-
age,' are conversant with one or other
of 'these methods.
The point to bear in mind now is
that relatively little time remains for
the carrying out of any of these treat-
ments. Delay at this late date, with
planting time rapidly approaching, is
dangerous. Every grower should give
this matter serious consideration and
if he has neglected, so far, to treat
his corms, prompt action should be
taken. Planting untreated corms
meartS trouble later on; not only to the
grower responsible for the oversight,
bet to all of his neighbours, since his
garden will serve as a centre of thrips

NOW TIME CONTROL)
'CLOTHES MOTHS
Every year, especially during the
spring and summer months, clothes
moths and carpet beetles do enormous
damage to woollen clothing, furs and
fabrics of animal origin, With the
present urgent need of conserving
materials it is everyone's duty to take
step, to prevent .such losses and thus
contribute, towards winning the war.
Clothes triibths have been troublesome
pests for a long time. "In the .BOOlt of
Isaiah appears the following reference
to their ravages: "The moth shall eat
them up like a garment, and the worm
shall eat them like wool." More than
2,000 years ago, the Greek scientist
Aristotle wrote of the smali, animals
which occur in wool and woollen,
goods and are present "in greatest
numbers when the wool is dusty."
The Roman Pliny, thought that "a
suit of clothes placed ,upon a coffin
will be forever proof against the teeth
of moths:" In the Middle Ages it
was believed that clothes "wrapped in
the skin of a lion have nothing to fear."
This was only supersition, and is
ignored to-day, when people are fort-
unate in having scientific knowledge to
guide them,
According to information issued by
the Division of Entomology, Science
Service, Dominion Department of
Agriculture, clothing, blankets, and
Other articles subject to damage
should be thoroughly brushed or sent
to the dry cleaners before being stor-
ed away during the warm weather,
Following this they may be placed in
boxes or trunks made as moth-tight
and gas-tight as possible by sealing
all cracks with adhesive tape. To re-
move any danger of infestation, about
one potind either of fresh naphthalene
flakes or paradichlorobenzene crystals
should be scattered in each large
trunk full' of clothes and the lid closed
tightly. The concentrated fumes from
these chemicals are deadly to the in-
sects. :Clothing in moth bags may be
given additional protection by adding
a few ounces of one of these substanc-
es to each bag. As the fumes are
heavier than air the material should
be suspended' in• cheesecloth in the
upper part of the bags. To retain the
fumes and to keep out moths, the bags
should be of some fairly impervious
material such as heavy brown paper
free from holes of any kind. Damage
to piano felting may also be guarded
against by suspending about one
pound of naphthalene or paradichloro-
benzene in chee-Secloth bags inside the
piano,,and keeping it closed when not
inuse.
The larvae of clothes moths and
carpet 'beetles may develop in many
out of the way places where lint and
duct collect, such as inverted lamp
globes, furance air shafts, floor cracks,
behind sideboards, and even in the
mending basket. Discarded clothes
and furnishings left in the basement
or attic are also a frequent source
of infestation. A periodic house-clean.-
ing, which takes into account all these
and similar likely breeding places, is
one bf the most effective control
measures. Rugs should be cleaned On
both sides. Where available, a vacuum
cleaner iS a valuable aid in doing a
thorough job.
If the hOus'e is to be closed for a
long period, it is wise to scatter naph-
thalene or paradichlorobenzene literal-
ly over rugs and carpets, 'afterwards
rolling them tightly and tying them
up in stout brown paper. Upliqlstered
furniture may be treated, in a similar
manner.
Much is heard nowadays of so-called
moth-proOfing substances. While
some of these have definite value,
none gives complete and permanent
protection under 'all conditions., A
simple 'and fairly effective preparation
for home use may be made by dissolv-
ing two ounces of sodium fluosilicate
in ,one gallon of hot water, If this is
not available, a saturated solution of
sodium fluoride has considerable merit.
The solutions may be used for treating
rugS- and furniture coverings, provid-
ing there is no danger of water dam-
aging the fabrics. They should be ap-
plied when cool by means of a sprayer
or a sponge, using sufficient to satur-
ate the material. When dry, the slight
"bloOm" that may appear on the sur-
face should be brushed off. Sodium
fluosilicate and sodium fluoride are
poisons and should be handled with
due caution.

carpet beetles may be obtained on re-
quest from the Publicity and Exten-
sion Division, Dominion Department

CARE OF
MILKING MACHINES
(Science Service News)
With help so scarce, and with an
urgent need for all the milk that can
be produced, the milking machine can
play a very important part, How-
ever, the milking machine must be
properly looked after if the quality of
the milk is to be maintained. With its
yards of rubber tubing, the mechanical
milker furnishes a wonderful breeding
place for bactteria; unless proper steps
are taken, these grow there between
makings and billions of them are
flushed out with the milk at the next
milking. Complaints follow, and the
milking machine gets a bad name.
A number of different methods
have been recommended for the care
of milking machines. Too often these
take ,so much time to carry out that
the minutes saved in milking are used
up. in trying to carry out the direc-
tions. Such directions usually call for
large quantities of 'hot water, some-
thing not easily 'provided on the aver-
