R.) Will the Provincial Highways De- partment appoint sweepers to clear away the broken glass this year? The joker in the new bill is the permission given hoeeikeepers to continue to sell four -point -four beer. llhe Government's strong man will not be as strong as the. liquor he dis- penses. The new Provincial Treasurer's estimate of Ontario's thirst should send br'ewe'ry and distillery stocks up a few more points. Under Mr. Ferguson's liquor bill it will be illegal to get drunk, but it overlooked the necessity of defining what the word means. Karl Helmuth, the member for South Waterloo, (kinetics the sale of beer by the glass In hotels. That will come later if the present Govern- ment stays in office. It has surrend- ered the key and the door will be wide open before lona. Assuming a profit of 25 per cent. the Ontario Government must expect to sell $30,000,000 worth of liquor within twelve months after the be- ginning of the new system. No such figures were mentioned in the (gee tion campaign. That, of course, was a fight for "temperance" by the Gov- ernment. (The Government undertakes to make a profit of $3,500,000 in six months from the sale of liquor, and at the same time reduce the amount of drinking, promote temperance and sobriety and abolish the bootlegger. It will be a wonderful system, and there are some wonderful promisees at Queen's Park. ASPARAGUS AND EGGS A good luncheon dish may be made by combining scrambled one with a border of warm asparagus.

BY HURON WATERS Lake lluron is 200 miles long, 105 rn]Ics broad and 700 foot at it, deep- est, and lies 000 feet ebovn sea- , level, It is such a friendly lake with waters so describably blue end mag- nificent sand beaches. For long, long stretches its w'ater's lap the shores of fertile faresg country, and its numerous towns are prosper- ous and up-to-date in every way, and good roads are to be found every- where along the shores of the lake. The only really bail piece or road is a stretch of ten miles called the "Pinery," which lies between Kettle Point and Grand Bend, A bettor name for it would have been "The Oakely," for beautiful oak trees in. terlace overhead. Beneath the one wheels lies treacherous blow sand, where the motorist tinea it impossible to turn out and pass a car coming from an opposite direction. sand hills like mountains obscure the lake from view. These hills of blow sand account for many abandoned shacks that stand in "The Pinery," proclaiming to all who press by, their story of how brave settlers once triad to make a living thee., and fail- ed. Fc.•w motorists would "anture into "The Pinery" were not the signs at the Crossroads so inviting, To follow the arrow -point becomes sec- ond nature with the man ac the wheel. To Grand Bend, they all point north, and to Kettle Point they direct one going seen. Th'n. are favorite summer resorts :mown as a Mecca to countless American tour- ists. Kettle Point is a part of Lake Huron road which no traveller cr.n afford to miss. It is approached clown a side -road through an Indian reserve. The beach is one of nat- ure's curiosities. Greer sneets of shale are laid out on the Iake•lloo• with the evenness of a cement side- walk. The bather may walk in and. nut until his head looks , mere speck in the cR..•tunee. Embedded in the shale are numerous round erunes of flintlike hardness which look like kettlee. Many have wore:ea up out of the shale and are lying free on the share and for half a mite oue in- to the water. Others are in the pro- cess of heaving up. Several of the largest are of perfectly regular shape and have boon written over with names of tourists tine texts of Scripture, Bayfield is also another favorite summer resort for American tone• ists, who conte to make their summer homes there.. Proceeding on, we come to Goderich, one of the lake ports. What grander picture can we recall to memory than that of view- ing from the harbor on a leatttifs'l summer evening a sunset so vit•idly orange and crimson sinking beneath Huron's waters so blue? Bruce Beach is also well known, being two miles and a half from Kin- cardine.

HIeien was in- formed of the opportunity. After a lung and tearful dellbera. lion, feeling incompetent to go out into the world and make a living, she deckled to go out to Mr. Barnackel. 1f he was very terrible she might com- tait suicide. The matron approved of her resolution, far she was comely, and the good woman feared that with her Inexperience she might fall a vic- tim to some designing person. \1r. Barnackel was informed that there was a young n omen ready to accept his proposition, and he sent money for her journey. The heart broken girl nerved herself to her fate and one afternoon alighted at a rail- way station at the village near which his farm was located, A young farm- er with a whip In his hand approached her and asked it she was the young woman who was to marry Mr. Bar- nackel. - "I am," was the reply. "That is, if he isn't an ogre," The young mal smiled. [Ifs smile was very winning. "I have a team here," be said. "1'11 drive you to the farm," When seated in the wagon and he bad said "get up" to the horses Helen expected that he would say something to her. I1e did not. Ile seemed to be thinking, "What kind of a looking man is Mr. Barnackel?" she asked. Now, the young man was George Ba•uackel, nephew of the man who had written for n wife. The uncle was arty years old, hes face looked nice a ball of strings, his hair was red, and he was just too unlovely for any- thing. At any rate, that is the way the daughter of one of the neighboring farmers put it. In feet, be was ex- actly what Helen had conceived him to be, judging from his name. He must also have been a fool or he would never have sent his good look- ing nephew for a young girl he ex- pected to make his wife. Upon Hel- en's inquiry George turned his face to- ward her, displaying a set of regular white teeth by smiling, and :asked: "Suppose I should tell you that he is a disagreeable old codger and always cross as a bear. What would 3roe do?" "I would jump inlo the river—that is, if there is one near by." There was a prolonged silence, at the end of which the young man said: "And what would you say if 1 told you that I am Mr. Barnackel?" Helens heart went up into her throat. She matte eo reply to the question, but sit: sidled nearer to her rotupanion. Presently there cane a subdued voice: "Are you Mr. Barnackel?" "1 am" Her t'ttce was hent low. Ile leaned lower bimself and looked tip into it. IIe saw what ho took to be n look 01 pleasure, Perhaps it was relief. no reins were in his right hand. Site was sitting, at bis left. He put his left arm about her waist She looked tip nt hits, her eyes wet, a suspicion of a smile 00 her lips. He kissed them, "How far is it to the farm?" was the next thing said. "Abort three mil's." George drove over six miles, which seemed litre tb"no to Helen, then stop- ped tut a farmhouse. "Wait in the wagon," ha said. "while I go in to tell wy mother and sister you're here. They don't know you're couingl' Leaving the reins in her hands, he went into the hoose. Ile was gone a long while. Helen sale the face of an elderly woman surveying her from a window, then a younger one doing the same. "Oh, dear," she said, "I hope they're not going to make him send me back!" Presently a door opened and the two women canto out, the elder in advance. She welcomed IIelen, though she seem- ed constrained, Leading her into tete house, the younger woman showed her to a chamber ppstairs and, shutting the door bellied them, took her in her arms, exclaiming: "You poor child!" "Why am T to be so pitied?" asked Helen, surprised. ,You're net. It's all right. We'll matte you Tory happy. My brother IS not the 5tr. Barnackel you cattle out hero to marry, That ono is my uncle, a crusty old ratan who ivotTcl not do for you at all, Being rheumatic, he asked George to drive you from the station to .his farm, George .wants you him- self. Mother has given her consent, and yon aro to be mnrrtod—Wet is, 11 yotl wish to marry George—at once." Helen naked if haste were necessary, George replied to this that his bride belonged to his uncle, was expected by his uncle and unless the Isnot were tied there wan no knowing what be would do In tlto metier, 'pito chant.° of be• tug turned over to the old oerteudgeon so terrified Helen that she was only too land to ho married at once, The ,rrcdling took place that evening, The delight of feeling the waves break over us, coupled with the fun' and jollity of the bccac'n, makes bath- ing the most popular feature of the seaside holiday. So keen is our en- joyment that we are apt to forget that bathing also has its dangers, Provided that we bathe with judg- ment, it le, of course, tn. invigorating as it is enjoyable. Thar eonetnntly moving salt water stimulates tit kin and acts as a general ':one•. Swim- ming, moreover, is an exercise sec- ond to none. But all these good effects, both mental and bodily, will be nullified for the treat majority "t' us if the bathe is either too prolonged or tak- en at an injudicious hour. Of course, there are exceptionally robust in- dividuate who can pratti;° Pea bath- ing with impunity, but even they would derive greater benefit by not overdoing it. The best time to bathe is undoub- tedly about 11 o'clock in the morn- ing. Not only has the temnrature of the body then reached normal af- ter its early -morning fall, but also the temperature of the air is usually not far from its maximum. Further, our bodily strength has been forti- fied by breakfast, which is by then sufficiently digested. Most authorities heartily condemn the practice 3f early -mooing bath- ing as calculated to upset even the strongest. The eerier bathers enters the water when his temperature and vitality are low, and, in additio:, he frequently has to walk some distance on an empty stomach and to undress in the cold air. Each bather can best find out for himself what is the correct length of time for hint to stny in the water. Once having determined this, he should avoid being led astray by stronger companions. Five mirutere will be enough for some; a _general average is fifteen to twenty minutes: and- half an hour is sufficient for the strongest. Nothing is gained by talc• ing more than one bathe a (lay. It is quite safe for children to paddle about in the shallots water'• but walling waist deep for a con• siderable time is harmful to ':hon, PROPER WASHING ADDS LIFE While the washing of a car is sim- ile, yet the finish of many :t fine automobile has boon dulled and scratched by rtreleesnoes art w•asiring.

Do sure that the water runs freely through the sponge to carry away the dirt, Wash the sponge frequent- ly and use it gently.

I'ht,11,t 171 Str:ttf"rd i,".?l'Ot1TAN'g O S:t'7RLS IN SPRING The most critical eerie,' for a enlony of bees is during the early months of spring, for it is at this time that the colony is weakest in numbers, the bees lcrw, :.t in vitality and the food supply running short. Furthermore, it is dur,ng this period that the greatest amount of broad must be neared if the colony is to be- C0/110 a profitable honey-producer,l During the winter months, bees nerd stores for the, prolongation of life only, but in the spring food is need- ed to feed the oncoming generations. Brood rearing usually tarts during the month of March in outdoor win- 1 tered colonies and during April in cellar wintered colonies, and from then on the consumption of stores in- creases very rapidly. It has been c,stirnated that one eom}r of stores (six pounds) is required to produce a comb of brood and it requires ap- proximately seventeen combs of brood to produce a force of 100,000 bee., which represent e real strong colony. It is quite apparent then that food is an import•:tnt facto: dur- ing the spring brood rearing period. The early sources or nectar supply a certain proportion of food require eel but these sources are entirely in- adequate for the maintenance of the colony even though weather condi- tions are ideal for nectar secretion and gathering, therefore, a certain amount must be supplied by the bee- keeper. No colony should hove kis than fifteen pounds of ava'labiu stores within the colony at any time during this period. Any shortage of stores will cause a reduction in the amount of brood roared and the lat- ter will cease altogether long before starvation point is reached. The best food for bees during the spring, of course, is honey, butsobers) this is not available, sugar syrup should be given. Never feed the ;.tees hum un- known sources, as disetcse may be in- troduced by doing so. HE WAS CURIOUS She: "My father gives nm a dollar every birthday, I now have 10."
