Don't Wait and Wish
Work Now and - , Have
When drastic regulations for the rationing
of food come into effect . (and such an
Order in Council may be made very early
next Fall) you will wish then, that you
had a crop of nice vegetables ready to
take off your garden or nearby piece of
vacant land that you could have cultivated
if you had really wanted to.
Well, all we say is -
Don't Wait and -Wish
If you have not yet decided to plant a vegetable garden make up your mind to
do so now. You will not regret it. There is still lots of time. Potatoes and beans may,
is be planted up to June 1st and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat.
For gond, practical advice upon how to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable
Garden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled: "A Vegetable Garden for
Every Home." This has been prepared by the Ontario Department of Agriculture for .
the guidance of citizens who will respond to this call for increased production.

al initiative might "do something"
was slow to occur to many1 good
people. The new order against
waste makes it abundantly clear
that the Government Inas "done
something." It has, in fact, done all
it could without creating special and
expensive machinery to do more. It
has followed the principle of local
enforcement and the decentralization
or ',authority. It has provided still
fines for those who break the law
against waste of food and it has
provided that. prosecutions be under-
taken by local officers. Thus, if the
municipal,health inspector or any
municipal officer. discovers waste in a
local cold storage warehouse, he lays
the charge before a police magistrate
or two Justices of the peace and, se-
curing a. eonyiction, secures one-half
the fine for his municlipalit)t. Sim
ilarly in the case of a provincial of -
(leer securing a conviction, The pen-
alties are fairly still ones. The fines
being limited to amounts between
8100 and $1,000 with the alternative
of imprisonment up to three months.
If circumstances warrant it, and
wastefulness by neglect be flagrant,
both fine and imprisonment may be
Imposed.
Further, if local authorities learn
that food is being .held when it
should he sold for tea): of spoiling,
they have only to notify the Canada
Food Board. The Board is in • its
turn, authorised to notify the offend-
er that the goods nnust be immediat-
ely. sold and in default of obedience,
the Board itself may step in and
seize the goods and sell them.
Most people in this Country realize
that there is a great war waging and
that people on whom the world de-
pends are fn danger of starvation.
It is Now up to Anyone
Wilful waste of any food or food
products or waste resulting from
carelessness or from imperfect stor-
age facilities, has been matte illegal
and subject to penalties by Order of
the Canada Food Board. 13y the
terms of this Order, responsibility is
laid upon private citizens to see
that no food is lust by being kept
too long or kept in improper cull-
dilions. If a 'private citizen has
reason to believe that ra cold storage
warehouse, store, restaurant or
hotel is wasting food, in any way, lie
Inas 1)011 the opportunity of making .0
complaint to the municipal authorit-
ies with the knowledge that the law
is behind him. At a time like this,
When food is so scarce in the world
and so high in price even in Canada
where comparative abundance still
prevails, it is the positive duty' of
the private. citizen to uphoid the lt4w
against waste and to carry out the
full spirit of, the law in his own
household and in his own daily rout-
ine.
Jn the past 11 has been the habit
of many people to complain bitterly
about lack: of togulattans, in regard
to waste and to lays responsibility
upon the..tlontinion Government. The
constant remark was, "Why does not
the Government do something 7"
The cold storage 'in some far off city
like Winnipeg would develop some
imperfection mitt some thousands of
hounds of food would he spoiled, (then
Immediately would arise the time.

Purity Gives Power
There are still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed Lth
the fact that the purer. the blooS is
the greater is the power of the sys-
tem to reprove disease and the less
the liability to contract it. Persons
whose blood is in good condition aro
unuch less likely to take cold or to
be long troubled with it, or to
catch any contagious or infectious
disease, than are those whose blood
is impure and therefore impoverished
and lacking in vitality. The best
medicine for purifying the blood is
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and persons suf-
fering from any blood disease or any
want of tone in the system are urg-
ed to give th's medicine a trial. It
is especially useful at this time of
year.
