It has become a sort of journalistic prayer,. chain, and will no doubt go marching on into hundreds of thousands of hearts. It is . as follows: MY CREED.

Apart from the fact that it materially lowers the cost of living to produce the vegetables used in the farm home, an unlimited supply of fresh succulent vegetables have ail very direct bearing on the general health of the household. There is no mystery in the making of a garden, consequently no reason why all the vegetables used should be bought in the country store. The preparation of the land can be done largely with a single furrow plow and a .cultivator. The size of the garden will naturally depend "on the number of mouths to feed," but we would suggest a half acre plot as a standard on the average 'farm. The plot chosen should be as conveniently situated as possible pro- vided a well drained and suitable soil ,1s obtainable near the' house. The soil must be thoroughly well prepared mo as to .get as good a seed bed as possible for the small seeds, In plau- ning the arrangement of the garden crops always try to have the rows so planted that at least a large part Of the cultivation can be done with a horse and cultivator. Crops such as rhubarb and asparagus should be kept separate from beans, peas, car- rots, cabbages, etc. It is also advis- able for the same reason, to keep cucumbers, marrows and other vine crops by themselves. Place the gar- den plot where the growing vegetables will suffer least from the prevailing winds and if necessary plant wind- breaks so that they will be effective in coming seasons. Back to the Bicycle A goodly proportion of my friends who have v indulged in motoring, says an English cycling enthusiast, have decided to give up the use of the self- propelled vehicle and return to the bicycle. Naturally, one can only know of a very limited number of such cases in the circle of one's friends, but the rather remarkable percentage in my case leads me to suppose that the total numbers will be quite formidable. I am glad of it, not merely because of the practical economy involved, but also from the fact' that I sincerely t y believ e in many cases the cult of the motor has been largely traceable to novelty, and not so much to its pleasure. Polishing Motor Bodies There are some good body polishes on the .market for restoring lost lustre and providing they come from a re- pftable concern, they may.safely be used on the automobile. No polish will restore the finish in one appli- cation. Their use has to be repeated, until finally the spots and dull places will disappear, if they are, not too deep I' 1 • iy HARRY GORDON SELFRIDGE famous merchant of London and New York, who came out strongly for closer Anglo-American union of ideas and effort.

LIVING WINDBREAKS INTEREST. RyAILWAYS Railways Experiment With Substltute of Trees For Portable SnoW Fences—Canada's Problem The difficulties of "the snow crop" have been faced by our Canadian rail- roads and the planting of trees as a permanent solution for snow troubles has been recognized for some years. The Intercolonial Rallway performed some windbreak work but did not maintain the plantations.' The Can- adian Pacific en their western. lines have .planted windbreaks, extensively, and similarwork on tbe eastern lines will be commenced. It is understood Also that the Canadian Northern have been investigating the matter. The practice on Canadian Pacific western lines has been to use willow andbroad leaved species which have the ad- vantage of speedy growth. It may be that spruce or other conifers will be found useful for the purpose. This is a point which the experiments thus far have not successfully determined. Those most closely interested in harvesting the snow' crop' -aside from a few over -zealous men—are the rail- roads. There is always a certain, amount which shows a tendency to collect in the railroad cuts or on tbe prairies. The railroad teen are In- terested incerrslling that snow before it gots into the cut. They are alt convinced that It must be corralled but the best method of doing it is still in doubt. It was to discuss this important question that the representative of eight railroads and of the College of Forestry met. The live snow fence was the object of discussion. For many years these railroads have heed patiently building portable board fences at a cost of about $3,50 per rod, laboriouslydistributing along the cuts every fall and collecting them every spring at a further cost of at least fifteen cents per rod, and with the full understanding that a new set of panels would have to be construct- ed at least every five years. And even at that the results have not always been satisfactory. Many of the roads have tired of feeding this financial leak and are at- tempting to replace this temporary and expensive fence system with a permanent snowbreak of trees and shrubs planted along the right of way. It is pioneer work along this line, and subject to all the derision and doubts that such 1;ew ideas are betr to. Some are skeptical, some confident, but all of them who have taken up the work are spending considerable money on It. Naturally much of the work is of an experimental character because no one knows just what kind of a snow - break will be most effective; what species to use, how to place them or how to plant them.

HEROES OF ANZAC Tribute to the Noble Dead on the Gallipoli Peninsula The solemn beauty of Westminster Abbey, which echoes with the story of our past, is a fitting slirine in which to commemorate the, noble "An- zac" dead.

TRY THE BRAND NEW BROILER Once Civilization Demanded a Skinned Dimetrodon Turned on a Stick, but Now. We Must Depend Upon Gas Ranges and Smoky Drip Pans. Was it in the stone age that the caveman discovered the fine art of broiling? Certain it is that the original rotisserie of Adam -Eve, Inc., was con- ducted ,Iv on-ducted,Iv ithout pan or fork and con-� listed SF a skinned dimetrodon broiled over a stick. Even centuries later the "spit" was the chief form of cooking equipment; and obese barons lounged at the board while waiting for their serving of broiled ox. But in modern times the broiling seems to have fallen into disrepute. The housewife of today hetes to wash a broiler or her gas stove must be fitted with a special "broiler," and to cook by this method over either oil or open coat has disadvantages. And yet, perhaps no one method serves to cook good meat in such a perfect manner. The constant turning of the meat be- fore the flame, so that each side is evenly browned and seared and the juice is retained, a crisp crustresults— ah, what is to equal a piece of meat roti?

Westervelt, Principal hand and broiling must be done in the double wire rack over a glowing flame, while the fat drops into the coal only to sputter up and crackle and fill the kitchen with smoke—then broiling does not seem to be worth the trouble. Yet it ,Ls too good a method of preparing meat to be abandoned because of its unpleasant features. The thing is to do away with the unpleasant features as much as possible: This can be done if the gas stove is fitted with a regular small, convenient' broiler with drip pan. But an even better plan for a gas stove, a coal range or even oil is to use one of the newest articles on the market -a broil- er plate -a small device made of beavy iron, corrugated, with a small hole- at one end for the escape- of juice. It is fitted with a bale handle and ,is quite Light to use.The plate can be heated, over any fla'ine and -the meat laid on it. In other words, the broiling goes on over the flame instead, of under it, as in the usual broilers, ' with the result that the food is less browned and bet- ter tasting, because 3t does not come in contact with the odor of the flame. No drip pan is needed under it, but a small tin cover can be put under the hole to collectthe fat. Since the meat juices are retained by the broiling method, meat so cook- ed is particularly excellent for children or invalids, There -is less chance for the food elements to escape, less chance of richness, since so much of the fat is broiled away and only the best of the lean meat and its juices are retained. The secret of broiling is in the quicknesswithwhich it is done —just the delicious, rare quality which no other method produces. Avant with the frying pant And in its place the broiler plate.

"How is that?" he asked, indig- nantly. "Why," said the other, "when I was in Wales a pedigree of a particu- lar family was shown to me which filled more than five large parchment skins, and near the middle of it was a note in the margin: "About this time the world was created.' " Was Caused By Change of Diet, Etc. Diarrhoea arises from many causes such as, change of diet, change of water, change of climate, catching cold, the eating of tiniipe fruits, or anything that will cause or induce an excess of bile, On the first sign of any looseness of the bowels it should not be neglected, but should be looked after inunediately, for if not diarrhoea, dysentery or some other serious bowel complaint may ensue. Mr. Geo, Smith, Victoria, B.C., writes: "It is five years ago since I first tried Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. I was then on a timber survey, and suf- fered greatly from diarrhoea, caused by change of diet, ete. A friend in the party gave me a few doses which gave me great relief, Since then I have been in survey work, and would as soon think of starting out on a trip without my compass and blankets as without my supply of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry; which I consider the woods- 'man's best friend." Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw- , berry has been on the market for the past seventy years, and is universally Itiown as a positive cure for all complaints arising from any looseness of the bowels. When you ask for "Dr. Fowler's" be etre you receive what you ask for as there are many rank imitations of this sterling remedy placed on the market to try and fool the unsuspecting public.
