R�mi�a�ir,¢s of B�Veg�V A Column Prepared Especially for Women— But Not Forbidden to Men YOUNG APRIL By Lelia Mitchell Thornton in The New .Outlook The sunbeams call to the sleeping clover, 'Neuter is ended—winteris over; And all the indolent little flowers Are pelted awake' by the soft spring showers; Lily wird primrose and pussy willow, Violets; deep in their grass -green ell- ]ow, Croeus and tulip and hyacinth, too, . • Come peeping, scampering, hurrying through, At the call of the rain, at the call; of the sun, For the days of the snow and the cold are done. The shy narcissus is eagerly growing It heard the sound of the south wind blowing; • And cherry blossoms are all elate, .Sending the message: We wait. We •wait. Deepart the forest the green leaves tremble, Down by the brook the ferns assent- ble, For they have waited, and listened they knew That the longest winter is some time through. And always springtime calls to the flowers In warmth of sunshine and patter of showers. iib**• And again it is gardening time, at least, it is time to be thinking of gardens and gardening. And isn't the spring a glorious tinter, ' To' be sure, spring brings a lot of work, and especially for the house- keeper. For the spring sunshine does show up all the dust and grime which accumulates during the winter and makes every real housekeeper -want to turn everything in the house over, take it outside into the sunshine and dust it off. • It takes a woman to understand these things, of course. A man can- not see why a comfortable home has to be turned topsy-turvey every spring and everything in Pb tossed as bout and shaken up.

Edited by GRANT FLEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary HAEMORRHOIDS Haemorrhoids are dilated veins at the orifice of the rectum. They may be external, or internal, or a eons- bination . o3 both. , The internal aro covered by the mucous membrane which lines the bowel, while the ex- ternal:are covered by skin. Haemorrhoids may cause consid- • erable.discmfort, aad for that ma- son, they are of importance. The most common symptom' is bleeding. Besides being the most common symp- tom, it is by far the most important because bleeding isalso a common early symptom of cancer` of the rem- • tum. Many e life is lost: needlessly ow- ing to neglect as regards the passage of blood from the rectum, the indi- vidual thinking this to be -due tor ' haetnorrhoihs. It is quite possible for the two conditions to exist at • the same time in the same patient, :so it is obviously important never to • neglect any bleeding, no •matter how slight, from the rectum. .Sorenss, sometimes itching and • perhaps an aching sensation are of- ten experienced with haemorrhoids. 'Real pain usually means a compiica- tion such as a fissure (tear) ulcer or rupture of a small vein forming_ a tender external tumour under the skin. ,Internal haemorrhoids tend to prolapse or protrude, but they can usually be pushed 'back by gentle g presseme. The saute is'to be "found in any ing cleaning has "to be done and that the spring• is the logical time to do it. The wise %woman, however, will disturb her family just as little as she possibly can clueing this uphea- val. She knows, if she has been at all observant, that the menfolk clo not understand this urge on her part at all, cannot see the need of it, in fact. So she, baying evolved for herself a philosophy of life which. means as little stirring up of opposition as possible, she just goes about her work as quietly as she can. ;She does one room at a tiane; she asks, very casually, when it is necessary, for any help in -moving heavy pieces of furniture; she doesn't try to.do too much work all at 'a 'stretch, so -using 'up' all her .surplus energy, and she provides for the serving of adequate and tasty meals during all the time, not only go that her men folk may have as -little as possible to complain about, but also that she may be sufficiently nourished and sustained as she is doing all this extra work. If the housewife can have all the help she needs, of course, the matter of the spring cleaning is very much simplified. She can plan her cam- paign. so as to interfere as little as possible with the daily routine. But when she has most of this extra work to do with but one pair of hands', and especially if the routine takes. most of her tinne, anyway, she will have to plan careafe:ay and work hbi plan more carefully still, if she is not to unduly exhaust herself, weary her household and end up with a whole household with frayed nerves and ir- ritable tempers. .And it is really a sad thing if the. lovely spring season is wasted in this way, isn't ;it? Personally, I should !suggest that every woman have a bit of a flower garden to tend. It has a wonderfully soothingeffect upon overwraught nerves. One woman of niy aequain tante who had a lovely garden once told me that if -she were worked up or out of sorts about anything and went out into the garden for a while it did wonders for her. To see things growing, to assist them in the strug- gle, to be able to cut some bloom from one's cion garden and carry it to a friend, these are some of the greatest things to accomplish while down on this old earth. If you do not believe me, 'try it yourself and find out the joy of it.

Governor- General has inaugurated • the King Geoege V Jubilee Dancer Fund in Canada: The citizens of 'every Pro- wince in this• great Dominion are be- ing invited to assist in bringing a- bout the ultimate eon:mest •of a deadly, ' relentfes's enemy whose sha- dow falls across all our lives• --+cancer•: I need riot, say how eagerly I seize this opportunity to appeal to . the eitixens of Onbalio to do all ,they can to make this Jubilee year of His Ma- jestx's'aceession to the throne forever glorious, forever a, year of grace, memorable for all time as the yeax. when we all, - in massed formation, began a well-planned attack upon cancer—the most elusive, the most secretive and the most inexorably cruel of mankind's ,enemies. F am confident that • only thus shall victory be.ours. Only by such concerted ac - elan can medical science 'be aided in -cresting from this dread disease its last secret—the secret which, once known, will rib cancer of its terror. How supremely appropriate it is that such a campaign as this should mark the celebration of tile comple- tion of twenty-five years of His Ma- jesty's beneficial reign. They have been the most eventful years in all ,history. Never in a similar period of time have the peoples of the earth witnessed a succession of epoch- al 'events so bewildering in their number, eemnin l otic i , so s gycha ntheir effect se world -encompassing and world ehanging. Wear has all but de - eh -elated a whole generaton of the youth of the Western world. Nations have been made, unmade and remade. Institutions have fallen; on their ruins other .institutions, other modes of life, atter forms of Government have been insecurely erected. Sci- ence Inc poured into the markets of the world the fruits -af mechanical invention and research only to find that these apparent blessings have led to • dislocation and to disorder that has awakened, in the hearts of millions, resentment and despair rather than gratitude and hope, Yet, through every storm, against every adverse wind,. the ship of State of the British Empire, has sail- ed 'a steady, unswerving course. A- midst all the turbulence it has kept a steady keel. At the head of the great Commonwealth of Nations 11Is Majesty the King, by his integrity, his steadfastness, his fidelity to the highest ideals of constitutional sov- ereignty,'and by bis deep sympathet- ic understanding of the aims and purposes and difficulties' of his sub- jects has endeared himself to them. With Her Gracious Majesty the Queen he has exerted a tremendous power hi maintaining that cohesion, that solidarity and that free unity within the. Empire .without which no true progress is ever possible. It is now possible for citizens of Ontario onceagain to give expression to that unity. The terrible annual toll mincer exacts in this Province must be checked. Each year four thousand people die of Cancer in On- tario and for every one that dies there are usually three more who are suffering from this painful, malig- nant disease. That makes 12,000 cases of cancer annually, in Ontario, The ratio of deaths from cancer Inc increased from 70.9 in 1914 to 114.7 in 1933—an increase of 43.9. We may well be stunned by such figures and will at once ask oursel- ves what can be clone about it. - The 'results obtained today in the treatment • of cancer are so very much better than formerly that those who notice a lump or bave unusual symp- toms "should not be deterred front Consulting a doctor because of the fear that he will diagnose their case as cancer. In early cases surgery is retell the best form of treatment, either alone or 10 combination with. X-ray and radium. In- certain reglans, 'hoses ever, X-ray or radium is preferred and good results are obtained. Even in late: cases the use'. of X-ray -'or radium - will relieve pain and delay the inevitable. The crying need le for mare re- search, snare institutions with facil- ities for! the scientist in his great, work of investigating the cause of cancer and the discovery pf a spec- ific for its cure. There must be ea "specific"' beet ° the.: cause -- of cancer". must first be discovered by exact, painstaking medical research.'. This research will only be possible if we all help' to . provide . the necessary funds. When this fund is estahiishee it will enable Canada to take her Mace with, her sister Dominions, thug snaking the campaign :inaugurated in London twelve years ago a truly British Campaign .against Cancer in its scope. However, I should make it clear that all money collected will be .spent in this country.. - I appeal to all citizens of this Province to contribute $1.00 or more to the King George V. Silver Jubilee Cancer Fund for Canada. Will you please send your contri- bution' direct to Lady Bessborough, who will acknowledge it.

This is not, as you might think, a patent -medicine seller's speil. It's+ just to remind you,. that the open season for sunlight has commenced and that .sunlight is the greatest "ei:patent" medicine in the world, even though it- is -only' recently that we have begun to realize just how important it - The you knew that when sunlight falls upon your skin it makes a kind of food which your body needs very badly? This "food" is known as Vitamin D. You've probably heard about Vitamin D because a great deal hes been written and talked about It during recent years. The reason why people take cod liver ,oil is that it is rich in Vitamin D but cod liver oil is only a substitute for sunlight. The vitamin is produced in :the cod's liver by the action of sunlight and you. get it second-hand. It is much better to get it first hand which in Canada one can do most easilyin the summer time. Sunlight when it -falls upon your ekin produces a certain chemi- cal reaction and this reaction pro- duces Vitamin' D. Now the moral of this article is a very simple one. Get -out intothe sunlight as much as you can this smut - mer and get your full than of this greatest of all medicines. It is pos- sibly even more important that chiI- dren should do so than grown-ups because some authorities .claim that in this northern climate almost an children have at least a touch at some time in their lives of the dis- ease known as rickets'. This disease is caused by lack of Vitamin D which the system needs sin building good strong shapely bones. There is one very important thing to remember however. If the suns light is to effect your skin as it must do to produce this health giving re- sult the rays must fall directly upon the bare sldn. Even if they pass through glass or the lightest of cloth- ing the invisible rays which produce Vitamin D aro filtered and do not reach the skin. At the same time one must be careful in taking sun baths to go easy at first; otherwise that painful and well known phenomenon sunburn, will result, bet while taking this precaution see to it that you get out in the sun this summer as much as possible -wearing as few clothes as modesty and the local police force will permit. COURAGE Ole WOMEN ON THE FARM "There is a good ease for suggest- ing that every farmer and his family are entitled to a short holiday each year. In evidence given recently be- fore the Royal Commission on Wheat Farming in Australia many farmers spoke of the courageous support which had ,been afforded to them in their fight with adversity by their wives and daughter*, and the Com- mission feels that special reference should bo made to the part which wo- men are playing in maintaining the 'industry during the time of depres- sion. On the average their work Is harder than that of their sisters - In the city, and the activities of various organizations in the different States' of the Connnonwealth should have wider support in order that the home life of the wheat farmer can be im- proved." The above extract from the report of the Royal Commission in Australia appliles with equal) force to the woonen on Grenadian farms. BETTER LAWNS Thorough preparation of the soil before seeding: a new lawn will save much labour and disappointment at a later date. Humus is' necessary and is usually provided in the form of barnyard manure, but well rotted manure to preferred as it carries Iess weed seeds, It .is advisable to plough manure. under rather than to apply it as a top dressing. Commercial fertilisers are 'recom- mended to maintain g good sod onan established lawn. An : application of a fertilizer containing five per cent nitrogen, six per cent p .:spheric' ac- id, and c-id,and eight per sent potash, should be made just as growth commences. in spring, This may be applied' . at the rate of three ,pounds per hundred square feet. To provide additional nitrogen two applications of 'sulphate of ammonia at the rate of two pounds per hundred square foot may Ise made at intervals during the growing season. Chemical fertilizers should be applied when .the grass is dry, and if possible just previous to a rain otherwise, the lawn should b1e thoroughly watered immediately after the application. r b a rq � WN:;1 „ kNOc9ite,=feeidi,n4._CORN SYRUP L"THE FAMOUS z ENERGY F000" A' product of The CANADA STARCH CO., Limited THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing You Their .Songs --Sometime!
