CLEANLINESS
Cleanliness, which is essential to
...
ii'ealth, is sonretlting-more than a mat-
ter of aesthetics. It means cleanliness
within and without.: It includes the
removal of all waste matter produced
in the body, as well as freedom from
dirt on the outer surface of the body.
If the skin is to 'function properly,
theP ores must not be blocked; they
must be kept clean by the regular
bathing of the body.
-It is probably true, that a large
majority of people do not drink suf-
ficient water:. A glass or two of wa-
ter before breakfast . and between
meals is a habit which should bocul-
tivated. In this way, the required in-
take of water will be secured, and, in
addition, the habit will be found to
be of very real assistance in over-
coming faulty bowel elimination.
Constipation is one of the most
common complaints of the human
family. It represents self-neglect and
failure to develop a habit which can
be established if simple rules are fol-
lowed and persisted in until the reg-
ular habit is established.
The most important consideration
is the establishment of the habit. The
taking of food is a natural stimulus
-to bowel action, and, therefore, a na-
tural time for evacuation is a half -
'hour after a meal: There is some dif-
ference . of opinion as to how many
movements there should be daily, but
iher;,e should be one at least, The toil
•yet. must be visited at exactly the sante
hour every day whether or not there
is an urge to go. ,
In addition to the regular toilet ha-
-lit and the free use of water, fresh
or dried fruits : should be used regu-
larly. If the bowel is not irritated,
the -addition of food containing some.
roughage, such as cabbage, celery and
whole cereals, may help.
It is also necessary that the individ-
ual exercise daily. Exercises which
bring*into playthe_abdominal,muscles
are 'useful. A minimum of daily ex-
ercise may be considered, such is an
hour's walk. '
The care of the teeth and hands
are special points of personal clean-
liness. The regular proper use of the
tooth-brush"to free the teeth of food
particles and to masage the gums is
required. 'The thorough washing of
the hands- before preparing or eating
food is one of the simplest:and most
practical measures in preventing the
spread of cornxnunicale diseases. _-

CORN BORER ACT
At a recent conference at London
of the corn borer inspectors and the
Provincial Entomologist, it was stat-
ed that many farmers were under the
impression that because the Borer had
been reduced in most of the counties
under the Act, it was no longer a
serious menace, and therefore the Act
would not be strictly enforced this
year. If this statement was correct
it is unfortunate and very misleading.
As stated by Professor L. Caesar,
Provincial Entomologist, the Borer is
just as dangerous an insect today as
it ever was and all it needs to enable
it to play, havoc with our corn is to
be given a chance such as it would
have if the Corn Boer Act was not.
enforced. Corn growers in Ontario
will have to becomeaccustomed to
the fact that cleaning tip corn rem-
nants thoroughly each spring will
henceforth be a regular part of farm
operations. There is no other known.
waycombating of c bA the borer. Even in
g t
Europe this is the only way of pre-
venting heavy losses.
The Corn Borer Act will be enforc-
ed this year as in former years. Ev-
eryman will be required
to clean up
the corn remnants on his property ei-
ther by gathering or burning them or
by ploughing them under andnot
dragging then stip later. The Corn
Borer inspector for Huron County,
Mr. 0. Ginn states that the clean up
in the•past year has been satisfactory.
The sane procedure must be follow-
ed this year and in future years. Non
enforcement of the Act would be the`
undoing of all accomplished so far in
the control of this pest and would
soon result in the ruin of the hopes
of all to whom corn is a valuable
crop.

Development, of
Industries,
Industry is rapidly moving from
the north to the eolith of England.
New factories are spiingiug up round
about London especially, and the in-
flux of people from ether parts of the
country is co -incident with the speeclY
development of places on the iriege
of the metropolis.
More and more trains, and more
and more motor omnibuses are re-
quired to carry the ever-increasiug.
numbers of workers who live in new-
ly -developed districts in Kent apd
Surrey. -
Little communities beyond the
larger southern suburbs whish a
short time ago had a lite quite apart
from London are quickly becoming
merged into 'the region of Greater
London. Hamlets aro • growing new
towns, fields are yiel,l.rg crops of
houses, and ` cart -track . aro blossom-
ing into. well -made roads.
\Electric and underground 'trains,
and motor -omnibuses have done, and
ars: still doing, the pioneerin;, work;
where they have led, builders and
shopkeepers and home -seekers have°
followed. •
Atypical example of the urbaniz-
ation of rural districts is Morden, the
southern extremity of the city and
south London section of the' under-
ground railways. Only three years
ago there was little else there but
fields: Now it is on the' way to be-
coming a town.
This transformation may be said to
have begun when, in 1926, the city
and south London line was extended
to Morden, seven new stationsbeing
opened: Balham, Clapham South,
Trinity Road, Tooting' Broadway,
Collier's Wood, South Wimbledon,
and Morden, the terminus.
This extension opened up not only
the Mordendistrict, but also new
ways to other growing places, includ-
ing Wallington, Carshalton, Sutton,
Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, Leatherhead,
Box Hill, and Dorking.
The London General Omnibus Co.
is running frequent services to all
these places from Morden under-
ground station.
An official of. the 'Underground
Railway Co. told a London Daily Mail'
reporter that there had been • a re-
markable growth of traffic on the
Morden extension.
In three years the number of peo-
ple 'using the extension in a month
has increased by about a million. In
a rush hour in September, 1926, six-
teen trains made up of 96 cars were
used; in a rush hour now thirty-four
trains made up of 230 cars are used.
Nearly 3,000,000 people were carried
on it in' one month,
The -number of passengers carried
on the omnibusesto and from Mor-
den underground station was in Sep-
tember,
ep
tember, 1926, on an average, 5,000
daily; now it is nearly 18,000.

INDIAN IP)ti,T R ROI YPIES,
f)omiution Archaeolog'st Says Boa
Carvhrgs Are In Danger,
The Dominion areleteoleglst, Ot-
tawa, says that the petroglyphs oz
monumental Indian rock carvings of
Canada are threatened by at least
nine different t klnfea of daknget' of mu-
tilation and complete destruction,
Some have already been inf ured, but
all could be east In cement and then
the casts would serve, not only for
study, photographing, sketching,
aiexhibition
p utizxg and 'ortt of doors
in Dominionparks and other pubile
places, but also ae a, scientific record
exactly like the original in eases
where the originals become damaged
or, destroyed. The casts can be placed
where people can easily see them, as
in the parks at Banft or Jasper, while
many of tbe originals are in out-of-
the-way and almost inaccessible
places.
The dangers threatening the petro-
glyphs are as, follows:
1. People carve initials, t ars, pi,c
turea
and obscene marks among and on
the petroglyphs. There is a provincial
law punishing this action, but in .out-
of -the -way places the perpetrators
are seldom if ever caught,
2. Log booms are fastened to iron
stakes placed in the rocks among the
petroglyphs.
3. Horse trails cross them. .
4.' The aide and waves lave them
at six localities.
5. 'A stream now flows over them
at six localities.
6. Boulders aro rolled over them
by the surf in at least six localities.
7. Driftwood is rolled over them
by the sea in at least seven localities,
8. A logging railroad will prob-
ably be built over the largest petro -
glyph known in Canada, since to log a
valley,.the only pass is between a 70 -
foot canon and a mountain where the
carvings occur.
9. A water pipe has been laid on
one of the most romantic of them,
obscuring at least part of it.
10. Oamp fires are built on :petre-
glyphs because local people who sel-
dom regard the carvings as more than
bare rock, have been taught to build
camp fires where the fire. cannot
spread, and to put them out' on leav-
ing. They throw water on the fire
'and the hot stone is cracked and the
petroglyphs ruined._
Canada has few monuments, anti-
quities, castles or ruins, compared
with Ireland, Italy, Spain, England,
Greece and Egypt, says the archaeo-
logist. What she has are valuable as
tourist attractions and so are money-
makers for Canada—not to mention
the artistic and scientific value.
OUR NAVY.
Costs Less Than Two Million Dollars
a Year.
The expenses of the Royal'Cana-
dian Navy ran to $1,886,487.65 dur-
ing the .fiscal year ending March 31,
1929, according to figures published
in the annual report issued at Ottawa
by the Department of National
Defence.
The total strength of the navy dur-
ing the year was 94 officers and 616
men. The strength of the Royal Can-
adian Naval Reserve was 35 officers
and 141 men, The Royal Canadian
Naval Volunteer ,Reserve at the end
of the fiscal year had a strength of
62 officers and 795 men.
In a brief summary, Commodore
Walter Hose, R.C.N., chief of naval
staff, says, in part:.
The naval val
a service vi E
ce o Canada has
now reached a stage, of development.
which has effectively confirmed its
position inthe defence schemes of
the Dominion. The co-ordination in
staff work with the Militia and Air
Force is largely responsible, The in-
clusion of all three forces in the one
department, and the attendance of
officers now on headquarter staff, at
the Imperial Defence College, have
undoubtedly been contributory fac-
tors of great importance to this co-
ordination. The granting to officers
and men of the Royal Canadian Navy
of a service pension has had a most
beneficial effect on the personnel.
"The reserve forces, which were
organized in 1923, are well advanced
through the organization stage, and
are takitng their place in the defence
forces of Canada fn the capacity of
ully trained reserves. The placing of
contracts for the construction of two
new destroyers else marks a definite
advenge, as heretofore no new fillips
have been commissioned for service
in the Royal Canadian Navy."
The report mentions, elsewhere,.
that the cost of these two new ships,
the Saguenay and the Skeena, which
are to be delivered in 1931, will be
$3,350,000, including armament.

It does not . require much critical
skill to 'discover' how greatly Dr.
Watts the writer of this version of
the Twenty-third Psalm was indebted
to George Herbert's version, publish-
ed last week, Mr. Herbert died in
1633. Isaac Watts was born in 1674
and died in 1748, and he publihsed
this hymn in his "Psalms of David,"
1719. It is not at . all unusual for
hymn-writersto draw upon previous
writers for lines, rhymes and ideas,
and Watts wasrather given to that
practice.
That he was ever satisfied with his
attempts to translate David's poem
into English verse is to be doubted.
He' made at least three distinct at-
tempts at it, of which this one would
be considered the best by most peo-
ple. It has this blemish that it omits
the shepherd King's practical allusion
to the tools of his'trade, the guiding
and chastening rod .and the helpful
staff, or crook. Another of Dr. Watt's
versions has the same omission, al-
though that has become almost as pop..
alar with compilers of church hymn -
ails as . he ant; eructed' above.. Th
first verse of this other one runs as
follows r
"My Shepherd swill supply my need,
Jehovah is His name,
In pastures fresh 1de makes we feed,
Beside the living stream,"
I,"he third less well known of Pr,
Watt's 'versions' owes something to
Thoinas Sternbold, groom' of tile
robe to King :Heury'V111, who was
largely responsible for the, original
of what is known as the Old Version
of the Pseltits of David, they edition
containing Sternbold's hymn "My
Shepherd is the living Lord," being
Published in 15.61. A good man this
court official whose song was often
made sore by the obscene and frivol-
our songs of the courtiers of both
sexes, and set to work' to counteract
them by giving the young people
something better to sing. With that
end in view he adopted theballad
ba ad
measure for his version of the Psalms
of David and sang them himself .to
such tunes as he could reach. Beim
noticed by the king and others his
verses were soon taken up and Stern-
bold was encouraged to continue his
good world', much- of which is - to be
found in the "New Version," and in
the hymnals now in use.
Dr. Watts, loyal to his evangelistic
principles converts Sternbold's trans-
lation of the old Hebrew Psalm into
a New Testament hymn. Quite legiti-
mate this, remembering how our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ adopted Da-
vid s
a-vid's pretty figure, of the shepherd
and his flock, to Himself and His re-
deemed in one of His most comfort-
ing sermons: "I . atn the good shep-
herd,
1
herd, the shepherd giveth His life for
the sheep." Dr. Watts trade Stern-
bold's opening lines to read:
"My Shepherd is the living Lord;
Now shall my wants be well supplied.
His providence and holy word
Become my safety ; and my guide.
He does not neglect the shepherd's
toolsin this version, the fifth of its
eight verses reading:--
"Amidst
eading;—"Amidst the darkness and the deep
Thou are my comfoi t and my stay;
Thy staff supports my feeble steps,
Thy rod directs my doubtful way.."
The next sixth verse smacks, how-
ever, of the Old Testament rigors ra-
ther than, of the loving mercy of the
New Testament:—

Does Man Settle
Up Or Down
1111311411112111111111111111111111111111111
When man reaches that stage in his existence where the
urge for "home" dominates his thoughts he is suffering the first
stages of the "settliing down" process.. He begins planning a house
and all thatoes with' it
g, and realizes that before he can, settle down
and become a' Solid Citizen he must "settle up."
Now this "settling up" business should be indulged in at regu-
lar
intervals
by most of us. There's always some little account that
If not paid promptly when notice is sent, will be allowed to stand
indefinitely. One of the most unfortunate in this respect is the sub-
scription to the newspaper. The amount is small and comes due
but once a year; so it is easily forgotten. But when a thousand or
two subscribers "forget," the publisher is in a bad way and immed-
iately has to put on pressure to collect the two dollar accounts.
There is one sure way of keeping "settled up" with your
newspaper—watch the label every week. After your name the date
on which your subscription experies is printed plainly. Pay it
promptly when it comes due. Make sure of it now.
