UMW The Importance of Swarm Control At one time the drill of a beekeeper was measured by the number of swarms he obtained from his apiary, but at the present time honey pro- duction is the index of success. Natural swarming is the bees' method tint~ making increase, but coming, as it idoee, just prior to or during the main 'honey flow, it greatly lessens the stor- Ing capacity of the apiary. Further- More, there is always the danger .of losing bees through absconding vs r g, swarms. After a colony has made its first p p Ee arations fors a min there f is usually a slowing -up of field work, and when the swarm issues this work (may cease altogether, for it is the field force of the colony thatgoes to make up the swarm. Sbould nectar be com- ing 'in at the rate of ten to twenty pounds per day at the time of swarm- ing it will readily be seen that this Ioss of time on the part of the bees will have an adverse effect on the crop stored. As the colony from which the swarm issues is deprived of its field bees, it can no longer be expected to gather a crop of honey. Should the beekeeper be lucky enough to capture ithe swarm and return it to the colony from which it came, the loss iyi honey will not be so great as where the swarm Is hived on a new stand, the time lost by the bees in preparing for the warming, however, means lost honey. Fortunately the bees give ample Warning when they are preparing to swarm: A thorough examination once every nine or ten days will enable the beekeeper to forestall natural swarm - Ing. The bees will, in the majority of cases, abandon their preparations if sufficient room is given them to store surplus nectar or the queen given more room in the „brood nest. Shade and ventilation during the hottest part of the summer also aid in reducing 'the tendency. For those colonies that insist on swarming, dequeening or separation of queen and brood, will atop them.

"A]Famous Authority's Rule `By Ruth Brittain Baby specialists agree nowadays, 'that during the first six months, babies !must have three ounces of fluid per pound of body weight daily. An right .pound baby, for instance, needs twen- ty4our ounces of$fluid. Later on the rule is two ounces or fluid per pound 'of body weight. The amount of fluid absorbed by a breast fed baby is best determined by weighing him before and after feeding for the WhoIe day; and it Is easily calculated for the bot- tle fell one, Then make up any de- Sciency with water. Giving baby suffielent water often aelleves his feverish, crying, upset and arestless spells. If it doesn't, give him few drops of Fletcher'a Castoria.

NEW STRENGTH FOR WEAK STOMACHS Indigestion Disappears When the Blood is Enriched The most urgent need of all who suffer from any form of indigestion is a tonic to enrich the blood. Pain and distress after eating is the way the stomach shows that it is too weak to perform the work of digesting the food i takes. t t kes, New strength is given. to weak stomachs by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because they purify and enrich the blood. This accounts for the speedy relief in stomach dis- orders that follows the use of this medicine. The value of this medicine In cases of indigestion is shown by the case of Mrs, George W. Johnson, Lequille, N.S., who says:—"I have no hesitation In recommending Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I was greatly dis- tressed with indigestion. Always after eating I suffered from pains in the stomach and other distressing symp- toms. I tried different remedies, but without getting relief. I was advised by a friend to try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, which I readily did, and I am feeling very grateful ever since to the person who gave menthe advice. The very first box helped me and before I had taken a half dozen boxes I was restored to my former good health and, all traces of this distressing trouble disappeared. It is now about a year since I took the pills, and I have not been troubled with indiges- tion since. I have takerr every occa- sion to recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to those in need of a medicine and shall continue to do so." A little booklet, "What to Eat and How to Eat", will he sent free to any- one asking for it. You can get the pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Over 1,000 Buffalo Northern Reserve Further Movement from Wainwright,. Alberta, to • • Wood Buffalo Park Early in June A further movement of between 1,000 and 1,100 yearling and two-year- old buffalo will be made from the Buffalo national park at Wainwright, Alberta, to Wood Buffale park near Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, beginning the first week in June. An officer of the North West Territories and Yukon Branch of the Department of the Interior is at present in the West •completing arrangements for the first train load of the 1928 ship- ment. The animals, which were segregated in corrals during the win- ter, inter, will be placed in specially equip- ped cars at the siding at Wainwright. They will be shipped by rail to Water- ways and then Ioaded on Meows for the water journey to a point 11 miles south of Fitzgerald, where they will be released into the park. Weekly shipments will be made until this year's quota has been transported which will be some time early in July, This year's movement will bring the total shipped to Wood Buffalo -park to over 6,600 and the number of buffalo in the park to an estimated grand total of over '9,000. Wardens report that the buffalo placed in the park since the first movement in 1925 are making satisffactory progress, • : Ready With An Answer. Pat was hired in a lumber office.

However, those who followed in their footsteps realized the beauties of the territory now included in the 5,300 square miles of Jasper National Park and in naming. the lakes, rivers and peaks of this area, -used names which were expressive of their characteristics. Thus, in the case of the lake on the shore of which was later located Jasper Park Lodge, the magnificent log cabin bungalow hotel of the Cana- dian National Railways, the name Lac Beauvert (Beautiful Green Lake) Was applied. . That no more fitting name could have been chosen for this beautiful body of water is evident to every visitor to ,Tasper. Clear, green water, reflecting the glory of the ,sur- rounding parks, greets the tourist when he strolls from his cabin at Jasper Park Lodge to the shore of this lake, and so free of vegetable matter is this icy cold water that he can easily read a news- paper which has been weighted and sunk under several feet of water. Canoes and boats are available for those who would paddle or row over its glassy surface, and a swimming tank with heated water, has been constructed on the shore of the lake. Jasper Park Lodge will he visited this year by members of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers' Association at the conclusion of their Annual Convention at the Macdonald Hotel, Edmonton, Alta. • Chihli Province "Flanders Field" of Warring China Bore Brunt of Savage War During Hostilities of 1924 Between North and South Wasbington.—Chill Province, China, scene of recent clashes between the Chinese warring factions, is the 'Flan- ders Field' of China, ' says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "During the hoe- tilities of 1924 southern Chili bore the brunt of Chinese civil war in the north and, recently Hokienfu, 100 miles south of Peking, was retaken by the northern armies after a brisk battle. The capture of Hokienfu re- establishes one of Peking's main lines of defense; which stretches across Chili from Paotingful to Tsangchow. "Without Manchuria, which sur- rounds China's northeastern corner, Chili would not only occupy the posi- tion of New England in the United States, but its similarity to Yankee America also extends to its shape, climate and topograpby. Chili even has a Cape Cod Bay formed by the Gulf of Chili with the blunted penin- sula of Shantung Province forming the cape. The Chinese province, how- ever, covers nearly twice the area of the New England States and has a fourth the population of the entire United States, most of which is con- centrated in the plain country extend- ing for about 100 miles from the coast. Nearly every square foot of this area is occupied by cities, villages, or- chards, grazing land and small farms, "Travelers in Chili • are astonished by the large production of agricultural products In the province with the crude methods and devices used by the farmers. In many sections grain is winnowed in the manner employed in Egypt in ancient times. Thresh- ing machines consist of many bladed paddles, with which the grain is beaten, or large rough roller stones drawn over the grain by plodding bul- locks. It is a common sight in the remote districts to see women squat- ting beside large stone troughs pound - Ing wheat for daily consumption, and now and then • one sees a blindfolded horse trotting around in a circle hitch- ed to a huge grinding stone. In some sections of the province the work of the women 'and the horse is done by windnii]]s with enormous blades or crude waterpower machinery. "As In Massachusetts,• many of Chihli's industrial cities are situated up the various rivers away from the sea. Tientsin, 'which, ranite text to Peking among the cities of the prow. ince, sends a large bulk of goods to Europe and the United States, Includ- ing such articles as feathers, goats' beards, fox tails, licorice, human hairs, pig bristles and lanterns. When hair- nets were more fashionable Chihli hairnets were sold In our markets. "Queer people with queer Customs are encountered in the broad expanse of Chihli Province, but, perhaps more queer, is the pr'onounciation of its name, which is not like that of the famous.

GREAT PRAISE FOR BABY'S OWN TABLETS The Dr. Williams Medicine Co. have received the following letter from Mrs. Griffith, of 21 Merchison Ave., East Hamilton, Ont., concerning her experience with Baby's Own Tablets: Dear Sirs,—I wish to thank you for the handy little booklet you sent me on the Care of Children. My baby )loy was six weeks old when I first used Baby's Own Tablets, being new to Canada, but since the first proof of their many* uses in bringing up a family, I have never been without 'them, for they are worth their weight in gold- There is no trouble in getting the little ones to take them and they often prevent an illness if taken in time. My first baby is now, at the, age of four and a half years, a picture of health, and my nine -months -old baby is also well and happy. They are both a real good sample of what Baby's Own Tablets can do, for I have never yet needed a doctor for either of them." The booklet to which Mrs. Griffith refers Is entitled "Care of the Baby," and treats with what a mother ought to know for baby's sake. A copy of the booklet will be sent free to any- one requesting same from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Women and Wool London Daily Telegraph (Cons.) : The Committee on (British) Industry and Trade report that wool is less fashionable for women s clothing than formerly, but that "the population as a whole is (at least in appearance) better clothed than before the war." With all proper respect to the suscep- tibilities of woollen manufaeturers, we must contend that our people are better clothed, not only in appearance, but in fact. No social • phenomenon of• recent years is so remarkable as the high standard of dress attained by all classes of society. Indeed, the classes are not readily distinguishable at sight. Since sumptuary laws no longer require, as they did in the Middle Ages, that women are to be dressed wording to the position of their fathers or husbands, there is often little enough to mark the out- ward difference between a marchion- ess and a milliner. Life is made up of getting and giving and forgetting and forgiving. 1, H you way 17 the v best, ask for Red Rose Orange Pekoe In clean, bright Aluminum Dominion Is Ready `1 Classified 'A�dvea'$isersaeritI 13,601' CR -10143 for Tourist Army ABY CHICKS—WE HATCH FOUR r varieties, prices 10e up, We wilt have 00,000 for July and Au.ggust.

Small Hamlets as Well as Big Centers Prepare to Meet Vacation;ls t. s De- mands mands Summer tourist travel from the United States to Canada commences gradually. By June most of the holi- day resorts are open, ready to receive the steadily increasing Sow of travel- ers from across the border. Traffic on trains running to suet spots as Minaki, in northern Ontario, Jasper Park Lodge, in Jasper National Park, Alberta, and Pictou Lodge, near Pictou„ N.S., becomes heavier. American license plates are becom- ing usual sights. Later one will see more of them, until in the eastern provinces and especially In British Columbia in the Far West, they will compose almost 40 per cent. of the total to be seen on streets and high- ways. It is expected by Montreal munici- pal authorities thatthat city will be host to nearly 2,000,000 foreign visitors this summer. The peak of this in- flux will be reached during July and August, particularly during the final six weeks of that period, From this centre it willspread west and east, diffusing itself over the countryside. Obscure hamlets will blossom forth in sudden ` splendor; inns daerted during the winter will be hard put to care for the guests clamoring at their doors; camp smoke will curl up from valleys remote and secluded for the gerater part of the year. From Halifax in the east to Vancouver in the west an air of gayety and holiday -making will prevail. • Minard's Linimentfor Insect Bites. A Cool Lad Boy Rescues Drowning Wo. man and Forgets to Tell His Mother A woman leaped into the bay re- cently at Ninety-fifth Street, Brook- lyn, N.Y., and was slowly carried out, her body bobbing up oocasionai]y and then disappearing. Loiterers raised a shout, and Edward A. Bush, fifteen - year -old Manual High School pupil, came on the run. He stripped his clothes as he ran and plunged over the sea-wall, fingertips stretched gracefully ahead. In a few seconds the boy came up within a few feet of the woman, shook his touseled head and took hold. The woman tried to grab Bush around the neck, but the boy dodged and calmly turned for the shore with bis burden. A policeman patted Bueh on the baok, but the boy trotted off. "It's no- thing," he said. "I can swim." Reporters told the news to Mrs. Edward Bush, the rescuer's mother, "He didn't tell me anything about it," she said. Her son is an excellent swimmer, indeed.

Duchess Aviator Avoids Djsaster Peeress Completes First Lap on Round "Trip to India London --Word was received that the Duchess of Bedford, 62 -year-old aviatrix who was near disaster at the start of her round trip flight to India, had completed the first hop of her journey. The Dally Express stated that a telegram had been received from Cap- tain C. D. Barnard, pilot for the Ductless, saying that they had arrived safely at Sofia, 1,300 miles distant in their plane the Princess Xenia. The fact that the flyers narrowly escaped a crasb at the start in a bigh wind and that they had lung been un- reported caused some fear for their safety. The plane ran along the ground for 700 yards before it rose. It took the air 75 yards from a road lined with telegraph wires and cut through four of these wires leaving them dangling. Apparently this checked the Plano for it just cleared a farmhouse. After- wards, however, it began to climb steadily and flew in a flannel manner toward the sea. The Duchess plans to make the flight to India in four stages halting at Aleppo, Buchire and Karachi as well as Sofia. After delivering the first air freight from England to In- dia the plane is to return to England at once. A round trip flight to In- dia in eight days is pianne 1. sr - THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR.
