Robertson Lauds Principles of Mothereraft Society TORONTO The tenets of the 'Canadian Mothereraft Society, branch cd a parent society which has been reducing infant mortality since 1907, were upheld and strengthened by a recent address in Connotation Hall, "Toronto, when Dr, Burton T. Simp- son., of the State Institute for Mal- ignant Disease, Buffalo, declared that breast feeding- of infants was one of the safeguards a' •ainst can- cer. The Mothereraft Society goes :further in its declaration of 'faith in breast feeding and in its ether na- tural health principles. The president of the Canadian Mothercraft Society, Mrs. Robert- son, whose husband, the late Irving E. Robertson, of the Toronto Tele • gram, was the founder of the or - ie wastl . aitization of which his wife 8 'exponent, believe three generations can go a long way towards wiping out cancer and kindred evils. "It has been proved that breast feeding reduces the danger of infect .tion to a minimum," declared Mrs, Robertson the other day, "and it is obviating the danger of cancer. If public opinion and funds , were di- rected towards fundamentals—proper prenatal and postnatal care of bab- ies, stressing breast feeding, fresh air and sunshine, and an intelligent- ly simple diet, which would supply the growing needs of the body in 'natural form, the results would be • phenomenal. And think of the huge suns now necessary for remedial measures which would become avail- able for education and constructive healthbuilding. In three generations we could revolutionize the human race." One catches the spirit of the cru- sade, listening to Mrs. Robertson in Can- adian- sunny advice rooms Y Mothercraft Society, at 112 College St., which received visits from over 8,000 mothers and babies last year. And one has the urge to Murry the movement to every corner of Canada as it has gone to all oth- er parts of the Empire since the founding of the original society in New Zealand in 1907 by Dr. (now Sir) Truby King. A Sense ©f Humor Mr. F. M. Dowsett, an advertising executive, is a staunch advocate of application of a sense of humor to everyday life, He inalintains that if Canada's financial men would ex- ercise this characteristic they would calculat- ed 1 lat- �afi`ect a standard of living a cu ed to make them laugh at their pre- vious existence, He proposes a sense of humor typical of that employed ,by soldiers during the World War. Their spirit kept thousands of men from collapsing, he states. There is sound advice in Mr. Dowsett's suggestion. A sense of humor enables one to win or Iose graciously; it is especially useful in the lives of politicians. The man who can "hand it out" and yet ab- sorb return sallies in good form will stand the gaff much longer than a 'thin -skived fellow. Usually the chap possessing the anility t� smile easily and enjoy a laugh at his own expense is blessed with a thick hide, There is some- thing pathetic about the thin-skined man, on the other hand, and there are too many of tbeni around today. If Your Ears Rik With Head Noises If you have catarrhal deafness or head noises go to your druggist and get 1 oz. of Parmint (double strength), and add to it 14 pint of hot water and a little sugar. Take a tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should epen, breath- ing become easy and the mucous shop dropping into the throat. It ie easy to prepare, costs little, and is pleasant to take. Anyone who has 'catarrhal deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial. For este Far I Be a Farmer rid(Chat1tani Newt ) "tWi n I'm a man ..--o "11) be a farmer, iia I can. Timothy Seed SHiy Is P1dlli;hd The supply of timothy seed this year will far exceed the demand, consequently the price is lower than it has been for a long time and there is exceptional opportunity for farrn- ers who require seed to purchase only the best quality. At the time of writing the price of No. 1 seed in Montreal is $4.50 per hundred pounds,_ This is 25 per' cent. of the price de- manded last season, There is seldom any •serious doubt regarding the germination of timothy seed, but too much attention cannot be paid to its purity or freedom from weed seeds. If a farmer buys a horse which turns out to be unsatisfactory for his purposes, lie can dispose of it by some means, making the best of a bass bargain, and forget about the in- cident. Unfortunately the same can- not be done with a lot of seed for field crops which contains weeds seeds. If weed infested seed is once put into the ground it cannot be for- gotten as the weeds will be a contin- ual reminder. This is particularly true if the weed seeds are from a perennial such as Ox -eye Daisy. This weed is mentioned because it is one of the weeds classed as Primary Nox- ious under the Seeds Act, and one which is very commonly found in tim- remove tim- othy. The seed is difficult to during the process of cleaning and easily passed over when a sample is being examined for impurities. Over 20 per cent. of the samples from the 1934 crop which were analyzed in the Seed Laboratory at Ottawa contain- ed Ox -eye Daisy. In these samples the average number of the seeds of this weed was 33,1 per ounce. Any lot of timothy seed containing this number of Ox -eye Daisy would be re- jected as unfit for seed under the Seeds Act. A simple calculation will show the number •of Ox -eye Daisy seeds which would be sown per acre if this seed were used. Since timothy seed is plentiful and the price lo'v this season every care should be taken in the purchase and only ,the cleanest seed should .find its way into the ground. The Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture aims to encourage the more general use of good seed promoting the pro- duction by P g p duction of seeds of superior quality in Canada, Ottawa Families On Relief Spurn Patched Clothes .Mrs. Thorburn Tells of Demand • for New Things No Matter if Cheap OTTAWA. — Style sense of wo- men in relief recipients' families brings heartburn to the breasts of workers in the Ottawa neighborhood services. Mrs. C. H..Thorburn, acting chair- man of the neighborhood services, board of control that per- sons, the bo d ti P sons, particularly women, receiving direct relief refuse to accept recon- ditioned shoes, They want new foot- wear, even of the cheapest kind. The neighborhood services asked the board to approve opening of a retail store to dispose of accumula- tions of rebuilt shoes, reconditioned clothing, furniture and other goods to the public. "People on relief," said Mrs. Thor - burn, "are the most particular in Ottawa. They won't take this cloth- ing and footwear," Canada Has High Place In British Market Figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics show that for the year 1935 Canada had first place in the British import• market for many important products. ;Canada was first in wheat, oats, oatmeal, wheat flour, apples, canned lobster,' copper ore, pulp for industrial pur- poses, aliuninum ingots, unwrought copper, zinc, , non-ferrous metals, photograph plates and films, patent leather, rubber boots and shoes, rubs ber manufacturers.

Base products of Maizewood may easily be made into good -quality paper, the scientists said. Even this would not be novel, as grass- like plants, similar to American farm waste products, were used as a source of paper in Europe in 1863. Cheapness of wood pulp at the time made it preferred as raw material. This situation now is changed, however, according to local experts, because wood is considerably more expensive than it was, whereas cost of processing waste farm pro- ducts is rapidly declining, Possibilities of modern industrial chemistry may be seen from the following lines of research: '- Dr. A. M. Buswell of the Univer- sity . of Illinois is experimenting -with cornstalks and sewage for production of gas for fuel. Dr. ltlax • Levine, Iowa State bac- teriologist, is tackling the problem of packing house and beet refinery waste. Dr. C.

At any moment, one of the re- searchers may solve his particular problem, and create a new market for farmers, one that: means more dollars in their pockets.

The crop last year amounted to more than 55 million pounds and was 45 per cent. greater than that of 1934. The tobacco growing industry in this country has made rapid strides over the past fifteen years, especially in Ontario, where 85 per cent. of the crop is produced. Other areas of pro- duction are located in Quebec and in British Columbia. The quality of the 1935 crop is re- ported 'as excellent. "With an im- provement in general economic con- ditions and a closer eo-operation be- tween growers , and purchasing com- panies panics in the i'ilai etin • and d Pro -duction of flue -cured and Burley tobaccos, the price situation is much improved over 1933, particularly in Ontario," states the "Agricultural Situation and Outlook" for 1986. Authorities feel, however, that in the case of flue -cured tobacco the pro- babledemand in 1930 does not call for any increase in acreage over that of 1935. Although the acreage devot- ed to Burley in 1935 was not as large as anticipated, an increase of over 1G per cent. in acreage of this type, does seem to be warranted for 1936. Other types of tobacco appear to have reached a satisfactory acre- age, based on present constunption gores, jj The only items of tobacco i products to snow a decline in consumption in 1935 were plug and snuff. These commodities appear to be somewhat less in fashion for the present at least. Withdrawals of cigarettes from bond for consump- tion in 1934 were 14 per cent. great- er than inal933 and in 1935 this figure was 21 per cent. over that of 1933. Exports of tobacco to the United Kingdom declined in 1935, but the outlook appears to be More encourag- ing. The British West Indies import- ed substantial quantities of Canadian dark tobacco; a sharp increase in 1935 being reported. Figures pertaining to the produc- tion and marketing of tobacco are discussed in the "Agricultural Situ- ation and Outlock" for 1936. Publish ed jointly by the Departments of Agriculture and Trade and Commerce, this bulletin is available free to farmers said others interested, from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Scientists estimate that 40 per cent of the land area of the earth is des- ert, 80 per cent is productive, and 80 per cent is poor grazing ground, felts', high mountains, and waste, t 1' .:qtr;"". " r=>\�a� 'tie r Uiie b Pasteirizaiioll (Editorial in health, the journal of the Canadian Social Hygiene. Coun- cil.) PIans are under way whereby the Health League of Canada will organize a national Committee on Milk. The objective of this committee will' be the universal pasteurization of milk in Canada. The importance of pasteurization of milk as a means for safeguarding health has been repeatedly discussed in this Journal and as far as possible in each issue Milk will continue to be a major topic of discussion. But it has been realized that this is not enough. A very large proportion of the people of Canada are exposed to the dangers of drinking raw milk, Raw milk con- veys disease and although milk is perhaps the most important of all unpasteurized, ma of our foods, it y be a positive menace. There are many reasons why people till continue to drink raw milk. The most important is ignor- ance and the reiteration again and again of the truth will result in a demand for pasteurization. But the effective reiteration of the facts re- quirs greater machinery than is pro- vided even by the magazine, "Health." Organization is needed and the utilization of every paeans of publicity if a demand is to be cre- ated which is likely to result in as - tion. In addition, more effective health machinery is needed if there is to be effective action. "Health" is of the opinion, for example, that so long as we have the part-time great health officer system over a willacIueti c we part of Canada, little either in the direction of get- ting milk pasteurized or raising health standards generally. For this reason a demand for pasteurization must be part of a de- mand for better health service in general. This denra,,lid will he organiz ed by the Health League of Canada —.and education as to the need for universal pasteurization will be part of the larger programme. For this reason a special committee or sec- tion to specialize in the whole ques- tion of milk, its consumption and safety, will be a definite part of the educational machinery in the process of formation, —_ Sixuplidity There is great virtue in siniplieity and directness.
