Kruschen put him right again — and has kept him fright since:— "Four years ago," he writes, "I was troubled with lumbago inter- mittently, and tried several remedies, without getting any relief. I started taking Kruschen Salts, following the directions for lumbago, and I can as- sure you that after a few weeks I felt the benefit. For four years now 1 have never felt any recurrence of lumbago, although I still continue with Kruschen. I would not quit if they were double the price. 1 am sixty, and work ' on sailing craft, aid apart from that lumbago have hardly ever had a day's Illness."—E.O. Kruschen is a combination of sev- �era1 salts which assist in stimulating !your liver and ingestive tract to Ghealthy, regular activity. They en- sure internal cleanliness, and help ;to keep the blood -stream pure. Thus lumbago, rheumatism, headaches and .indigestion are less apt to trouble tyou. New Heater Small Fan Sends Warm Air To All Parts of Room One of the newest bathroom gad- gets is a portable heater that looks like a miniature radio. Convenient and inexpensive to operate, its small bladed fan forces the air past the hot coils circulating it to various parts of the room. It is mighty nice where there are small children in the family. Air conditioning is now possible for a single room. Placed in the bottom of a window in the same manner as a ventilator, there is an electric fan which drews fresh air from outdoors through a glass wool filter which then matches dirt and other impurities. Moisture is added from a small tank Of water, that is kept steaming by electricity. This according to the man- ufacturer circulates purified and hu- midified air throughout the room re- lieving dry air discomforts. Perfects Navy Bean Adapted To Northern Ontario Climate An outstanding . achievement in that it originatedin a distliet far agri.cultuie and one of great inter- est to northern Ontario is the de- velopment of an early maturing navy bean in the Rainy River district.' This new bean is adapted to more northern districts than those now recognized as the "bean zone," where the standard 125 to 130 day varieties are grown, in that it re- peatedly matures in from 80 to 90 days from date of planting. The originator of this new early bean is A, C. Gohn of Enna, Ont., who came to the Rainy River dis- trict in 1923 from the province of Saskatchewan. Mr, Golan brought with him a sample of beans, unrecog- nized by the dominion seed branch at Ottawa, from which he had by carefully selecting for uniformity, productiveness and earliness, devel- oped a variety that is most depend- able. Awarded Many Prizes . This new bean was under test for three seasons by the dominion seed branch and in February 1934 the commissioner 'granted its license as a new variety to led known as "Gohn's Rainy River," thus showing MO of the standard bean zone. .Apart from this new navy bean being extremely early, it has already proved that it holds' a high place in competition. In 1933 it won a ma- jor award at the Regina World's Grain. Show. It won the Canadian championship at the 1934 Toronto "Royal," also defeated all the United State at the 1934 Chicago “international, '•' Twice in succession it won the special at Chicago. This new variety has all the good features of those grown in the old bean zone together with those re- quired for our northern zone. Among these features are: earliness of ma- turity, uniformity of crop and sample, productiveness, chalk .white color, cooking quality unexcelled, foliage protects pods from ngbt frosts and maturing farther north. In 1934, a most unfavorable sea- son, Gohn's Rainy River navy bean ripened in less than 90 days at Gimli, Man., 50 miles northwest of Winnipeg, and . arrangements have been made with Hudson Bay Co. to distribute this bean through their trading posts down the McKenzie River valley and report results next Fall. The Swans of the Thames One of the sights of the upper Thames is the swans which are to be seen floating around gracefully on the surface of the water often fol- lowed by a pair of cygnets. They move about the small boats which frequent these waters fearlessly, for no one disturbs them, as they are regarded as the King's property. As a natter of fact, they are owned jointly by the King, the Vintners' Guild' and the Dyers' Guild. Every year in July the King's Swan Mast- ers make a trip over the river and they make a mark on the bird's bill to indicate its ownership. The cyg- nets, which have been unmarked, are divided among the owners. Persons desiring to own swans may apply and if their application is passed upon favorably they are given a pair. They must prove that they have a suitable place to keep the birds.

Ileac mg a Calf To Drink "We were reading a tribute writ- ten about pioneers, and it recount- ed changes which have taken place in the years which separate us from pioneers," writes the Peterborough Examiner. "Like this: 'If the pioneer came back today he would marvel at the manner of 1936 agriculture; the manner of feeding has changed; the way in which milk is taken and separated at once; the putting down of production. It would seem strange to him to turn a button and illuminate the barn. He would find himself in a changed world.' "It went on like that for quite a distance, and no doubt there's quite a bit of truth in it, but the change is not as great as stated. The pio- neer farmer would find some things had not changed at all, and we men- tion just one teaching a calf to drink out of a -pail. We dare say he did it just the same as it was done on the Tenth Concession some years ago and just the same as it is being done on farms all over the country today. "It is quite true many things are done differently today. No longer is a pig allowed to live long. enough to demonstrate how big and how fat I e can become; the pig is cut off in his youth. The pioneer allowed him to become a nice large pig be- fore he considered it well to be done with him. It is the swine with chickens; they are subjected to strange and great mechanical de- vices today. The pioneer used to help chip the eggs at the end of three weeks and if the old hen deserted her family he would rear the chicks in a basket beside the kitchen range. Much has changed, but we do not know of any new devices for teach- ing a calf to drink from a pail. The pioneer probably got some milk in the pail and put his hand down in the bottom and turned the fingers up to get the calf to start that way;, we did the same thing in later years on the Tenth Concession and we be- lieve the custom has not changed. Nor has the strength of the calf's neck. A calf may look wobbly on its long legs but it is never wobbly in the neck. A calf may even appear to be demure and in its eyes one may even see the light of reason and a certain degree of wisdom, but when it comes to drinking from a pail the calf is stubborn. Extremely so. The first few lessons in pail drinking when a calf is being weaned always spoiled a man's temper. We don't know if we can recall a man who taught a calf to drink out of a pail without saying the things which never should have been said. So if the pioneer were to return he might find a good many things changed, but if there was a calf near the weaning stage he would feel that he was back where he once belonged." U.S. Anta 'ctic Land It is difficult at this time to con- ceive of the specific importance to the United States of 350,000 square miles of Antarctic territory just claimed for that country by the intrepid Lincoln Ellsworth, The National Geographic Society, through President Roosevelt, has awarded Ellsworth the Hubbard memorial medal for the Antarctic acquisition, believed to have been the last band left unclaimed in either polar region. Ellsworth deserves high honor for daring and skill. But the territorial question is something else, This Antarctic ter- ritory may never be worth one cop- per cent; on the other hand, it may some day be worth a great deal. There was a time, remember, when America's purchase of Alaska was considered sheer extravagance Pithy Anecdotes Of the Famous Izaak Walton, the "Father of Alm ling" and author of "Tile Conapleat Angler" the Z�lsberman's Bible— was ible-was a sweet-souled , contemplatly' man, who spent much of his time When he was not fishing, "in the tam Ilies of the eminent clergymen of th old country." As Andrew Lang said "He had a natural taste for a Bishop.'.' For 61 years old !mak was in bus Mese in London occupying half a sho two doors west of Chancery Lane There is some doubt whether he wa a linen -draper or an iron -monger, say 0• Lewis Hind (in "One Hundred ,Res Books"), but there is no doubt the important men sought him anti woul chat with this delightful shopkeeper fisherman over the counter. When George , Eliot's first novo "Amos Barton"" appeared in "Black wood's Magazine" there was doub and speculation as to the author's id- entity since "George Eliot" was a knowledged to be a pseudonym. Ther was little or none on the sex question The author was a man, Dickens alone penetrated the secret He was quite certain the writer was a woman. And of course, he was right. "George Eliot" was Mary Ann Evans. Even Major John Blackwood, her publisher was not let into the secret until some time later. All the corres- pondence and business arrangements with his new author had been conduct- ed through Georgo Henry Lewes—her close friend and literary adviser. , Eventually, Blackwood, whose sus- picion and curiosity had been arous- ed went to call on George Eliot. He was received by Lewes and a young woman who was introduced as Mary Ann Evans. (The scene is described y J. Lewis May in his "Life" of Geo. liot). "Well, am 1 to see George Eliot?" aid Blackwood. "Do you wish to see him?" replied Lewes. "As he likes — I wish it to be quite pontaneous," said the Major. Mary Ann Evans left the room fol - owed by Lewes. She quickly gave him ermission to reveal the secret. Back n the room, Blackwood was formally resented to "George Eliot." e e p • s s t t d 1 t c e • Which recalls an Eliot tory by Burton Rascoe (in "A Bookman's Day- book). T. S.

United Athlon Cure For Canada's Ills KINGSTON, Ont. — Recovery after the depression in Canada is not merely a matter of getting back to the 1928 stock market prices nor of regaining the position as third great- est trading n:,tion in the world, but is a task of reviewing the manner in which the Dominion has developed since Confederation and seeing wherein Canada has been successful and wherein she has .failed and then setting forth on a new plan of re- construction, Hon, Norman McLeod Rogers, minister of labor, told the Kinsmen convention here curing the week -end. One of the more serious results of the depression has been the grow- ing talk of secession, said Mr, Rogers. He said he was certain, how- ever, that these evidences of doubt, mistrust and sectional antagonism can be removed very largely by the realization that Canada's only es- cape lies in united action. Mr, Rogers said he was confident that by 1938 the people of Canada would be able to look back and agree that theirs was indeed a goodly heri- tage. South Africa leads the world in production of gold.

A heavy demand for small reasonably priced homes has made its appearance as Summer approach- es and moving vans start their yearly round. Although most cities in Ontario report slight change in building figures compared with last year, some real activity is promised in Sudbury, Hamilton and London, with the Northern Ontario city ex- pecting a $1,000,000 program to boost business outlook: Toronto city building department officials declare the construction pic- ture this spring is only "a trifle bet- ter" than last. Up to the end of March total value of building work done was $46,212, slight increase over 1935 figures. About $200,000 will be expended in London, the majority in indus- trial expansion. Hygrade Corrugat- ed Products Limited, manufacturers of containers and similar articles, is arranging for a $30,000 addition to their plant while the Atlantic Pa- cific Tea Company plans spending $35,000 on two new stores. For the first three months of 1936 total value of new buildings in Ham- ilton was $198,000 compared to $140,000 last year. This year a $64,- 000 factory is under construction and other large contracts are appear- ing. Active in Sudbury A real rosy tint to the picture is painted in Sudbury, where $1,000,- 000 will go into construction jobs, many large business blocks are to make their appearance and accommo- dation for more than 400 families anticipated. The quarterly report of H. Roseborough, building inspector, declares the construction value for the First three months of 1936 is sec- ond only to the figure for the same period in the 1931 boom. In this busy northern city permits granted for the first three months this year amounted to $38,700 com- pared to the $7,515 figure for the same period in 1935. It is about half the value of permits issued in the first three months of 1931. Sault Ste. Marie, another north- ern /`.entre, reports prospects bet- ter than for several years with per- mits issued up to the present worth $39,000 compared to $29,500 in the same period in 1035. St. Catharines hopes for an im- proved construction year. A new city hall and police station will be erected at a cost of $150,000, • And in Sarnia where operations have been practically at a standstill for several years, revival signs are seen this spring A shortage of moderate - priced dwellings for rental purpo's. es has turned householders to study- ing the federal housing act with a view of building their own homes. Value of Sarnia building permits for March was $10,040, largest for that month since 1931, with the to- tal for the first three months $18,- 540, an increase of $1.0,181 over last spring. A new theatre is planned with an expenditure of nearly $100,000.
