FOR NEURITIS Hovis She Found Relief This Woman suffered so much from Scuratis that she found it difficult to et a good night's sleep. Other suf- ferers will be interested in her letter:— "Some years ago I bad a stubborn attack of neuritis in both arms. At night I turned from side to side with- out sleep. Then my right hand got so stiff I couldn't bend it. Next my left foot got so bad I got out of bed with difficulty. So I had to have the &O— tar and give up work. I was afraid -'I couldn't get relief, He told me quite casually to take a little salts every morning. I tried a small dose of Ifruschen Saltsregularly, and the remarkable difference it made in a few weeks was almost unbelievable. Needless to say I have continued it over since."— (Miss) E.W.B.

Other ingredients- of Kruschen assist Na- ture to expel the dissolved acid from the system. Control of Ar s Urged by Brhthll 1 LONDON — The British Govern- ment has presented a four -point .proposal for uniform international 'regulation of the arms traffic to the iRoyal Arms Commission. It embraced a Foreign Office ;memorandum described as the re - :auk of 14 years of experience in in- iternational discussions. 1 The government, it was stated, considered an achievement of great value could be obtained if the prin- cipal arms manufacturing countries would agree to a convention accept- ing the folowing principles: 1. Strict national control of arms manufacture. 2. Publicity for arms produced, ex- ported and imported. 8. Establishment -of an interna- tional supervisory organ. 4. Responsibility of an interna- tional supervisory organ. 4.. Responsibility to that organ for the accuracy of returns on manufac- ture and trade. - The memorandum also stated the sovernment favored conclusion of an international agreement regarding arms manufacture and trade. The Royal' Commission has been investigating private arms manufac- ture. How Great Britai� Balallces budgets While the British press is busy grumbling about the new British budget, the American press, by and large, expresses admiration, for John Bull's budget -balancing feats and is inclined to ask how on earth he does It, observes the Montreal :Star, The Now York Times pursues the subject far enough to show that the United States takes its taxation principally from the corporations and the "big fellows," whereas Britain taxes the "man in the street." It produces a table of considerable interest show- ing how much income tax is paid in each country, after deductions, by a typical taxpayer, in this case a married man, whose income is wholly "earned," and who has to support two children. (Personal Income Tax) Net Income U.S.A. Britain. $ 1,000 0 0 2,000 0 7 5,000 48 484 10,000 343 1,553 100,000 31,702 46,336 1,000,000 678,346 632,357 It will be seen at once that the Briton in the lower and middle brackets pays far more than his American equivalent. It is only when the very highest brackets are reached that the American, ap- preaches and, in the case of the mil- lion -a -year man, outstrips the Briton as an income-tax Milch cow. In other words, this burden is far more widely distributed in Great Britain. It should be added, of course, that the Federal income tax does not tell anything like the .entire story in American, since various States' also mulct the citizen in income taxes, and since the United States provides a plethora of nuisance taxes—such as the New York City sales taic— much as we do in Canada. But the general picture remains tolerably true, with the Americans "soaking the rich" more and more. Death Takes No Holiday Observes the Manchester Sunday Chronicle: "The holidays mean more cars on the road, more people walk- ing around. And that means more accidents. Here is an appeal to driv- ers. Heed it. Remember death never takes a holiday with the rest of the world." In Berlin a noisy automobile is confiscated by the police and fitted with a muffler at the owner's expense.

People in the Land .. of Evan geline Counting on Spring Festival HALIFAX -.- For the fourth suc- cessive year the people in Annapolis Valley, or Land of • Evangeline, in Nova Scotia, are planning for an apple blossom festival. Nova Scotia is proud to possess the largest single apple belt in the British Empire. During the early days of June, millions of trees burst forth with quadrillions of blossoms, creating a pink and white fairyland, through which one may drive mile upon mile enraptured by a scene un- rivalled anywhere in the world. Throughout the valley school chil- dren are rehearsing for their part in' the pageantry of the festival, for the folk songs and the folk dances of Old England play a prominent part in Nova Scotia's apple blossom fete. Princesses from towns throughout the valley have their day when charming young maidens in their 'teens or early twenties enter into competition for the crown annually awarded to the apple blossom queen. The coronation ceremony is one of the outstanding features of the festival and, as the Premier of the province places the crown on the queen, a chorus of 1,000 voices, sup- ported by a symphony orchestra, salutes her in song. The ceremony is held in the setting of blossoms where the queen's throne is erected. Nova Scotia's apple blossom fes- tival is another link in the Empire chain. Last year, the queen of the festival was selected to represent Canada at the annual Imperial Fruit Show at Cardiff, Wales, and Mar- garet Messenger was an ambassador. of goodwill, making a splen lid im- pression at the Empire functions. There is a possibility of an Enf lish girl, a representative of the apple industry of Great Britain, coming to Canada this year for Nova Scotia's fourth anual Apple Blossom festival, If she comes, the people of the Land of Evangeline will welcome her with open arms. alloy ord �S The origin of words is an interest= ing study, even though Collegiate Institute pupils may not relish it as much now as they will no doubt in future years observes The Christian News. And in this connection also, the origin of some of our popular slang expressions is usually interest- ing, even though they may not add much to the elegance of our speech. There are certain words made popular through newspaper usage— and there aro many authorities who claim that even slang may become correct through usage, providing it is not too vulgar. One of these words is "boons". Heading writers on news- paper staffs consider the short words their best friends, and when. a word like "boom" may' be used to express "energetic campaign," or. "municipal growth," or "business improvement"—and the many other ideas it conveys,—it is warmly wel- comed and eagerly adopted by the editor who has space for only a lim- ited number of letters in a column - wide measure. Recently our attention has been drawn to a comment in the Edmon- ton Journal which explains the ori- gin of the word "boom" when used in the sense indicated. It was the St. Louis Post -Democrat which ori- ginally published the explanation, pointing out that it was a member of that staff who coined the word in 1878. At that time there was a move- ment to make U.S, Grant President again, and a Post -Democrat reporter referred to it as a "Grant Boont". It had never before been used in that sense. Now it refers to stock mar- ket, real estate, and other "booms" almost without number. The writer of the article, J. B. McCuIlagh in later years said that while on gun boats on the Mississippi river he heard the pilots say that the river was "booming" when ris- ing and swelling, so the word "booming" was suggested to his mind, and he used it. The river pilots may have adopted the word, not be- cause of the sound made by the river, but rather because the sudden rise may have been due to the breaking of a "boom". At any rate newspapermen would be quite lost if this word "boom" were stricken off the list of permis- sible phrases, and apparently the above explanation is the correct one in indicating its origin.

T Start Drilling Gateway Property Arrangements have been complet- ed for drilling at the Gateway Pa- tricia property adjoining Central Pa- tricia it was announced by the Mines Development Department of H. R. Bain and Company who are under- writing the property. Boyle Brothers, of Port Arthur, who will conduct the drilling will take the drill into the property as soon as aeroplane trans- portation to the field is resumed. This is expected almost immediately. Diamond drilling follows a complete land survey of the claims which had already been arranged. Gateway Patricia, 1080 acres in area, is the property immediately ad- joining Central Patricia on the west. With definite values reported by pre- vious owners who conducted a small, exploratory drilling campaign on a few of the northern claims, additional interest attaches to the present drill- ing owing to the fact that about a month ago it was reported in the Northern Miner that Central Pa- tricia, in an exploratory campaign had intersected $14 ore, 1,200 feet nearer the Gateway boundary. In 'addition Gateway is on the Iine of strike of Central Patricia's main ore bodies for a distance of one mile. In addition to the drilling campaign a complete electrical survey of the property will be undertaken. Tt, finance development 700,000 shares of Gateway are being current- ly offered to the public. Remaining in the treasury for future develop- ment are 1,500,000 shares of half the original capital of 3,000,000 shares. Save the Wild Flowers Every Spring nature Iovers are saddened by the wanton destruction of wild flowers that add a touch of color to the woods observes the Kitchener Record. The violets, Spring beauties and trilliums that once graced hill and dale in profusion are becoming scarcer from year to year. It is a pity to see these wild flowers gradually disappearing. If at all possible they should be preserved for posterity. Probably it is too much to ask people to refrain from picking the blooms, but they should at least com- ply with the request not to uproot them.

In making his com- ment Mn Spivak said in part: "The boy had that amazing quality of great- ness be has a quality that cannot be =attired." That is interesting; a "quality that cannot be acquired." It means that no amount of bard work which another leas gifted person might put on the work would produce the quality that this contestant from London possess- es. We believe Mr. Spivak would ag- ree with the claim that a teacher could not impart that quality to a. stu- dent; the teacher xnight instruct in methods of technique; might perfect the style, but back of it all would be that strange thing, "a quality which cannot be acquired. That view runs at cross purposes to the claim that "genies is actually the capacity for hard work." According to the finding of Elie Spivak, himself a musician of rare accomplishment, two people could devote the same energy and at- tention to the study of the violin, and one would outstrip the other because he might have that "quality which cannot be acquired." We are inclined to believe that view is correct and can be substantiated by experience and example In many lines of effort. Such a contest as that at Stratford gives opportunity to bring talent to the surface; it can there be submit- ted to those who are competent to recognize it and pass judgment upon it. To the one who has "it" in any par- ticular line of musical effort the jud- ges can state with a certain degree of assurance that there is a future for the competitor who has that quality or talent "which cannot be acquired." The development of that talent will ultimately give us great musicians in our own right. And the truth is we need them. Prairie Pp Moms Immigration is nota welcome word in these days of unemployment, but I believe the time is not far distant when a selective form of immigra- tion will be both desirable and pos- sible. I have in mind . particularly those fitted and willing to engage in mixed farming on small holdings on a basis of sef-sustainment rather than for export. True, Iarge areas in the West are not suited for mixed farm- ing, and the local market there is definitely limited, but wheat will con- tinue for years to be the major item of agricultural production on the Prairies. Fortunately, the world out- look for wheat is gradually brighten- ing. Some progress is being made in regaining for Canadian wheat the goodwill of millers and the wheat trade generally in Great Britain. But present and prospective prices are such as to call for the minimum of production costs and the highest pos- sible grades. Only in this way may our wheat farmers compete success- fully in world markets, Meanwhile, Canada as a whole must seek to ob- tain, by trade agreements and other- wise, markets that have been lost in Great Britain, Continental Europe and the Orient. I think we have learned the lesson that our business is to sell it at world prices rather than to hold it for speculation or with a view to forcing higher prices.—John Imrie in Canadian Business (Montreal).
