FORMER CRIPPLE
NOW PLAYS TENNIS
Rheumatism in Feet Relieved
Here is a story of a young man
who had almost given up hope of
taking part in active sports with his
fellows again. He tells how he tried
one remedy after another and how
finally a former sufferer put him on
the way to recovery; --
"Two years ago I started with
pains in the feet which gradually got
worse. I tried everything under the
sun' but to no effect. Whilst wait -
Mg for treatment one evening, an-
other patient advised me to try
Kruschen Salts. That was twelve
months ago; the relief was not sud-
den, but the pain and swelling
gradually left my feet, and in six
months I amazed my friends by tak-
ing long walks into the country.
This year I have played a good deal
of tennis, a thing which I had begun
to think T should never do again."--
c.w.
Rheumatic pain and swelling is
frequently caused by excess uric acid
accumulating in the body. uruschen
contains two ingredients which are
notable for their work in dissolving
uric acid deposits, Other ingredients
in Kruschen assist the internal or
gans to expel this dissolved acid
from' _ the system.
Good Animals.
Are Lower Cost
Of Production
Dr. Archibald Addresses Valley
Ayrshire Breeders Value
Of R. 0. P.
Conserve labour on the farm by us-
ing good cattle. To lower the cost of
production 'on farms, keep live stock
of High ,gna'Iity. A pure bred breeder
should be a leader in a community. In
this regard each member of a pure-
bred association is responsible to the
community as a 'breeder of pure bred
cattle.
The a.bovo summarizes some of the
practical advice given by Dr. E. S.
Archibald, in his after lunch to the
member I of the Ottawa Valley Ayr-
shire Breeders' Club attending the
Ayrshire barn meeting on April 14 at
the Central Experimental farm, Ot-
tawa. Dr. Archibald also advocated
the economic utility of the small re-
gional fairs which might be increased
if they made R.O.P. the basis of en-
try. "Pedigree alone," he said, "is the
poorest standard for breeders. Stan-
dardizing certain families is the aim
and R. 0. P. the medium."
The attendance represented each of
the communities in the Ottawa Val-
ley area overtaken by the club. G.
W. Muir, animal husbandman, con-
ducted the r1emonstrations, explaining
in his usual able manner regarding
conformation points of an Ayrshire
that indicate high quality. In demon-
strating the herd sires are kept at
the Central Farm the get of sire clas-
ses provided an interesting exhibition.
At the Luncheon held in the Main
Building, Frank Napier, addressed the
gathering. Dr. Alan Deskin, of the
Animal Husbandry Division staff, dis-
,eussed the autstanding points arising
from breeding problems as conducted
on farms. Dr. C. D. Mackenzie, of the
Central Farm staff, gave au informa-
tive address 'on Feeds and Feeding,
paying particular attention to the re-
quirements of minerals.

;CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — House-
wives ;got a word -of advice from the
.American Chemical Society this
week.
Look at ,the calendar before de-
ciding 'whether to fry, boil, or hake
dish.
Fish, it u,pp,ears from a study an-
nounced by Maurice E. Standsby of
the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, College
Park, Md., differ vastly from month
to month in the amount of oil.
• "Fish having high oil contents," he
sail, "should never be fried, since
frying process decomposes the highly
unsuitable oil to give rancid flavors.
Some species of fish may be fried at
one season when ;hey have a low oil
content, but are better broiled .or bak-
ed at other seasons."
For instance, he said, the season
to fry mackerel is in the spring. They
should be broiled or baked in late
summer or early fall. Late in the year
their oil content rises nearly 30 per
cent.
GARDENING
By GORDON L. SMITH
It is a good plan to use started an-
nual flowers plants secured from any
seed store, greenhouse or florist for
planting among tulips and others of
the Spring flowering bulbs which will
be past their best in a few more weeks
as these hide the dying foliage. Then
again, quick -growing annuals will al-
ways be useful for filling in any blind,
spots in the perennial bods where
Winter has been unusually severe.
AND PERENNIALS TOO
It is not too late in most parts of
Canada to order and plant perennial
flowers n.nt+ even shrubs and vines.
Often towards the end of the season
prices are lower and while the selec-
tion is not as wide as earlier, there
should be a good Choice.
THE NEW LAWN
Unless the ground was thoroughly
cultivated and then allowed to lie
idle the year before the lawn was
sown there is bound to be a good deal
of weed se ;d hi the soil, and some of
this will germinate after the lawn le
soti,n. Such weeds should be removed
constantly, especially in the earlier
stages, 'A good lawn fertilier eve 'y
year will push the grass along suf-
ficiently to choke out most of these
offenders. The first cutting of . the
grass in the spring Is made with a
very sharp . mower to avoid pulling
out plants when the ground is soft,
Frequent rolling is also advised at this
time.
For, permanent lawns of deep green
colour and fine texture, good quality
package seed is advisable.
KITCHEN GARDENS
It is advisable of course, to keep a
plentiful supply of salad material like
leaf and head lettuce, onions and pos-
sibly celery in the kitchen garden.
The latter is set out in the garden as
well started plants usually after all
danger of frost is over. For Fall stor-
age, planting takes place in June'Jr
even July.

QUILTED CHAIR PADS LE
By RUTH WYET
D A QUAINT TOUCH
SPEARS
Many a chair that is now Pictures Ylue, ;:but; decidedly uncomfort-
able, might gain both in comfort and anal** with the addition of
quilted chair pads. Our great grandmothers used such pads on lad-
der -back chairs, and chose the gayest';' of chintzes< both glazed and
unglazed for them.
Today we can use duplicates of diose `aIle old chintz patterns,
and what charm they add to our room .color '.schemes! Even the old
quilt block designs of colonial days, With all: their gay calico pat-
terns, are reproduced in chintz now. You might like to use one of
these for your chair pads, and if you do I suggest that you let your
quilting follow the outline of 'the quilt block pattern in the chintz
instead of using the- diagonal quilting Shown in this sketch.
You will find that in making such small: things' as Chair pads the
quilting may be done very- efficiently do the sewing machine. Few
people have time to do hand quilting any more, and decorators are
using machine quilting for many purposes.
The pads shown here are made with one layer of sheet wadding
between two layers of chintz. The edge bindings and ties are made
of bias tape. Cut the three layers of'nthe pad material. •exactly the
size and shape you want them to be wllefninished. Place the sheet
wadding between the two layers of ;chintz, as shown” here :at A.
Either pin or baste in this position and then quilt as shown at B.
Make the ties by. stitching the lengthwise edges of the tape'together
and then tack the ties to the corners of the padbefore it is bound,
as shown hre at C. Now, bind the edges of the pad as at D, sewing
the ties right in with tire binding.

That, we believe, identifies hint so
there can be no error.
Mr. Parker plants bulbs and he
does it so carefully and thoroughly
that they seldom fail to grow and
bloom, When they come to the stage
of blooming they seem to enjoy it so
thoroughly . they bloom for a long
time, His daffodils look like young .
sunflowers, and he grows tulips , and
hyacinths. He searches for the fer-
tilizer he wants; he cuts and prepares
the earth he prefers, and in the Fall
he spends entire evenings working
with his bulbs. Miring the Winter
he keeps them in pots, cool and dark
and moist, and insists they get well
rooted before bringing thorn to the
light. This year he had in • all 225
Pots filled with flowering bulbs.

Pulverized Carbon Attracts Un-
wanted Tastes and Odors
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The gas
masks of wartime have resulted in the
discovery of a "magnet" that extracts
the bad tastes and flavors and un-
wanted odors from food and drink,
The taste magnet, described to the
American Chemical Society to -day by
John W. Hassler of the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Co.( Tyrone, Pa,, uses
the same kind of carbon as gas masks
The carbon is "activated'', that is it
is given an unusual power of attrac-
tio. This is done by pulverizing the
black material into particles so fine
that the carbon is virtually all sur-
face. In that condition it acquires the
electrical forces common to the car-
bon atoms that form one of the basic
substances of all the living world.
Use of the taste magnet is limited
to food which can be temporarily re-
duced to a liquid or a gas during the
treatment. It is also limited to the
tastes and odors due to impurities.
"For example," said Hassler, "it is
not possible to make quinine less bit-
ter by treatment with activated car-
bon, because bitterness is a physia-
chemical property of quinine. How-
ever, if a liquid happens to contain
quinine, then activated carbon will
remove the bitter taste by actually
absorbing the quinine and removing
it from the solution."
He said that the carbon magnet
takes unwanted flavors out of sorg-
hum, cane and corn syrups, pineapple
juice, vinegar and various drugs. It is
particularly good, for cleaning up al-
coholic liquors, wines, glycerines and
water.
It has worked out well on lard and
sugar. In the case of gelatin, the car-
bon removed virtually all traces of an_
imal odors.
Wart Cure Given
A method of absorbing warts, which
lie said may be of use In some can-
cerous or pre -cancerous skin condi_
tions, was reported by John R. Cald-
eellof Ohio State University, now
with the Tennessee Eastman Corpor-
ation.
The water. is first treated like the
proverbial boy who swelled up be-
cause he drank water after overeat-
ing dry apples. Sodium hydroxide is
place on the wart, which thereupon
fills itself full of wt.ter and becomes
abnormally swollen,
"if," said Dr, Caldwell, "a wart
swollen by the action of sodium hy-
droxide is immediately treated with
diluted alcoholic hydrochloride acid,
the proteins in the wart are coagulat-
ed. A portion of the wart comes off
after a day or two. 13y repeating the
process at suitable intervals the wart
may usual';, be removed painlessly
and with very little scar."
Some of the troubles of hay fever
sufferers who fail to get relief from
proteins whose injection is intended
to immunize them, can be avoided by
a discovery reported by five New
Yorkers.
There has been trouble, they said,
because proteins sometimes deterior-
ated after preparation, They found
the enzyme;,, always present with the
proteins are responsible. The scien-
tists kill the enzymes by heat or for-
maldehyde, and report that this in all
cases leaves the hay fever proteins
unchanged.
Forest Tree Breeding
The tree _planter is beginning now
to pay more attention to the pedi-
gree of his stock. Much of the bad
plantations that we have are due to
the fact that we have eeen planting
trees of the wrong kind or "race."
There are quite obviously trees of
bad form and trees of good form, in
any forest, and the trees of bad form
have been found to remain trees of
bad form no matter how carefully
they are tended and managed.
I'n any particular species, say Scots
pine, Douglas fir, or spruce, there are
individual specimens which develop
clean, straight stems. These trees
produce seed which will give rise to
trees of similar type. There are
others which have heavy• crowns;
strong, thick branches, and which, no
never produce clean stems with good

Benny Eats Old Cars
Just now junk has a new statue
in the world and now we shall knots,
what to do with our old automobil"es.'
The piles of ungainly, rusty car
parts and bodies have been eye
sores in many cities in the past feol',
years. If they can be removed by)
the mere demand for scrap iron t1
civic outlook and community pride
will be inspired,
If we lived in Buffalo, N.Y., we
could attend quite decent obsequide`
of our faithful old cars and see hove'
machinery deals with junk in the
mass. The trouble with old automo-,
biles has been the great loss if the
car bodies were pitched into a cru-
cible pewees or furnace for recon-'
ditioning. Buffalo has a giant auto
smashing machine, quaintly calle4;
"Big Benny." It saves the loss, It
crushes old car bodies and bundle$
them into neat packages to cast int/
the steel furnaces to reduce more
profitably.
This powerful auto-cruncher wolfs
down 30 car bodies in an hour. The
operator pushes a button, a magnetic
crane lifts a car body, stripped of
glass, woad, engine, wheels, chassis,
and dumps it into a pit.
"Benny" grinds his teeth and the
sides of the pit come together. Un-
der,
terriffic pressure, a heavy ram
moves forward against the rasping
metal. "Benny" backs off, and the
once sleek auto conies out of the pit,
squeezed into a lump of metal about
the size of an orange crate. The
ponderous mechanical monster also
relishes bed springs, oil barrels, old
wastepaper baskets or any sheet
steel graded as No. 2 heavy melt.
