Then her father, who had proved the value of Kruschen himself, advised her to try it. She did, and here is her grateful letter:— "For years I have tleen suffering with pains in- the back. At times I had to stay in bed for days, I could not walk, or even stand. My father was using Kruschen Salts for the same thing, He, too, used to suffer badly, and Kruschen relieved him. He advised me to try it. I did so, and did not get a pain for three years. I then neglected my daily dose for about six months, and two months ago the pain returned. I tried another remedy—it fade., so I again started Kruschen. Now I have not a trace of pain, thanks to Kruschen."—(Mrs.) H.R. Pains in the back are usually due to impurities in the blood — waste products which the internal organs are failing to expel from the system. The numerous salts in Kruschen as- sist in stimulating these organs to healthy, normal activity, and so help them to keep the system free from harmful waste matter. Three New 1937 Cream Separators To Be Given Away In Contest The manufacturers of the Anker- Holth Cream Separator announce a - novel contest in which the company will give away three of its 1937 streamlined Chief Models with stain- less steel discs and White Duco fin- ish. Those who participate in the contest need not buy anything to enter—it is open to anyone except Anker-Holth dealers and their em- ployees and employees of Anker- Holth Manufacturing Company. • Each contestant is to state in his own words, as many or as few as he likes, why he wants his next cream separator to have a self -balancing bowl and be guaranteed in writing to be self -balancing. That is all there is to it. To each of those send- ing in the three best answers, the manufacturer will ship, all charges paid, one • of these new 1937 models.

Write at once to SHAW SCHOOLS LIMITED Dept. P.W. 1130 Bay St., Toronto GARDE ING By GORDON L. SMITH During the early part of the season, a little cultivation every week will help plants along wonderfully. The purpose is two -fold. Unsightly weeds are killed and valuable moisture is conserved. . Growth is hurried along. Later on as the flowers or vegetables develop it will not be necessary Lo cultivate so often. Sometimes a mulch of short straw -or grass clip- pings is used to retain moisture due- ing the Summer. It keeps the under- lying soil moist, open and free from weeds. Seed as a Foundation The importance of good seed is im- possible to over -emphasize. Other factors may be beyond control, but the gardener has absolute check over this foundation. Weather, soil and location may be ideal, but without good seed, especially selected to suit Canadian conditions, the garden is going to be a failure„ There is no guarantee that a flower which has given wonderful results in Great Brit- ain or the Southern States will do equally well in this country, and be- cause of this the average gardener is well advised to secure his seed and nursery stock from a reliable Can- adian source. Flower Pointe Many fine points can be considered, when laying out a flower garden, Certain shades blend well together and often a whole bed will be select- ed with this blending in mind. Of. course, for this sort of thing all the plants must bloom during the same period. Fragrance should bo taken into account as there are some spicy. things like Evening Scented Stock, Nicotine, Mignonette, Sweet Sultan and Verbena which, while rather plain as plants, fill the whole -garden with a delightful incense, more es- pecially in the evening. In shaded quarters, Tuberous rooted Begonias, Pansies and wild flowers will do well. In fact they prefer this location to any other. In partial shade nearly, every annual can be grown. On poor., soil Portulaca is a favorite, 'as well as Alyssum, Sweet -scented Stocks, Linum, Calendulas, Calliopis, Sun- flowers, Schizanthus, Salpiglossis, Marigolds, Petunias, and .many' others. These will also • successfully resist dry weather. AVE HEAR Guffs of May Wind Greed distorts the vision of even the most careful investors .

COLLING SECURITIES CORPORATION LTD. 357 Bay Street. TORONTO Trial Tests Of Root And Vegetable Seeds A comprehensive scheme for an extension of trial tests of field root and garden vegetable seeds is to be put in operation at Macdonald Col- lege, Quebec, Manitoba Agricultural College, Winnipeg, the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, 13.0, and Vineland Station, Ontario, Horti- culturists at these stations have now agreed to no -operate in the tests, set- ting aside for this purpose at least 1% acres of land, They have also agreed to supervise the necessary work of preparation, the sowing and the cultivation. An undergraduate or graduate will be appointed by each station for a period of at least six months to take direct charge ,of the trials, The Seed Branch and the Experi- mental Farms Branch, Dominion De- partment of 9griculture and the Can- adian Seed Growers' Association aro co-operating with these stations in the tests. This extension of tests is partially the outcome of the discus- sion and resolution by the Horticul- tural Plant Breeders Committee of the Canadian Seed Growers' Associa- tion the idea of the Committee being that, if all parties interested in this work were to co-operate and the trials extended to stations nearest the wholesale see dcentres, inform, tion of inestimable value to all would be secured. The extending of the purity of var- iety tests Is also intended as an alter- native to the licensing of new variet- ies of field roots and garden vege- table seeds being omitted when the Seeds Act comes up for revision in Parliament during, it is hoped, the just the right pocket size,' the DOUBLE automatic is the booklet everybody prefers. FINEST QUALITY IMPORTED present session oe Parliament. The working out of the details of the pro- gram have been tentatively agreed upon, the Horticultural Division of the Experimental Farms Branch be- ing delegated to collect approximate- ly 50 samples of new recommended varieties for merit tests, and the Canadian Seed Growers' Association having about 100 samples of Canad- ian -grown registered seed stocks for verification tests. These samples will be forwarded to the office of the chief of the Seed Division, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, for entry and transmission to the trial grounds. Afrer allowing for these tests, also there will be more room at each of the trial grounds for about 150 sam- ples of garden vegetables taken by the Seed Branch from the trade for purity of variety, tests to check the truth in advertising under Section 10 of the Seeds Act. HOW TO SEW By RUTH WYETH SPEARS Crazy Patchwork at Home in a Modedn Setting The crazy 'hatch is the oldest of quilt patterns yet there is some- thing amaztingly modern in its angular lines. So whether your living- roonneis traditional in style or newer than tomorrow you will be interested in the revival of crazy patch work for what our grand-- mothers rand-mothers and great grandmothers called a "slumber throw". Wcorner of one of these old silk crazy quilts is shown here at • the lower right. The pieces were small—many not more than 1% inches wide or long. A variety of embroidery stitches join the pieces. Both plain and figured silks were used, the plain patches often being embroidered with flowers, fans and other amusing motifs—not the beetle embroidered on one patch. Several cwlors of silk embroidery - thread were generally. used but in the most artistic of these quilts one color predominated in the embroidery. Larger patches with simple feather stitch and herring -bone stitch at the joinings also give a good effect. The pieces are sewed to a foundation of some firm soft material. Outing flannel or an old wool .blanket are good. Pin a piece in place over the space to be filled, trim the edges to the right shape, as at A, allowing enough to turn • under, as at B, where the patch laps over the one "next to it. Baste the turned edges down, as shown. When a number of patdhes have been basted in place, sew them down to the foundation with the embroidery stitches and then remove the bastings. The backing is tied to the front with silk embroidery thread as comforters are tied. Little or no padding may be used and a plain band around the edge is effect"ire.

Address: Mrs. Ruth Wyeth Spears, 73 Adelaide Street West, Toronto Thinks Children Like Discipline BOSTON, Dr. W. Linwood Chase well-konwn educationist, lecturer and author, think.; children like discip- line. They like the security that comes from parents who take respon- sibility and make demands upon them. They may object vigorously at the time, and vociferously, but they like parents who take decided stands on all things," he said. Dr. Chase has little patience with the kind of schooling that sugar- coats or the kind of discipline that countenances unwise freedom, for he thinks, that the boy must then suffer the inevitable consequences of such treatment. If a child's behavior irritates an ad- ult, it ma,y only bo the symptom of a real conflict that the child himself is engaged in when he tries to do what is expected of him. Until this con- flict is understood, little can be ac- complished in settling the child on the path of adjustment to things all about him. Dr. Chase also believes a happy at- mosphero• at school Is essential, 40 Carpenters Build A House In One Way PORT ARTHUR, Texas.—Speak- ing of speed: As a courtesy to Mrs. Ivan Vick, widow •of a fellow union member, the Carpenters' Union built her a four -room house in a day's time.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE And You'll lump Out of Bed in the Morning Barin' to go The liver should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach, You get constipated. Harmful poisons go into tho body, and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere bowel movement doesn't always get at the cause. You need something that works on tho liver as well. It takes those good, old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you eel "up and up,'.Ilarmless and gentle, they make the bile flow freely. They do the work of calomel but have no calomel or mereary in them, Ask for Carter's Little laver Pills by name 1 Stubbornly refuse anything else. 25e. New Drug Eases Faster Walkin • •1 Scientists Hear of Horrnon4l Which Aids Physical Exertioiti' MEMPHIS, Tenn„ — A drug whip increases the ease of fast walking about 14 per cent and which upse theories that in the human body n mal perfection • cannot be improve upon was reported to the Federati' of American Societies for experimefi al biology. This sciegtific surprise was f nished by cortin, a hormone prod ed by the adrenal glands, two sm cap -shaped bodies above the kidne Some of this hormone, obtained fr the glands -of -beef, was given to elg men and three women by Fred Hitchcock and R. C. Grubbs of th department of physiciology, Oh State University. The effects were measured in th changes in their breathing while 1r Ing down, standing and walking rah pidly. In all cases their bodies requir.i ed less oxgen and breathing was eas- ier. This was noticeable when they walked at a speed of nearly four miles an hour. In that case there was an average decrease of oxygen that was breathed of about 14 per cent. t.
