HER KNEES SWELLED
.WITH RHEUMATISM
To Go Upstairs Was Agony
There is nothing in which rheuma-
tism is a greater handicap than in do-
ing ordinary household dutlee—kneel,
ing, stooping, running up and down
otairs. Hoist to overcome that handi-
cap, and relieve rheumatic aches and
pains, is the subject of the following
letter
"I have been taking Kruschen Safts
for three months. When I 'started,
had rheumatism M both kjsees. They
were very swollen. r could not ride
from a chair Without assistance, I
could not kneel, and to go upstairs
was agony. Now 1 can run upstairs
and kneel as much as 1 like. Slime
have taken Kruschen, 1 can work like
a horse.!'—(Mrs.) H.S.
Two of the ingredients of Kruschen
Salts are effective sontents of uric
acid. Other ingredients of these Salts
have a stimulating effect anon the
internal organs, -and assist them to
expel the dissolved uric acid from the
system.

Is being specially "prepped", fm, the
Canadian National Exhibition.
Permission has been granted. by
the Federal Government for the at-
tendance of this extraordinarily fine
unit of thirfy-two and their careful-
ly selected horses throughout the en-
tire period of the Exhibition, where
they will be one of the new attrac-

detachment of "Scarlet Riders of the

romance and tradition, unquestion-
ably is the fidest turnout of the fa-

The horses alone would be an at-

Only 220 horses are now used by
"The Mounted," the expansion of the
service and its duties having result-

over one hundred marine vessels and
powerboats. Airplanes, too, now
have entered into the patrol service
on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards

trained horses, will represent the
world-famous force which was or-
ganized in 1873, to establish and
maintain law and order on the plains

Commentary on the
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS
Spanish Incident
Buried in the week's news, a very
small item announces that 104 Am-
ericans, 'volunteers in the Spanish
Loyalist aernies, are believed drown-
ed from the steamship Ciudad de
Barcelona. The ship is thought to
have lseen torpedoed in the open
Mediterranean, between Barcelona
and Valencia, by a foreign sub-
marine.
Back in 1915 a similar ineident oc-
curred when the Lusitania was sunk
by a German submarine. Americans
lost their lives and a nation, which
had ' been wavering in balance
weighted for the Germans, was
brought into action against them.
Today, the same violation of the laws
of the high seas bring nothing but a
mention. Perhaps it is an indication
that, wars haire not always been en-
tered from a sense of outraged honor
but after a cold consideration of the
chances for success. Right now no
one wants Et war, but the feeling per-
sists that it is not because of honor
but rather a desire to live and wait—
until the guns are ready.
Popular Trend
Spanish political fashions— what-
ever their doubtful popularity at
home are beginning to go abroad.
For a year and fifteen days, a mild
Mannered little man tried to steer
France through shoals both foreign
and domestic. He tried to give the
working man a forty -hour 'Week,
higher wages, social security. This
week he was forced to admit defeat
and a deficit of $1,800,000,000, for
the past six months. Apparently,
the average Frenchman doesn't want
the things ex -Premier Blum tried to
give him. In any event, the little
man was turned down by the French
Senate when he eked for sweeping
powers to level the franc and to se-
cure fresh revenues by control of
foreign trade and taxation. Now,
they have a Popular Front in France,
a mixture of Socialists, Communists,
and Radical Socialists led by Camille
Chautemps. As usual, Ghautemps is
optimistic about the future of .,his
government, but it remains to be
seen whether he can beat a record of
one yeat-and fifteen days—. s -Twice
remier before this present summon,
Chautemps' last government, in 1934,
lasted two months.
Share The Land
Germany •has a new "share the
land" plan. The government has an-
nounced the redistribution of thou-
sands of acres including much prop-
erty formerly belonging to the
Church. Small holdings will be laid
out—holdings grouped into state
controlled collectives for use of equip-
ment and disposal of produce. About
the only difference existing between
the German plan of socialization and
the Soviet plan of state ownership
will be the nominal ownership of the
land by the peasants. Since this
ownership will depend entirely upon
the use to which they put the land
in the opinion of the government, it
will readily be seen that the differ-
ence is more in name than in fact.

Last week, three Russian airmen left
Moscow for San Francisco by way tif
the North Pole. After sixty-four
hours in the air, they landed just 580
miles short of their goal. The flight
was daring but more than that, it
was spectacular in the amount of
preparation and careful research be -
hid it, For years, Soviet airmen
and scientists have been studying
weather and flying conditions in the
Arctic. Bases have been extended
until quite recently one was establish-
ed at the Pole itself. This last
weather observation pat, located on
floating ice at the world's peak was
of invaluable aid in the final plotting
of the successful flight, The Rus-
sians are justly proud of the work of
their scientists and airmen. Their
achievement marks a new departure
in aviation.
3 Days t� Europe !
While the Russians are engaged in
the development of a regular air
route across the roof of the world,
plans are going forward rapidly for
the testing of regular trans-Atlantic
flight. Simultaneously on July. 5th,
planes- will leave' Ireland and the
shores of Newfoundland for experi-
mental flights which, it is hoped will
result in the establishment of regu-
lar air schedules across the last great
ocean.
Sky Conquor — And Safety
At such a time, it is interestingsto
know something of the equipment
that is making long distance flight
over land or water such an ordinary
part of our lives. There is, for ex -
just brought into service for trans-
continental flight. The new plane will
shettle, from New York to Los An-
geles- in slightly over fifteen hours,
carry twenty-five passengers and
cruise at 218 miles per hour. Com-
fort, awake or asleep, will be com-
parable to the best on the ground.
Then, there are the new "Ensign"
liners, fourteen of which are dipini,
construction for Imperial Airwaye.
These twenty -ton, four-motoned giants
will see service on the European air
lanes, to Egypt and farther afield to
Calcutta. Luxury and comfort will
be the ]aseWbrd while the Safety re
serve will be greater than that, em-
bodied in any ship ever built. The
world is surely shrinking—sometimes
we think it is shrinking Mo fast for

Sky Adventuress
Despite the advance of science,
there are still adventurouh souls on
the skyways of the world. At this
moment, somewhere over the Pacific
Ocean, a woman isflying to keep a
speaking engagement in Los Angeles
on July 28th. There may, be storins
or a."' hundred and one things to pre-
vent her arrival, but Amelia Earhart
has calmly planned what she will do
when she reaches, the American eon-
tinent. Miss Earhart is expected to
keep a radio engagement on Monday
night. Lux Radio Hour, at nine!
Amos n' Andy
And, speaking of radio. . . children
who have been born during the past
eight years will probably rememberto the end of their days, the antics
of Amos 'n' Andy. The famous pair
have just announced the end of their
long association with the Pepsodent
Company to take place New Year's
Day. Right now, they are looking
for a new sponsor,
Land of "Neve; Never"
In England, the creator of "Peter
Pan" has just taken the last journey
into the land of "never, never." Sir
James, Barrie is dead but, wherever
Christmas is observed and there are
children, his memory will be kept in
a little place apart from all the other
artists of his day. "Peter Pan" ranks
along with "Cyrano" , and "Hansel
and Gretel" of the children's Christ-
mas musical world. It is interesting
to know that children, whenever they
go to see their favorites, Peter and
Wendy, will be helping' others of
their kind. Some years ago, Barrie
gave the rights to Peter Pan to the
Great Ormorid Street Hospital for
Sick Children, in London, England.

Wealth of the farms
During the long years of the de-
pressien the farmers of the Dominion
suffered considerable loss and dis-
tress because the prices for farm pro-
ducts declined greatly and were out
of all proportion to the cost of the
commodities which they had to buy.
However, the agriculturists of Can-
ada, while they were somewhat dis-
couraged, kept up their fanning ac-
tivities and accepted its reduced re-
wards p'hilosophically. At last, how-
ever, they have witnessed the turn
sf the tide in their favor. The Do-
minion Department of Agriculture
has announced that the gross value
of farm production in Canada last
year exceeded $1,000,000,000. The
ac aal amount as estimated was $1,-
061,624,000, and represented an in
ereshe of $112,084,000 over the pre-
vious year, and an advance of $294
,000, or more than thirty-eight
per cent. over the yield of the low
year of the depression, 1932.
The gain was spread all over the
Dominion and benefiteed all the Pro-
vince. Ontario led with an increase
of $4,e00,000 and a total output of
854,3go,o00. It is somewhat grati-
fying to read that Saskatchewan,
parts of which have suffered so se-
verely from drouth for a number of
sears, came second with a gain of
*$22,000,000, and third in the total
&value of products, which was $181,-
751,000. All of the Provinces show-
ed very substantial increases. Al-
berta was fourth in the total value'
of commodities. In view of the diffi-
culties which have beset that Pro-
vince the showing is highly encourag-
ing. If the season is favorable, it
is expected that as a result of the
higher prices the farmers of the Do-
minion will receive still greater re-
turns in 1937. — Kingston Whig -

Three Men From Chicago To
Start at Guelph on Sunday ---
Seek $90,000,000. •
CHICAGO—A treasure hunt for
the fortune of the late Arthur W.
Cutten, Chicago grain speculator, re-
ported to have been hidden in Can-
ada,, starts, when three men leave for
Guelph, his birthplace.
Probate Judge, John F. O'Connell,
hasauthorized the search. The men
e- Attorney Dwight Omen; semen
senting the estate; Arthur Evans, a
trust officer for the American Na-
tional Bank, executor; and I: 3. Berk-
son, counsel for Harry A. Ash, a
'creditor, with a claim of $/58,000.
Cutten died last June 24, ending a
dazzling market career, during which
at one time it was said he controlled
a fortune of $100,000,000. He rose
to command the grain pits of the
Board of Trade, after starting life
as a $7 a week clerk.
But the liquid assets so far discov-
erable total only $400,000. Mr. Cut -
ten left his estate to his widow, the
former Maude Boomer of Chicago.
However, the Federal Government
has a claim of $1,300,000 in unpaid
income taxes and interest, and the
claims of other creditors total more
than the gross estate.
Soon after his death, Canadian
dispatches reported that the specu-
lator may have transferred $90,000,-
000 of his money to Canadian secur-
ities. If this is found true, Ontario
stands to collect about twenty mil-
lion dollars in inheritance taxes.
Ash, whose claim concerns a joint
market venture with Cutten, declared
tat a year before his death, Cutten
told him he had secreted the bulk of
his fortune elsewhere. For this
reason a search is being made among
bank and brokerage house records in
Chicago and New Yorkas well as in
dmacra.
,Cutten was born at Guelph, where
his body is buried. For many years
he contributed generously to the wel-
fare of that community.

"No Matter How Thin You Slice It — It's Still Boloney'
For the first time in almost ten years a man who looks like a real
fighter is wearing the heavyweight crown; for while attempts will 114-
doubtedl3r be made to belittle ,The Loutakes. And when, if and as he meets Maxie Sehmeling, we don't rilin
is, he seerns to have what
going out on the bough and predicting that Joe will take the German
like Wally took David.
Looking over the champs since Gene Tunney deemed that he
would rather have a million bucks and his senses than keep on until
his eggs got addled, it must be admitted that they are a fairly scurvy
crew,
* * *
First of all they elected Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling and
said that whichever of the two could win would be declared the boss
of the heavies. And the aroma of that fight still lingers on like the
perfume of a fish and chip emporium on a torrid July day,
That, in case you disremember, was the fight where the referee
awarded the duke to the German on a foul four minutes after he had
been knocked flat on his sit-down.
* * *
Then, six months later, the same New York Athletic Commission
—or Percentage—which had "elected' Maxie to the title dethroned
him because he refused to fight a return bout with Sharkey—and
half a year later nominated the latter as champion.
* * *
In 1932 this precious pair met again, and this time Mr. Sharkey
won a decision in 'fifteen rounds,
A year after than came the "fight" between Primo Carnera and
Sharkey at the Long Island Bowl, when the huge Italian was probably
the most astonished man present—which is saying a lot—when he
knocked Sharkey out with the breeze of a right uppercht by as far
as we personally are distant from being solvent.
* * *
Three years ago.this month—Maxie Baer—billed as Jack Demp-
sey the second, probably because he had the same number of eyes and
ears as the old Mauler, met big Primo, for the title. The big boy
from Mussoliniville. was -em and down like a penny stock—being
knocked down, or falling down twelve times in eleven rounds, a
fractured ankle very likely being of little help to him.
'5- * 5.
That made Mr. Baer --Heaven help us—holder of the crown for-
merly worn by Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Sohnson, Dempsey and
Tunney—a belly laugh if ever there wad one.
* * *
In June, 1935, for no good reason, Jimmy Braddock was tossed
in against Baer—and most folks though. it was similar to tossing a
juicy Christian to a starving Neronian lion. Braddock was supposed
to be all washed up—but he wasn't nearly as thoroughly washed up
Baer was burned out. And at the end of fifteen rounds Mr. Brad-
dock discovered himself—much to his own amazement no doubt—the
champion.
*
*
5.
Two years he held the title—about ,as unproductive a two years
as a champion ever spent—for his management didn't even seem to
have sense enough to gather a few pickings in the way of vaudeville,
moving picture, and exhibition ring engagements. It is said that the
$31,000 which Braddock earned for beating Baer has long gone the
way of all dough, and that he had bitten into Promoter Mike Jacobs
very heavily before Tuesday's fight—a bite which will, naturally, have
to be plastered out of the takings of the Comiskey Park brawl.
* * *
So now Joe Louis—"no black man will ever again be allowed to
hold the title"—is the boss of the heavyweights—and from present in-
dications 'should hold that title just as long as he cares to keep in
reasonably decent shape.
As we said before, attenn • 's will be made to belittle Louis and
his abilitiebartablisettehievements—mst as iessisste-^ ^ 7".`"

johnson in the opinion of mars, including the present -
the greatest heavyweight who ever drew on a glove.
But Joe is a real fighter—make no Inistage about that—and the
way he softened Braddock down, taking no chances on a stray shot,
and then lashing out so suddenly when the precise moment came,
was a real masterpiece.
