So 1l is not surprising that, having freed herself from. the complaint, she dances and plays with children now when she Is 30. This isher own description of how *he transformed her life:—"I first had rheumatism at 12 years of age. Three years ago I had to be carried upstairs at night. 1 also had rheumatic fever. Then I took Kruschen Salts. Thanks to it I am now A.1, and dance and play with the children, Tho Kruschen bottle is always on our table and I take a small dose in every cup of tea or coffee. So if I forget it in one, I still get the benefit in another. I am now 30 years of age and feel younger," —(Mrs,) P. M. R. Rheumatism has its origin in intestinal !Stasis (delay) --a condition of which the sufferer is seldom aware. It means fhe unsuspected accumulation of waste matter and the consequent formation of dangerous body poisons. These poisons not only :. feet your joints with rheumatism a n d gout, they infect Your heart; they in- fect your teeth; they dull your brain; they slacken your ,,t:w •:. nerves; theypre- pare the way for many obscure conditions of 111. health, Kruschen Salts is Nature's recipe for maintaining a condition of internal cleanliness. The six salts in Kruschen stimulate your liver and kidneys to smooth, regular action. Your, inside is thus kept clear of those impurities which, allowed to accumulate, lower the whole tone of the system. Krus- chen works directly upon your blood- stream, too, infigorating it so that it floods every fibre -df you with tingling energy. Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all drug Stores at 45e. and 750. per bottle. Why G ienland's Barren Area Is ighly Valued By Denmark There was jubilation in Denmark 1 and cryolite, with small quantities of copper and some asbestos, and enough coal to supply part of the inhabitants' needs. The cryolite production in 1930 was about 35,000 tons. Other main products of Greenland were 4,500 tons: of fish (principally cod) and various by-pro- ducts; 2,300 tons of blubber and shark liver; 6,250 blue or white fox furs, and 20,000 other furs, including bear and seal skins. Exports from Greenland in 1930 totaled 10,742,000 kroner (a krone is 26.8 cents at par), and were made up as follows: Crylite, 8,155,000; codfish, 1,339,000; furs, 210,000; fish oil, 694,- 000; eiderdown, 53,000. Imports total- ed 3,192,000 kroner; they consisted ..of provisions, tobacco, textiles, woodwork and some coal, For .a region as large as Greenland this record of production and trade is little to boast of. Still, so colorful a place is Greenland, so useful has it been for the study of ice conditions and as a haven for storm -driven marin- ers, so closely is it linked with Danish history, and so sanguine are predic- tions that it may serve as a station in aerial transportation between Europe and America, that the Danes are more than happy to own it. last week when the World Court an- nouncer its verdict that Greenland be- longed to the Danes and not to the Norwegians, who had built settlements ran the eastern coast of that ice -clad d since 1931. Greenland is Den - ark's only colonial possession, and though it has little commercial im- Vortance, it has size and scenic won- ders enough to inflate Danish pride of Ownership. The island covers an area of 827,275 square miles, and is thus more than one-fouth the size of the ' United $tater. Its inhabited area along the a�oasts—mostly the west coast—is only `46,750 square miles, or not quite the size of New York State, but Is nearly three times as large as Denmark it- tielf. 1 In 1930 the population of Greeaa.land totalled only 16,630, of whom 408 were Danes and the rest natives.

This decree would reduce thle number of freign musician`s permit - !ted to perform for profit to 10 per 'Cent. of the total number employed kin each place of entertainment. [Though this decree applies only to iiiusicians outside the theatres, it is R li'elieved to foreshadow similar acen in the case of theatrcal per- formers and other entertainers. f . The decree states that the propor- tion of musicians employed in or- restras of hotels, cafes, cabarets, estaurants and other places where £ iod and drinks are sold as well as IAA dance halls shall be affected by e ruling. The different establish- = tints are given a period of two Months to comply with the order, AAroducing the number of foreign mu- • eicians to 30 per cent. within two weeks, to 20 per cent. at the end of it month and 10 per cent. after two land onehalf months. t The ruling contains one loophole which will aliov certain exceptions. ,it is stipulated that in the case of usicians who play special musical instruments typical of their own countries, or who sing in foreign iiguages, and whose replacement or these reasons by French artists ouid be impractical, the Ministry Labor may authorize an increase n the quota of foreign performers to the proportion of 30 per cent. Up to . the present time here has ! bean no exact restriction on on the number of foreign musicians employed in Paris, aside from the fact that all foreign entertainers were obliged to obtain permits to work in France from the Ministry of Labor. That regulation still af- 'reds all foreign entertainers ap- pearing in France. . French Cameroon Colony Curbs Sleeping Sickness Paris.—France has achieved another colonial victory. The Cameroon has mastered sleeping sickness. Trypanosomiasts, or sleeping sick- ness, made its appearance as a specific disease in 1901 throughout southeast- ern German Africa, the French and Belgian Congos and the Cameroon. It was found also in West French Africa, on the Gold Coast, in Nigeria and the Togo. A German mission, which went to Africa in 1913, made the first attempt to combat the mysterious malady sys- tematically. The World Weer, however, interrupted the work and little was done until 1916, when French scien- tists, alarmed at the spread of the dis- ease, resumed the experiments left off by the Germans. It was Trot until 1922, however, that the work was properly organized and sufficient personnel and backing were available. Under the leading ,scientist, Dr. Jamot, a study of the malady was undertaken in French Equatorial Afri- ca. At the end of 1931 sleeping sick- ness was virtually under control in the entire region.

MOWN o Not Think Their Equal Can Be Found For Children" "I have BABY'S OWN TABLETS in the house continually—I would not be without them. 1 have given them to each of my four children from earl- iest,infancy. One of the reasons why X value BABY'S OWN TABLETS so highly is because they can be given with pdfect safety to even the young- est infant. 1 have recommended there to dozens of Mothers. For children's ailments I do not think their equal can be found." So writes Mrs. Doug- las Blockader, Hebron, N.S, -- and many other Mothers relate similar ex- periences in treating their children. BABY'S OWN TABLETS are recom- mended by grateful Mothers for teeth- ing fevers, colds, colic, constipation, disordered digestion and sleeplessness. The Tablets are inexpensive, easy to take and thoroughly reliable. And they are absolutely SAFE for even the youngest or most delicate child. See certificate of analysis in each 25 -cent package" DR.

This high - velocity air stream will be a valu- able by-product of England's newest airplane wind tunnel. Its purpose will be to test rifle bullets and Iarger projectiles after the manner of lab- oratory experiments on heavier-than- air planes. The British National Physical Lab- oratory has just completed experi- ments on this new compressed air tunnel. Model planes are suspend- ed in its under air at twenty atmos- pheres pressure. Swift -moving pro- pellers drive This compressed air against the models and scientists can discover essential data on plane de- sign. To Test Bullets When experiments on such plane models are finished a large amount 0f compressed air is on hand. It is proposed to release this through a smaller tunnel, at much higher speeds, and test the action of this wind on projectiles, both large shells and rifle bullets. One thing of vital importance is to determine the amount of "drift" of a bullet due to crosswinds which it en- counters in its flight. It is hoped also to improve the range of a bul- let or shell by studies of different designs. Scientists have long had equations for predicting the •amount of "drift" for various wind velocities. This "drift" is allowed for when aiming the gun outside of actual gunfire these equations have never been given real tests. The speeds invot- Ted are too high. With the new tunnel, and its 700 - mile -an -hour wind, the velocities be- gin to become comparable with the muzzle velocity of a bullet. In the e' project it seems possible to avoid real gunfire trials and let the air rush by the shell instead of the projectile rushing through the air. To measure the "drift" on a bullet it will only be necessary to turn the stationary bullet at some small angle with the wind stream. Plans call for the suspension of the projectile in i the tunnel with - automatic electric 1 recording instruments attached which 1 will tell the effect of wind forces. 1 To Study Motion Problems Measurements in the new projectile tunnel will attempt to solve some of ,bei more' pressing problems of what ' is rt:lied external ballistics. This branch. of apliiied physics involves the motion of a projectile after it leaves the gun. • ' The effect' of air on a bullet rush- • ing through it does many things. It Is co aiilieated by the fact that a bul- let or shell is not truely "stream- ! lined." Its pointed end Is foremost, ",rid instead of tapering away at the rear it is cut off square.

As early as 1742 attempts were made to measure the "drag" of air on projectiles. • The ballistic pendulum was devised in this era and gave scientists a way of determining the velocity of impact. Hutton, in 1775, improved on these experiments and found that the drag increased great- ly for speeds over 1,100 feet a second. All such tests necessitate actual gun are. France, .in 1917, began ex- periments on projectiles •mounted in wind -tunnels with the air moving by them rapidly. Their work was a forerunner of the contemplated Ted- dington tests. Similar experiments have been made In England and America before this, but never on the maguitude of the latest project. The compressed air for the Eng- lish experiments is available because i`. has been. found, In wind -tunnel tests on airplane models, that to give comparable results the air should be twenty times as dense es normal, These wind -tunnel tests for models, then, are carred out at twenty at- mospheres' tmospheres' pressure with swift -mov- ing propellers blowing the dense air at the airplane model.

A certain wholesaler who had a lot of trouble in getting a certain small- town retail client to pay his bills final- ly lost patience and wrote the mer- chant a threatening letter. He re- ceived the following reply: "Dear Sir: What do you mean by sending me a letter like that? Every month I plate all my'bilis in a basket and then figure out how much money I have to pay on niy accounts. Next, I blindfold my bookkeeper and have her draw out as many bilis from the basket as I have money to pay. If you don't like my way of doing business I won't even put your billls in the basket." "What's the matter with her?" "I think her dinner disagreed with her," "Well, I certainly admire its cour- age." A well-known writer visited a jail to take notes for an article on prison life. On returniug home he described what he had seen, and his descripton made a deep impression on the mind fo his little daughter. A 'week later the writer and his little girl were in a train which stopped at a station near a gloomy building. "What is that place?" asked a pas- senger. "The county jail," .nother answered promptly. Whereupon Mary embarrassed her father and aroused the suspicion of the other passengers by asking in a loud, shrill voice: "Is that the jail you were in, Daddy?" Two small girls were playing to- gether one afternoon at the hone of one of the girls. "I wonder what time it is?" said one of them at last. "Well, It can't be 4 o'clock yet," re- plied the other with magnificent logic, "because my mother said I was to be hone at 4—and I'm not."
