ITERDOWN
1Rheumatisrn for 12 Years
Here is a letter that goes to prove
that even rheumatism of long stand-
ing can be relieved by the right treat -
'I have been a sufferer from
rheumatism for some 12 te 14 years
now and have foolishly taken no steps
to relieve it. iVfy particular form of
' rheumatism seemed to take the use
out of my hands and knees. The
latter would suddenly give way and
let me down unless a chair or table
I were handy. All at once, I determin-
ed to give Kruschen Salts a trial—a
bona fide trial—and now I feel a re-
created being. I can scarcely believe
' that so short a time ago I was hobbi-
t ing along with a stick."—(Mrs.) M.
L, P.
Kruschen is effective against rheu-
matism because its six salts stimu-
. late the liver and kidneys to regular
action. When these organs are work-
ing efficiently, they rid the body of
.excess uric add. And when uric acid
goes, those aches and pains go, too.
Perils of Highway.
If six persons were Wally injured
and fourteen badly hurt in a railway
collision, would there -not be a con-
siderable rumpus raised? Yet the six
who were killed in the Ohio highway
collision when a bus, trying to pass a
parked freight truck, ran head-on into
another truck are just as dead as if
they had. been killed in a railroad
smash-up. •
To the perils of the road have been
added the perils of the big freighters.
Huge bulks, carriers of heavy ton-
nage, they loom ahead of the driver
who approaches from the rear with
such enormous size that he has no
way of seeing the road ahead. This
is particulany true when a highway
freight train is parked at the side of
the road. In that fatal wreck at El-
yria, Ohio, the driver of the bus
sought to pass the parked freighter,
which was his right; but he could
not see far enough ahead to decide
whether the road was clear, and when
he could see, he had not enough time,
to cut in ahead of the parked machine'
and resume his own lane.
This situation calls for regulation.
Clearly there is responsibility some-
where for the death of six persons.
Highway fatalities already are so high
as to make the public road one of the
most unsafe places in the world.
Sooner or later, the whole question
Will have to be threshed out. If it
appears imperative that freight be
moved by motor vehicles, some sort
of private right of way, or toll road
should be provided. The public has
eopse right on its own highway which
private interests are bound to respect,

AN OCEAN TRIP
A voyage overseas is still a great
adventure; it may be—and often is
—the realization of the ambition of
a lifetime. Fortunate indeed is the
person whose dreams come true.
Sometimes there are months of
preparation and planning; just as
often decisions are quickly made and,
before ono is aware of it almost, s'ai-
ling day arrives and the journey ab-
road Commences,
• . The .Port '
, On arrival at the place of embar-
kation, the huge shed beside the ship
provides a scene of bustle and activ-
ity. On the dock, near the gangway
• is the booth where tickets •re sur-
rendered, your name is checked with
the passenger list—then you walk up
the sloping gang way and your feet
tread the boards of your. temporary
home for the next few days. A stew-
ard meets you in the square and you
are escorted to your room. But one
cannot stay there; there is too much
to see on deck, passengers arriving,
farewells and greetings being exch-
anged between those on deck and on
shore, luggage being lifted on board
and perhaps, in the bow, a car susp-
ended on high before being lowered
into the hold.
Suddenly there is the sound of a
bugle and visitors are warned to go
ashore; the orchestra plays on the
deck, there is an air of tense excite-
ment and the deckhands• take their
places in preparation for hauling in
the immense gangway. Just at his
time bell boys come, around with bas-
kets full of rolls of brightly coloured
paper ribbon. These are taken by the
passengers who, holding one end -of
the roll, throve the string ashore and
very soon the side of the ship is gay
with multi -coloured strands stretch-
ing from ship to shore.
While this is going on, the tugs,
that will draw the ship away from
the pier, have quietly tied themsel-
ves alongside. The siren blows, there
are last farewells and slowly but sur-
ely the space between ship and the
shore grows wider and wider until it
is able to dispense with the assist-
ance of the tugs and proceed under
her own power.
The River
This imaginary trip is leaving the
port of Montreal; in many -vays it
is more attractive than the port of
New York as th. begatifill St. l.aW-`
rence River provides something of in-
terest for nearly two days before we
strike the open sea.
The shore on both sides ox the St.
Lawrence, is dotted with French Ca-
nadian farmhouses. A lovely rural
district, reminding one, in many res-
pects, of Ireland with its small green
farms, laid out in long strips from
the shore, its white -washed houses
and the villages dominated by the
truction. In the past all the regula-
large church which •serves .the whole
community.
On the river itself, we pass the oc-
casional tramp steamer or another
ocean liner, majestically making its
way to Montreal, under the telpor-
ary command of one sif the river pi-
lots.
Passing Three Rivers we get a
glimpse of the city and the great
piles of pulpwood which feeds the
paper mills for which the place is
I BERMUDA AND WEST INDIES CRUISES
'4,1SStSSe
For the Summer and Fall vacation-
ists the Canadian National Steam-
ships have arranged their •summer
schedules in such a manner a's to pro -
an attractive varicty of cruises
to l3ortriuda and the Dritis West In-
dies.
Whilst many cruises start from
Halifax and Boston, those of particu-
,lar interest to residents of • Quebec,
,and Ontario •are the sailings of the
:popular "Lady Rodney" and "Lady
3orners" from Montreal to Jamaica
ind return to Montreal, calling en
route at Bermuda and Nassau at
which ports ample time is spent for
bathing and sightseeing. The round
trip to Jamaica occupies 24 days,
whilst for those who cannot afford
Lis time, the Bermuda Cruise of 11'
lays is available.

iners, which were built especially for

the West Indies service, are outside
rooms. The Line is noted for its
excellent cuisine, perfect service and
variety of deck sports and other en.
tertaimnent on board.
Bermuda and the West Indies are
ideal vacations as the temperature is
never too hot and the cool' evening
breezes make the atmosphere delight-
ful. The islands have now become as
popular in summer as in whiter,
The rates quoted for these cruises
are particularly attractive, figuring
as low as $6,50 per day for the
Jamaica cruise and an extra,concee-
sion of ten per cent. off special cruise
rates is allowed to all honeymoon
couples who sail within one week of
then wedding day.

famous, Further on there are more
villages and shrines—finally Quebec,
The Quebec Bridge
One of the greatest thrills, to he ex-
perienced is the optical illusion creat-
edwhen the ship passes under the
Quebec Bridge, This structure sur-
passes in magnitude and boldness any
cantilever bridge ever erected. Three
attempts were made to make this con-
necting link between the north and
south shores, the first two failing ac-
companied by great loss of life. Fin-
ally it was finished and opened by the
Prince of Wales in 1919. The total
length of the structure is 3240 feet,
the height of the steelwork above
high water, 150 feet and the estimat-
ed cost 15 million dollar—these are
but a few of the figures.
As we pass under the bridge and
look toward the towering masts of
the ship, it seems au impossible feat
to avoid striking the masts. Some
wags even go so far as to assure
nervous passengers that the masts are
collapsible. On we go and, even to the
most experienced the illusion, that the
mast will strike the bridge, is always
interesting. From every ventage point
passengers watch the approach and,
in spite of their faith in the success-
ful passage, they breathe a sigh of re-
lief when, serenely and inajestically,1
the tall masts pass under the immense
lacework of steel.
The Gibraltar of the New World
On our outward journey, we do not
put into the dock at Quebec, but lie
out in the stream until the tenders
bring passengers, mail. and goods. Du-
ring this Wait we have an opportunity
to see, on the heights, the second
greatest natural fortress in the world,
the magnificent Chateau Frontenac
and a wonderful panoramic view of
both the old and new town
Quebec was founded oy Samuel de
Champlain in 1608 and is, therefore,
entitled to its name "The Ancient Ci-
ty." It has preserved its French char-
acteristics and the narrow winding
streets, the fortifications, the histor-
ical landmarks never fail to intrigue
lovers of antiquity.
Across the river is the city of Levis,
also typically French aid.with close
connections with its bigger sister Que_

"Accident Addicts"
Cause The Trouble
Walter V. Bingham, in N.Y. Times
The vast majority of drivers rarely,
if ever, have accidents. A study was
made of the complete records of 5,000
men to see how many good, medium
and bad drivers there were. No less
than 63 per cent. of these motorists
came through a period of five years
without any accidents at ale
Another 24 per cent. had but one
each. Now a man who can drive a
car for five years under all kinds of
conditions without having a report-
able accident is certainly entitled to
be classed as A No. 1,
Even if he doe$ have a single 'ac-
cident, he is still quite properly rec-
ognized as a "good" driver. 'So, if
we regard the 63 per cent. who had
no accidents in five years as A-1 and
the drivers Who had'cinly one aeei-
dent as good, we have no less than
87 per cent, who are good operators.

it apparently inevitable that 30,000 of

ing each year thereafter? It is be -
Caine about 13 per cent. of the dri-
vers are accident addicts. These dri-
vers have accidents, not last year on-
ly, not this year only, but almost
every year. They will keep on hav-
ing accidents indefinitely, unless their
driving improves, or they are, taken
off the road, or they kill themselves.
"Unless their driving improves!"
It has been demonstrated that most
of these accident addicts—the "un-
lucky" 13 per cent.—can be cured of
their unsafe ways. It is not necessary
'permanently to refuse them the right
to drive. It is necessary to organize
the oversight, re-education and. follow-

picion of the beetles before but an
incident at Banff, Alberta, last sum-
mer confirmed suspicion.
The superintendent. of the fish
hatchery operated at Banff by the
Dominion DepartMent of Fisheries
was watching baby ,trout in a large
hatchery pond when, lo and behold,
he saw a two -and -a -quarter -inch

gerling longer than itself held firmly
in its mandibles! That happened to
be the only case actually observed in
which fry or fingerlings were cap-
tured by the beetles but there is rea-
son to believe that there were numer-
ety.

fish were destroyed. •

Banff staff in putting the beetle lar-

many physical and mental conditions

Simple goitre could be practically
eliminated, however, Dr. Sinclair bel-

pregnancy, and around the age of pu-
