The ladies in the party Will, if present plans materialize, dress in the cote tume of the French province from which their ancestors calm;, thus lending a touch of romance to what •promises to be a very colorful meet- ing. While local festivities will be ar- ranged' at different points on the coast and the Bale de Cbaleurs, ex - leered by the, great discoverer, • the main cerebration will take place at Gaspe, in presence of a large delega- tion of Canadian officials and many distinguished Frenchmen, including Members of the Chambre des deputes, Fand French Academy and descend- ants of families whose names are in- timately connected with the early history of Canada. The delegation from France will travel to Gaspe dir- het on the "Champlain," palatial Steamer of the French Line. which will be anchored in Gaspe Bay from where. the first contingent of Cana- dian Troops left for France In the fall of 1914.

HOT WATER. AND LEMON EXCELLENT MORNING HABIT Flushes the System and Good for the Nerves — Helps to Relieve Constipation $ BY "130N SANTE" Writers on health tt,pics are say- . ing a .ot these days about the value of taking hot water with a dash of I lemon jwce every morning, It is sound advice, as nothing flushes the sys- tem better than hot .water and the lemon juice aids the, process as well as providing an excellent tonic for the system and the nerves Taken first thing in the morning, one dr two cups followed by a few minutes exer- cise constitutes excelienr aids to good health Hot water and lemon at other times during 'tie day is never a mistake. In fact it is an excellent thing if one experiences any discomfort after eat- ng, and is particularly valuable in relieving constipation. Tap water is always very refreshing, but hot wat- er, if available, has a better effect upon the system. While we should not like to go so tar as to advocate no tea or coffee, it is well-known that experts all frown upon any excess of these two delicious beverages, and certainly there are times when hot water and lemon would make a much more dee. irable drink from a -health stand- point.

Chemical -weed kill- ers illers afford an easy means of destroy- ing small patches of certain persist- ent perennial weeds and of killing many roadside weeds, ROTATION BEST Chemical weed killers, however, can never take the Place of good farming, including a suitable crop rotation, thorough cultivation and the maintenance of the fertility of the soil, The chemical weed killers -with a sodium chlorate base have proved most effective, but their cost in most cases prohibits their use on large areas, Some of them, however, are now used effectively, and it is claim- ed, economically, to destroy weeds on roadsides. Results of the experiments conduct ed at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege indicate that sodium chlorate can be used economically to destroy large areas of ox -eye daisy and wild carrot in pasture fields. Never use pure sodium chlorate any place where there is danger of fire, and observe great care in handling it. It is more dangerous than gasoline. It is highly inflammable and under some conditions explosive. Experiments have shown that the following weeds can be destroyed by using a chemical weed killer with a sodium chlorate base: Perennial sow thistle, wild. carrot, ox -eye daisy, orange hawkweed, blueweed, field bindweed, wild chiory, twitch grass, poison ivy and Canada thistle, BEST SOLUTION In using chemical weed killer with a sodium chlorate base the solution should be made by dissolving half a pound of the weed killer in a gallon of water. This solution should be applied at the rate of approximately one gallon to• 100 square feet. Perennial sow thistle can be de- stroyed by spraying the patch twice with a solution of a weed killer with a sodium chlorate base. Make the first application when the flower buds are well formed, but before any color is showing. Follow this with a second application about a month later. Blueweed, burdock, wild carrot, orange hawkweed and ox -eye daisy can be destroyed with one ap- plication of a weed killer with a sod- ium chlorate base. Spray these weeds a day or two after the first blooms have appeared, Field bindweed and wild chicory re- quire to be sprayed twice with, a weed killer with a sedium chlorate base. Spray the bindweed first when it is in hill bloom and again about two months later eprn.y llw chicory the The; more than ever, Nature needs the assistance, about twice each week, of a Purifying, J nergiy!ng,Bffervescing glass of _In TINS -35e raid 40c NEW, LARGE BOTTLE, 75c a Issue No, 28—'34 first time just when its commences to bloom and a month later. Twitch grass is one of the most difficult weeds to eradicate with chemicals. It requires to be sprayed three times wits'a weed killer. Give the first application just as the twitch grass comes into ear, the second when two inches of new growth have appeared, and the third a month later, When three applications of the weed killer have been made there will be a residual effect upon the crop the next year, but this will not be noticed the second year after treatment. CANADA THISTLE Canada thistl, can be destroyed by scattering over the patches sodium chlorate crystals at the rate of a pound to 100 square feet. This should be done after a heavy frost in the fall. Poison ivy can usually be destroyed by giving one application of a weed killer with a sodium chlorate base any time during the growing season. If the plants are sprayed during the early summer some new growth may appear in the fail, thus making nec- essary a second application. In ex- ceptional cases, where the poison ivy plants are very old and woody, an- other application may be necessary the following spring. When working with poison ivy. gloves and rubber boots should be worn. Weeds in driveways, paths and ten- nis courts can be eradicated by giving a heavy application of a weed killer with e, sodium chlorate base. The solutioe should be made by dissolving three pounds of the weed killer in one gallon of water, and it should be ap- plied at the rate of approximately one gallon per one hundred square feet. It is well to bear In mind that all weed killers should be used with great care near trees and valuable shrubs or other vegetation. These may be seriously injures if weeds near them are sprayed heavily with a weed killer. PRECAUTIONS NEEDED While it is claimed that weed kill- ers with a sodium chlorate base are not poisonous, it is advisable to keep livestock away from sprayed pastures or treated areas of weeds until such have received a heavy shower of rain. As a precautionary measure keep plenty of salt available to the live- stock as sodium chlorate has a flavor very similar to common salt. , The best results from chemical weed killers cannot be secured by ap- plying with an ordinary sprinkling can. .'hey should be applied with a sprayer that delivers the solution in the form of a fine spray ander press- rre, 700 -Year -01d. Custom The picturesque village of Briavels, in the Forest of Dean, was the scene on Sunday evening of a time-honored custom which perpetuates certain rights enjoyed by the inhabitants of the parish for more than 700 years. The occasioen was the annual distri- bution of bread and cheese after the rervice in the. cliul'ch on Whitsunday evening. The origin of the custom .is some: what obscure, bat the privileges it commemorates date back to the 12th century, when a grant of woodland was made to the inhabitants of the parish of St. Briavels, The parishoners of St. Briavels have the right t;i this clay to cut and take all the timber they require for ; their own domestic use from the woodland known at Hudnalis. The cost of providing the bread and cheese in defrayed by a collec- tion among the parishoners. As the worshippers left the bread and cheese —cut in small dice and carried In baskets—'wets thrown in handfuls to the waiting crowd congregated on Church Tump.—London Times, NOW A THICKER, HEAVIER PLUG FOR THE SAME MONEY! you want a longer -lasting Cpdew, gett— THE PERFECT Chewing Tobacco Putting on Front Children Are Not Naturally Sensitive About Scarcity of Money so Don't Lay Too Much Stress on it Our greatest curse is paying too much attention to what people think. We make any sacrifice to the great god "front." Many of our homes are, if dot actually whited sepulchres, at least one color on the outside and an- other on the inside. Think it over—isn't almost the closest thing to aur hearts the desire to create an impression with our neighbors, Naturally, we have a certain pride, and we also cherish a strong feeling for privacy, both admirable and for- givable enough at most times. But when they begin to interfere with the truth, honesty, and direct living, then they .are costing too much and cease to be virtues. Losing Child's Self -Respect Ong of the many tolls they take is the self-respect of our children. And it is deplorable that many' par- ents who won't condone a lie at any other time, demand that their families go out and tell fairy tales about home, Joni Smith needs new tires on his car, HP hasn't been able to use it for a month. "Remember, Jack," he warns his son, "If Mr. Jones says anyrhinr about the car, tell him I hurt my foot and can't drive it." Or Mrs. Smith is doing her own wash'ng, "Mary, it Mrs Jones says anything, tell her Eliza is sick and I won't have hely one else about." Children hate these lies. Yet we always think of them as allies, that they, too, are sensitive about money scarcity. As a matter of fact, they are not—not unless we make them so. Loan times have had one good re- sult; they have made us a brother- hood in trouble. It is not as import- ant today what Mr and Mrs. Jones think as it was a few years ago. We are pretty sure Chet the Joneses are worried too. But the habit hats been rather deep ly set and in spite of the crumbling of falai standards, we cannot seem to get away from its evils.

When the victory was being celebrated, the proprietor of the cafe asked the champion if he would play with his little boy, Magnanimously and with no little amusement the champion consented. They brought out the boy, a grub- by little fellow, six years old, hard- ly as high as the table. Propping him up with cushions the professor laugh- ingly began the game. After a few moves the little chap laughed and clapped his hands, and said, "Hey mister, you're going to lose your queen," and a few more moves and he did. The professor then began to play in earnest, and it looked serious for the boy, till his father said to him, "If you win I'll give you 20 cents." The boy then set to work and when the game was over the champion was beaten and the 20 cent was in the boy's pocket. — Halifax Chronicle.
