EVERY DAY LIN A WEEKLY TONIC by Dr. M. M. Lappin - WHAT IS YOUR STANDARD? What is your standard? Every- thing in life depends on that. Consider an extract from a tetter which lies on my deck before me now. It conies from a young man twenty-four years of age. He writes: "My peop:e have always been faith- ful to the church. Until now our dea- cons have all been older men, but recently another young man, about thirty, and myself—I am twenty-four, were elected deacons. An older man in the congregation thinks we ought not to have been put on the Board. Now he is trying to stir up trouble. 1 have aways believed him to be a good Christian, although he is very narrow and does not do some things that we would do. He says we are not fit to be deacons—yet 1 have never known anything but . the Christian life. What would you say or, do rf •you:, were in my place?" . There` is always something;to be said in -Sat:or' of:elder men on •church Boardt,.;becaitse of the mature exper_ fence of age. But 1 have seen Church Boards going to "dry rot" for want of some young blood. As for the old fellow who thinks these young fellows ought not to be on the Board, he should remember that their election was the voice of the Church or of the governing body of the Church, and be content to abide by that. Every man has a standard. Sonie men adopt false standards and think themselves to be a great deal better than they are. Indeed there are few men who are able to form a true estimate of themselves. Didn't Saint Paul counsel the Romans "Not to think more highly of themselves than they ought to think?" In every church there are those who do that. Unfortunately, there are of- ten those who encourage them. But what we need, not only in church, but everywhere, is to have a true es- timate of ourselves. A true estimate of ourselves will save us from mock modesty. It will also prevent us from developing an aggressive and over- bearing spirit. Determine your standard. Fix your ideal clearly in your mind—and make for that. That will determine char- acter. And, in the end, it is charact- er that counts.

A large amount of meat should be avoided, also fried food and pas- try. It is a good plan to take a small dose of milk of magnesia be- fore each meal. Drink lots of water, too. Green powder disguises redness of the skin very well and should be used where necessary. Much can be done by mental ef- fort to avoid the habit of flushing. Try to avoid thinking of yourself when in the company of others. Instead of wondering what they are thinking of you, try to interet your- self in the conversation and in the people with whom you are 'talking. Listen with interest to what they say. Soon you will be quite •at ease.

Issue No. 35 -- '35 Sits s's CUTWORMS Infesting Areas Of Southern Ontario. — Poisoned Bran Bait Being Applied. An unusual cutworm infestation is occuring in certain parts of southern Ontario. Reports of damage so far have come to hand from near Wel- laceburg, St. Thomas and Harrow. In the Wallaceburg district, says Geo. M. Stirrett, Dominion Entomological. Labtf2atory, Chatham, Ontario, the cutworms are leaving grain and clov- er fields and migrating into sugar - beet fields, Gorst. fields or adjacent crops.. In the Harrow district they have been reported on garden truck. So far, the most injury has occurred to sugar -beets. In several fields a few of the outer rows of beet plants have been stripped of their leaves and in some cases even the crown has been eaten. The larvae feed mostly at night and remain under clods of earth at the base of the plants in the daytime. On dull days some feed- ing occurs. From reports already received, it is thought that the insect is present in great numbers in many sections. There is no cause for alarm, how- ever, as all that is needed is the prompt application of the proper con- trol measure which is the application of poisoned bran to the fields where the cutworms are feeding or to the rows of sugar -beets or other crops. Poisoned bran bait is made by mix- ing ixing bran — 25 lbs.; Paris Green — 1.1b.; and molasses — 1 qt.; to which is added enough water to make the mixture moist and crumbly, but not wet. It generally requires about 21/ gallons of water for each 25 lbs. of bran. All ingredients should be thor- oughly mixed. The bait is then thin- iyssin ead on the sols along the sugars beet rows or broadcast over the fields where the cutworms are feeding. The bait must be applied in the evening so that it will be moist and attractive ,en the cutworms are active. They will not eat dried -out bait. In broad- casting, 25 lbs. of bran will treat from one' to one and a half 'acres, but when applied to rows of plants it will not do nearly as large an area. All that is needed is a small quantity of bait spread thinly along the plant rows. If the cutworms are very abundant, crops suall as sugar -beets should be proteeted by a dusty furrow, as is used in armyworm control. Plough a deep furrow around the field from which the cutworms are migrating, keeping the land -side of the furrow toward the crop to be protected. At - ter the furrow is ploughed, a log should be dragged back and forth in it until a good dust much is obtained. The larvae are unable to make their way up the steep dusty side of the furrow. If the worms are very num- erous, doles could be dug in the bot- tom of the furrow at short intervals. The worms will fall into these where they may be killed. Worms also can be killed as they enter the furrow by spreading poisoned bran bait along It edge. Poultry and livestock must be kept away from the areas where poisoned bait is used as they will readily eat it. Nature is helping considerably in the control of this cutworm as many of the cutworms are paraslted by a fly, the larvae of which lives in the body of the cutworm and kill it. Where crops are being destroyeclr however, a farmer cannot wait for Nature's slower remedy, but should apply poisoned bait promptly. There is an unfortunate disposit- ion n a man to attend much more to the faults of his companions which offend hint, than to their per- fections which please him.—Greville. Made Careful St dy Gtr wing Wild Process Winnipeg Free Press There is, at perhaps this minute, in a deep chair on a verandah at Lakewood, New Jersey, a figure with. in four years of a century, who looks like Rameses stripped of his mummy - like cloths, galvanized into life, and set upright in a rocking chair. His longevity is only one of the reasons why there have been more words than his billions written about John D. Rockefeller, Senior; who arrived at miliionair'edom so young that men new nearly eighty have heard him called the world's richest man since they were boys. He is no longer the world's only billionaire, having been joined on that eminence by Henry of the ubiquitous Ford. He is no longer among the masters of finance, having been in retirement • for twenty-four years; his last fin- ancial triumph having been to show Judge Landis, yes, even Czar Kene- saw Mountain Landis, that he would have to get up much eerier in the morning if he hoped successfully to fine John D. Rockefeller. After getting the Landis fine set aside—that was in 1911—John D. retired, to eschew all worry, eat bread and milk, drink three quarts of water daily, and play golf. He was then 72 and looked, to quote Ida M. Tarbell: "the oldest living man in the world—a living mum- my." That quotation from Miss Tar - bell is really the text of this article. It means that 72, when most men still look reasonably young, Rocke- feIler looked at least twenty years older than his age. He was ready for the grave then. But instead of going to the grave, he brought the fixed habits of his life, frugality and r egularity,„iuto perhaps the • most in- tense ,:concentrtion ever gsitnessed, upon the mere feat of keeping alive. Where older men have reached 96 by natural strength of constitution, Rockefeller has reached this age by a deliberate process of cultivating longevity. United States is going ahead with plans to pend $460,000,000 for a new navy, and one of the first steps was to provide for 1,032 more of- ficers to man the ships. A greater navy means a greater staff, and a greater staff means greater expense, and greater expense means greater taxation.
