s on a mother's health are many and
severe. Her own health trials and
her children's welfare exact heavy
tolls, while hurried meals, broken rest
and much indoor living tend to weak-
en hef. No wondLfr the woman at
home is often indisposed through
weakness, headaches, backaches and
-nervousness. Too many women ac-
cept these visitations as a part of the
lot of motherhood. But many and
varied as her health troubles are,
the cause is simple and relief at hand.
When well, it is the woman's good
blood that keeps her well; when ill
she must make her blood rich to -re-
new her health. The nursing mother
more than any other woman heeds
rich blood and plenty of it. There is
one way to get this good blood so
necessary to health, and that fs
through the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. These enrich the blood,
and through their use many weak,
ailing wives and mothers have been
benefitted. If you are ailing, easily
tired or depressed, it is a duty you
owe yourself and your family to give
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial.

Pills through any dealer in medicine

FIND LIVING COSTS ON FARM,
.FAR BELOW THOSE OF, TOWN
What is a farmer's • living—the
home-grown part of it—worth to
nim? Perhaps the comparison be-
tween the farmer's income and that
of the city worker would not seem
quite so unfavorable if this question
were answered. While living
probably differ somewhat between
Ontario- and Ohio, farmers here will
be interested in learning, what a far-
mer ' in that neighboring state reck-
ons his farm living to be worth. We
quote from The Country Gentleman.
"Suppose that Joseph Lang, of
Edoto County, Ohio, who lives on an
be bought at city prices. The. re-
sults were surprising.
"I visited about .half a dozen of
these satire farmers not long since,
to ask them just. what they had dis-
covered regarding the amount of the
farm living,' and' the farm of Joseph
Lang and his wife, who were able
to answer 'me specifically, was one
of the places I visited.
S'The Lange made as careful an
estimate as they could and found
that list year they had used forty-
two eniarts of whole milk a week,
or 2,184 quarts a year, which was
worth $136 at the farm, or $283.92
had it been delivered to their' door jn
Portsmouth. The fife dozen eggs a
week, or 260 dozen a year, had been
worth $92 at the farm and $117 in
town.
"On top of these, count in more
than 400 pounds of pork, round 100
chickens; twenty-five bushels of pota-•
toes, 150 heads of cabbage, 150 dozen
ears of sweet corn, .ten bushels of
tomatoes, fifty gallons ,of green
beans, twenty bushels of apples and
peas, and a lot, of other items, $144
for house fent in the country—worth
$360 in town—and their farm living
for 1922 amounted to Ism, at farm
prices.
• "But had they been living in town
the same things would have cost
them $1,071, as near as it could be
estimated."

Leaf Scorch or Molllsiose Described
and Treattnekb•or It Suggested.
Until recently the leaf spot of
strawberry, has been considered to
be the moat serious leaf disease of
the cultivated strawberry. During
the past three or ,four years a leaf
disease has been observed in straw-
berry plantations, and which seems
to be 'generally distributed through
the southern and eastern parts of the
Province. This disuse from its ap-
pearance cad be appropriately called
-'leaf scorch." Considering the fun-
gus responsible for the disease, it
can be 'designated "mollisiose." Dr.
R. E. Stone, of the Department of
Botany, Ontario Agricultural College,.
thus describes the disease and treat-
ment:
Symptoms of the Disease. , • '
In the spring, May and June, the
strawberry leaves become covered
with small, irregular, purplish spots.
The spots enlarge and coalesce' until
the whole leaf may become involved.
When the spots have become quite
large they turn ashy brown or dirty
grey in the center and. then small
fruiting specks or acervulae appear.
In these acervulae hyaline, two -celled
spores appear. These !!pores serve to
spread the disease to other leaves and
plants. Later, in July and August,
the entire leaves' dry up and the dis-
eased plants take on a scorched
appearance as though burned over
with fire. It is sot uncommon to see
whole beds present this appearance
and it becomes difficult to distinguish
the plants suffering from leaf scorch
from those severely injured by drouth:
and white grub injury.
Varieties Susceptible to the Disease.
Not alb varieties are equally sus
ceptible to the dieease. The moat
susceptible seems to be Clyde follow-
ed by Glen Mary, Havetland, Senator
Dunlop, New Williams in the order
given here.
Control.
9
Control measures have not been
worked out. From field observations
the following procedure would seem:
to be desirable:
Clean cultivation.
Removal and destruction of sill
dead leaves in spring.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture.
In setting out raspberries, black-.
berries, dewberries, and strawberrlese
young plants which grew the preced-
ing season are generally used, except
when they are planted in the au-
tumn. In that case plants of the
current season's growth are used.

try we should not hate expected this
point to be given much attention.
But there is another cause. that
his ,brought the moving: picture, in-
dust y'close to bankrpptcy. That Is
the .lavish productions of such men
as ('irimith and Cecil De Mille, who
seemed to be thinking out ways of
spending money so lavishly that•the
spectators would be thrilled. The
latter, for instance; is said to have
spent $2,000,000 on a picture called

artistic or intellectual point of view.
'Foolish Wives," which is also Iiter-
aey garbage„ cost $1,750,000 and Has
earned but little more than a million
dollars. Pictures -that absorb a mil-
lion dollars before they begin to earn
a dollar are not uncommon. though
it staggers one's imagination to con-
ceive any picture worth half that
sum. Another proposed ,improve-
provement is the abolition of the so-
called block. system by which own-
ers of picture houses had to buy
a group of films and were not per-
mitted to choose from among them
what they wanted. A return to the
legitimate stage on the part of those
movie performers who are competent
for this kind of work is also in pros-
pect.
MOVIE INDUSTRY IS UNDERGO-
ING A CHANGE
There is a revolution impending in
the moving picture industry which
aims to establish it on sound business
principles by drastically cutting the
salaries of the stars, and otherwise
reducing costs of production. Few-
er films will be produced, we are told
but they will be better films. This
is the second revolution that has
been produced in the business. The
'first was the development' of the
moving picture from the cheap, wild
west melodrama that played at ten
cent theatres into the million dollar
film that had special theatres built
in which to produce it. We have
seen en Toronto in the past few days
a theatre/remodelled or improved
which will present a picture twice
daily in competition with the regular
theatre. There are many such thea-
tres in the United States at which
the charge for seeing a moving pic-
ture is just as greatas the. admission
fee for a production of Shaw or
Shakespeare. But it has been dis-
covered that these theatres cannot
be made to pay unless there is a
great reduction in production costs.
The trouble with ' the -business
apparently, is that for the- movie fan
the play is not the thing at all. It
is the star who makes the pictures
popular, Therefore, producers had
to meet the mounting demands of
the stars. We presume that a fine
and popular picture made by artists
of whom the public never beard has
never been created. If'one company
did not meet the salary demands of
a particular favorite he or she could
go to a rival company which would
naturally' expect to be recouped for
the advanced salary through the
additional custom that the favorite
would draw, Up to a certain point
this expectation was justified. But
obviously there wss a limit, There
came a , time when the increased
salaries and costs of production
failed to show the producers a pro-
fit. That time came several months
ago, and in self defence they have
determined to cut salaries, cancel
contracts and curtail the making of
new pictures. in fact, the.inthletry
has been on a general sp4`nding spree
and is now"trying to sober up.
Some Big Salaries. .
Here are some of the salaries said
to be paid film stars. according to

THE LORD MAYOR FOOLED
Sir William Soulsby, who has been
secretary to nearly fifty Lord Mayors
of London. tells the following story:
One day a certain Lord Mayor boast-
ed in the presence of a girl friend of
his daughter's, who was his guest,
that he had never been swindled or
"taken in" in the course of a long
life. The next morning an old end
poor Irish peasant woman appeared
at the Mansion House, and in a rich
broque asked Mr. Soulsby—as he
then was—if she could see the Lord
packet
Yd
Mayor,
I "obtained an interview for her,"
says pir William, "all' the while, of.
course, ignorant of her identity. Af-
ter she had been with the Lord Mayor
about ten mutes, I was called in ahs
told to give the poor old soul a five -
pound note to relieve her distress.
"At luncheon the same day. tie,
lordship was telling his family and
the visitor all about the- poor Irish.;
woman and the heartrending tale she
told him. The young lady listened
with eyes moist with sympathy to
the pathetic story. Then, at the
conclusion, she drew from her purse
the five -pound note and, with a mock
curtesy, showed it to him, with the
words, in a delicious Irish brogue:
"Heaven bless your lordship for your
kindness to a poor sow)."
"You should have seen his face!
He never made that boast again. And
to this day the young lady treasures
the note which she wheedled out of
him."
