Made by Kellogg in London, Ont. ALL -BRAN nearly all public speakers, and this particularly applies to clerg sen, do less than justice to newspapers,. If they wish to read an extract from a newspaper, they commonly intred,'uce the matter by saying: "I saw in one of the papers the other day, etc." Or they will remark: "As a well known newspaper writer remarked recently, etc." It is rarely indeed that they will say; "I read in the Toronto Telegram last night," or "As Mr. R. E. Knowles says in the Toronto Star." This, we submit, is something less than fair treatment to the papers and the writ- ers. If the name of the paper or the writer is known to the speaker he should not be afraid to mention it. How would it look to a clergyman if the report of the sermon in Mond'ay's paper began thus: "As a popular To- ronto clergyman said yesterday in a well known church, etc."? It would look, indeed, like some monstrous cross between 'blasphemy and libel. We are aware that public men read many things whose source they do not remember. But we believe if the things are important enough to be quoted, they are important enough to be traced to their source and the auth- or of them given whatever credit may be his due. Having said this we per- ceive the inconsistency of saying that in New York a few days ago a clergyman electrified his congregation by quoting from The New Yorker and mentioning that charming paper by name and with enthusiasm. We regret that we do not know the name of this clergyman and have no way of finding it out at the moment. But as nothing is much more unlikely than that his eye will fall upon this article he will not know that his generous treatment of the New Yorker has been so ungenerously recorded, with no mention of his name to illumine the chronicle. We believe also that when speakers quote lines of poetry they 'should name the source. If they do not know the source they should discard what they were about to quote and quote something else whose author- ship they are aware of, even if it has no bearing whatever upon the rest of .the speech. As a matter of fact, few of their quotations have. JACK THE RIPPER SEEN AT HIS , ician.

One evening in his study he was suddenly possessed of the feel - advisable for the Liquor Control Board to make another statement or investi- gation. Until this is done we shall clock pointing to 12.40, which was closing time. Mr. Lees then picked up the vision of the man and woman. Suddenly he saw the man seize his companion by the throat, draw a knife and inflict horrible stabs and slashes upon her. She fell to the ground. The murderer, whose shirt was covered with blood, slipped on his overcoat, buttoned it up, and vanished. When Mr. Lees struggled put of his horrible trance he hurried to Scotland Yard to repeat what he had seen. Naturally his ravings were not treated with much respect. But on the following night the murder oc- curred in precisely the circumstances that Mr. Lees had described. The po- lice were astonished. We also are as- tonished that they did not suspect Mr. Lees of having been concerned in the crime. Mr. Lees might have lent col- or to their suspicions by abruptly leaving the country for France, his nerves shattered by his experience. The murders continued while he was abroad but he had no intimation of them. Some time after his return he was on a bus one day with his wife. His eye fell upon a fellow passenger and he turned pale. "It's Jack the Ripper," he whispered to his wife. But she in wifely fashion told him not to make a fool of himself. Mr. Lees, however, insisted that this was the face he had seen in his vision and be told his wife he would follow the manpublication, are not misquoted by re- porters. Nor are all public men in er- ror who angrily declare that they have been misrepresented. Practically all their speeches are necessarily con- densed. If this process is not done with great skill it sometimes hap- pens that what is omitted would ser- iously modify what is published, and therefore a false impression of the whole speech is given. The only rem- edy- we see for this is that public nen should speak more briefly and to the point. Then the newspapers could !afford to print them verbatim. The truth is that public men, however ex- perienced, will frequently make re- marks that have not been pondered, and when they see them in print they immediately recognize them as be- longing to that important category of things which had been better left unsaid. It is then their privilege to issue a supplementary statement cor- recting or explaining what they said. That is the decent thing to do. Some of them, however, seek to throw the responsibility for their own incaution upon the reporters. But this becomes moreand more dangerous, since re- porters have cultivated the unpleas- ant habit of vindicating themselves as honest men.

The im'ntedit ate task, as he saw it, was to drive Spain •mit of South America. Then the former provinces could become in- dependent republics, This work he achieved in so far as Venezuela, Co- lumbia, Ecuador and Peru were 'con- cerned, and it was true of the new re- public which he founded, and which was named in his honor, Bolivia. In the meantime the same process was going forward in the south under the leadership of San Martin. The two great liberator„ met and planned unit- ed action. 'Bu' they found each other uncongenial and fell apart, each to pursue his separate detiny. Some of the battles in which Boli- var fought were among the bloodiest, considering the number of men en- gaged, in history. They were often hand-to-hand encounters with men by the thousand locked in personal com- bat over the whole field of carnage. In one of them, at Junin, which help- ed the emancipation of Perus, cavalry only were engaged. Not a shot was fired while the fight lister. The issue was decided by sabres. What had hap- pened to other patriots happened to Bolivar. He would win military vic- tories and establish a republic. Leav- ing it in charge of a congress be would proceed to Sisk other victor- ies, while in the congress mean jeal- ousies of him would show their head and he would be hampered in every possible way. Finally, in disgust and bitterness at the ingratitude whicti had been his portion, he left his native land, vowing never to return. He goi as far as the coast of New Granada, where illness struck him down. Ile found shelter in the home of an ad- mirer, and here with two or three friends he spent the few remaining days of his life, dying at last, one might say, of a broken heart. struggle had been worth the toil, "I have plowed the sea," said Bolivar. That has not been the verdict of posterity, though South America to- day remains far indeed from what his earlier dreams had pictured. It is an ominous fact that in the very year in which the -Observances in his honor are taking place, four of the five independent nations which he estab- lished have had revolutions. South America seems far removed indeed from the time when its Governments will be changed like , Anglo-Saxon Governinents. Whether these recur- ring outbreaks are a result of a par- ticularly, untameable and undisciplin- ed Spanish spirit, or whether the In- dian admixture with Spanish blood has produced an amalgam which is intolerant of restraint of any kind we do not know. To -day it might almost be said of them as Bolivar said, "They have liberty, but what else?" They have apparently little respect for their own institutions, and grafters and despots seem to arise as frequently . as they did in thedays before Boli- var devoted his life to the cause of their independence. Simon Bolivar was born in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, on July 24, 11783. He was of the Spanish aristo- cracy, a man of great wealth, heir to vast coffee plantations and troops of slaves. One would have supposed that his natural sympathies would have been with Spain. But one so suppos- ing would have been ignorant of his- tory, which shows that as a rule the leader of a revolt comes from the aris- tocracy against which the revolt is led. The tyrannies and exactions of Spanish governors caused him to join the party which was insisting that Venezuela shoul manage her own af- fairs and that the money raised by taxes in Venezuela should be spent for her benefit rather than for the benefit of Spain. To this general pro position, he dedicated his life and his Oddly enough it was the announce- ment that the • Prince of Wales through indisposition would be unable to attend a dinner in honor of the memory of Bolivar that called the at- tention of most of us to the fact that a great anniversary had arrived.

He had wrested from Spain five provinces, each of which had achieved its political independ- ence. Ta the south he saw the other great liberator, San Martin,• achieve what he had achieved in the north. The power of Spain from the western hemisphere had all but departed when officials not, apparently, being aware of the fact that it is no longer safe to deny statements with the mere in- dulgent assertion that reporters were hard up for news and had to manu- facture something. It does happen sometimes that a reporter, through a mistaken sense of kindliness to some public man he hap- pens to like, provides a loophole through which the public man can es- cape the consequences of his rash ut- terances. A year ago something of. the kind happened in the Ontario Leg- islature, when a reporter, to help an honorable member out of an awkward position, wrote him a private correc- tion, which, to the dismay, was im- mediately made public, with the con- sequence that he lost his job. In con- nection with the same affair a medi- cal man granted an interview to a reporter, speaking in the natural heat of the moment. But, when he saw it in print an hour or two later, he was shocked and immediately denied that he had said anything remotely resemb- ling what was attributed to him. He also threatened to take action against the newspaper. But the paper made no withdrawal or correction. The doc- tor took no action. The incident is of no importance, so we refrain from re- calling names. It can be accepted as a general rule that public men. or men speaking for Elie did so, and when he met a con- stable, asked him to arrest the mur- derer. The policeman was more in- clined to arrest Mr. Lees, and while they were arguing the stranger dis- appeared. That night Mr. Lees had another clairvoyant seizure in which he saw all the horrid details of an- other murder. This time the final dis- fig-urement was the cutting off of one ear of the victim, while the other was left hanging by a shred. Once more he hurried to Scotland Yard. This time more attention was paid to him for the inspector in charge of the case had just received a post card in which the murderer promised that he would . signify his handiwork on his next Victim by cutting off one of her ears and leaving the other almost severed. This proved to be the ninth Murder; and the woman was found elfactly as Mr. Lees had foreseen. The tenth murder was reported to Scot - triad by Mr. Lees before it had teen discovered.

Sowing the fertilizer in direct con- tact with the seed is responsible for injury to peas, beans and other gar- den crops. In dry weather, these losses are unusually severe, although the practice is also nearly always reflect - in lowered yields. If fertilizer is applied correctly, on the other hand, it will have just the apposite effect. The safest iplan is to apply as a sep- arate operation, either as a side -dress- ing or first dissolving it in water and applying in liquid form. Last season, the writer secured very satisfactory results from an ordinary high-grade nixed commercial fertilizer. In the case of potatoes, tomatoes, corn and similar vegetables, a scant handful was dug in beneath each hill, care be- ing taken to see that the fertilizer did not come in direct contact with the seed. With beans, peas, carrots, lettuce and such things the fertilizer was applied at the time of seeding at the rate of about a small handful to the yard of row. A few weeks lat- er, when growth had nicely started an application of a straight nitrogen fer- tilizer was given to those leafy vege- tables like spinach, lettuce, celery and cabage. Great Variety in Peonies. Most of us consider the wonderful peony a flower of a very short bloom- ing period. Such, however, is not nec- essarily the case. With literally scores of varieties from which to choose, we can, by selecting early, medium an. late -blooming types, prolong the flow- ering season easily for a full month. In the white varieties alone there is a period of almost a fortnight be- tween the blooming of the earliest and the latest, and there is practically a different date of opening for all well- known types. One is well advised to study these various varieties in the catalogue, noting particularly dates of blooming, as well as color, and make selections accordingly. In a few weeks, when these flowers will be at their hest, it is also a good plan to visit gardens and jot down the names of those we fancy most. Vines. .John F. Clark, Lecturer in Horti- culture, with the Ontario Department of Agriculture, suggests that more climbing vines be used to hide un- sightly places. These, he says, should be planted much more extensively a- long the highways and around church- es, schools and other rpublic buildings. Hardy vines give a finishing touch to the home, too, by softening its harsh outlines.

The circn- lar gives brief but definite informa- tion about this work. For the past two years demonstra- tion plots have been placed on a num- ber of farms along the highways from Windsor and Sarnia to Toronto, and this work will be repeated this sea- son. Farmers should watch the growth of these plots throughout the summer. PROTECTIVE FOODS A properly balanced diet is needed by all, both old and young, in order that their bodies may be adequately nourished and that they may enjoy good health. To secure a balanced diet, it is nec- essary to use a wide variety of foods. No normal person need worry about the lack of this or that particular u�sub tance in his diet if, in addition to g a wide variety of foods he in- ude regularly in his diet each day, milk and the leafy vegetables. The name "protective foods" has been given very aptly to milk and the leafy vegetables because of their abil- ity to make good the deficiencies of other foods. This may be expressed more directly by saying that the use of . these protective foods makes cer- tain that the diet is properly balan- ced and that the person using them will not suffer the loss of health and strength which occurs if the diet is not so balanced. Milk is the one food for which we have no satisfactory substitute. It is the most important food for young children. It is not, however, a food whose use should be limited to children. It is valuable throughout life and, therefore, milk and milk products should form a regular part of the diet at all ages. Milk is food containing about 12 Ter cent. of solids. From one quart of milk is secured about half a cup- ful of 'butter fat, milk sugar and small amounts of different minerals. We do not see these substances in milk as we use it because they are dgissolved. They are there, however, and when we take milk into our bod- ies, we receive all the nourishment which comes from such food ele- ments. Milk gives us the food substances which build up the body and repair worn out tissues. Milk is rich in cal- cium (lime) and phosphorus. The green leafy vegetables are also a source of calcium. The use of milk as- sures the body of sufficient calcium which, if deficient early in life, re- sults in the improper formation of ing to rise abruptly from it. Trees, shrubs and flowers will do much in the transforming of a mere house into a home, but vines are needed to com- plete the picture. The charm of the cottage grounds in England will, if analyzed, be found' to lie not in gar- dens or lawns so much as in the vines which clothe the walls and roses that adorn arches and clamber on trellis- es and fences. Of the flowering vines, the first to bloom is the wistaria. This comes out with the daffodils, early in the spring, with sometimes a second crop of flowers in August. It is rather ;low in becoming established, requ3•res a deep root bed and is somewhat ten- der. The fragrant blue -flowered wis- aria is followed in floral display by climbing roses growing over trellises, arbors, or pergolas. Two varieties of clematis are recommended, the jack- manii, which produces huge purple bloom but little foliage and therefore should be planted with another vine, and the paniculata, furnishing a sheet of white starlike fragrant flowers for about two weeks. Light soil and par- tial shade is preferred by these plants. The scarlet trumpet honeysuckle is another splendid permanent vine. Its foliage, a deep green, comes early and is retained late, therefore making it an ideal screen. It flowers freely and is very fragrant. The silver lace vine, another abundant bloomer during late summer and early fall, is a rapid grower. There is nothing better for covering walls of brick or stone than the Boston ivy in the warmer districts of Canada, and the special clinging type Virginia creeper in districts where the climate is more rigorous. There is no bloom to speak of with these plants. If one wants a vigorous and ranid grower, when once estab- lished the Dutehman's pipe will fit in well, producing huge leaves of a light green. This vine is hardy. For those who do not own their home, or want a screen in a hurry, there are plenty of annuals from which to choose, such as the cardinal climber, cabaea, morn- ing glory, gourd, climbing nastur- tiums, canary bird flower, scarlet run- ner bean, and humulus a rapid grow- ing Japanese type of hops. Try Something Early. It is a good plan to plant a few rows of such 'hardy vegetables as peas, radish, cress, spinach, and let- tuce just as soon as possible. The seed will only cost a few cents. If frosts cuts them down, the loss is trivial, whereas if theycome through and one has more than an even ehance of this, a considerable gain has been se- cured in earliness.

SUSPICIONS MAY INDICATE UN- HEALTHY MENTAL STATE One morning a young mars whom we shall call Frank Jones, though that is not his name, found Joe Brown's hat hanging on the cloak- room hook that he generally used. Hooks were not assigned to any par- ticular employee, but mast of the men had their favorite hooks. Frank, more methodical than most, was irri- tated to find another hat on the 'hook which he looked' on as his own. He was especially sore this time because he rememlbered having found, this same hat on his hook once before. The truth was that Joe, not so meth- odical as Frank, had simply hung his hat on the first available peg; he gen- erally came in later than Frank, oth- erwise the thing might have happen- ed oftener before. But Frank was con- vinced that Joe had done it to spite him. He went to his desk hot with an- ger and suspicion. A few minutes fat- ed he saw Joe go over to another clerk and say something at which they both laughed, and, Franlc thought, they glanced in his direction. He was sure they were talking about him. At lunch in the company cafeteria he, as usual, sat by himself; he pre- ferred to read rather than join a group of others Who were usually noisy and, aee6rding to his views, rather silly.
