SIMPLE METHODS FOR ICE STORAGE Where ice is readily available, the storage of 'a few blocks of it Is a very simple matter. Any umoccup4ed cor- nerof a sired will serve the purpose. A rough board enclosure, ten feet square and eight feet high, states the Dominion) Department of Agriculture pamphlet, "Simple Methods for the Storage of Ice," will .hold enough ice to provide 50 pounds per day for 130 - days, after allowing for a reasonable aneount of wastage. The smaller the quantity stored, the larger is the pro- portion of waste. The bottom of the enclosure (should: be covered with about one foot .of sawdust. If.. the soil underneath is impervious clay, it will be all the 'better is there are a few inches of gravel• under the savadust: lin putting. dive ice in the enclosure, the boards Can be taken away from one side and aeplaceld after the ice is in position. 'Phe space of one foot, to be filled with sawdust, should be left between the ice and the boards, • and the ice- should be -covered with about the same thick- ness of sawdust. It is the sawdust -which keeps the ice from meltit:g. The defer the sawdust, the better the ice will keep, and it is a good plan to throw out the driest, of the sawdust from' time to time as the lee is bung removed during the summer. 'Under cover this sawdust will 'con- , time to dry out and thus be in a bet- ter condition to be used again in the following' year.

NO LICENSE NEEDED TO EXPORT HAY Recently a number of requests have been received by the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture- for licenses to export hay from Canada, or for in- formation as to the necessity for such licenses. No license for this .purpose 'is now required. Two years ago, in view of the ex- isting situation with regard to forage supplies at that time, it was required that shippers obtain a license from the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture to export hay orstraw from Can- ada. However, that order was can- celled at the end of January,' 1935, and since then no such 'restriction has been in existence. A• HEALTH, SERVICE OF, THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ANO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN•CANADA ., CONSTIPATION IN CHILDREN if, constipation does not affect some member of your family, the following advice- wilt be unnecessary. However an examination) of the medicines kept in the home will reveal that over half of them are for the remedy of• -'this trouble. The use of .laxative medicines is the easy but dangerous way out of the difficulty. The initial diarrhoea caus- 'ed by theirritating action of the med- icine is followed by more constipa- tion. More medicine is required, and a vicious habit is' formed. Certainly in infants and young children laxa- tives should only 'be used on th.e ad- vice of the physician. Constipation, or faulty elimination, may be controlled by a properly chos- en diet and correct habit training. A regular time, usually just after a meal or -on rising, should be set aside for going to the toilet. Encourage out- door play and plenty of exercise, More water -should be taken. It is often a good practice to drink one-half cup of warm water on rising, before break- fast. , l' As well as the general measures outlined above, the . proper selection of foods will prove effective. It will bear repeating, sufficient water is es- sential, The whole grain cereals which contain bran aid the action of the bowels. The same applies to the fruits and bulk vegetables. The vit- amins in wheat germ and brewer's •yeast bring about better tone to the bowels. Concentrated foods such as fats, starches and meats tend. to produce constipation'. In infancy constipation can be reg- ulated by proper diet in the artificial- ly feel,. As far as the breast fed baby is concerned, there is no such thing as constipation. If the infant is al- lowed to go long enough it will have an easily )sassed soft movement and in the meantime will have no dis- tress. The control of constipation in chil- dren is to establish regularity of toll - et habits and to employ a suitable Wet.

"Man's a D— Fool" "Well," resumed Sir John, "I',11 tell you an interesting,. bit of lore that I knew on the inside. The King told my equerry relatiye to go back to see the alleged assassin. And King Edwards --as he then was—this only other remark to his equerry was: 'the plan's 'a dam fool!" "By the, way," 1 digres-sed, "you've had a lot of titles among you, in; the Aird family, have you not? --a lot of 'Sirs' to be sure,?" conceded rag favorite 'Sir' of them all, "I •suppose we've had more than the average, let them .be worth what they may."

No, I can't say --aa to any joy in it—that I ever . think of .it. But, you see, it pleases one's family," con- cluded the hero who would do any- thing, it appears, for his idolatrous home folks. "Geniuses of Finance" "This beats all," I commented; "for, I've asked the same question, especc. ially do England, of titled beneficiaries —and nine -tenths of them replied to this effect: 'it means absolutely noth- ing to me—but, you see, it pleases the wife. Yes, yes, the women like that sort of thing.' But let us get on," I resumed, "and' please- tell me this: is it not 'the ease, as illustrated for inn stance byy yourself that the• Scottish race see especially endowed by na- ture for the banking business?

"Well," replied this undiluted Scot, "I think I'll have to admit such is the case—it seems to be in .their make- up more them in any other - national- ity";,. another illustration of that calm, colossal, candor about .their su- premaacy that marks the Scotch (one of the pleasant features of that hon- est race is that you can't s'ay anything more complimentary about themthan they already secretly believe about themselves). "By the way," I asked on recovery, "why is it that so few ban -kers - en- courage their own sons to become bank clerks? Fewer of them, than of any other profession, I believe, fol- low in .•their daddies, footsteps." "Well," replied the great banker, "So far as my own case is concerned, I hadi my son, Hugh,. in .the bank—for three months during his holidays. The bank, you see, happened -to be short of such help at the time.' And, it is gratifying to me to relate, they wanted to keep him and would have• pushed him forward, I know—but he went in to another line, in the firm now known as 'Aird, MacLeod and Co.', stock and -,bond dealers.

"Well," replied Sir John, "I'm sure of one thing—and that hi that, in all my banking career, I was never (hap- pier than when I was manager of our branch at Seaforthe Great friends there," he mused,' and murmured the naine, for one, of "Dr. Coleman' (who I hope will see this paragraph and - rejoice) ; "and my farmer .. friends there," - murmured the "retire -di -14eator of finance, "I71 remember them with pleasure as long as I live." .

' Choose Own Pronunciation Suddenly, es a kind of P.S., we lit on another, M•r., J. M. Macdonm+ell, general manager of the National Trust Co,, whose .father, the late Rev. D. J. Macdonneli, was, all in the all, the greatest Christian priest of Canada's history.:... This brought a digression. And Sir John and I, as we recounted Hon. Mr. Justice Macdonnell's recent stern re- sponse to a fellow judge who pro- nounced the name with full emphasis upon -the final 'ell'—as we canvased this, we united to affirm that the' now departed orator of King and Simcoe St. countenanced Mr. Justice Latch - ford's 'pronouncement. And I asked the banker tbis question; "After all, Sir John, who settles such a matter? Does not a man's custodianship of his own surname expire with the matter of how it is spelled? As to pronuncia- tion, have not you or I the right to use aur own judgment, in the light of all -the facts?" to which query . Sir John answered with a „cordial and emphatic affirmative. • Thus concluded, in triumphant ac- cord,, our ,long and, varied interview. And I left Sir John basking in the kindly sunlight of that incomparable sun -room, hurrying out to my waiting car with equally genial memories of the not less cordial radiation from the large and moving -heart of one of life's favorites, the still active and happy Sir John Aird. In order' to effect greater standardi- zation in the packing of certain pro - duets offered for sale in Netherlands, India, the local government has pass- ed an ordinance with respect to .the packing of flout, to become effective on May 1, 1937. The only important requirements as far as .Canadian ex- porters are. coneerned is that the weights must be. 0 -own in kilograms.

Here is how AIL -BRAN works; In the first place, common consti- pation is usually due to meals low in "bulk." Intestinal muscles lack the materials needed for their exercise. They get flabby. cellitty Some "bulk" is found in fruits and .. . vegetables. But Kellogg's ALL -BRAN -' has a great deal more. • This cereal absorbs water. It. passes through the system—with the fibre largely un- changed—gently sponging the intes- tinal w4115 ag.•it goes along. It elim- inates liminates the listlessness, the "blues," the headaches that often follow consti- pation. ALL -BRAN also provides vitamin B to tone up the intestines, and iron for the blood.
