Tuesday, Feb. 9
Activity in the -House proceeded at
a swift pace yesterday with estimates
of two departments disposed of and
progress registered on important gov-
ernment measures. External affairs
estimates and those of the Secretary
of State were adopted.
The discussion on External .affairs
brought some rather amusing inci-
dents.
Harry Leader, Liberal, complained
about the Government paying dog
taxes for their High Commissioners
in other countries when what really
,does happen ip that all Countries pay
the taxes of the Ambassadors rep: e-
sentines their particular countries. For
instance, Canada pays the taxes of
U. S., United Kingdom and other Am-
bassadors while other countries do
likewise with Canadian representa-
tives.
Legations buildings taxes in foreign
countries are paid by the country
where the buildings are. . Mr. Woods -
worth and Mr. Charch complained a-
bout the exPenses of these legations
.and where they are situated. The
_'rime Minister suggested that surely

the Members would not expect the
Canadian Howie to be on the back
streets while South Africa, Australia
and others were situated on the front
street in foreign, cities. Mr. Bennott
concurred, pointing out that such talk
was really rather foolish.
One wonders just what would hap-
pen if Mr. Woodeworth was Prime
Minister of Canada. He could see no
reason for taking soldiers to the
Coronation. Mr. King pointed out to
him that when any citizen is willing
to lay down bis life for hie country
he surely is entitled to decent con-
sideration and in extending an invi-
tation to soldier delegations the Gov-
ernment was extending that courtesy.
Paul Martin, supported by Mr.
Woodsworth, trhought that matters re-
garding foreign 'affairs should be dis-
eussed by a .committee of the House,
but both Mr. King and Mr. Bennett
claimed that much of this was of a
secret nature- and more harm than
good would result from making all
matters public.
Further progress was made with
the bill for the Home Improvement
ran.
Rehabilitation, of the drought areas
in Western Canada received consider-
able attention under Minister of Ag-
riculture, Me. Gardiner estimates. The
Department plans to spend Ek $1,000,-
000 per year for the coming four
years .on this project. Mrs. Black,
(Con., Yukon), spoke out of her turn
when she spoke to her resolutions
on the order paper, suggesting that
the Government issue $1,0.00,000 in
silver dollars. The Speaker very gra-
ciously allowed her to proceed, al-
though this was not Private members'
day.
The Secretary of State's estimates
passed with little criticism.
A report tabled to -day showed that
since 1921 no less than 86.884 perman-
ent seasonal and temporary appoint-
ments have been made by the Civil
Service Commission. 'Phis report in-
dicates to what extent changes take

Wednesday, Feb. 10
A hundred million dollar plan for
Housing and Slum Clearance was
broached in the House of 'Com,m,ons
yesterday by Denton Massey (Con.,
G:eenw•ocd). It was the only half
Cay of the week which is now avail-
able for Private Members.
Mr. Massey made a carefully stu-
died sreech in suppo:t of hi•s p: opos-
Os and did, it well and it indicated
o small amount of research.
The Minister of Finance, however,
while conceding the high motive of
he mover, spoke of the limitations of
I he Federal authority in what essen-
:zallyd is a provincial field
The Federal Government can assist
more than it can initiate. Anyway,
its point was that the present plan
if housing and renovating is coming
ri•ong most encouragingly. Mr. Dun -
ling went on to tell about the HMS -
:ng Act. He said that up to the end
of January 1, 119 family units have
been provided for—soane of them du-
plexes. The cost was $5,376,000. Mr.
Dunning pointed out that the princi-
al obstacles to the Housing plans

various municipalities.
Plans had recently been approved
or a house costing $2,700.00 includ-
ing the land and which an owner
could finance for $14.12 per month.
!his house would have living room,
; tch•en, bathroom and three bed -
corns, full basement and central
heat.
Quite a number took part in the de-
bate which was not completed at 6
p.m. Mr. Mallette (Liberal), Mr.
Plaxton (Liberal), Miss Macphail
(U.F.O.), T. L. Ohnrrch (Conservative),
Mr. Lawson (Conservative), all sup-
perted, the resolution. Miss Macphail
spent considerable time in giving in
detail the plan that. has been adopted
in Sweden. Of eours•e this was just
another opportunity for private mem-
bers to talk as they all knew that
the Government already has a hous-
ing scheme, which is about as far as
the Federal Government can go.
Thursday, Feb. 11
The. Western drought problem in
its historical and ' ccon'pmic aspects
was outlined to the House of Com-
r_r•ons to -day by the Honourable Jas.
G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture,
who predicted that in 10 years there
ould be more people in _the so-call-
ed drought area than there is to -day.
Mr. Gardiner spoke from his ex-
perience as a farmer battling drought
in both the Western States and in
Saskatchewan and as a Cabinet Min-
ister in the Saskatchewan Govern-
ment, to show that the open prairie
lards were capable of producing great
wealth and ,should not be ad'andoned.
Mr. Gardiner spoke for two hours and
'received a very attentive hearing. As
a matter of fact no one can put his
case clearer and with more sincerity
than can Mr. Gardiner, and coming
from the country in which he first
saw the light of day one was natural-
ly proud of Huron's son, who is now
Minister of Agriculture in'this Federal
Government.
Mr. Gardiner was speaking oh his
western rehabilitation Bill, He said
titre dried out area contained some
18,000,000 acres of improved land or
about one-quarter of the entire acre-
age of improved land in the Domin-
ion; that there were some 900,000
people living in this territory and
were deserving of every effort to put
these people on their feet• again.
He pointed out that $58,000,000 'rad
been advanced to these people, -$27,-
000,000 of this amount being pald by
the Federal Government. As an evi-
dence of the economic importance of
the area, wheat production in 'Sas-
katc+hewan alone in the three years
1926-27-28 was valued at $1,180„000,-
000. ,
The great difference between a
good crop and a poor one was illus-
trated by Mr. Gardiner when he said
that one of the nosy years produced
shout $1,000,000,000, and a poor year
produced $354,000,000. The Minister
spoke optimistically of the future of
thin territory and his bill received.

went into committee to study the de-
tails of hts bill.

Showered
A very pleasant evening was en-
joyed by twenty-five girl friend, of
Islay Stewart at the home of Miss
Ann Irwin when a surprise kitchen
shower was held for Miss Stewart
Thursday evening. The house was
prettily decorated in a color scheme
of ',Ink and white. Miss Stewart re-
ceived many beautiful and useful
gifts. Following . the opening of the
shower a dainty lunch was served and
a social hour enjoyed.—Wingham Ad-
vance -Times.
Boy Caught on Railway Bridge
Another tragedy on. the C.P.It.
bridge near the mouth of the Mait-
land River, was narrowly averted on
Saturday. As the noon train approach-
ed that bridge, a small boy and itis
dog were seen on It by the engineer,
but tie was able to slow down enough
to let the boy and his dog reach safe-
ty. The whistle was blown as the
train approached the bridge and also
as it crossed the structure. It was a
close call for the boy and another
harrowing experience for the train-
men.—Goderiah Star.
Valuable Racing Colt Dropped Dead
Dr. J. B. Whitely lost one of his
best /race horses last week, when
Elaine Harvester, a 4 -year-old black
colt, dropped dead at the stables.
Claude Murray, driver, was exercis-
ing the animal by driving around the
town and as he was going to the
stables a oar passed him on Britan-
nia Road. 'Phe horse gave a skittish
jump and a toss of the head, and in
some mysterious- manner twisted it-
self, causing a rupture of the bowels.
Mr. Murray, quite unaware of any-
thing being wrong with the animal,
proceeded to the stable where he un-
hitched it from the cart, but shortly
after unharnessing it, dropped dead.

Loses Two Fingers
Jack•'Mabon, aged fifteen, is recov-
ering at this home on: Wolfe Street
after an unfortunate accident suffered
at the plant of the Goderich Manu-
facturing Company last week. The boy
was oiling machinery when his hand
was caught and so badly lacerated
that he lost two fingers, which were
almost shorn off.—Goderich Signa}.
Picture Unveiled
On 'Thursday night last with fitting
and impressive ceremony, a picture of
Robert Maskeld was unveiled at the
Boy Scout rooms at the public libr-
ary. The fourteen -year-old lad, a pop-
ular member of the Wolf Patrol, 2nd
I'oy Scout Troop, was accidentally
killed on December 23, 1936. About
thirty Scouts of the 2nd Troop attend-
ed the ceremony, which was 'under
the direction of Scoutmaster Glen C.
Lodge. The meeting opened' with the
traditional flag break, by Patrol Lead-
er Ernest Salkeld, with Troop, Leader
Fred Whittingham in charge;' after
which the Snouts werelined up on
either side of the flag pole, and ad-
dressed by Scoutmaster Lodge.—Gode-

Friday, Feb. 12
The great peace and quiet which
has hung over this sessicn of parlia-
ment since it began was slightly
shattered in the House to -day. Mr.
Bennett and the Minister of Agricul-
ture crossed verbal swords and in
the clash a few sparks flew about.
Some of the members shouted and
temperatures went up. Then it calm-
ed down; it was the only episode of
the kind in the month the session
Iia lasted and it arose out of the
Saskatchewan Rehabilitation B i 11
changing or supplementing the Na-
tional Committee with several other
committees.
Mr. Bennett opposed the bill and
incidentally ;made a rather unwar-
ranted attack on Mr. Vallance, a for-
mer Liberal member, and now chair-
man of the Rehabilitation Committee
in tthe Western Provinces. Mr. Ben-
hett protested so vigorously that Mr.
Gardiner thought he was protesting
too much about his political purity.
Mr. Gandiner reminded the leader of
the opposition that just before going
out of office the had made 17 appoint-
ments to very important positions all
across Canada, and each , ease it was
a Conservative member that received
the appointment, in view of his ac-
tion he felt that he should be the last
on to complain' about Mr. Vallance's
appointment.
In every clash that Mr. Bennett has
had with Mr. Gardiner' the has Come,
out second best. Many Saskatchewan
members joined in the attack on Mr.
Bennett. -On three occasions during
the debate the Deputy Minister, Mr.
Sanderson, had to rule against the
leader of the opposition. Slow pro-
gress was made with Mr. Gardiner's
bill. -
After the bill had received second
reading, .the House turned to Post
Office estimates. Mr. Elliott, Post-
master General, made little progress
as so many were anxious to make
complaints regarding the operation of
the Post Office Act.
Some of the Conservative members
who never opened their mouth during
the last five years, to -day spoke about
patronage. Complaint was made re-
garding the rural couriers remunera-
tion.
Mr. Elliott pointed out that these
contracts were tendered for and it
rested entirely with, the couriers
themselves wlhat. they -would ask for
their eervices.
Mr. Tucker (Liberal, Saskatche-
wan) read from a return tabled last.
Session where the former Postmaster
General, in hundreds of cases, per-
mitted his friends to drop to the low
tender after the tenders were open-
ed, all of which Is of course con-
trary to the' Act ,
In listening to the debate one could
come to no other conclusion than
that things of this sort are quite ,all
right if done by Conservative Gov-
ernments, but 'if done at all by Lib-
eral,Governments, it la,, a very serious
crime indeed.
That sort' of attitude is, to say the
least, rather disgusting.

Through Lumbago
Only those who 'have suffered from
lumbago know how exceedingly pain-
ful It can be. And when they discov-
er a remedy for this complaint, they
are anxious to pass on the gpod news
to other sufferers. Let this man tell
you how Kruschen brought 'him re-
lief:
"I had a bad attack of lumbago.
When I got into bed I had to stay in
that pee: tion—I could not move for
pain. I didn't know what to take or
what to do. 1 was advised to try
Kruschen Salts and I am very grate-
ful I did eo. After taking a, few dos-
es I felt relief, and after baking one
large bottle, I am glad to say that
my -lumbago had entirely gone, and
I have nor had the slightest trace of
it coming back.".—G.A.V.

a
Seed Cleaning
Important Farm Job
Many natural and uncontrollable
risks must be taken in producing
crops. There are, however, many
factors that enter into crop produc-
tion, which are controllable. Among
these is the preparation of grain for
seed. This is a farm job that can
usually be done during the five
months after threshing in the fall to
within one month of seeding in the
spring. When cleaning and grading
of seed is left until the busy seeding
time, the work is sometimes rushed
and consequently not so carefully
done. Best results are obtained wdhen
the capacity of the seed cleaning and
grading machines is not overtaxed.
Many- machines do much, better work
when they are operated considerab-
ly under their commercially rated ca-
pacities. It seems to be a good plan
to have the work of preparing seed
done when the weather is favorable,
and at least one Month before seed-
ing.
There are three mein reasons for
cleaning seed, namely, tthe removal
of weed seeds; to retain well develop•,
ed seeds of high vitality, and to have
seedof uniform size and freedom
frcui ob€ti;-uctians. The annual loss
due to weed seeds is very great.
Where soil moisture becomes more
limited, the control of weed growth,
becomes more essential- Noxious
weeds, especially those which are
likely to be introduced on farms
vehere they are not yet prevalent,
should be removed.
Witlh regard to retaining well de-
veloped seeds of high vitality, plump
seeds of strong vitality may endure
adverse growing conditions because of
the stronger seedlings -which are sup-
ported by the greater food reserves
of the well developed seed. Uniform-
ity of seed is important. Uniform
seed free from awns, hoods and inert
material will run -through the drill
cups freely. Seed which can be de-
livered through the drill with the
highest degree of regularity is more
evenly spaced in the drill rows in
the ground and is thus able to com-
pete more effectively with weed
growth.
Full information about tibe cleaning
of cereal grain's, flax, grass and clover
coeds is given in the bulletin on
"Weeds and Weed, Seeds" which may
be obtained free on application to the

minion Department of Agriculture,

class of young pupils a test on a le -
tent natural history lesson.
"Now, Bobby Jones,” she said, "tell
me where the elephant is found."
The boy hesitated for .a moment ;
then his face lit up.
"The elephant, teacher," he said,
"is such a large animal it is scarcely
ever lost."

SANDWICHES
A cup of tea in the afternoon brio
a restful and refreshing pause in
busy day. The fresher the bread, the
more delicate the sandwich. if yo
slice fresh bread with a very. char
hot knife you can cut it thinly and
evenly with very little trouble.
Most children like sandwiches and
when the noon day meal has included
some other dish of a substantial o
nourishing type -- cream of vegetable
soup, or, a • salad, a few sandwiches
and little fruit and a milk beverage
v: ill make a menu that is wholesome
and well-balanced.
'Whole wheat bread or graham bread
and Boston brown bread with soine-
times raisin or another fruit bread are
good substitutes for cake. These
breads are • particularly popular when

Two medium -thin slices, filled, put ro-
gether, then cut in four square sec-
tions, is one way of makipg the sand-
wiches. Or, scores of animals or

es.
Savory sandwiches are popular
when served with a luncheon salad.
Spinach Sandwich
Select the very tiny tender leaves
from the heart of the spinach. Wash

or celery. Spread on bread and add
salt to season, or moisten with may-
onnaise before spreading, in which
case do not butter the bread. A slice

Place 2 slices of tomato on bread c,r
toast. Add a lettuce leaf if liked.
Place the hot crisp„ bacon over the
vegetable. Press bread or toast over

Add 1/3 cup celery, chopped as fine
as possible 1/B teaspoon of salt and
enough melted butter to make of
spreading consistency. ,Spread be-
tween slices of white or whole wheat
bread. Cut sandwiches in rounds or
diamonds with. a cookie cutter.
Other savory sandwiches may be
made from the miscellaneous sand-
wich spreads.
Sandwich Loaf
Remove crusts from a loaf of sand-
wich bread. Slice bread lengthwise;
butter slices on both sides, except top
and bottom slices. Make fillings as
follows•: One tin of Paris Pate and
one chopped pimento; (Red Filling)
yolks three hard-boiled, eggs, seasoned
with salt and pepper and one-half
teaspoonful vinegar '(yellow filling)
one-half package -cream cheese, soft-
ened with one-half grated cucumber
(White Filling) four small sweet pick-
les.
Rolled Sandwiches
Cut the bread very fine, removing
the crusts. Place a.leaf of lettuce on
each slice and in the centre a small
quantity of the following 1/2 pack-
age of cream cheese, 1,2 cup walnuts,
chopped fine, and 1 small bottle of
olives, chopped fine, and several -
sticks of celery, also very finely chop-
ped. Mix these together, moistening
with a little mayonnaise dressing,
then add Paris Pate. Roll the slices
of bread either from one end or side
and hold together with a wooden
toothpick.
Three Tier Sandwiches.
Cut the bread in thin even slices,
in snatching threes. Spread each
slice with softened butter and. trim.
Between the first two spread Paris
Pate, moistened with mayonnaise,
with a little cress or a lettuce leaf
put between them. On top of this
sandwich place a thin slice of tbm-
ato (well drained). Put a little may-
onnaise on the tomato or, if prefer-
red, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Then place on the third slice of
bread. Cut in desired shapes.
Ribbon Sandwiches
• These sandwiches are made of four
slices of bread, two white and two
brown, cut one half inch thick and
trimmed. Butter orae side of each
slice. On one brown slice place some
cream or cottage cheese, to which
has been added some pimento olives,
a taste of chopped onion; then cover
with a slice of white bread. Spread
this slice with Paris Pate, mixed with
a little chopped parsley; cover with
a slice of brown bread, spread with
the cheese mixture, and then the last
white slice. Cover with wax paper
and put a weighton top for an hour
or so; then slice downwards as you
would ti cake.
Date and Marshmallow Sandwiches
Four dates, 3 marshmallows, 2 slic-
es bread. Wash dates, remove seeds

horseradish is another good combina-
tion. -
Finely chopped chicken and celery,
moistened with mayonnaise, always is
a fatrorite.
Thinly sliced breast of chicken be-
tween thin slices of buttered white
bread is one of the most delectable
sandwiches.
Chopped ,hard -cooked egg andshred-
ded lettuce with mayonnaise is an-
other good mixture.

MORNING MOODS
When February mornings are cold
and dark and gray we roll out of bed
reluctantly, feeling that It is still go-
ing -to -bed, time and not getting -up
time at all. We find ourselves cross
and grouchy and very weary. of "it
all." We may even go through the
morning in a frame of mind not cOn-
ducive to efficient work or cheerful
personality. We don't know what is
the matter, and: blame it on the wea-
ther, or on people—on anything, in
fact, but the right thing.
,Midwinter activities are heavy. By
February we have stored up quite a
f.:tigue reserve from our before -
Christmas and after-Qhristmas hurry-
ing. We grow careless about our bed-
time hour, and each night miss out a
little on our quota of sleep. „We skip
breakfast on mornings -when we are
behind schedule with our dressing.
We drink coffee late at night and
then toss for an hour or two, losing
precious moments of rest. In gen-
eral, we slip away from our standard
cf healthful living, and soon a little
cold -germ comes crawling in the win-
dow or under the door and we are
down.
"What can I do about all this,"
you probably ask, a little disbeliev-
ingly. You feel that much of this
activity and much of the tired feel-
ing is unavoidable. Perhaps the ac-
tivity is, but something can be done
to lessen the tired feeling if the in-
creased activities of midwinter are
allowed for and an adjustment in the
daily schedule is made. Then, too,
en adjustment in our food habits
should be made, so that the body can
do more to combat fatigue and dis-
ease.
We suggest as a starter, that the
day be begun with a very substantial,
breakfast. Even if you are pressed
for time, try to plan your getting up
so that you will have more than the
traditional minute to snatch a cup of
coffee. Sit down, draw a few deep
breaths, and then, in a calm, unhur-
ried frame of mind', have your fruit
or fruit juice, your cereal, your gold-
en brown toast, egg, and fragrant cof-
fee. After a week of this leisurely
breakfasting you will begin to look
for to morning and will find it a
great deal easier to get out of bed,
knowing/that a good breakfast awaits
you.
One prominent business house had
a campaign ,for better breakfasts`
among its employees. A rule was
made that no one should come to
work without first having breakfast-
ed for this particular employer felt
that a higher degree of efficiency dur-
ing %orking hours was reached by
those who were well fed. That is the
opinion shared by business engineers,
teachers, and nutritionists.

not be too ,heavy. This is a good meal

The eating before bed habit ought
to be curtailed a little during the
winter •time. A light meal is not
harmful, since it is conducive tet
restful sleep, but too much food or
too many stimulants cause tossing
and dreamful sleep. If you are being
entertained and your hostess serves
you coffee, accept it with a smile and,
drink some like a martyr.
These may seer, like small things
to do in your winter health program,
but they will show up in very black
ink on the credit side of your ~health
ledger. They will make you a nicer
person to have around the house au&
a nicer boss or secretary at the of-
fice. Try it and see.
Canadian Domestic
Poultry Market
Prices of poultry in the C.anadriats
domestic market in 1936 were lower
than in 1935. The poultry crop of
1935 was marketed by producers at
prices which represented a ,substan-
tial increase over those of the years
immediately preceding. Subsequent
developments proved that the farm
selling price of this poultry was Aso
great in relation to the domestic or
to the export market prices. This ex-
perience showed that there is a price
limit for poultry, in comparison with.
the relative prices of other meats, be= -
yond which the consumer will not
give active support to the market. .
There is every reason to expect a
satisfactory movement of the 1936
poultry crop both in Canada and 11*
export trade. This should have a
strengthening influence an the situa-
tion during the marketing season of
1937, although an early return to tliht
prices which prevailed in 1935 is not
normally to be expected. The can-
ning of poultry meats in Eastern Can-
ada has increased considerably in re-
cent years through the development
of an export trade in this product.
