Columbus discovered thes'e islands
and named .them, for the martyred
- horde of St. Ursula, a; lady who set
out from Britain 1600 years ago with
11,000 virgins to visit the Holy Land.
On the way an army of Buns attack-
ed the girls, And—defending their
virtue—the virgins died. Columbus's
'piety led his mathematics astray, for
there are only about a hundred is
lands, counting rocks. Half the is-
lands belong to us, the rest to Eng-
land. And only about six of them are
inhabited.
There is everything you oould want
on St. Thomas, from electric refrig-
eration to tennis, golf and the latest
movies. And there is almost every-
-thing on St. Croix. But on St. Jahn
there is nothing art all but beauty.,
There are about 20,000 colored peo-

queer, identical boats. And none of
them laugh, wthloh is strange in, a
iandewhere everybody le happy.
One of the plieasautest things about
St. Thomas is that you -can see so
much in a short time. West Indians
say that the ideal island should be
small enough to go around -in a dray,
big enough to live on, little enough
to love. The Virgins, fill all specifica-
tiana-and more.
There is, for instance, Bluebeerd's
Castle Hotel, new and smart, where
every room has veranda and bath.
The story is that there were two Pir-
ates on St. Thomas, Biackbeard and
Bluebeard—whose beard was blacker
than black. They built themselves
towerlike fortresses and Bluebeard,
unholy rascal, kept 13 women in his,
and made Love to them all.
Biuebeard's Castle Hotel, built a-
bout the old fortress, is managed by
a Russian prince, Dmitri Starrosel-
sky, who was once a major in the �
Czar's army. Bluebeard's is like.saome-
thing out, of Sommens'et Maugham. For
about $5 a day you can live in a room
precious as a calla lily, and sheep in
a pale green bed with an innerspring'
mattress. There are also several mod-
est hotels with correspondingly cheap-
er . rates.
If you have a family, you probably
will take a house. Rentals begin at
about $25 and' run to $60 a month, and
the houses have baths and, electric-
ity. You could have Blackbeard's
place, I think, for sixty. But maybe
you prefer something primitive — a
shack, perhaps, on a heart -shaped
beach. For '$10 a month you can have
the shack with bougainvillaea, and a
beach fringed wit silver sand and
0000anut palms and the purple sea,
For $12 a month you can hire a wo-
man .to cook and myarket and keep
your 'house clean. On $50 a month it
is possible to live 'rather well. L''r fe
on St. Croix and St. John is cheaper
than on St. Thorne's. But there is
nothing much to do on St. Croix and
tothing at all on, St John, except, of
course, the swimming ` which is gor-
geous on all tee islands.
Temperature ranges in winter from
70 to 80; in summer it jumps about
five degrees. The islands ate swept
by the cooling trade winds' which blow
constantly -and every bed at Bine-
beard's has a woollen blhnket!
Hardly anybody is sick ire St•
Thomas- Nobody Iles colds or pneu-
monia; tropical diseases are. almost
unknown, The .only malady contract-
ed by visitors• is indolence, and the
sooner you get it the 'happier you will
be, for it's lovely being lazy in the
Virgins.

WHAT A WRECK
CONSTIPATION MAKES
• Gonstipatton can dull your whole
-lige. Headaches, poor complexions
tired, lifeless daysare often the
results- Also, many serious diseases.
Get rid of common constipation
now with a ready -to -eat cereal—
Kellogg's .ALL -BRAN.
ALL-BItele brings you the two
things your system needs to act
naturally: "bulk" and vitamin B
to help tone the intestines.
Within the body, ALL -BRAN ab-
sorbs more than twice its weight
in water--forns a loft mass, and
gently clears the intestines of
wastes. It acts naturally.
Pillsand drugs seldom cure con-
stipation. You just keep on in-
creasing the dose and switching
from one laxative to another.
Just eat two tablespoonfuls of
Kellogg's Am -BRAN every day,
three times daily if needed. Serve
as a cereal with milk .or cream, or
ase in recipes. Sold' be all grocers
—made and guaranteed b -y Kellogg

A milk truck collided with a car,
and many bottles of milk were brok-

"Poor fellow," said a benevolent -

have to pay for this accident,- won't
you.?"
"Yes, sir," said the driver.
"That's too bad. Here's two dol-
lars towards it, and I'll pass the hat

After the crowd bad contributed and

Housewives To Be Advised
of Package Change
No telling these days just what new
fashions are likely to appear—with
everything from silk stockings to
automobiles coming out with new
yearly models, such changes cease to
'be news. But 'when an old familiar
product like Challenge Corn Starch
announnes a package change—that's
n'ew's to every housewife in the dis-
trict.
In discussing the change, a Canada
Starch Company representative stat-
ed that the new per'kege on one side
.would contain many of the old char-
acteristics of the familiar Challenge
package inchsding the Rooster trade
mark—and the new -name of the pro-
duct—Canada Corn Starch which it is
planned to call the product by in fu-
ture.
In other words Challenge and Can-
ada Corn Starches are new combined
in this new. package. Previously they
were sold .separately. This simplifies
the marketing and distribution and
materially assists the grocers as they
low merely stock the new package.
There •,being positively no change
whatevef in the quality. of the product
it is believed "milady" will be satis-
fied, and soon call for it by the one
name, "Canada Corn Starch."

Mother Shipton, we ere told, was
born in Yoreshire, England, in July,
1488, and died about 1559. In books
of information she is described as a
half mythical English.propheteas, bap-
tized, Ursula Southiel,who later mar-
ried Tony Sthipton, a builder, Ac -
Cording to tradition, she was the child
of Agatha S'bipton and the Devil.
The following extracts frees her
amazing prophecies were, taken from
a scrap book made more than forty
years ago and owned by a Rochester
woman, saes the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle:
A House of glass shall come to pass
In merry England, but, alas!
War will follow with the work
In the land of the bloody Turk,
And State and State in fierce strife,
Shall struggle for each other's life,
Carriages, without horses shall go
And accidents fill the world with woe..
In London, Primrose Hill shall be, '
And the center of a bishop's sea.
Around) the world thought _s.hall fly' -.•.
In the twinkle of an eye.
Through the hills men shall ride
And neither horse nor ass bestride;
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall also talk.
Iran in the water shall float
As easily as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be founds and shown
In a land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do
And England shall admit a. Jew.
Three times three shall lovely, France
Be led to dance •a bloody dance •
Before her people shall be free;
Three tyrant rulers shall she see
Each springing from. a different dynasty
And when the last great fight is won
England and France shall be as one.,
And now a word in uncouth rhyme '
Of what shall be in latter' time.
In those wonderful far-off days
Women shall get a strange new craze
To dress like men and, breeches wear
And cut off their beautiful locks of
hair, '
And ride astride with brazen brow
is witches do on broomsticks now.
Then love shall die and marriage cease
Aad babes and• sucklings, so decrease,
That wives shall fondle cats and dogs
'And men live much the same as hogs.
In eighteen, hundred and ninety-six
Build 'yetis -houses of rotten sticks
For then shall might wars be planned
end fire and sword sweep over til
land.
And those who live the century through
In fear and trembling this will do.
Fly to the 'hounntains and to the glens,
To bogs and forests and wild dens,
For tempests will rage and oceans will
• roar,
And Gabriel stand on sea and shore;
And as he toots his wondrous born
old` wands. sba,ll die and n,ew be bgrn ,
Iu die fir urea nihi1 be seen,
Iu white, in Mach and aleoo gTeea,
Now strange, but • yet they . eltali b

ments 'free,
When ships like fishes swim belew
the sea,
When men outsrtr-ippleg birds can
scour the sky,
Then half the world deep drenched- in
blood shall dile.
At the time the prophecy was utter-
ed, Primrose Hill was two miles tram
London; now it is nearly in; the heart
of the city, but a short distance from
Regents Square..,
On December • 11, 1917, the British
army entered Jerusalem and captur-

FARM NOTES.
Plowing 'Match
The 1937 annual four-day Interna-
tional plowing match and demonstra-
tion of farm maceinery, under` the
auspices of the Ontario Plough's
Association, will be held at Fergus,
Ont., on October 12, 13, 14 and 15.
Located as it is 14 miles north of
Guelph, Fergus is an deal rendezvous
for. the famous Meeting, and it is ex-
pected by the Manager of the Associa-
tion, J. A. Carroll, East Black, Perna -
went Buildings, Toronto, that the
wide -spread interest evinced in form-
er meetings, particularly at Cornwall
in 1936, will be eclipsed by the en-
thusiasm already shown. In this year's
meet. Over 400 entries are anticipat-
ed and several internationally fam-
ous ploughmen have intimated their
intention to compete. There will be
a different programtne every day. Not-
withstanding that )Slowing affords the
chief interest, an important' part of
the sheeting is the demonstration of
.the latest types of farm equipment.
Care of Poultry
Commercial poultrymen have known,
for a long time that the months of
August and. September are the two,
neast profitable months in the year if
egg production can be maintained at
this time. The normal trend of egg
prices is up and at fairly rapid rate,
because the bulkof the flocks of old
birds in the country are falling off in
production and most of the new pul-
lets ehave, not yet started to lay. Ev-
ery effort, therefore, that can be
made to maintain production at friss
time, should result in added profits.
This means that it is moat desir-
able to watch the condition of the
birds, and should, there be any indi-
-ation of their falling off in weight,
increase hibe amount of grain fed
slightly in order to hold up this body
veight as long as possible and there-
by' ward off a molt. It le extremely
important that clean, fresh drinking
water be available at all times, for
water is an, essential for gond egg
production. It may be necessary to
change the -water two or titres times
If
If every human life in a village of 800 people in the
Province of Ontario were snuffed out in one day, news-
papers throughout the entire world would carry the story
of the ghastly tragedy.
If one of your loved ones—or even a friend—were a victim,
it would become quite a grievous, horrible, personal loss !
That is precisely what is going on in Ontario this year.
Nearly 800 people will be killed on our highways. Nearly
14,000 will be injured — many of them crippled; many
of them suffering almost unbearable pain. Death and
7G
untold suffering stalk our highways and this must stop
RECKLESS DRIVERS BEWARE
Motorists have been requested to be courteous on the road
but the death toll mounts at an appalling rate. This Depart-
ment, with the aid of our internationally famous police force
and public-spirited citizens, intends to put reckless drivers
off the road ! You must stop cutting in,. passing on hills and
curves, crowding,` racing, taking chances. Unless you have
regard for the safety and convenience of other users of our
highways you will soon find yourself in serious trouble.

Poison Control of Potato Beetle
The best and cheapest poison to
:use in the control of the potato beetle
in Eastern Canada is .,caIchum arsen-
ate, at the rate of lee pounds to 40
eallons of Bordeaux mixture, the Bora
Beaux itself being composed of 6 lbs.
copper sulphate, 4 lbs, lime, and. 40
gallons of water. If the 'calcium arses-
ate is used alone in water instead of
Bordeaux, two to three pounds of hy-
drated lime should be added to each
40 gallons. Should arsenate of lead
or Paris green be preferred to the
calcium arsenate as the poison to be
used, two to three pounds of the ar-
senate of lead, or one-half to ' one
pound of Paris green may be su'bst'i-
tuted in each 40 gallon barrel of
spray.
Same growers prefer to apply the
poison in powder form, using a durst
oomposed of one part of arsenate of
lead to six .parts of hydrated lime.
Best results in dusting are secured
when the application is made in the
early morning oil late evening w1hen
the vines are wet with dew and, the
air calm.
ea spraying potatoes, the poison
idrduld be mixed with Bordeaux as
the latter material •is not only a, vale
able fungicide but repels the attack
of such destructive insects as Oen
beetles and leafhoppers. Two or three
applications do a season should give,
sufficient protection from all insects.
Potato beetles are usually found aa•
the field before the new crop of pota-
toes is even up and they' lay theles
eggs on the undersides. of. the leaves.
When the yellow masses of eggs are
hatched is the time to snake the first
application of the poison: in spray-
ing, both :the upper and lower sur-
faces of the leaves eixouid be cover-
ed with an abundance 'e • the mater-
ial. When the plants are small, 5g'• • ;...
to 75 gallons per acre and when the
plants are fully grown, 109 to
gallons per acre is not too much at 1.,--,
each application. -
