BLYTH, ONTARIO, WED, NES'DAY, MAY 25, 1938.
STORES IN BLYTH AND CLINTON
• BROKEN INTO ON TUESDAY MORNING
James Heffron's Butcher Shop Entered and ' Cash
Register Emptied.
Counter's Bowling Alley Entered At Clinton.
Night prowlers visited Blyth on i
Monday night when they entered the
butcher shop owned by Mr, JAmes'
Heffron on the main street and car-
ried off about fifty dollars in cash
which had been left in the cash reg-:
ister, It is thought that the robbers
first entered the garage of Mr. Ches-
ter Morrison where they secured a
small bar which was used to "jimmie"
the door of Mr._Heffron's shop open.'
The marks on' the door indicated
that such an instrument had been
used and the lock was completely
busted off, It is thought by police
that the robbery occurred around two
o'clock in the morning.
About two -thirty the same night
it was discovered that the Bowling
Alley in Clinton owned by Mr. Nor-
man Counter had also been entered
and it is estimated that about thirty
dollars in cigarettes were taken, Tho
cash ,register was also opened but
...h ng was there for the boys who
do their evil deeds in the wee sma'
hours of the morning; This is the;
second raid made in Clinton in the
past three weeks and the Alley 'has!
been a victim both times, Officers
McCoy and Ferguson were immediate-
ly called on the job but apparently
the robbers covered their trail very
well. It was thought at first that
the robbery in' Quinton was a local
job but in the morning when it was
discovered that Mr, Heffron's store
had also been entered and that the
same method of entering was used
in both cases, police were inclined to
change their mind, believing that the
same men had first visited Blyth and
then continued on, to Clinton, Mr.
Counter was at the store late that
night not leaving until about one -
thirty and the police make their
rounds every hour, so that the rob-
e- hers had the job pretty well timed.
Constables McCoy, Ferguson and
the local police have been .on the
case since the robbery was discover-
ed but at time of writing no trace of
the men has been found.

Among the Churches
Trinity Anglican Church
"Consecration and Fellowship" was
the theme of the service in Trinity
Church on Sunday last, The Bishop's
Messenger, the RUM Dean, the Rev,
W. G, Bugler, B.A., L Th., of Bay-
field, preached a very forceful ser-
mon, using the text: "Be ye doers of
the word, and not hearers only." "We,
as individuals, are part of the world's
disease, or part of its cure. We 'are
spreading abroad hatred, se'.fishne7s,
greed and the spirit of war, or we are
disseminating love, brotherhood,
fellowship—the spirit of Christ, If
Communists had a meeting -place in
every community, and a paid agent
in every village, their doctrine would'
spread over the world like wild -fire,
There is a Church in every commun-
ity, and some boast of three and four,
with a paid agent in nearly every
centre, and the sad part is, that Chris-
tianity is not spreading or expanding
as it should. The fault is with the
individual follower of Christ who is
not living a vital, consecrated life,"
he said in part,
Special Rogationtide prayers were
said, asking God's blessing on the
seed sown, and that farmers and fish-
ermen shall receive just rewards for
their labourers.
A very pleasing solo; "Just For
To -clay," was sung by Miss Alice
Rogerson, of Toronto. Immediately
after the Offertory, the National
j Anthem was sung in keening with
1 Empire Sunday. The Rector, they
Rev. R. .M. Weekes, was in charge
of the Bayfield Parish.

Diamond Jubilee with special Ser-
vices on Sunday, June 12th. The Rec-
tor will conduct the morning service.
The Rev. W. H. Hartley, L.Th., Rec-
tor of the Church of the Messiah,
Kincardine, and a former Rector of

ter spoke on "The significance of the

church today,

commentary on the
Highlights of the Week's News
HIDE AND SEEK: His Holiness
Popo Pius XI hasn't much liking for
Adolf Hitler in view of the persecu-
tion that priests of the Catholic
Church have undergone in Germany.
But when der Fuehrer refused to
seek an audience with the Pope on
.his recent visit to Home, the dis-
pleasure of the Vatican dropped to a
new low. To show Adolf Hitler that
his latest discourtesy had not gone
unnoticed, His Holiness closed the
Vatican museums during the whole
period of Hitler's stay.' The instant
Hitler said good-bye to Rome, the
museums were thrown upon again to
the public.

MEDALS OF MERIT: This week
at Toronto the Royal Society of
Canada is presenting medals of merit
to three distinguished Canadians.
The awards this year go to Colonel
William Wood, of Quebec City, auth-
or of many historical volumes, for
outstanding work in connection with
the history of Canada; Mazo de la
Roche, Toronto -born author of the
"Jalna" novels, "for accomplishing
in imaginative or critical literature
some achievement of significance or
conspicuous merit"; Dr. W. Lash
Miller, Professor of Physical Chem-
istry at the University of Toronto,
for his pioneer work in several new
fields of scientific interest,

"WE'RE SELFISH UP HERE'':
The former Australian Trade Minis-
ter, Sir Henry Gullett, is criticising
Canada's "grave injustice to Aus-
tralian manufacturers and British
exporters." Under the present Aus-
tralian -Canada tariff agreement, he
says, movement of goods between the
two Dominions "is amazingly one-
sided" and the Australian market
and the Australian secondary indus-
tries are being thrown open to pref-
erential competition from Canadian
manufacturers as well as from the
United Kingdon.
The Australian Trade Minister re-
signed last year because preferential
treatment extended to Canada under
the Australian - Canada agreement
was a "very bad one-sided bargain".

FORGOTTEN MEN: Names not
in the news these days are legion.
The daily papers are too busy tell-
ing us about the latest war develop-
ments, too crowded with stories of
munitions contracts being let, to fea-
ture Mahatma Ghandi (for instance);
the Duke of Windsor (except to
mention that his bathtub isn't of 20 -
carat gold) ; the Queen of Egypt;
Kemal Ataturk (who is doing so
much to make a modern country out
of Turkey); the Pankhursts; Rev.

Israel Noe (who starved himself
within an inch of the grave); Aimee
Semple Macpherson Hutton, And
there are many, many others. About
some of them, however, wo might
cheerfully say, "Good riddance:"

TWENTY MONTHS TOO LATE:'
"People who talk of preventing an-
other great war," says Captain B.
H. Liddell Hart, one of the world's
three of four greatest military ex-
perts, "are already twenty months
out of date. The second Great War
of the twentieth century began in
July, 1936, in Spain, following the
encouragement and experience which
had been gained by Japan in Man-
churia ^.nd Italy in Abyssinia in defy-
ing the League of Nations and de-
veloping the new technique of camou-
flaged war."
Grave words, those, yet they ap-
pear to be the truth, nevertheless.
It is too late for us to stop what has
already been set in motion. Wo have
only the power to chock the progress
of events which are now in the
offing
Continuing, Liddell Hart declares:
"that we have failed to see this war
in progress is due to the fact that
we are still thinking politically,
whereas the dictator states are think-
ing militarily."

Durum wheat acreage will be de-

take place mainly in Manitoba where
it will be more than offset by an in-
crease in the sowing of rust-rosistatitt

also expected to show decreases of
three and five per cent, respectively,

Pelletier, M.P. for Peace River, while Intentions are realized,
thousands of farmers are living in
the drought areas of the West at

Following this statement, Mr.
Pelletier makes the sensible sugges-
tion that a scientific survey of the
northern sections of the Prairie
Provinces be made with a view to
settling people from the dried -out
areas on suitable farming land far-
ther north.
There are also vast portions of
Northern Ontario that could bo util-
ized for a similar purpose, sections
where there is rich, fertile agricul-

WHY THE DELAY: Trans -Can-
ada Airlines are having difficulty get-
ting started on its first year, a com-
plete air service across the coun-
try. They are encountering trouble
particularly in establishing the Win-

delay: Planes which the company:
hoped soon to secure from the manu-
facturers are reportedly being sold
to the Japanese Government who aro

World — Pray For Late Mon-
soon
The leader of the British Mount
Everest Expedition has reported its
arrival at the base camp, 12 miles
away from the tallest mountain in
the world. There have been two jour-
neys of reconnaissance. This will be
the fifth British attempt to scale, says
the New York Times. The seven
members of the party have been
trained in one of the hardest schools.
They know the mountain sickness,
"the altitude" sore throat, and the
double vision, the sudden temporrary
blindness, the wastage of muscle, the
fainting fits, the breathlessness, the
dilated heart, the lassitude and the
physical decline at heights of 21,000
feet or so.
Used To Great Heights
These men are " acclimatized ",
They are used to great heights, roar-
ing blizzards, avalanches; but with
what oxygen apparatus can they be
sure of being able to move save at a
snail's pace, even to breathe, to see,
in the last 1,000 feet, if they reach it?
The North Col is more than terrible
enough.
The top of Everest is a mile higher.
The Seven against Thebes seem like
mere crazy braggarts compared with
the Seven against Everest. They
are prepared for all the dangers in
store for them. They know that the
monsoon and its enormous snows,that
will end the short timein which alone
their adventure has an opportunity,
are capricious visitors.
In 1921 the monsoon broke on Ev-
erest on July 7; in 1922 in the first
week of June; in 1924 on June 16; in
1933 on May 30; in 1935 on June 6;
in 1936 on May 25. Let us hope for
a late monsoon. It is with hope and
not gloomy forebodings that we think
of the Seven. Among well -remem-
bered names in their number we note
Odell, who at the height of 26,000 feat
was thelast man to see Mallory and
Irvine.
England has a movement for
abolishing dog licenses and taxing
bicycles instead.
A—C
Plan Includes Drastic Measures—
Half the Patients Can Do
Normal Day's Work
A plan for eradication of leprosy
throughout the world "in a very few
generations" by means of segregation
and sterilization was outlined recent-
ly by Percy Burgess, president of the
Leonard Wood Memorial for the Era-
dication of Leprosy, who has complet-,
ed a tour of leprosaria in all parts of
the world.
The plan, approved by the World
Conference on Leprosy, calls for the
segregation of lepers in colonies that
would be self-supporting by an in-
terchange of goods on a world-wide
basis. The lepers would lead a normal
life excebt that those married would
be sterilized. Mr. Burgess estimated
that 50 per cent of lepers could do a
normal day's work.
Of the world's 3,000,000 lepers, two-
thirds, he said, were in India and la
China.
Firemen Arrive
Six Months Late
LAHORE, India.—A house caught
alight in a Punjab State.
The owner sent an urgent letter
to the State fire brigade, as there
was no telephone.
The chief fire brigade officer
"acknowledged" the letter and left
it over for his successor, as he was
shortly going on leave.
The successor arrived five months
later, found it was a case for "im-
mediate" attention and forwarded it
to the Dewan (minister) "for favor
of necessary action".
The Dewan in turn submitted the
request to the Ruler for "favor of
immediate sanction."
The Ruler ordered that the State
.fire brigade "proceed forthwith to
the scene of the occurrence to avoid
further damage to the building."
When the fire brigade arrived at
the scene of the fire a new building
had sprung up in place of the one
destroyed six months earlier.

highway accidents in England and
76 per cent of the non-fatal occur "Money is not required to buy

Radium Found
Boy of 16 Discovers It—New
Product Believed Better Since
It Is Less Dangerous
Dr. E. A. Smith, of N,;w York, who
said he was associated with the late
Mme, Curio in her isolation of radi-
um, declared last week 16 -year-old
Wallace L. Minto -of Jersey City "has
something" in his claim of a safer,
more economical artificial radium,
Dr. Smith, who has laboratories at
Noah Bergen and Newark, N.J„ wit-
nessed a demonstration of the youth's
finding at the annual meeting of the
Eastern Elsct• .nit Research Associa-
tion.
Minto, a 'sigh school student, show-
ed, with the aid of a Geiger tube, what
he described as the greater strength
of his product as compared with the
genuine radium,
"Young Minto definitely has made
great strides," Dr. Smith said. "I pre-
dict a great future for him."
Made For $250 A Gram
Minto said his artificial radium was
less danerous than the genuine ar-
title due to !ewe- alpha rays and more
beta and gamma rays. It also is more
econoniical, he said, because 't was
made from ore found near his home
town, whereas genuine radium comes
fru ^ the Can,ulin-• "orth and sevaral
other distant points.
Minto, who also claims to have found
and named four new elements in the
last two years --since he was 14 years
old—said his artificial radium could
be manufactured for about $250. a
gram in small quantities, more ecotto-
mically in increased output. Genuine
radium sells for about $25,000 a gram.

Two Missionaries Shot
PEIPING. — Death of two British

ANNUAL FLOWERS
In selecting a IIst of annual flow-
ers, attention must be paid, of course,
to time of blooming and colour,
Height should also be noted as a me-
dium sized plant may be hidden by
some bushy stocks or tall cosmos, But
these are only elemental points which
every gardener of a few years' ex-
perience notes automatically. There
aro other and finer distinctions, Cer-
tain shades blend well together and
often a whole bed will be selected with
this blending in mind, Of course, tor
this sort of thing, all the plants must
bloom during the same period, Frag-
rance should be taken into account, as
•there are some spicy things like Even-

location to any other. In partial
shade, Clarkia, Annual Larkspur, Lu-
pine, Nicotine, Phlox and Verbena
should be grown. On poor soil, Portu-
hca is a favorite, as well as Alyssum,

smallest vegetables such as lettuce
and radish must be thinned out, An

is also all the room that will be need-

when these things have developed
roots an inch thick and two or three
long, every other plant should be re-
moved and used, and this proceeding
followed until the whole row is used

NOT TOO LATE
It is not too late In most parts of
Canada to order and plant perennial
flowers and even shrubs and vines.

prices are lower and while the selec-

DOES HEAT AFFECT MILK?
The question is often asked if heat-,
ing milk affects its food value. Nat-
urally the general desire is to servo
this healthful food in the most bene-
ficial way. The answer to this pert- �
inent question is that milk used in
making such dishes as soups and Iles:
serts, which necessitate heating the
milk, supplies the same valuable food
essentials—proteins, calcium, fats
sugar and vitamins—as fresh milk'
used as a beverage.
It is a satisfaction to know that
heat does not destroy the goodness in
milk, and that heating milk in the
meal is just as healthful as drinking
milk with the meal.
The Milk Utilization Service, Dom-
inion Department of Agriculture, re-
commends that milk be used liberally

TO PETITION FOR A GRANT FOR
NEW BUILDING
A special meeting of the Board of
Education was held in Exeter to con-
sider plans for the erection of a new
building in connection with the Exeter
school to provide for the two new
courses of study requested by the
Department of Education. The provin-
cial government will pay one half of
the cost of a new building up to $20,-
000 and one half of the cost of the
equipment up to $4,000. The first
thought of the Board was that when
erecting a new building at least two
additional class rooms should be pro-
vided as the present building is now
crowded. The probability is that the
new courses will have a strong appeal
to students from the country and
who otherwise stop school after the
entrance and that additional class-
room would be needed. However when
the coA of a two-storey building with
a basement and heating system was
taken into consideration the Board de-
cided that the time was not opportune
to build more. than they required at
the present time, but at the same time
to plan such a building as could be
readily added to should the demand
require it.
It was estimated that the proposed
building would cost in the neighbor-
hood of $25,000, with the government
paying $10,000, leaving $15,000 to be
raised by the municipality. Added to
this it was estimated that the equip-
ment would cost in the neighborhood
of $3,000 of which $1,500 would have
to be provided by the municipality.

ONION MAGGOT DAMAGE MAY
BE CONTROLLED
Onion maggot flies usually emerge
about the middle of May and towards
the end of the month 'commence lay-
ing their eggs in the soil at the base
of the tiny onion seedlings. Control
measures should be applied before the
egg -laying takes place.
Tho " insect scan be controlled by
spraying the young seedlings with
an oil emulsion spray, A light to
medium lubricating oil of good grade
should be used. It may be obtained
from any of the oil companies or ser-
vice stations, To prepare the spray,
mix a gallon of- Bordeaux mixture by
first dissolving two ounces of blue -
stone in a gallon of water and then
adding two ounces of hydrated lime
to the solution, Stir and pour into
a pail containing a gallon of the oil.
By means of a bucket pump or other
small sprayer, pump the liquid back
upon itself until a perfect emulsion
of the oil and Bordeaux is secured.
The process should take about five
minutes, and the mixture may be test-
ed by pouring a small amount into
water, When no droplets of oil are
found on the suface of the water, the
mixture is ready for use, Should free
oil be present, agitate further. When
the oil is thor•oiughly emulsified, mix
the two gallons with 38 gallons of
soft water, or, if the water is hard,
with 38 gallons of Bordeaux mixture.
The onions should be sprayed four
times, once a week, the first being
applied as soon as the earliest apple
blosssoms appear. In spraying, the
whole surface of the ground should
be covered as well as the tiny plants.
Thorough work is- essential to good
control, and 100 gallons of spray
should be •used per acre at each ap-
plication.

FISHERMEN, CAMPERS SHOULD
READ THIS
At this season of the year the
thoughts of fishermen, campers and
others are turning towards the buc-
olic and sylvan pleasures of the great
outdoors, Probably nowhere in the
world are facilities for such enjoy-
ment better for_ the average person
than in Canada, Almost literally
speaking, however, "there is a fly in
the ointment" in fact, too many flies,
blackflies— and mosquitoes, These
"winged demons of the forest", as
one of the early Jesuit Fathers refer-
red to them, occur in great numbers,
especially in spring and early sum-
mer, in many otherwise attractive lo-
cations,
Fortunately there are certain simple
precautionary measures that may be
taken, which will do much to miti-
gate the discomfort and annoyance
caused by these insects, These meas-
ures are discussed in a phamphlet,
prepared by direction of the Dominion
Entomologist, entitled "Methods of
Protection from Mosquitoes, Black-
flies and Similiar Pests in the forest"
and available on application to the
Publicity and Extension branch, De-
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
Proper camping sites should be chos-
en away from marshes, swamps and
stagnant pools, preferably where
there are no dense woods or under-
brush which would serve as a shelt-
er for the insects and break the wind.
Fly -proof tents should be used, and
one pair of the popular brands of
pyrethrum fly spray and a suitable
atomizer should be kept on hand to
destroy insects that may find their
way into the tents or other quarters.
It is also advisable to include a fine -
mesh bobbinet headnet in the list of
equipment, and old kid gloves, if these
are available, Suitable clothes should
be worn, bearing in mind that mos-
quitoes will bite through one thick-
ness of ordinary clothing. Various
protective mixtures are of great value
in warding off attack, when applied
to exposed parts of the skin, The
following 'formulae have been used
with. satisfaction by many persons:
(1) Oil of citronella, 3 ounces; spirits
of camphor, 1 ounce; oil of tar, 1 'oz.;
oil of pennyroyal, 1/4 ounce; and"cast-

A TRIBUTE TO A QUEEN
Tuesday marked another anniver-
sary of the birth of Queen Victoria.
The important part she played in
building the British Empire is re-
vealed by the fact her birthday con-
tinues to be kept by a declared holi-
day. This is unlike other sovereigns
whose birth ceases to be observed by
their death. The continuation of this
commemoration was started by King
Edward's request to hold a public
holiday in her name rather than his
own. He wanted the name of his
mother, perhaps greatest of English
Queen's, to live. Since then succeed-
ing sovereigns have not interfer•red
with the date.

was emphasized by the achievements
in Empire growth. Little did Eng-
land realize, when this girl of 18 as-
cended to the throne, the Union Jack
would fly over so much territory
three-quarters of a century later.
Under her rule the British Empire en-
joyed a long era of uninterrupted
prosperity. peace and contentment.
The sixty-four years, from 1837 to
1901, were only disturbed by three
maim'. conflicts, the Crimean and
South African wars and the rebellion
in India,
So much was accomplished in her
time that it became known as the
Victorian era, People here have a
close feeling towards this era because
one of its main events was the Con-
federation of Canada, All these not-
iceable features of a truly great
reign have been stressed recently by.
moving pictures relating to Queen
Victoria's life. Then the keeping of
May 24th, as a holiday associates the
present with the past. And long may
it continue to be observed for it is

BULL CALF
I cannot sell the little bull,
His mother loves him well,
Sho looks at him with eyes that say
More than words can tell.
1 cannot load him in a truck
And send him far away,
And listen to his mother's grief
All through the night and day.
I know that he will grow so strong
He'll break the fences down,
And gambol in the garden,
And be a clumsy clown.
And get out on the highway
And shout with all his might,
And challenge every other bull
To come and have a fight.
But now he rests in meadow grass,
Warm and sleepy-eyed,
Full of milk and glad to be
Near his mother's side.
His coat is soft as wispy clouds,
His breath is sweet and good,
He looks a little like a fawn
That strayed in from the wood.

SOFTEN THOSE SHADOWS!
No harsh shadows on the faces In this picture! The paper makes an excel.
lent reflector, allows subjects to face AWAY from the sun, not squint
INTO It! Try it and see!
WHEN one advises, "Use a re-
flector to soften and lighten
shadows," most snapshooters think,
"011, that is too complicated — too
much trouble."
As a matter of fact, any white or
light-colored surface can serve as a
reflector, to make shadows soft and
full of detail, For instance, look at a
nian reading a newspaper.The news-
paper catches light and reflects it
into his face — it is a very good
shadow illuminator,
A white spring or summer dress
catches light and reflects it to the
subject's face, and under her chin.
A broad white hat briny catches
light from the dress, and reflects
it to the subject's forehead.
A white building (see diagram)
can be used as a reflector to lighten
the shadow side of the person you
are picturing. A white picnic cloth,,
spread in the sun, reflects enough
light to soften shadows in the faces
of all the group around it.
Whenever you are taking pictures
of people, especially in sunlight,
make sure that the shadows are
softened in some fashion. Black
shadows under the subject's eye-
brows and nose ruin a picture. Use
any sort of reflecting surface — a
white cardboard, white cloth, news-
paper, the wall of a white house —
anything handy that will reflect
light. It takes only a moment to ar-
range subject or reflector properly
—and the picture will be immensely
improved,

The music had started again, and
his companion's face waved eager
signals across the table. He swung
her to her feet and they danced
again—a waltz this time, She clung
to him more confidently now, and
he smiled down at her as if she were
the only woman in the glittering

and made his adieux, covering her
embarrassment- with his protective

he had left her, or should she slip

• LESSON IX
MAINTAINING PERSONAL
EFFICIENCY
(A Personal Aspect of Temperance)
Daniel 1:8.16, 19, 20; I Corinthians
9:24.27
()olden Text.—Every man that striv-
ed'
trivetlt in the games exercised' self•con-
trill in all things, 1 Corinthians 9:25.
TIII'i LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—Daniel was carried to Baby-
lon 000 or 007 B.C. The apostle Paul
wrote his First Epistle to the church
at Corinth before A.D. 59.
Place.—Babylon was the great city
of the Mesopotamian valley, located at
the lower part of the Euphrates River.
The city of Corinth was located in the
southern part of Greece, and the epis-
tle to Corinth was written from the
city of Ephesus, in the province of
Asia, almost directly across the Aege-
an Sea from Corinth,
8. But Daniel purposed in his heart
that he would not defile himself with
the icing's dainties, nor with the wino
which he drank: therefore ho request-
• ed of" the prince of the eunuchs that
he might not defile himself. This pas-
sage has a very definite meaning, and
has a lesson that we should carefully
observe. But we cannot find that it
teaches constant abstinence from wine
any more than it teaches constant ab-
stinence from neat. That is not the
point of Daniel's determination. The
question, then, must be asked, Why
did Daniel refuse to eat the meat and
drink the wine brought from the king's
table? Professor S. R. Driver brings
most of the principal reasons togeth-
er In this comment: "The meat might
be that of animals not slaughtered in
the proper manner (Deut. 12:23, 24)
or of animals prohibited to the Jews
as food (Lev. 11: 4.7, 12, 13.20), while
the meat and the wine might have
been consecrated to the Babylonian
gods by the offering of portions to
them in sacrifice, so that to partake
of either would be tantamount to the
recognition of a heathen deity (I Cor.
10-:20, 27.29). There was no security,
Ili refore, that, in every mouthful he
might take of this meat and drink
from the table of the king Daniel
tvunld not be violating the laws of his
God. The question consequently was,
whether he should consult his consci-
ence or his appetite and comfort. The
worldly-wise may call it squeamish-
/ tress, anti sneer at it as a straining at
gna'.+, that Daniel . .olved not to de-
file himself with the viands of the
king's tab'r3; but It was the , great
foundation•stone of all his ,greatness,
Principle is never small.
Daniel took his stand for God, con-
science, and righte.,usness even in the'
little matter of his meat and drink,
and thus laid the groundwork of a
character which passed untarnished
and unscathed throng) seventy years
of political life,
Appeal to Self -Interest
9. Now God made Daniel- to find
kindness and compassion in the sight
of the prince of the eunuchs. One can-
not_ help thinking in reading this pas
sage of a similar experience of Joseph
(Gen. 39:21), who, though thrown into
a dungeon becat..;e of a terribl.. crime
of which lie had been accused, found
favor in the sight of the keeper of the
Egyptian prison.
10. And the prince of the eunuchs
said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the
king, who hails appointed your food
and your drink: for why should he
see your faces worse looking than the
youths that are of your own ago? so
would ye endanger my head with the
Icing, The chief of the eunuchs knew
that personal good looks were an im-
portant matter with Nebuchadnezzar,
If they were badly nourished, these
Hebrew youths would be handicapped
in their examination before the king,
The chief of the eunuchs first appeals
to the self-interest of the youths be-
fore him, but as that does not move
them, he Ilex: tells them that his own
life would be endangered,
11. Then said ''auiel to the stoward
whom the prince of the eunuchs had
appointed over Daniel, IIananiah,
Mishael, and Azarlah: 12. Prove thy
servants, I beseech thee, ten days;
and let them give us pulse to eat, and
water to drink, 13. Then let our coun-
tenances be looked upon 'before thee,
and the countenance of the youths
that eat of the king's dainties; and as
thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Daniel's determination here speaks
well for the hone in which he was
brought up. Some one must have in-
structed Daniel most faithfully in the
things of the Ifebrew faith, and prob.
ably his mother and father lived virtu-
ous lives before him, the beauty and
sincerity of which would never pass
out of his heart and mind,
Simple Food Only',
Daniel's simple request was that in
place of the rich food which the king
had ordered set aside for him and the
other three Jewish youths who had
been selected with hint to live in the
court, they should give him what is
here called pulse. Pulse meant noth-
ing ,else but vegetables, as far as we
know. The word itself means "seeds."
14. So ho hearkened unto them in
this matter, and proved them ten days.
15. And at the end of ten days thou'
countenances appeared fairer, aijd
they were fatter in flesh, than all the

should drink, and gave then pulse,

Soil Erosion Helps
Keep Dentists Busy
Modern Refining of Food Hastens
Tooth Decay
Delegates to the annual conven-
tion of the Pennsylvania Dental So-
ciety were told that soil erosion was
indirectly responsible for increased
tooth decay among the American
people,
Plants growing on impoverished
soil, said Dr. Fred Miller, president
• of the society, are deficient in cal-
cium, phosphorous and other mater-
ials necessary for sound teeth.
Robbed of Mineral ingredients
Ile said that certain foods were
robbed of additional ingredients by;
modern refining pt'occsses.
"Ninety-eight per cent. of all
Americans have imperfect teeth," he
declared, adding:
"This is definitely the result of
eating foods which have been de -
mineralized either through soil ero-
sion or by refining, as in the case of
white sugar and white bread."
Must Protect Nerves
It is as much the doctor's job to
treat that typo of illness, he added, as
it is to overcome any of the more ob-
vious sorts of human ailments,
Dr. Perkins, a Brooklyn neurologist,
made the observation with a detailed
paper an the proper care of chronic-
ally ill persons from the point of view
of protecting their nerves.
In persons both "mentally ill" due
to unhappiness and suffering some ac-
tual organic trouble, he said, the ono
so aggravated the other than a physi-
cian must realize that "gratification"
of the patient was "just as exacting
as the localization of a brain tumor
or the successful treatment of menin-
gitis."
Coaching of Relatives
Taking as an example a woman suf-
fering from arteriosclerosis, a hard -
lug higher percentages of this import-
ant plant food substance are increas-
ingly in demand, says 13. Leslie Ems -
lie, well-known chemist -agronomist.
The subject is referred to in the lat-
est annual report of the Ontario Re-
search Foundation, 'as follows:
"Whilst it is true that almost any land
will in time suffer from deficiency if
cropping is continued without the use
of fertilizer, it is equally true that
certain types of soil are, from the com-
mencement, low or deficient in one or
more elements. A particular example
of this relationship is to be found in
the occurrence of phosphorus deficien-
cy in the strongly alkaline clay loam
soils along the northern short of Lake
Ontario .. , Tho problems do not end
with the crops which are grown, but
extend into the field of animal nutrI-
tion. It will be obvious that stock
raised in districts with these charac-
teristics will tend to show symptoms
of deficiency diseases."
Thus, both plants and animals are
effected and the effects are passed on
to mankind, for phosphorus is not only
essential to bone building, but the
flow and nutritive qualities of milk
are dependent on an abundant supply
of this element,

Conquers That
ening of the walls of the arteries, Dr, "Tired Feeling"
Perkins said that in such a case the
doctor must not limit his treatment to
the patient alone. Fresh Vegetables, Salads and Fruit
"Tire children or relatives," Ire ad-
ded, "must receive equal. attention.
They must be informed of the exact
nature of the illness and be told of the
proper attitude to be taken toward the
patient; not to discuss her symptoms
with her; not to increase her anxiety,
and, above all, the ways and means of
making a suitable environment in
which she may live."
"This phase of treatment is, in cer-
tain instances, more difficult than the
care of the patient,"

Will Give You Pep and Color
What sulphur and molasses were to
the girls of grandmother's day, exer-
cise and a fruit juice and salad diet
are to modern women. One sure way
to get rid of so-called spring fever in
no time at all and to eliminate the
sallow tones which most skins seeps to
hare at the end of winter is to plan
a new kind of health schedule.
The very day you find it difficult to
concentrcte on your work or feel pret-
ty unhappy about your face, not to
mention your figure, you Might go to a
fresh vegetable, salad and fruit diet,
for three days. This means that you
may have fresh fruit juice and a bowl
of stewed fruit for breakfast, a large,
crisp, green salad and au orange, ap•
pie, grapefruit,; or tangerine for lunch;
a couple of cooked vegetables, another
salad and more fruit for dinner.
Throws Off Lethargy
You may have a glass of milk be-
tween each health areal, and you ought
to drink six to eight glasses of water
a day. You are not necessarily trying
to lose weight. You're trying to throw
off the feeling of lethargy that has
caught up with you.
For the next two weeks, try being
a bit of a Spartan, doing setting -up ex-
ercises for ten minutes each morning,
whether you feel like doing them or
not, walking at least half a mile a
day. Try to get eight hours of sleep
every night, eat lightly, drink quanti-
ties of fru:. juice, Such a routine will
make your skin clear and lovely at
the sante time that it eliminates the
worn-out feeling.
No "Chips Off
The Old Block"
Psychiatrist Says Theory of Child
Like Parent Old-F�silks: ed
It may be a sad blow to proud par-
ents, but New York State's Mental
Hygiene Department is convinced that
there's no such thing as "a chip off the
old block." Dr. Donald W. Cohen,
chief guidance psychiatrist, says the
theory a child is just like his parent
is as old-fashioned as the belief of
"spare ,the rod and spoil the child."
"It's true," concedes Dr. Cohen,
"that the child often inherits physical
characteristics of Isis parents, But
that doesn't mean that the nrenal al-
titudes are the same.
"The child no natter bow much he
looks like his father, for example,
should be considered and treated as a
distinct individual, lie should be giv-
en the chance to make decisions for
himself and not follow out the p.;l e.,i's
ideas on every problem."

Maxie "Red" Katz, 20, says he ran
42 miles from Hamilton to Toronto to
set/what he claims is a world's re-
cord for the distance. His time, he
adds, was five hours, 15 minutes.
He arrived at the Toronto city hall
hungry and penniless, in running
shorts. An acquaintance fed him and
sent hint hone in trousers hold by
safety pins.
Fifteen months' training lay behind
hint when Ito set out from Hamilton
city hall at 10 a.nr. with five fellow
runners from the Central Athletic
Club, he said. An automobile and two
bicycles were "also rans."
Two utiles west of Oakville the au-
tomobile ran out of gasoline, the other
runners gave up and turned back.
"What the heck, I figured, there's only
another 20 miles or so to gc, so I
might as well keep ort," he explained.
"My wind was good all the way. My
legs started to feel heavy around Oak-
ville so I just lengthened my stride
and that made me cover more
ground."
"What if your record is not accept-
ed as official?" "Then I'll run it
again. It's not my fault the others
dropped out and it's not my fault
there was no one there to meet me."
Finds Death Ray
That Saves Lives
American Scientist Invents Method
That Kills Germs, Not
People
A death ray that saves lives by de-
stroying it has been invented by an
American scientist. The lives that it
saves are the lives of human beings,
The lives that it destroys are those of
germs.
This death ray will kill the worst
infection in wounds as easily as it will
kill a common cold. And it kills a
cold in ono second,
Kills Cold In One Second
Even the most virulent germs shriv,
el up when the ray is turned on them,
Its value during surgical operations is
incalculable. When the operation is
carried on under the ray there is no
danger of infection. After a six
months' test surgeons stated that
post-operation infections practically
disappeared in the cases treated,
The man in the street may benefit
from its use daily, in restaurants and
at home. No matter how much glasses
and table ware are washed, they are
never free from germs. The ray ren-
ders them absolutely pure, and also
keeps meat and food in perfect con-
dition.
The wonderful thing about it all is
that this ray, deadly to all forms of
germs, is harmless against human be -
tugs, The process of using the ray is
called "rentschlerisation," from the
inventor's came, Dr. Harvey 0. Rent-
schler,

Transvaal Farmers Are Successful
In Novel Attempt When Roads

Once again Man's ingenuity has tri-

JIM HUNTER= -GONE, WITH THE
In discussing weeds and weed con-
trol, Mr. Wm. Wallace, discussed the
losses due to weeds by way of de-
creased yields; robbing soil of plant
food and moisture; increasing the
I cost of every farm operation; low=
• eying the market value of crops and
value of farms, etc. This annual loss
amounts to millions of dollar's each
year in Ontario, stated the speaker.
He also emphasized the importance
of sowing clean seed, soil fertility,
thorough cultivation, a short rota-
tion of crops, early maturing varie-
ties, clovers, smother crops, the use'
of chemical, roguing, pasturing, hoed,
crops, summer fallowing, • after har- i
vest cultivation and the disposal of
weed seeds, all of which are impor-1
tant factors in weed control.
The cleaning of the threshing ma-
chine and all equipment before mov-,
ing as provided for in the Weed Con-
trol Act will assist greatly in con-
trolling the spread of weed seeds on
to roadsides and on to neigtbouring
farms, It was pointed out that
threshers should be vitally interest -r
ed in weed control. Their business
and revenue is governed by the con-
dition of the crop which is being
threshed. These in some cases may'
be lowered 75% due to the presence
of weeds. The co-operation of ev-
ery thresher is solicited in a Provin-
cial wide weed control, crop im-
provement programme. The regis-
tration of threshing machines was
also thoroughly discussed and it was'
explained that (1) every threshing
machine in the Province must be reg-
istered. (2) Every threshing machine
will be issued a certificate. (3) Ins
the case of every machine which op-'
crates for hire the fee of $1.00 must
accompany the application. A 11
threshers must be treated alike and'
if we hope to retain their goodwill
and to secure their co-operation this
work must be thoroughly done, stat-'
ed the speaker. Weed Inspectors'
were urged to see that this legisla-
tion was adhered to within their re-'
spective districts.

or occupant fails to co-operate the
costs of which may be charged
against the property and collected in
the same manner as taxes.
Penalties are also provided in the
Act for those who fail to observe its
provisions.
For weeds listed as being noxious
see The Weed Control Act.
Weed inspectors were instructed to
make a thorough job of cleaning up
to endeavor in every possible way to
arouse interest in the work and to'
secure the co-operation of everyone,
to use good judgement when dis-
charging their duties and to be firm I
when it was found necessary to en -1
force the Act.
Municipal Councils are appointed
by ratepayers to safeguard their in-
terests. Profitable crops cannot be r
grown when weeds are present, Wee -i
dy farms mean lower yields, less
revenue for the grower and eventu-'
ally unpaid taxes. Municipal Coun-I
cils cannot evade their responsibility,
with regards to the control of weeds.'
It will pay them in dollars and cents
to adopt a weed control policy and
to enforce it vigorously, stated the
speaker. Good Weed Inspectors
must be appointed. They must be
well paid and supported in their
work. The part which the Road
Superintendent plays in the control of
weeds was also emphasized. Roads
are public property, owned by the
municipality. The Municipal Council
is administrating the Act and should
first clean up its own property there-'
by setting a good example to the
ratepayers and thus making the work'
of their Weed Inspector much eas-
ier. The destruction of weeds on'
roadsides is road maintenance and
the road authority is responsible for
seeing that the work is done before
seeds mature. He must have the
support of his council in this work,
The Weed Control Act itself will
not control a single weed it was stat-
ed. Any work done must be the re-
sult of definite human action. The
co-operation of every ratepayer is
necessary. Pressure brought to bear
on the Municipal Council by the rate-
payers will strengthen their hand.
Knowing that they have the support
of the public in this important work
of weed control, the Council will be
in a position to adopt a vigorous
clean up campaign and the work of
the Council, Road Superintendent,
and Weed Inspectors will be much
more pleasant.
Weeds within the corporate limits
of cities, towns and villages are a
disgrace to the municipality.
The importance of the tourist in-
dustry in Ontario was emphasized
Approximately $120,000,000 was
spent in Ontario by tourists in 1937.
The use of chemicals for the eradi-
cation of weeds is past the experi-
mental stage it was stated. Chemi-
cals are now being used extensively
and successfully for the eradication
of weeds and brush on 'roadsides,
fence lines, paths, etc., and for the
control of small patches of new weeds
and persistent perennials in cultivat-
ed areas,

ed throughout the Province during

We are a Jim Hunter fan. For years
we have listened fairly regularly each
morning and evening to Jim's kaleido-
scopic review given with machine gun
speed of the fast moving events of
this sometimes crazy old world, We
have looked upon Jim as an outstand-
ing Canadian newscaster—and we still
do—but his simon pure news program
has been ruined under commercial
auspices. Jim Hunter is now sponsor-
ed by Alka Seltzer. If we are to be-
lieve what the announcer says about
this effervescent saline, you just drop
one or two crystals or pellets into a I
glass of water, and lo and behold that
uncomfortable wind of the tummy dis-
appears like magic. And in like man-
ner Jim Hunter's prestige as a prem-
ier newscaster of Canada, has with

means the only one who thinks this
way. We have heard dozens of com-
ments about Jim Hunter's new role, i
and we think that his estimated 31

have him return to his former position
as ",The Telegram Talking Reporter," I
than to have him as he is now, both
dispensing and dispelling wind, under
a strange sponsorship.

THE COMMUNITY- SPIRIT
It is not good for any man to get
the notion that he has done to much
for his town and community. The man
does not live who can do as much for
his community as it has done for him.
Too many of us are thin-skinned and
ready to take offence and retire in our
shell because we heard a chance re-
mark belittling our abilities. When this
happens we may think that our efforts
are unappreciated at times, And may-
be they are. At the same time the
individual should remember that what-
ever success he has had has been de-
pendent upon the community, and its
people in one way or another—and he
should not forget that collectively the
people have appreciated his work even 1
though there is a minority that does
not view his efforts with favor. Dur -I Window Service for Shoe and Har-

The Country Newspaper
The Country Weekly is the most

community, welcomed fifty-two times
a year. In some families it has been
a fixture for generations.
It is in most instances a tried and

talks the language of the people it
visits, knows them well and under-
standingly tells its news of the
neighborhood simply and quickly ing a
spirit of good -will, does not overstay
its welcome and drops out of sight
until another week rolls around.
The Country Weekly has been for
generatiotrs and still remains the
sensitive news centre of the towns,
villages and widespread countryside.
It is woven out of the fabric of the
lives of the people who read it. It
maintains close association and in-
timate contact with them. No other
