Atter dwelling on the success ob- tained by President Hoover in secur- ing the active co-operation of indus- trial leadership throughout the coun- try in the recent crisis, Sir I-Ierbert urged that it would be to the advan- tage of Canada to establish a non- partisan Advisory Council, composed of men of outstanding ability, repre- sentative of industry, agriculture and labor.

This statement was immedi- ately denied by a reader who sent the paper a photograph taken in a little street near the women's Prison de Saint Lazarre, showing the sign of a shop there, which read: "Ecrivaln Public. Ecritures Authentiques" So the paper sent a reporter to in. terview the owner of the shop. He observed an elderly woman seated be. fore a high desk busily engaged in writing. She mournfully told the re- porter of the brave days when "no- body could write" and when elle pen- ned hundreds ot epistles a day for out-ot-town Manors to the prison, for prisoners who had beep discharged, and for peasants w.ho bad come to town to find work, "But," observed the reporter, "I see that you sill hese plenty to do."

As yet there has been no concerted effort to build the tradi- tion that thero are purchases which can be Made in Canada more advan- tageously tau In the United States, If we could make purchasing. in Canada sufficiently attractive, it would make a difference of more than one billion dollars a year in our trade." floral Manager's Address, Morris W.

Now, wait until I tell you. All set? Let's go!" "Ruth Walden and Vita Gerard of Nonowantue, Long Island, were kid- napped in a house boat, the 'Sea Vamp; from Duck Harbor, Long Is- land, tonight, about nine o'clock." Slowly and distinctly Garrick launched into a brief description of the house boat and followed with a detailed description of Ruth and Vita and his own suspicion that the 'Sea Vamp" wan now somewhere in the Sound, probably on its way east, Garrick finished. There was a sil- ence, He looked about stupidly. Not that he could have expected anything else than silence. Yet it was weird, uncanny. He had spoken to a mute and invisible audience.

In the rapid fire of questions, :t ap- peared that Ruth had been getting more and more anxious to do some- thing. Vire had confessed to her that she had seen Garrick and when Glenn arrived he told of his meeting on Main. street and Garrick's message. They had agreed that the first thing ,to be done was }o fix it so that the "Sea Vamp" could not be moved away and Rutin had insisted that she be driven over there that evening no she (could disable tine engines and make it 1 impossible. They had agreed. "But why?" asked Dick, "Why? Don't you get it? The `Sea Vantp' was really the floating store- house for a lot of wet goods we were dealing in for Georges and the rest. That was Brock's real job." "I see," encouraged Garrick, "And Ruth thought they might move the boat away. So she started .o prevent that --and left me the note about it." Mlnard's Wa,ds Off Grippe.

Thoroughly they searched, but there was no trace of Rae or the others. "All the wild horses in Hades wouldn't get a word out of Georges now," Garrick observed.

The Child And Music Study Success in teaching music to'.chil• dren depends largely on getting the children interested In the music study. It goes without saying that a child, as well as an adult, will learn music or anything else quicker and better it an Interest is aroused in the study or tete pursuit, Yet it must not be imagined that the pleasing of the child le the especial goal at which we aint.

"Now, Dick," exclaimed Garrick, when they were outside, "I've got that first call off. Now to the city!" A surprise awaited therm as they drew up at Glenn's garage guarded by the Astra Agency men. "Glad you came, sir," exclaimed the agency manager himself, "I've got three men here now." The manager took him inside and closed the door. In the corner was a well-dressed man with a Greek car • of countenance, handcuffed.

It's unwise, and it's unnecessary. For a tablet or two of Aspirin will relieve a head- ache every time. So, remember this accepted antidote for pain, and spare yourself a lot of needless suf- fering. Read the proven directions and you'll discover many valuable uses for these tablets, For head- aches; to check colds. To ease a sore throat and reduce the infection. For relieving neuralgic, neuritic, rheumatic pain. People used to wonder if Aspirin might be harmful. The doctors answered that question years ago. It is not. Some folks .till wonder if it really does relieve pain. That's settled! For millions of men and women have found it does. To cure the cause of any pain you must consult your doctor; but you may always turn to Aspirin for imme• diate relief. SPIRIN TfAD5MARK Rre-
