And yet he smiles so wistfully, Once he has crept within - I think that he still hopes to see The man I might have been. The Weed of the Week “COMMON ST. HORN’S WORT” The Common St, John’s Wort is a persistent perennial weed which is rapidly becoming established thro’- out Ontario on roadsides, old mea­ dows and pastures, states John D. MacLeod, weed expert, Ontario Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto. The weed is propagated by means of seed and slender, creeping, under­ ground rootgtalks. The stems are clustered .with wood at the b.ase, and one to two feet high; leaves, without stems, are opposite; flowers, yellow in loose clusters, the petals having black dots on the margin., No difficulty is experienced with St. John’s Wort on land which is thoroughly cultivated and which is kept under a short rotation of crops. Break any badly infested pasture field and cultivate thoroughly, Do not reseed to any crop until this weed has been eradicated, advises Mr. MacLeod. Prevent seed production by spud­ ding scattered plants or mowing or spraying. Experience has proven that this weed Will spread rapidly and smother out all other vegetation. Insist on having adjoining property ’and roadsides cleaned up. Spraying with chemicals has proven effective. Weed inspectors will give information on the proper use of chemicals. A fellow we know says he is not particular about marrying a girl with both brains and money — he says he has the brains himself. Check Discharges From the Bowels Bowel troubles, although happen­ ing at any time of the year, are more prevalent during the hot sum­ mer and early fall months. Summer Flu is one of the worst troubles, but diarrlicea, dysentery, colic, cramps and pains in the in­ testines, or any looseness of the bowels should have immediate at­ tention. The action of Dr. Fowler’s Extract of Wild Strawberry is pleasant, rapid, reliable and effectual in help­ ing to check the unnatural dis­ charges. It lias been on the market for the past 94 years, so why experiment with new and untried remedies’? Get ‘ ‘ Dr. Fowler’s ’ ’ and feel safe. The T. Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont.
