The death toll during these periods is not confined to those who •are travelling in cars as there are a great many catastrophies at holiday points such as lake resorts, etc. To-morrow is Dominion Day, so let all strive to keep this day as free from sorrow as possible. A little care goes a long way at the beach and such places and those who follow the ’’Courtesy” campaign of the Depart­ ment of Highways will do much to keep the highways safe. The record of accidents following week-ends and holidays reminds one -of the casualty lists during the war. This great number of accidents and ■deaths may be cut to small figures when each person accepts their responsibilities. * * * IFIRE The innocent cigarette stub or ■match that is not properly extinguish­ ed or a picnic fire that is carelessly left, may be the means of much de­ struction. During the dry spells of the summer great damage has been rlone by persons who have been a lit­ tle careless. Remember as you drive along the road, a lighted cigarette thrown carelessly out of the car may be the means of destroying the crop of some hard-working person. A fire left to once again flare in the summer breeze may be the cause of burning much valuable timber. When you light a picnic fire remember that it takes years for a tree to grow into a useful size. Care in the above matters may be the means of saving great destruction from fires. Use safety fire methods. * 4c * * THE AUTO TRAILER It has been said that the world Is on wheels and when one watches the traffic these days it is difficult to dis­ agree with the statement. This last few years the trailer has come into •general use and people are using them more and more, in fact it has reach­ ed such great proportions that uni­ form regulations have been adopted throughout Canada. The regulations have' to do mostly with sanitation and those who travel by trailer or con­ template doing so, should make them­ selves familiar with the law. - It is prohibited to live permanent­ ly in a trailer within the limits of any city, town or municipality, except within the provisions of all local by­ laws and regulations. All automobile trailers and their occupants are sub­ ject to the provisions or regulations respecting disease control, under the Public Health Act. rapidity in France.

Blend these ingredients together with a pas­ try blender or two knives until the fat particles are the size of peas. Slowy add the liquid mixture-made by combining two tablespoons vinegar burn it. Pour this over the berries and mix well and stand to chill. Serve with cream. This is simple to prepare and makes a quart of berries go farther than it would if you have a large family to serve.

Wash and stem the berries, add the sugar and mash them together in a saucepan, bring slowly to boiling point, and, remove from heat and force through sieve. Chill.

Pour into freezing tray of elec­ tric box or . into individual paper moulds or sherbet cups and allow to freeze. If you top this dessert with addi­ tional whipped cream and a whole strawberry and then freeze each in­ dividual serving, it is ready to serve without further attention and is de- cidely attractive for a dessert for a summer dinner party.

When I was discharged I felt like an old man, al­ though I am only 31. If I stooped to do anything it was agony to straighten up again. Several people advised me io try Kruschen Salts, I tried them and found they gave me relief from pain and I felt better in every way, I cycle 28 miles a day to and from work and shall keep up the daily dose of Kruschen because I can now do the journey to and from work and not feel any the worse for it.” — S.V.C. When the internal organs cease to do their work, properly, impurities be­ gin to accumulate in the system, and cause troublesome symptoms. Kru­ schen Salts help to stimulate the liver and excretory organs to healthy, reg­ ular activity, and thus assist them to rid the system of harmful impurities. • The above muffins are so delicious 1 they , may be used for Sunday tnorn- i ing breakfast for most important : guests—or as dessert if a little whip­ ped cream is used to top them.

The tiny animals are join­ ed together by a fleshy band. The four survivors are held, side by side, all facing the same way. ,The fifth, which died, was reversed compared with the other four.. Its head faced in the opposite direction, and it was on its back. It was the weakling of the quintuplet. It was unable to eat, for while the others ate it could only lie on its back and. feebly paw the air, and the others would allow it to remain in a nursing position. Mrs. Wilson f'ed it with a spoon. When the weakling died the mother cat is said to have knawed it free from the living kittens. The “jungle surgery” was apparently successful for on last inspection the four remaining show­ ed no ill effects. Though fairy tight­ ly held together they seem by in­ stinct to know how to untangle them­ selves at feeding time.
