DRESSMAKER HAD
QUIT SEWING
Hands Swollen with Rheumatism
Pity this poor dressmaker! Nine-
tenths of her work consists of sew
ing* r— and she was not able to sew.
-Rheumatism in the hands was her
-trouble, and she tried any number of
remedies. But nothing helped much
— until she came to Kruschen.
“Three-and-half years ago,” she
-writes, “I had a violent attack of
rheumatic pains. My feet and hands
were swollen. The, pain was terrible,
I was really quite crippled and help
less.
“I tried' many remedies without
success, Then I started on Kruschen
Salts, and after one month, I could'
stand up again. Then, I walked with
■a, cane. In three months, I was quite
well again. As I am a dressmaker,
.you can imagine what it meant to me
not to be able to work my sewing
machine. What a treat to be able to
walk, to work, and to be free from
pain.”—(Mrs.) E.S.
The stabbing pains of rheumatism
-are often caused by needle-pointed
crystals of uric acid lodging in the
joints. Kruschen brings relief because
it helps to dissolve those troubling
crystals and to expel them from the
.system.
FRANCE’S MAGINOT LINE STANDS PREPARED AT ALL TIMES
■ I JtJwl ■ :■£
ed there himself. Big Fellow has
been around Lazy Meadows .for
Jong time. He’s a patient, docile sorjt
of fellow who is always a friend
when the children want to take him
for a ride or to • draw the big old-
fashioned cutter for a ride over to the
schoolhouse for a concert or dance.
He lumbers along, sort of slow com
pared to the driver, but he’s sure and
occasionally if demanded he can break
into a burst of speed fit to take your
breath away,
Buttinsky, our Bolshevist goat, is
trying to get something stirred up as
usual. First of all, he tried to batter
the latch off the calf pen, so that
they could run havoc among the pas
sageways. I chased him out of there,,
and the first thing I know he was
taunting Redbeard, the boar who is
located at present in the corner back
box-stall. There’s a sort of perverse
nature in Buttinsky that just won’t
let him leave well enough alone. No
matter how well you treat him, he’s
always biding his time until he can
slam you one from the back. He tries
to incite the other members of the
Lazy Meadows stable staff to revolt.
Sometimes he succeeds, and when a
general insurrection comes along he
slips blithely away from the scene
and tries to get the ones not engaged
in the fray in the heat of it. He’s a
bqrn trouble maker, and I suppose
that’s why we call him Buttinsky, our
Bolshevist goat.
The. afternoon wears on, and we
have to stop our drowsy contempla
tion. Somehow, it always seems silly
to me when I hear people saying that
nothing ever happens on a farm.
There’s more going on right under
your nose than you realize. But as
Pat said when he met the skunk “It’s
all in the way you look at it,”
Secure on the land by virtue of her
Maginot line, France is turning to her
aerial defences and to* the defence of
her colonial empire. From Belgium
to Switzerland, the underground for
tifications are a modern wall of war.
They are said to run as far back as
30 miles to the front and. extend as
•deep as 260 feet below the earth. Vis
ible signs of these military cities are
stretches of barbed wire and upended
steel rails (ABOVE). The entrance
to a surface barracks little betrays the
underground activity in the Maginot
line. Double-track railways (LEFT)
speed between ammunition dumps
and gun turrets. Elevators go up and
down from the surface to these well-
lighted tunnels.
A.Y.P.A. Held Social Evening
Instead of holding the skating par-1
ty as planned, for the Tuesday be-

Cheese in Export Trade
Exports of cheese from the chief
exporting countries of the world, rec
koned by value, account for only a
very small proportion of total ex
ports from these countries; in New
Zealand, where the proportion, is high

per cent, in 1937. The proportion has
declined in recent years in New Zea

and Italy, but has remained fairly

amounts to only otic per cent of the
