Advertising rates on application, A NOTE ABOUT TOXOID Last year a drive was made locally to have all children as far as possible treated with toxoid for the prevention •of diphtheria. It was an outstanding success and the doctors of town and •others who co-operated, deserve great deal of credit. Each year there are a new lot ■children who should we suggest that we example of Toronto, oid week each year, ren who have not been so treated are urged to attend the clinics. A toxoid day here would probably work out satisfactorily. We hope that the Board of Health will foster such a plan starting this year. * * * GREAT INTEREST IN ROYAL VISIT There is no subject, even the ■opean situation, that is of more inter­ est to Canadians than the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth. The task of arranging their itinerary was a very difficult one. To us it seems a shame greater number of stops will made for them as many more would, see Their Majesties.

The severe pain which''is charact­ eristic of sciatica is often - due to needle-pointed uric acid crystals in the sheath of the great sciatic nerve. Two- of the ingredient salts in Kruschen dissolve uric acid crystals, Other salts in Kruschen help Nature to expel these dissolved crystals through the natural channel. 5 King and Queen aboard, will stop for ten minutes, from 3.20 to 3.30 in the afternoon on June 6th and at London the following day the stop will fie of an hour's duration,. Both these places will be crowded as never before. We sincerely hope that arrangements can be made for our school children to see the Royal couple at either of these points. The stop at Toronto is May 22nd. We do not envy those responsible for arranging the particulars of this Royal visit. Tfieir Majesties will ar­ rive in Quebec on May 15th and sail for home on June 15th. ..In one month they will travel across Canada from coast to coast, also visit the United- States. * * THE'LAND OF THE FREE Canada can truly be called the land of the free.

FEWER ACCIDENTS HAPPENED IN 1938 Ellice, left at The Sun office one of the largest hen’s eggs we have ever seen. It’weighed six ounces, measur­ ed nine inches in ^circumference and seven and a half in girth. Mr. Steck­ ley informs us^that the Rock hen that laid this abnormal egg died a short time after the egg was found. On re­ ceiving the egg we immediately plac­ ed it in our window but it wasn’t there very long when someone 'suggested that we “blow it out" and fill the shell with plaster parts so’ that it could be kept. One of our staff vol­ unteered to do the “blowing” and he was not long in discovering that there was something inside that would not come out through the small holes we had pierced in the ends. -The opening was • enlarged, and, much to our am­ azement, it’.revealed another'average-, size hard-shelTed egg Inside- the outer shell.—Milverton Sun.

From the statistical bulletin of a large insurance mopany one learns that in the United States there was a decline, of more than 10% in the aggregate of accidents of all kinds in the year just gone. The 1938 loss is the lowest since the depression years of 1932. and 1933. The figures for Canada are not at the moment avail­ able but they will probably compare- favourably with those from across the line. ' Motor vehicle fatalities decreased about 8,000 or from about 40,000 in 1937 to between 31,00" and 32,000 in 1938. The gain was assuredly not due to less travel by jmotQr for there has not been an appreciable change in the To Receive Iron Lung As a part of the generous gesture made by Lord Nuffield, Kincardine Hospital will shortly receive an “iron lung”, used in the treatment of infan­ tile paralysis.—Kincardine News.

From the figures piled up seems to be little improvement number of persons killed in what are called home accidents in 1938. Indeed these accidents seem to be on the, in­ crease-. In every year they exceed those due to motor accidents but since they are less pectacular less'llo- tice is- given them. Canada is less disturbed by cata- cysms and floods than our neighbors to the South. We were spared such disasters as, for example, the hurri­ cane and flood in the Atlantic coastal States in September and the floods in southern California during ' February and March which together accounted for 863 lives. Tornadoes in various places in the states cost altogether about 130 lives, while the plunging of a railroad through a bridge in Mon- tana'was the cause of death to 42 per­ sons. Care on all hands would eliminate much of the lo.ss of life through acci­ dents. This care is required not only by those who handle automobiles but in every sphere of life. This is a plain fact when we consider that, as already mentioned, home accidents in each year continue to top the list'. ) I MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY LIMITED “ A K Ij R S...O F M ODER N FARM M A C H I M E It Y Ji MACHINERY HAS STRAIGHTENED UP THIS SHAPE I Millet, the French artist, son of a farmer and hitnself a farm laborer, has in his universally known pictures of—The Gleaners', The Man with the Hoe, etc., left a Very graphic record of farming methods and their influence on farm workers of a century ago. Edwin Markham, the American poet, viewing The Man with the Hoe, interprets it to us with dramatic force in his poem of the same name when he says. Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw/ Whose the handthat slanted back this brow,' Whose breath blew out the light within this brain; Ringing out the challenge, he asks—“Is this the thing the Lord, God made and gave dominion over land ahd sea”, and Calls on “Masters, lords and Rulers of all lands to straighten up this shape1 \ But each step in this great emancipation has come by the introduction of some new labor-saving machine. Thus by liberating man from back-breaking, brain­ deadening foil, modern machinery has done more than all the masters, lords and rulers Of all lands to straighten up this shape* For4 ninety years how Massey-Harris has played a conspicuous part in designing and making such labor-saving machines and in .the development of power and power equipment for farm operations.
