Way' Of Life
Optimum health is more than
the absence sit disease. It im-
plies physical, mental and social
well-being for the individual'
under his way of life. Fitness
is not a matter of being up and
about .or of staying out of a
hospital. The porms for fitness
vary as the walks of life vary
One is fit foe what? Fitness is
the ability to respond to the
demands of your life.
Only one Canadian in six has
even a minimum degree of fit-
ness, according to a recent sur-'
vey of more than 50,000 people
ranging in age feom 13 to '50 in
all provinces. British Columbia
heads the list with 34.8 per cent
of the population able to meet
the minimum fitness standards.
Ontario is the lowest with: only
10.3 per cent of the population

Walking Sticks
And• Their Owners
When Sir Winston Churchill
takes a walk at his country
home in Kent, he usually car-
ries a favourite walking-stick.
During a recent visit to Chart-
well, Mr. Macmillan, the Prime
Minister, went for an after-lunch
walk , with. Sir ,Winston and he,
too, carried a walking-stick.
Both men prefer a walking-
- stick to an umbrella while in
the country.
In this they resemble two

The average person does not
need any encouragement about
rushing the season, Most Of them
ere far too ,041,1iled to tear out
the first line day and plant every
single flower and vegetable seed
they have ptirchaSed. Sonsetimee
they even plant in the rain and
very often long before the soil
is really fit to Work, The experi.
enced gardener, however, knows
that there axe safe ways of rush-
ing the season, little tricks that
will, produce flowers and vege-
tables perhaps a week or LEA
days ahead of the fellow next
door. But they don't get these
early things simply by going out
and planting too soon and in the
mud. They practise approved
short cuts,
Take such really warm wea-
ther things as tomatoes, melons
or cucumbers among the vege-
tables or some of the more ten-
der flowers. The experienced
gardeners will risk a small
planting" of these extra early,
perhaps ten days or two weeks
before the main plantings. But
these early rows of plants will be
protected for the first weeks
when there is danger of late
frost. They will be covered with
special !wax •paper covers; or
panes of glass or perhaps if one
doesn't mind extra trouble sim-
ply covered loosely with news-
papers at night.
Then too, we may hurry
growth with extra fertilizer or
with special prepared soil, or for
a few extra early tomatoes or
petunias we may get extra big
' started plants and for the first
few weeks keep protected.
Easier To Handle
Straight rows and as long as
possible iii the vegetable garden
are not a sign of fussiness, but of
efficiency or common sense. It
will pay a dozen times over to
take a little care in planting our
carrots, lettuce, beans, and toma-
toes straight and evenly spaced.
When we do this cultivation,
'either by power or by hand, is
simple and quick and it is -'safe:
too, even when the new pleats
are just starting to peek through
the'. soil, If we are sure the row
is straight and the plants in the
row- evenly spaced then we can
weed quickly and, cultivation-:i's
only half the chore it wouldebe
if the seed was tossed in Ally-
where, A' long' string and 'Soine
good stakes are absolute musts
in planting-. Because the neat
vegetable .garden is, so easily
.cared for, many gardeners. also
plant the flowers they will exse
for' cutting right along" side the
'vegetables: This is an 'excellent
-place for a 'row of sweet peas,
for the, main ,planting gf gladio-
lus and for any flower seeds left
over frOm the regular beds,
This Is Vital „
There is nothing so important
as the seed We plant in' bur flower
or vegetable garden. Soil, eh-
m a-t e -and cultivation may be
ideal but unless the, seed is good
nothing else will matter. And
good seed means fresh, pure
strain seed and of a variety that
is especially suited to Canada.
The successful gardener does
not take any chances with some-
thing left over from last year.
He makes sure that what he
plants comest.from a reputable
and Canadian source and that it
is fresh this year.
Trenches For These
Carrots, parsnips and other
deep rooted vegetables often
have a tough time getting down
deep into the soil, especially in
heavy clay, and in trying to do
so they become twiste4 and
branched. When we go to pull
them we too may have a tough
time and leave about as many
toots in the ground with the tops
twisted Of as we actually har-
vest. The wise gardener prevents
ell this fuss and less by planting
theSe deep rooted Vegetables in a
trench filled with loose, Sandy
Soil mixed with compost. In such
a mixture seed germinates more
quickly, the young plants art
easily thinned and when we gie
to harvest there is lid trouble in
pulling, -as a mere shake will
loosen them front the Soil.

Investigators recently turned

looking for a gold brick that had
vanished. Servants were: Lquee-

The it was found that a, Kiag's

member of the domestic staff
began to supplement his own in-
come by selecting extra pieces
— and the police paid little at-
tention to the dealer pushing his
barrow, down a main drive . . .
until they discovered it was
laden with booty.
Still more startling was the
theft of part of the Irish Crown
Jewels from Dublin Castle in.
1607, at a time when the castle
was still considered 'a royal do-
main, King,Edward and Queen
Alexandra were visiting the
Castle and were expected to

insignia of the Order of St,

Q. How can I prevent a bruise
,from' becoming •discolored?
A. It is claimed that if a bruise '
is rubbed with butter as soon
as' the bump occurs, it will sel-
dom become discolored.
Q. How can I whiten the skin?
A. An application of equal
parts 'of rose water and lemon
juice acts as a 'skin whitener.
Q. How can. I remove warts?
A., Castor oil, lemon juice, Or
kerosene, applied several times
daily fora few days, will cause
them• to disappear. Applicatloris
of, oil of cinnamon three tieries
daily will remove them with-
out soreness.
4. How can I make a key turn
more easily in a door lock?
A. Try dipping the key in oil,
then lock and unlock the door
a few times. It will soon turn
smoothly. The same treatment
can be given to an obstinate
bolt.
Q, How can. I remove a rusty
screw that is obstinate and will
not move with an ordinary
screw driver?
' A. Apply a heavy skewer
heated red hot, and hold it there
until the screw is hot. Then use
the screw driver and it will turn
easily,

In Watson's "Annals of New

sIt citizen, who says, 0,1 re-
Monter the first troop of circus
riders that ever favoured the
good people of New York witha
their flip-flaps and somersets;
their leaps over any indefinite
number 6f horses, and marvel-
lous exhibitions of ground and
/airy tumbling. r was a boy then
and wept to school just on the
outskirts of the city, in ilreome
street.
41 remember the very spot (on
a high hill called Bunker's Eili,
that towered above the few
neighboring houses)* where I w'ar's
standing with some• ten or a
dozen of my sehoolfellows, when
the tidings were brought by one
of our scouting explorers 'that
something was going on clown
at the Collect.'"
Off they started in a -bee-
line, at full speed for the waste
ground, laying back of the scanty
line of houses on the easterly
Bide of the main road; now
Broadway, and stretching from
Anthony street up to Grand,
where at a point not 'far, the
writer says, from where the line
of Leonard street joints the road,
they found carpenters just fin-
ishing a small platform, some 10
feet wide by sixty feet long, and
raised a short distance above the
ground,
In the midst of boyish curio-
eity as to what it -was designed
for, the writer continues, "we
were struck dumb, with amaze-
ment by the approach of a band
of splendidly clad horsemen, in
the midst of whom rode a prin-
cess, as we supposed, gaily at.
tired in habits of very unclean
satin, bedizened with tinsel; a
tiara of damaged plumes upon
her head, and her cheeks glow-
ing with rouge of the most
brilliant intensity.
"We had heard of the glories
of circus-riding; suspicions of
the delightful truth therefore
flashed on our minds, which
was soon heightened to cer-
tainty by the appearance of one
of the horsemen, whose striped
garnients, fool's cap, and antic
manoeuvres, proclaimed him the
Clown of the company."
A performance was. immedi-
ately given, and a tambourine
banded around. In a few weeks,
the writer proceeds to say, they
moved tip to the northeast cor-
ner 'of Prince Street and Broad-
way, where they aspired to a full
-band of three drums, a trumpet
end two, fifes, "and a precious
disturbance they kicked
every afternoon," from four
o'clock till dusk, inside of their
high fence, with not a knot-
hole to peep through, and the
gate on Prince Street furnished
with "a villainous row of sharp
spikes extending along the top,
lo the utter discomfiture of every
ambitious climber."—From "The
