EARNING YOUR SALT.
The word salary comes from salt.
The Roman soldiers were accustomed
to receive a certain daily allotment of
salt with their rations, and when it
was not convenient to give them salt
they were handed a monetary allow-
ance in lieu thereof with which to
purchase it, which was known as
"salarium," or salary. In many coun-
tries of the world salt is a government
monopoly, and salt smugglers are rig-
orousuly dealt with. The British gov-
ernment in India ntaintalus a fleet of
vessels for the propose of catching
men engaged in this nefarious practice.
I have seen travellers in Venezuela
heavily tined for attempting to evade
the salt import law, and on one occa-
sion an . American missionary was
find $200 at La (3•uaira for trying to
bring in a one -pound bag of salt that
cost hint five cents in New York. Italy
derives an incoce of nearly $18,000,-
000 from direct taxes 00 salt. Salt is
'obtained in three ways, from mines,
frown saline springs, and from sea-
water. The largest salt mines in the
world are located in Austria and in
Poland. Germany and Spain' also were
t;urge producers, and supplied Europe

Brockville Times and Recorder.
The acceptance (tithe deputy speak-
ership by Mr. George 11, Boivin, the
brilliant young Liberal member for
Seilord provinceQuebec,Rlsh o
ld
be hailed with great satisfaction by all
Canadians. Of even greater signifi-
cance and import than his acceptance
is that other fact that he did so on
the advice of his leader, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, These things show that
though big men Nest tenaciously for
a principle, there is 0 ground on which
they can meet for the common good.
Major 'Curie was ill-advised in
hips attack on Sir Robert for offering
this position to Mr. Boivin, A Mo-
ment's reflection would have convinc-
ed Major Currie that it is Mr, Boivin
and not Sir Robert who is making the
sacrifice, for undoubtedly in some
quarters Mr, Boivin will be criticised
foraccepting. and his movies will be
misconstrued by unreasonable men
who are not 'as far seeing and broad -
visioned as Sir Wilfred and the new
deputy speaker. This step in public
affairs arab/ be the beginning of the
perisd when misunderstandings will
disappear, and the wall of" prejudice
be broken down.
Mr. Boivin is 0 young man, born
in 1882; and not yet thirty-six years
old, '1' he mixture in his veins is, of
ingredients .that often times disa-
gree, French and Irish, hut good
nevertheless. When Geo. Il, speaks
the English language the , Irish ac-
cent is so noticeable that the sons
of Erin hip hooray for Ould Ireland,
and when he begins to parte Fran-
cais, one can almost detect "La Mar-
seillaise" rippling in tee rafters. He
is perfect master of both languages,
-!'hose who heard brim in Brockville
about a year ago at a banquet given
by the Daughters of Isebslla to Col.
de Salaeery and the 2.40tti Battalion,
will fully appreciate 1 this statement,
for on that occasion he addressed the
diners in both languages, As an ex-
ponents and interpreter of parlia-
mentary procedure and rules, Mr.
t u hasfe
n rtw
Boivin though young,

equals in parliament, When the
•rules were .being remodelled a few
years ago he made at speech that will
ever be memorable in house of com-
mons debate, and since that date his
opinions on points of order have car -
rind great weight in parliament: For
some time he ,has beeh marked as a
coning men who would climb higher
and higher in the affairs of the na-
tion, not only On account of his
marked ability, but because of his
integrity as well

"TED" RIGSBY WAS IN
BOAT WRECK
Lost Everything in Marine Acci-
dent of Irish Coast
Another chapter in the naval career
of "Ted" Rigsby, son of Rev. Walter
Rigsby, of Lambeth, who has been
serving as an engineer•in the royal
navy, has been written. The Canadian
officer -engineer has passed through a
marine accident, the nature of which
he does not specify, off The Irish coast
in which he logt practically everything
in his possession, but saved his life.
In a letter to,his father, Mr. Rigsby
assumes that the people here knew the
particulars of the episode through
*tell he passed. Comparatively new
details are given as a result although
do far his father and friends are tgno
rant of tine incident referred to. What
happened this ship is unknown, • but
Mr. Ripely wrote that it was a long,
stiff pulllbefore they were picked up,
In another paragraph he refers to the
fact that he was in charge of the boat
which went back and took off the cap-
tain and first lieutenant, later mention-
ing the fact -that his oar had been
double,banked by the Gist officer. The
coolness and courage of the senior'
officers of the vessel is praised unstint-
ingly. Com.ntent is made that had the
vessel been anything but •of • sturdy

captain would have cost theme all their

EVERYBODY --GROW EATABLES
The 'acmen01a0s in Planning Garden. -
Best Varieties to Plant.
(Contributed by Ontario Department et
Agriculture, Toronto.)
T NO TIME in many years has
the necessity and tmpol'tence
'
of the
home
vegetable garden
been so clearly shown as for
this coming summer. France, our
wonderful ally, has since the French
Revolution 'been a nation of small
farmers, her people o: small means
cultivating: some available land to
produce a portion of tt•eir own house-
hold toodstia fs and to increase the
wealth of the nation. Great Britain,
threatened' with a shortage of food-
stuffs, determined to cultivate all
available land possible to offset this
shortage and we, in Canada, bending
every energy •'toward facilitating
these great nations chould do all to
our individual power to do something'
In the hope of helping ourselves and
assisting the commerelal vegetable
growers who are seriously handicaD-
ped by the shortage of labor in the
production of vegetable foodstuffs.
Every city, town and village dweller
has an opoprtunity to help in this
great work, in that there are hun-
dreds of available plots now practi-
cally unproductive, whish could be
made grow vegetables and thus add to
the' wealth 'of the country.
Vegetables an Important Food.
Vegetables should form an import-
ant portion of the daily food of the
average human being, for they pos-
sess qualities watch we are told are
essential in the proper digestion of
the heavy foods, such as meats.
All backyards cannot be prepared
In one year to grow vegetables of an
excellent quality. I Some portion of the
yard, however, may be devoted to
this purpose, or, if It is convenient,
there are usually many vacant lots
which are not too far from one's place
of abode which possibly could be de-
voted to the growing 'of vegetables.
Some Essentials.
First of all It is essential that the
vegetable garden, no natter how
small, be planted according to some
Man or rule. No one attempts to
build a house or to set out a peren-
nial dower border without using some
drawing or chart to go by. Why
should-the.vegetable garden. be treat-
ed diTerently? Hapbazard planting
will .prove a failure, and in order to
overcome this it should be remember-
ed in laying out the garden that -
(1) Tall plants will be most effec-
tive if placed .behind low ones, not
intermingled with them,
(L) All • plants closely allied
should he grown together, not in the
same row, but 10 rows adjoining one
another:
(3) The fences may be decorated
with vine crops which may be supporta
eel on the fences by means of strings
r tattle work, P.-
(4) A11 q r c ly maiuring vege-
tables should he planted in a portion
of the garden by themselves so that
'they may be harvested and the ground
used for other crops later on.
Secure Seed Now -But Plant Only
When Soil Is Ready.
The backyard gardener stionid d•P1-
cide very early which crops are to be
grown and should purchase his seed
as soon as possible. It must be re-
membered, however, that much of
this seed may be wasted if it Is plant-
ed too early in the saason. The soil
must be warm to receive the seeds,
and amateur gardeners must have
Patience until It is certain that good
growing weather has come. It is pos-
sible in ordinary seasons to plant
some vegetables in April, and yet
many backyard vegetable enthusiasts
willtbe well advised to wait until the
middle of May before doing very
much in the garden.

NO STAMP-LI€KERS
IN NEW ZEALAND
The tongue though an unruly Mem-
ber, is often made sticky and subdued
through -the tribulation of stamp -lick-
ing. A mucikge luncheon is not tate
most palatable thing in the world and
grave doubt exists as to its being as
healthy as it is adhesive. 'rhe dire
tirreat about "the tongue cleaving to
the roof of elle mouth," probably had
same coasectiou with the Balking of the
postage stamps and the results thereof,
in New Zealand the Government
has adopted a postage stamp mach-
ine, which does away with all the
tongue exercise, which to an institu-
tion having an extended correspond-
ence, is aegreat saving in time to say
nothing of cleanliness. The machines,
which are very compact are owned by
the government, and are rented by the
year to whoever wants one. instead
of licking the stamps by the hundre.t
every day the office boy simply runs
the letters through the machine, which
keeps an accurate account. An agent
of the postal authorities crannies around
at regubtr intervals and collects.
The machines are owned by the
Government and tate patents are :also
owned by it, but there is no doubt that
the Canadian administration could se.
cure the right to manufacture and use
these machines If it were found desir-
able.

A GOOD MEDICINE

Nothing can equal Baby's Own' Tab-

are a laxative, mild but thorough in

she will use nothing else. Concern-

"I
