But that hope was that. tered-.by the discovery of the little, deadbody, which had lain neglected so near to -the home from which he bad been stolen, during all the weeks when such frantic search was being made for. him. It was the end of a long trail, indeed, but a "ter- rible ending,. and the hearts' of the' civilized: world have been wrung by =the anguish of these young parents • se sadly and. terribly bereft. Now that spring is 'here we are • eating more fresh fruiter vegetables. • etc., and enjoying them,. too. ,About the first green thing, (is 'it a fruit or a vegetable?) that conies in the garden is rhubarb and there are many ways of using it. Everybody • likes rhubarb pie and few things "touch the spot" like stewed rhubarb, when people- like it: • 'Nowadays, though, when the nice, • )oink sort is used, most people like it. ' The old, coarse, green kind is. out 'of date, but the tender, pink varieties' are • entirely different. There are 'several new and improved kinds and if anyone still has the old sour sort they ought to dig it up and put•in a root or two of one of the nicer var- ieties. One of the things which are ' in favor of rhubarb, besides the fact • that it comes early in the spring, is 'its cheapness. Anyone who has a bit of ground can have it for their own use. When cooking do not cook too long, watch it and do not let the cubes break, remove fiom the fire as soon as tender. When a pink variety is used, when it is simply washed left —A -peeled and cut into cubes and • stewed •carefully, not too long, and turned into a pretty bowl it makes just as attractive a looking dish of sauce as one wotild wish to see, and is wholesome as well as palatable. Here are a few recipes for using it in combination with other fruits for with all its tartness,' rhubarb calf easily. be •added to delicately flay, •eared fruits without materially chang- ing the flavor: •' .S&rawberry. and rhubarb give ,lis just one example. c c—�a Strawberry and 'Rhubarb Jam One pound rhubarb, 2 Pounds straw- berries, ,2 pounds granulated.'sugar.- Wash rhubarb.

Cook slowly, stirring frequently, for two hours. Add nuts and cook ten min- utes longer.

A. list of plants to fur- nish this delightful feature of the garden should be considered. In -•earliest spring it is necessary to depend upon the fall planted bulb •- such as the hyacinths, daffodils and • tulips for fragrance until the an- ' nuals get into their swing. Mignonette is the old' standby for • fragrance and the old-fashioned type, reseda ordorata, is the best of the lot for fragrance being far sweet: er than the giant and amore modern types although having nothing in the way of beauty. • Petunias and verbenas are well known for their fragrance and the spice of the ten weeks stock is one of its attractions. A few plants of the sweet tobacco, nicotiana affinis, give - a :delightful spice to the even- ing air. For night fragrance the' night • blooming stock, inathiola .bicornis, is 'the most odorous plant in the garden .a bedraggled weedy looking specimen ' by day with no claim to beauty what- • ever and at night opening its little flowers which have no real beauty but give off clouds of spicy fragrancy 'that will permeate the garden, A few plants of this little annual should be tackedin here and there for its spiee. The fresh, clean scent of sweet alyssum is an -added attraction to "its sheet of. snowy boom eo useful for bordering beds. To many the pungent odor of nasturtiums is re- garded as one of the choice per- 'fuuhes of the gardens. Some do not care for it but it has aidistincltiv(1Ifra- ' • grance both in the garden and in : the house when 'cut. Asneng the perennials, the June pinks are famous for their clove of fragrance and seed shouldbe sown each year for replaeetnenll .put - poses as old' clumps meet: accidents • and there are many complaints of • rabbits which particularly appreeia'te t the flavor of pinus. The 'denies' rocket is a :biennial • that. should be grown for its fra- grance at evening. This is a hien- • vial-that"needs annual sowing to be :sure .e.1! a supply. . BETTER FRUITS AND VEGE- TABLES FOR CANADIAN TABLES .Canadians like good things to eat and desire to have them at all sea- sons of the year. After a long winter, there is a craving fcr something with acidity. hence there is much demand for rhubarb, not only on this account. but because it is the first edible product from the soil in spring. There is a great :difference in o4nsbatb from the green, coarse, stringy variety to the attractive, fine* grained sort, known. as Ruby, 'originated at the Experimental. Farm, and considered to be the best rhubarb on the mar- ket, and already very popular. .Not only is it red an the outside, but it is red all the way through the stalk, and snakes such en attractive sauce that even those ulho do not ca" much for rhubarb are tempted to at. it. It is as much better than some of the old green varieties as the Melba apple is better than the Duchess of Oldenburgh. • Here again is a pre - duct of the Experimental Palm which fills 'a long felt want. Up to quite recently 111105e who were eager to eat a summer apple, after being without one so long, had to depend on such sour setts as Yellow Transparent. Red Astrachan, and Duchess, which were not at all conductive 'to a large consumption of apples." But in the Melba there is•an apple of Duchess season equal to McIntosh in quality —an attractive luscious apple of -high flavour giving' a craving for more. Of alle vegetables, corn is, per- haps, the most popular, after pota- toes, and everyone lochs forward. eagerly to the corn season. • The Gol- denBantann cornisthe most popular variety and, rightly se, but, if one can have corn as good: in quality as Golden Bantam but two weeks soon- er, he will net be without it. The Piokaniney and Batting varieties .originated at the Eyper.•mental Ferry are such. The Picicaninny has e slightly bluish tinge when young, and is of delicious quality equal to Golden Bantam. Ranting is a very early yellow corn of good• quality. - These eaivable ,originations- make ,it possible for thousands of. Cana- dians to growtheir own fresh fruits 041 vegetables whowere previously unable' to do so owing to the Ionger season required by the older spits. PAMPERING FRUITS Tropical fruits brought to Can't}cla from the British West Indiee by the Canadian National Steamships have• to be pampered. ; For' instance, ban- anas have to be kept, by electrical heat control and refrigeration, at a temperature of 53 degrees; orbnges and grapefruit,. at 42 ,e,egrees; • toma- toes at 52 .d,egrees. Bananas are es- pecially awkward for they continue to grow en route; changing in volume' giving. off heat that has to be coun- teraete'ds • THE TRAGEDY OF CAMP X -J-4 (Whitten by Bert Glidden who was injured while at work at this centre while . in the hospital at . Dryden) It was away up in Northern On- tario While working on the Icing's High- way, That I almost met my Maker, Yes, .almost passed away. It was early Monday morning ;And the sun was shining :bright, We were on our way to duty And all our hearts Were light. • 1VIy comrades were all with pie Without the thought of fear, 'Cause we were all a -talking About home and loved ones, dear. And then there carne a blast, And stones flew all around, They ascended high into the air And then came quickly down. In a minute there came another, -- It was so loud and long, I Iooked up into the skies - But the sun was much too strong. And I -could' not see the little stone That had started on it's way, 'Until it hit me on the lip, Then I could only say: "Take me to the cabin, boys And do it mighty quick, 'C'ause the blood is corning faster And I,'m getting pretty sick." Quickly we sante to the cabin, Hot water was oe hand, Ws called out for the "First Aid • Guy," . , Stew'rt Me:Brien, he was the man. He says, "now stand away, my boys, And I will clo my best, P11 atop the flowing of the blood And the Doe. can do the rest." I then was loaded on a sleigh Across the lake to go, And headed for the railroad, Which was three miles at so. And then we had to flag the train As it came roaring down the track, Tho trainman, be got angry And started talking back. I climbed upon that west -bound train And started on my' way, Cause I was bound for Dryden, To the hospital, they say. I soon came to my journey's end And there I met a cop, He says, "Colne on with me, my boy, And we will take a walk." Soon we met the doctor, - Dr. Morrison was the-eman, He led the over to his eel' It was a Ford Sedan. Quickly we rode to the hospital, The nurses there to see, They said, -'1we'Il, soon fix you up" While I says, • "0h, clear inel" First I went to the bath room And the water was. so hot, I says, "you'll have to cool this stuff Before I take s flop." As 50011 as my bath was over I heard the doctor call, "Come on.out here, my little man, And you I'll overhaul." • I climbed upon his table, The nurse was by my feet;, Ile made nee snuff a battle • Until I fell asleep. - And soon, when I awakened And found myself in bed.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT PREVEN- TION ASSOCIATION HOLDS SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION The annual banquet of the conven- tion of the Indhustrial Accident Pre- vention Association held in Toronto last month, was a large affair, fil- ling the entire concert hall of the Royal York Hotel. F. M. Merton of :'.antilton was in ,the chair and re- vi- wed briefly the activities of the crgauization in the 'past year, paying special tribute to the Workmen's Compensation Board for co-operation extended. S. N. F. Chant, M.A.,, As- sistant Professor of Psychology, Uni; versity of Toronto, spoke on "Sem/ Psychological' Aspects of Accident Prevention." Mr. Chant congidered at length eight items which he said constituted personal factors Contri- buting to accidents. These eight were' sensory deficiency, motor deficiency, fatigue, lack of skill, inattention, ek- citability, poor judgment and lack of responsibility. He suggested three points of attack fen industry; a care- ful selection of employees, enlight- ened management and safety educe, ti oni. Hon, W. G. Martin, Minister of Public Welfare, spoke on the whole situation of accident prevention •and congratulated V. A. Sinclair, .Chair- man of the Wprknien's Compensa- tion Board on the work of that body. The luncheon meeting was in the banquet hall of the Royal York en- •der the chairmanship of, C. G. Cock- shutt of Brantford, newly -elected president of. the Associations. The :finet speaker was V: A. Sinclair, K. C.;.chaiiman of the Work unen'0 Com- pensatien Board. Mr. Sinclair dealt at length with recent amendments to the Worknen;s Compensation Act, including the elhnniatien of the sys tem of merit rating and the substi- tution ofauthority to reduce the a- mount of any assessment payable by an individual industry where proper Precautions had been taken for the prevention of accidents. He said this was a far reaching sectienn sub- -granted ice the former system on the recmunnendation of manufacturers. The amendments to the Act authoriz- ed the Compensation Board to pen. aline a- firm ,, for unlawful employ. ment sof a minor,_ and added the pre- sent industrial diseases, bursitis, from any process involving 'contin- uous'rubbing, pressure oe vibration of the parts affected, cancer arising from the manufacture of pitch and tar, dermatitis, from any picccess in, volving the use or direct contact with acids and alkalies or. acids and oils capable of causing dermatitis. ' and infected' blisters. Mr. Sinclair commented on the energy and en- thusiasm of the Accident Prevention Associations operating under the authority of the Wbrkmenls Compen. sation Act and congratulated the ' newly -elected officers. • - 1 C. S. Ching, United States Rub- - ben Company, New York, spoke an "The New Attitude on Aeciaent Pre- vention." Be said: one of the 'best indications of management's attitude towards Safety was the amount of time and thought put into the prob- lem. Modern managers had become convinced that a lowered accident rate and efficient .operation ran hand in hand and emphasised that assn dents are the result of management inefficiency, Be elosed with an ap- peal for the observance of all the material things that might cause ac- cidents and the acceptance of re- sponsibility for impressing safe prac- tices on each and every employee so that the safety idea would became a habit and an accident' be considered a disgrace. In closing the Convention, Mr. Cockshutt, the president, extended the thanks of the organization to those who had attended the meetings, to the speakers, to safety ebhibitors and the press. MLLION' - PEOPLE- INTRODUCED TO OUTDOOR CANADA BY FILAMS More than a million people have visited the outdoor vacation areas of Canada iduningthe past'winter sea. - son bymeans .of motion picture show- ings., arranged by Canadian 'National Railways film lilbraries. ''The Cana- dian Nlatianal Railways, . during re- cent years has built up notion picture Frim libraries. dealing with travel subjects, and particularly featuring suclh activities as fishing and big game,' hunting. These films have been in great demand in Canadian pities, in .the United. States and also in., other, countries, where copies are available in the hands of the- Com- pany's agents for loan to sportsman's clubs and similar -organizations The Aerie of activity is naturally chiefly that of the whiter months, from the end of Oeto_ber,' to the end of Mlle following April, ' • when - •.are neat dinners and other gatherings' of sportsmen's organizations are being held and for these there is a great demand for Canadian •motion"'"ieUn re p films. Devine. January and February of thisteeear :Canadian National filrhie depicting fishing, hunting and other .vacations in Canada were shown to more than 175,000 people in the cit- ies of New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, :Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, Philadelphia and were also sent out from these points for showing 2n other towns and cities. In Canada, libraries maintained . at Montreal, Moncton, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver were equally active.. • "Reports on motion picture show-. ings indicate that by this means Can- ada is interesting more people' than ever before," MT. ' Robinson stated. "Anglers' Clubs meeting in New York and Philadelphia look forward to Can- adian fishing movies, and as a result of these showings, which feature the holiday resources in different parts of Canada, many of these anglers and sportsmen are induced to visit the famous spots of the Dominion. Since the first of Oetpber last year Canadian films have been shown to more than a million persons and wlhile many of these may be unable immediately to visit Canada, the scenes portrayed in the filins leave them with a definite consciousness of what Canadahas to offer in the way of worth -while holidays."

"Nu; because she has to have gas, she ,has to have oil; she has to have air, she has to have some- thing all the time." GODERICH 0: I. STUDENTS VISIT GUELPH EXPERIMENTAL. FARM AND 0.A.C. GODBRICH, May 14.—Sixty-nine pupils ofi the Godei•ich Co1- - legrat'a Institute spent an enjoyable time Friday in Guelph. The purpose of the trip was to visit the provincial agricultural farm. They were ' accompanied by .three teachers, Misses ,Simpson and Dale and David I, }Till, On arri'al at the Agricultural College • the party was received by Professor Buchanan, who conducted theme through the Carious buildings. Iii the morning the live stook was viewed and a visits made to, the fine new golf course, comprising 200 acres; the gift of Arthur Outten, grain king. The Students of the 0.A.C. have the privilege of using this course. After dinner, served in the plain dining hall of the college, an inter- esting illustrated address on Apicul- ture was given by Dr. Dyce. Pro. feesor, Snider delivered a lecture on poultry. • A delightful time was spent in the museum, where Iso much of interest is stored. Everyone was particularly fascinated- with the wax works. In describing Memorial Hall Dr. Bu- chanan mentioned the fact that Dr. MacOrea, the authbfi of "In Flanders Fields," had attended' the Ontario Agrielutural. College. Dr. Buchanan paid a fine tribute to the memory of the dead soldier and poet. The beautiful new conservatory is - full of lovely flowers and at present there is a particluarly fine display of gorgeous sweet peas. Every flower is there and hundreds of plants and vegetables. The party returned home about 720 p.nl., tired but happy. During a Scripture lesson a little child was asked to describe the suf- ferings of Job. "Job had one trouble after another," she replied. "First he lost all his eattle; then he lost all his children; then he had to go and live alone in the desert with his wife." ei ltk Seriice OF EREi _.

If we are to protect ourselves against disease germs, we must take precautions to keep these our enemies; front penetrating be- yond the outside of our bodies, where they are harmless. It is our own hands which frequently give germs their opportunity to gain entrance into our bottles. In the ordinary course of our daily lives, our hands conte into contact with many ob- jects; we touch and handle many things which may have been soiled by the secretions of other persons. In shaking hands, substances which may be on the hand of one individual are transferred to the hand of anoth- er. It is Obvious that we are very like- ly to have on the surface of our hands the germs of disease. As long as the germs remain there, they can do us no harnn, but once they pass 0111' lips, they are given their opportunity to `cause trouble. • If you will watch a number of -people, you will see that most of them frequently put their hands to their faces. They touch their lips or their nostrils; some even put their fingers in their mouths. Food which is touched when itis being prepared, or in Dating, carries with it into the mouth whatever was deposited' on it by the hand's, To prevent the dangers arising out of such habits, we advise that no one touch food unless the hands have been washed thoroughly and also that the hands be kept away from the faee, unless the handkerchief is being used. Washing the hands properly means more than dipping then iuto water and wiping thein on a towel. When we say wash the hands, we mean a thorough washing with soap and wa- ter and the use of at nail brush until the skin is clean and the nails aro clean. When the hands are clean as a re- sult of washing, they should then be dried on, a clean towel. Even after washing, the .hands are not clean in the sense of being free from all germs. So it is that these germs which have been left on the hands are wiped off on the towel. If the towel is used by a second person, then this person, in wiping his hands, rubs onto them germs left on the towel by the first user. This niay appear to some of our readers to be rather far-fetched, but we can assure then: that there is no exaggeration becausq it does hap pen, Towels should be used on a persoOal basis, each person having and using only his own towel. Dy taking such simple precautions, we can help to protect ourselves against disease germs. Wfaeh your hands before eating and use only your own towel.
