WATERLOO, ONTARIO Established 1869 W. T. Booth, District Agent, Winghain, Ont. Wm. Webster, Agent; Rr R. 2, Lucknow, Ont. R. H. Martyn, Agent, Ripley, Ontario THE LICORICE INDUSTRY. Itp Varuo Has Been. Availed ef< Dina ing r.10housande of Years, America's licoriceindustry atria says an article in the New York Times, observes' 'ea important birth- day, Sixty years it has rounded out, furnishing flavor for the country's to- bacco and some of its clewing gum, stocking its medicine chest and de iigliting its ehildrea with "shoe -lace" candy. In placeswhere licorice grows nat- urally, i•:s value has been availed of during thoursands of years. In' Amer- ica it is an exotic.' Yet in the three- score years sineo the root was first introduced on v conxnaercial seale the United Sta 'las taken the lead- ership in thea any of licorice ex- tracted. Not ye' :;t it grown hero, ex- cept now and then experimentally;• but every, year some 35,000 tons of the root are imported, to be convert- ed by the licorice industry into forms demanded by a number of other industries. In parts of Spain and Italy the plant, is cultevated, but in general it is gathered in the wild state. ' From the fields of Southern France, Asia Minor, Southern Russia, Egypt and Arabia peasants dig' It and carry it to the baling stations. The roots are dried, then pressed into bales weigh- ing about 300 pounds. Over devious inland routes` these are transported to the seacoasts and hoisted on to vessels bound for the United States. In the American factory the roots are shredded, forming a coarse mass. The powdered licorice root, so im- portant in pharmacy, is obtained by grinding and sifting and grinding again part of this mass. From the remainder the licorice is extracted in solution and this ie: evaporated by various pi acesses to obtain the syrup and the paste needed by the confec- tioner and the powdered extract used by the pharmacist and tobacconist. Licorice contains a substance known as glycyrrhlzin, or "sweet root," which is fifty times as sweet as sugar. As a tonic, a blood puri- fier,' a means of relief from catarrh, sore throat and internal inflamma- tions, and, when mixed with honey as a healer of sores and wounds, it is still widely used by peasants. Brewers used to introduce licorice into their beer to give It a "head" or foam. Now its foam -forming proper- ties are utilized in an extinguisher that hap proved particularly import- ant in fighting oil fires. The oxygen - free foam cuts off the air supply and the fire ceases to burn. The liquid used for this purpose is the second extraction from the shredded root mass, after the materials needed, by the pharmaceutical, tobacco and con- fectionery trades have been taken out. The fibre left after this second ex- traction is dried and made into in- sulating wall and box board. Board . from licorice fibre is said to be the best for those cards that control the design in the weaving of tapestry and other figured materials. Head & butter.

Phone.1S6r' i BLAC1{ AND GREEN TEA. • In 1885, Dr. Caldwell made a din- covery for which elderly people the world over praise him today! Years of practice convinced hint that many people were endangering their health by a careless choice of laxatives. So he began a search for a harmless prescription which would be thoroughly effective, yet would neither gripe nor form any habit. At last he found it. Over and over he wrote it, when he found people bilious, headachy, out of sorts, weak or feverish; with coated tongue, bad breath, no appetite or energy. It relieved the most obstinate cases, and yet was gent!. with womega children and elder!•, people. Today, this same famous, effective prescription, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is the world's most popular laxative.

Hints For Homebodies Written for The .Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown • Canada is taking advantage of all opportunities to fight tubercu- losis and I think is far ahead of England in the matter of sending students to sanatoria to make an intensive study of the subjset,'said Dr. J. A. Coutts, of Loudon, mem- ber of the group of British Tuber- cular experts, interviewed aboard S. S. IVIontealm, on his return to England after some weeks' stay in the Dominion. Stating that the Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce official tour of Japan and China leaving Vancou- ver and Victoria Octobet 16 aboard S.S.Empress of Russia, offers a splendid chance to emphasize Can- ada's position as a trading nation, Col. J. H. Woods, Calgary pub- lisher and president of the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce, speak- ing to 300 members of the Vancou- ver Board of Trude in an address at the Hotel Vancouver recently, urged Canadians to take full op- portunity of the chance afforded by the tour. Leaf That Is Not Fermented Before Being Dried Produces Green. After plucking the leaves from the tea plant, the first process in the manufacture. of tea is to spread the green leaves on trays in the wither- ing house, where they are exposed to a free currnet of air—a very import- ant operation which takes Prom 12 to 48 hours. When the leaf is tough and flaccid like an old kid glove, it is reading for rolling -The -he old Chinese system was to roll. the leaves by machinery driven on the plantations in India and Ceylon by electricity or water -power. At this stage the process followed de- cided whether the tea will be black or green tea. If black tea is to be made, the roll- ed leaves are fermented, an operation requiring close attention. The leaves are placed in drawers or on tables and covered. In, dry weather the tea will be sufficiently fermented or oxidised in twenty minutes, in cool weather it may take hours. When- ever the leaves assume a bright color they must be fired or quickly dried, which is done by the modern eight process in six or a „ht mina tes. This tea that has been fermented before being fired or dried is black tea. The rolled leaf that is not fermented be- fore being dried produces green tea. It is the fermentation that turns the leaf black -arid produces the flav- or so distinct from that of green tea, which is dried_ without first being fer- mented. The use of copper trays has nothing to do with the color and. in no way Injures.the tea. THE JAW'S HARP. Jaw Does Most Work on lnstruxnent Commonly Called Jew's Harp.,: We have all of us heard and per- haps many of us have played the rather primitive musical instrument known as the ,lew's harp. Why, however, should it be so called, since there is certainly noth- ing particularly Jewish about the instrument? Indeed, one who looked for the clue to its origin im the .word Sew would be led far astray, Two explanations are vouchsafed to us for the calling of this instru- ment by this •name, and both of them are rather interesting and instruc- tive. According to., one authority, the term "Jew's harp" is a corruption of jaws harp, since it is tbe jaw which really does most of the work in the paying of the instrument. Again, we have it from another authority that the word "Jew's harp" is derived from the French "jeu," meaning gatne. • The former explanation sounds more logical and we are inclined to accept it as the true origin of the term. Demand frar Gum. There is a growing demand for the gum which exudes from wounds in red or sweet g>am treed, and is used in the manufadtnte of pltartnaeeetJi- cala and chewing 'gum. Ornamental Trees, The art of clipping trees into orna- mental shares was introduced into Britain 14 the Roinans. Where Does Our Leisure Go? There is no question, but, that housekeeping is a much easier matter than it used to be. Any of us who have kept house for any length of time must know that. Labor-saving devices come to our aid, and. we can buy so many articles all ready to use that formerly had to be made in the home. Yet, with easier housekeeping have we any more actual leisure? Where deed our time go? One constantly hears women say- ing that they would like to do this or that, but they never have time. Housework and family take a large portion of a woman's time, but there are very few women who have not some time .for other interests. The trouble with most of us is that we have too many interests. There are so many organizations, of one kind and another none of which take too much time, but in the aggregate take a great deal of time. • 1Ne hear a great deal of the full life of the city woman, but I amu in- clined to think that the woman living in a small place, has a fuller one. For one thing she is apt to be in most things, 'and once in it is a difficult matter to withdraw. Most tunes she does not want to get out of things as she is interested in all that goes on in her contmunity. In a city there is not the same intense interest nor' the same personal pressure brought , to bear, and it is a very much easier matter to live ones self. When we get to the siege, that we always seem to be rushed acid have very -tittle actual leisure, it is a good 1 time to take stock and pick 'and choose our activities. It is not al- ways easy to give up, yet on the oth- er hand, it certainly is not wise, to be rushed all the time. .La,st Fall I found. that I was planning to belong to the Canadian Club, which meets occasionally; to the Heine and School Club, which meets monthly; A. group of the Guild in the Church, meeting weekly; extension classes in English and 'another in 'Canadian History, each of which ineet,wcekly; a Choral Club; A Badminton Club; and a Bridge Club, Manifestly it was int - possible to do all these things and still have time at home, so 1 had to choose, keeping somewand postponing others—at least 1 hope it is only post- ponement. The time taken up 'by the actual attendance at meetings is not the on - yl time involved, because if one be- longs, one must be ready to do one's: share of the work. If you seem to be always breathlessly trying to catch up with time, it: 'becomes an act of wisdom to firmly choose ords.activ-, ities, India Relish 1 doyen green .corn, 1 large cabbage 1 large head celery,' 3 red peppers 8 green peppers 1 quart vinegar: 4 cups brown sugar 1 tablespoon mustard seed 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon mustard. 5 cents Worth 'tttmeric 0 cents worth curry 'powder Cut corn from colt, put cabbage, celery and peppers through the chop- per.

Lewis, of the Department of the Interior, told the delegates to the Provincial- Dominion game conference at Ot- tawa the other day. The valua- tion includes the fur harvest, game fish and their attendant effect upon the manufacturers of firearms and fishing tackle, not to .mention rail- ways, tourist camps, magazine pub- lishers and others who derive a certain revenue from this source. Badges will be worn by all big game hunters in New Brunswick during the season opening Septem- ber 15 for deer and October 1 for moose. During the recent year all non-resident anglers in New Brunswick have worn 'badges and the system has proved so satisfac- tory as to render extension of the plan to shooting advisable. n This year's crop of grapes in the Niagara fruit belt, between' Hamil- ton and Niagara Falls, Ont., is ex- pected to reach about 58,000,000 lbs., an increase of 15 per cent. itver the 1929 crop.
