Holders of the collateral trust bonds of the Beauharnois Power Corporation Limited, will be wond- ering whether or no they will re- ceive the money, from the 3 per cent, coupons, due April lst, before the ninety days of grace expires. The investigation into Beauhar nois matters, by a committee of the Douse of Commons and by the Sen- ate Committee, during, this last year has disclosed that vast sums of money have been paid out of the company. funds to phantom com- panies and to political parties and to individuals for no apparent reason. These moneys would pay this past due interest many times. It is a terrible condition when so vast anenterprise wastes so much of the people's money. True money is hard to raise during these depres- sion times to carry on this program but it is doubly hard to get when the public confidence is so shatter- ed by such gross mismanagements of the affairs of the company. The power to be developed by this company will be needed by Quebec and Ontario, Already the Ontario Hydro . and Montreal firms have contracted for sufficient power to assure the success of :Beauharnois. To restore public and financial confidence those in charge should engage highly capable and honest e.eeutives and thus go forward to a successful conclusion and also protect the large sums already in- vested by the public. * . * * When you step up to pay your radio license, be sure you have a two -dollar bill with you. * ,F * A Saskatoon Alderman suggests a tax on cats.

LEADING FLAX VARIETIES FOR SEED PRODUCTION (Experimental Farms_ Note) Canada is producingon the - aver- age over three million bushels of flax seed annually, two and a half million bushels of which are requir- ed at home for the linseed oil indus- try. The major consideration in the improvement of the flax seed crop is yield, that is the capacity to pro- duce seed. This in turn requires the consideration of such characters as early maturity and disease resistan- ce. The question of quality in the seed that is the ability to produce a high percentage of oil of good qual- ity for . the purpose intended must also be considered. The varieties us- ed for seed production differ from those in whirl fibre is the chief con- sideration in that they are usually shorter in the straw and more branched than the fibre varieties. Among the older varieties of seed flax in Canada, Primost, a variety distributed by the Minnesota Exper- iment Station, has probably been the most widely grown. Novelty, Ot- tawa 53 and Crown two varieties developed in. Canada are a little lat- er in maturity and frequently out - yield Primost. The Experimental Farm at Ottawa has produced an earlier maturing variety called Dia- dem which appears promising for the northern parts of the Prairie Provinces. Unfortunately, these var- ieties are susceptible to and fre- quently damaged by flax wilt so could only be recommended for a soil where disease is not a factor. Flax wilt is a' soil borne disease and being carried on the seed may be- come a problem at any time if flax is grown for many years on the same land. The Experimental Station at Far- ed. go, North Dakota has made notable contributions to the problem of breeding wilt resistant varieties, N.

F. Ritchie of the Division of Horticul- ture of the 'Central Experimental Darm, Ottawa. The,success or fail- ure of a highly prized crop may de- pend to a very large degree upon the attention given to the proper preparation of the soil. Soils that are too fine in texture will not drain; properly and such a soil while it may be amply rich in plant food it may lack only the addition of a lit- tle sand to make it satisfactory. On the other hand, a deficiency of hum- us will have a tendency to allow the soil to compact,which is likely •to prevent even root development, and also does not permit of a proper dis- tribution of moisture through the soil, * * Three deaths froin monoxides gas in Ontario, last week.—Beware!

B.' Gooderham, Dom- inion Apairist, The reason for this lies in the fact that it is. impossible under Canadian conditions to rear the quantity . of bees 'required, annu- ally to replenish winter losses early enough in the seasbn to take advant- age of the rich flow of nectar, from early bloorn. In the Southern States the active season "opens much earlier than it does in Canada and young bees in large numbers can be reared while Canadian bees are still in winter quarters.. Package bees are of great- er importance in Western Canada than they are in the East because they build tip rapidly under Western conditions. Bees are shipped in wire -screen cages holding . one or more :pounds of bees and are easily transferred to standard hives on arrival. Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jesie Alen Brown • The e c 1 d g 1 0 u n 0 pi n i c 0 1 p i i e c n t d a n v 0 w When Power Goes Off How much those of us who live in the cities and. towns, depend on cicctricity, forcomfort and conven- ierice is not realized, until the power goe off, for a few hours. Those who use it for cooking are very much out of luck, and unless they have some other stove fo • emergencies are forc- ed to use cold foods, ° or depend on a friendly neighbor hbor to boil their ket- tle for theta. No chance of ironing of course. If the day is hot, the el- ectric fan cannot be used. When we. go down townr-to shop, we find trat there is no wrapped bread, as the machine cannot work; we cannot get the coffee ground; the treat is a bit high, as the refrigerator is out of commission; and lastly the ice-cream has melted for the same reason. There is no.picture show, the print- ing presses cannot work altd some of the factories are shut down. The light in the light -house is out, until the oil lamps can be fixed up. If the place is largeto have street -cars, they cannot run. Modern Foods Some of the most modern people have a surprisingly old-fashioned idea about foods. They want the lat- est car, the last thing in radio, the newest electric refrigerators. They would not'drain of driving a horse and buggy, burning coal -oil lamps, or using the cellar as their refriger- ator. Yet they want to eat as their grandparents did. The trouble is that it cannot be done, We moderns stress vitamins and minerals and so on. Others will say that people were healthier before they heard of those things: Of course they+ were. 'But because they did not hear of they does not mean they. were not getting thein, They could not help it. Living con itions are very differ- ent now. Transportation and refrig- eration has made the difference. Be- fore the advent of railways, cotn- inanties were almost sell -contained, as far as food goes. They lived on wheat that as ground into Roth, as they heeded it, on eggs, snilk; Cheese, Vegetables,fruits and Sorne meats. A is another proposition, altogether. It is much snore difficult, sometimes it even seems impossible, to teach them to cook meats properly, or too cook and season a vegetable so that it tastes right.: These apparently sim- ple things are the test of a good cook, and any .woman, who:knows how to season, has a gift, of which she may well be proud, , Sour Cream Dressing for Cucumbers Season 1 cup of fresh sour cream with 2 tablespoons vinegar, n tea- spoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, dash of pepper or paprika, This may be ser- ved just as it is, or the cream may lic whipped.

IMPERSONATOR FREED Keith McLean, who carne to To- ronto, Ont., on Good Friday imper- sonating a platinum blonde,'was sent back to Queen's University April 1, by Magistrate, Tinker after a sharp reprimand, a charge of vagrancy having been withdrawn. This photo was taken as he was about to step on the train, natural diet that was good for every- one. When transportation improved with the railways coming; cereals be- came .a greater factor in the diet. Flour was ground and stored until needed. In order to improve the keeping dualities of the flour, the germ was removed, This snail por- tion of the grain contains very valu- able minerals and vitamins, but' it was discarded and fed to the pigs. -A mistaken idea grew that a white flour was a pure flour, so the.outer layers containing the'bran, and more valuable minerals was discarded. Fin- ally nothing much was left in the. flour but starch.: Too many .people live mainly on meat, potatoes; white bread and su- gar. The consumption of sugar has increased greatly. Our grandpar- ents used honey, brown sugar and. molasses to a. much greater extent than we do. These are all good foods and contain minerals. We 'use no- thipg much but white sugar, which lacks all the minerals. • They, havefoundat the 0. A. C. that land which .has. been worked a long time grows food, that lack min- erals, and'in order to have flourish- ing stock, they must put minerals back into the land. The salve thing holds true in vegetable growing. We get less minerals in our vegetables than our early settlers did. That is why we must try. to eat foods which contain generous quantities of them. We hear a great .deal about Vita - mita D, which comes chiefly from the sun. The smoke in the atmosphere lessens the amount of sunshine and there is less vitamin D .in foods grown; and in milk, and consequent- ly. in the butter, than our grandpar- ents had. It, is all right to talk about eating as they used to; but it is an imposs- ibility. If we plan to include in. our diet milk -(a quart for each child and a pint for each adult,) eggs, butter, cheese, and meats, a leafy vegetable each day, plenty of other vegetables and fruits, we need not worry about our food. Cook and Bakers When people speak, of a woman being a good cook, they frequently judge her by herr baking. This is 'a mistake, I think, because itFis a lot easier to bake well than to be a good cook, although of course, baking is. a part of cooking. I never have had girl t bake any difficulty teaching a o well, but to teach them to cook well mixed with " h.
