The Roots and Vegetables Act, as amended this year, in the section deal- inlg with marking, distinctly provides that "every person who by himself or through the agency of another per- son offers for sale, sells, or has in his possession intended for sale any vegetables for which grades are pro- vided by these regulations packed in baskets, bags, closed barrels, closed crates or in bulk, shall mark the in- itials of his Christian names and his full surname and address or in the ease of a firm or corporation, the firm or corporate name and address and the grade of the vegetables, also the weight, in a plain and indelible manner. On baskets by tag or on the handle, in bags by baks or print- ed on bag; in barrels by 3-4 inch let- ters; in crates by % inch letters. Ex- ceptions to this rule are vegetables with the top leaves attached or green vegetables and potatoes offered in closed barrels." s AISY'S OWN TABLETS WINS GREAT PRAISE Many Mothers Always Keep Them in the House. Thousands of mothers state that they know of no other medicine for little ones to equal Baby's Own Tab- lets—that they always keep the Tab- lets in the home as a preventive of childhood ailments, or if sickness does suddenly grip their little ones they feel safe with such a remedy at hand. Concerning the use of the Tablets Mrs. Donat Ploudre, Tingwick, Que., writes:—"I have nothing but praise for Baby's Own Tablets. They are the only medicine I have ever given my two little ones and I am glad to state that the Tablets have always kept them in perfect health. I feel so safe with the Tablets that I al- ways keep a box in the house." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative. They regu- late the bowels, sweeten the stomach and thus banish constipation and in- digestion; break up colds and simple fever and make the cutting of teeth painless. The Tablets are absolutely safe, being guaranteed free from all injurious drugs. They are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Most penologists atm • it lay the higher icommatzgeemitogions In England which is responsil6s$e for her much lower murder rat. a0 compared with the United S to . ®vier a four year period endiag in 1922, a British home office report showed that there were B6 k eases az eapposvd murder known to the pollee, excluding in- fanticide of children less than a year old by mothers and deaths from il- legal'. operations. In 288 cases ar- rests vvrere made involving 313 per- sons, while in 83 of the remaining cases •the supposed murderers oom- mitted suicide. Of the 313 persons arrested, 76 were sent to asylums as guilty but insane. Seventy-four were oonvicted of lesser offences, suoh as manslaughter, and five were extra - dieted •or dealt with in other ways. Of the remainder, 94 were sentenced to death and 39 had their sentences com- muted to life imprisonment. Only 64 -persons were discharged. In the iperjod 1912-19, in a group of representative American states, there were no fewer than 19,777 hom- icides, 475 murderers sentenced to death and 349 executed. This com- parison is by no means exact, as Mr. Calvert says, but it is suggestive. Over' a 30 -year period analysis has shown that in England 29 per cent. of the murders were due to drink, quarrels and violent rage; 30 per cent. to jealousy, intrigue and revenge, 10 per cent. to extreme poverty and sex- ual passion, and Less than 10 per cent. to robbery or other mercenary mot- ives. 'Nine out ,of every ten mur- ders in England are committed by men and two out of every three per- sons murdered are women. Of the women murdered by men, 42 per cent. are their wives and 38 per cent. their mistresses or sweethearts. These fig- ures are interesting when added to the fact that the number of murders committed each year in England var- ies but slightly. Nearly all of them, it is shown, arise from violent pas- sions and are committed when in the mind of the murderer there is no thought but murder, no idea of a pen- alty, no fear of the hangman. In the United States, on the other hand, only about 20 per cent. of the persons murdered were women. Mur- ders for robbery are rare in England and common in the United States. Such crimes are planned and execut- ed in cold blood andalways in the mind of the criminal there is the con- sideration of his chances of eicape. Because these are small in England, the number of crimes is small. Be- cause they are good in the United States murders in connection with holdups are frequent. It is fair to argue that the great bulk of the mur- ders committed in England would be committed no matter what the pun- ishment was, for they are committed in moments of fury. Similarly, if the American gunmen thought that their chances of escape were few and that they were likely to spend even a few years in prison if they were caught, it is reasonable to expect that such crimes would decrease. 1 THE ILA KGIZST STOVE WE HAVE EVER S "°QWW WOND ESTENG likZ NEW MODES, 63AITP11EOUS WEAVES, AND MAE.

' ENGLISH AND AMERICAN MURDERERS COMPARED As Kipling said: "The cities are full of pride, challenging each to oaoh"—and at the moment the police forces of London and New York ap- pear to be arguing as to which is the more effective. Statistics are quoted;, although statistics on this matter are not easily compared. For <example, in the matter of murders the custom in the United States is to list both premeditated murders and manslaughter eases under the general Breading of homicide's. In England they are kept rigidly distinct, but ev- en if the murders and cases of man- slaughter were added together the basis of comparison would yet be in- accurate since there is a much great- er percentage of manslaughter to murder in the United States than in 'England, because there are so many snore motor cars in the United States and hence so many mare fatal street -accidents. But making every allow- ance for different systems of tabula- tion, the fact remnains that murder is seven or eight times as common in the United States as in England. This is the conclusion arrived at by E. Roy Calvert, who contributes to The Na'hion an article on murder and the death penalty, Mr. Calvert bei known as a strong opponent of ca tal punishment. He points to some interesting differences in the murder- ing habits of the two peoples. For instance, perhaps ten times as many murders, in proportion to population, are committed with firearms in the United States as in England. This is +mainly paused' by the greater ease with which a revolver can be bought in the United States. In the United States the number of persons exe- cuted in proportion to the number of indictments for murder is much fess than in England. But oddly enough, the percentage of persons actually ex- ecuted after sentenced to death is higher. That is to say, a person actually sentenced to death in the Unrated States has less chance of hav- ing his sentence commuted than in NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR TEIE ::USY FARMER Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, No- vember 20-28. Guelph Winter Fair—December 9th to 12th. Ottawa Winter Fair—December 2nd to 6th. Ontario Beekeepers' Association, Toronto—Nevember 26th, 27th and 28th. During the past year more than 9,000 girls and women took advant- age of the systematic instruction giv- en by the Department in the follow- ing short courses: "Food values and Cookery," "Home Nursing and First Aid," "Sewing" and "Millinery." This training should prove of great value to the home of the average Ontario farmer. A prophet is said to be without honor in his own country. But after he has made good, it is a different matter. Seo it proved in the case of Dr. George I. Christie, who returned from the United States to assume the presidency of Ontario Agricul- tural College and who recenrbly was accorded an enthusiastic reception when he visited' his natiWe village of Winchester. Potato Grading. As federal law requires that all potatoes in commerce be graded, farmers are instructed in standards and methods of grading. This will be a feature of an exhibit at the Roy- al Show, being arranged by the Crops and Markets Branch co-operating with the Ontario Agricultural College.

From reports of agricultural repre- sentatives during the past two weeks, it appears that there will be a de- cided falling off in the area of fall wheat to be harvested next year. In all probability, the land on which it was intended to. sow fall wheat will be utilized for ome other 'grain for which there is a steady demand, that is, 'barley. The increasing demand for this grain for industrial purposes in Ontario practically assures the grower of consistently good disposi- tion at good domestic prices. As a result of several years' special de- velopment effort on the part of On- tario growers and a splendid harvest season this year, there should be a- vailable next spring almost unlimit- ed supplies of seed charley of bhcr fin- est quality`–rO.A.C.
