Unless the Large bowel is thor- oughly emptied from time to time ' you become a victim of chronic constipation and poisoning of the system which may result in •colitis or other serious disease.

Those who know Dr. ha9e's Kidney -Liver Pills appreciate the value of a real , medicine, which .not only effects a thorough cleans- ing of the colon or Large bowel but also arouses the liver and kidneys to activity in filtering poisons from the blood. • Once you have_ proven the merits of Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills you will never return to the use of • sissy" laxatives.

If meat, just purchased, sticks to the paper, hold under the cold wa- ter. tap for a few minutes, and it can be removed ,with ease. Meat does not need to be covered when kept in the meat 'keeper of the reliigerator. How- ever, if the meat keeper has no cover, it is advisable to cover with wax pa- per. 2. Here's a point to remember in preserving the length of life of your aluminum utensils. Do not pour cold water into a hot aluminum pot or ket- tle repeatedly. It is quite liable to become warped. 3. It's always housecleaning time, really. If there are a lot of oil marks on the wallpaper, apply a paste made of cold water and pipe clay; leave it on over night,'and when it is brushed off in the morning, the oily, marks will be gone, too. 4.

W. asks: How can I make crisp celery curls? Answer: Cut the inner stalks of celery into 3 or 4 -inch lengths - With a sharp knife, cut each piece down into thin strips, stop- ping when within an inch of the end.

One night it was very cold and the Englishman, feeling it pretty badly, came down- stairs early next morning to get warm At the same time a trapper, who bad been out looking at his traps, came in at the door. Icicles were hanging from his moustache, and with a pitying expression the Englishman looked at him and exclaimed: "By Jove, old man, what room did you sleep in?"

It is estimated that the reindeer en- trusted to his management, under government supervision, will number about 2,000 head after the next fawn- ing, at which time he will be ready to return to the government a herd equal to the original 950 deer lent him in December, 1$38. These ani, macs were lent with the understand- ing that their equivalent would be returned when the •native -managed herd increased substantially in size. In addition, the government provided herd dogs and, other equipment, as well as a quantity of rations to as- sist in maintaining the herders for the first year. Before takir.g charge of the deer, Charlie Rufus served three years as an apprentice herderat the govern- ment reindeer station, where a herd, of about 4,300 animals is at present maintained. Under the supervision of a government chief herder, he bas proved himself capable of handling the deer successfully, not permitting any waste of reindeer products, and showing good business acumen in dis- posing of surplus meat and hides. He now has a well-balanced herd of ap- proximately 1,500. deer, located in the Anderson River area, 150 miles east of theov r g e nment reindeer station. A second native herd, numbering about 700 animals, was established re- cently in 'the Horton River area, east of the first native herd. These deer were driven overland from the gov- ernment reindeer station, and "lent to Peter 'Cogillak, an Eskimo who also received training as an apprentice herder. , Although still in its 'infancy, Can- ada's reindeer industryis making good progress. At present the main concern is the training of young na- tives in reindeer husbandry, and as time goes on additional herds will be placed under Eskimo management at .suitable places.. Thus a self -sustain. ing industry for the benefit of the na- tive population is being developed in the CanadianiArctic.

Winning Contest Essay William Beatty, Goderich Collegiate student, won first prize, a mantel ra- dio set, given by the Department of Mines & Resources in the Forestry Contest, conducted in conjunction with CKNX. His essay on "What Can I .Do To Protect Our, Forests?" was chosen first from 51 entries received from Huron, Bruce and Wellington Counties. This was the prize winning essay: "Alone I cap do nothing. But you, I, and the man in the little house by the tracks can, by metual effort, help to keep Canada from becoming a treeless desolation. "Most of us tend to casually accept the presence of leafy maples and towering pines. They took genera - •tions to grow; if destroyed they will take scores 61 years to replace. 1f we destroy a tree without replacing- it with a young tree wd are robbing fu- ture u-tore generations of a thing rof beauty and a source of wood, a vital neces- sity in our economy, If every land- owning individual would carry out his own system of reforestation we would have no fear that trees would ever vanish from the earth.

Mast of us can do little in a material way to further the various branches of forestry. But you, i, and the man in the house by the tracks can and should give our full support in the form or that nebulous thing called "public opinion." We, must base our opinion on a knowlledige of the situa- tion. If we do this and use reason- able care in our behaviour in wooded districts we will not have fallen down in our duty." 'Monday, May 5 -When an • all-out war effort ifl strongly demanded, it la not so easy to criticize the budget on the -ground of severity. There is ' no disagree- ment on the purpose of this two• bil- lion dollar affair, at least its, greatly prepondeant part which relates to the war. There Is, of course, room for criticism of some of the details. Therefore the discussion of the budget proteges to be 1?rief. Hon. Mr, Hanson, who was suppos- ed to lead off the debate on the bud- get 'today, received quite a shock when Mr. Douglas (C.C.F.) on the mo- tion to go into supply started a dis- cussion on the Federal Government's assistance to the provinces for unem- ployment relief. Mr. Hanson had giv- en the press his speech. in full. The evening papers came out early and it looked as' though he would not be able to commence his speech at all. However, the Ggv_ernment came to his rescue by getting :one of their mem- bers to adjourn the discussion start- ed by Mr. Douglas. It was an awk- ward position for the leader of the opposition. Mr. Hanson did' not minimize the :seriousness of the whole" war situa- tion and the dangerous position the Empire is in; he made it clear that his quarrel with the budget was not on the amount but on the details, and cited many things which he felt could be improved. However, on the whole he was reasonable and not too critical. Mr. Coldwell, the leader of the C. C.F., was critical of big business who, he thought, was still making too much profits while some of the em- ployees were having tough going. Mr. Quelch, for the Social Credit Group, complained also • about -our whole banking system and the Social Credit Group is moving an amend- ment, but the Conservatives are not. Hom Reid (Lib.) chided the Opposi- tion for not following the exam'p'le of Wendel Wilkie, who after the elec- tion was fought and won, declared that Mr. Roosevelt was his president. Mr. Gregory, for the Battlefords, was highly critical of Mrs. Neilson and ventured the opinion that if a plebiscite was taken, 85 per cent. of her constituents would vote. against her. He felt that she was doing ser- ious damage by her line of talk. One feature that cast a gloom over the House today was the announce- ment by the Navy Minister that 75 Canadians ,had lost their lives at sea.
