Strength and Energy
Of Premier Clemenceau
Were Needed in France

A1.TITOUGHClemenceau has
been Premier only a comitar-
atively short time, the .effect
of his policy is already felt
in France. Despite tate expectation,
whlcll, has now become fairly general,
of a German drive in the near future,
the morale of the French population
is excellent.
Even the Saelaclist and Labor ele-
ments, whose loaders are in strong;
opposition to the present Govern-
ment, have benefitted by the strong
hand at the helm, Albert Thomas re-
cently declared in an interview with
the London Daily News correspondent
that French Labor was prepared to
fight the war out to the end, provid-
ed it tvr. s assured that profiteering
and Bolalsm would receive short
shrif L.
As regards the former, Clemenceau
has already announced the restric-
tions that are contemplated, and 11 is
understood that the Government in-
tends to take measures, through
cards and registration of food stores,
to insure supplies reaching, the con-
sumer without undue profits by,
middlemen.
No less uttcomprotnicinr; is the
Premier's attitude towt'rd si endals."
He said frankly to the Committee of
Eleven appointed to report on the
suspension of Caillarx's Parliamen-
tary immunity that unle::s their vote
Y.'rges Production.
The Bishop of Iluron has issued a
Pastoral on the subject of greater
production, which will be sent out to
all tb.e clergy of the diocese, asking
them to endeavor to enlist the mem-
bers of their parishers in the 1915
greater production campaign. The
pastoral is a call to agricultural ser-
vice.
A Ford Car Takes the Place
of all These Things
HEN you own a Ford you can do away with many articles
that are a source of continuous expense to the man who still
drives a horse. For instance, not only your driving -horse
and buggy, but the single harness, blankets, whips, currycombs,
brushes, horse -shoes, pitch -forks, feed -bins, etc.
In their place you have a speedy, dependable, dignified, roomy
Ford Car—complete in itself. It is vastly superiorto the narrow,
cramped buggy that travels so slowly. And wen a Ford is standing
idle it does not eat three meals a day, and it requires no "looking
after."
A Ford will save you time, trouble, and money. It is the utility
car for the busy farmer and his family.

The second reform is the decree
that high ofcet's of the army shall
be retired on reaching the age limit
Of their grade. This rule has been
allowed to fall into abeyance, with
the result that generals with political
or other influence have commanded
•on the battle field despite the fact
that their usefulness was impaired by
years and infirmities. Henceforth ro
such considerations will be entertain-
ed. Each general will be judged
by his achievements, and the order
of retirement will be enforced whet_
the age limit is reached unless excep•
tional military g'fts warrant an ex-
tension of service.
Another measure which gives great
satisfaction to the combatant part of
the French army is the latest of Cie-
mehseau's reforms—the decision that
temporary promotion shall be given
only to officers of regiments on the
firing' line. The official decree re-
garding this point states clearly that
the principle of such promotions is
the replacing of killed or wounded
officers by their subordinates, who it
return for the additional responsibil-
ity, are entitled to assume snperio'•
rank. Obviously such procedure shall
not apply to formations behind the'
firing line, where the risk of death
or wounds is far smaller, and tem-
porary promotions are generally ar-
ranged by an elaborate system of
transference from one position to an-
other. In eliminating the pbssibility
of such arrangements Clemenceau has
destroyed one of the greatest griev-
aneetf of the really combatant offi-
cers.

Tho Crhunial Age.
If a man is going to commit a
crime the chances are that he will
do it at the age of twenty-nine. It
is a curious fact that statisties have
shown that man is more dangerous
at this period of his life than at any
other. The general supposition is
that !nen have attained the hilliest
development of their mental and phy-
sical powers at twenty-nine. Next to
the age of twenty-nine the greater'
number of criminals have hero

T NO TIME. in many years has
the necessity and importance
of the home vegetable garden
been so clearly shown as for
this coming summer. France, our
wonderful ally, has since the French.
Revolution been a nation of small
farmers, her people of smalls means
cultivating some available land to
produce a portion of their own house-
hold foodstuffs ,and to increase the
Wealth of the nation. Great Britain,.
threatened with a shortage of food-
stuffs, determined to cultivate all
available land possible to offset this
shortage and we, in Canada, bending
every energy toward facilitating
these great nations should do all in
aur individual power to do something
in the hope of helping ourselves and
assisting the commercial vegetable
growers who are seriously handicap-
ped by the shortage of labor in the
production of vegetable foodstuffs.
Every city, town and village dweller
has an o: epriunity to help in this
great work, in that there aro hun-
dreds of available plots now practi-
cally unproductive; which could be
made grow vegetables and thus add to
the wealth of the country.
Vegetables an Important Food.
Vegetables should form an import-
ant portion of the daily food of the
average human being, for they pos-
sess qualities which we are told are
essential in the proper digestion. of
the heavy foods, such as meats.
All backyards cannot be prepared
in one year to grow vegetables of an
excellent quality. Some portion of ehe
yard, however, may be devoted to
this purpose, or, if it is convenient,
there are usually many vacant lots
which are not too far from one's place
of abode which possibly could be de-
voted to the growing of vegetables.
Some Essentials,
LEMONS WHITEN AND

First of all it is essential that the
vegetable garden, no matter how
small, bo planted according to some
plan or rule. No one attempts to
build a house or to set out a peren-
nial Sower border without using some
drawing or Chart to go by. Why
should the vegetable garden be treat-
ed differently? Haphazard planting
will prove a failure, and in order to
overcome this it should be remember-
ed in laying out the garden that—
(1) Tall plants will be most effec-
tive if placed behind low ones, not
intermingled with them.
(2) All plants closely ' allied
should be grown together, not In the
same row, but in rows adjoining one'
another.
(3) Thefences may be decorated
with.vine crops which may be support-
ed on the fences by means of strings
or lattice work.
(4) All quickly maturing vege-
tables should be planted in a portion
of the garden by themselves so that
they may be harvested and the ground
used for other crops later on.
Securo Seed Now --Hut Plant Only
When Soil Is Ready.
The backyard gardener should de-
cide very early which crops are to be
grown and should purchase his seed
as soon as possible. It must be re-
membered, however, that much of
this seed may be wasted if it is plant-
ed too early in the season. The soil
must be warm to receive the seeds,
and amateur gardeners must have
Patience until it is certain that good
growing weather has come. It is pos-
sible in ordinary seasons • to plant
some vegetables in April, and yet
many backyard vegetable enthusiasts
will be well advised to wait until the
middle of May before doing very
much in the -garden,
