1\ At 62-In Bed With Rheumatism At 65 Working Again Why worry about rheumatism ? This old fellow had it almost as bad aa it could be. But he just found the right remedy, stuck to it, and BOW he's working again â€" at 65 years ot age. Let him tell you about it: â€" "For two years and a half," he writes, "I lave suffered from rheumatism. For •ighteen montiu I could not turn wer in bed, nor heip mysef in any way. My legs and feet were swollen, and I could not sleep or get any rest until I started taking Kruschen Salts. After taking one bottle, I went about on two canes. I kept on taking it, ma I found the pains were leaving Be. 1 have taken six bottles, and now 1 have started work again. I •m 65 years of age, and everybody that knows me says 1 am a wonder to get on, after what 1 was." â€" J. B. Do you realise what causes rheu- matism ? Nothing but sharp-edged uric acid crystals which form as the TCiiult of sluggish eliminating organs. Kruschen Salts can always be count- ed upon to cleai these painful cry- Itals from the system.

Have headaches, dizzi- ness, stomach upsets. Well, scientists say the cause of all this, in a great many cases, is simply an acid condition of the stomach. Nothing more. All you have to do is to neutralize the excess stomach acidity. When you have one of these acid stomach upsets, take Phillips' Milk of Magnesia after meals and before going to bed. Thai's all! Try this. Soon you'll feel like another person! Take cither the familiar liquid "PHILLIPS' " or the convenient new Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Tablets. Made in Canada.

Phillips' Seadromes to Aid I Atlantic Flying Fifteen years ago Edward Arm- 1 strong, a well-known American In.' ventor, conceived the idea of a mar- ine structure that would have cer- tain unique properties. This struct- j ure he termed a seadrome. The in- 1 ventor saw in a floating vessel that remained â-  steady without and tend- ency to roll or pitch, whatever the state of the sea, a number of im- portant uses. In this article I am going to deal solely with the possibilities of such I a structure with regard to floating j airports, and in particular those I that have' been desiuned by the in- ventor for use on the North Atlan- tic airway. For some yjars we have heard of the idea of floating islands across the At'antic on which aircraft could land to refuel, and thus over- come the otherwise insuperable dif- ficulty of bridging the .Atlantic and at the same time carrying an economic payload. Many pilots have prove:! that the Atlantic can be crossed, but to do this they have had to carry such a huge load of petrol that there was no room for anything else. Indeed, it is generally considered that a range of 500 miles is about the limit for an air-liner running a commercial service. The idea of a string of floating airports at intervals of 450 miles across the Atlantic would therefore solve this difficulty, provided that these airports were possible from an aeronautical, marine and econo- mic viewpoint. I personally always regarded this idea as fantastic until I was given the opportunity of studying the claims of the seadrome in detail. I The result of the preliminary in- vestigations of the past few weeks that I have carried out with the assistance of the official represen- tative of the Seadrome Ocean Dock Corporation of .A.merica leaves no doubt in my mind that 24-hour London-Xew York service la cap- able of immediate operation from every p'lint of view. • • • The suggested scheme is to moor five seadromes at 45<V-mile inter- vals along the 38th parallel of lati- tude. These seadromes consist of a flight deck 1,500 feet in length and 300 feet in width, supported on 32 streamline telescopic r'llars, 103 feet above sea level. When in position these pillars are sunk to a depth of 208 feet below the surface and ballast and bouy- ancy tar are so arranged in them that the centres of bouyancy and gravity of ttie whole seadrome structure are well below the agi- tated surface of the sea. The sea- drome is therefore at all times floating in .suspension in still water. The supporting pillars aio of such size, construction and shape that they offer pii-.ctically no resistance to waves, and so do not bar their passage. N'o eiiergry is therefore released from the waves to be absorbed by the pillars as impact force. The prospect of the seadrome be- ing damaged by a storm, as so often happens to Atlantic liners, need not therefore be considered. The liner Is floating in the agitated water, is constantly breaking waves and thus absorbing their energy. The sea- drome is floating in suspension be- neath this agitated surface, and the waves pass through the pillars un- disturbed, as they do through those of a seaside pier. I have seen films depicting the official experiments with models of the seadrome in one of the United States Navy Dockyard basins. The claims of the inventor with regard to the unique stability of the sea- drome in stormy weather were here justified in every way. I saw on model about 15 feet long alongside one of the Majestic to the same scale. The manufac- tured waves were of such a size that the Majesti'^ was shipping them over her funnels. It would have been impossible for her to have survived such a storm in real life. Throughout the demonstration, how- ever, no movement could be detectd in the seadrome. I saw another model which was over 30 feet high being MEET TO DISCUSS tent of tariffs placed against them. Dr. H. T.

The extent to which in- sects can carry on their work of destruction is not readily realized This is because the stoutest chain cable ever made would break from its own weight at a depth of 13,000 feet. The suspension type cables have ample strength for them to reach a theoretical depth of 60,000 feet before breaking. This cable is to be attached to the seadrome struc- ture buoy, which in turn, is at- for Canadian seed potatoes; market possibilities both foreiim and dom- tained that great credit is due to the Dominion Entomological Branch estic for commercial grades; pro-, f^^ what has been done in this field blems of transportation and the pos- sibilities of increasing consumption of potatoes by advertising.

Mr. Bilkey reviewed factors mili- tating against any important altera- tion during the past year in the fundamental conditions which lay beneath the world-wide depression, such as political upheavals and recurrent threats of war on tha continent of Europe; collapse of efforts towards universal disarma- ment and uncertainties surrounding developments in the Far East and continued "It is scarcely surprising, therefore, that a recent estfinato of the gain in world trade based upon the exports of 19 countries has amounted to only five per cent, since the low point of the depression was reached. "In these circumstances, the eco- nomic grains actually registered in Canada in 1934 were all the more notev^•orthy. They were significant of the ability of the Dominion to so employ its own resources as to at- tain some measure of immunity from commercial debility prevalent else- where." Mr. Bilkey found large increases in the physical volume of business, in e.\:ternal trade, including higher exports of newsprint, pig iron, steel, etc., and an encouraging rise in volume of reveune freight carried by the railways. The improvement, however, was by no means general. There were many lines of business it failed to reacli and a very large number of individuals derived no benefit from it. Generally speak- ing, therefore, the psychological re- action was disappointing. also be on each.
