FORMER CRIPPLE NOW PLAYS TENNIS Rheumatum in Feet Relieved Here is a story of a young man who had almost given up hope of taking part in active sports with his fellows again. He tells hovj he tried one remedy after another and how finally a former sufferer pui him on the way to recovery: â€" "Two years ago I started with pains in the feet which gradually got worse. I tried 'everything under the gun' but to no effect. Whilst wait- ing for treatment one evening, an- other patient advised me to try Kruschen Salts. That was twelve months ago; the relief was not sud- den, but the pain and swelling gradually left my feet, and in six months I amazed my friends by tak- ing long walks iiito the country. This year I have playpH a good deal of tennis, a thing which I had begun to think T should never do again." â€" C.W. Rheumatic pain and swelling is frequently caused by excess uric acid accumulating in the body. Kruschen contains two ingredients which are notable for their work in dissolving nric acid deposits. Other ingredients in Kruschen assist the internal or gans to expel this dissolved acid from the system. Good Animals Are Lower Cost Of Production Or. Archibald Addresses Valley Ayrshire Breeders â€" Value Of R. O. P. Conserve labour on the farm by us- ing good cattle. To lower the cost of production on farms, keep live stock of high tjuallty. A pnre bred breeder should be a leader In a community. In this regard each member of a pure- â- bred association is responsible to the comni unity as a breeder of pure bred cattle. The above summarizes some of the practical advice given by Dr. E. S. Archibald, in his after lunch to the membei ; oi the Ottawa Valley Ayr- shire Breeders' Club attending the Ayrshire barn meeting on April 14 at the Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa. Dr. Archibald also advocated the economic utility of the small re- gional fairs which might be increased if they made R.O.P. the basis of en- try. "Pedigree alone." he said, "is the poorest standard for breeders. Stan- dardizing certain families Is the aim and R. O. P. the medium." The attendance represented each of the communities In the Ottawa Val- ley area overtaken by the club. G. W. Muir. animal husbandman, con- ducted the ''emonstrations, explaining in his U8U.lI able manner regarding couforniatiou points of an Ayrshire that indicate high quality. In demon- strating the herd sires are kept at the Central Farm the get of sire clas- ses provided an interesting exhibition. At the luncheon held in the .Main Bulidins. Frank Napier, addressed the gathering. Dr. Alan Deskiu. of the Animal Husbandry Division staff, dis- cussed the lutstaudiug points arisin.i? from breeding problems at conducted on farms. Dr. C.

Well, WeU, "Ain't" Science Wonderful CHAFEl, HILL, N.C. â€" House- wives got a word of advice from the American Chemical Society this â- w.eek. Look at the calendar before de- ciding whether to fry, boil, or bake fish. Fish, it Hj)p<^ars from a study an- nounced hy Maurice E. Standsby of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries. College Park, .Mil., differ vastly from month to month In the amouut of oil. "Fish '.laving high oil contents,'' he sa: 1, ".should never bo fried, since frying |)iocess decomposes the highly unsuitable oil to give rancid flavors. Some species of fish may bo fried at one season when ..hey have a low oil content, hut are better broiled or bak- ed at other seasons " For instance, ho said, the season to fly ;>iackerel is in the spring. They should bo broiled or baked in late sumuit^r or early fall. Late in the year their oil content rises nearly .30 per cent. /•w^t.^^^.. Gardening Bv GORDON L. SMITH It is a good plan to use started an- nual flowers plants secured from any seed store, greenhouse or florist for planting among tulips and others of the Spring flowering bulbs which will be past their best In a few more weeks as these hide the dying foliage. Then again, quick-growing annuals will al- ways be useful for filling In any blind spots in the perennial beds where Winter has been unusually severe. AND PERENNIALS TOO It is not too late in most parts of Canada to order and plant perennial flowers ""nd even shrubs and vines. Often towards the end of the season prices are lower and while the selec- tion is not as wide as earlier, there should be a good choice. THE NEW LAWN Unless the ground was tfaorouglily cultivated and then allowed to lie idle the year before the lawn was sown there is bound to be a good deal of weed se.-d in the soil, and some of «»»»**»*««»»«»»«»««â- â- Â«Â«â- Â«Â» this will germinate after the lawn Is Bo^.n. Such weeds should be removed constantly, especially In the earlier stages. A good lawn fertiller every year will push the grass along suf- ficiently to choke out most of these offenders. The first cutting of the grass in the spring is made with a very sharp mower to avoid pulling out plants when the ground is soft. Fi'equent rolling is also advised at this time. For permanent lawns of deep green colour and fine texture, good quality package seed is advisable. KITCHEN GARDENS It is advisable of course, to keep a plentiful supply of salad material like leaf and head lettuce, onions and pos- sibly celery in the kitchen garden. The latter is set out In the garden as well started plants usually after all danger of frost is over. For Fall stor- age, planting takes place in June jr even July.

TORONTO He Didn't Want This Printed There are people who are anxious to have something put in the paper. There are others who take e.xactly the opposite attitude, and this article has to do with one of the latter. At far written, but we must continue to tlie point where he insists that noth- ing be printed. He docs not sell his flowers, but gives them all away â€" and he has been doing that for 17 years. The Examiner first heard of it from a man outside the city who was in hospital here. He knew no person and found the days rather long until Mr. Parker arrived with a pot of flowers. How many sick folk and shut-in people have been treated similarly during all these 17 years we do not know, but the number would find totality only in a long and impressive list. The idea seemed to be so entirely wholesome that the Examiner felt it was right that Mr. Parker's request that nothing be said about it should be put to one side for the moment. Living as we are, in an age when a good many folk are given to think- ing of themselves it seemed right and just that the devotion of an ideal which Mr. Parker has held for 17 years (and perhaps longer) should be brought out in the open. So there it is and we believe our readers will agree that our judgment in this case was correct. â€" The Peterborough Ex- aminer. $9S,OOO,000 In New Revenue London Reports Smokers And Motorists to B«ar Added Tax Burden LONDON, Eng. â€" Increased tax burden predicted for the coming fis- cal year will be carried in the main by the motorist and smoker, the News- Chronicle predicted this week. QUILTED CHAIR PADS LEND A QUAINT TOUCH By RUTH WYETH SPEARS Many a chair t'liat is now pictui-esi|ue, but decideilly uncomfort- able, might gain both in comfort and (luaintness with the addition of quilted chair pads. Our great grandmothers used such pads on lad- der-back chairs, and chose the g:i.\est of I'hintzes both glazed and unglazed for them. Today we can use duplicates of those tine old iluDtz patterns, and what charm they add to our room color schemes! Kvcn the old quilt block designs of colonial days, with all i,heir gay LViiico pat- terns, are reproduiu^d in chintz now. You might like to use one of these for your chair pads, and if you do I suggest that you let your quilting follow the outline of the iiuilt bloik pattern in the chintz instead of using the diagonal c|uilting shown in this sketch. You will find that in nmking such small things as chair pads the (|uilting may be done very efficiently on the sewing machine. Few people have time to do hand (juilting any more, and deforalors are using machine quilting for many purposes. The pads shown here are made with one layer of sheet wadding between two layers of chintz. The edge bindings and tie.s are made of bias tape. Cut the three layers of the pad material exactly the size and shape you want them to be when finished, flace the sheet wadding between the two layers of chintz, as shown here at A. Either pin or baste in this position and then quilt as .shown at B. Make the ties by stitching the lengthwise edges of the tai)e together and then tack the ties to the corners of the pad before it is ijound, as shown hre at C. .Now, bind the edges of the pad as at U, .sewing the ties right in with the binding.

Parker; he is in the Cu.stoms Of lice and resides at 522 Charlotte Street. That, we believe, identilies him so there can be no error. Mr. Parker plants bulbs and he does it so carefully and thoroughly that they seldom fail to grow and bloom. When they come to the stage of blooming they seem to enjoy it so thoroughly they bloom for a long time. His daffodils look like young .sunflowers, and he grow.s tulips and hyacinth.s. He searches for the fer- tilizer he wantsj he cuts and prepares the earth he prefers, and in the Fall ho spends entire evenings working with his bulbs. During the Winter he keeps them in pots, cool and dark and rpoist, and insists they get well rooted before bringing them to the light. This year he had in all 225 pots filled with flowering bulbs.

Discovery Made In Purifying Food Pulverized Carbon Attracts Un- wanted Tastes and Odors CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The gas masks of wartime have resulted In the discovery of a ''magnet" that extracts the bad tastes and flavors and un- wanted odors from food and drink. The taste magnet, described to the American Chemical Society to-day by John W. Hassler of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co.( Tyrone, Pa., uses t^e same kind of carbon ns gas masks The carbon Is "activated'', that is it is given an unusual power of attrac- tio. This is done by pulverizing the black material into particles so fine that the carbon is virtually all sur- face. In that condition It acquires the electrical forces common to the car- bon atoms that form one of the basic substances of all the living world. TJse of the taste magnet Is limited to food which can be temporarily re- duced to a liquid or a gas during the treatment. It is also limited to the tastes and odors due to impurities. "For example." said Hassler, ''it is not possible to make (piinine less bit- ter by treatment with activated car- bon, because bitterness is a pliysia- chemical property of quinine. How- ever, if a liquid happens to contain quinine, then activated carbon will remove the bitter taste by actually absorbing the quinine and removing it from the solution. ' He said that the carbon magnet takes unwanted flavors out of sorg- hum, cane and corn syrups, pineapple juice, vinegar and various drugs. It is particularly good, for cleaning up al- coholic liquors, wines, glycerines and water. It has worked out well on lard and sugar. In the case of gelatin, the car- bon remove"- virtually all traces of an. imal odors. Wart Cure Given A method of absorbing warts, which he said may be of use in some can- cerous or pre-taucerouR skin condi- lions, was reported by John R. Cald- nell of Ohio State University, now with the Tf'iinessee Eastman Corpor- ation. rhe water is first treated like the proverbial boy who swelled up be- cause he drank water after over-eat- ing dry apples. .Sodium hydroxide is place on the wa't, .vhich ilieieuiH)!! fills itself full of wt.tei- and becomes abnormally swollen. "If.'' said Dr. Caldwell, "a wart swollen by the action of sodium hy- droxide is Immediately treated with diluted alcoholic hydrochloride acid, I he proteins in the wart are coagulat- ed. A portion of the wart cbines off after a day or two. liy repeating the process at suitable intervals the wait may usiiall. be removed painlessly and with very little scar." Some of (he troubles of hay levor sufferers who fail to get i-elief from pioteins whose injection is intended lo immunize them, can he avoided by a discoveiv leportcd by five Xovv Yorkers. There has been nouble, they said, because proteins sometimes deterior- ated after ;)iei>aralion They found the enzyme, always pr.'seiit with the pioteins aie responsible. The scien- tists kill the enzymes by heat or for- maldehyde, and report that this in all cases leaves the h:iy fever proteins unchanged. Forest Tree Brsedihg The tiee planter is beginning mow to pay more attention to the pedi- gree of his stock. .Mudi of the bad plantations that we have are duo to the fact that we have neen planting trees of the wrong kind or "race." There are i|uite obviously trees of bad form and trees of jjooil form, in any forest, ami the trees of bad form liave been found to remain trees of bad form no matter how carefully they are temled and managed. In .Tny ji.Titicular species, .say Scots pine, Douglas fir, or spruce, there are individual specimens which develop clean, straight stems. These trees produce seed which will ;;ive rise to trees of similar type.

Benny Eats Old Cars Just now junk has a new status' in the world and now we shall kno\^ \ what to do with our old automobiles,' The piles of ungainly, rusty car parts and bodies have been eye- ' sores in many cities in the past fe'vf ] years. If they can be removed by • the mere demand for scrap iron th4- civic outlook and community prida will be inspii'ed. If we lived in Buffalo, .N'.Y., w« could attend (luite decent obsequies of our faithful old cars and see how machinery deals with junk in th« mass. The trouble with old automo-, biles has been the great loss if ths car bodies were pitched into a cru- cible porcess or furnace for recon-' ditioning. Buffalo has a giant auto- smashing machine, quaintly calle4. "Big Benny." It saves the loss. I^ crushes old car bodies and bundle^ them into neat packages to cast int^ the steel furnaces to reduce mori profitably. This powerful auto-cruncher wolfg down 30 car bodies in an hour. The operator pushes a button, a magnetic crane lifts a car body, stripped of glass, wood, eng:ine, wheels, chassis, and dumps it into a pit. "Benny" grinds his teeth and the sides of the pit come together. Un- der terriffic pressure, a heavy ram moves forward against the rasping metal. "Benny" backs off, and the once sleek auto comes out of the pit, squeezed into a lump of metal about the size of an orange crate. The ponderous mechanical monster also relishes bed springs, oil barrels, old wastepaper baskets or any sheet .steel graded as Xo. 2 heavy melt.
