MOVE TO B.V.N HOUSECLEANING EUGENLA If the editor of the Feshcrton Ad- vance had his way, man would com- mence a crusade to ban spring house- cleaning. Just at the time the prev- alent spring disease among woman- kind is at its height he has the cour- age to come right out in the open, stand on a chair in the midst of a great collection of .shifted furniture on the verandah (literally speaking) and broadcast to the world at large that house cleaning is the "bunk." It is time, the Fle-sherton editor says, for man to "put his foot down" against such useless waste of energy. In this move Editor Thurston will have the solid backing of a phalanx of married men the world over â€" even though hardwood floors and vacuum cleaners have lightened male partici- pation (against their will, of course) in the annual shifting and general stirring up which invariably go hand in hand with house cleaning. In fact it would seem that some women try to create as much disorder as possible. The Herald's Hopeville correspond- ent touched on this seasonable subject (house cleaning) in her last budget and admitted that the usual good ra- tions are not dished up to the men at this season, either, and here is an- pther point where the men have a legitimate kick. In fact the people of the house are lucky if they have a table to cat off and a chair to sit on during what man terms the "crazy season.'' If at night he stubs his toe on a misplaced chair or bangs into the bureau where the bed used to be, all he can do now is say little and be thankful it only lasts a week or two. Yes, what this country needs is an Anti-House-cleaning Society, and for his boldness, yes bravery, for suggest- ing such an organization we think Editor Thurston should be honored for the presidency â€" if his wife will let him accept the job. [Editor's Note â€" We are indeed highly honored with Editor Mclntyre's suggestion of appointing us as the president of the above emancipating body of men, but we are sorry that we will have to decline to accept the position. If our brother editor knew what we have come through since we published our item for the improve- ment of man's condition in the world, he would have some sympathy with wr decision. But maybe he, too, knows by this time.] MORE SCREEN TEST Mrs. Jones: How on earth did you get so freckled? Roger: I fell asleep in the shade of a screen door.

Dewan, Minister of A'griculture for Ontario, stressed the necessity for strenuous precautions to free Ontario cattle from disease, if entrance to the British market was to be preserved. He stated that the province has to find a market for 200,000 to 300,000 cattle annually and the natural mark- ets are Great Britain and the United States, Already fifteen counties and four districts have been tested and are now certified as T.B. free areas. In Middlesex, Elgrin, Oxford, Brant, Wat- erloo, Bruce, Essex and other count- ies the work of testing the herds is well advanced the minister declar. ed. In addition to the prevention of disease the problem of animal nutrit- ion is an important one, Mr, Dewan said. Mineral deficiency is particul- arly menacingr, he stated, and is en- gaging the attention of the depart- ment. Experiments are being con- ducted with the feeding of minerals lacking in certain soils directly to the cattle. It is hoped through this re- search work to bring farmers new money-making facts about the feed- ing of live stock, the minister said.
