Toronto's Giant Castle, Casa Loma, Took Three Years To Build Ac Sione huifis ol the vast baronial home "Casa Lo:iia," buiit bv Sir Heinv r'il.:.-.i, -land okl Canadian, nje ahove Toronto at the crest of a hill. It took three years to build and cost nearly 81,500,000. Meeting •Witt financial reverses, Sir Henry had to part with the castle in 1923. WOMAN AGED WITH SaATlCA Now Praises Kruschen When sciatica attacked this woman six years ago, she couldn't â- wve v.ithout great pain. Treat- Bent after treatment failed to Mp her. She tried Kruschen and got quick relief. "Six years ago, I suffered ter- ribly from sciatica,' she writes. *1 tried everything, but to no •vail. Then I took Kruschen Salts. Tfce first few doses gave quick re- B«f. At the end of a few vveeks my •datica had gone. N'ow \ always Wjrin the day with a' pinch of Kmschen in a glass of water. I Hre a strenuous life, being widow- ed four years ago, and having a •on to keep. I run a boarding- kouse, rise at 6 a.m., and retire at 11 p.m. I am 52, but everyone Miys I look 32â€" thanks to Krus- ehen Salts."â€" (Mrs.) F.E.R. The severe pain which is char- acteristic of sciatica is often due to needle-pointed uric acid crystals in the sheath of the great sciatic nerve. Two of the ingredient salts Ja Kruschen dissolve uric acid crystals. Other salts in Kruschen help Nature to expel these dissolv- •d crystals through the natural channels. Gardening VINES There Is a mistaken notion that •llneing Tines will harm masohry. J» England where houses and the •hnrches have been so covered for ••ntnrleg gnch an opinion Is rldic- «l«d. On stone or brick or stucco walla, they will do no damage and tteir foliage keeps out oppressive heat In Summer because the wall Is always in the shade. SWEET PEAS Sweet Peas must be planted very •arly. This plant develops its ex- tensive root growth and upper vine structure when the weather is cool. If It does not get its feet well down Into the soil, then, when the days tnrn hot, It Is liable to wither and eease furnishing Its dally quota of color and fragrance. Planting directions are simple knt Important. Successful garden- •rs advise a trench, dug at least a loot deep, tilled within two Inches •t the top with rich soil, ml.\ed up with well rotted manure or old teaves. Seed Is planted just as early is the spring as possible, about an Inch or two deep. Rains will wash store soil Into the trench, filling it •p gradually and thus adding furth- er to root growth. When the upper plant starts to ••velop It wilt be necessary to sup- ply some climbing support In the lorm of brush, sfrings or chicken Wire. VEGETABLES Tbe smaller the amount of space •Tallable for vegetables, tbe more tetenslve should be the production. For Tery small vegetables like tottuce and radish, the rows 12 Ins. •part win be sutTicient. Beets, Mans, carrots, peas and spinach meed at least 15 Inches between, while potatoes, corn and staked to- sutoes must have a couple of feet •r thirty Inches. Space may be sav- ed with the latter type it something tnlck maturing such as lettuce, and spinach ars planted in between. The bigger ihiags will not need the tall room at first and by the time they do, the early crops will be out •f tbe way. Tt~^C' vegetable* are those that •re grown quickly, therefore the experts force theirs along with a chemical fertilizer, cultivation and. If possible, water.

Mj&'^^i^Mnai/^, WITH THE BOY SCOUTS There are 460,234 Boy Scouts in Great Britain v.nd Ireland at the close of 1938. The census showed 58,891 Scouts within the London area. The successful raising of a fund ot 250,000 pounds toward endow- ment of Imperial Headquarters of the Boy Scouts Association was announced by the President of the General Council, H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught, at the annual meet- ing In January. It may not be generally known that the collapse last winter of the famous Honeymoon Bridge over the Niagara river produced a free library for the village ot Que^en- ston. When the great ice jam oc- curred, and attracted throngs ot visitors. Rover Scouts ot the her- oric community pitched a tent at the scene, borrowed a stove, and sold "hot dogs." In a tew hours they netted a 'dy sum of $125. And with this fund they turned their ''den" into a library, with shelves, 'ables and standard library record equipment; and at its formal open- ing displayed a selection ot some 700 volumes. Books were secured from various sources, chiefly as do- nations. Rover Scouts In uniform act as librarians at stated hours. Young European refugees finding asylum in English homes are being Invited to join local Boy Scout troops, or special troops In refugee camps. The Southeast Lancashire County Council Is sending Scouts to personally invite each refugee >-«uth arriving in that area to be- come a member of the nearest Scout unit. That no one ever "muddled through" anything to success, not- withstanding the old British tradi- tion, was a declaration ot His Ex- cellency the Governor General, the Lord Tweedsmuir, Chief Scout for Canada, addressing the annual ban- quet ot 1,200 junior Scout leaders and guests at Montreal. "I do not bolieve it," stated Ills Excellency. "Nobody ever muddled through anything. In the Great War we muddled at the start, and stuck fast in the mud. We won in the end because we had learned to use our brains better than our op- ponents. Today's problems will ne- ver be solved by unstable, clever people with quick brains and noth- ing else. But neither will they be solved by honest stupidity. Charac- ter is a most important thing in life, but it must be illumined and directed by Intelligence." Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. Would it be proper, as an In- troduction, to say: "'Mr. Marshall, this Is Miss Wilson"? 2. Should the wedding rehearsal be held several days prior to the wedding? 3. When calling to see a friend who Is 111, and one Is nst permitted to see him, Is it all right to write a, short message on one's card? 4. What should one say, when talking with an acquaintance, and the latter makes some statement with which one heartily disagrees? B. Isn't It the privilege ot a guest to stay out of some game at a par- ty when be thinks the game is too childish and silly? 6. Is It permlssable to use one's handkerchief at the table? Answers: 1. Reverse the names. The man should be presented to the woman. Say: -Miss Wilson, this it Hr. Marshall." 2. No; It Is customary to have the rehearsal the day or evening preceding the wedding. 3. Yes. 4. Merely say: ''No. I do not ag- ree with you. I think, etc." How- ever, one should do this pleasantly and avoid provoking an argument, 6. No. It a guest cannot enter with zest Into all the games, be ihould not go to the party; nor will he be yery popular. I. Yes, it necessary, but it should be used at Inconspicuously as is possible. Kirkland Lake Baby Capital Gold is not the most valuable product being produced in Kirk- land Lake, Reeve R. J. Carter, of that municipality said last week. "Of far more lasting benefit," he said, "is its production of young Canadians. Highest In Dominion "We have, I believe, the highest birth rate in the Dominion â€" 38 per thousand â€" and one of the low- est death rates â€" 9 per thousand," he said. With a population of 23,000 Kirkland Lake has twice as> many live births a year as Niagara Falls, of the same population, and more than either Brantford with its 30,- 000 population, or Kingston with 25,000, Mr. Carter said. Canadian National Railways Revenues The gross revenues of the all- inclusivc Canadian Kational Rail- ways System for the week end- ing February 28, 1939, were $3,- 647,823, as compared with $3,- 622,202, for the corresponding period of 1938, •' decrease of i74,879.

Wasteful Practice Improvement in seed quality ia tc no avail in agriculture if some producers refc^n tl||fj*u that the land is an "inexhausiibie reservoir of plant food," W. T. (J.

Tho slipshod way it was manag- ed surprised him. "Look here," he said angrily to the shopkeeper-postmaster, "You're going to hear about this when I send In my report!" The shopkeeper disappeared be- hind the barrels, and a little while later emerged with a small box which contained some stamps and coppers and two small exercise books. lie turned them toward the inspector. "Here," he said, ''take your old post office and get out!" "But, my good man," said Mrs. Smith, dubiously, to the tramp at her door, "your story lias such a hollow ring." "Yes, ma'am. That's the natural result of speaking with an empty stomach." Some people were visiting 'a couple, and happened to mention their dog, a big mongrel. "He's just like one ot the fam- ily," said the pup's proud mistress. "Which one?" asked her hostess. Kitty: "It's five years aince I last saw you. You look lots older." Kate: "Really, my dear? I don't think 1 would have recog- nized you either If it hadn't been for the coat." You can't stump film folks. They'd hired a Red Indian tribe to give the right background to a Wild West picture, and wanted a pow-wow scene, with the braves speaking their native tongue. But none of them knew it. They could only speak English. "All right," said the film man, "speak English." Then, after the pow- wow, they reversed the sound- track â€" and now It sounds like real Redskin talk. Anyway, picture-goers will take It as "read." Mother (to daughter): "Why don't you yawn when he stays too long? He'll take the hint and go." Daughter: "I did, and he told me what beautiful teeth I had." Issue No. 11â€" '39 Low Priced Shores ofhr large profit possibi/jfies wih ride of little money.
