f THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., MAY 13tK, 1937, kept IN BED BY BACKACHE Now -- Thanks to Kruschen -- Not a Trace of Pain This woman's life was made a misery by the pains of backache. Then her father, who had proved the value of Kruschen himself, advised her to try it. She did, and here is her grateful letter:-- "For years I have Deen suffering with pains in the back. At times I had to stay in bed for days. I could not walk, or even stand. My father was using Kruschen Salts for the same thing. He, too, used to suffer badly, and Kruschen relieved him. He advised me to try it. I did so, and did not get a pain for three years. I then neglected my daily dose for about six months, and two months ago the pain returned. I tried another remedy--it faile*', so I again started Kruschen. Now I have not a trace of pain, thanks to Kruschen."--(Mrs.) H.R. Pains in the back are usually due to impurities in the blood -- waste products which the internal organs are failing to expel from the system. The numerous salts in Kruschen assist in stimulating these organs to healthy, normal activity, and so help them to keep the system free from harmful waste matter. Three New 1937 Cream Separators To Be Given Away In Contest The manufacturers of the Anker-Holth Cream Separator announce a novel contest in which the company will give away three of its 1937 streamlined Chief Models with stainless steel discs and White Duco finish. Those who participate in the contest need not buy anything to enter--it is open to anyone except Anker-Holth dealers and their employees and employees of Anker-Holth Manufacturing Company. Each contestant is to state in his own words, as many or as few as he likes, why he wants his next cream separator to have a self-balancing bowl and be guaranteed in writing to be self-balancing. That is all there is to it. To each of those sending in the three best answers, the manufacturer will ship, all charges paid, one of these new 1937 models. Poultry Keepers A Bargain For You The last 100 complete sets of the famous Cold-Belt Poultry Course-- to be cleared at a sacrifice. Discontinuing the Course. It will not be ^ reprinted. ',^tet!-QaXoritative'^ourree in Fo<£ SHAW SCHOOLS LIMITED Dept. P.W. 1130 Bay St., Toronto Gardening Bv GORDON L. SMITH During the early part of the season, a little cultivation every week will help plants along wonderfully. The purpose is two-fold. Unsightly weeds are killed and valuable moisture is conserved. Growth is hurried along. Later on as the flowers or vegetables develop it will not be necessary io cultivate so often. Sometimes a mulch of short straw or grass clippings is used to retain moisture during the Summer. It keeps the underlying soil moist, open and free from weeds. Seed as a Foundation The importance of good seed is impossible to over-emphasize. Other factors may be beyond control, but the gardener has absolute check over this foundation. Weather, soil and location may be ideal, but without good seed, especially selected to suit Canadian conditions, the garden is going to be a failure. There is no guarantee that a flower which has given wonderful results in Great Britain or the Southern States will do equally well in this country, and because of this the average gardener is well advised to secur< nursery stock from a reliable Canadian source. Flower Points Many fine points can be considered when laying out a flower garden. Certain shades blend well together and often a whole bed will be selected with this blending in mind. Of course, for this sort of thing all the plants must bloom during the same period. Fragrance should be taken into account as there are some spicy things like Evening Scented Stock, Nicotine, Mignonette, Sweet Sultan and Verbena which, while rather plain as plants, fill the whole garden with a delightful incense, more especially in the evening. In shaded quarters, Tuberous rooted Begonias, Pansies and wild flowers will do well. In fact they prefer this location to any other. In partial shade nearly every annual can be grown. On poor soil Portulaca is a favorite, as well as Alyssum, Sweet-scented Stocks, Linum, Calendulas, Calliopis, Sunflowers, Schizanthus, Salpiglossis, Marigolds, Petunias, and many others. These will also successfully resist dry weather. "heARD Guffs of May Wind Greed distorts the vision of even the most careful investors . . .

COLLING SECURITIES CORPORATION LTD. 357 Bay Street TORONTO Trial Tests Of Root And Vegetable Seeds A comprehensive scheme for an extension of trial tests of field root and garden vegetable seeds is to be put in operation at Macdonald College, Quebec, Manitoba Agricultural College, Winnipeg, the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. and Vineland Station, Ontario. Horticulturists at these stations have now agreed to co-operate in the tests, setting aside for this purpose at least 1% acres of land. They have also agreed to supervise the necessary work of preparation, the sowing and the cultivation. An undergraduate or graduate will be appointed by each station for a period of at least six months to take direct charge of the The Seed Branch and the Experimental Farms Branch, Dominion Department of 9griculture and the Canadian Seed Growers' Association are co-operating with these stations in the tests. This extension of tests is partially the outcome of the discussion and resolution by the Horticultural Plant Breeders Committee of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association the idea of the Committee being that, if all parties interested in this work were to co-operate and the trials extended to stations nearest the wholesale see dcentres, information of inestimable value to all would be secured. The extending of the purity of variety tests is also intended as an alternative to the licensing of new varieties of field roots and garden vegetable seeds being omitted when the Seeds Act comes up for revision in Parliament during, it is hoped, the Better Papers in the DOUBLE Automatic Booklet 6ha/htee£eJt^ CIGARETTE PAPERS El 'DOUBLE present session of Parliament. The working out of the details of the program have been tentatively agreed upon, the Horticultural Division of the Experimental Farms Branch being delegated to collect approximately 50 samples of new recommended varieties for merit tests, and the Canadian Seed Growers' Association having about 100 samples of Canadian-grown registered seed stocks for verification tests. These samples will be forwarded tt the office of the chief of the Seed Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, for entry and transmission to the trial grounds. After allowing for these tests, also there will be more room at each of the trial grounds fc about 150 samples of garden vegetables taken by the Seed Branch from the trade for purity of variety, tests to check the truth in advertising under Section 10 of the Seeds Act. HOW TO SEW By RUTH WYETH SPEARS Modedn Setting I The crazy patch is the oldest-of "quilt patterns yet there is s thing amazingly modern in its angular lines. So whether your living-room is traditional in style or newer than tomorrow you will be interested in the revival of crazy patch work for what our grandmothers and great grandmothers called a "slumber throw". A corner of one of these old silk crazy quilts is shown here at the lower right. The pieces were small--many not more than 1% inches wide or long. A variety of embroidery stitches join the pieces. Both plain and figured silks were used, the plain patches often being embroidered with flowTers, fans and other amusing motifs--not the beetle embroidered on one patch. Several colors of silk embroidery thread were generally used but in the most artistic of these quilts one color predominated in the embroidery. Larger patches with simple feather stitch and herring-bone stitch at the joinings also give a good effect. The pieces are sewed to a foundation of some firm soft material. Outing flannel or an old wool blanket are good. Pin a piece in place over the space to be filled, trim the edges to the right shape, as at A, allowing enough to turn under, as at B, where the patch laps over the one next to it. Baste the turned edges down, as shown. When a number of patches have been basted in place, sew them down to the foundation with the embroidery stitches and then remove the bastings. The backing is tied to the front with silk embroidery thread as comforters are tied. Little or no padding may be used and a plain band Mound the edge is effective.

Address: Mrs. Ruth Wyeth Spears, 73 Adelaide Street West, Toronto Thinks Children Like Discipline BOSTON, -- Dr. W Linwood Chase well-konwn educationist, lecturer and author, think„ children like discipline. They like the security that comes from parents who take responsibility and make demands upon them. They may object vigorously at the time, and vociferously, but they like parents who take decided stands on all things," he said. Dr. Chase has little patience with the kind of schooling that sugar-coats or the kind of discipline that countenances unwise freedom, for he thinks that the boy must then suffer the inevitable consequences of such treatment. If a child's behavior irritates an adult, it may only be the symptom of a real conflict that the child himself is engaged in when he tries to do what is expected of him. Until this conflict is understood, little can be accomplished in settling the child on the path of adjustment to things all about him. Dr. Chase also believes a happy atmosphere at school is essentia). 40 Carpenters Build A House In One Way PORT ARTHUR, Texas.--Speaking of speed: As a courtesy to Mrs. Ivan Vick, widow of a fellow union member, the Carpenters' Union built her a four-room house in a day's time.
