Toronto, Ont Imperial Veterans The Provincial Command held a general meeting on May 1st, to appoint Provincial Committees for Welfare, Pensions, Finance, Parades, Instrument and Pipe Bands and Publicity. A congratulatory cable was sent to the King and Queen on their Silver Anniversary. Two parades have been staged this year. The Gallipoli one, which was all Imperial, and the best one the "Immortals" ever had--thanks to W. Watson, Assistant Secretary of the Eastern Zone in Toronto, and t" attendance at the Provincial Pari: ment celebrations in Toronto, also made possible by the same chap. Repercussions from these parades reflect the need of bands, and more recognition of Imperials as an organized body by tffe authorities, steps being taken to remedy both of these matters now. Now that Toronto Imperials are organized and have created a Provincial and Dominion Command, a constitution also drawn up and accepted, will be printed shortly. Copies will be sent free to anyone in the province outside Toronto, who 's interested in promoting growth of a solely Imperial organization, on their formal request to the Provincial Secretary, Chas. E. Mar-ley, Imperial Veterans' Corps in Canada, at the Corps Headquarters, 453 Broadview Avenue, Toronto. The Royal Coat-of-Arms Corps Badge will soon be available also. Toronto Zone news reports a general meeting of the Western to be held at St. Julien Hall, 1330 Bloor St. W., on 15th inst, and the recently elected officers for 1935 as follows: B.

Of course it is impossible to secure these ideal conditions, and Canada is fortunate in possessing a climate which will produce good vegetables on almost any kind of soil. If possible an exposure towards the south or east should be arranged since the sun is supposed to be tne best for encouraging growth. But with soli. ve'.opment in Canada, Premier D. Tilley of New Brunswick announced recently he had asked Hon. R. B. Hanson, minister of trade and commerce, to look into the matter. "I have asked Minister Hanson to take this matter up because it seemis to be a move to influence the pub. lie against potato starch develop, ment," the premier said. He stated that New Brunswick with extensive potato - growing areas is vitally Interested in Canadian manufacture of potato starch.

Where screening is wanted- both winter as well as summer, evergreens should be chosen. Of the vines there are the Virginia Creepers, some of whioh will cling without support, Dutchman's Pipe, Boston Ivy, Trumpet Vine, Clematis and New gardeners should guard against planting too deep. Very fine seed like that of the poppy and alyssum, for instance, is best mixed with a little dry sand and the mixture sown. With small seed merely pressing into finely prepared soil will be sufficient. The general rule is to sow to a depth of three times the diameter of the seed. This will mean sing in most flowers and vegetable seeds, except things like Beans, Nasturtiums, Peas, Corn and Squash, which are large and should be covered about an inch and a half deep. Bulbs or corms, like the Dahlia, Gladiolus and potatoes may be put down quite a piece, from four inches foot. WAS CONSTIPATED FOR 30 YEARS Woman's Long Search For a Remedy The trouble with most remedies for constipation, as this womaa found, is that they give only temporary relief. Having at last found a permanent corrective, she writes to ■ "1 us about it:-- 'For upwards of 30 years I was a victim of acute constipation. I triei practicality everything that it wai possible to try. I admit I was a chronic case, and every new remedy I tried helped for a day or two-after that I was just as bad as ever. Three months ago I took my firs* taste of Kruschen Salts, and every morning since, and every morninf so long as I live, my first duty upoa rising is my Kruschen. I honestly feel a different woman. My bowels act to the clock, and my friends re-mark how well I am looking. My only regret is that I didn't try Kruschen years ago."--(Mrs.) A. M. Kruschen Salts is Nature's recipe for maintaining a condition of internal cleanliness. The six salt* ia Kruschen stimulate your intern*! organs to smooth, regular action-Your system is thus kept clear of those impurities which, allowed to accumulate, lower the whole tone of the system. In certain crops, the germination of the seed is checked and in some s completely ruined by contact commercial fertilizer. While this does not apply to wheat, oats and barley, it is not advisable to seed corn in contact. The fertilizer should be applied in bands about two inches to the iside and slightly below ■ level with the seed. In the case of peas, the fertilizer should be separated slightly from seed, preferably below the seed with one-half inch of soil between. Good results have been obtained with fertilizer or potatoes, both broadcast and in drill or row. It is recommended, however, to apply fertilizer in bandis at either side of the and level with, or slightly below the sets or seed. 6 MEN HAVE JOB KEEPING U.S. SENATORS' ENGLISH PURE WASHINGTON--When a senator says "Ain't"--and it appears some of them have been known to--it appears in the Congressional Record as "are not." Prettying up the grammar of the senators is one task of six of the best shorthand reporters in the nation,, who record the torrent of words in senatorial debate. The six reporters, headed by James W. Murphy and Percy E. Budlong, are only beginning their duties when they feverishly scratch pothooks in iheir notebooks. WitH an average experience of 25 ■ars behind them, they take 12-inute turns in note takeing on the Senate floor. Then they hasten to their headquarters in a room nearby and dictate the remarks they have just heard. [•' recordings of their dicta-played" slowly to a staff of its, who turn out rough drafts, quadruple-spaced to permit correction and interlining. Then the "reporter" becomes what newspapermen call a "copy reader". With pen and ink, he corrects typographical errors, grammatical slips, and "obvious" errors of fact. Walls of the room are lined with reference volumes which he consults frequently. He checks on the accuracy of poetical and Biblical quotations, proper names and dates, makes sure that the senator isn't quoted as saying something occurred in the Civil War when it actually occurred in the Revolutionary War. "We are especially careful of the names of towns and cities," Budlong explained. "A senator once used the town of Portal, Washington, in a speech. I made it Portland, and of course, there was a complaint. But in correcting and clarifying, the reporters are careful to preserve a senator's oratorical style. "For A Rainy Day" According to a despatch from Ottawa, the supply of the new Canadian silver dollar is not to be limit-A new output is to be minted immediately to meet the demand. The original issue of 100,000 coins early acquired by eager oiti-and the feeling has developed that the silver dollar would become collector^ coin. It seems that thousands of people who wish to retain souvenirs to mark special events exchanged ordinary ■rency for the silver coins with the intention of putting tham away as mementoes of the King's Silver Ju-. Countless others who do not yet possess the novelty will be pleased to learn that they will shortly ive the opportunity of doing so. Maybe it would be a good stunt r some of us to put a dollar aside or a rainy day." If we don't have ! money, to spend t, we can some time show but it our grandchildren as a lesson in British history, and Canadian thrift.--Border City Star. Learning "Hewho has no inclination to learn Jpc-re, will be kept to think he knows enough."--Powell. "The end of learning- is to know God."--Milton. "Academics of the right sort are requisite. It is the tangled barbarisms of learning which we deplore, -- the more dogma, the speculative theory, the nauseous fiction." --Mary Baker Eddy. "Learning is better worth than house or land."--Crabbe. "If you want learning you must work for it."--J. G. Holland. Dollars And Love MALCOLM ROSS Specialist. Scarborough. £ntf. City Life At Sea Pictures of the interior of the new French liner Normandie which will start on her maiden voyage to New York next month show that the apartments and public rooms look same as the apartments and public rooms of city dwellings and big hotels. The Normandie has penthouses, bowling alleys, gardens, church, theatre, shopping arcade, and, of course, several swimming " 5. The accommodation in the Queen Mary will be very similar. The directors of the French line :laim that city dwellers boarding the Normandie will not know difference in their mode of from being at home. There will be telephones in every room, elevators, a newspaper, stock market board room and everything else that could be thought of. All that is very wonderful, but n't it rather taking the pleasure out of an ocean voyage? Not to know you are at sea unless you look out of the window, or oyer the side, seems to destroy the value of being at sea at all. Probably it is becaue people like >to feel they are at sea that the medium-sized liners, which are not quite so much "citified," are full when the biggest ships are running with half or two-thirds of their suites and rooms booked.--St. Thomas Times-Journal. "Couple Who Haggles Over Money Not Much in Love," says Dorothy Dix. And we^suppose, a couple who spend too much time talking about their "love" will never have much Love may make happiness, takes beefsteak and bacon and and such like to get one into a frame of mind akin to their great accomplishment. There's not much love wasted on a man by a family If he doesn't supply them with the necessities of life.--Durham Chronicle. Street Car Speed Up Accidents Decreased Toronto--Despite a 12 per cent, increase in the travelling speed of street cars since the T.T.C. assumed control of the tramway system in 1921, the number of accidents involving street cars has been reduced by 44 per cent, since 1922, according to statistics published in the current issue of "The Coupler," T.T.C. news journal. A 10 per cent, reduction in any j the volume of accidents was effected during the past four years, it is shown by the survey, which is based on the number of accidents recorded per million car miles.

Issue No. 20--'35 U.S. Potato Tariff Not To Be Changed Washington--The Maine Congressional delegation was assured by President Roosevelt that the proposed Canadian trade agreement would contain no reduction in the present tariff potatoes. Jovernor Louis Brann, who conferred with the President together ith the enure Maine delegation and with five spokesmen for the Maine textile interests, said their entire conference was devoted to discussion of the proposed Canadian treaty. He would not say if the President had made any statements regarding tariffs on products other than on potatoes.
