That may be an exaggeration; but certain it is that most men, in this year of "grace" 1935, do prefer a slender, winsome girl. After all, can you blame them? Fortunately, there is a simple and a safe recipe which assists towards that much-desired slim and attractive figure. The recipe is:-- Every morning take one half-teaspoon of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water before breakfast.

GIFF BAKER 39 LEE AVENUE TORONTO On April 15th Last, 10,320,-000 Insured Persons Between 14 and 64 Years of Age Regularly In Employment. LONDON,--Latest official returns on the increase of employment among venters belonging to what is known as the--"insurable category" offers heartening support of the Rt. Hon. Neville Chamberlain's Budget declaration that Britain has regained 80 per cent, of her oldtime prosperity, and strengthens the feeling of optimism that is steadily .spreading throughout the country, writes J. E. Poole, Montreal Star Resident Correspondent. Report of the Ministry of Labor states that it is estimated that on April 15th there were approximately 10,320,000 insured persons between the ages of 14 years and 64 years in employment, the highest figure recorded during the period of 14 years for which comparable figures are available. shows, morover, that of the 2,-044,460 workers registered as unemployed at the date mentioned, out of the 1,729,024 individuals on the regis-who applied for benefit or unemployment allowances about 51 per cent had been idle less than three months; others less than six months, and only 22 per cent had been without work for a year. In other words the so-called "hard core" of unemployed numbers in reality something - "e neighborhood of 790,000 individuals. Again, of these, it is usually estimated there is an employabh class of between 300,000 and 450,000 insurables has increased in ratio, say by 95,000. If, as I have been assured in reliable quarters, the non-insurable workers have been absorbed into industry at much the same ratio as the insurables, it is not unduly optimistic to assume that the number of actual workers redeemed from idleness is even greater than the 10,320,000 record announced by the Ministry in this week's state-There is, in addition, another feature of the situation, which may make for betterment in the immediate future, though causing some uneasiness in perspective, and that is, the decline in the national birthrate. The war-period increase in the birthrate was naturally accompanied ,n increase in the latter years of the decade of the yearly irruption into industry of youths and women leaving school, but the apex of this ement dating from the basic year 1919 was passed in 1930 and It d be expected that this annual exodus into an already overcrowded labor market of from 300,000 to 400,-individuals will steadily decrease. Many Good Records Made By Shorthorns order to obtain of conditions here it to that other gory of workers, those who do not come within the scope of the unemployment measure. While, as far as i ascertain, there are no statistics dealing with these people as a definite classification, the 1931 census ffers basic figures from which to ork. In 1931 the census showed that there were slightly more than 21,-000,000 people in Britain "gainfully occupied" as the official report quaintly puts it--viz., employed for wages or similar consideration--and of these some g.SQO.OOO were not member^ of the insurable class of workers that is more than 50 per cent of the workers are not covered in the statistics issued by the Ministry of Labor. INCREASED BY 190,000 Since the 1931 census the ranks of the insurables has been increased by 190,000 workers and, it is reasonable to assume that the numbers of non- ica in Cooperation, no other country or countries in the world would attempt to disturb the peace of the world." --Viscount Hailsham.

In the 365-day division,- mature records average 9,649 pounds milk. 390 pounds fat; 4-year-old, 8,125 lbs. milk, 328 lbs. fat; 3-year-old, 7,766 lbs. milk, 308 lbs. fat; and 3-year-old, 6,954 lbs. milk, 277 lbs. fat. The high mature record for the period was made by Northlynd Matchless 7th (George Jackson & Son, Downsview), 15,6884 lbs. milk, 673 lbs. fat. Next to her cc White Blossom (M .J. Scobie, goode Station), 14,012 lbs. milk, 529 lbs. fat. These are the two out-standing records of the year to date, but the 3-year-old record of Northlynd Matchless 11th (Geo. Jackson & son), 13,007 lbs. milk, 510 lbs. fat, is worthy of special mention. The same owners qualified Northlynd Jean 14th with 9,230 lbs. milk, 337 lbs. fat, but Wild Rose (G. K. Allon-by, Keoma, Alberta), 8,965 lbs. milk, 366 lbs. fat, leads the 2-year-olds in fat production. In the 305-day division, mature records average 8,455 lbs. milk, 336 lbs. fat; 4-year-old, 7,879 lbs. milk, 321 lbs. fat; 3-year-old, 6,103 lbs. milk, 249 lbs. fat; and 2-year-old, 5,642 lbs. milk, 234 lbs. fat. The high milk record in this div-ion was made by Weldwood May Chieftain (William Weid Co., London), 11,794 lbs. milk, 418 lbs. fat. In fat production, however, the lead is taken by Cossar Dairymaid (George Cossar, Lower Gagetown, N.B.), 11,130 lbs. milk, 464 lbs. fat. ds going to school on cession used to catch grasshoppers for the purpose "making them spit,"'but apart for that there was no interest in them.

He informed us ^iere were places in the West where already there were reliable reports of grasshopper eggs being eaten by some unknown insect. His concluding remark was "I was born and brought up in Huron County, and lived there until I was 32 years of age, and the truth is I never knew anything about grasshoppers until the last few years in the West. Think of it -- they can utterly destroy all the crops on a farm and leave the farmer nothing but what may be growing ui tlerground. --Straford Beacon-Herald A Good Time To Raise A Foal According to the Dominion Animal Husbandman there is at present a definite scarcity of good, fresh, young horses for farm and city work and an increasing demand for them at fairly remunerative and generally increasing prices. Since it takes four or five years to breed, raise and develop a horse to marketable age, it wili be sjjme time before 'he demand can be satisfied, therefore present prices may be expected to hold or even improve for a number of years. It would seem, therefore, that it would be a profitable venture for any farmer who has a reasonably good draft brood mare, that he can spare from heavy work, to breed her and raise a foal. If you a Ottawa--Just as Garnet wheat about to be graded separately from other varieties of Canadian wheat, its popularity both with gro\ millers is increasing, officials of the Dominion department of agriculture have been informed. Following a long controversy Canada Grain Act was amendi year ago to provide for separate grades for Garnet and the new gulations come into effect this There is much speculation as to price Garnet wheat will command, but no doubt of the popularity of this early-ripening, high-yielding wheat from the northern part of the prairie provinces. Western grain companies reported they could place 10 cars more of pure Garnet seed wheat than are available with Western farmers this spring. Part of this demand is attributed to the government's crop-testing plan which has now been in operation four years and is showing farmers the desirability of having wheat of a pure strain suited to local conditions ' wder-to command the highest prices. British millers also are showing an interest in Garnet wheat, provided they can obtain it free from a mixture of other strains. It requires special treatment and may be used in blending with other types of wheat to produce a satisfactory flour. The department will have more than 20,000 crop-testing stations in operation this year in conjunction with elevator companies. These operate at practically no cost to the government and have proved a tremend- "But the Englishman's traditional ■e of the horse triumphs over 'the chine. Mere people are riding than ever before.

Farm Shorts According to the live stock survey as at December 1, 1934, the number of hens and chickens of farms in Canada was 46,487,230. Milch cows in Canada increased in numbers from 3,659,200 head of December 1, 1933, to 3,847,400 of December 1, 1934, or 5.1 per cent. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1935, 198,916 boxes, of about 14,925,120 pounds, of Canadian dressed poultry were inspected for export and local and interprovincial shipment under the supervision of the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. This was an increase in shipments over the 1933-34 flstai year of 73,331 boxes or about 5,133,170 pounds. As with other crops, the surface joil of the rose bed should be kept loose by frequent shallow hoeing or raking. This practice not only keeps down .weeds but allows the air to enter the goil and conserves moisture. Horse Is Loved In Old England London--In 10 years there has been decline of 67 per cent, in the number of horses drawing trade vehicles the United Kingdom, while horses used for agricultural purposes have decreased by 13 per cent., according to the Army Council's census. The total number of horses in the country has fallen by more than 600,000 in the decade. 'This does not mean that in this country the horse is doomed to early extinction," says the News-Chronicle editorially. "The chief decrease is in draught animals, which are giving way everywhere to the motor-van. But there is no falling off in riding horses and hunters over 15 hands, and the number of thoroughbreds has actually increased. In a mechani-ized age little roo draught horses.
