Taylor. | Ii Canada Is ite Champion Egg Consuming Country Canada is now the champion egg sorsuming country of the world for the veason that confidence has been tablished in the consumer through. the grading of eggs. This system of grading is standsrdized in a na- tion wide way, weizut of eggs being intiuded in the grade: This grading of eggs for inferior quality is the natural evolution from candling---tne simyle process by which the quality of an egg is determined by being held up to a strong electric light in place of a candle as in the.earlier days. Grading has developed into a stand- ardization of grades and the estab- lishment of Canadian Standards for vogs 0s they function under the Can- ndian Egg Regulations. In this way the question of egg Quality, which -t sre time was an unknown quantity until the egg was broken open, has been lifted from the slough of uncer- tuinty and placed on the pedestal of ve tainty, resulting in an almost pre- nominal increase in the consumption of exes in Canada during the past de- cude. The new grades "Al "A" 'B," and "C," recently issued oy 'he Dotainion Departuient of Agriculture, have been hailed with universal satis- faction as affording further protec tion to both producers and consumers alike, Each grade indicates a certain known definite quality which an egg must possess to qualify for the grade ir which it is placed. This is the con- sumer's asurance of certainty as to quality. Tells How to Avoid Fumigation Deaths Shenker Declares Warning Element Needed Montreal. -- Proper application of fumigating gasses containing a-warn- _ ing constituent, such as "tear gas," or other unbearable but harmless ele ment is essential to safeguard public health, and lack of such an ingredient in germ killlng gases {is a constant threat to human life, A. R. White, chief sanitary inspector, Canadian Na- tional Railways, toid members of the Province of Quebec Safety League here, ieneration of lethal gases for sub: jection of verinin and disease germs was necessary, Mr. White stated, but at the same time he regretted lack of regulation in the sale of certain chemi- cals, which could be bought by any- body in quantiiies sufficient to kill peo- ple wholesale, During the past three vears there has been a number of deaths in the United States and Can- ada resulting from fumigation work performed by people who were not suf- fie ieutly trained from a chemical point of view, he said. There was no need for i of human life as there were fumigating chemicals available con- taining the warning ingredient which made it. impossible for anyone to stay in the atmospliere- so charged, this type of gas having been used in the railways for years, he added. "What is needed now," Mr. White stated, "is legislation to provide for supervision and regulation of firms and individuals praclising fumigation work." me Gems from Life's Scrap-book Meditation "Sieditation is the tongue of the gon) and the language of our spirit," --Jeremy Taylor.

Observes the Vancouver Sun: "The story about the country lad who wert to the city, workea hard to niake money, and finally returned rich ty his old home town to enjoy a peace- 'ful o'd age is one of the most popular tales that ever gets told. "Its plot takes an ironic new twist, sewever, in the adventures of John MeKinstry of Ireland. ""McKinstry left Ireland for New York years ago to make his fortune. "The jobs he got in New York were 'nothing much, but he worked hard and saved money; and this year, after 50 years of toil, with upward of $25,00) saved, he returned to Ireland to go back to the scenes of his youth and enjoy life. "But things had changed in those 50 years. The town didn't look the same, His old friends and relatives were gone. "Nobody knew him, nobody even re- membered his name, nobody could tell him anything about his family. In- stead of returning to a pleasant Idf{: age, he found that he-had come back to lonaliness and disappointmént. "The shock made him ill. He spent weeks in a hospital, and on his recov- ery he said he was going to head back to New York. "His home town meant nothing to nim and his money. meant nothing. *"He had scraped and slaved all his life for .aothing. "The, whole pathetic little story is a sprdos ic sort of warning for youth- ful ambition. "All of us. at one time or another, get an .idea similar to the one about which McKinstry built his life; the icea that we shall deny ourselves this, -- vouth and middle age so that, when the end of life approaches, we can take things easy and enjoy the good things we missed when we were younger. "But the man who does it runs the hance of discovering, too late, that putting off enjoyment too long is apt t¢ mean missing it altogether. "Save your good times for your old age and you are gambling with time. "Happiness is the most elusiv: thing anyone can seek. "Unless we learn how to get our share of it in day-to-day. living, we run the chance of missing it alto- gether." {7 eee. 'e Moated Castle as Convent School For Women Missionaries A religious community known as the Sister Servants of the Holy Ghost, has established its first centre in England. in the historic moated castle at Coverswall, near Stoke-on-Trent, The Castle, which has been empty for two years and was about to be de- molished and its fine oak panelling sold, was bought by the community, which is of Dutch origin and has for its object the co-operation with priests in the evangelization of pagan peoples, It is to be used for the training of women for the propagation of Chris- tianity in the British Indies, The order is 2,000 strong, and -at present the only English member Sister Winnifred, who is Lancashire born. ' The sisters are at present running their own farm of 24 acres. Their object is to make themselves a self- supparting. community as far as pos- sible, A number of them are trained nurses, and it is intended to establish a nursing home at the castle. The outbuildings are to be converted into a retreat for the laity in North Staf- fordshire. The fourteenth-century stronghold built by William de Coverswall, a knight of the days of Edward II, was preserved in plan and outline by tire builder of the present castle, Matthew Craddork, a wool merchant of Stafford.

Jean coaxeés him to go to Paris, On the Paris road Jean finds a string of pearls. Euan snatches the case from her and the car crashes, The accident is dis- covered by Jerry Grant, whom Jean had met the night efore "with his friend Yan Washurn, Jerry takes her back to his hostess, Helen Gorst, On learn ing: of. Euan's disappearance, Doreen Winton behaves in a strange inanner, CHAPTER VI, "Geoffrey, what d'you mean by say- ing that Jean is hurt and you don't know where Euan is? Are you trying to-tell me that he's dead?" "Doreen--" More and more surpris- ed, Winton pushed up a chair behind his wife, "Why don't you sit down? I didn't think you--" "Oh. keep still," she gasped, adding rather frantically: "Answer me! Is Euan--7?" Evidently she could not repeat the word, for she sat down . nd made a nervous dispersing gesture with her hands. Winton's mind worked slowly, and often he was late jn seeting a point, but he was beginning at last to think his wife's agitation the least bit odd. Watching her closely, he replied: "I tell you I don't know about Gra- ham. He w as hot there when Grant found the car. "Not Fi Her hand went quics- ly to her heart, and she stared at him aghast, "But they started from here together. Euan told me that they were going right through." "Quite." Winton was getting angry, very angry, for suspicion was eating into|- "his niind like acid. Stepping over to Doreen he grasped her wrist and star- ing down into her frightened eyes, he demanded: "What was Gr A to you?" "Geoffrey, you're hurting my w ifst, n "Answer me!" "Nothing." "That's not true." "It is. Oh!" . Again he was struck by the. pallor of her face. The patches of rouge stood out upon it like smears of red chalk on a white wall, and her scarlet 'lips were drawn into a hard line to steady their trembling. © Doubt and concern fought within him. . She look- ed fearfully upset, and he. could not help wondering why. Had there oeen any reason for it he would have said that she was frightened. "Suddenly he shot at her: Graham your lover?" - "Geoffrey!" She glared at_ "him scornfully. "Really you make me sick." Rising, she moved unsteadily towards the house, rubbing her wrist where his fingers had held her. * &* * Ed Leaning back in her chair, Helen Gorst wondered what was wrong with this day. A few hours ago she had Been peacefully picking flowers in her garden, pottering in it as she loved to do, moving slowly in the sunshine com- pletely at peace with the world, except for feeling sorry that the nice Graham gir] had gone. She had so admived her loyalty to that hopeless brother of hers, and very much wished that Jean could have paid her a visit before go- ing 'home. And here was her wish fulfilled, but how tragically, Sha thought of the girl upstairs and It was strange. But sce- ing Geoffrey Winton crossing the gar- den towards her. Helen wavegl, "Come to enquire?" she asked. "Er--yes," he stammered, uncom- fortably aware that he had not given Jean Graham a thought since ke had geen his wife. "How is she?" "Conscious now, Not very happy, "Was of course, but as well as. may be ex- pected." "Oh. brother?" Mrs. Gorst shrugged her shoulders. "I've heard nothing, Jerry went off with the police to show them the place where he found Jean. I'm expecting him back at any moment." "Oh" Helen looked sharply at Yor visitor. "What's the matter, Geoffrey?" Winston moved restlessly and jerk- ed unconvincingly, "Nothing specially." Helen raised her eyebrows, but said, "Have a cigarette." "Thanks." Winton helped himself, then as if he could not help it, blurted out: "I told Doreen and she was terribly upset. Can't make it out." "Oh," Helen thought it strange, too, but she commented: "It's only na- tural, After all, they were Ler guests," "What d'you think happened?" he asked suddenly. "I can't imagine, It looks ag if Jean were driving and yet--'" She broke off helplessly. "Graham was at the wheel when they left us," Winton asserted, "It geems queer that Grant did not see, him." "A gmile of quiet amusement lit up Helen's pleasant face, "I think he was too--too much eon- cerned at Jean's condition to bother much. "n = "Um. Hullo, here he is"? Both looked up as rather breathless. Is Grant hurried towards them, " "How is she?" the young man 0 asks And--er-- what ui "the ed immediately, Helen repeated hat she had said to. Winton, "Now tell me," she added. "What dit you learn from the police?" Grant sat down, "The smash had already been re- ported when I got there. They made an examination, wrote notes about it and all that, then we came ack." "Yes, but what of the brother?" Winton insisted, Grant shook his head, "The police say that he could not have been there. Miss Graham must have been driving hers lf," ~ © "But she wasn't," Winton exploded. Lis face becoming scarlet as he, glared at Grant. Watching them, Helen wondered what was wrong with Geof- frey. But she said calmly: "Jean's first conscious words were of her brother." "You mean that he was asked both men together, Heler. nodded, : "I haven't told her that Euan is missing, of course." Grant stared blankly. Then after a moment's thought, 'he said: "Mrs. Gorst, don't you think the police should be informed that Gra- ham really was there?" Helen agreed that she must take im- .nediate steps. "I can't believe that he has really disappeared. It's too absurd," she said. "Still, I wonder if you would come with me to the Prefecture?" "Ratker!" « Grant sprang up, say- ing urgently: "We must waste no time!" N there?" CHAPTER VIL Three days passed and still there was no news" of the whereabouts of Euan Graham, Alllm.nner of enquir- ies were made by the police, who had been astonished, although convinced, b Helen Gorst's statement--corrobor- ited later that evening by Geoffrey Winton--that Euan had been in the car when they had started out. "It would seem M, Graham was res- cued by some persons at present un- known and he will be located in a hos- pital or a villa, We will find him very soon, have no doubt, Madame," the Commissary "had assured them confi- dently. . That seemed reasonable, even likely to Helen, but Grant had objected. "Why should they have taken Mr. Graham and left Mademoiselle?" "Ah--" The Frenchman's shoul- ders m.unted up to his ears and he spread out his hands in a typically Latin gesture. "Who can tell?" Helen found herself sorely perturb- ed. It was all so incomprehensible' How could Euan' have disappeared? It was useless, however: even to think about it. Everything possible was be- ing done and she could only wait and Hope. Meanwhile she was busy, for the accident had been reported in the Press and there were muny enquiries from acquaintances and the merely curious; also many offerings of flow- ers, One of the finest of these bore the name of Baron Max de Laurier, which puzzled Helen not a little; for although Jean had not been expansive|. about those whom 'she had met at the Wintons, Helen knew that she had not liked him, In the afternoon, Doreen strolled in, taking Helen unawares as she sat at her table writing to cancel several engagements which she had more for the coming weék. She was as usual somewhat exaggeratedly dressed, and Helen. fancied that she looked as if she had passed a sleepless night. "My dear! What a time-you're hav- ing," she said in her harsh drawl. "I hope you didn't mind my keeping Jean?" asked Helen smiling inwardly because she was sure that there was| nothing that Doreen Winton would dislike more than to have a sick girl in the house. "Of course not. I think it too mar- vellous of you. May I have a cig.?" . "Do." Helen passed the box, re marking: "I am very fond of Jean." "By the way--" Doreen paused to light her cigarette-- 'Has anything been heard of Euan?" The words were just too carelessly spoken, Helen thought, then immedi- ately told herself not to be ridiculous. If perchance Doreen and the boy had been more than friends it was none of her business. : "Nothing; the . police are still searching. You have no idea what might have happened, I suppose?" "I?" Laughing harshly, Doreen rais- ed her eyebrows, "Of course I haven't. The police came up and asked us a' thousand and one questions this morn- ing, as 'if we could know anything." ""Well, it's natural, as you were the last person to see them. By the way, you don't know if they stopped any- where in Monte after leaving you?" "No. The police asked us that. Hasn't Jean said anything?" "No. She's hardly spoken yet." Doreen gave her a look which she could not intérpret, then abruptly ¢hanged the subject, "My dear, I nearly forgot! Will you come over and dine tomorrow? The 'wyns are coming: and they'd "love to see you again." Helen declined, saying that. she would not be going out until Jean was | better, "ISSUE No. 47--'33 $99 up. -- ------ Please mall a complete list now offering.
