Joth countries now permit tour- ists to {ake home with them goods to the value of $100. The Canadian regulations, however, are worse re- strictive and for this reason the United States is considering certain It is considered "unlikely that United States tourists will be _permitted to: take back as large a number of cigarets as at present, Tightening up on the regulations with respect to diamonds, which can be obtained in Canada at less cost, is also expected. Ag yet there is no suggestion, how- , ever, that the United States will im- pose such strict reulations as. Canada - has, with respect to what constitutes a bona fide tourist. The Dunning budget provides that a person can only qualify as'a tourist once every four months and must be in the United States at least 48 hours, Meri Are Better at Home Economics Than Women Are DE PEW, N.Y. -- Mrs. Margaret Metzger, who teaches cooking and ome economics to 19 men and boys, "that men make better students women, - [en bring 'a scientific viewpoint -to the kitchen," Mrs.' Metzger said.

Se 'A blend of the world's most fragrant green teas GREEN TEA Child is R With A lily will sometimes grow in a barnyard and ivy has been found in a castle garden. Such exceptions are true of human beings too. Oec- casionally we find a child of rare beauty and grace living in the low- est type of home; and its veverse, the tough little hoodlum in the midst of culture and refinement who defies every attempt to make a gentleman of him, But as a rule the child is rubber- stamped with his home life. Whether parents are conscious of it or not, their children are out in the world telling "the complete story of their every word and act. If parents are gracious and kindly to their neighbors, small Joan or Peter will possess the same earmarks of culture. It happens that culture is not made up of the newest type of of courtesy. We often mistake the symptoms-for the real thing. There is nothing to good-breeding if it is not built fundamentally on gracious- ness to others. IMITATION FACES EXPOSURE It is common for parents to think that home life will rub off, if it has been a casual sort of -thing, a med- ley of quarrels, carelessness. and dis- order; to take it for granted that Peter will be polishe: off in college and by mixing with gentlemen; or that Joan can camouflage her innate rudeness by learning to imitate the gentler girls with whom she is thrown. . While such things do have their eTect, what is bred in the bone will tell. It is the easiest matter in tne world to detect the spurious, and the veneer invariably wears thin when one is off guard or laboring under excitement. Also, unless kindness is first and not second nature, sel- fishness continues to be the invari- There are other requisites of good breeding, of course, besides courtesy and kindness. i PLEASANT HOME LIFE Tolerance toward others, sports- manship, neatness of person, a cer- tain reserve of speech, ability to keep confidences, to eridure small upsets without verbal complaint. These and many other traits ot like kind- are. _ characteristic of the thoroughbred. z candle-sticks or roses ina vase, but er-Stamped is Home Life If Parents Are Gracious, Kindly and Tolerant Little Folks Will Possess These Qualities If you wculd have your children grow up to be real gentlemen.and ladies, dear mother and father, it would be wise not to allow the daily examples of home life to spoil their chances for the future. It is wise to keep close watch on _the ongue, and to control temper. If the child sees his parents in battles of uncon- trolled fury, it gives him a sense of right in repeating it 'himself. "Show me the child and I will have a portrait of the parents," has been uttered by more than one wise man. Those -who- hope their off- spring may outshine the old folks are doomed to disappointment: if they have neglected the first offices of | the moulding process. As everything else, prevention is better than cure. Diphtheria in Toronto Comments the Toronto - Star: In Toronto, diphtheria's ravages were reduced from 1,022 cases and 64 deaths in 1929 to 22 cases and no deaths at all in 1934. This was a re- cord which, undér present circum- stances, the city could not expect to duplicate, and in 1935 there were 46 cases and 8 deaths, an insignificant number. when compared with the re- cord of 1929 and earlier years, be- fore toxoiding of the city's children was undertaken. ' It is the toxoiding of children which has wrought the change. Since 1929, 125,000 have heen given this diphtheria-preventing treatment. It is. not absolutely certain in every case, but. results seem to indicate that the claim made for it--95 per cent. efficiency--is more than justified. Its success is such that no parents can afford to leave their children unpro- tected when such a simple treatment is available. The regrettable fact is that many parents "have neglected this simple precaution. Of 100,000 Toronto chil- dren between 6 and 14, about 35,000 were said. recently to be without im- munization. And of 50,000 pre-school children 30,000 had not {been treated. These 65,000 little folk are the nucleus of a possibly sorious epide- mic. : To Original Shareholders of Pickle Crow & Central Patricia and to others who. 5 may. be interested Pickle Crow Shares sold in 1934 at 50c.

The Treasure of Elba Efforts to salvage the "Treasure of Elba"--a mysterious cargo "be- lieved to have been sunk off Elba in the time of Napoleon -- are to be made shortly by the Italian sal- vage ship Artiglio.

Baby Food Combinations of Vegetables and Fruits Are FavBred When baby's solid food diet con- sists of just two or three teaspoons- ful of vegetables a day, it's really quite a problem for mothers to get much variety into his meals, > Unfortunately it isn't practical to prepare just a few teaspoons of car- rots one day, a few tablespoons of spinach the next. And the result in most homes is that baby gets the same vegetables day after day, or that you are forced to the extrava- gant practice of throwing away per- fectly good foods. What most mothers haven't real- ized until recently is that this lack of variety in baby's diet may lead to imperfect nutrition. No single veget- able or fruit contains all the minerals and vitamins that babies need. In view of this fact, the recent intro- duction of solid foods for baby in combinations is quickly winning the approval of leading doctors every- where, Three combinations of vegetables are offered. Spinach, carrots and peas are included in one; tomatoes, pumpkin and string beans in an- other; and beets, péas and asparagus tips in a third. There is also a com- bination of prunes, pineapple juice and lemon juice. All of these combinations of baby foods were recommended by leading baby specialists to provide a diet of balanced nutritional values, and all are prepared hy a special method of homogenization which makes them far easier to digest and much more nourishing than the same foods pre- pared by sieve straining, Perhaps some inspired Burbank of the future will succeed in growing a single vegetable or fruit that fur- nishes all the vitamins, minerals and other food essentials needed to satis- fy normal nutritional requirements. But in the meantime, mothers can solve the problem by feeding baby homogenized foods in balanced com- binations .

Toronto Issue No. 21 -- '36 40 AFTER EVERY MEAL ; Two persons were killed and six- teen injured in automobile accidents on. Western Ontario highways 'over the week-end. - Pi That is a pretty good record con sidering the fact that spring has scarcely come to Western Ontario yet. When warmer weather comes und 'cars get really going on the highways, if that rate is maintained, we may look forward to an eventful summer. One of the fatalities was the old story of a man driving a horse ve hicle after dark without carrying a light. The other was the still older story of trying to beat a locomotive over a level crossing. The injures received, most of them very serious, were from the usual run'of accidents--too, much speed to hold control; passing on a hill, head- Motoring Under the Alps "It will be possible to motor under the Alps, between Switzerland and Italy through the famous Simpion tunnel, if plans submitted to the Swiss Federal Railway authorities are carried out. i The plans are for the establish- ment. of a motor road through one of the' two railway tunnels.

Neither will many, -others. This week-end many more "will go to the hospital and a few more will go to the cemetery. And next week-end it will be the same.
