Before taking Kruschen 1 was seldom free from a headache, But since I have been tak. ing it regularly 1 have hardly had a" headache, for which I am very thank- ful. I have been taking a small dose: of Kruschen every morning in a glass of warm water, before my breakfast, and 1 feel so well."--(Mrs.) AED. How do you deal with headaches? Do you just take something to deaden the pain, without getting rid of. the trouble which causes the pain? Headaches can generally be traced to a disordered stomach and to the unsuspected retention in the sysfem of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. Remove these pol- sons--prevent them forming again-- and you'll never have to worry any more--f{rom that cause. And that is just how Kruschen Salts bring swift and lasting relief from headaches. Kruschen alds Nature to cleanse your body completely of clogging waste matter. The poor souls who take unto them- selves the worries of other people cannot find much pleasure in lite.

Husband (who was patiently wait ing in the hall) -- "Why do you go to all that trouble?" Mrs. Briggs (shrugging her shoul: der and smiling) -- "Modesty, my dear Henry." Husband (ejaculating) -- '"Modes- fy? Mrs. Briggs -- "Yes, I've no desire to shine-in public." Manager -- "What's the matter, Jenkins? Can't you serve this good customer?"

Ontario will spend $14,000,000" on 'highway construction in the 1938-39 fiscal year, Premier Hepburn informed the Legislature at Queen's Park, To- ronto, in his budget address. The pro- posed expendfturs compared with $35, 000,000 last year. y Added highway safety will be the slogan, with engineers instructed to satisfy themselves the finished road is as nearly fool-proof as possible. The Government visions the day when the main arteries of the system will be in the nature of the super-highway, eiim- inating incident of accident. Completing the Gaps Special, consideration will Le given to completing gaps in the hizhway system. Typical of this is the middle road, modern" Toronto-Hamilton high- way, which must be carried into To- ronto so congestion will not apply either on the road or in the city where contacts are made, In Northern Ontario last year the Government constructed 70 miles of new pavement, a greater length than had beéhr completed in all the years from 1920, It prepared 175 miles of grading ready for surfacing this year. Pavement construction . in Southern Ontario totalled 264 miles and 75 miles of grade were finished, most of which permits dual highway development this year. Larger Tourist Business Seen In Coming Season -- Unsettled Europe to Lose and Can- ada Gain" Despite the economic recession in the United States and Canada, the Canadian Travel Bureau of the Trans: port Department expects the tourist trafiic will be as large this year as last when it was estimated visitors to the Dominion spent $295,000,000. In 1936 255,000,- 000 to Canada. Inquiries to the bureau from United States residents between November 30 and March 20 totaled 17,000 compared with 14,000 for the corresponding per- fod a_year ago. This would indicate, travel official: declare, that the tovrist business this year would at least hold its own. In addition requests from re- soit and travel bureaux, automobile clubs and transportation companies for literature about Canada {is the largest since the travel bureau was established here in 1934. Visit Canada Instead The danger of war in Europe is off- getting the hard times In United States. Many who normally would have crossed the Atlantic this summer will visit Canada instead and many travel organizations in the Eastern States accordingly are concentrating on directing tourists to New England and the Maritime Provinces. Other bureaux in the Middle West are fol- lowing the example and directing trip- pers to other parts of Canada. Canada is also going after the tour- ist business from the United King- dom, Transport Minister Home an- -nounced.. An advertising campaign has been started there to encourage Britons go come to Canada for thelr holidays. World's Greatest Tourists The tourist business Is not all one way. Canadians; per capita, are claimed to be the greatest tourists in the world. They spent in other coun- tries last year 123,000,000, of which about $120,000,000 was in the United" States. This works out at more than $10 a head. If the $295,000,000 spent by Americans in Canada were divided among the entire population of United States it would average less than $2.90 a head. Eire to Build = + Large Airport MANCHESTER, Eng. -- The Gov- ernment of Eire will spend £600,000 ($2,600,000) to build an airport near the mouth of the River Shannon to facilitate trans-Atlantic alr service, the 'Manchester Guardian said last week, following the conclusion of a three-day conference at Dublin on. such-service, ) Commander C. P. Edwards repre- sented Canada at the conference, at- tended also by delegates from Great Britain, Ireland and the United States. Two companies, one representing the United States and the other join- ing Canadian, British and Irish capi- tal, alone will be permitted to use Irish airports, the newspaper said, FREE FOLDERS TELL HOW NATURAL MINERAL PHOSPHATES Improves Yield and Quality of all Crops For full details write Dept.

Declaving the Pacific Ocean a source of raw material for numerous poten- tial industries, two University of Washington natural scientists reverse the common idea of the ocean being merely a means of transportaticn and orizin of foods. Recovery of common salt from the ocean is one of the oldest of all chem: ical industries, reminds Dr, Thomas (. Thompson and Dr. Rex J. Robinson of the Oceanographic Laboratories at the University. But ethyl gasoline, and magnesium compounds used ex- tensively in cosmetics and chemistry is a recent and complex process, they state, Technical Difficultics Overcome The professors described the plant of an eastern chemical company' at Cape Fear, N.C., where 135,000 pounds of bromine is extracted daily from the sea. When fit is realized a gallon of sea water contains less than one one-hundredth of an ounce of bro- mine, {it is possible to see that the process Is a triumph of applied diffi culties which were overcome. In San Francisco, another company is recovering approximately 16,000 lbs. of magnesium compounds of marked purity from the sea daily. A gallon of sea water contains less than two- tenths of an ounce of magnesium. _ Although there has been consider- able talk and some reséhreh on recov- ering free gold from sea water, neith- er Dr. Thompson nor Dr. Robinson viewed such an accomplishment as of commercial importance in the near future. They based their statement on recent analysis of waters of Puget "Sound for gold. -- GARDENING SPACING In planting: shrubbery, a cood gen- eral rule. to follow is to allow about half as much space between plants as the height of those plants when fully grown. This will mean that the ordinary Spirea Van Houtef, for in- stance, a shrub about ¢ to 7 feet in height at maturity in most parts of the Dominion, should have at least three fcet between it and a neighbor. The rule holds good for most- things from eight feet down to a few inches, and it particularly applies to planting about foundations. Very often shrubbery is placed very much too close to the house wall or fence with the result that the full, beautiful symmetry of the bush is not attained. The rule about spacing does not hold good for large trees, however, which can be placed much closer to- gether for clump or background ef- fect but must not be permitted to shade the ground entirely if grass or flowers are to be grown underneath, FIRST PLANTINGS Leaf lettuce, radish, spinach and the first of the garden peas will be among the earliest vegetables sown. 'I'hese may be planted as soon as the ground is fit to work. All of the first named seeds should be sown at least three times at intervals of ten davs so that there will be succession of vegetables. The second group to go in will be car-~ rots, beets, onion, potatoes, ete. that can stand a little frost, and then the beans, corn and tomato, cabbage and cauliflower plants, ete, which kill with frost, and finally those hot wea- ther vegetables like lima beans, the squash well started, egg and pepper plants, cucumbers, melons and simi- lar things. All garden rules, it should "be remembered, however, are only ap- proximate and should be varled a little to suit the local climate and in- dividual preference. "Big Head" Census Is Scientists Aim WASHINGTON.--The Smithsoni- an Institution wants to take a cen- sus of the nation's bigheads. Believing that the "thinking mus- cles" of the brain develop like mus- cles of the arms and legs, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, Smithsonian anthropolo- gist, sent out a call last week for re- ports from any man or woman who has noticed a recent increase in head size, Following a recent appeal through a scientific journal, Dr, Hrdlicka received reports from 20 scientists that their heads had grown. There is evidence, he said, that the heads of persons doing intense mental ex- ercise increase more rapidly thdn others.

"FINE CUT: + a0 When The Corpse - Slapped His Face A good number of 'people have been hanged and lived to tell the tale, folk-lore would have us believe. The case of William Duell is a strange one. On the morning of No- vember 24th, 1870, he swung from the Tyburn scaffold, London, Iing- land, for twenty-two minutes. Then a representative from the Surgcons' Company asked to be allowed to cut the body down and take it away for dissection. Work on the body was just commencing when the dead man groaned, and raised himself up on his elbow! Messages were sent to the Sherifls who, arrived to take the boy away and hang him 2e-ain, but a huge crowd hod formed outsile the hall and, fooling that (ke ber had been saved by Providence, rovghly handled the officers of the law.

Switzerland now has four official languages instead .of three, following the recent majority approval of the Romansh tongue in a popular refer- endum. ! This ancient tongue is spoken by a linguistic group of about 45,000, re- siding in the Grison Canton, or ap- proximately 1 per cent. of the total population of Switzerland. Officially Recognized Official recognition of the langu- age--in addition to French, German and Italian--introduces its use in Government documents pertaining to this section of the country, in the public schools, churches, and on trains passing through the region. Such a step has long been the sub- ject of a struggle by supporters of the Romansh tongue, who contended that, since Swiss public opinion has never thought in terms of linguistic unity, it had as much right to recog- nition as any of the other three lan- guages in official use. Romansh dates back to the Roman Empire, and is considered to have the same root as French, Italian and Spanish. Although it is also spoken in parts of the Italian Tyrol, the use of Romansh there has been discour- teed by the Italian Government, 71 Per Cent. Speak German Switzerland strikes a sharp con- trast with mations where minorities consider themselves subject to diffi- sult conditions. Here T1 per cent. of the people speak German, 22 per cent, French, 6 per cent. Italian and 1 per cent.- Romansh, However, a strict.line is drawn between the lin- gual districts, and no thought is giv- en to imposing one language upon another locality. Extremely Rare . oe, ® Bible Editions Priceless Volumes Are Found In England I'nglish Bibles of extreme rarity, treasures of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. Cathedral, have been placed on exhibition in the Cathedral library for public view fill Michael mas. The exhibition illustrates the early attempts to print the Scriptures in the common tongue, and commemor- ates the fourth centenary" of the royal injunction of 1788 that a copy of the Bible in Linglish should be set up in every church. This gave State recognition to the Reformation in I'ngland, Unfortunately the actual Bible used in the Cathedral services fol- lowing the royal injunction no longer exists, having been destroyed in the Great Fire of London; but the col- lection contains a similar volume. Publicly Burnt One exhibit of pathetic interest is the Chapter's octavo copy of Tyn- dale's New Testament, printed on the: Continent in 1525. His translation has been deseribed as "the grand foundation of England's greatness." Of 3,000 copies printed only two have survived, the other being preserved in a fireproof strong-room at Bristol. When the Testaments arrived in England, stern action was taken to prevent their circulation. Ilvery copy found was: publicly burnt. One of -the volumes at St. Paul's is believed to be unique. This is Richard Taverner's revised transla- tion of the New Testament printed in London. There is no other known copy. ' Denmark A kingdom of northern Europe, Denmark is the smallest of the nor- thern states, It is made up of Funen, Lolland, Zeeland, and other areas, the pen- insula of Jutland, and the outlying island of Bornholm, in the Baltic. Its area is 16,000 square miles. The population is about 3,'00,000, There is a diet of two chambers, the Senate of 76 members elected for cight years, and the Folketing of 149 members elected every four years, tk The throne is hereditary. One third of the population of . Denmark live exclusively by agricul- ture, and about one out 'of every two people are engaged in manufac- turing or trading. The chief products are wheat, rye, oats, barley, potatoes, butter, and domestic animals, The principal exports are farm and dairy produce, including barley, bacon, ham, butter, eggs, hides, also machinery and ships. Denmark has over half a million horses and three million head of cat- tle. For all its small size it has over three million pigs. . Its sea-going mercantile marine comprises nearly 600 ships, a large number for so small a country. The capital is Copenhagen, with a population of about 617,000. Other 'towns are Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, Horsens and Randers. The army musters 12,000 trained men. « -- ' sw wot GE on In SB, = ha on pv
