HARVEST HOME SERVICES
ST. JAMES’ CHURCH
LARGELY ATTENDED
Durham Couple Married
Monday At Salford
Rev. H. E. Merifield Conducted
Special Services of Praise
and Thanksgiving.
Capacity congregations attended
the Harvest Home services in St.
James’ Anglican Church on Sunday
last, which with its beautiful decor
ations of fruits, flowers and veget
ables all manifested the bountiful
goodness of God to His people. Rev.
H. E. Merifield had charge of all
services.
The celebration of Holy Commun-
icn was solemnized at 8 a.m, and at
the service of morning prayer a
beautiful choral communion service
was sung by Mr. Merifield and the
Z large choir of some 43 voices, solo
' parts being splendidly taken by Mrs.
Harold Wilson and Mr. H. K. Ed
ward. Mrs. Edward Gilling the or
ganist of the church, presided at the
organ, and during the communion
the choir sang softly the hymn, ‘Draw
near and take the body of the Lord.”
The anthem, “Praise the Lord, 0
Jerusalem was given by the choir,
Harry Hargreaves taking the soli,
in good voice.
In listening to the very interesting
rermon by Rev. Merified, one couid
not help but realize the counties^*
blessings God has bestowed on us,
and for which we should be thankful.
The service of evensong was fully
choral. During the offertory, the
choir rendered the anthem, “Ye
^hall Dwell in the Land,” Miss MariePanzer and Mr. Harry Hargreaves
taking the solo parts very acceptably.
Rev. Merifield stressed the use of the
words, “The time of harvest” in
his splendid sermon, in which he said
in part that while man can do much
(toward fulfilling the harvest in the
way of tilling, planting and caring
for produce, yet without God’s help
and care, little benefit would be de
rived. That was the first use of the
words of the text, the second being
that the words are as symbols of
Christ’s Kingdom on earth; the third
use of the words might refer to the
time when Christ shall come again
to gather the sheafs from His garner
of life. Rev. Merifield in closing
pleaded with the congregation to
accept Christ as their Saviour and
thank Him for all His goodness to
ward them.
The singing of the hymn, "Crown
Him Lqrd of All”, brought to a con
clusion one of the most beautiful
Harvest Home services held in
Janies’ Church for many years.

SPACE AT PREMIUM
FOR PLOWING MATCH
Canadian Farm MachineryFirms Anxious To Display
Wares To 100,000 Visitors
Expected To Attend TheFamous International Plowing Match.
If interest displayed by farm
machinery firms is any criterion, the
International Plowing Match to be
held at Minesing, near Barrie, Oct
ober 11, 12, 13 and 14, will un-
undoubtedly be the most successful
since this event was started in 1913.
Requests for space have been pour
ing in to Secretary J. A. Carroll,
Toronto, for some time, with the re
sult there will be a truly “tented
city” spring into being at Minesing
next month. The demand for space
has increased to such an extent
that this canvas MMain Street” will
be extended to nearly a mile, the
longest and best in the history of the
match. Over 100,090 attended the
match last year at Fergus and even
larger crowds are expected at Mine
sing.
While it is only natural that far
mers will be particularly interested
in the machinery exhibits, manufac
turers have not forgotten the fact
that these tillers of the soil will be
accompanied by. their wives, and
there will be a 4arge display of
home conveniences particularly ap
plicable to farm homes, and every
one well worth seeing.
The local committee in Simcoe
County of which J. T. Rimpson is sec
retary, has been working purpose
fully for months to make this year’s
match the best of the long line of
successful matches. Over 1,000 acres
of land have been reserved for dem
onstrations, parking and the 600 or
more contestants, who will vie with
each other for the $5,000 in prizes
offered by the Ontario Plowmen’s
Association. This generous prize
list is again attracting the cream of
Canadian plowmen which means that
visitors will witness the best plow
ing in the world at the largest plow
ing match in the world.
Farmers should note the dates,
October 11, 12, 13 and 14 and plan
to attend. Anyone wishing further
information should write to J. A.
Carroll, secretary, Ontario Plow
men’s Association, Parliament Build
ings, Toronto.

in the church parlors with a very
large attendance. The president, Max

and after a sing-song Miss Vera
Durst led in prayer. The scripture
lesson was given in unison and then
some very fine current events were

Out of more than sixty entries in
the white bread bakingicontest held
at the Canadian National'Exhibition
in Toronto, Ont. this year, the fact
that the first five prize winners used
Robin Hood flour has called forth
much comment from home-bakers
everywhere. The winners were:
1st prize—Mrs. W. A. Wylie,
Bolton, Ontario.
2nd prize—‘Miss Eva Jefferson,
Deloraine Ave., Toronto.
3rd prize—Mrs. P. Forester, K. R.
No. 2, King, Ont.
4th prize—Mrs. James Ewart, R.
R. No. 4, Bolton, Ont.
5th prize—Mrs. Wm. McClure,
Brampton, Ont.
Mrs. W. A. Wylie, whose loaf of
bread was best in points of flavor,
texture, cooking and appearance, is
an Ontario girl, who lived for some
years in the West. She has used Rob
in Hood since she started doing
home baking, and her mother used
H before her. "I like making home
made bread and rolls,” she stated
when interviewed after her victory.
“It is so easy to bake a few fresh
loaves, or a dozen or two rolls and
it adds variety to one’s meals. I
prefer simple wholesome food, that
is suitable*for the children.”
Miss Eva Jefferson, is a young
Toronto girl, who won prizes in the
junior competitions for a . number
of years. ■ This is the first time she
has entered the senior class, as she
is only seventeen years of* age. Sho
entered against her mother, who used
a different flour, and Eva carried
off second prize. Eva believes in
sticking to the product that has
brought her consistent success.
This was the first year Mrs. For
ester showed at the Exhibition, and
she quite enjoyed it. She is vice-
president of the Laskay Women’s
Institute, and never won a prize at
a fair before, although she thinks
she will try to better her prize next
year with another attempt "The
family think I make even better
bread than the loaf I entered,” she
laughingly told a reporter.
Mrs. Ewart and Mrs. McClure,
whose bread received honorable men
tion, are both farm women, who in
sist that-next year the honor of
being first will go to a country
woman, if they can possibly manage
it
It is quite an honour for the Robin
Hood Company that for the first
time in the history of the fair all
prizes for white bread were won ly
one flour—and that flour was Robin
Hvcd.

The Tin Can
Look at the kitchen cupboard. The shelves exhibit
a pleasing array of colored and decorated cans, all
of them containing something that plays a part in
the routine of the household. The containers are
neat, and well labelled. Indeed, these containers
are quite often so neatly and conveniently made that,
for everyday use, they are quite good enough for the
table. We could easily do away with the old fash
ioned pepper box, for example, because the comer
grocer will hand you a very nice-looking container
with the pepper in it all read to shake.
A Parisian named Appert was the first man to can
food. He carried out his experiments with glass
jars, which he sealed and immersed in boiling water.
The French Government had offered a prize of 12,000
francs for the discovery of a process of preserving
food for the soldiers and sailors of France. Napol
eon was so grateful that he awarded the prize to
Appert in person.After that an Englishman, Peter Durand, invented
the tin can and it took the place largely of the glass
jar, so easily broken.Hark back to the kitchen cupboard with its splen
did variety of canned goods—from coffee to spinach.
There may be everything you require for breakfast
luncheon or dinner and a snack in between. Com
pare it with the cupboard typical of the days before
the present century came in. Almost the only canned
food on the shelf was salmon with its gaudy paper
wrapper glued to the tin. Now and again when
the picnic season was due there might be condensed
milk, in which the Swiss were doing a thriving trade.
These were the days when the ladies of the house
hold were vary busy with purely domestic concerns,
and cupboards were huge affaiVs.
to be prepared for hungry mortals.
roasted and ground, salt cellars and pepper boxes
had to be filled, mustard to be moistened. Potatoes
turnips, carrots and other accompaniments of the
meat portion at dinner had to be peeled or scraped.
The household implements were solid and heavy, the
forks and knives had to be polished after every meal,
and the work went on from early morning until late
in the evening.Nowatrays there is actually no need to do any one
of these things. If the housewife is so minded, she
need not do much more preparation for a meal dur
ing the day than toast a slice of bread, fry a rasher
of bacon, boil an egg or brew a pot of tea. House
keeping has been simplied with a vengeance.
The angle that occurs to one as most noticeable is
the arrival of the tin can as a great labour-saving de
vice. It has eliminated a great deal of the drudgery
of the kitchen. Countless hours of toil has been
saved by the tin can.
The most important branch of the canning industry
is the canning of fruits and vegetables, which is car
ried on most expensively in Ontario and Quebec,
where the climatic conditions for the growing of
these crops are favorable. The canning season begins
in June and continues throughout the summer and
autumn until October, being at its height in July,
August and September. That makes employment
vary. Fewer than three thousand persons are em
ployed in March, yet in the busy months there are
. seventeen or eighteen thousand.
Canned fruits and vegetables in Canada have a
money value greater than all other canned foods
combined. Canned fish rates next. Salmon leads the
way amongst the varieties of fish and is more than
twice all others combined. Practically all of the
canned salmon comes from British Columbia, with a
small quantity from Juebec and other provinces.
Chicken can now be bought in a can, fitted to its
nicely browned curves, thus saving the blushing,
bride from the jokes about amateur cooking. Even
the prospect of raising young children has been made
simpler by prepared foods. This item is gaining
rapidly in popularity as the figures for the last two
years available srrow a doubled production of pre
pared food for infants.
In fact the production of concentrated milk pro
ducts was double that of canned soups. The total
production value of the canned food industry in 1935
amounted to 45 million dollars, an increase of nearly
3 million dollars over the year before.
Tomato juice, which is more frequently found in
the bars than in the dining-roms of hotels in Eng
land is another product that is gaining in popularity.
The flavour of the Canadian tomato is well liked and
the extra juice in the tins of canned tomatoes is very
popular in the North of England, especially among
the miners,
It is impossible to say exactly how many tin cans
ar made in Canada in a year, but a good guess might
be 60 million of all kinds. In the United States 600 .
million is said to be the number.
Apples To Harden Steel
Wonders will never cease, we say to ourselves,
when we pick up a publication of the National Re
search Council and find that apples are being used
to harden steel. Think of it, pectin from the waste of
the orchard with which we are familiar in jelly-mak
ing, finds a new role in the steel industry. It may
also be made into a resin or into a plastic compos
ition which may be employed as a binder for abrasive
substances and composition wood. The disintegrated
mass pressed from apples and known as pomace
now makes a good cattle feed.
The surplus production of potatoes has recently
become a problem to Canadian farmers, particularly
in the Maritime Provinces, as their markets in the
New England States have been much lessened. Al
though some of the excess potatoes can be used as
feed for livestock and in the production of alcohol
and starch, this does not solve the difficulty. But
fusel oil, a by-product from the distillation of ordin
ary alcohol produced by fermentation, contains an
alcohol which is used as a solvent of cellulose in
making so-called “dope” for covering the fabric of
aeroplanes. Fusel oil may also be used in lacquers
and varnishes.
Coming back to silk, one of our commonest prov
erbs is that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s
ear. That may have been true in past times but at
an exhibition of cellulose products in Montreal, a
purse was exhibited made of artificial silk obtained
from the cellulose in a sow’s ear.
By the way, the chemists are working on a cement
or filling which will stick metal to glass as well as
metal to stone. And they’ll find it.
Long ago when ladies wanted to make their hands
soft and white, they rubbed them with wet oatmeal,
and for many years it has been used in soaps and.as
a skin application. Recently a special precess has
been developed whereby oats are made into a soft
powder and incorporated into a utifumed cosmetic.
DIABETES
As a young physician 1 learned to appreciate the
fact that diabestes was practically an incurable dis
ease, although, by watching one's diet carefully and
not eating foods that would be ultimately converted^
into sugar in the laboratory of the body, it was pos
sible to stand off the Angel of the Darker Brink for
many many years. Children and young persons
suffering from this disease presented serious problems
and the death rate was unusually high among this
class. In elderly people a rigid diet helped materially
in keeping them alive, but as a rule they died long
before their time. Heavy eaters among those past
middle, life were prone to this infirmity, Jews and
Italian* being especially subject to its ravages. Among
food handlers, such as chefs, waiters, restaurant
keepers and the like, there was always a large per
centage to be found victims of diabetes. There are
more female than male diabetics.
INSULIN
Due to Dr. Banting of Canada and a second-year
medical student named Best, who worked with him,
insulin, made from the pancreas of animals sometimes
called the sweetbreads,—the gland which secrets it—
was discovered, and today the diabetic, once helpless
against this scourge, may by using insulin properly,
prolong his life indefinitely. By a series of trial diets
and examinations, the physician is able to ascertain
the maximum amount of sugar tolerated by the
patient. By adhering to tha quantity of food speci
fied by the doctor and the administration of insulin,
hypodermically and usually given by the patient
himself, many cases yielded to treatment and the
sufferer became sugar free and normal again and
stops using this drug. In the more difficult cases,
however, insulin must be resortedjto continually, but
in reality it causes the patient little’difficulty or in
convenience. <
To carry on the preliminary work in this' study,
Dr. Banting sold his instruments and furniture, gave
up his practice and devoted his tinle to solving the
problem, aided by the medical student who flipped a
coin with another student to see who would become
the doctor's assistant.
I, like thousands of doctors, can testify to the effi
cacy of insulin and have had hundreds of cases now
alive as a result of this medicine, who before its dis
covery would have been in their graves.
Ingersoll Fair Deserves Public Support
Today and tomorrow, September 29th and 30th,
are Ingersoll Eair days. Whether this year's annual
exhibition of the Ingersoll North- and West .Oxford
Agricultural Society will be a success depends entire
ly upon the support the fair receives from the citizens
of the town and surroupding district. President
A. D. Robinson, Secretary-Treasurer George F.
Janes, the other officers and directors of the Agri
cultural Society, have left nothing undone in their
efforts to make this year’s fair even better than last
year’s .show which was regarded as one of the best
staged-here in recent years.
* Ingersoll Fairhas come to be regarded as one of
, Western Ontario’s Best Livestock Shows and frqm
the fine, list of entries already received in this de-
■ partment alone, there is sure to be keen competition
for the many prizes that are offered.
All palace exhibits will be in place today. These
include Grain, Roots and Vegetables, Fruits, Plants,
and Flowers, Dairy and Domestic Produce, Domestic
Science, Ladies’ Work and Fine Arts.
The big day- of the exhibition is to-morrow. The
livestock parade in front "of the grandstand at the
conclusion of the judging, will be a feature, of the
afternoon. \ A fine program of entertainment has
been arranged, this includes two harness horse races,
a 2.28.class'trot or pace for a purse of $100.00 and
a 2.22 class trot or pace also for a purse of $100.00
Every heat will be a race and the money is to be

From the Files-of The Oxford Tribune,
Wednesday, October 1st, 1879
On Tuesday, the matter of the pond of Messrs. W.
and J. Partlo was up for investigation before Police
Magistrate D. M. Robertson. Messrs. William and
John Partlo were charged by J. B. Capron, police
man, with keeping and maitaining a mill dam in the
town of Ingersoll^that emits noxious and unhealthy
vapors to the common nuisance of Her'Majesty’s liege
subjects.
We have become so diet minded
throughout the world during the
years since the World War that
everywhere adequate diets for school
children are being worked out and
developed in the effort to help
mothers provide balanced meals for
their families. Science has traced
so many adult ills to a lack of well
chosen foods during childhood that
modem mothers are alert to the
necessity of maintaining the proper
distribution of all the food elements.
We know that certain foods make
strong bones, others develop muscles,
some create energy for immediate
needs and still others are a protect-
tion against disease. All these foods
must be provided daily to make
children grow and keep healthy.
Milk, vegetables, cereals and fruits
must be used in abundance. Not
much meat is necessary, though;
one specialist in children’s diets says
that the “meat portion should be the
size of the palm of the child’s hand.”
Small as this amount may seem, it's
essential because of its
quality.
Eggs and certain kinds
are good, too, although the
of serving them must be considered.
Both must be cooked slowly becaqso
intense heat makes these foods hard
to digest.
Milk is vitally necessary. Every
giowing child needs a quart of milk
a day. This need not all be con
sumed as a beverage but can be used
in cream soups and sauces, custards,
ice creams and simple puddings and
on cereals. If the child drinks his
quart of milk in addition to the var
ious milk dishes so much the better.
Fruit is good for the mineral and
vitamin content and often acts as a
stimulant to a child’s appetite. Either
fresh, stewed dried fruits or canned
fruits are valuable in every meal of
the day.
Leafy vegetables are of the utmost
importance. They have a unique
value in being ficii sources of tooth
and bone-building material. A very
young child should havtf one or two
leafy vegetables, finely minced of
course, every day.
P E O P L E .........................................*VI>«»
After more years than I like to
count of looking on at life and the
people who live it, 1 have come to
believe that all human beings fall
into two definite groups. One group
is composed of the folk I call “seif
starters,” men and women with ini
tiative and enterprise and enough
moral stamina to overcome obotacles
and make their way under their own
power. The other group, which is
probably much smaller, includes all
the folk who have to be edit vied,
having no motive power of their
cwn.
Most of the complaints 1 hear and
read
from the second group.
times are hard, they are the first to
feel it, and the quickest to blame
somebody else for their own failures.
From that group arise most of the
complaints against “The System”
and the demands for the distribution
of wealth and income, or changes in
the economic scheme of things.
I have found in no code of relig
ion or system of economics anything
which requires society to do any
more for any member of the human
race than to see that he does not
starve or freeze to death and that
he gets an equal opportunity with
all the others to make the best of
his life of which he is capable. Am
erica has always done that.
Right now, when growth is over
for the season, the chances of success
in transplanting trees and ferns from
the woods are the very best. Be
sure you can supply the right and
natural growing conditions before
you take up any plants. Exposure,
soil and drainage should approxim
ate the original location.
H E L P ............................................farmer
The world, as I have observed it,
is always ready to lend a helping
hand to people who are entitled to
help. Most of the folk who clamor
most loudly for help are not entitled
to it. We hear a great deal, for
example, about distressed farmers
who are demanding help from the
Government. I think that the realiz
ation is gradually growing that no
farmer who really deserved to be
helped has ever had any trouble in
getting assistance when he really
need it.
Who ever knew of a really good
farmer, with a good wife, making a
failure of his farming or his life?
The great majority of the fanners of
the nation have no real need of
govenjment subsidies or bounties.
“The farm vote’ for which poli
ticians are constantly angling, is the
votes of the improvident and incom
petent fanners, who have no one to
blame but themselves for their own
troubles, but want society to make
good their losses and cancel their
debts. Politicians can fool’them for
a while with promises, and buy their
totes for a few elections with your
money and mine, but the promises
can never be kept, and there’s a bot
tom to even the taxpayers’ barrel.
This is the story of an Atlantic
Coast codfish and how and why it
came to wear an identification tag.
Captured in the Sable Island Bank
area off Nova Scotia on May 30,
1^37, the cod was tagged by a
Canadian fisheries research worker
and then set free, unharmed, to fol
low its own devices again. It kept
away from trouble for a little more
than a year. Then it made a mistake.
On June 20, 1938, it grabbed at an
enticing bit of food off Gabarouse,
Cape Breton. That ended its earthly
or watery, career. The bit of food
concealed a fisherman’s hook. The
cod went to market weeks ago or per
haps it’s somewhere in a shipment
of dried fish on the way to market.
The fisherman returned the iden
tification tag to the federal Fisheries
Research Board. A glance at the
number on the tag and another
glance at tagging records told the
investigator concerned when and
where the fish had first been caught
and tagged and freed. It had ended
up at Gabarouse, and taken a little
over a j ear to get there.
The movements of a single fish
■wouldn’t tell anybody very much, of
course, about the migratory habits
of cod. The case is different, how
ever, if a large number of cod are
tagged and substantial numbers of
them recaptured later on. In that
case an analysis of the tagging rec
ords may reveal what travel course
the fish, as a group, usually follow.
If that is found out it will be pos
sible for the fishermen to know
where catches are most likely to be
made.
That, in brief, is why the fisheries
scientists in the federal service have
been tagging large numbers of cod
fish off Nova Scotia in the past few
years. It’s a step taken'with a view
to obtaining information that can be
passed on to the-fishermen to their
practical advantage. >

GARAGE OPERATORS OF COUNTY
CO-OPERATING IN DRIVE FOR SAFETY
Importance of Skilled and Reliable Service 1> Emphasized.
Strongly supported by individuals
anil organizations, the Oxford Coun
ty branch of the Garage Operators’
Association of Ontario is gradually
extending its efforts to add to the
safety of motoring and to give a
more efficient mechanical service to
motorists generally.
It has been emphasized that
•‘safety, courtesy, efficiency and
integrity” constitute the watchword
of the association. The importance
of all motor vehicles being in fit
mechanical condition has been stress
ed in regard to any effort to mater
ially reduce the number of highway
accidents.
In the campaign to make motoring
less dangerous, the association has
the whole-hearted support of pro
vincial and local police officers and
coupled with this important factor
there also is commendation for the
-determination to give motorists as a
whole the most efficient mechanical
service possible.
Many fatal accidents are due to
some mechanical defect, and the
association draws to the attention of
motorists the great significance of
having cnly the most qualified
mechanics undertake work on their
cars, for what today may be consid
ered only a minor defect may be the
cause of a serious accident tomorrow.
Police will have the hearty co
operation of members of the asso
ciation in making the drive for
greater safety as successful as pos
sible. The campaign will be held in
Oxford County next week, October
?rd to Sth, Monday and Tuesday at
Tillsonburg; Wednesday and Thurs
day, at Woodstock, and Friday and
Saturday in Ingersoll. The tests are
made in the interests of safety and
are free and voluntary1.
The Garage Operators’ Associa
tion of Ontario was established in
1933. It has been explained by
Harry Harper. Toronto, provincial
president of the association that at
that time all garages were not being
operated on an entirely fair basis.
It was with a view to rectifying this
situation that the organization was
formed by a group of garage opera
tors themselves. Every member
throughout the province today is
pledged to live up to the slogan of
the association.

The Split Second
Two researchers from Yale Uni
versity, according to the New York
Times, reported last week their dis
covery, based on exhaustive tests
made with a motion picture camera,
that one out of every five drivers al
lows less than a second’s leeway
when he passes a car on a two-lane
road in the face of oncoming traffic.
About one out of ten it was found,
places himself and, of course, the
opposing driver in definite danger.
The danger would be greater says
the Times editorial, if many careful
| drivers had not learned to step on
their brakes and so make space for
fools to whom the saving of a minute
or two is worth the risk of one or
more lives.
The incident illustrates the in
creasingly important role which in
creasingly small fractions of time
play in our civilization. The tradi
tional farmer who wanted to know
“what’s time to a hawg” represented
an obsolescent situation. Consider
the motorist travelling at 50 miles
nn hour,- or dbout 73 feet a second,
who is passing a fellow-traveller
making 40 miles an hour, or about
58 feet a second. In a second he can
obviously get 15 feet of clearance.
If he needs 20 feet, it will take him
a third of a second longer. That
third of a second can make the dif
ference between life and death for
several people.
The maniacs who miscalculate, or
who take blind chances, exact their
daily toll. The amazing and reassur
ing fact is that most of us do judge

Useful Hints On
Storing Vegetables
Vegetables intended for storing for
winter use should be grown to as
nearly full maturity as possible, oth
erwise they cannot be expected to
keep so well, states James Gallaher,
Head Gardener, Experimental Sta
tion, Kentville, N. S.
Squash and pumpkin should be
turned over whil^ growing to get all
rhe sunshine possible, and the fruit
may be raised off the ground by
placing boards <rr flower-pots under
neath. As soon as the rind is firm
enough to prevent piercing by the
fingernail the fruit may be taken off
‘.he plant. On no account should
the fruit be exposed to the least
frost. They should be stored in a
warm dry place; a temperature of
from 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit is
suitable and at all times be hand
led ns carefully as eggs; the slightest
bruise, even though not noticeable,
i likely to cause decay in storage.
When large quantities are to be
stored, slatted shelves should be
used so that the fruits may not be
piled on top of each other»
Onions may also require some help
to ripen in the fall, in districts where
the season is short. As soon as the
top of a few plants fall over, all
the tops should be bent over. This
checks the flow of sap and causes
the bulbs to ripen. A few days
later the plants should be pulled. If
the weather continues fine they
should be turned over occasionally
until the tops are fairly well dried,
when they should be cut off and the
bulbs placed in slatted crates or
spread out in an open shed to finish
ripening. In wet weather they
riiould be removed to the shed at
nice for ripening. When well dried
they may be put into storage for
winter. A cool dry cellar, with the
temperature not over 40 degrees at
any time is ideal for keeping onions.
Shallow slatted shelves or crutes are
satisfactory if the bulbs are not piled
to any great depth.
The Danish Ballhead strain of late
rabbage is best for storing for win-
Ler use. All the outer leaves should
be removed and the heads handled
carefully to avoid bruising. Select a
dry day when the heads have no
rain water lodged in them, and store
ii. a cool dr}* place. If there is a
"■nod circulation of air in the store-
>: they may be piled in several
layers. Small quantities may be pull
ed without cutting off the head, and
suspended from the joists in a dry
cellar, with the roots left on but all
the outer leaves removed.
Carrots beets and parsnips should
be kept very cool, and if well dried
before storing may be put in Iqrge
piles so long as there is no disease
pi esent. If carrots show signs of
lustfly injury the roots should be
stored in smaller quantities as one
blemished root will spoil many in a
very short time.
Celery should be lifted from the
garden before' it gets too much
frost, as otherwise it may rot when
-tored. The plants may be put into
soil or sand on the floor of the
cellar in beds about 4 feet wide,
with sufficient space between the
plants for ajr to pas^ through. One
good soaking of water will do for a
long time. When watering is done
care should be taken 'that the soil
only is watered and that none goes
on the foliage. A very cool cellar
where air can be admitted is best.
Potatoes keep-well in a dry place
where the ' temperature is between
30 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The notice outside the little photo-
ghapher’s shop said: » "Life-size en
largements from yolr own snap
shots.” ’
A visitor walked inside. "You
might see what you can do with this
little snap of Niagara Falls," hesaid.

STORY’S
BEAUTY SALON
46 King St East, Ingersoll
“AS A WOMAN SEES IT”— By Arabella —FLOWERS BRING CONTENT
Our pen urge* us to write a few
words in praise of the residents lit
the North-East section of the town.
While canvassing on more than one
occasion we have covered it very
thoroughly, and have been strongly
impressed by the appearance of the
houses. But not wishing to appear
unfairly partial we have refrained
from mentioning it. However, as we
find that even people from ou£ of
lewn have remarked on it, we add
our word of praise for those indus
trious folk who have made a brave
effort to retain their homes and to
keep up appearances.
It-is doubtful whether any other
section of the town lias felt the de
pression more severely than that
which lies in the angle formed by
Thames and Carnegie Streets and
the clouds have not lifted entirely
jet. However, though money might
be lacking, courage is not, and
anything that could be done with
flowers, a little paint and work, has
been done.
Early Spring brought quantities
uf beautiful tulips and daffodils; in
June the porches were literally
heavj* with as fine Rambler Roses as
were to be found anywhere, follow
ed by Iris, bleeding heart, delphinium
and lilies that would do credit to a
flower show. Autumn finds them gay
with gladioli, asters, zinnias and
nil the rest, in a blaze of color.
Some of the finest turf in town is in
the lawns in that section, which alone
indicates the diligence of the people,
for while flowers will make a fair
showing for a minimum of attention,
it is not so with a lawn. That re
quires constant care to obtain results.
Nor will winter find the enthus
iasm lessened, for gorgeous geran
iums are being prepared to give col
or and cheer indoors, while Mother
Earth rests.
"Yes, we are firmly convinced that
ull things considered that section
makes as favorable a showing as
any other in town. Then the people
themselves; they stay at home to en
joy their places, playing Croquet on
their fine lawns, of sitting on their
verandahs to survey the results of
their labors. A group of men find
pleasure in horse-shoe throwing,
which has become a thriving sport
in the neighborhood.
It is a community of home-keeping
hearts—the happiest kind there are.

ARM USELESS ON AWET DAYRheumatic, Pain* Relievedby Kruschen
Here is u noteworthy instance ofthe manner in which damp weather
can affect the joints of one who issubject to rheumatic pains.
"1 had been suffering from rheumatism very badly," a man writes,
"and had such pains in my jointsthat I could hardly bear it, on awet day especially. It pained me terribly to use my arms, and I washardly able to work. I tried two dif
ferent remedies, but I was still as
bad after the treatment."Then I was told to try KruschenSalts, which quickly brought relief.
So of course I have kept oa with it,and I atn now much better and havenever felt so fit for years. I
used to fee! so miserable and sluggish, but now it is a pleasure to beable to work.”—S.B.
The pains and stiffness of rheuma
tism are often caused by uric acidcrystals in the muscles and joints.The numerous salts in Kruschen
assist in stimulating the internalorgans to healthy, regular activity,and help them to eliminate excessuric acid.
ONCE OVER LIGHTLY
by GARDNER BOTSFORD
Purge*
I don’t know what’s got into
people these days, but it seems as
though they’re all inspired with the
ambition to have purges. Every
time you look around somebody is
holding a red-hot purge. First there
were the Russians who had one
every day, sending all sorts of
people to the Siberian purge mines
for not running the railroads on
time or gumming up the ambergris
industry. Then Germany had a couple
and found them very fine indeed so
they had more; Italy* thought a nice
purge would brighten things up a
little, so^hey indulged in a few. At
last reports the Japanese were purg
ing the Chinese to beat the band.
Now even the United States is in
the middle of the race for purge
honors, ever since President Roose
velt has leaped to the fore. The
land is crawling with them, leaving
only Australia untouched by the
fad. I guess this is all right because
a purge in the land is worth two in
the bush, anyway.
I deplore the suggestion that to
be perfect we must emulate the ani
mal, anyway, I resent being in
formed that for good deportment I
should look to the ant, and that for
tiue temperance I should observe
ways of the camel. Nor would the
happy home habits of the bee lead
me to a life of industry and shining
hour improvement. It seems to me
that these animals are all sort of
stupid, especially the ant, who leads
what must be a one-sided life, and
is always having trouble with people
pouring kerosene into his house.
hat’s more the camel has several
stomachs with t which to entertain
himself, and can spend his time
profitably being temperate and en
joying his hump.
I think this whole situation is
going to have a lot of ramifications.
I’t going to be aw'ful easy to dis
pose of anything you don’t like
much by a judicious use of the
purge. No more will be heard cal
amitous lamentations about income
tax collectors, subway guards and
Sunday motorists. Purge ’em all!
Right now I’m starting a campaign
against long-haired dogs myself.

A man was strolling down the
street, holding a large dog by a
leash, when he met a friend. The
conversation soon turned to the
merits of the dog.
“Yes," said the owner, that dog
could detect a bird a mile away."
"Indeed!" said the friend who
noticed the nnimal sniffing nervous
ly. "That dog acts as if a bird were
under his nose, and there isn’t any
bird t\ear."
The owner looked perplexed. See
ing another man near, them, he ap
proached him and asked, "Pardon
me, but have you a bird in your
pocket?”
"No,” answered the man.
After a few minutes the dog’s
owner said, “Excuse me, but what’s
your name?"
"Partridge," replied the man.
"Is she very* pretty”?
“Pretty? Say, when she gets on a

the crowd.Presently, a bald, heavy man pastmiddle age with a big diamond onthe checked tie that he wore withan even gaudier suit, made his way

“I’m quittin’, Royer.” Quinn continued. “Check me out."Royer stared at him. "What’s the
matter? Ain’t 1 treatin’ you right?”“No kick at all,” Quifih said
casually. ”Better get a house-man.I want to talk to you.”The owner shouted for a man and

Royer asked, Quinn pulled out his billfold, tookout a card and silently handed it to

When they were clear of the canyons again, they headed south for
Soledaji. Neither of them talked.They picked up the trail ,that ledpast the D Bar T and Laredo let
his bay make the pace.
Chuck's voice yanked him out of
his thoughts.1 “Listen! Weren't those shots?”“Shots? I never heard them.■Where from?”| “To the south and a little west."I That would be the Turner place.Laredo spurred his horse into a longlope.
J" Well take a pastar, Chuck.iCZ ion,” he called.
| When they approached the D BarT, the place was dark. Laredo
reined up by the corral.I “l«ct's look around.”I They dismounted and approached
the lioysA The ho-jse loomed
.blackly, silently, before them. Laredo
came jp to the back door and listened. Nothing. He walked off tpthe side and listened again.A soft groan came from the front
of the house Laredo drew a gunand warily walked around to the
corner of the house and stopped.Again the groan.Laredo knelt down and struck a
snatch. A> it flared, he saw a manlying sprawled in a wide pool of
blood, face down. He turned him
stood Winters, holding out a wet
towel.“Good evening, gentlemen," Quinn
drawled.They both whirled instantly."You sent for me. I believe?"It took a half second for the twomen to realize the situation. Winters, with a snarl, hurled the towel
at Quinn’s head. But the gamblerhad anticipated that. His gun ex
ploded at Winters.Then the wet towel struck Quinn*
in the face and wrapped around hishead. He plucked at it frantically,waiting for the shots from Winters’companion, but they did not come.When he wrenched the towel off,
the room was in darkness. He waited a tense second, th-n struck a
match. By it, he saw tw*< Wintershad fallen against the door, slid
down it and extinguished the flames.But the second man was gone.The window was open, and from a
solidly embedded hook in .the win- •now frame, a rope trailed out theopen window. He saw the rope
move and ran to the window. Heheard a body drop, then the sound
of running feet.Quinn swung out the window and
disappeared down the rope.
He waited a tense second, then struck a match.
"Rourke.” he said quietly. "One of
them nesters.”Laredo turned the man over. “He's
done for," he told Chuck, but thenester moved a little."Who—who is it?" the nester
asked in a weak frantic whisper."Laredo Jackson. What happened,
Rourke?""They tried—to fire—house,”
Rourke whispered.“Two of—’em. I — come — seeTurner—about lake. Dark. Saw—
both scatterin’—coal oil — leaves.They cut down—me. Took my—
gun.”"Which way did they ride?"
Laredo asked him.“I couldn't tell,” Rourke whispered.
"Hurt bad?” Laredo asked gently.• “Bad as hell," Rourke whispered.“I'm done for.”Laredol^ked off into the night,cursing ‘Wily. "What kind of a
gun was you carryin’, Rourke?”“Smith and Wesson .38. Had achip off the butt.”
"And you never saw ’em? Neversaw their horses?”
"I thought it was Turner. I spokeright out. and they both opened up
on me. Don’t remember much. Oneof ’em kicked me in the face, andlaughed, and took my gun."
"Didn't he say,nothin'?”"Somethin’ about . . . wonderin' if
they’d take it—at a faro table—instead of money.”“What did he.call the ranny hespoke to?"There was no answer. Laredo
poured more water down Rourke'sopen mouth. The man did not move.
"He’s dead." he said quietly."Laredo went back to Chuck.“I'm going with you, wherever
that is," Chuck told hj,m.“It's Single Shot. That’s the only-
place there's faro tables dose.” ,Martin Quinn stood among thecurling pennants of tobacco smoke.
His face was still, impassive. It wasa big night for the Free Throw and
the saloon was noisy with the crowd.He felt a hand on his sleeve and
looked up to see one of the housemen beside him holding out a foldedslip of paper. Unfolding it with one
hand, he read:"Come to hotel room at once.

The writing was not the same as ithat on the two notes Roy had sent i
him.He walked slowly over to thehotel, a scowl wrinkling his fore- *head. The clerk greeted him andreached for his key.
“Seventeen, isn’t it, Mr. Quinn?’“Is sixteen taken?” Quinn asked,accepting the key.

connects seventeen and sixteen,too.” the gambler said.
The clerk shook his head. “I’mafraid it’s lost. Mr. Quinn."Quinn nodded, took the key tosixteen, and headed for the stairs.At the head of the stairs, Quinn
paused and removed his shoes. Thenhe continued down the hall.
Room seventeen, his own room,was on the back corner around asmall L in the hall. He tip-toed
down the corridor and let himselinoiselessly into room sixteen, which
was next to his own.Then he set about working.
He put on his shoes, because tbc^carpet made his movements noise-'less. Then, working in the dark, he
got a towel and soaked it in thepitcher of water, went over to theconnecting door and poured thewater slowly and quietly on the rugwhere it disappeared under the door.
The rug soaked the water up andspread it into the adjoining room.
Then he rose, got the lamp, un-: screwed the wick, knelt at the door
again, and poured its kerosene slow-, )y on the rug at the bottom of the.door. Like an oily snake, the kero
sene floated on the surface of thewet rug and slid under the door into
the next room. Quinn got the wettowel, struck a match, lit the kero
sene and watched the flame flare upand crawl under the door. Swiftly,
he laid the wet towel against thedoor, extinguishing the flames on, his side of it, then rose and went out; into the hall

In town, Laredo paused just longenough to tell Chuck: "You stay
outa the way. I’m handlin’ theshoot in’ irons tonight.”
They swung into the crowdedhitchrack in front of the Mile High.Laredo started at the corner andworked up. examining every saddlehorse at the rack, rar down the
line, he came to a blue horse and hestopped. The horse was breathing
hard. It was wet with sweat.’ He struck a match, knelt downand began to examine the ground
under the horse. Some shiny object caught his eye and he picked
it up. It was an empty .38 calibershell.He straightened up. In front of
the saloon doors at the hitchrack, ateam and buckboard stood. Laredo
swung up over the end-gate andfaced the saloon.Above the swinging doors thelights stretched out in a diminishing
row of three.Chud:. on the sidewalk, sawLarcu./ draw a gun, then the little
foreman lifted his head.

His blood-curdling cry split the
night air and he punctuated it withthree swift shots through the door
of the Mile High that winked outthe lights, leaving pandemdnium in
side.A tentative shot coughed out of
the Mile High, then the din began.Yells, shouts, curses and shriekswelled out of the door, just as the
first customers came boiling throughthe door.
Laredo calmly loaded his gun ashe walked down the road to the blue
horse. Then -he .untied the blue’sreins and mounted.Laredo saw( the running figure*
swing under the hitchrack, thencome to an abrupt stop before theblue. “Get offa that horse! Thatblue is mine!” *
Laredo hesitated. “Why. so it is,”he said mildly.
He swung off slowly, then pivotedaround to ram a gun barrel in thebelly of the man. +Laredo ordered softly.On the sidewalk, in the dim street
light.Laredo looked the man ovar, then
reached out and pulled a gun fromwhere it was wedged in the man's
belt. It was a Smith and Wesson.38 with a chip off its plated butt?
The men who ha<j swarmed out ofthe saloon stopped now and formed
a loose circle about the two men.“I won that in a poker game,” theman blustered.
Laredo backed away from himslowly, his gun steady and ominous.
“Now tell 'em you He," Laredodrawled thickly. "Before I cut you
off pocket-high, tell ’em you got thegun from Rourke, a man you killedand then kicked in the face.”

MORE PATIENTS
IN
MENTAL HOSPITALS
The Health League of Canada
sends out the following information
in view of the enquiry being con
ducted into one of Ontario’s mental
hosiptals, special interest attaches
to the Dominion Government's fifth
annual report of mental institutions.
This report just recently issued
covers the calendar year 1936 and
the figures show the importance of
public attention to the problems in
volved.
The total number of patients un
der care in 1936 was 53,326, an in
crease over the previous year of 2,-
592 and over the number five years
previously of 11,630. The report
states that the increase should not
be construed as a real increase in
the extent of mental disorders
among the general population. Men
tal disorders, it is pointed out are,
in the main, disorders of adult life,
♦he average insane first admissions
being 43 years. The increase in the
mental population may be partly
explained by the fact that among
those who take an active interest in
the care and treatment of persons
suffering from mental sickness there
is an increasing demand for early
treatment of mental diseases.
The most serious problem present
ed by the increase in the population
of mental institutions is stated to
be the lack of a corresponding in
crease in the bed capacity of hospi
tals. It is pointed out that by the
judicious use of parole and the in
troduction of the boarding-out sy
stem, as in use in Ontario, the situa
tion of overcrowding is met to some
extent. However, at the end of
1936, the number of patients in re
sidence exceeded the normal bed
capacity by 2454,
Of a total of 57. mental institu
tions, 37 are provincial institutions,
14 are controlled and maintained by
municipalities, 2 are maintained and
controlled by the Dominion Govern
ment and 4 are under the control of
private agencies. The personnel at
December 31st, 1936 totalled 7538—
3909 males and 3269 females. The
medical staff numbered 276 and
graduate, nurses 1032. The net cost
oC maintenance to federal, provin
cial and municipal governments wa%
$10,004,049.

j. PARNELL MORRIS
PASSES AT LONDON
Dorchester—The many friends and
ncqaintances here of J. Parnell Mor
ris, who for the past two years hnu
taught music in the Dorchester and
surrounding public schools, learned
with regret that he collapsed he»e
nr the noon hour on Tuesday last,
following the music lesson in the
junior room of the school. He was
given medical aid here, after which
he was removed to Victoria Hojo tai,
London, where it was found his con
dition was very serious, suffering
from cerebral hemmorhage and re
ports following showed no improve
ment, with death following on Fri
day,
The late Mr. Morris-was 66 years
of age and was one of the best
known organists and director, of
music in Western Ontario, and* had
been organist at Dundas Centre
CfiYirch, London, for more than a
third of a century. With a particular
aptitude for imparting music appre
ciation to the young, he devoted
much time to school music. He
.had conducted* school music classes
widely throughout the district, and in
the past ^ear was director of music
training In fifteen schools in East
Middlesex Each spring the deceas
ed held a‘musical festival in Dun
das Gentie Church, London, when
ali the Apils of the schools in
which ha! taught joined to give an
enjoyablf evening’s program, and
anyone attending these events, had
no doub| of the ability of the late
Mr. Morris as a music director and
his death will be regretted by hun
dreds who knew him personally or
as a musical director.
Autumn Menus t-!Food Fundamental*
September—the month of return-1
ing from summer vacation, of get
ting back to school, college or office,
and of settling down to the regular
routine of living which will continue
until another summer comes around.
This is the time of year when the
majority of children are in the best
of health—the effect of hours of re
laxation in the fresh air and summer
sunshine. Parents have a feeling
of pride and satisfaction when their
children start back to school pictures
of health, and they earnestly desire
to keep them so during the months
when school js in session. With this
objective 'care will be taken to see
that the growing child gets sufficient
rest, with time for play out of
doors, and that the daily meals are !
wholesome and palatable^ supplying
all the essentials to promote growth
and maintain health.
Fundamental food principles which
can be easily applied in preparing
meals for the family are now firmly
established. To speak of including
sufficient proteins, fats, carbohy
drates, miners and vitamins in the
diet may seem a complicated matter,
but fortunately a variety of plain,
wholesome foods, properly cooked,
will furnish these essentials. Build
the family meals of milk, cheese,
meat, eggs, vegetables and. fruits,
supplemented by cereals, breads, fats
and sugars, allowing one and one-
half pints of milk for each child
during the early years when teeth
and bones are developing rapidly.
The milk may be served as a bever
age and also in cooked foods such as
desserts, soups and creamed dishes.
Use meat, fish or fowl in one meal
every day, and if possible an egg in
some form. Serve potatoes daily, and
at least two other vegetables, and
include one or more fruit or fruit
juices. At least one fruit or veget
able should be served raw everyday.
With these essentials as the basis
for the meals, the balance of the
total food required to satisfy the
ajpjietite can be ^supplied by cereals
and breads, one-half of which should
be whole grain; fats, including but
ter and cream and sweet foods such
as jams and cakes.
"Now if I drop a silver coin in
/this bubbling acid,” said the chetn-
iwtry professor, "will it dissolve?”
"No, sir.”
"No? Then perhaps you will ex
plain why not.” i
“Well, if it would dissolve, you
wouldn't put it in, sir.”

News and InformationDry Bean CropHarvesting of dry beans has madegood progress in Western Ontario,
lu Kent County the yield is variable
with fields which escaped excessive
moisture fairly good. In Middlesex
and Huron counties, prospect* are
considered average. For the province
as a whole the yield is now forecast
at 17.8 bushels per acre as compared
with 19.3 bushels last year. The out
look is good for a normal crop of
corn for husking, although m some
parts of Kent county some damage
was caused by the storms.
Record Tobacco Crop
With very favorable weather con
ditions, the record crop of flue-
cured tobacco in Southwestern On
tario was harvested without any
frost damage. The crop matured very
well this year and went into the cur
ing kilns in excellent condition.
Some difficulty was experienced in
curing the early primings from the
bottom of the plant, and the leaves
from the first primings were thinner
than anticipated. The middle and
upper portion of the plant, however,
possessed much better body and
cured "well. Consequently the qual
ity of the crop as a whole appears
to be very good. Estimates place the
crop at about 60,000,000 pounds as
compared with 54,000,000 pounds
last year.
Burley tobacco ripened early this
year and was harvested under fav
orable conditions. The quality will
average better than last year with
more good and poor tobacco and less
medium than normally. Production
of hurley is expected to reach at
least 10,500,000 pounds, which com
pares with 6,392,000 pounds in
1937. The acreage was increased
from 2,300 acres last year to ap
proximately 3,000 in 1938. Product
ion of all types of tobacco in 1938
may be about 72,000,000 pounds, as
compared with the previous record
crop of 62,32,000 pounds harvested
in 1937.
Immature Peache*, Plum* and
Other Fruit*
An Editorial in the September
issue of Canadian Horticulture and
Home Magazine reads as follows:
The perennial old story of imma
ture peaches, plums and other fruits
being shipped to market and thus
damaging the industry is again to
the front. Press reports throughout
Ontario the past month called atten
tion to the praticce, in the interests
of both growers and consumers.
"There are peaches and plums
gong out of here not fit for human
consumtpion’,’ stated a Grimsby
grower, in an interview-. “They
should be sent to Japan or China for
use as bullets. What we need in
this country is a law to stop this
kind of thing. Dealers are to blame.
They tell growers to bring the stuff
in at a certain time, and the fact of
the fruit’s not being ripe makes no
difference to them. What right has a
shipper to ship or truck stuff that
no one can use? They might as well
steal the consumer’s dollar.” All
quite true, but does it not sound
more like passing the buck?” Some
dealers certainly are to blame -if
obeyed. But it is the grower han
sel f who is mainly responsible. Hun
dreds of growers ship at the proper
stage of maturity. But there are
many others who persist year after
year in shipping “green goods” in
the hope of capturing high early
prices—to get.ahead of their neigh
bors. They never seem to take a
lesson from the past, even though
they know full well that the rushing
of green fruit on the market injures,
and in many cases even stops, the

They prefer to take a chance—and
thus perhaps condemn the whole
crop. With the grape harvest start
ing this month of September, it is
hoped that the recent hue and cry
in the daily press will have effect
toward curtailing the picking and
marketing of basket grapes before
they are ready for eating.
Fruit Crop Condition*
In, Easterq Ontario very favor
able growing conditions have pre
vailed during the past month and
the sizing and colour of most var
ieties of apples are above average.
The coddling moth, apple maggot,
end,white leaf hopper, have caused
caused considerable damage, but
thorough spraying in most commer
cial orchards has resulted in very
cican crops. The demand for ex
port apples is reported by Eastern
Ontario to be quite keen with sales
for local markets rather slow except
in the St. Lawrence Valley district
where there is a good demand at
prices equal to last season.
In Western Ontario apples have
developed well with size and color
stated to be exceptionally good al
though some scab and infestation
of sideworm is in evidence in many
orchards. Fungus and insect pests
are generally well controlled in
commercial orchards where spraying
was thoroughly earned out
The total production of apples in
Ontario this season is estimated at
825,400 barrels, which is an increase
of 11 % above the 745,300 barrels
picked in 1937. A gain of 37tt%
in Eastern Ontario’s crop more than
offsets a 23% decline in the antici
pated production for Western Ontar
io.
The plum crop is practically har
vested with the exception of very
late varieties. The quality and size
are good. Total production is estim
ated at 57,700 bushels as against
56,000 last year. With the exception
of some loss to peaches by ground
rot, particularly in Rochester variety,
and a greater than usual amount of
split-pits, the quality of the peach
crop has been generally good. The
September estimate places the yield
at 552,000 bushels, a gain of approx
imately 5% over a year ago.
Sizing and quality of pears are
above average and there is very little
insect injury. - Late varieties will
be ’harvested within the next two
weeks. The August estimated pro
duction of 188,500 bushels has been
raised to 193,600 bushels and repre
sents an increase of 4% over 1937.
Grapes generally have a 1 and 2
tunch set as compared .with a 2 and*.
3-bunch set last year. As a result
the crop is estimated at 30% below
that of last year. Slight mildew, to
gether with considerable leaf hopper,
injury is expected to affect the de
velopment and the maturity some
what. Blues show a reduction of
31%/.whites of 10% and reds 2%.
