THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., JULY 15th, 1937 Her Limbs Were Almost Crippled Suffered with Sciatica for 25 Yjars Those who are subject to sciatica should read this letter from one who suffered for years before she found out how to obtain relief:-- "For 25 years I suffered from sciatica in my right side, and I had backaches which forced me to remain in bed for two or three weeks at a time. When I got up in the mornings, my arms and legs used to pain me almost •unbearably. One day I heard of Kruschen Salts- I took a bottle of them without feeling much improvement. I tried a second bottle, and that time I felt better. I have kept on taking Kruschen ever since." -- (Mrs.) H.L. The pains of sciatica are frequently caused by an excess of uric acid in the body. Two of the ingredients of Kruschen Salts are notable for their work in dissolving uric acid. Other ingredients of these salts assist the internal organs to expel the dissolved acid from the system. Large Dogs Are Most Dangerous Should Not Be Kept in Town Or City Unless Properly Exercised Chief Shane has declared war on unlicensed dogs, and is advocating a $25 license for police dogs. This followed an attack on a citizen by two of the animals. Not the first on record, by any means. The main trouble with dogs is that probably 60 per cent of the people who own them do not understand them. It takes time and patience to train a dog, and the large animals, particularly, should never be kept in a town or city unless properly and systematically exercised or kept in a yard. Naturally, a community of two-legged animals cannot be sacrificed for a community of four-legged ones, and as the majority of the two-legged cannot properly control the four-legged, there have to be measures In the old days there was an argument for keeping dogs in this mining community--they were largely jj used for teaming. But dog teams in Kirkland Lake these days, and what dog teams are comparatively few in number there are do not appear to be entirely composed of police dogs, or that Jails under the category. As a matter of fact, it is the large mongrels, mostly uncared for, which are the most It is hard on the few real dog trainers in town who keep their large beasts under good control to have to pay such a heavy tax, but certainly something has to be done to eliminate the danger and nuisance which At the same time all animal lovers who feel sorry for the animals who through no fault of their own, but for lack of training and care, become dangerous and nuisances. There is to the extremist, a parallel in the bringing up of children. Ontario Highways Need Beautifying One Great Fault Is Bareness, Says Niagara Falls Review One great fault with Ontario highways is their bareness, no great effort having been made to beautify them. They stretch like long ribbons, fine roads, but with nothing attempted in the way of landscaping in too many cases. That fault is not being copied in Australia where a new road is being built. The road will have a setting of lawns and of gardens, trees and flowering shrubs, with two wide lanes for ordinary traffic and bicycle tracks off the pavement. A garden committee has been appointed--the job of which will be to supervise the planting of the flower beds which will be a blaze of color all the year round. Of course, in Caaada we cannot expect such blazes of color all the year, our climate forbids; but there seems no good reason why all our highways should not be tree bordered, and the new islands beautified by flower beds and flowering shrubs, at least in summer. That new road in Australia will be a thing of beauty and long will remain in the memory of those who drive along it, quite different from our bare highway surroundings. Not enough has been done in Ontario to improve the property adjacent to highways. Here about the only thing which breaks the monotony of the roadside on some highways are hideous erections where hot dogs and other f succulent morsels may be bought by the passer-by. Quite likely, in Australia, provision has been made to have buildings, alongisde the new road keep in character with the surroundings. Not much use is it to build a fine road and have it spoiled by ugly haphazard erections. A new road enhances the property it passes and it is not too much to insist that property-owners must conform to certain standards of architecture for all buildings facing the highways. Much Ado For John Advises Outdoors As Youth Builder Baden-Powell Commends Free Air and Good Meals for Health LONDON--Plain food and plenty of out-of-door exercise are preferable to gymnastic training for the physical fitness of the youth of Britain, according to Lord-Baden Powell, world chief scout. Baden-Powell is also associated with Lady Baden-Powell in the Girl Guide movement. Dr. Alison Gaw, of the University of Southern Californ a, c.n.-f.atu-lating John Barrymore on his recent broadcast of "Richard the Third as other Shakespearean authorities and Mrs. Elaine Jacobs Barry-more join the admiration party. In rear (L-R) are Dr. Victor L. Clittick, Read Institute; Dr. John B. Cook, USC, and Dr. Edward Mims, Vanderbilt. "The finest men I have ever met have no gymnasia," said 'B. P' at a dinner here. He said physical training for underfed boys was not the right way of developing a strong and healthy nation, because ro two boys were alike in physical ability and a great many were not fit for the work given to a whole squad. Commenting editorially on the address the London Morning PosfFsaid: "Unlike many men of his age (80) the Chief Scout has the satisfaction of knowing that the ideas underlying his most memorable work have not been superseded by new fashions. "The importance of bringing a vigorous outdoor life within reach of town bred boys--which 'B. P.' appreciated more than 30 years ago-- is now being acknowledged, rather belatedly, by the whole nation. "Innumerable grown men, not only in England but throughout the entire world, are indebted partly to the Scout movement for their present good health and physical fitness." Smelter Adopts Famous Cow Among agricultural problems, like the ups and downs of the price of milk, which confuse the urban dweller, may be included the cow at the smelter. This cow, Picken's Patty, is Ayrshire which has mined milk out of herself till medals have been hung on her.

This production gained Picken's Patty membership in the Hundred Thousand Pound Club of American Ayrshire Breeders, and so must be notable even for a copper smelter. It is a tribute to Picken's Patty. It is a greater tribute probably, to Patty's Picken. For it seems a fact that when large industrial concerns take stock and gardens into their keeping, they do their animals well and they care for their roots and flowers, as may be noticed in many railway stations. If others, however .could care for their bossies as Consolidated Smelter cares for its Picken's Patty, there might, too, be a notable increase in the milk and butter-fat production, "•pr though this Patty must be a etty beast, she is almost certain to advantage of less favored and be fed with that cunning the concentrates which lacteal production. Tj, companies, rurally blissful-iiwcd, and sniffing copper fumes edwith the healthful aroma of armyard, demonstrate in their .way how to get bio;, yields. They 'hey do it in their smelting, so i their milking? This appeals to their passion for system, and icourages an accounting department to take interest in a cow whose production figures are twice-daily problems. Picken's Patty would be an ungrateful beast if she did not respond to the vice-presidential memo to chew a little overtime to increase her milk production. And when turned out to pasture, after having her hooves trimmed, she browsed in pastures treated with carefully selected fertilizer to give the better feed ordered by a direcor-ate anxious for her efficiency. A bovine boudoir is not usually expected to be found in a smelter plant, nor are the rural airs of the barn expected to be sniffed where the fumes of copper are what make the dividends. But amid them, Picken's Patty flourishes. Her honor gained may be a tribute to herself for staying on the job. Or it may, and possibly is, a greater tribute to the care given her. Which is understood in cow barns generally to be another proof of the fact that, even without the help of a smelter, most cows respond to better feeding and proper handling. Control Measures Stop Timber Destruction It is computed that, while fire de-stf/ys 230,000,000 cubic feet of merchantable lumber and the young growth on 550,000 acres in Canadian forests every year, insects, fungi, and windfall account for the loss of at least 700,000,000 cubic , feet. The destruction caused by insects and fungi would undoubtedly be substantially greater, were it not for the preventive and control measures that are taken by the Dominion and Provincial Entomologists and Botanists.

Beamsville Scouts planted 600 trees in the game preserve south of that town and a group of Ottawa Patrol Leaders planted the same number on a reforestation project at Carlsbad Springs. The King's Coronation Honours list included many distinguished figures prominent in Scouting in many parts of the Empire. In addition to Lord Baden-Powell who received the Order of Merit, and His Excellency the Lord Tweedsmuir, who was made a Privy Councillor, the list included the Hon. Sir Patrick Duncan, Chief Scout for the Union of South Africa; Viscount Galway, Chief Scout for New Zealand; Baron Gowrie, Chief Scout for Australia; Sir Herbert Emerson, Provincial Chief Scout for the Punjab; the Raja of Khil-chipur, Chief SmWt for Khilchipur State, and Sir Bernard Bourdillon, Chief Scout for Nigeria. One of the after-stories of the London, Ont., flood concerned the services of many kinds rendered by the Boy Scouts. Within half an hour of a radio mobilization call, at the request of the police, 250 boys and M icrophotography To Aid Libraries NEW YORK.--Prediction that mi-crophotography--or the art of making photographic reproductions of writings--will become a universal practice of libraries and scholarly institutions in preserving rare volumes and manuscripts, was made at a conference of the American Library Association here. Microphotographic reproductions of print were cast on a screen at the conference to give librarians present an insight into the possibilities of the technique. The print projected on the screen was moved slowly along by a motor which could be adjusted to keep pace with the eye, attached to the projector. Projectors operated by hand were also displayed. An entire issue of a daily paper can be reproduced on two feet film and more than two complete copies of a telephone book can be photographed on a film area less than the area of one page of the book, the conference was informed. leaders had reported for orders at Scout Headquarters. They relieved' officers on point duty, and handled' traffic efficiently. They watched bridges, manned boats, and kept sightseers from coming into the cityV At the police station they took over^ the telephone switchboard, releasing] officers for other work. A staff of six older Scouts assigned to the firOj department, went out on all fire calls,; to handle traffic and the crowds. Redi| Cross Headquarters at the City Hall was supplied with runners. At the clothing depot messengers were furnished the different departments^ and other Scouts kept the refugees' in line. At the Armouries, crowded!., with refugee:; for several days,' Scouts helped prepare the meals, sup-' plied children with boiled drinking water, took charge of lost children; ran messages, swept the floors- Generally, "Their smiles, courteousness,1 willingness and quiet discipline earned appreciation and commendation)' on all sides." In other words, Lon-' don's Scouts lived up to the best, Scouting traditions when suddenly:' confronted with a serious test.

Without Vol-o-Pep Tablets the mileage was 22.2 miles per gallon. The increase per gallon effected by V«l-o-Pep was 27%. The same gasoline was used on both runs over the same roads and no adjustment of the carburetor made. Tests were conducted by a well known Toronto firm of Inspecting and Testing Engineers, whose name will be furnished on written request. Vol-o-Pep is in a convenient tablet form. Dropped in gasoline it completely dissolves, leaving no sediment whatsoever!. Recommended for use in autos, trucks, motorcycles, tractors and all gasoline and diesel engines- Send one dollar for a tin of Vol-o-Pep Tablets (65 tablets treat 65 gallons), use ten tablets and if you can not notice improvement in your car, return the balance and get your money back in full.
