Do Good, Otherwise "Daily Dozen." Unless she plays golf and tennis, rides a horse or swims in the sum- mer and goes to a gymnasium re- gularly during the winter, to re- exercise at home. Outside of ac- tive sports, there is no substitute. Diets may cause you to. lose abdominal muscles or keep: your. waistline reed-like and graceful, Furthermore, while you can starve pounds off your stomach and arms, you'll find that surplus flesh on hips . and thighs comes off more rapidly and leaves your figure much more _attractive 'if you have supplemented the diet with proper exercise. First check your weight and mea- surements to decide how many pounds you want to lose and where you want to lose them, Then see your doctor to find out if diet and exercise will be good for you. CONSULT DOCTOR Never go.in for liquid diets or any other strenuous regime without first geting a physician's permission. Having taken these preliminary steps, decide what kind of exer- cises you need. ; There are two dategories, of course." Some are intended to re- duce your figure in spots. Others keep you supple and graceful but do not necessarily take off pounds or inches. Two-purpose exercises that do both are time-savers indeed. For the waistline--to reduce it and to make it flexible--the pend- ing exercises are best. Stand erect with heels together. Then, without bending, knees, reach forward and touch the floor with fingertips. Re- the original position before each bend® Now spread your feet wide apart, holding arms outward at "shoulder level. Without kending knees or moving feet, twist your body to the left, making fingertips on right hand touch left foot. Go back to the first position; then reverse, touching right foot with left hand. Repeat several times, Remember to keep your knees straight and to make . wide, sweeping gestures as you swing downward and forward each time. Afterward stand with feet apart llevel. Bending the left knee slight- ly, stretch your right arm behind your back, making fingers touch the calf of your left leg. Keep the right leg still. Reverse, keeping the left leg straight, bending the right knee 'and forcing left hand to touch right calf. . Exercises that are done on the floor are best for the hips. Lie flat, with arms outstretched, and ankles together. Holding = the left leg straight, raise the right one forward. Then cross it over the left, pointing right toes outward at the sides. The left hip should remain flat on the floor. The right knee shouldn't bend. teverse, crossing the left leg over right. Repeat 30 times. When you have finished bring knees upward to your chest, holding them firmly with your arms. Keep- ing shoulders and head hard against the floor, roll hips from side to side, pressing 'them downward as you do 80. Teel the way this massages flabby flesh. You can vary the roliing exercises for the hips. Clasp hands above your head, hold ankles firmly "to- gether on the floov; and, without moving shoulders, roll hips back and forth several times. : Numerous Snake 'Bites Finally Kill Reptile Expert ROYAL OAK, Mich, -- Romeo Sampson 49, laughed many times af. ter he was bitten by deadly snakes, but the reptiles had the last laugh recently, and Sampson is dead.

What is your standard? Every- thing in life depends on that, Consider an extract from a letter which lies on my de:k before me now.- It comes from a young man twenty-four years of age, He writes: "My people have always been faith. ful to the church. Until now our dea- corns have all been older men, but recently another young man, about thirty, and myself--I am twenty-four, were elected deacons. An older man in the congregation thinks we ought not to have been put on the Board. Now he is trying to stir up trouble. | have aways believed him to be a good Christian, although he is very narrow and does not dp some things that we would. do. He says we are never known anything but the Christian life. What .would you say or do if you were in my place?" There is always something to be said in-favor of older- men on Church Boards because of the mature exper. ience of age. But | have seen Church Boards going to "dry rot" for want (£4. gome. young blood. : As for the old fellow who thinks these young fellows ought not to ba on the Board, he should remember that their election was the voice ot the Church or of the governing body of the Church, and be content to abide by that. Every man has a standard. Some men adopt false standards and think themselves to be a great deal better than they are. Indeed there are few men who are able to form a true estimate of themselves. Didn't Saint .Paul counsel the Romans "Not to think more hifly of themselves than they ought to think?" In every church there are those who do that. Unfortunately, there are of- ten those who encourage them, But what we need, not only in church, but everywhere, is to have a true es- timate of ourselves. A true estimate modesty. It will also prevent us from developing an aggressive and over- bearing spirit. ' Determine your standard. Fix your ideal clearly in your mind--and make for that. That will determine char- acter.

BARLEY VS. CORN FOR POULTRY By W. W. BAIRD Superintendent, Dominion Experi- mental I'arm, Nappan; N. S. A feeding trial was started at the Dominion Experimental Farm at Nappan, N.S., in the fal] of 1930, with the object of determining the relative values of barley and corn in poultry rations. Two pens of pullets were selected cach fall for this tést. They were sisters or half-sisters and as uniform in size and age as it was possible to select them. Pen 1 was fed a dry mash made up as follows; 11 pounds each of bran, shorts, middlings, corn meal and crushed oats, 50 pounds each of beef meal and charcoal, 25 pounds each of fish meal and dried buttermilk, 15 pounds of bonemeal, 5 pounds salt and one gallon of cod liver oil. The grain ration was 200 pounds each of wheat, and cracked corn and 100 pounds of oats. Pen 2 received the same ration except that cracked corn in the grain ration was replaced by the same weight of whole barley and the corn meal in the dry mash was replaced by ground barley meal. In addition to the a- forementioned rations, each pen had free access to. oyster shell and grit; alzo green feed, such as mangels, cabbage, 'savedes, cut clover or sprouted oats. ' Averaging the three years' resuits, the pen receiving corn in their ration consumed an -average of 3079 pounds of feed at a cost of $40.60 and laid an average of 4461 eggs, having a market value of $71.24, leaving a profit over feed cost of $30.64. The average feed cost per dozen was 11.61 cents. Pen 2, with the same number of birds, consumed on the average 3320 pounds of feed at a cost . of $44.40 and laid an average of 4627 eggs, with a market value of $74.68, leaving a profit' over feed cost of $30.27. The average feed cost per dozen was 11,62 cents. The average cost of the corn was $1.46 and of the barley $1.41 per hundredweight. . The results of the three years feeding test . would indicate that barley may be used very successful- ly to replace corn in the poultry ration.

"Never lose sight of grand objec- ives in personal or particular quar- rels."--Charles A. Beard, "FOUR-CORNERED" TRADE DEALINGS The ways of modern international trade are devious and the disposal of Canadian agricultural and other products entails the knowledge of many methods. er example, if Canada desires to trade with Ger- many, the "barter" or "compen- sation" trade, or the "four-cornered transaction" has to be brought into play. This method of trade, en- courage by the German government, is best explained by a concrete ex- ample given by the Canadian Gov- ernment Trade Commissioner in Germany, .as follows: A German import firm, for ex- ample, wishes to. purchase Canadizn apples. It 1s able to establish a cou nection with a manufacturer of chemicals dog regular business in Canada. With this chemical firm's agreement and co-operation, an ap- plication is filed with the German Government Supervising Office con- cerned with fresh fruit and similar commodities, showing evidence of contracts for the sale of chemicais in the Canadian market and request- ing authority for the purchase of stipulated ~quantities of Canadian apples at specified prices. It is also desirable to indicate that the trans- action will assist the export of larger amounts of chemicals than could otherwise be arranged. Permission for the export .deal having been obtained, the: Canadian purchaser of chemicals is .then ad- vised to pay, through a bank as trustee or in some similar manner, makes payment to the manufacturer of chemicals. There is thus a "four- cornered" transaction involving an exchange of goods: between Canada and Germany but entailing no fur- ther transfer of funds than from one Canadian and one German firm to another and the remittance from Canada to Germany of the excess value of Canadian imports over ex- ports. Such transaction, it must be noted, says the Canadian Trade = be, = anlect (of [C74 Y 23 0 i OO oY od =f = 3 0 0 5 0 0, 0 Ns CUTWORMS Infesting Areas Of Southern Ontario. -- Poisoned Bran Bait Being Applied. An unusual cutworm infestation is occuring in certain parts of southern Ontario. Reports of damage so far have come to hand from near Wel- laceburg, St. Thomas and Harrow, In the Wallaceburg district, says Geo, M. Stirrett, Dominion Entomological Laboratory, Chatham, Ontario, the cutworms are leaving grain and clov- er fields and migrating {into sugar- beet fields, corn fields or adjacent crops. In_ the Harrow district they have been reported on garden truck, So far, the most injury has occurred to sugar-beets, In several fields a few of the outer rows of beet plants have been stripped of their leaves and in some cases even the crown has been eaten. The larvae feed mostly at night and remain under clods of earth at the base of the plants in the daytime. On dull days some feed- ing occurs. From reports already -received, 1t is thought that the insect is present in great numbers in- many sections, There is no cause for alarm, how- ever, as all that {s needed {3 the prompt application of the proper con- trol measure which is the application of poisoned bran to the flelds where the cutworms are feeding or to the rows of sugar-beets or other crops. Poisoned bran bait {s made by mix- ing bran -- 25 Ibs.; Paris Green -- 141b.; and molasses -- 1 qt.; to which i; added enovgh water to make the mixture moist and crumbly, but not wet. It generally requires about 2i% gallons of water for each 25 Ibs. of bran, All ingredients should be thor. oughly mixed. The bait is then thin- ly spread on the soil along the sugar- beet rows or broadcast over the fields where the cutworms are feeding. The bait must be applied in the evening so that it will he moist and attractive 'en the cutworms are active. They will not eat dried-out. bait. In broad- casting, - 26 Ibs. of bran 'will treat from one to one and a half acres, but when applied to rows of plants it will not do nearly as large an area. All that {8 needed is a small quantity of bait spread thinly along the plant rows, If the cutworms are very abundant, | crops such as sugar-beets should be protected by a dusty furrow, as is used in armyworm control. - Plough a deep furrow around. the fleld from which the cutworms are migrating, keeping the land-side of the furrow toward the crop to be protected. Af. ter the furrow is ploughed, a log should be dragged back and forth in it until a good dust much is obtained. The larvae are unable to make their way up the steep dusty side of the furrow, If the worms are very num- erous, holes could be dug in the bot- tom of the furrow at short intervals. The worms will fall into these where they may be killed. Worms also can be killed as they enter the furrow by spreading poisoned bran bait along it edge. Poultry and livestock must be kept away from the areas where poisoned bait is used as they will readily eat it. Nature is helping considerably in the control of this cutworm as many. Commissioner, may be completed 'by one Canadian and one German firm, who both buy and sell from and to cach other. or by one firm in one country and two in the other, but Pit has to date been more common for the transactions to be of the "four- cornered" type.

Where crops are being destroyed, however, a farmer cannot wait for Nature/s slower remedy, but should apply poisoned, bait promptly.

Rockefeller, Senior, who arrived at millionairedom so young that men now nearly elghty have deard him called the world's richest man since they were boys. He is no longer the world's only billionaire, having been joined on that eminence by Henry of the ubiquitous Ford. He is no longer among the masters of finance, having been [n retirement: for twenty-four years; his la t iin. ancial triumph having been to show Judge Landis, yes, even Czar Kene- saw Mountain Landis, that he wouv!d have to get up much earier in the morning if he hoped successfuly to ine John D.

It means that 72, when most men still look reasonab'y. young, Rocie- feller looked at least twenty years older than his age. He was 1cady for the grave then. But instead ot going to the grave, he brought the ixed habits of his life, frugality and regularity, into perhaps the mest in- ten eg concentration ever witnessed, upon the mere feat of keeping alive.
