Cartier Celebration Attracts Visitors Hundreds of persons from Ontario »nd points in Quebec will tiavel in » special Canadian National train, operated under the auspices of tbe newspaper "Le Devoir", Montreal, to participate in the great celebration to take place In Gaspe Bassin, Que- bec, Aug. 24 and 25, to commemorate tbe discovery of Canada by Jaccjues Cartier four hundred years ago. Tbe ladies in the party will, if present plans materialize, dress in tbe cos- tume of the French province from which their ancestors camn. thus lending a touch of romance to what promises to be a very colorful meet- ing. While local festivities will be ar- ranged at different points on the coast and the Bale de Chaluurs, ex- plored by the great discoverer, tbe main celebration will talce place at Gaspe, in presence of a larg*; delega- tion of Canadian officials and many distinguished Frenchmen, including members of tbe Cbambre des deputes, and French Academy and descend- ants ol families whose names are in- timately connected with th'r early history of Canada. The delegation from Prance will travel to Gaspe dir- ect on tbe "Champlain," palatial eteamer of the French Line, which will be anchored in Gaspe Bay from where the first contingent of Cana- dian Troops left tor France lu the fall of 1914. One of the features of the i:oiuiuem. orating ceremony will be the sea pageant which is scheduled tc take place at Gaspe on August 24, on the eve of the official unveiling of a mon- ument the foundation atone ot which will be brought over from Saini Malo, France, on board the "(Jham- plain."

B7 "BON SANTE" Writers on health ti.pics are say- ing a .01 these days about the value of taking hot water with a dash of lemon juice every aicrnniti:. It is sound advice, as nothing flut^hes the sys- tem better than hot water and the lemon luice aids the process as well as providing an excellent tonic for the system ano the nerves Taken first thing ill the morning, one or two cups followed by a few minutes exer- cise co'istttutps exceli-sn' aids to good health Hot water and lemon at other times during 'he day is never a mistake. In fact it IS an excellent thing if one experieii'.es any discomfort after eat- ng, and is particularly valuable iii relieving constipation. Tap water is always very refreshing, but hot wat- er, if available, has a better effect upon the system. While we should not like to go so far as to advocate no tea or coffee, it is well-known tha' experts all frown , upon any exce.ss ot these two delicious beverages, and certainly there ara times when iipt water and lemon would make a much more des irable drink from a health stand- point. Add some more lemon juice and you get irmonade â€" and what could be nicerâ€" ba< it is better plain or with very little sugar. With the sumniei here, there is a danger of overdointt the mattei of refreshing drinks, iced drinks in particular. Be very careful.

Essex.â€" Metthods of cultivation and cropping for the suppression of weeds always involve considerable time and labor and everyone concern- ed is looking for some easier way to eradicate weeds. Chemical weed kill- ers afford an easy means of destroy- ing small patches of certain persist- ent perennial weeds and ot killing many roadside weeds. ROTATION BEST Chemical weed killers, however, can never take the place ot good farming, including a suitable crop rotation, thorough cultivation and the maintenance of the fertility of the soil. The chemical weed killers with a sodium chlorate base have proved moat effective, but their cost in most cases prohibits their use on large areas. Some of them, however, are now used effectively, and it is claim- ed, economically, to destroy weeds on roadsides. Results of the experiments conduct- ed at tile Ontario -Agricultural Col- lege indicate that sodium chlorate can be used economically to destroy large areas of ox-eye daisy and wild carrot in pasture fields. Never use pure sodium chlorate any place where there is danger of fire, and observe great care In handling it. It is more dangerous than gasoline. It is highly inflammable and under some conditions explosive. Experiments have shown that the following weeds can be destroyed by using a chemical weed killer with a sodium chlorate base: Perennial sow thistle, wild carrot, ox-eye daisy, orange hawkweed, blueweed, field bindweed, wild chicory, twitch grass, poison ivy and Canada thistle, BEST SOLUTION In using chemical weed killer with a sodium chlorate base the solution should be made by dissolving half a pound of tbe wee^ killer in a gallon of water. This solution should be applied at the rate of approximately one gallon to 100 square feet. Perennial sow thistle can be de- stroyed by spraying the patob twice with a solution of a weed killer with a sodium chlorate base. Make the first application when the flower buds are well formed, but before any color is showing. Follow this with a second application about a month later. Blueweed, burdock, wild carrot, orange hawkweed and ox-eye daisy can be destroyed with one ap- plication of a weed killer with a sod- ium chlorate base. Spray tJiese weeds a day or two after the first blooms have appeared. Field bindweed and wild chicory re- quire to be sprayed twice with a weed killer with a sudium chlorate base. Spray the bindweed first when it is in full bloom and again about two monlh-i Inlpr sprav itif chicory the ARE YOU ON A Diet ?

It requires to be sprayed three times wit" a weed killer. Give the first application just as the twitch grass comes into ear, the second when two inches of new growth have appeared, and tlie third a month later. When three applications of the weed killer have been made there will be a residual effect upon the crop the next year, but this will not be noticed the second year after treatment. CANADA THISTLE Canada Ibistl' can be destroyed by scattering over the patches sodium chlorate crystals at the rate of a pound to 100 square feet. This should be done after a heavy frost in the fall, Poison ivy can usually be destroyed by giving one application ot a weed killer with a sodium chlorate base any time during the growing season. If the plants are sprayed during the early summer some new growth may appear in the fall, thus making nec- essary a second application. In ex- ceptional cases, where the poison ivy plants are very old and woody, an- other application may be necessary the following spring. When working with poison ivy gloves and rubber boots should be worn. Weeds in driveways, paths and ten- nis courts can be eradicated by giving a heavy application of a weed killer with i sodium chlorate base. The solutiou should be made by dissolving three pounds of the weed killer in one gallon of water, and it should be ap- plied at the rate of approximately one sallon per one hundred square feet. It Is well to beat Ln mind that all weed killers should be used with great care near treefa and valuable shrubs or other vegetation. These may be seriously injured if weeds near them are sprayed heavily with a weed killer. PRECAUTIONS NEEDED While it is claimed that weed kill- ers with a sodium chlorate base are not poisonous, a is advisable to keep livestock away from sprayed pastures or treated areas of weeds until sucb have veceived a heavy shower of rain. As a precautionary measure keep plenty of salt available to the live- stock is sodium chlorate bas a flavor very similar to common salt The oest results from chemical weed killers cannot be secured by ap- plying with an ordinary sprinkling can. fbey should be applied with a sprayer that delivers the solution in tbe form of a flue spray under press- rre, NOW- A THICKER, HEAVIER PLUG FOR THE SAME MONEY!

Six Year Old Is Wizard At Chess Wonders never cease and a strange tale comeg from Belgrade where the national chess competition had just closed. When the victory was being celebrated, the proprietor of the cafe asked the champion if he would play with his little boy. Magnanimously and with no little amusement th« champion consented. They brought out the boy, a grub- by little fellow, six years old, hard- ly as high as the table. Propping him up with cushions the professor laugh- ingly began the game. After a few moves the little chap laughed and clapped his hands, and said, "Hey mister, you're going to lose your queen," and a few more moves and he did. The professor then began to play in earnest, and it looked serious for the boy, till his father said to him, "If you win I'll give you 20 cents." The boy then set to work and when the game was over the champion was beaten and the 20 cent was in the boy's pocket. â€" Halifax Chronicle, Classified Advertising BUBXHSSB 70B 8AIVS (I2»> \i II I Flrst-clasa Restaurant, t]p^,,«7W Confectionery,, Tobaccos.
