Only u small amount of grain has been threshed but expectations of yield show a wide variations not only in different districts but in different parts of the same area. The wheat crop in south central, central and north eastern districts give promise of fair to good yields. Good progress has been made with wheat cutting. In eastern districts 70 to 80 per cent, has been cut. Tak- ing the province as a whole about GO per cent, of the wheat and JO per cent, of the coarse grains have been cut. In south eastern central and southern areas "bread" 'Aheats range from poor yields of low grade grain lo practically complete failures due to rust. Durum wheats have suffered lo a lesser extent. The northern district is also heavi- ly infected with rust and poor yields with greatly lowered grade are ex- pected. Infection liecomes lighter to- wards the northern portion of the cast central dislrict. In the west central district pro- longed drought has reduced the crop to little better than "feeil and seed" but some fair crops are still in pros- pect in tlie easterly and northerly sections of the west centra] district. Some injury from frost is feared. Crops vary wiiiely in north western areas from poor to gooil. Damage by the early frost is also anticipated a: points in this district. Coarse grains are reported in good condition and good yields particularly of oats arc expected. Livestock are in good condition but rain is needed for pastures in western districts.

"What can be done to prevent kidney disease?" writes Sir W. -Arbuthnot Lane. We should remem- ber that regular exercise is a great aid to healthy kidneys because, by speeding up the circulation, it causes the waste material to be washed out of the tissues and are so prevented from accumulating. Also, unhealthy skins and sluggish bowels throw ad- ditional work on the kidneys and their ill effects though slight are cumulative. Give your skin plenty of fresh air, sunlight and frequent baths and in this way you will make it "responsive" and a responsive skin is the best safeguard against chills. Never lose sight of the fact that high protein ration in the die- tary is harmful to the kidney cells. Experiments as well as experience have proved this fact. Therefore, be sparing with animal flesh foods and realize that milk, eggs and cheese are adequate substitutes. The abuse of alcohol is one of the commonest causes of kidney disease. This factor is obviously avoidable. Drink plenty of fresh water, six glasses a day be- tween meals is not too much, for water is an internal as well as an external purifier. At all costs cure your constipation if it exists and en- sure that you have no hidden nests of sepis in your teeth or elsewhere. Keep your blood pure and vital and you will greatly help to maintain your kRlneys healthy and efficient and diminish any chances of disease. .And finally, let me emphusize the necessity of a periodic medical ex- amination. Long before any obvious symptoms of kidney trouble arise, certain changes may be detected by examination of the urine and blood which are indicative of early disease. A timely medical overhaul may save the years of unhappiness and ill health which are the inevitable peji- alties of established kidney disease."

Analysis of the appropriations show that for t.'.ie increased expenditure of approximately $271,000,000 the Army and Navy will get more men, more airplanes, more warships, and some new etiuipmenf. HIGHER COSTS , Officials said, however, that a con- siderable part of the increa ed coat of maintaining Army and Navy ha« been made necessary by higher coaU^ of living and equipment, and restora-| tion of pay cuts. | Nearly $121,000,000 has been allot-' ted for continuing construction of 68' vessels now being built, and laying: keels of 24 more warships.

An easy way to decide proper measure for aggregates is to use a pail or small box. First ace how many times one sack of cement will nil your measure â€" t>'ien use (luanlilies of aggregate on that ba<;is of measurement. Tho right amount of aggregate is determined by trial. Try 1 sack of cement. 2 cu. ft. of sand and X ou. ft. of pebbles or broken stone, with the amount ot water as specllled above. If this mix is too stiff use less sand and pebbles in other bat- ches. If It l-i too wet add more sand and pebbles. Do not vary the quanti- ty of mixing water from Hie amounts given. The (Inal mixture s.'iould place readily yet require light tamping to get it to settle properly into Ihe forms. Sloppy mixes should be avoided. "Justice always rests firmly on freedom, and especially on free will."â€" G. K. Chesterton. Drs. Harry S. licrnton and Charles Thorn report that molds may also cause hay fever and other nasal dis- turbances. The particular molds which they studied are Alternaria, found in dust, and Trychophyton, a parasite known to produce ringw.irm of the scalp. The Alternaria may produce hay fever at any season of the year. Statistics show the amount of dust that settles on each (luartcr-mile of surface in a large city is about '200 tons. Since one of the molds studied occurs in dust its hay fever produc- ing possibilities are not to be light- ly dismi.ssed. 3n'i2 "I want to be ihorouglily used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more 1 live.
