Taylor Passed Away After Three Months' Illness Claremont, March 4, -- After an illness which confined him to bed for nearly three months, David Boyer Taylor, one of Clare- mont's former business men, died at his home here on Thursday morning, March 3rd. The late Mr. Taylor was born in Clare- mont and spent his early years here, then hig parents moved to Manitoulin Island where the fa- m'ly resided until the death of the father after which they re- turned to Claremont. Later the deceased opened a bake shop here and built up a thriving business which was extended to include a grocery and ice cream depart- ment. He carried on this busi- ness for several years, although his health had been failing for some time before he gave It up fast autumn. Being of a kind and generous disposition, the late Mr. Taylor won. for himself a wide circle of friends, and was a general favorite with the chil- dren of the village. After his return to Claremont he was mar- ried to Siverina Saddler, who prédeceased him only a few weeks ago, He is survived by one brother, Dougall, of Sault Ste. Marie and two sisters, Mrs. Com- ba, of Oakville, and Mrs. Tamb- Jyn of Rochester, New York, The funeral service will be held Sat- urday afternoon, March 6th, in the United Church of which he wee a member, with interment in the Claremont Union Ceme- tory.

Clark, Lecturer Horticulture, Ontario Dept, of Agriculture) Garden enthusiasts of many countries are turning to Rock Gardens as the most interesting and beautiful form of horticul- tural endeavor, In this, we heartl- ly concur. No other garden fills the spring with more beauty, has a more lasting character and fur- nighes better material for hardi- ness and outdoor decoration, Their popularity is rapidly in- creasing and the many beautiful plants found in the Rock Garden are more appreciated each year, The introduction of many wonder- ful plants from Europe and Alp- ine heights ig helping to extend this form of gardening, For rug- ged and picturesque beauty this minfature alpine garden is not to be surpassed. The reasons for the rapid rise to popularity of the Rockery are many, Rock Gardens do not re- quire tearing out every few years for renewal of soil, Mulches and fertilizers are almost unnecessary. Plants that thrive best in thi form of garden require litle in the way of manuring, many even d>ing better in poor soil than in rich loam. Spraying, which is un- pleasant to most people, is prac- tically unknown in this form of garden. Many of the finest Alpine plants require a very dry condi tion, hence the need of constant watering i8 not necessary. The chief charm of the Rock Garden lays in the wonderful plants that may be classed among the most beautiful of all hardy flowers. Attractive dwarf plants that will succeed in any soll, forming tufts of bright green foll- age from which innumerable flowers appear in dense heads, Other desirable plants ure of free and graceful habit producing long, slender, much-branched stems and marvellously free-flow- ering, such as Heuchera sanguin- ea, Aubretia and Gypsophila rep- ens, Then in the Rock Garden can be used many of the daintiest and most delicately beautiful of hardy plants, the interesting dwarf, creeping perennials for carpeting bare spots over the dwarf bulbs which flower early and pass on leaving vacant patches Again there are distinct species which have attracted much attention by their unique habit of growth, their floriferousness and lateness of flowering. Cushion-like plants 2 1-2 ft. across producing a mass effect of brilliant flowers in great profusfon, make the rockery an unexcelled picture in spring and summer, There are many indispensable perennials which can he planted satisfactorily only in a rock gar- den. Noble in their wonderful foliape and flowers, demanding perhaps to be planted in between two rocks where. their roots may search for moistre and nourish- ment deep in the fissure, Such dwarf novelties as Ramondia py- renalca are lost in a perennial border, Position and Arrangement The requirements as to posi- tion of the Rock Garden are not hard to meet, A very gentle slope or hillside affords a charming site where many fascinating little plants can be grown to perfec- tion, or let us suppose that we have a rockery bank which may even be a sort of retaining wall; perhaps a small brook 'whose banks we would like to plant, this is an ideal location. Again suit- able gardens cannot he made on hot, dry and sunny slopes or in- clines with success, yet in such a location many of the rock plants thrive to the best advantage. Planting material such as laven- der-pink Dianthus speclosus cov- ered with finely cut howers, which are wonderfully sweet-scented, do exceptionally well in. a hot dry position, Rock plants are mostly sun-lov- ing and are easily grown if not disturbed about the roots by ecul- tivation. The most satisfactory exposure would be a southern one, but when properly built the rock garden may have pockets and fiseres with exposures to all points of the compass in order to accommodate shade-loving plants such as some of the Primulas and hardy Orchids. Kind of Rock to Use Weathered and waterworn limestone is the most satisfactory material for construction pur- poses. This grey mountain lime- stone with coarse strata beauti- fully weathered into quaint and delightful pockets, ledges and fissures by the action of storms and water over a great period of years, is ideal. By the use of this kind of stone the rock garden ae- sumes that old and weathered ap- pearance which is half the charm, In the event of no limestone such as the above being procur- able, pleasing effects are made by using boulders and weather beaten stone laid at random to hold a very steep bank about a house or other artificlal object. The spaces may then be filled with good soll and rock-loving plants, induced to grow, Only the weathered faces should he loft above ground unless the rock has just been broken. Avoid granite, hard field stone anth rocks carry- ing sparkling crystals, rather choose rocks with- an aged ap- pearance and an open porous sur- face which will absorb moisture. Construction of Garden On no account should a Rock Garden be built in the centre of a lawn, The arrangement of such a garden should conform io na- ture's grouping. There should be no attempt at precision and the look of extreme tidiness which spoils everything but the most formal plan should be strictly avoided, as any attempt at -for- mal design will most certainly re- sult in failure no matter how carefully it may be planned. The finished scheme should be dis- tinguished by character and nat- ural charm. : Good drainage {s essential and should be provided by incorpor- ating coarse cinders, gravel and broken limestone in the centre area of the rockery and well down towards the hare, thie will insure | in away. Alpine plants do not suffer from cold but many perish very quickly on sodden ground. A study of natural arrange- ment of rocks suggests that they should be of many sizes If the garden is to be interesting, Wher- ever there is a steep slope, several large rocks at the base will pre- vent the soil from washing. There should be no crowding of the rocks or th effect will be heavy, no stone should stand on end, in- stead each should le on Its broadest base. The problem {x to build up the rocks informally and with soil between them. They should never be arranged in cor- rect tiers, nor should the direc- tion of the strata in the rock be seriously changed. The strata fis usually to be seen running east and west, Pockets and fissures should be filled with a rather rich, not too light soll, consisting of good loam and one-fourth well rotted man- ure. Incorporate very fine chips of limestone, coarse sand and grav- el, It is also advisable to mix in a little peat moss and make sure all crevices and fissures open into areas of soil, No further fertili- zers are necessary when these soll mixtures are used, No stone should stand out too prominently as each rock should overlap another and should con- form to the natural aspect of the design. The rocks may be buried one-third of their depth. When finished the garden should be pleasingly frregular to give jt a natural appearance the land sloping sufficiently in all parts to provide rapid surface drainage. The slopes should not be too steep in order to permit the rain to penetrate the soll. Autumn is the most satisfac tory time of year to construct a rock garden, for if all the work is performed then and left to stand over winter, the goil and rocks will become settled by spring and the garden will be in good condition for planting. Planting Material The material for planting in this form of garden is almost un- limited as Alpine plants of many species and varleties may be numbered by the thousands. Species or. varieties that are re- markable by reason of great rar- ity rather than beauty rhould be carefully avoided by the amateur, Plants of easy cultivation and those which will give a good dis- play ought first to be grown hy the beginner, then, as taught by experience, the finer and novelty plants may be secured. It is well to grow in the rock garden some of the interesting little plants which draw much attention, such as Sedums, Saxiiragas and Sem- pervivums, Special pockets of goil may la- ter be provided for plants de- manding certain requirements, but where the average good soll exists, It fs seldom necessary to make any additional provision. Distinetly "rock-loving plants must have the conditfong which they like. Thete should be suppli- ed them in order to insure suc- COS8, Many fine litte bulbs may find a congenial home in pockets of s0il or hidden away undcr patch- es of Sedums or Thymus, Bulbs sch as Snowdrops, Scillas, Crocs, Muscari, Chicaodoxa, Ixfolirion, and the beautiful Iris Reticulata add materially to the glorious beauty of he rock garden, These bulbs should all be planted in the autumn, Perennials like Erinus Alpinus, which forms pretty rosettes of fo- lage and rosy purple flowers, can be grown with ease on a stone wall or hetween stone steps in the rock garden, Gypsophila repens proves a beautiful trailing plant for placing in a small pocket of soil and in July and August be- comes a cloud of small whits and pink flowers. Iris cristata is a dainty native creeping species about three inches in height, blooming with amethyst - blue flowers in May. Iris pumila grows about four inches high blooming about the same. time in white, yellow and violet-blue, Depending on the situation and the amount of space available, some shrubs might be included. The best rock garden shrubs are found amongst the ' evergreens. Juniperus horizontalis and sabi- na are good, the Mugho or Dwarf Mountain Pine and 'the Dwarf Thuyas may be included. The Retinosporas are particularly fine for rock planting, as is also the Japanese Yew, taxus cuspidata. ELEVATOR SERVICE GIVEN FOR SALMON Washington, D.C., March 5.-- Salmon get 'elevator service" when they want to get over the 253-foot dam in the Baker Riv- er, State of Washington. Each year in the spawning sea- son the fish must come in from the ocean to Baker Lake behind the dam to lay their eggs. Fish "Indders," a series of pools, each higher than the next, help the firsh around ordinary dams but the Baker River dam {is too high. The fish climb a ladder to rise the first 100 feet at the Baker dam, then swim into a steel tank mounted on wheels, When the tank becomes full of fish it is drawn up to.the top .of the dam where the fish are released in- to the lake. The 100-foot *lad- der" has guards to keep the flan from being carried back down. stream hy the current when they become tired while leaping from pool to pool. DID 17,400 DUTIES IN COURSE OF YEAR Washington, D.C. An as tounding record of activities for a. year has been kept by ¥. E. Lurton, Superintendent of Schools, Frazee. Minnesota, Some of the things Lurton did were! make telephone calls, an- swer letters, confer with teach- ers, visit classrooms, confer with parents and students, receive calls from salesmen, hold teach- ers meetings, find jobs for stu- dents, attend board meetings, put out circulars to teachers, check the excess water being drained | 1¢port cards, audit bills, attend | tional NEED OF TRAINING IN INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE STRESSED Dr. H. M. Tory Explains Activities of the National Research Council Montreal, Que.,, Mar, 4.---Na- tions which in the future neglect to train men in industrial science are hound to become hewers of wood and drawers of water for those countries who have acted upon the knowledge that there is a very definite scientific rela- tion between national progress and evolution, So sald, Dr. H. M. Tory, president of the National Research Council, and former president of the University of Alberta, speaking before mem- bers of the Cercle Universitaire here recently. According to long-established custom the Cercle invites, once a year, an English-speaking citi- zen of prominence to address its members, Dr. Tory was called upon this time and dealt with the wide ramifications of the body over which he presides and tiie high calibre of the men who fill respective offices in the couns ell. During the past year, Dr. Tory stated, scientific and industrial research has been receiving more attention as the various agencies, govermental, university, and pri- vate, expanded their activities, Taking the lead was the National Research Council which, the speaker recalled, had heen estab- lished in December 1916, by the Dominion Government, The con- tinued expansion of the council's external activities was evidenced by the formation during the year of committees on hiophysics, gas research, honey, leather, maple syrup, Trail smelter smoke, and weed control, He was pleased to make the announcement, the speaker said, that construction on the Na- Research laboratories on a 10-acre site near the conflu- enee of the Ottawa and Rideau rivers in Ottawa was proceeding rapidly. Some people had opined, he went on, that construction of this vast edifice was hardly worthwhile. With them he differ- ed. He pointed out that the mo- ment a large problem presented itself, universities and private concerns were unable to cope with the situation. The new edifice, ha continued, would be the national head quart- ers for selence and would cause sclence to take Its proper place in the machinery of national life, Most modern movements grew out of the war, Dr, Tory averred, and It was in 1916-17, that the allied counties, knowing them- selves to he outstripped in science, formed organizations backed by their respective gov. ernments for the advance of science. The alms of these bodies were twofold! firstly, to gecure a deep knowledge of the scientific problems of war, and secondly, to provide for the future so as to bring science to bear upon the development of the resources of the various countries, The council began in Canada with a vrey definite plan in view, the speaker emphasized. This was to train men with scientific lean- ings along lines: of industrial science, A survey had showed, he sald, that the Dominion was short of men trained in industry, and that while undergraduate colleges throughout the land com- pared favourably with those of any other country, - the under- graduate colleges could not meas- ure up to the standards set by European and American institu- tions of this type. In order to give the best men an opportunity here in Canada, the speaker declared, a system of scholarship was formed and thrown open to university stu- dents throughout the Dominion. In. a period of 10 years, 350 men had been trajned and scholar. ships provided for those who dis- played outstanding capacity to learn. Of these, he sald, 85 per cent. had since found remunera- tive employment in governments or universities, Interest was stimulated In university men, Dr. Tory stated, due to the fact that where before it was impossible for them to se- cure assistance, the council would provide funds and equipment to & man who had been proven to have something really worth. while in hand, Over 100 re- searches had been brought to sue- cessful completion in this man- ner, Dr. Tory remarked, and he believed this to be a proud rec- ord. : The council had also brought about something of a new de- parture--a co-operative scheme of research, Dr. Tory stated. This was nothing more nor less than the calling upon of various leaders in science to discuss im- portant questions affecting na- tional welfare, Prominent men had frequently accepted invita- tions to join in these discussions, and Dr. Tory recalled but one in- stance where he had been met with a refusal. He took occasion at this juncturo to pay special tribute to French-Canadgan sclen- tists with whom, he said, he had always got along exceedingly well, Connected with the council, the speaker concluded, were men of high calibre and worth. To quality for a post on the council, the applicant had to have several to sick children, examine texts, wake reports, Lurton in addition to these oec- cupations, kept an account of each minute transaction and found out he had performed 17,- 407 epecific duties in the year, BRITON CLANS | CRIN IS ING IN UNITED STATES Collinson Owen Says Crim- inal Army Numbers 1,000,000 New York, N.Y., March 5.--A eriminal army of 1,000,000 per- sons is operating in the United States, and '25,000 gangsters alone have died by gun-fire since prohibition came in," the British reading public has been told by Collinson Owen, an Englishman writing on crime in this country, Mr, Owen's book was published last year in England and has just been brought out here, The Sunday Times, London, is quoted on the book jacket as having reported that "King Crime" will find an enduring place in the sociological litera- ture of the Twentieth Century." "The handsome, grey-haired American who is staying at the Savoy Hotel, London, with his smart wife and charming daugh- ter," Mr. Owen writes '"'--well, hig fecundations may easily be knee-deep in the mire of the underworld. What is more, he may be only vaguely aware that this really matters, He has never been used to anything else. "King Crime is enthroned, and his influence extends over the whole vast country, but checking very abruptly at the Canadian horder and not flowing over even into Mexico. Of the "criminal army" he ad- mits that "exact statistics are Imposeible to get" but that the figure of 1,000,000 "is not go fan- tastic as it first sounds, and it may easily be an under-state- ment." The army is made up of those "actively engaged In crime or directly dependent on it." "Three months careful garner- Ing through the newspapers of the United States," Mr. Owen re- ports, "would give more out- s'anding 'stories' of startling, violent or.romantie crimes than the annals of Scotland Yard | rould show in fifty years. The | Sunday newspaper readers of | England are apparently fond | enough--to judge by the supply of such matter--of reading about English crimes of the past. But to serve this market, the same old crimes have to be told and re-told over and over again It is almost pathetic, : "To find anything approach- Ing.a real 'gunman' we must go back to the remote days of Charles Peace.

PAIN like INDIGESTION What many call indigestion is very often nothing but excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have heen over-stimulatéd, and food sours. You feel distress when, you leave the table, Two hours later there is often acute pain. But you meed not suffer when you know what to do. The corrective is an alkall, which neutralizes acids instantly, The hest alkall known to medic] science Is Phillips' Milk of Magne- sla. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali will neutralize in- stantly many times as much acid, and the symptoms disappear at once, The stomach is soothed. All sourness and gas is dispelled, The entire digestive tract is sweeten- ed by magnesia in this form, PHILLIPS Phillips' Milk of Magnesia is magnesia in perfect suspension, It's the. gcientific and sensible thing to take for the relief of acidity. You have the word of highest medical authority for this. Be careful to ask for Phillips' Milk of Magnesia, the preparn- tion of magnesia prescribed and used by physicians for the correc- tion of excess acids, Every mother should know ecer- tain uses of this preparation.

A farmer, E. Lindgren and his hired man ran across the hoard while collecting flag stones for a bridge. Dr. John Nihlsen, a Swdelsh historical museum arch- aeologist, Investigated Strips of silver, rings, and fragments of a necklace were among the findings, Most of the coins were of German origin, and the insignia of Emperor Ott III, who died in 1002 were plain- ly visible. Anglo-Saxon coins in the pile bore the name of King Canute, who is supposed to have bade the tides await his pleasure, A spinster was entertaining a number of little girls from a char- itable institution, and after lunch, she conducted them over the house which contained many objects of art and interest, "This" said the spinster, indicating a statue, "is Minerva." "Was Minerva married ?" asked one of the little girls. 'No, my child," said the spinster, with a smile: "Minerva was the Goddess of Wisdom!" "I've got just the horse for you," said a liveryman to a German farms er who was a prospective customer, "He's five years old, sound as a, bell, and goes ten miles without stopping." The German shook his head. "Nod for me," he said, "nod and con- | has vet been written?" for me! 1 lif eight miles from town | out, and mit dot horse I haf to valk | back two miles!"

"NOW we can advertise it"' Products are nearly always put on the market before they are ad- vertised. Quite frequently, changes have to be made in an article before the public generally will accept it. Color, design, flavor-- those are some of the things the public has to be consulted about. Sometimes a product won't sell at all and simply has to be discon- tinued. As soon as people show that they welcome an article and as soon as all refinements and improvements have been added, then you could hear the manufacturer say, if you could be in his office, "Now we can advertise." When you buy advertised goods, you may know they have gone through the experimental stages. You may be sure that the manufac. turer knows they are right and that he is willing to stake his reputa- tion on them. You may be confident that you are buying goods that have sold and that would continue to sell without any advertising at all. For advertising merely lets all the people know--now--what considerable numbers would find out by word of mouth ten years Of course, advertising goes a step farther. Word of mouth hardly ever tells all the uses of a product. It often doesn't give the real reasons for its superiority. Advertising tells people all about a product and the numerous ways in which they can use it. Whatever you buy, therefore, let the advertisements be your guide. When the manufacturer says, "Now we can advertise it," you know that you can safely say, "Now we can buy it."
