The amcunt of liquid which you will need depends upon whether you are goâ€" ing to roll or drop your biscuits. If they are to be rolled, use just enough to make a dough which can be easily handled. In the second case, you will, of course, need more liquid which may be either milk or water. If you are going to roll and cut your biscuits, you may either pat out your dough, or you may knead it slightly, depending upon what texture you like. (By EDITH M.

Motion picture firms have recently been making movies based on famous books. Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare have both come in for large share and no one could have deâ€" served this better. But although the films have been well directed and perâ€" formed, a picture that lasts only tw hours could never possibly hope to give the public the great entertainment that the book upon which it is based will give to the reader. "A Tale of Tw Cities" was an exceptional screen sucâ€" cess, but to one who had read the book. the film was rather a disappointment because so much of interest was lefi out.: Dickens and Shakespeare are both read ‘by people of every nationality and of every sccial standing in the world. tend to create high ideals and standards, and are enjoyable reading However, very many people are frightâ€" ened by the "old English" that Shakeâ€" speare uses. His gems of wisdom and umour are ample reward for reading these seemingly difficult wordings. . This is only one of the many times in which this has happened. Ruskin says, "It is appointed for al. men to enjoy, but for few to achieve." There are few authors who have atâ€" tained such success as Dickens and Ehakespeare. â€" Both write a different type of literatureâ€"Dickens, prose. Shakespeare, poetry. But for the priâ€" vilege of being able to enjoy what they have achieved, one should be willing to devote some time and thought to the perusal of their works. Dickens is very interesting, and all his books offer ‘both drama and adâ€" venture. Rich biscuit dough If You Like Books Raisins Scones (By A. H.)

The youngster was pale, thin, restless, and had no appetite. In speaking of the principal causes of excessive nervousness in children Dr. Emmett Holt in his book ‘"The Care and Feeding of Children," says:â€"‘"The most important predisposing causes of exâ€" cessive nervousness are an inherited nervous constitution, and the delicate structure and rapid growth of the brain in early life. It should be remembered that the brain grows as much during the first year as during all the rest of life." In addition there may be local causes of restlessness or sleeplessness at night such as too many or not enough bedâ€" clothes, an unventilated or poorly venâ€" tilated room, and noises .of various The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Vols. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7,â€"Poe.

Objects to: Recent Changes in the Mining Act. The board feels that the new regulaâ€" tions are not doing anything to assist the industry, and that they have alâ€" ready had a severe effect on the mining business, and that the department in this instance intead of assisting is actually doing harm. The board recomâ€" mends the repeal of the regulations which interfere with stakers and ownâ€" €ers of mining property, and demands that the aforesaid have the same right to negotiate for the sale of their proâ€" perty as have vendors of other property. The board believes that the provision that reassnable cash disbursements may be given to the actual staker of the claims will, in practice, place a club in the hands of the promoter or buyer, whereby the cash consideration to the staker of the claims will be cut to the minimum. Pembroke Standard:â€"We think that a tax of eight cents per gallon on gasoâ€" line is too high, yet in P. E. Island it has been raised to ten cents. The board feels that the sale of minâ€" ing claims should be regulated by the same laws that govern other contracts, and that prospectors, owners or syndiâ€" cates should be able to dispose of his or their property for as much cash or terms such as he or they think best. (‘The belief is that the Ontario Securiâ€" ty Commissioner has been vested with too much power). Declared unworkable and a detriment to the mining industry of Northern Ontario, the Hepburn government‘s reâ€" centlyâ€"enacted amendment to the Minâ€" ing Act has drawn bitter criticism from the district and prompted the New Lisâ€" keard Board of Trade to draft a reâ€" sclution urging repeal of the regulaâ€" tions, which they state interfere with stakers and owners of mining proâ€" perty. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Northern Ontario Associated EBoard, Ontario Associated Board, Onâ€" tario Mining Association, and members of the Ontario cabinet, seeking coâ€"operâ€" ation in having the government repeal the regulations. The amendment has already caused consideraAble grief in the New Liskeard district in the way of deals for mining property and claim promotions, while several cthers are being held in abeyâ€" ance pending advice from the Ontario Securities Commission. Drafted by Committee The resolution, drafted by a commitâ€" tee of three appointed by the Trade Board, included a member of the Onâ€" tario Prospectors‘ Association who has been in touch with the government in seeking some reasonable adjustment. The resolution objects io the new reâ€" gulations in their entirety arnd in parâ€" to clause three (3) restricting the cash payment to the owner or stakâ€" er of mining claims to the amount of cash actually spent on the said claims by the ocwners or staker. Excerpts from the lengthy resolution are: The Board of Trade state in the resolution that they fully appreciate the efforts of the Ontario Securities Commission to curb dishonest pracâ€" tices in connection with the mining inâ€" dustry, but that the new regulations have already interfered with several mining deals in this vicinity, and that prospective buyers have ceased negoâ€" tiations with vendors, and that other deals partly completed have been blockâ€" Strong Addresses at Meeting Here (Continued from Page One) have to put our own men there. The time is here when Canadian workers should see to it that they get support." The International Phase Discussing the international phase of the union, Mr. Anderson said, in part:. "An international union is necessary beâ€" cause labour is â€" international. They: don‘t belong to Canada alone but to the whole world. Is capital a national thing? Nothing is so international as financing. Nothing is so solidly welded against labour as capital. There is unity among millionnaires." He spoke of W. H. Wright, owner of the Globe and Mail who "made millions out Oof the sweat and blcod ¢of miners" and then said he was going to take his perâ€" sonal fortune out of Canada to the Channel Islands where it could not be so heavily taxed. "We ask for more money for the miners, so that more mcney will stay in this community and more money will stay in our country. Who is the patriot? the one who would zeep money here, or the one who would toke it away?" "It is true we ship 25 cents per member per month to the United States. That‘s where the money came from to start tnis movement off." He had attended a convention at Butte, Coloradc, where No. 1 lscal, with 4800 men, gave $1000 to help organize the hardrock miners of Northern Ontario. Some had said they were willing to quit their jobs in the United States, come to Canada, get jobs in the mines here and help to organize. Mr. Lawson commented that all the unions in Northern Ontario are growâ€" ing more quickly now because of the premier‘s attitude toward the Oshawa strikers and the C.I.O. The Furrow:â€"Farmer‘s Wife: "If you can‘t sleep, count sheep." Farmer: "I did that last night. I counted 10,000 sheep and put them in cars and shipped them to market, By the time IT‘d figâ€" ured up my losses, it was time to get up and milk!" Of Mr. Hepburn‘s formation of a special reserve police force in Toronto, Mr. Armstrong had much to say that drew laughs and applause from the audience. "He‘s using the basement of the parliament buildings to train an @army . . . They use dummies to pracâ€" tice on with their billies. He hopes to practise on cur heads but the first time he hits a labour man over the head, there‘s going to be trouble. Every worker who earns his daily bread by toil will rise and exterminate the man! . .. Hepburn in this move atâ€" tempts to set back the hands of time a hundred years ... He didn‘t take into azcount that our forefathers died to get us the liberty we have toâ€"day . . . Dictator Hepburn sowed the first seeds of fascism in this province. As long as organized labour has breath we‘ll crush it." The policy of C.I.O. unions is dicâ€" tated by the members themselves, the speaker claimed. "The leaders must do what the men want or get off the horse." "In a year or so we‘ll get things straightened out," Mr. McNeil said, "and that will stabilize business. People are in confusion now, but we‘ll come to an agreement with the operators." Fiery Address Mr. Armstrong‘s was a fiery address in which he claimed that Mr. Rowlandâ€" son‘s alleged statements to the newsâ€" paper were "fabrications of his own," where it had been stated that the miners were not behind the Oshawa strikers. He sketched the brief history of the American Federation of Laboutr‘s failure to organize craft unions in the mass production industries of steel, autom¢bile and rubber plants and the consequent formation of the Lewis Committee for Industrial Organization. He compared Lewis to Foch, the one leading an international army of to victory and the other leadâ€" ing an international army of soldiers to victoery in the last war. J. M. Lawson, president of the Mcâ€" Intyre local, was chairman at the meeting. Other speakers were W. R Armstrong, president of the Timmins local, and Tom McNeil, secretaryâ€"treasâ€" urer of the same unit. Denies Local Report While exonerating the local newsâ€" pauper that published what purported to be an account of a meeting of the McIntyre leocal in Schumacher at which John Rowlandson, M.L.A. for Cochrane south was one of the speakers, Mr. McNeil said the report was erroneous in that the impression had been given that the local unions were not backing the Oshawa strikers.

Frenchâ€"Speaking Students Achieve Notable Success in Event on Friday. On Friday night the Frenchâ€"speakâ€" ing students of the Timmins High and Vocational Schools enacted a play, "La Poudre Aux Yeux," a comedy in two acts, in the auditorium of their school. This is the first time that a play has been put on by the Frenchâ€"speaking students, and it was a decided sucâ€" cess, marked by a very large attendance. Besides the entertainment offered by the play, the High and Voecrational Sâ€"hcol crchestra played several selecâ€" tions which were greatly enjoyed by the audience. Some vocal selections were given by a group of. Frenchâ€" speaking first and secondâ€"year stuâ€" dents, and also by a group of English* speaking first and secondâ€"year stuâ€" dents. This first offering by the Frenchâ€" speaking students was equal in merit to all those very entertaining concerts that have been previously presented at the Timmins High and Vozrational Sschools. Highâ€"Grade Samples " from Week‘s Run of Press North Bay Nugget:â€"This date ten years ago was a memorable one for this section of the Dominion, for it was the occasion of the death, by House of Commons vote, of the Georgian Bay Canal Bill, a measure that had been before the Dominion Parliament for more than three decades. A canal from the Georgian Bay, via French River and Lake Nipissing, down the Ottawa River to the St. Lawrence was a hope of North Bay and district for many, many years, until a report by the chief enâ€" gineer of the Department of Public Works convinced the government that it was not feasible, too costly and a somewhat unnecessary project.
