In this day of frivolous fashions and plamourous grandmothers, maybe it would ‘be a relief for Mother‘s Day year to run a little toward relaxation and a little less toward the wearying challenge of, keeping up with the <Powers models. In other words maybe she‘ll like a book for a change! If she has a hobby, then a book on her favorite subject will be thoughtful. Or just: a book for bedtime reading with no â€"ulterior motives of uplift or self improvement. Unless she‘s aâ€" mother who really enjoys uphft, and selfâ€"imâ€" provement! But whether you‘re on the giving or the receiving end of giftâ€"books, bookâ€" keeping is probably a problemâ€"and we don‘t mean arithmetic. Literary Pleasure Books can add character or clutter to the decorative design of a room, deâ€" pending on what you do about them. Not in a literary way so much as on the purely material count of putting them away. Though we have a notion that well arranged books are even more 0 literary pleasure than books that are piled around or shoved here and there and away. For every romantic description of a learned man whose study is stacked high with books and papers about to topple over, there are many more records of productive schoâ€" lars who keep their books, notes and manuscripts in a workable convenient arraiigement. As for just everyday homes such as most of us have, there‘4 no alternative but order if the family is to enjoy their books and the house is to be kept tidy in the easiest most direct way. Life and Warmth Books are. like musical instruments in that they bring to the furnishings of a room a sense of life and warmth. That is why decorators make such a point of book shelves, why they will even use fake books or books bought by the pound in second hand stores rather than furnish a room with no books at all. But we hope that none of our readers destitute of books Whether you have a great many books or only a few, consider then in planning your colour scheme. If you have many books they will pretty much govern the colors and the patterns you use. They will eliminate a pale deliâ€" cate color scheme, for instance, and overâ€"power a dainty pattern. It would be much better to use mellow deepâ€"toned colors that can hold their own with the glowing medley of book bindings. Or else let them be the acâ€" cent for a staunch neutral, like deep beige or grey. a of our readem n!ezso stitute of books as to have to *r t to any such subâ€" terfuge. Pretty Jackets If you haven‘t so many books, you can be more free in selecting backâ€" ground colors. Though it doesn‘t take many bright bindings to kill a pastel effect. If you must have pale colors and books together, why not make jacâ€" kets for your books out of chintz, seraps of lovely brocade, wall paper or handâ€" blocked prints. There‘s nothing sacriâ€" legious about that and it‘s one way to keep books in tune with their backâ€" ground. Builtâ€"in book shelves can be either separate tiers of shelves painted to match the walls or else they can be inset into the walls in graceful panels with circular topsâ€"these later become really distinguished architectural feaâ€" tures of a room. Another popular way of arranging shelves that are built right into the house is for them to face the insides of an alcove. â€"Or a long single shelf inset into a wall gives an interâ€" esting design to a long wall. Or small tiers of shelves set into odd wall spaces make pleasant patterns and convenient places for books.

Cunningham states that experimental evidence shows that | arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arâ€" teries} is due to the presence of excess cholesterol esters (found in egg yolk, liver, kidney, brain, cream, butter, and meat fat) which first appear in the ‘lming or inner coat of the arteries following the eating of too much of ! these foods. The cells containing the excess fat lodge in the arteries where there is an increase in blood pressure and calcification (limeâ€"like substance) takes the place of these fat cells reâ€" sulting in hardening of the arteries.

Don‘t forâ€" get that easy chairs with a good light nearby and a table in reach will be the pleasure of bookâ€"owning.

Overweight and Heart and Brain Strokes When an overweight reads the list of ailments that may attack him because of <his overweight, he may think that his physician and insurance companies are exaggerating the dangers of overâ€" weight.â€" When he learns that Dr. E. P. Joslin, Harvard University, the great authority on diabetes, states that overâ€" weight is a, forerunner of diabetes and what there diabetes runs in a family, if the members of that family will avoid overweight they will also avoid daibetes, he may be more concerned about his overweight. Further, as heart strokes and brain strokes are now our commonest causes of death, both of which are caused by high blood pressure, and overweight is one cause of high blood pressure, the overweight may be even more con«= cerned about his excess fat, as well he should be. While overeating, nervousness and emotional disturbances help to raise the blood pressure, sometimes the type of food eaten is even more importarX than the amount of food eaten. The type of food which is a big factor in hardening the arteries and thus raising the blood pressure is fat food itself. by Elizabeth MacRea Boykin ith more peoâ€" iment in days _ amusements gests wonderâ€" *s, good light, the walls are and pink on white, while the fireplace wall is panelled in white with the book shelves taking up most of the space.

At the end of 6 weeks | he had changed from a greasy, fat, | dul! individual, to a clear skinned, pleaâ€" sant and much ligshter (30 pounds) man. He had no further attacks of aphasia and says that he feels better, than in the previous 25 years. [â€"_â€"Ancther case mentioned in Dr. Cunâ€" inmgham s article was "an overfed, puffâ€" ing. older patient who was put on the low fat, low cholesterol diet because her systolic blood pressure was 200, and ~Mer hneart was failing and feet swelling. In three months she lost 50 pounds, had no swelling of feet, and her blood presâ€" was maintained at 160". ginning high blood pressure so common in overweights owing to eating too much fat food is to cut down on fat foods, and on fat forming foods. These are certainly two striking 6xâ€" amples of what can be done for the comfort and safety of overweight with high blood pressure. It should be very much worth while to follow this simple diet which not only gets rid of excess weight but makes life more comfortable. The foods to avoid, then, are fat meats, egg yolk, cream,> butter, and kidney, liver and brain. Also, pastry pies, hot bread, hot biscuits, spiced and pickled fruits, and alcoholic and malt drinks. ) The foods that can be safely eaten by those with high blood pressure are lean fresh meat without sauces and gravies, fresh . vegetables (except corn, onions, cucumbers, peppers, dried beans bread, toast, clear soups, vegetables soups.

What experiâ€" ence they have got in the mining game The term "hill" is used by gardeners to denote clumps of four or five plants.

Unless drainage is poor it is better to. leave the hill slightly depressed to collect moisture. Beans are frequently sown in hills althoughn many gardeners favor the drill (straight line planting). There is quite a wide range of opinion as to the distance apart that potatées should be planted; from twenty four inches between rows to three feet: from twelve to eighteen inches apart in the row. Twentyâ€"four inches between rows is a little close for hilling up the plants:; thirtyâ€"six inches is wide to plant, cultivate and harvest by machinery.

However, that is beside the point. The resolution reâ€" ceived the same consideration as all other submitted resolutions. The pros and cons were debated by both supâ€" porters and opposers, and then filed to be dealt with at all other centres where meetings would be held by the Association throughout the Dominion of Canada. I want you to note that it was at meetings to be held throughâ€" out the Dominion, not just Ontario, and it was resolved at that Timmins meetâ€" ing that the Association was to back all resolutions according to the weight of _ sunnore ways, Now what other way would yOU wist© tu Mr. Editor?

Knell | BJRIEAqW ; years after Mr. Wallingford ceased to be associated with Timmins council. ‘In no way did Mr. Wallingford sugâ€" gest that he represented the Town of Timmins. Furthermore, it should be very distinctly understood that the "Town ofTimmins", is not a ‘"mining organization" in any. meaning of the words. It might be added as a matter | of fact and justice that the mines never interfere in any way with municipal affairs, except that they always appear ready to help the town in friendly‘ way when there is need. ‘ requires some revision, but I am sure in favour of retaining the Securities ; Commission. They are the only barâ€" rier between the Prospector and the Hiâ€"Binder, which is at the disposal of | the prospector without charge. I would | ask Prospectors to go into â€" the | matter deeply before voting to abolish the Securities Commission,. For several vears Mr. Editor there ! has been a great agitation at meetings held by the Prospectors and Developâ€" | ers, in the City of Toronto, to have ‘the Securities Commission abolished, | but if you will take the bother to look up the records, you will find that a lot of the agitators are now or have been in jail. Any person that does their mining businessâ€"square and above \ board does not need to be afraid of | the Commission. They are just like Mr. McManus is equally astray in regard to the resolution duly passed by the meeting of the Propectors and Deâ€" velopers Association. Mr. McManus in his letter keeps referring to the abolishing of the Securitiee Commisâ€" sion. The resolution did not suggest anything of the sort. ~Most prospectors have no objection to the Securities Commission. What they desire changâ€" ed is the regulations that have unfairâ€" ly handicapped the prospector and practically driven him out of, the busi-i ness. The resolution did not even mention the Securities Commission. It did ask for the repeal or amendment of the Securities Act so â€" as.to give the prospector a fair deal. The reason reâ€" peal was mentioned was because there was a general suggestion that the Act could. not .be amended, but must be cusipuct¢ly changed. The Ontario Govâ€" emments at Livade TL UTUHC MAUbuesâ€"â€"spe~ ports this idea.
