She was told of Kruschen iSalts and decided to try them. After taking one bottle she found great re- lief, and after two bottles wa.>! able to walk without the aid of sticks. She has uf.ver been without Kruschen •luce, and takes a small dose two or three times a week. She is still able ^ travel and go about, although she was 89 last February.

Sweden to Unify Stage Organizations Stockholm, Sweden. â€" A nation-wide and unified organization of the theatri- cal activity iu Sweden is planned by the Swedish minister of education and worship, Arthur Engbery, and a com- mittee has been appointed by the gov- ernment to draw up the lines for this new work. The plan, which will be sponsored and controlled by the state, is intended to provide increased op- portunities for the provincial districts of the country to enjoy good dramatic and musical art performed by flrst- rate artists. The committee proposes that tbe Royal Dramatic Theatre and later per- haps the Royal Opera hi Stockholm should organize provincial tours with specially engaged artists reinforced by leading actors and actresses from tbe Stockholm stages and that societies ot play-goers should be organized in the provincial towns to safeguard the econ- omic part of the activity. Sweden has a number of travelling theatrical societies and local theatre buildings in most country towns. Dur- ing the summer season there are ex- cellent open-air stages in many places including the popular public park thea- tres. These park theatres this sum- mer will send out 15 different groups with together 250 artists and about 50 programs to hold performances in about 130 different places. Canadian Beaver Thriving Under Protection of the Law Ottawa. â€" That extraordinary aquatic animal, the beaver, which has a place on the Canadian coat of arms, is in- creasng rapidly under the protection of the law in Northern Ontario. The fur ot the beaver is valuable, and some years ago the species was being hunted with such vigor that Ontario prohibited its killing. Seven years ago, with official ap- proval, Michael Urban Bates estab- lished a beaver sauciuary at Meta- gama and to-day the three colonies with which he started have increased to seventy, in which last Winter about 300 beaver made their homes. Mr. Bates claims right to the title of "beaver king" of Ontario," and, per- haps, of all Canada. Hollywood Studio Plans Big Program Hollywood, Calif. â€" The motion pic- ttire industry is swinging into the line ot businesses enjoying happier days. United Artists Studio has announced a start on the largest program of re- leases in its history. Virtually idle since the first of the year, this produc- ing unit will put many hundreds ot workers back on the payroll. Sweden's Idle Get Piecework Relief Program Machine is Minimized in New $45,000,000 Plan to En- courage Initiative Stockholm. â€" The indifferent work- man will Und little encouragement in Sweden's new $45,000,000 unemploy- ment relief program now practically assured by party compromise in the Riksdag. Instead ot being paid so much a day regardless ot efficiency, the man who accepts relief work will receive a min- imum wage, plus whatever he can earn under a piece-work arrangement. This new principle is to be develop- ed in several ways. On highway con- struction, for example, workmen may be divided into small groups and paid according to the number ot cubic yards of dirt removed. Machine Work Mtnlmiaed Machine work will be eliminated aa far as possible so as to give full play to the new program. In this manner the social-democrat government lead- ers reason, private initiative can be encouraged instead of deadened, with the state getting value received for Its money. Under the old plan, where a man bad merely to demonstrate his will- ingness to work, it is pointed out, the "made work" project has proved, in most cases, too costly. Wages to be paid will for the most part be that of unskilled labor as de- termined in the open market, and will therefore differ according to the sec- tion ot Sweden where the projects are carried out. Skilled labor will be paid according to regular scale. Trade Unions Win Point Trade unions hav,^ won an import- ant point in enunciation of the new policy, namely, an understanding that a union man who accepts unemployment relief cannot be forced to serve as a strikebreaker in his own trade in some other community. Men who voluntarily strike within their own trade, however, will not be permitted to accept temporary employ- ment on an unemployment relief pro- ject. All unemployment relief is to be ad- ministered by the national unemploy- ment commission, formed in 1921 dur- ing Sweden's post-war industrial de- pression, in accordance with these new principles. Certain amounts of the money to be , appropriated wili iis available fcr cash disbursements to the jobless for whom employment cannot be made available. English Town Puzzled Where to Re-erect Castle Macclesfield, Cheshire, Eng. â€" Want- ed â€" Site for an ancient castle. This problem of what to do with its castle is puzzling Macclesfield. When erecting a new store on the sit© of the town's historic strong- hold, an industrial concern offered the remains of the castle to the Cor- poration. The structure was demol- ished and each part carefully num- bered and stored away. No one could decide where to re, erect it. Local antiquaries, however, are In- vestigating the matter and funds are being raised to purchase a suitable .site. Low Buildings Predominate in New York, Skyscraper City New York. â€" Maps exhibited last week in the Manhattan Borough President's office showed that New York, the skyscraper city, is a place where small buildings predominate. Prepared by the Borough Pres- ident's engineers, the maps sliow that only 2.5 per cent, of the city's building.s are higher than twenty storeys. Buildings from one to four storeys in height comprise 42.5 per cent, ot the total, while those from five to seven storeys constitute 43 per cent, of the total. Land values are shown on the maps, ranging from $400 a front foot to ?I0.000 a front foot in the Gr^d Central zone. The exhibit is open to the public from 9 to 4 daily. 'If the difficulties through which we are passing have the eifect of bringing home to us the evils of economic na- tionalization it will be a blessing in disguise." â€" Prince of Wales. Radio Air Station to Send Oral and Visual Signals Washington.- A combined radio commiinication station and radio range-beacon to transmit voice and direction signals simultaneously to planes over the -New York area will be placed in operation next month at Elizabeth, N.J. "The radio station is equipped to furnish airmen in flight with oral and visual type directional signals either simultaneoutly, or independ- ently, and is also able to transmit voice and signals of tbe visual type in a like manner. i "The Aeronautic Branch of the Commerce Department said in des- cribing the station. "This will enable a pilot, if his plane Is provided with the instru- ments to bring In the visual signals, to receive weather reports, or other necessary information, by voice and, at tbe same time, to b« guided on hie course by means of tbe visual in- dications that are registered on the plane's instrument board. As it is necessary to shut down the aural signals while a voice broadcast Is being made, a pilot prepared to re- ceive only the aural signals is with- out directional guidance while voice is being received." Resourceful Woman Patches Gas Une With Com Plaster Manning, S.C. â€" Necessity, some one has said, is the mother of invention, and, according to a local garage man, the author of the aphorism knew what he was talking about. Three young women, one of them limping, left Charleston the other day in an automobile. When they reach- ed Manning, the automobile, rather than one of the women, was limping. It happened this way: On a lonely part of the road their automobile stop- ped running. It appeared that the gas line had broken. The three young wo- men were in a dilemma. Finally, the one who was limping suggested that a corn plaster might fix the line. It worked, and they made their way to a Manning garage where more perman- ent repairs were effected.

The expedition consists of 70 men, including Greenlanders, who are tend- ing eight large motorboats. Through the investigations of last year made by Capt. Einar Mikkelsen, six an- cient Eskimo dwellings were found among ruins between Angmagssalik and Seoresby Sound. It is hoped these relics will help to throw light on the sudden disappear- ance of inhabitance from this dis- trict of Greenland. Further inland traces were found of vegetation, grouse and foxes. It is said that it will be po.ssible to colonize further this part of Greenland but only with Greenlanders. Pioneer Aged 110 Forgets Name of War He Fought In Nortli Bay. â€" John Birch, a Russian pioneer who settled at Nipissing Junc- tion near here in 1S90, has just cele- brated his 110th birthday. He is a veteran of the Crimeau and Franco- Russian war, and another war the name of which he can't remember. Representatives From 3 1 Countries Gather fojr First Time in North America More than 300 scientists from 31 countries attended the fifth meeting of the Pacific Science Congress which opened on June 1 at Victoria, British Columbia. It is the first time the Con- gress has met on the North American side of the Pacific Ocean. The meet- ings were held at Victoria and Van- couver, continuing until June 14. The topics discussed included life in and significance ot Pacific fiords, meteoro- logical conditions affecting navigation on the Pacific, developments in the application of science to industry in countries of the Pacific region, meth- ods of controlling the principal dis- eases of animals, co-ordination of re- cent work in plant and animal gene- tics, ethnological and archaeological factors in Pacific cultures, propagation of salmon, silviculture, radio trans- mission, copper, lead and zinc re- sources, volcanoes, and earth-crust movements. One of the most interesting features of the Congress was the address of Lord Rutherford, Director of the Cav- endish Physics Laboratory of Cam- bridge University, England, a former ; Professor of Physics at McGill Uni- ; versity, Montreal. Lord Rutherford, I who, by the way. was born in Xew I Zealand, delivered his address by ra- I dio to Vancouver, where the Congress I was in session. Before and after his i address. Lord Rutherford held a con- i versation with officers of the Con- I gress. Such is the point to which ' modern radio telephony has been de- ' veloped. I It was while he was a member of I the Faculty at McGill University that j Lord Rutherford published his flrst j paper on radio-activity. He is regard- i ed as one of the world's outstandin.g I scientists. Fifteen years ago he won I the Xobel Prize for chemistry. I This year Canada is the meeting , place for four notable international ^ gatherings. In adtlTtion to the fore- j goin.g. the World's Postal Union Ex- j ecutive Committee, with representa- I fives from IC countries, met in Ot- tawa, the capital of Canada: on July 24 the World's Grain Exhibition and Conference opens at Regina.

Alberta, famous resort in the Canadian Rocky Moun- tainsi To Plant Acorns For Oak Forests British Jobless to Plant 70.000 Pounds of Nuts to Re- store Forests London. â€" Jobless miners and farm laborers are helping to plant 70,000 pounds of acorns in England to re- store the forests of mighty oaks which were felled during the Great War. Some 478,000 acres of trees were cut down between 1914 and 1918. Al- ready 25,000 acres have been replant- ed by the Forestry Commission, and in less than 50 years Thedford Chase, the country along the Little Ouse, bor- dering Norfolk and Suffolk, will ba one long stretch of trees. Jobless men are being taught the are of tending seedling oaks in trea nudseries covering more than 100 acres. Last autumn the wives and children of these men, living in the 160 woodmen's cottages which ara scattered through the young forest at Thedford Chase, spent many hours of each day collecting the acoma which are now being planted. Tha saplings will go into a nursery for two years before being transplanted to the forest land. Considerable care '•^as to be ex- pended on the preservation of tha young trees for the various forests now being formed Pine seeds ara soaked in red lead before being plant- ed to keep away mice, and stna'.l fences are built round the ground as a protection against ra'cbits. Trenches are also sunk to fitistrate the tunnel- ing cockchafer, and means have to ba taken to keep away the deer. Eventually it is proposed to estab- lish new sawmills, paper mills and tin ber industries, but for every tres cut down another will be planted. Let love make you strong, pure, se- vere. Let it prevent your sacrificing the least portion of your soul's life. â€" Carmen Silva.

Is Booming New Westminster, B.C.â€" The shingle industry on the Fraser River is boom- ing with virtually all the big plants working double shifts and employing approximately 1,000 men in this dis- trict. Some plants have orders suffi- cient to keep them busy through July and August. P:-.-. 'r ve advanced sharply. Shingle proum uun in lite lower Fraser Valley this year is expected to reach 1.200.000.000 pieces of a value of ?2,000.000 against 770,000.000 pieces in 1932. Increased shingle production means more activity in the woods. Welsh Miners Offer Job Sharing Plan Blaenavon. Wales. â€" Some l.lii'i"' miners iu employment at Blaenavon, Wales, have proposed to colliery man- agers that their work should be shared with the town's 800 jobless. Previously the working miners were balloted on the question of whether they were prepared to share their employment. Tbe percentage of work- ers who responded favorably was 41, and the matter was then allowed to drop. That decision has now been rescind- ed, and the managments are consider- ing; adopting the work-sharing scheme, which is expected to result In eight months work every year for all miners in the area, and in none of them losing eligibility for insurance relief through lengthy unemployment.
