J '•* . V I 1 SAFE f AY TO ElDDCElDe^th of wo,n.„ wh. Reveals Savings 39 lbs. Offâ€" and She Feels Better A woman who has found a jiure, »afe way to lose fat â€" without freak dieting- or dangerous drugs â€" wiites: "A year ago I was eaten up with rheumatism, and was far too fat. I weighed 154 lbs. and, as my height is only 5 feet 2 inches, you can judge my appearance. I have taken Krusch- en regularly, and not dieted, and now J weigh 115 lbs,, which is just nice, and, further, I feel better in health and my rheumatism has vanished." â€" (Mrs.) D. N. ! Unlike certain dra.stic drugs, â- Kruschen does not aim to reduce by Irushing food through the boay; its 'action is not confined to a single part of the system. It has a tonic in- fluence upon every organ of ehmina- 'tion, every gland, every nerve, every vein. Gently, but surely, it rids the system of all fat-forming food re- fuse, of all poisons and harmful acids which give rise to rheumatism, digest- ive disorders, and many other ilia. A MiUion-DoIlar Industry Each returning spring Canada ^fathers a harvest of the maple that .wns into millions of dollars. In the calendar year 1933 the Dominion, ex- ported 2,370,802 pounds of maple augar valued at $389,475, and 32,994 [gallons of maple syrup valued at $32, ,073; the produce of th« four provin- 'ces â€" Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia land New Brunswick. This is a strict- ly native industry, having originated with the Indians, Canada and the U- nited States being the only countries producing maple syrup and sugar The red man's methods were very crude. He gashed the maple tree with his tomahawk and caught the dripping sap in a birch bark vessel. Moose meat boiled in the maple sap was given a sweetness much enjoyed by the Indian. Before the advent of metal or even earthen pots the boiling down process was done by dropping heated- stones into a hewed out log filled with the sap. According to a legend held by some Indian tribes maple syrup was dis cevered in the following manner. One day a mighty hunter named Woksis went out in search of game "s hile his squaw, Mcgue, busied herself with preparing the meal against his home- cooking. As was customary, she boil- ed some moose meat in the sweet ma- ple water. Forgetting her charge, how ever, the boiling sap thickened into a syrup. Whsn Woksis returned and ta.sted the new dish he was so delight- ed that he informed the tribe that a heaven sent instructor had informed his Mogua how to make this wonder- ful new dish. The size oi the yield each spring depends largely upon climatic jondi- tion.s. With freezing nights and tha- wing days, clear skies and moderate winds, the yield is good. Ordinarily the run extends three weeks, but sometimes it exceeds a month. From 10 to 20 gallons- of sap are taken from •ach tree, but ii requires -^O gallons of .«:ap to make one gailon of sjTup cr about six pounds of sugar. The first run of the season is rich- est. Gradually as the season advan- ces the sap becomes poorer. The fin- al run is drawn off when the buds are swelling and almost ready tc burst. This poor quality of sap is called bud- dy sap and has a peculiar flavor that cannot be eliminated. Until about sixty years ago there was little improvement in the meth- ods of sugar makers, but since that time the advance has kept pace with that of other branches of agriculture, until it has become a more or less hi- ghly organized commercial industry. â€" Brockville Recorder-Times. The locked door of a woman's room in London, Eng., outside which its occupant was found dying some time ago, has only now beei' ope.ied to disclose a mystery which is puzzl- ing the neighbourhood. For although the tenant. Miss C. M. Kelly, aged 62, had for years been in receipt of public and private charities in North London, her room, into which she had allowed no one to enter, contained savings certifi- cates to the value of $2,500, bank notes for $60 and a costly gold watch. The woman had been removed from her home to the Edmonton public in- stitution, where she died. Perhaps the most extraordinary find was a diary in which the dead woman had kept systematic records of persons on whom she had called to ask for money. Hundreds of names are given â€" <''21 on one day, 173 on another, and 141 on a third. Opposite each name appears the amount received. Large quantities of face-powder, lip-stick, and cosmetics were found in the room. Neighbours state <hat the woman was always well "made-up'' before she went out. One local councillor, it appears, had regularly sent her about 60 cents each week for many years, and he is astonished at the disclosures which have just been made. A curious fact about the woman Is that she has never so far as can be traced, been in receipt of poor re- lief. Back to the Kitchen CHICAGOâ€" Mrs. Leonora Z. Meder, one of the United States best known club women, who is now president of the Chicago business and professional women's club, believes women belong in kitchens and homes and not in clubs. "Every club woman aud profes- sional woman, young or old," she said, ''would gladly chuck her career to marry a good man. There are two kinds of women â€" those ihat men love and marry, and those who belong to clubs." Jibing the traditional club -woman a little more, Mrs. Meder added: "I am active in club and profes- sional work myself, but 1 see the error of my ways. If I were as good a cook as I am a lawyer, I'd own Chicago. Well, it's back to the spin- ning wheel for women now. And back to the kitchen. That's where women belong. Getting the vote didn't do women any good â€" they .still vote as their husbands tell them." Captain-Writer Splinter Causes Death of Youngster An inquest disclosed Clementia Domingo de AUende, agtd four, of Cape Town, South Africa, died from septicaemia, resulting from a splinter In a big toe. A brother of tht chilj said his sis- ter came to him and cnniplained of having a splinter in her right toe. He pulled it out with tweezars and found It to be an inch long and fairly thick. jThe wound bled 8. lot ana he applied Iodine. His mother also put boracic powder on the toe.

Oliver was careless about his per- sonal effects. When mother went ups'airs and saw clothing scattered about on chair and floor, she inquired: "Wqo didn't hang up his clothes when he went to bed?"

English Girl Will Spread Methods of "Slimming" in U.S. London â€" Louise Irwin, young Engli.sh physical culture expert, left to spread methods of "slimming'' in the United States. "Slimming,"' as reducing is pic- turesquely called here, has gained great vogue recently and led to a stern campaign by British doctors in an effort to cure its popularity. Miss Irwin told the Eveninff News she hfpped to teach the young Ameri- can girl how to reduce without nav ing to resort to either fatiguing physiriil exercises or a hungpv diet. Scarf etiquette is something of a science these days when often the effect of an entire costume may de- pend upon this one accessory. Solid colors are always better for the costume which may be figured, strip ed or otherwise designed, and the reverse for ensembles of one color. But color isn't the whole thing. The method of knotting or twisting or drapping the throat is an all-im- portant factor in scarf manipulation. The simplest method is probably knitting the fabric once around the throat like a handkerchief. Longer ones should be rolled and twisted â€" not folded â€" around the neck with the ends hanging loose. Still others are knotted Ascot fttshion and worn inside the jacket. Some silk hand- kerchiefs are seen in plain patterns, folded three-cornered around the neck and held with a sports pin (one of those huge safety pins or a long golf club, tennis racket, ski-shoe o hockey stick in silver.) Jewelry, generally speaking, is not worn with sport costumes except for pins on caps or at the neck line of the dressier angora sweaters anti enamel worn on the lapel or jackets as novelties. Aviation jewelry ac- cessories consist of nuts and bolts, wings, propellors and such fixed up as rings, bracelets, necklaces and pins, and particularly the nuts -'.nd bolts are used as buttons, snaps, clips and buckles. First Woman to Win Degree For Estate Management When is a Married Woman Not Married For the first time a woman has won the London University degree of B. S.c.

Th'* successful woman candidate Is Miss Aurora Lamplougb, of Cartwrighi Gardens, London. Miss Lamplough, who was born at Cambridge, is the daughter of F. E. Lamplough of Northfield. near Birm- ingham, a former Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and lecturer at King's Norton Secondary School, St. George's School, Harpenden, and tho College of Estate Management, Lon don. German Author Says War Certain ERIE, Pa. â€" When is a married wo- man not a married woman? That's the thorn pierc'ng the side of Erie's school board, now that it has barred the hiring ot married teachers, Mrs. Bertha W. Mahoney started the storm by asking the board if a woman teacher, married and separated from her husband but not divorced, was eligible for a contract. "I know of two or three women," she continued, "who are now living with their husbands and not getting along so well. They would be willing to give up married life If they could he appointed teachers." Superintendent of schools John C. Diehl thought that women not living with their husbands are eligible. But this brought a chorus of "No's" from the board. "That might open tho way for fraud," one director pointed out. "We might have some married wo- men leaving their husb.itids to be- come teachers and then ; (-turning to their husbands again. Then we couldn't break the contract Let them get a legal divorce first." Exasperated, John Macd-iuald, board president said: "Let's get a legal opinion." Pari.s â€" Emil Ludwig, exiled Ger- man author, believes war is inevit- able because "dictators are deluding youth, which seeks something more dramatic than democracy." In Les .^nnales Ludw'ig writes: "War is not being encouraged by cannon manufacturers or the chan- cellories, but in universities and schools, and in mass demonstrations organized by dictators as a back- ground for their efforts."' A united Europe does not appeal to youth because "it possesses neither battle flags nor anthems nor an avenger's creed." Ludwig said that William II no more desired war than Chancellor Hitler, but that "war -was made in- evitable by noisy, nationalistic dis- plays of power."
