English. Why do we get boils? Why is one bi.il frcciucntly followed by a verit- able crop of them? Boils are due to a dLsease germ, oddly enough a germ which i.s almost always present on the human skin. If so, why does it cause a boil some- t imes and not at Dthi'r times, or in other people? One impoilaiit reason is that the unbroken i'kin is a woiukrful barrier to the entr.'ince of germs. Surface Mevms cannot penetrate this covering unless it be broken in some way. If :l.e skin be broken by a scratch, cut, or bruised, lus by the squeezing of a blackhead or a superficial pimple, the gciins are given an opportunity to penetrate to the deeper layers of the -kill and a boil may re.'ult. If the infection spreads through the deeper layers a carbuncle is the result. Sometimes, as in the case of a deep l>inprick, the infection may go right through the skin and get into the lilood stream, in which case we get not a boil, but a cellulitis possibly complicated with blood poisoning. Another factor is that of the gen- eral health of the individual, for this affects the "resistance" of the skin. People who are rundown or debilitat- ed, who have faulty digestion, or fol- low a faulty diet, who have certain, perhaps unsuspected diseases like dia- betes, or who are overtired or worried, whose clothing is too heavy or hot, or who burn the candle at both ends, are prone to develop boils. Once a boil has developed, great care must be taken to prevent spread- ing of the infection. The boil should not be squeezed, particularly in its e«r|y stages befor'e th«j "core" is formed. Boils should be kept cov- ered with sterile dressing, not only to protect them, but to prevent the spread of pus .should they spontan- eously open. The adjacent skin should be free from contamination and the hands should be scrupulously cleansed both before and after doing any dress- ing. Why do crops of boils so freiiuently break out in school teams? Mort than one champiosship has been lost because of crippling boils. Skin abrasions and overheating may be factors, but greater care should be taken to avoid passing infection from one player to another. Coinmon â- towels and soap, borrowing of uni- forms and cros.s-infection during the rubdown probably play as great a role. In addition to tha propt'r cnro of the boil itself, the general health of the patient and his daily hygiene should be considered. Diet, body elimina- tion, rest, exercise, clothing, fresh air, all must be checked. Sometimes vac- cines aire of considerable benefit in raising the body resistance to this particular germ. Unlawful To Operate ' Trucks On Sundays The following letter has been re- ceived by owners of conunercial mo- tor vehick's from J. P. Bickell, Reg- istrar of Motor Vehicles, re Sunday trucking: The increase in the unnecessary usi of commercial motor vehicles on .Sundays makes it necessary to wam iwners of such vehicles that their operation for commercial purposes oi uain on Sunday is contrary to the laws lespecting Sunday observance. Th» practice also increases the accident hazard by congesting the highways on the one day of the week when many ()I)erators of passenger cars can use them. This is therefore to advise you that â- onsideration will be given to the sus- jiension or revocation of motor vehic- le jK-rmits of those whose vehicles ar» hereafter operated unnecessarily on the public highways on Sunday. It is of course, not the in,tention of the ncpaitnient to interfere in any way ivith the operation of motor trucks used for the conveyance of milk or other necessities of life, or those en- u'aged in business that must, in the interests of the general public, be operated. The authority for suspending motor vehicles permits for unnecessary Sun- day operation is contained in .lection 20 of the Highway Traffic Act. ( IRRENT CROP REPORT Spring seeding is about completed in most districts, although in .some jrtas excessive moisture has retarded the program. This is particularly the case where the soil is low or clay in nature. A report from Perth states that one prominent beef farmer who feeds two or more carloads of cattls, biought in Western Hereford steers at 4c a lb., averaging 740 lbs. in weight and sold them at 7c a pound, weighing over an average of HOC lbs. This shipment of cattle which brought in .$4,000 was fed on the grain and hay grown on a 100-acre farm. PRICES ON THE IP-GRADE OFFICIAL BOWLING OPENING The official opening of the Flesher- ton Bowling Club was held on Friday evening of last week with jitney games among the local players. Mrs. Geo. McTavish won the ladies' prize, while Walter Akitt won the men's event. The members look forward to a successful year. A girls' pipe band has been enliv- ening proceedings on the Winnipeg grain exchange. The favorite num- ber played would probably be "Cora- in Through the Rye." Mail arriving daily in printing of- fices is anything but cheering. As an example, "owing to the increase in prices of paper all prices are discon- tinued, new prices will be mailed in n few days," And the changes are not confined to any one line in par- ticular. Newsprint, the new product of the newspaper alone, jumped <ip- wards of forty per cent. It is a dis- concerting story but the only open course is to grin and make the best of it. Now that there have been a couple of maiTiages in his family, II Duce, who wanted a place in the sun, can hardly find a son in the place. After the rumors of coalition, Hon. Earl Rowe has now made it quite clear that he intends to hoe his own row. The Montreal Star in an editorial article calls tag day a nuisance. We understand they are not very popular in Aberdeen either. Dwarfs are braver than giants, an American chiropractor asserts. Per- haps they have more need for cour- age. A lot of time is wasted when, in- stead of using our heads and analyz- ing our problems, we try to argue that our first guess was right. Increasing Yield* The application «f a definite scheme of crop rotation i» beiiifj found an important factor in reducing feed cost*. The chief advantages of such a practice ar«: (1) Maintaining and improving sofl fertility, thus increas- ing yields; (2) Assisting in weed con- trol; (.'5) Asei.^ting in the control of insect a«d ci-oji diseases by having various cro|)* on frwsh soil each year; and it makes a more even distribution of labor throughout the year possible. Increasing the yield per acre is one of the best ways of reducing co.st of production and in this respect crop Dotation plays a real part. READ THE "SMALL ADVTS". ONTARIO JOBS OPEN!

Dr. L. J. Simpson, Ontario Minister of Education, in a recent statement, revealed that ways ana means of increasing substantially the financial grants to schools is Ontario, were being considered. At the pres- ent time the Department of Education is paying only 11 per cent, of the cost of education in the province. In New Zealand the state bears the en- tire cost and in Australia one-half. Dr. Simpson, in an address at the opening session of the Urban School Trustees Association recently, said his department would be glad if it could see its way clear to take more of the burden from the shoulders of the tax- payer. Did you know that glue or muci- lage prevents mosquito bites from in-itating? Try it sometime. The best sign of the times is the way university graduates are secur- ing positions. The poor house is populated with people who tried to live their lives according to the income of others. Now that mother has had her day, <lad will probably be satisfied if he can have a night once in a while. The successful marriage requires two senses, common sense and a sens* of humor.

This implement consists of a .series of long slender teeth which form a very light harrow. The finger weed- er may b<' used to advantage on an- nual weeds, shortly after germination, both before and after the grain crop has emerged and until the crop is some two or ffur inches high. "Spell your name!" said the court clerk sharply. The witness began: "O, double T, I, double IJ, E, double L, doubleâ€"" "Begin again!" ordered the clerk. The witness repeated: "O, double T, L double U, E, double L, double U, double Oâ€" " "Your honor," roared the clerk, "I beg that this man be aommitted for contempt of court!" "What is your name?" asked the judge. "My name, your honor, is Ottiwelt Wood, and I spell it 0, double T, t. double U, E, double L, double U, double O, D."â€" « • • -Jor Economical Transportation 9t ONE of the best things about Chevrolet quality is the way it saves yon money on gas, oil and upkeep â€" and assures you of higher "trade-in" value later on. For instance, the quality design of Chev- rolet's Valve-in-IIead Engine saves you as much as 10% on operating costsi Knee- Action, on Master De Luxe models, saves you dollars on "tightening-up" â€" because it cushions the car, as well as the passengers. against the pounding of rough roads. The Unisteel Turret Top Bodies by Fisher are solidly built to "stand up", without develop- ing annoying rattles and squeaks. From perfected Hydraulic Brakes to gen- uine Fisher No-Draft Ventilation, Chevrolet is every inch a quality product â€" famous for dependability!
