The medieval monks of Eilropc culti- voted their small wallcdin plots, luxuriant with flowers. herbs and vegetables. These gardens were in touch with many countries and so were able to introduce "outlandish plants and trees of curiosity," as foreign trees were variously called: fruit trees and ornamental ones,

too, for the y gardens were good places to rest in as well as to work. Many flowers such as tu- lips, hyaclnths and 111m, that to- day are familiar sights in all gat- dens, were at one time rare novel- ties brought back from the East by crusaders and scholars.

POULTRY OPPORTUNITY

The Dominion Department cf Agriculture 1kg and Poultry Mar- ket Review points out that there is an opportunity for both Can- adian poultry producers and ship- pers, which if taken advantage of now, could be made effective for

the present year's business. The striking and most worthwhile fes- ture of the market poultry situa- tlon is the unusually keen demand for export which has opened up beyond the expectations of even the most sanguine Canadian ship- pers. This situation has been brought about by two factors: first, the very favourable recep- tion which Canadian chilled poul- try shipments of tho past two years have received, and. second. the fact that the British tariff on poultry against foreign countries has directed more tisntlon to

lfl|

Canada for supplies.

Hitherto it has been the impres- sion that there was not very much light weight poultry available in Canada, but when the demand really developed it was surprising how much could be found, as is in- dicated by the inspection reports coming to hand. While there is un- doubtedly a considerable market for the heavier weight chickens, yet it is clear from the information already received that the big de- mand ls for the light and medium weight birds. 1t would appear, therefore, that both Canadian pro- ducers and shippers would be well advised now, early in the produc- tion season, to take stock of the situation. It requires initiative and lead, and that lead must come from the shippers and exporters.

JUSTIFICATION.’

"Justification." says our local con- temporary, "cf the stand taken by the Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King and his followers at Ottawafin regard to the Marketing Bill now before Par- liament is shown by the very impor- tant amendments which the Gov- ernment have been compelled to make in many of the objectional features contained in “the original Act."

How much of truth is there in the foregoing statement? The latest is- sue to hand of the Winnipeg Free Press, leading Liberal newspaper of Western Canada, supplies the ans- wer. It says emphatically: “The clarifying amendments to the Mar- keting Bill, announced by the Miri- isier of Agriculture, do not change at all its outstanding features." In other words, it is still in principle the same legislation against which Mr. Mackenzie King and his follow- ers announced that they were pre- pared to fight “to the last ditch!"

There are two ways of being happy-we may either diminish our wants or augment our means —either will do, the result is the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle, or sick. or poor. however hard it may be for you to dinlinish your wants, it will be hardes- to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous, or

in good health, it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise you will do both at once, young or old, rich orpoor, sick or well; and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society.- Franklin.

infectimus, rheumatism, kidney dis- ease, influenza and others. As excit- ing causes may be named: physical exertion, mental strain, profound emotion; and digestive disturbances.

Something interferes with the flow of blood to the small vessels supply- ing the muscular walls of the heart with blood. As these muscular walls do not get enough blood to nourish them properly the heart cannot do its work of pumping blood to the lungs and to all parts of the body. Hence the tight, vise-like feeling.

However recent researches seem to show that these little blood vcsels may be partially closed, not because the walls are becoming non-elastic. but because a "spasm" temporarily closes or partly closes these vessels.

This would account for tho angin- al attacks from emotional and di- gestive disturbances.

Recently Drs. M. A. Rothschild and M. Kissin in the American Heart Journal tell us of causing a lessening of the amount of oxygen in the blood by having a number of individuals rebreathe air. some of whom had true angina pectoris, and some were nom-isl healthy indivi- duals. ’

It was found that rebreathed (lacking in oxygen )air caused symptoms exactly like true angina pectoris.

The thought then is that with a. pain in the region of the heart or under the breast bone. simple gas pressure from indigestion is, the commonest cause; and even when it is not indigestion and resembles true angina pectoris as described above. the pain may be due to breathing impure air-air with insufficient oxygen.

The Insull Case

(Mail and Empire)

We some time ago expressed the fear that the Insuils, who have been taken back to Chicago for trial, because of certain financial transactions in which they were engaged, might fall a. victim of political influence in courts which are political 1n character because the judges are elected at, the polls. But we learn from the latest des- patches that already there are signs of a reaction of public sympathy for the aged and oomparativey impov- erished men. According to a Chi- cago despatch there has been no demonstration of the vindictiveness that was widely expressed immed lately after Samuel Insull fled from the throne which had toppled him off in the wreckage of his empire.

"Then the stern resolve to bring Insull back was greeted with gen- eral applause. Even so. the popular resentment was not sufficient to rc- nominate the State's Attorney who sent his deputies post haste w cap- ture the fugitive. He overdicl his eagerness and the VOters put it down to politics. and began to wonder if the former utility magnate was not justified ln making a hasty escape. That marked a turning point in public feeling." Ar. the chase pro- ceeded and the Federal Govem- ment joined in it, following the old- er man across Europe to Athena, thence to the Mediterranean and the Dardaneiles, the pursuit became in many minds a sporting event. a great game ‘of hare and hounds, and sympathy increased for the hare.

According to a New York Times despatch there is a hope that he will raise the curtain on the greed of politicians who. with much reason. are supposed to have been corrupt parasites on his great enterprises. That hope has been vigorously voiced by at least one big Chicago newspaper.

The hypothesis that Insull may be s. scapegoat for others who no lus merit prosecution arouses sym- pathy for him. Such comments as “Why don't they go after the other fellow? The old man wasn't the worst," are heard repeatedly. ‘time has taken the edge of public anger with Insull. _.__Z____________.._ fever, a delicious but deadly ma- lady, sweeps us all off our feet and lists all among its vlctsns.

the April showers had turned lo fair blossoms where they fell. It is the springtidc festival of May with its myriad charms, even as the poet Thompson says-

"Amoug the changing months, May stands confessed

The sweetest, and in fairest colors dressed."

And Shakespeare himself could find no more befitting simlie of youth in the fullness of its finest impulses and high emotions than to speak of-

“Love, whose month is ever May."

Which epigrarn in six brief words is about as complete a. summary of the Maytime festival a; ever we

are likely to got. thought the folk

So, at least, who in ilbe time of Spenser and Shakespeare made May Day a sea- son. of rejoicing throughout the length and breadth of the land» At early dawn they hied off to the woodlands to gather "May bushes and scented brlere" with which they decorated the oxen hitched to the WBBOn on which was placed the Maypole to be set up on the village green, And having decorated their home porches with grcen-bough leafage they builded an arbor un- der which the “lowlieet lassie" silould be crowned Queen of the May. Then these rustics dressed ulp as Robin Hood and his merry men and amongst them Maid Mar- ian and a. host of attendants. weaving the Maypole with the gay Hblflidjpflld themselves, with gar- lands’ crowned. tripping the -mea- sure of the "light fantastic we" as only gleeful melryrnake-rs can. Elven in old Iondon Town the Maypolc was erected; the smoky gables were adorned with green anbors, and. dressed in fanciful costumes. the merry old citizens with their wives, daughters, maids, apprentices, all sections of the community from aldermen to the chimney-sweeps, played "Don Gal- ligaskin" and gave themselves up to all the fun and jollity of May. Comhill and Charing Cross had their Maypole ensigns dedicated to the Goddess of Flowers.- When the Puritans came into power, a ban was put upon these playful festivi- ties. At the Restoration of Charles the Merry Monarch, an attempt was made to revive them, but the oldtlme spirit was lost. The inspir- ation, the verve and elan, the sweet faces, had died out of the picture. The festival became a pretty gaudiness. a. rout of plumes and scarves and feathers. Corinne and more. and Phyllis were truss- ed .up in a make-believe costume. "Gone are the days of Gamelyn."
