GARDEN TIME Poets and philosophers tell of the satisfaction obtained from cultivation of flower and vegetable gardens, but the practice is not as general as could be wished. In many places there is much less gardening than there was some years ago. People have too many things they want to do with their spare time. In many cities and towns, however, the garden movement has been pushed as a community proposition. People have been urged, in a systematic way, to decorate their grounds with handsome shrub- bery and flowers, and some of these communities have, developed an amazing amount of this beautification. Such towns become noted and every minute of time put in on those flower beds is no doubt paid for in the higher value of real estate that is established in such a town. Home pride is the motive that can best be relied upon to proâ€" mote the gardening movement. People will usually do what their neighbors do. If .you persuade one or two influential families on a street to spenda little more time and money beautifying their places this season, the majority of their neighbors would, within a year or two, fall into line and do the same thing. As respects vegetables, the advantage of the back yard garden ought to be obvious in these times of high prices. The children of the modern community do not have enough share in the home tasks, and it would do them good to have some regular labors in a garden and they could well do a good deal of its work. But the old folks cannot expect them thus to labor unless they also are willing to do some stunts with the spade and hoe. EASTER Easter comes at a glad season of the year. The festival itself, is both commemorative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and as a memorial to the atonement wrought by the death of the Master upon the cross. ' It is hailed with great acclaim in all the Christian churches of the world. In Greek and Latin and in the languages derived from them Easter was known as “Padcha” “Pasch,” “Pasqua,” “Pascua,” “Paques,” etc., from the Chaldee word “Pascha,” equivalent to the Hebrew “Pesach.” The “Destroying Angel’s" act is recalled by the last name in “passing over" the households of the Hebrews when he smote ,the Egyptians, as disclosed in the twelfth chapter of Exodus. This year Easter will fall on April 17. The way by which Easter is determined is that of the first Sunday after the paschal full moonâ€"the fourteenth day of the calendar moon, or the full moon which happens upon or next after March 21 and if the full moon hap- ens on a Sunday, then Easter day is the first Sunday following. As usual local Churches will observe Easter with elaborate programs. It is an event that the children and the grown-ups have learned to look forward to with much pleasurable anticipation; it is an event all should remember with some beautiful thought for the day. Sometimes a floating indebtedness gets heavy enough to sink. Some men who stand on their dignity give.cvidence of not hav- ing much else to stand on.

As I stated . "Sober and Dry" is Getting Dryer Editor Liberal, Sir:â€" Apparcntly the word dry as I used it in signing my former letter has: been greatly misunderstood. When I signed I am Sober and Dry. I liznl rather expected that it would be im- dcrstood that I was in a parched (om (lition and in need of a drink. But horrors of horrors I have been :ic« as their patron saints Hon. Mr. Ron- cy and Ben Spence. S0 to clear up that part of my letter I hasten to ex- plan that I have no desire to be found in that camp. In one of the replies to my letter we were informed that on a trip of sev- eral thousand miles to the coast Mr. Moyle came upon a terrible condition of affairs. In fact he found that a taxi driver who he had hired to drive ,plague, pestilence and famine. him had lost a fare through one of his prospective customers yielding to the demon rum, and all this happen- ed under Government Control. It strikes me that Mr. Moyle went. very far afield to locate a man under the influence of liquor, for I believe under the 0. T. A. the taxi drivers of Ontario found a great deal of extra business driving customers to and from the illegal liquor dives in this province so that I think perhaps the profits made by taxi drivers under prohibition would easily balance their losses under Government Control. However I have no intention of dis- before, liquor is by the will of the people to be sold under Government Control in the Province of Ontario. And the people of Richmond Hill are to have the privilege of buying and consuming in quantities satisfactoryi to the commission regardless of whether Mr. Moyle and Open Eyed, etc., etc., like it or not. And if we cannot purchase it locally why we shall either go to the city of Toronto personally or have it delivered by his Majesty’s mail to our house. Or per- haps we shall be able to get party rates from the idle taxi drivers and all go down together and bring a lead back. However, I maintain it should not be necessary for the citizens of this village to make his or her purch- ases in the city of Toronto. Speaking from an economic standpoint it could hardly be considered good busmess. Is it not better to keep the cookie jar on the bottom shelf and instruct the child he must not touch, than to hide it on the top shelf and have him break his neck to get it? The old ship 0. T. A. was never sea worthy. Year by year she sprung more leaks until at last she is settl- ing down beneath the waves of pub- lic opinion. If there are those who wish to play the role of Cass‘abianca that is their business but they should not ask the rest of us to go down too. I am sir, Still Sober and Dryer than Ever. Patiently Waiting For An Eye-Opener. Richmond Hill, Ontario. April 10, 1927. Editor Liberal, Sir:â€" This is the Sabbath Day and I'm feeling in a grouchy mood so have de- cided to let Sober and Dry and his contemporaries who have been filling our columns have a piece of my mind. At the last provincial election we discussed and decided the liquor issue so now why not let it drop at least until we try it. Sober and Dry, I think is more dry than he is sober: that is if he were not dry he would not be sober. He has suffered from the Raney-Ben Spence drought so long I don’t wonder that he is dry. But even if his tongue is hanging out a foot and he is panting like a blood hound I think he could wait until he got to the oasis of Toronto to quench his thirst. Wait till our beverage dictators see how business is and if not satisfactory there will soon be a store opened here despite all that the apostles of Ben Spence and Co. can avail. Meanwhile hold your peace, Sober and Dry because in my opin- ion you’re going to be a whole lot dryer before you gargle any of the flood gates the better chance there is of having them remain open. The idea of even the wettest government controller never was that there should be a liquor store in Richmond Hill Such a policy which would place un- necessary temptation in the way of wayward youth would be uncal- led for and disastrous. Let’s give the new legislation a chance and not ask that the country which is now promised a little moisture should be flooded. It would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Let‘s be temperate and show the world that Ontario can have spirits on sale with- out all the manhood and womanhood going to the dogs. The new regula- tions will soon be on trial and if we approve of them it’s up to the peo- ple whether or not they are a success. THE LIBERAL,_I_tICHMOND HILL. ONT. rdatory service for India reflects the highest honor on men who gave their life service for those countries and their people. But there is beyond all question one side of Britain’s connection with the Chinese which does no credit to the British statesmen who were responsi- ble for the development which were brought about under their instruc- tions which include both the opium war and the later one sometimes known as the Bowring war both with the full approval and endorsement of Lord Palmerston. Of the former Glad- stone said “that a war more unjust in its origin and more calculated in its progress to cover this country with disgrace I do not know and have not read of.” Lord Elgin once gov- ernor of Canada wrote, “I never felt so ashamed of myself in my life. I feel that I am earning a place for myself in the litany after the world’s When i1 saw the evidences of unrivalled in- dustry and matured fertility .combinâ€" ed and beyond them the white mountâ€" tain rangeâ€"I thought bitterly of those who for the most selfish ob- jects are trampling under foot this ancient civilization.

HENRY MOYLE. WasiGoing Blind TESTIMONIAL In regard to my recent recovery ifrom illness caused from ExophthaL .mic G01tre, I feel it my duty to write this testimonial for the benefit of your medical practice, also for the thous- ands of sufferers in Toronto and elsewhere. I firmly state I was a to- tal wreck. My heart pulsation was as high as 150 to the minute, my nerves lwere so bad I could not sit or even lay still for ten seconds. My eyes .protruded quite noticeably and were so painful at times they were almost lunbearable. I was obliged to wear colored glasses. Even then it was ‘impossible for me to get around at intervals. I was in the hospital in 1922 and had preliminary operation, had two months electric treatments, which I was given to understand would cure me. But later informed it would be necessary for final operation. The DOCTORS TOLD ME IT WAS IM- POSSIBLE TO CURE GOITRE IN ANY OTHER WAY. I had one year of suffering and Imarking time in hospitals and was sick of it all. What really discourâ€" aged ine more than anything against the operation was when ‘I first went in the hospital in March, 1922, I met a young man not more than 20 years old, who was suffering from the same complaint I was. He had been in the hospital in Edmonton, and through some mistake or neglect was in a very critical condition. He went under his operation the day after I was admit- ted to the same Toronto hospital. He had every hope of a speedy recovery, but the operation proved futile. The poor fellow lost the sight of both eyes ‘ and is still in the hospital. I did not like his operation at all. His neck looked awful. I couldn’t see opera- tion at all after that. So after eight months of hospital and electric treatâ€" ments and trying to get in shape for final operation, I saw Dr. Thuna’s advertisement to CURE GOITRE WITHOUT OPERATION. I decided to give it a trial and if possible avoid the awful scar and af- ter effects and I am more than pleased with the results. I am glad to be able to say I feel better than I ever did. I work eleven hours a night and I am gaining weight and looking better ev- ery day. People who saw me two years ago are astonished at the won- derful change. I want everyone to know Dr. Thuna’s wonderful treatment. You do not have to take it for years before you notice any resultâ€"in from five to nine days you will see a great differâ€"- soothing syrup from a local dispen- 22g; Isaayml ffiiiingCUIltEeD aIdhzcizilzrel sary.

I assure you I certainly would have been very thankful if someone had told me where to go. Do not think [this is a fake or another or the so- ,called testimonials you see every day "advertising great corn salve or the wonderful Belgian Hair Tonic. This is genuine, I assure you. Any sufferer wishing to see me in proof of what I say may do soâ€" â€"we1- come. Owing to my work at night, you will be obliged to call Saturday, 8 to 11 a.m., or Sunday, 1 to 3 pm.
