THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



XI. 



most successful . In Mr. Mitchell's opin- 

 ion the time has arrived in Canada for 

 national and provincial efFort, and for 

 concerted civic activity in each community, 

 to provide for wide and continuous busi- 

 ness thoroughfares, convenient grouping: 

 of public buildings, rapid transit, ade- 

 quate stri'et traffic circulation, parks ind 

 squares, parkways and boulevards, child- 

 ren's playgrounds and gardens, clean and 

 attractive streets, pure water supply, and 

 efficient sewage disposal, enforcement of 

 laws for structural building and fire safety 

 and for tenement regnjlation. 



The following suggestions were made 

 by Mr. Mitchell to be embodied ultimately 

 in legislation : 



Provision for civic Improvement Com- 

 missions in smaller cities ; provision ap- 

 plicable to cities smaller than already pro- 

 vided for in the Ontario Act (for purchase 

 by municipalities of land required for 

 opening streets themselves, but for an 

 adequate margin on each side, which, after 

 the opening has been completed, can be 

 resold as lots, thus producing a revenue 

 to help meet the cost of the improvement ; 

 provision for municipalities to secure 

 streets wider than sixty-six feet in new 

 sub-divisioms when necessary to conform 

 to the town-planning scheme ; a practical 

 method for any necessary widening of 

 business streets already built up ; an ade- 

 quate control over new sub-divisions so 

 that the layout will conform to modern re- 

 quirements and so that misrepresentation 

 cannot be practised ; provision for control 

 by the municipality, through the Ontario 

 Railway and Municipal Board, of the lay- 

 out and street-planning features olf sub- 

 divisions outside city and town limits for 

 a stated distance. 



At a meeting of the Toronto B'ranch of 

 the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Association 

 held recently, Mr. A. H. MaoLellan, of 

 the Guelph Agricultural College, stated that 

 the sterilizing of soil intended for the 

 growing of lettuce, tomatoes and cucum- 

 bers, results in better production and 

 lessens loes from disease and worms in the 

 soil.

and to enchance it. If that be possible, is a 

 duty none the less binding because it has 

 been made so agreeable. That duty centres 

 in Beauty's chief expression, the skin. 



With intelligent care and the regular 

 use of such perfect preparations as Na-Dru-Co 

 Ruby Rose Cold Cream and Witch Hazel Cream, you can 

 pre.'ierve its bloom in spite of exposure to raw, cold winds, 

 over-heated, steamy kitchens, or ill-ventilated rooms. 



NA-DRU-CO 



Ruby Rose Cold Cream 



does much more than keep the outer skin soft and supple— it 

 feeds the underlying tissues, fills out the tiny hollows, prevents 

 wrinkles, and gives a fresh and wholesome charm. With 

 its subtle odor of fresh roses, and the soothing sensation which 

 it imparts. Ruby Rose Cold Cream is a toilet gem.

is a refined and altogether delightful 

 preparation of Nature's own cooling, heal- 

 ing specific, Witch Hazel. Under its

 ips, sunburn, windburn or irritation after 

 shaving vanish like magic. Used freely 

 after washing it keeps the hands and face 

 soft and comfortable.
