Good Food ObtainabIe,
All Restrictions Removed

The golden gorse and the primroses have
gone off common and hedge now, but the
country has settled into the rich and opu-
lent verdure of England. and the rEododen-
drons bursting in the copses, and in a
few weeks every garden will blaze with
England's roses Through all the summer.
particularly the early summer, wien the
evenings are long-they save daylight and
il isn't dark now until Hate in the
evening-the sweetness and the pr sperity
and the verdant richness of England lie all
about the traveller. In the fall the heather
blooms. And up to the last days of October
there are long stretches of good weather. de-
spite the occasional long stretches of bad.
General conditions are much improved.
Britshers still complain that their roads are
not back to pre-war smoothness. and that
prices are still outrageously high. But the
American will be pleasantly disappointed in
both respects. All wartime restrictions on
food have now vanished, and food is good
and plentiful. Mems clothes are little
cheaper than in New York, but are of won
derful Irish, Scotch and English cloths.
Womens clothes also good but women
say they are neither varied nor as smart
as those of either Paris or New York
Excellent cigarettes and tobacco can be
obtained throughout Great Britain, strictly
in the American taste for both. and only
cigars are costly. 1t is impossible to buy
even a decent cigar for less than a shilling.
Drinkables Of course, are still limited to
certain hours but the quality has recovered
and from the big cafes of the London hotels
to the humblest village pub it is always
possible to get good wine. good beer and
good whskey.

there is an effectively organized effort 20

lakes with the coppery sheen Of a peaco2k's

The first thing that struck me about
Jasper was its peculiar resemblance to the
emerald greens and snowy opalescence of the
Banff-Lake Louise region further south and
to the majestic panoramic fiery tints Of the
great mountain amphitheatres of Colorado

There were lazy days rowing on the

quiet days on the edge of stupendous gorges,

What 1t Costs to Make
A Trip to Jasper Park

How much will it cost? Just what you
make it cost plus your fare from whatever
point you start-from s125 to $3.50 for re-
turn fare from Atlantic coast cities, less
from the middle West. At the camp, or
tent cities, from SIS to s21 a week; in the
cabins, where you cook your own meals, just
what you make it, from $4 to $40 week.
Horse hire is extra, of course You can
build log cabin Of your own with veranda
and slide windows and sailor berth beds for
$500, or three room cabin for $500. Motors
pass the door every day.

retains moisture and will give you rheuma-
tism. Wear wool, or half wool, or balbrig-
gan. The dressing gown you don at night
should be warm and have a high rolling
collar, for where the winds come down from
the SHOWS you will have a crick In your
neck unless you place something between
your bare neck and the pillow.
Should you wear boomers, or skirts or
what?
Whatever you have found suits you best ;
but in this big timber country only hard
twilled. resistant surface like hired mans
blue Jumpers or childs rompers will resist
the catch and snare Of those stabbing un Ger
branches.
I admit the matter Of a camp bed that Is
comfortable, especially If you have pitched
tent near the upper SHOWS or in valley
where the chilled mists lie at night, is diff
ficult unless you know how to do it; and not
one camp outfitter in ten knows how to do it.
Nothing but fur below and above will keep
YOU warm In such quarters. Therefore a big
rug is the first requirement. The second is
in the build of your bed. If the ground is
damp-you cannot always choose your
camping ground-the first layer of the big
branches to give spring to your bed should
not be less than two or three feet Deep and
note well--for here lies the great secret-the
branch end must be at the outer edge Of the
bed, the soft foliage ends overlapping ex-
actly in the middle where you lie. On top
of this should be eighteen inches of the
softest finest branches in foliage you can
find. No cot bed can equal this for comfort,
for the simple reason no cot bed mattress
can keep out the cold Of midnight.

M TORE evidently than ever before,
4fl peace in Ireland is up to Ulster,
if the guesses of the London CORE
spondents are correct. The Sim Fem,
it is said, has submitted specific plans
which the government thinks may be
feasible if Ulster agrees to them.
Consequently, the cabinet asked Sir
James Craig, the Ulster premier, to
90 to London for consultation. Thu
plan, it is believed, provides for the
extension of powers and the democra-
tization of the council of Ireland to
make IL really a national parliament,
with Ulster consenting to come in as a
province, retaining its autonomy. The
scheme would call for ii plebiscite in
the counties of Fermanagh and Ty-
rome. to determine whether they should
adhere TO southern Ireland or Ulster.
So far the utterances of the Ulster
leaders Indicate that they will not
c-ountenance anything leading to the
diminution of the area under the con-
troll of h Ulster government. How
yer the Sim Fein delegates were very
hopeful last week that a common
agreement would be reached be-
fore long.
