If you have it is time you were awake to the fact that there is a science which corrects the CAUSE of dis-ease; does not employ medicine, or surgery, or osteopathy to secure the results, but gets the results in 90 per cent of cases.

CHIROPRACTIC adjustments will correct the cause of your ailments, and the chances are greatly in your favor that you will be rœtored to health. As a matter of fact.

Tbe Popularity of the Sherlock-Manning Piano

A piano that stands the severe cli mate also rough usage, a piano now so much in demand in all parts of the Dominion of Canada and the United States that the large day and night shifts are worked to the limit in order to supply the demand.

In the near future another large factory will be built in the east to save the excessive freight from Lon- don. Over 700 Sherlock-Manning Pianos have been sold in the City of London alone since 19lk In Toronto, Winn'peg and all the Western cities, practically the same results were at- tained.

Premier flrury Got Majmty of 2,SOD

Milton, Ont., Feb. 16.— Premier E. C. Drury was elected in Halton county today by a majority of about 2,300 over Edward J. Stephenson, of Toronto, the returned .ioldi^r vho opposed the Premier. The election of Mr, Drury was no siirpi*ige here, not- withstanding that Mr. Stephenson, at his final meeting here on Satur- day night, predicted that he would defeat the Premier by 2,000 mnjoii- ty. The soldier candidate had no or- ganization behind him, but was ac- tively supported by individual re- turned mea.

A very light vote was polled, this probably being due to the fact that the roads in parts of the county were piled high with snowdrifts. The far- mers give this as the reason for the Premier’s comparatively small vote.

Canads's Becord Compar^ With II.S.

A comparison of the last hundred days of fighting of the Canadian Corps with the much advertised Ar- gonne-Meuse offensive of the Ameri- cans, reveals the interesting fact that the Canadians obtained almost exactly the same results “with 105,- 000 troops that the Americans did with 650,000.” The above wlte one of the many side-lights thrown on some of the more unfamiliar aspects of the war, especially those related to the role of the heavy artillery, by Brigadier-General Andrew G. L. Mc- Naughton, C.M.G., D.S.O., who ad- dressed the Canadian Club at Tor- onto Monday.

“Without wishing to draw unkind comparisons,” he said, “it is note- worthy that the number, of prison- ers, machine guns and guns, trench mortars taken, the number of Ger- man divisions met and defeated, the number of square miles of territory liberated were about the same in each of the two inâtances I have mentioned. The Americans employed six times as many men for about one-half the time. They also em-

_ployed practically the same propor- tions of guns per 100 troops. Their casualties were more than twice as heavy. But the Canadian guns at- tained their much greater effective-

's by expending two and one-half times as much ammunition per 1,000 Infantry per day as did the Ameri- cans.” i^

THE WO^ CHANGES It is not so long ago that the rn^n

who proposed to fly through the air was jeered at as a “nut.” Jules Verne in^his tales of sailing beneath the sea caused many a smile,*' Yet the submarine is with us and was the most vicious weapon of death in the world war.

To-day Mr. N. Cauchon, engineer, prokoses to cheapen water transpor- tation by constructing a canal from Cardinal to the Ottawa river and getting to the seaboai'd by that route. Mr. Cauchon points out many advantages of this route, and it will be seriously considered by the Inter- national Watei'ways Commission.

This is a forcible reminder of the, manner in which ideas «hange. Not so many >ears ago a resolution something like the following was plac< d b&fore the Counties Council of the united counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry :

“Moved by , seconded by . that this council memorralize Joseph Kerr, M.P.P., to move a resolution in the Ontario Ijegislature requesting the Federal Government to construct a canal Irom a point on the St. Lawrence river at or .near Prescott to a point on the, Ottawa river.”

, This resolution was taken LS a huge joke, and after being dis:fi.ssed for a time an arrangement vvas made by which the mover was called frtm the council chamber for a sufficient length of time to have the in expunged from the minutes. The late Henry Sandfield Macdonald, of Cern- wall, had gre-.;t fun out of iho pro- position and discussion.

Yet to-day the scheme is ieriaied feasible by competent authority, end is being considered uy a serious in- ternational body.— Brockville Recor- der-Times.

How a Brave Gl^garriao Fell

'' 54 Leslie St., Pollokgfaields, Glasgow, Scotland,

^ Jan. 15th, 1920. Dear Mrs. McLennan :—

I am in receipt of your ietter dated 11th Xov. last, it having been sent home here to me from South Russia

I am very glad to be able to give you.the information requested. Your son was killed during the defence of tho town of Tzaritzon, on the River Volga. A machine gun bullet came through the left hand side of the machine and entered your sou’s side, low down, and passing through came out at the right hand groin He leant over and touched Capt! Anderson, D.S.O., saying he was hit. Anderson immediately turned about for the aerodrome; Imt on landing it was discovered that poor old Mao had bled to death on the way home.

I am certain he sulTered no pain because he had that most wonderful smile illuminating his whole face. He was buried three days later in the little portion of the British Military Ceimetery in Ekatemiodar.

His funeral'was attended by many Russians of high rank whom he knew. May I add that his pilot is a Canadian, and before I left Tagamog I gave him your address and he pro- mised to call when he got back.

I hope by now you have received all your son s kit in good condition. Once more expressing my very deep- est sympathy, in which my mother joins. I often mentioned Mac. in mv letters home.

Yours sincerelv, THOS. F. AITCHÎSON, R.A.F.

Captain J. L. McLennan M.C., the gallant young officer referred to above was "a son of Mr. and Mrs Duncan McLennan of Ridgewood! Lancaster. He was born on the 5th December 1889, educated at Bishop's College School and the Roval Milit-

Kingston, graduating in 1911. In the autumn of that year he proceeded to England and took a Commission as second lieutenant in the Array Service Corps. Two weeks mter the outbreak of the great war he accompanied his unit to France' Mid was in the retreat from Mons’ He served two years in France durl i^ which time he was promoted to the rank of Captain. After a short period in England Capt. McLennan was sent to Greece, and from there to Siberia. While in the latter coun- try he was an acting Major and sec- ond in command of the Motor Trans- port Column to which he was at- tached. For his services he was aw- arded the Military Cross and the Order of the White Eagle (Siberian) in addition to his 1914 Mons Star.

In the early part of 1918 he trans- ferred to the Royal Air Force giving up his majority to make this trans- fer. After the signing of the armis- tice he was in Constantinople for thræ months and from there return- ed to Salonika for a short time. In May, 1919, he went to Southern Russia as adjutant of his squadron but relinquished this appointment to return to his work as an oWver which,of necessity brought him con- stantly into heavy fighting. _ Éd.

Full lenten instructions artd re- gulations, were explained by the pas- tors in the Roman Catholic Churches here, on Sunday. ITiose are the same as last year.

n BUnilG MEU MDE United action by every available

source to stop buying of American goods to stem the disastrous drop in exchange was on Friday last tak- en by the Board of Trade, bankers, wholesalers and Women’s organiza- tions of Winnipeg.

Greater personal economy, careful selection of Canadiaji or British goods in preference to American pro- ducts, increased production, and eli- mination of luxuries, were the -main points advocated.^

Great reduction in trade With the United Slates by local firms was de- clared to have taken place, and firms were said to be busy arranging for trade with Great Britain in T.nes hereiofore imported from the United States.

■\Vam.n are preparing to patronize, as far os possible, only British and Canadian goods, It was learned.

The Banker’s Association issued this statement :

“Excess of our Imports from the United States over our exports is running at a level for which we have not the ready money to pay. Exten- sions of United States credits. Gov- ernment, corporation or individual, would provide quick relief, but this would be only a temporary measure, unless at the same time our people settled down to produce more and so rectity our balances.

“The individual citizen would give immediate help by not buying goods made In the United States whoever goods manufactured in Canada or Great Britain would meet his re- quirements/'

'The Daughters of the Dominion, placed theipselves on'record as op- posed to the pttrdiajBe of American wearily material and articles of ready<^nade clothing for which Can- ada and British substitutes may be found.

He writes :

Lancaster, 17th Feb. 1920. Dear Sir ;

The returns for the Presbytery of Glengarry in the Forward Movo- meut campaign are still very incom- plete. But the results are splendid, canvas has not yet been made ; in others it is only partially done; In none perhaps is it absolutely com- plete. But the results are spendld. Most congregations expect to go over their objective and the Presbyt- ery as a whole will. Its objective is $55,000 and last night (Monday) It was about $50,000.

IIPPIVING THI[ ACID TEST The Dominion executive of th»

Great War Veterans’ Association of Canada is conridering a resolution defining the attitude of the organls* ed war veterans toward the aims oi organized labor. This resolution dorses certain general principles sIs fecting labor as follows :

“1. The right of labor to organize. “2. The recognition of organized

labor and its right to negotiate with its employers.

“3. The right to, strike, within the constitutional authority of the Do* minion of Canada. lb

“4. That all labor organizationn be incorporated.

“5. That all contracts entered in- to between employers and organized labor organizations, when within the constitution of the Dominion of Canada, i shall be l^al and binding upon the • 'contracting parties or or- ganizations.

“6. Reasonable traae tests for candidates to trades unions, scran to protect employers and the gen«^ al public from 'incompetents* and 'inefficients/

“7. That in order for a strike to be lawful, it shall be neoessary that a majority of the employees affected thereby shall have declared by bal- lot in favor of such strike.

“8. That such legislation ^ould not In any way circumscribe the ob- jects of labor or dictate its polities» but should regulate only its mate- ode.*"

There is a lot of good sound sen- sible logic In the above.

Awarded Contract At the adjourned meeting of th#

Counties Council held in Cornwall, the early part of last week, Mr. Ed- gar Irvine, of Huntingdon, who for i a couple of years past was engaged ** in building good road.s, here in Glen- garry, has been awarded another contract covering the following stret- ches: P.

The Game of Nations By DONNA SHERWOOD BOGERT.

CHAPTER XV. Wide awake, Trevamon stood with,

his hands on the railing, drinking in the cold air. The full moon and twinkling stao.'s made the heavens a thing of dazzling beauty. Beneath, the desolate, sandy tracts gleamed like molten silver, while far away to the northeast a coppery, red glow be-j tokened the light of a prairie fire. |

He began his descent of .the stair-- case slowly,- buttoning his overcoat tightly across his chest, half minded to return and crawl into his comfort- able bed. But as he hesitated, he made a startling discovery—a few feet from the ground, a broad beam of light issuing neither from moon nor stars, lay athwart the curving

, steps. ' I Why Trevaiiion was so amazed to’

find Herfbrd awake and occupied at that hour it would be hard to tell.

Making no pretense of caution, he drew nearer. The heavy shatters which , as *a rule were drawm across the windows, were flung wide to -the night, an/i .from ;thin came the sound

. of voices. Herfoi:d’s,.and one other. Trevanion recognized it after a mo- ment belonging to Beverly, soldier of fcrtuuè. • -

“I den^t know what to make of it,”; Beverly was reiterating, “I don't Like it!” The ^emphatic thump which' reached the listener's ears was caus-| ed apparently by the. impact of the speaker's .fist dg'ainst solid wood, j “He’s practically,your guest, Herford,' but I don’t see .how I, can let him go in the morning. I'm not fool enough to. think he committed the murder but| for heaven’s sake, V/hat's his connec-| tion with the affair? What was the' abject of his tri^T to the mountains ? | I've trailed hini for the last three weeks without beinç a whit the wiser. One thing,” his voice dropped to a| lowered notov ■“he's taken your sister i into his confidence. I corralled her in her tent at' midnight just i>efor*e they

■ left, told her about finding the boy’a, clothes and all—and would you be-i liev6v it, she'd known it all along!

• She’s a ' game little sport. Do you think she’d give the show away ? Pleaded with'me to trust Trevanion , and promised me it would all come ^ out right in the end. I'd give a good deal tb hear ,a woman defend me as' that little sister of yours did Tre-j vanion.”: !

On the stairs without Trevanion , stood motionless. . He had not intend- ed to eavesdrop but: every word had rung clear. The fact that Beverly, had been trailing him in jconnection with the Schneider case was disçon-f; ceirting énou^h '^ut worse still,' the ■woman he loved—he admitted it now —;had s'bood for him against law and order on the strength of his wo*rd alone. And how had he repaid her? By insultin'^ thoughts and brutal car- esses wh very todch had 'been de-, fileinent! |

Stumbling heaviily he went on down the -stairs,’ heedless of discovery, burning with a semse of impotent shame., He passed thé lighted window but the two men, deep in conversa- tion, seemed unaware of- his careless departure.

The clinging sands dragged at his feet as he turned and "walked toward the river. Anythiing, anywhere to escape the torture of his restless mindl Trevanion sat derwn upon the bank and /Stared at it with unseeing eyes, his right h%nd clenched against a heavy slab of rock.

“You’re ratiiei» SHieccpected like’ yourself,” retorted ..Trevanion, “but as it happ-fâie, you’re the very person I w^nt to -see.”r Gr^s:jpang the shrink- ing figure by tfre^llar,.,he propelled

The boy squirmed frantically in Trevanion’s clutch. j

“I’ll tell,” he grasped, “if you’ll keep Beverly away. He’d 'ang me sure—and fer a snake like Schneider!”

“Go -on—never mind Schneider—I ' want to hear your side of it.” ^ |

Suddenly the lad ' squared his shoulders. “I'm English,” he an- nounced resolutely, “and Schneider’s German. I went to work fer ’im over in the setlement last year^^causô times was ’ard and I couldn’t find nothin’; else. He'^hd a furniture factory.” I

“Well?'.’ the listener’s tone "was sharp -with interest. j

“■Well—I 'adn’t 'been there long afore I begins to see the old man was workin’ on a side line. ’Alf the wood that Come in wasn’t used but some-j how it disappeared' and always at night; and sometimes in the momin^ the factory’d be full of lumber that weren’t there the .night before. It struck me sort of'odd like, so I ast; the old man about it once and he was that mad I thought ’e’d choke—told me to mind my own business or ’e’dj bust in my bloofnin’ ’ead. 'Well, one’ day I was feelin’ kind of sick, pains' in'my side and cold , like, arid' when it comes to qbittin’ time I c^hed in behind a pile of lumber^afore I ’ad, time to call out.

Playing Street Car. Little Ethel was prattling in her

aimless way, and sister Maude was naturally quite unsuspicious,

“Papa,” said Ethel,' “do you remem- ber the trip we made to grandma’s last week?”

“Yes,” replied the father, absent- mindedly. ''

“In the street car?^' persisted Ethel. ' “Y.OS.” Sister Maude yawned. She had <

been up later than usual the previous evening, and the evidence of her weariness could not be suppressed.

“Do you remember,” continued Ethel, “what the conductor said?”

“Yes,” answered her father, still without looking up from his paper.

“He said,” asserted Ethel, “that if you didn’t want to pay for me you’d have to take m® iH J'SUS IS-P fthd let someone else nàvè ïnÿ séàr.':

simple exercises that will help to de- pi’^ctice in returning to the inter- velop a graceful and sjmimetrical form:

To establish practice of that kind in the home you should keep an eye on the children’s play and games since fickleness often shows itself there. Encourage the child' to finish the house of blocks once started, the game once entered upon.

Bend as much as possible each time, thus ex- ercising your muscles that aren’t used during the day.

Place your hands on your hips again in the same position; then plac® the right foot about two feet forward. Have your body perfectly poised ■with the weight evenk/ on both feet. Jlepeat several times with each foot forward, then sideways and backward. This develops grace in walking.

Appetizing School Lunches. During the cold weather special

care should be given to the children’s school lunch. Where it is impossible for children to have a hot dish at noon, a variety of good substantial lunches should be planned so that the child may be sufficiently well nourished to withstand the cold. If anything is put in ..the dinner-pail while warm, the lid should be left off for a time or the steam ■will affect the entire lunch. The meal should not consist entirely of meat sand- wiches, neither should .it he all sweet foods. A meal of bread and butter, cheese and nuts, is not a well-balanced one. Part of these things should be replaced with a piece of cake and some kind of fruit.

Power of the Tides, We are accustomed to look upon the

tides as representing enormous un- utilized power. If we could only put them to work, they would run all the machinery in the world.

But Is this true? Undoubtedly-^f we coùld put them

to work on a scale sufficiently great. But that this will ever be practicable, economically, is declared doubtful.

Engineers who have made a study of the subject say that one acre of water rising and falling ten feet would yield only four horsepower. Taking into view cost of plant, that could néver pay.

They say that tidal power •w’ould be worth developing only In a few locali- ties—perhaps in the Bay of Fundy, where tides rise and fall seventy feet; in Cook’s inlet, fifty feet; at East- port, Me., eighteen feet.

brain-power, the frog would be an in- tellectual prodigy. Its cranium Is huge, but, alas! its brain is very small.

Superficial Reconciliations. The minister sighed as he tied his

horse at the Thornton gate. Of late, troubled thoughts had come to hfffi' whenever he passed the big, white house on the hill. .Tohn ThoriitoJ» was an intelligent, well-infornîod man, highly esteemed in the community, for years a trusteq,. in the church, twice supervisor of the town, now nominally^ a justice of the peace. He ought to know without being told how shallow, his reasoning was in the matter of Rueben Graves. '■ '

The quarrel antedated the ministers pastorate at Hillsdale, but he kne'w' all Its ugly details. John Thornton haW;' broached the subject every time he‘ had entered the house, and he would ' hear again this morning all that sop- histical reasoning^ to convince the lis- tener that Rueben Graves was no “neighbor” of John Thornton’s, but, by the teaching of the Good Book It- self, a “heathen man and publican.”

John Thornton had been three months bedridden, and the minister looked down pityingly at the silvery hair on the white pillow. Perhaps the genial kindliness of the face, with some subtle suggestion of unrest, en- couraged the minister in his faltering resolution.

“There was one thing about Graves —It happened years and years ago,” the Invalid began; but the clergyman checked him with a gesturo-

“Don’t, Mr. Thornton!” He was silent a moment, watching the sur- prised look in the eyes of the older man. “Pardon my abruptness; but If, as you say, you’ve convinced your own conscience that Reuben Graves does not fall within Christ’s definition of a neighbor, there’s no need j?f bringing more evidence. God knows all the circumstances from beginning to end. What you think or what I think doesn’t, matter a turn of the hand. We’re all trying to make a superficial reconcilaition between the plain teachings of the gospel and our own thinking and speaking and acting —whittling down God’s yardstick, with the foolish idea that by this means we can ‘measure up,’ We don’t eeem to realize that it's OUT little foot rule we're using, and that God will use hisi own when the time comes. When Christ spoke of ‘sin,’ ‘repent- ance,’ ‘love,’ ‘forgiveness,’ ‘neighbor,’ and the like, those words meant some- thing definite to Him. They mqan' just the .same npw. They will mean' just the same when we’rè all judg©4'

‘■by them by and, by. Our little bicker- ings a^d‘ surface reconciliations are> like thinking we’re nearer getting a piece of property by setting a ridicu- lously low price on it In our own mind without consulting the owner.” •

“If I'd been convinced I was on safe ground,” John Thornton said slowtr:' and reflectively, “I shouldn’t have gone on talking about it the way I did; No, I can’t put my arguments off on God, so what’s the use of them? Stop at Reuben Graves’s when you go home and tell him I want him to come and see me. Tell him I’d con^ to him If I could. Tell him—tell him I- can’t go out yorider without doing my part.”'l.

Two Had Evil Significance Among Early Christi2Ui8—

Seven is Mysterious. It is a curious fact that vaylous num*

bers enjoy good reputations while others have always borne evil reputa- tions. Everybody has, of course, heard of 13 as a very unlucky number, and there are many person, not in other ways superstitious, who cling to the notion that 13 is Indeed an evil num- ber.

In Scotland you will find that the number 9 Is the unlucky one. There is a historical reason for that, inae» much as the nine of diamonds wak considered the curse of that country. It it said that If a person sees nine magpies in Scotland it is a sign that the worst kind of misfortune Is soon to befall him.

Consider the case of the cat-o’-nip^ tails', that old instrument of punish» ment in the navy. It had nine thongs, and was a terrible means of punish- ment for erring seamen. There are nine crowns in heraldry. Many years ago, when fairies were really consider- ed as living- on earth, the witches told people that if they wished to see them they must hunt for nine grains of wheat-on a four leaf clover. The old hydra of ancient days hàd nine heads. Leases for very long periods are frequently made out for ninety- nine years. When the angels (as given in Milton's “Paradise Lost”) were cast out of heaven, they fell for nine days.

Significance of One and Two. According to the cosmogony of

mediœval times there were nine earths, nine heavens, nine rivers of perdition and nine order of angels. These numbers represented a - multi- tude of the trinity and w'ere consider- ed sacred in effect. So, as nine re- presented pertection, we find that it meant the greatest possible of any- thing. In that way we get such ex- pressions as “a nine day’s wonder.” “a cat lias nine lives,” “nine tailprs make a man,” etc.

And yet the number-'9 was not the only one that had varied ^aud porten- tous meanings. The Japanese hold that number 1 is the luckiest poss'ble. In farming, for example, they plan to do so much in one day, and what can- not be accomplished is left undone for awhile.

Among the early Christians the number 2 had a vei? evil significance. Inasmuch as hell was made on the second day,, along with heaven and earth, our forefathers shunned that digit. It cannot be gainsaid, how- ever we may laugh at the supersti- tions of people of several, 'centuries ago, that the number 2 has certaiqly

j been unlucky for many rulers. We ! often consider Henry II., George II. j and Charles II. as very unfortunate I rulers, but they were not as unlucky i as James II., Richard II. and Ethel-

dred II., who were all forced to abdi- cate their thrones, and still greater were the misfortunes of Edward 11. and William II., who were murdered, and Harold II., who was killed in bat- tle.

The figure 4 is considered very lucky by most people, especially by those who believe in the potency of the four loaf clover.

Six Was Supreme. \

By the Cabalists it was believed that 6 was the supreme number, inas- much as much of their belief hinged on that number. The Jewish servant always served for six years. The world was said to have been .created In six days.

As to number 7, it has been Invest- ed with more mystery than all the other numbers put togeher. We have

"a septenary division of time; old feasts would last for seven days; Naa- man was sent to wash in the Jordan seven times; Elijah sent his servant from Mount Carmel seven times look for rain, and .Jericho was visited for seven days by' seven priests with seven trumpets, and* on tho seventh day they went around the city seven times.

On the other hand there are many pepole who will have nothing to do with 17 if they can possibly help it. Perhaps this is along the Id^ that two ne^tives make anc.afflrmatlve, the number 1 being considered lucky az\d also the number 7, but the com- bination may be considered as pro- ducing much strife.

Number 6 is about tne only one that has little meaning attached to it by the superstitious. '

It is really surprising^ how much happiness or misery lies in the circle of a wedding ring.

'‘Shall I buy more land?” is a ques- tion which keeps coming. Here is ouï answer: If you would have to do poorer farming on the land you now have, don't get any more on your hands. , If you can make better tha land you now own. and if you are sura you do the work on the newpart well and thoroughly without shortening your life or running any risk for tha rest of the family it would be all right to buy. But first of aU ^sk: “Would I really be the gainer in the long run? Would it be better for me, f«jï my wifa and the boys and v-drlal”

PADDY’S BLIND EYE.

A Delightful Story From the Distressful Island.

“ 'Tls all the ingredients you’re ■wanting the lad has!” Michael Doyle exclaimed, in an impressive whisper. “Isn't he in love with Kathleen O’Rlor- dan, and she away to service without so much as'a smile at him, and isn’t he at this moment with drink taken?”

Michael Doyle dealt in groceries, bacon, boots, and ready-made clothes, held a seven-day license, and called his establishment the “Ballinalee Ho- tel.” _

A political label in Ireland being as essential a thing as„ a Christian name, he was at that moment an ardent Sinn Feiner; but he supported the Na- tionalist cause by stealth, and supplied the local police with bottled porter In secret.

“Mind you,” he went on, “it’s not for the likes of me to be knowing what you’re after, but if it’s a likely lad you’re wanting, there’s Paddy Murphy there.”

From the other side of the partition, that divided the long, low-ceilinged room came the sound of a man's voice, singing lugubriously. The two men looked at one another, land then, finishing their glasses, made their way through the swing door. A tall, broad-shouldered young man, with crisp dark hair and the bluest of blue eyes, who carried himself with a cer- tain military stiffness, was leaning against the counter.

“Top o' the morning to you!” said one of the men. ‘It's a mighty fine singing voice you have.”

Paddy sighed heavily. “It*s mighty little heart I have for

singing, and herself away these four days. Dear knows where, and not a word to me, nor a look at me.”

He was in that mood when the story of his unfortunate love-affair had to be told, and his, two companions proved the mo.st sympathetic listeners.

After a period of restrained court- ship, he had approached Kathleen O’Riordan on the question of marriage according to the , prescribed Irish form—that is to say. he as^ed her what her father would be giving her as her marriage portion, and clearly set out his 'own material prospects. There was the grant of land he was to have from the Government for hav- ing fought. the Germans since 1914,- and the bit of a cottage that was to be given him.

But somehow there had been a hitch. He had blundered,'or he had offended her when he had suggested that'Michael O’ïliordan, her father, ought to have given her the cow.

One of his companions renewed his glass of porter and becahie confiden- tial.

“ 'Tis easy to see what was in the girl’s mind, Paddy,” he saidT “You were bringing her nothing but pro- mises, and promise.^ from the English Government! Glory be, man, what's the ùse of such promises? Where’s your land and your bit of a cottage? Sure, it was Kathleen who saw they were all in the air!”

Once embarked on the fertile sub- ject of the English Government, the co^ersation became warm and en- thusiastic. Before half an hour was up, Paddy saw clearly and distinctly that it was Dublin'Castle, arid all that Dublin .Castle stoc^ for, that had robbed him of his Kathleen. The elder of the two men became eloquent on the theme.

“What are they doing now? v They fill the land with the minions of the law. They let loose upon our country an army of profligate and licentious soldiers. They ”

At this point Paddy interrupted liis diatribe with quite unexpected ve- liemeupe.,

“They are npt! A dacenter lot of boys you never met. Sure, wasn’t it myself that foughrwith them out there

in Prance for close on five years? And you to be saying such things of them! The Government’s a lot of blood thirs- ty scoundrels ; but there’s no man says a word against the British Army to Paddy Murphy!”

The two meii- passed hastily over this difficult and somewhat confused point.

“ 'Tls this cruel, tyrannous Govern- ment that’s making you suffer, as it's making all Ireland suffer, Paddy. And will you. be sitting down here quietly without striking a blow? Is that the way for a man to take it?”

Stealthily they played on Paddy’s feelings.

Arms were required for the army that was to free Ireland from England s rule. In a house not twenty miles a-vvBy—they were careful to name no names, ^or to trust their recruit with any deflnite^particulars—there was re- ported to be a small armory of sport- ing-guns and rifles. To obtain these was their object: and Paddy, now per- fectly convinced that the Englisji Gov- ernment was responsible for all his woes, readily consented to assist them.

It was midnight v/hen Paddy alight- ed from his bicycle at the cross-roads in the hills that rose above Ballina- lee. The other four men who com- posed the raiding-party had already assembled, and at a whispered word from their leader they mounted their machines and set off.

It was a long ride. It was not until half-past one that they alighted in front of a large, rambling stone house.

Paddy was strangely excited. The darkness,'the mystery that seemed to pervade the silent house in front of which they stood, the curious reserve of his companions, all served to stir his blood. Never had he felt the same thrill since the last time he had gone over the top in Flanders; and, except for his unfortunate excursion in love, life had beerr very stale and flat since his return to Ireland.

Having stacked their bicycles oil the lawn, the leader of the party is- sued masks mad(^ of dark cloth to cov^er the eyes of the men.

“ 'Tls a great blow we strike for Ireland to-night!” Paddy whispered, as he received his.

The leader, having ordered him to keep silent, collected the party in a group round him and gave them his instructions. As soon as the door was opened they were to rush the house, seize and bind anybody who showed any resistance, and search the place from garret to cellar-for arms.

“You, Murphy, will be responsible for the female servants. Get them to- gether and lock them up.”

The front door bell was rung, and, after some parleying with the terrified butler, the door was opened, and they were in the house.

Paddy, as he followed in the rear of his companions, caught a glimpse in the dark hall of a white, huddled fig- ure. Clearly it was one of the female servants whom it was his business to dispose of.

. The butler was alreadV being urged up the stairs at the point of an auto- matic pistol, and Paddy was alone. He approached that shrinking bundle of white—the bundled appearance be- ing due, he discovered later, to a large flannel petticoat that had been hasti- ly^ donned as a dressing-gown—and addressed it pleasantly.

“Now, you'll come quietly, or will I be taking you in my arms?”

There was a faint gasp, which he took for one of terror.

He pjit his arm reassuringly round the girl’s waist, and led her to the door of an adjoining room.

“Now, my dear, step, in there, and be quite aisy! .I’ll-be fetching along the other lassie In a moment.”

Something very like a giggle-came from the figure by his side. It stirred a romantic chord fn P.ady’s heart, and, forgetful of t^e wrongs he had suf- fered at the.,hahds of her sex, he bent over her, and pressed a chaste kiss on her lips.

“The divil scald you, for the fine

Getting Through a Day A man sometimes makes magnifl-

<ceut plans for his hours, and is per- turbed to find that his schedule has

■crumbled to dust like a puffball in his hands and sundown leaves him noth- ing that seems worthy to be set down in a record. Probably it was in a mood -of the blues, at finding the difference between wbat he meant to do and what he really did, that Stevenson abandoned keeping a diary, calling it “a melancholy school of posturing self-dehision.” |

Wbat puts the world out of patience ‘ with most biographers is that they re- present the life they have described as a chain of successes.

StrachjsY's “Eminent Victorians” is a horribly irritating book in its sub- cutaneous ’ironies; but at any rate,; It does not hesitate to regard those

Yet even this master left j us a little too piuch in the stars amid vague abstractions.

Beauty de- fies the pessimism of the poet and keeps her lustrous eyes and her ver/ meil cheek as long as she pleases. She is all laughter and teasing-—to be serious is tiresome; morals and ethics are oppressive; and there is no study and no duty but a .game.

But the leaders of the world find their .pleasure as they move, in swift i and sidelong glances, by incidents and 1 flashes and asides.

faithful lover you are, Paddy Murphy!” Paddy jumped back as if he were

shot. The next moment his fumbling fingers had switched on the electric- torch he carried in his pocket.

“Kathleen!” The light lit up the rosy face of

Kathleen O’Riordan. The next mo- ment Paddy had recovered himself.

“Sure, didn’t I know it was you, Kathleen? And me just pretending to frighten you, to punish you for the way you left me.”

"It’s a great liar you are, Paddy!” she answered. “Didn’t I know It was just amusing yourself with me you were, and making love to every girl you came across at the same time?”

All the bitterness of his love welled up into his heart.

-“I was not, Kathleen. It’s yourself knows that it’s oiily you I love. Your father can keep his cow, if only I can have you. Thera’s no baste in the world that I’d weigh against you.”

“It’s likely that I’d be taking a man that comes breaking into à gentle- man’s house with a scrap of dirty cloth over his eyes!”

Paddy tore the masl^from his face, and flung it passionately on the floor.

“I love you, Kathleen!” She went on composedly: “An^ you’ll be making love to me

while they’ll be murthering Capt,ain Brandon and the old lady, his mother, in their beds.”

Paddy leant forward, and placed a .big hand upon her arm.

“Don’t say it’s Captain Brandon that’s master here, Kathleen—Captain Brandon that commanded the comtTany in France?”

“ ’Tis the very same, Paddy. Often I've talked to him about you, and he saying you were a fine soldier. Little he thought you’d be mixed up In this business.”

Paddy’s brain worked swiftly. “Kathleen,” he said, in a low voice,

“if I stop them from touching a hair of the master’s head, if I get them out, of this without a thing being taken, will you promise to marry me?”

In the light of the electric torch he saw that her great dark eyes were no longer scornful. He moved towards her, and put his arms about her. He bent over her with his ear close to her lips. /

“The ■way you have, Paddy, you’d torment any girl intb promising to marry you.”

With a sudden lifting of his heart he kissed hei-swiftly, and then, with the torch still in his hand, ran across the hall. One of the party he met on the landing above.

“'Tis ■‘the police that are at the back door,” he whispered. "

Tke man took a whistle from his pocket, and blew the signal of recall. But Paddy was already elséwhere as footsteps came^ tumbling down the staircase. He had heard a groan and a muttered oath from an adjoining room, and, rushing in, he was bending over a figure that was lying trussed up with ropes on the ground.

; “Be aisy, captain dear!” he ex- claimed, as he cut the ropes; and then added, as the captain rose to his feet: “It’s Private Murphy, your honor. And it was Kathleen O’Rior- dan who told me what the scoundrels had been doing to you. I happened to be passing, and the door was open, and I looked in.”

“We must catch the infernal black- guards!’ 'the captain roared.

I’ll be after them this moment, your honor. It’s I that will catch them for you, Bure enough.’ ,

And he did, five minutes later, about a hundred yar(^ from the grounds, where once mofe he related to the” party of raiders his story of the ar- rival of the police. Under the spur of that iminent danger the raiding- party dispersed, without having added even a rook-ri^le to the armoury of the Irish Volunteers.

When Paddy Murphy was question- ed the following day by the sergeant of the police at Ballinalee as to his movements ^uring the night, he was eloquent in his ignorance.

“D'ye think I’d be paying any atten- tion to who the men were, or'what they -«^ere, with a pair of the sweetest eyes in all Ireland looking at me? Sure you’re a married man yourself, sergeant, and I’m just off to see his Reverence to know how soon he can make me one with Kathleen O’Rior- dan.”

As the "newspaper report-said: “The police are making inquiries about the raid for arms at Brandon Hall, but no arrests have yet been made.”

My Neighbor’s Chimney Smoke.

My kitchen window is frosted o’er With fairy fantastic tracing. Showing long plumed birds and white-

clad elves With fine fern fronds interlacing. ' I can catch a glimpse of the world

outside, I know it is cold and snowing, And away through the ^akes at the

nearest house ' A cloudlet of smoke is showing.

What though my window is white with I frost,

''Kie cold day dull and dreary? It does me good just to see that smoke, (My world seems bright and cheery), For I know at the fireside from whence

it comes, I would find a welcome waiting, So I sing my song, and my heart is

warm Though the storm seems unabating.

Sea-Horse of Mediterranean. There is a horse that eats no' oats,

hay or corn. He is stabled in the dôep waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, and pastures in sub- marine fields of seaweed. He wears bony armor and a tail curved like a monkey’s, and yet he’s a fish! Hi.s animal head has given him his popu- lar name—the sea-horse.

With all these varied characteristics the sea-horse is not fast, vicious or even disagreeable. Nor is he hand- some. Like his cousin, the pipefish, he is a poor swimmer. Also he is hen- pecked. Mrs. Sea Horse abliges him to take care of the children, who rule this- d^fep-water home.

To help him in his work as nurse- maid, he has a pouch beneath his tail, formed by folds of skin and com- pletely closed except for a small hole in front. In this pouch the eggs are deposited, and they remain there until they are hatched.

There are about twenty species of sea-horses in the waters of the globe, a common one beiftg the short-snouted mriety. In the waters of Australia .there dwells a sea-horse that is de- corated with numerous spines, ter- minating in leaflike appendages. These are so near the color of the aeaweeds among which they live that they appear actually a part of the vegetation. ,

Shortest Wills on Record. “I leave all to her.—Frank A. Kirk-

ley, 13th July, 1917.” S This will, which has lately-been

proved, is said to be tha shortest on record. It is written on the back of a girl's photograph, the portrait of the beneficiary. -

Though said to be the shortest will on record, this is not quite the fact, for there is one which consists of three words only~“All for mother.” This was written on the back of an envelope by Mr.,E, C, W. Thorne, of Streatham, who died'In the year 1905.

Mr. Piteaim, formerly assistant to the president of a big American “Cor- poration,” left a fortune of no less than fifteen million dollars. Yet 'his will, leaving everything to his wife, contained only twelve Unes of type- writing.

An elderly Frenchman was found dead in his house at Doumely, in the Ardennes. A search among his papers failed to reveal any will, until, under his bed, a piece of sheet iron was dis- covered, with these words written on it in white chalk:

“I bequeath all my property to the Borough of Ardenne, on condition thait the mayor'^-ives ^0 to the local fire brigade for a beanfeast. (Signed).

Thp relatives disputed thts queer and very brief will, but the local cou^t decided that it was valid.

The-longest will on record is that of the late Mr. Edward Bush, a re- tired English engineer who died in 1909, leaving property worth $725,000.

It contained no less that 26,00t) words, which is equal to all the print- ing on three sheets of an ordinary newspaper.

Wonderful Swiss Cheeses. It is said that the Swiss excel all

ether peoples in the production and consumption cf cheeses. One fine Swiss cheese, that of Zermatt, is of such hardness that one is obliged to scrape it or to cut off chunks with a hatchet, ' and on ceremonious occa- ; sions its use is considered most im- portant.

Indeed, the rank of a Swiçs family is, ill a waj^.'^known by the age of its cheeses, ’fhe greater the affection or respect inspired by a guest, the hai'der is the cheese cut in his honor. Theru are families in Switzerland, it is said, whose cheese date from the first !

Keeping Goal. The goalkeeper’s job is the most re-

sponsible, the most nerve-trying, of any on the field. Think what it must feel like to see a dancing, prancing, hungry-looking line of forwards com- ing down upon you like a pack of wolves, and to know that upon your sole efforts the honor and glory of your side depend!

That’s'the time'when the goalkeep- er does more punching, kicking, heau- ing, jumping, and dodging in ten seconds than most men do in ten years.

Yet there are times when the goalie stands like a graven image. It is probable that he is taking more out of his nervous systeipVhen than when he is dancmg like a ‘Tuszy-wuszy” on the war-path. Will the shot, surely comiug, come to right or left? Will it skim the erdss-bar, or sneak throu,gh the bottom corner? Or will the chap shoot wild and wide?

At football, you can often ratideve a lost goal. In lii'o you rarely can.

The Vacan cy Maker “No vacancy!” is a common and de-

pressing reply to people seeking em- ployment.

It does not depress the individual who is clever and enerprlsing enough to make a vacancy for himself.

For example, a young man, wcll- kno-v7n to the writer, recently applied for work to a big firm who are the proprietors of a well-known patent food. “No vacancy!” was the reply which greeted him. “But what about your inspector of advertisements?” asked the young man.

“Inspector of advertisements?” said the manager. “'We have not got one.” “Well, then,” replied the young man, “the sooner you have ^one the better. You want a man to go about the coun- try and look after your posters and mechanical advertisements and see that they are placed in the most ad- vantageous positions; often they are not. I am ready to take on this job at once.”

.That young man got the post. He started on $7.50 a week. Now he con- trols a special advertisement inspection department with several assistants under him, and has a salary of $2,500 per annum.

It was a young clerk in an auction- eer’s office earning five dollars a week who, on h^ng refused an increase of salary by his employer, went to a firm of furnishers and decorators and suggested to them that they s^uld start an “estate department” foinlet- ting and selling houses. The firm adopted his scheme and put the young clerk in charge of the depart- ment with a salary of ten dollars a week and commission on the houses he let and sold. He made $1,000 in commission the first year, and now has a big proprietary interest in the firm.

Here is another case. A poor hai^

dresser’s assistant, out of work, some years ago w’ent to a hotel in the West- end of London and suggested that the proprietor should start a hair-dressing establishment on the premises. The hotel proprietor laughed at the notion, and so did a great many others, but eventually one of the largest hotels took up the idea. Nowadays the hair- dressing room is a very lucrative side- show of the modern palatial hotel.

The smart young man who origin- ated the idea got a very good berth for himself and secured it on particular- ly favorable terms, for although he was only paid a small salary, he was given a third share of the profits!

Big trading companies with branch- es in London and the provinces all have what is called “a site depart- ment”—a special department con- cerned with looking out for suitable places to open riew branch establish- ments. The first site department was the result of the suggestion of a young man who went to look for a post in a growing catering concern. He was told there was no vacancy, hut he de- clared that there was.

“You have no site department,” he said. “Why not start one at once and let me take charge of it?”

The firm did so, and soon that young man was earning $3,000 a year.

The placing of charming views in railway carriages ■ in Britain was originally due to the enterprise of a young man who had been employed by a big publishing firm. It is now some wenty years since, for some rea- son or other, he found himself out^ of a job. Foreseeing a big opportunity for business as agent in connection with the pictorial decoration of rail- way carriages, he got toWork, and most of the colored photographs which now enliven journeys in the old land have been placed there through his efforts.

My Paper Garden. I spent last evening In a lovely place!

And while I lingered there My spirit laughed.at bonds of time

and space, And lost its daytime care. | ,A

My light-winged feet found grassy pathways, set

With stepping-stones askew: And, starring thick the sward, my

'vision met x Gay faces, pearled with deW.

Quick crocus-flames of purple, wliite and gold.

And hyacinth in spires. And squads of tulips, crimson, mar-

tial, hold. Like vivid, scattered fires;

Thick, velvet, pansies carpeted the place

Wliere Lady Iris stood ; Anemone half hid her tender face

Within the moist, dark wood.

Then flamed all suddenly the rambler rose.

And honey suckle filled The air with wizardry that only flows

From perfume pure distilled.

And next, a riot of midsummer bloom. Of larkspur, foxglove, pink;

Bach frail or hardy life was given roo,m

Wherein to flirt and prink.

I watched the pageant pass, yet could riot tell

When Spring gave place to Fall; The colors flared and faded—blos-

soms fell— None lingered of them all.

Yet any dày I can' my dream renew ; Its sesame is mine;

And if you like. I’ll pass it on to you— , A. simple, secret sign.

(And yet I know not it this open door A blessing is, or curse;)

The florists’ catalogues have come once more.

To rob my helpless purse!

Self-Reliance. Among the qualities that not merely

bring success, to a man but make him/ of use to the community, self-reliance is perhaps the most important. The self-reliant man is always one on whom others rely. The fact that a man is not afraid to take command of a situation causes other people to yield him command of a situation; but it does not cause them to follow him blindly or uncritically. He must show himself competent as well as self-re- liant.

Competence and self-reliance are, however, qualities that usually go hand in hand. Vanity, conceit, self- approbation not often produce true self-reliance. ' They tend rather to make a man superficial. The vain man feels that he can accomplish re- sults easily, without a foundation of hard and thorough work. He looks upon himself as’ generously 'endowed by nature and therefore exempt from the necessity to learn, under which more ordinary, persons must labor. His assertiveness and assumption of confidence may carry him through some situations, but in any serious emergency he will make way for the man who is prepared.

Training the mind for action is as necessary as training the mind for study. The boy who has learned to bpx is likely to be more self-reliant than the boy of the ^ame weight and strength who has not learned to box. Anyone who wishes to bring his child- ren up to be self-reliant will accomp- lish his desire, not by fostering in them exalted opinions of themselves, but by training them in habits #o£ thoroughness.

The phrase, “Robbing Peter to Pay Paul,” had a curious origin. On December 17ith, 1550, the.- Abbey | Church of St. Peter, "Westminster I was, by letters patent, announced to have the dignity of a cathedral; but ten years later it was rejoined to the London Diocese, and the majority of its estates appropriated to the re- pairs of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

How to See'^the Wind. Choose for the triait a windy day,

when the -air is free from rain or snow. Take a bright, clean hand saw, or any other polished metal object about two feet in length and.having a straight edge. Hold the - saw or. metallic surface at right angles to the direction of the wind. Incline it at about 35 or 40 degrees to the horizon and with the baeÿ up, so that he mov- ing air, in striking the surface, will glance upward and flow over the edge of the metal, as water flows over a dam.

Wonderful Stained Glass

Perils of the Penny. , Without doubt paper money carries disease germs, but experts declare that our ordinary copper coinage Is •much more dangerous in this respect, and that one cent can. find lodgment for ten million microbes.

But almost every day we are warn- ed of disease germs being carried In very unthought-of ways. A little while ago there was a scare as to infection caused by strap-hanging, and certainly the leather straps in street cars must harbor a variety of microbes.

Again, a few Christmases ago, three children in succession were infected with scarlet fever from a teddy bear, and there was/ a great outcry about imported toys.

In 1912 small-pox broke out violent- ly In Silesia. It was proved that the disease had been brought in feathers imported from Russia,and made up In- to bedding.

A Bacteriologist found his little boy making mud-pies in a park where a playground is reserved for children. He took home a ' handful of earth from one of these mud-pies, and, on analyzing it, found that it contained • 1,000,000 germs of diphtheria, 3,600,000 of lockjaw, and millions of those of measles, dysentery, pneumonia and consumption.

There are germs of all sorts of ter- rible diseases in rags and waste paper. Disease may be caused by drinking from an Infected , cup at a public fountain, or even by kissing an infected person.

At the same time, there is no need for us to make our lives miserable by constantly worrying about sources of infection.' Nature looks after us, and a person who eats and drinks moder- ately and' keeps his or her body clean can set at nought most of the invis- ible dangers which are constantly * floating around us.

G2U‘dening For Women. There are girls who can dig a bed

as well as make a bed. They can plant a ree, prune it, spray it, and harvest the fruit. They can plant, cul- tivate and pick vegetables. They can plant a flowery garden, raise tho plants, dig the bed, plant it, mulch it and do all the technical and untech- nical things. “She does not look so very large and

stout And yet they say she laid that garden

but.” They can milk cows and care for

poultry and bees. In the greenhouses they lef^rn the management of the fur- nace, as well as the care of plants and forcing of vegetables.

Added to all this., of course, they learn the scientific side the reason why. . '

Horticulture with its allied branches is a new profession for women. In- dustrial conditions are to a greater ^extent each year forcing women into the business world. Many of the older avenues open to women, sùcli as type- writing, stenography and teaching, are overcrowded.

In the cathedral at Chartres, t^ere are 1,350 subjects in 143 windows. York Catfiedral has 117 subjects in one great window. Canterbury, Lin- coln and Salisbury have beautiful ex- amples of early glass.

There' are many more in France, and often the same workmen had windows in different tov/ns. They travelled, in companies cr guilds. In the event of an English military in- vasion of France they carried on their peaceful craft in England, and during a tranquil season across the Channel there they were. • . It is of this eprcli that subjects in med’-lHcns a’'0 typical. Circles alter- nated 'with sciuiires to the i’uil height'’ cf tlte window, each space having its story from the 01:1 and New Teeta- monts, with conne'Cting patterns of ornament. Thé figures were smaller, cf course, when so enclcv:d, but the orderly repetition of forms and colors and the assembling cf s^o many pieces of glass resulted in magnificènt har- monies carried alcft in varied courses.

The great number of subjects in Chartres Cathedral were' made up in this way, indeed Chartres is pre-emi- nent for Biblical legends in medallion windows. Glass of unusual thickness and radiance was used and substantial leading.

The modern awakening of interest in stained glass as a fine art is large- ly due to the initbativo of the pre- Raphaelite group of devoied artists in England. About sixty years ago Ed- ward Burnes-Jono.-?, at the instance of his frie'^d Rossetti, de.signed some windows following^he early examples and in after yeai^s contributed many mere to the art cf his country.

Rattles Don’t Teil Age of Rattlesnake.

Another ancient belief.shattéred by science. Tlie number of rattles a rat- tlesnake has is determined not by his age, but by the number of times he sheds his ski«-, is the decisipn given out by Raymond Le^' Ditmars, who has charge of the repÛIes in the Ne"» York Zoo. A baby rattler, is born with only a buiton. but soon after- ward he sheds his skin and has a ra.t- tle.. Every ti.me he sheds his skin he gains another, and he usually does this three times a year, although sea- sonal or food conditions may vary,this.

“The rattle is rather') a deliatB-or- gan.” w.rites Curator Ditniars. “'1^5"“’’^ snake'wears out the aWer^rings drag- ging them around over rough, rocky grou.nd; A rattla seldom attains a length of more than 10 W 11 rings, as when that number has been acquirsfi the vibration at the tip, when the or- gan is used, is so proiiofinc<id-..tKa,t ad- ditional segments ara-'r'çqqfi., wern, b’/oken, or lost.”

FORMED A BRANCH

^ On the afvcrntion of Thursday, 12tb • inst, there was a very representative

gathering of fai-mers residing in this section the meeting being held in the Women’s Institute Hall, here. It was calkd for the purpose of organizing a Branch of The Montreal Milk Pro- d.ucers’ Co-oi>orative Agricultural As- sociation.''Among those present we noticed Messrs Peter H. McEwen, Albert Rowe, Thomas Blaney, Dan Cameron, Peter Christie, John F. McEwen, G. G. Morrison, E. J. Mc- Ewen, J(^n Pressley, J. A. Welsh, Sandy J. McEwen, 'Wm. McEwen, Thomas'McDougall, Chas. Blaney, E. S. Winter, Finlay- McEwen, Robert McKay, Alex. Aubin, Wm. Gumming and Henry Wilkes, of Majcville, D. J. Fraser, W. H. Bush, D. C. McIntosh, Samuel Hutt, John R. Sproule, John A. McLeod, D. A. Campbell end J. P, McNaughton of Dominion- ville, D. C. McDougall, Peter Mc- Gregor, A. D. McDougall, A. W. Mc- Ewen, D. J. McGregor, Ronald Ben- ton and Alex. McGregor of St. El- mo; Wm. T.

Mr. W. L. Carr, Secretary Treas- urer of Huntingdon, Que., was pres- ent and' delivered an exhaustive ad- dress explaining the working of the association, its aims and objects and the bcnoiits that' the producers would receive through being members after the association had go.tten strong and possessed a large membership. Then they would be in a position to receive better prices for their milk and cream shipped to Montreal. That Mr. Carr’s addi*ess had been effective and convincing was made evident l-y the goodly number who enrolled their names as members of the asso- ciation. The Maxville Branch was or- ganized with the following officers.— President, A. W. McEwen, St. Elmo; Vice President, Wm. T. Arkinstall, Athol; Secretary Treasurer, D. C. McIntosh, Dominionville, Directors, D. J. Fraser, John F. McEwen, A'. D. McDougall, A. J. R. McDonald, John A, McT.eod, Albert Rowe and Peter McGregor. The Directors are to canvass their diflVjrent sections with a view of getting as many as possible to ’ join up, it being felt t^hat all milk producers should be- come members, and make the new aasoclatton a strong one from its inception.

Cloronto Globe) Is Tojyis^ii in (Janada to be re-

born under ^the name suggested i>y Senator McLennan—ihe “Rarti Na~- ^ tional'’? The sinister but successful alliance of 19J1 between tite High Protectionists and Boui'aasa's Na- tionalists of Quebec must have peen in the mind of the shrewd Nova Sco- tian who pro])oses that protoctun- ists shall drop the name Conservat- ive, abandon nil attempts to main- tain the Union Government in office as a Libera’.-C'onservative coalition,

organize a new National party

on thd }>latform of adequate protec- tion.

That part oi iné program of the Parti National dealing with Can- ada's international relations as set forth in Senator McLennan's mani- festo contains the magic word “self- determination” of which the Quebec Nationalists had begun ‘to speak freely before their partial eclipse at the polls. Here is the bait for Bou- rassa's followers :—

“The National party, while jeal- ously safeguarding the acknowledged rights of the Canadian people to self-determination, will, by promot- ing peace and ainity with o'th'eF na- tions, particularly with our adjoin- ing neighbor and friend, discharge our obligations to humanity. It will be forward in sharing the duties as well as the privileges of full-grown membership in that great common- wealth, the British Empire, free na- tions bound together by a common history, by common aims, and by a common loyalty.”

Not a hint here of Dnperial feder- ation, of a central Parliament for the Empire, of the control by a War Council sitting in Whitehall of the defence forces of the overseas Domi- nions. But for the suggestion that Canada will be forward in sharing the duties as well as the privileges of full-grq>vn membership in the British Empire the clause might have been drafted by Mr. Bourassa himself. Assuredly when the Parti National sets up its standard in the Province of Quebec its orators will be able to round off many a fervid appeal to the old Nationalists—the lineal descendats of the Castors — with the declaration that the Na- tional party jealously safeguards the rights of the Canadian people to self-determination.

The English-Cojiservative press of Montreal appears to be preparing its readers for the ))roposed realign- ment. The Montreal Gazette, the most reactionary Tory journal in the Dominion, has formaliy abandoned the coalition, and has declared that there can he no permanent place in Canadian iiolitical life for à Union- ist party. “It is a party,” say.s The Gazette, “that has outlived its ure- fulness, a party that, having accom- plished its purpose, is reverting elec- torally into its original elements.” And if it does not revert into its c r- iginal elements with sufficient rapid- ity 'The Gazette evidently intends to facilitate the break-up with a sledge hammer.

Assuming, as we must, that the

high protectionist wing has deter- mined to destroy “the Union party which has not united,” and to ap- peal to the country under the style of the National party, what of its leadership? Bord».-n is gone, Foster is too old, Rogers is too well known, Meighen and Howell are impossible. Ihe only other names seriously men- tioned are those of Sir Thomas White and Sir Lomer Gouin. There has been a good deal of gossip of late as to the i/olitical future of the Premier of Queijec. He intimated to his followers in the Legislature the other day that he wouUl resign the Premiership should that ap}>ear to be the desire of the party. He has made some speeches i-ecently which indicate that he is not likely to fav- or the largo measure of tariiV refoim demanded by the graingrowers and the I-iberals of the \V\*st. In other respects, however. Sir Ijomer has Ijcen a Lii.oral of the Laurier sctiool, and it is dUlicult to see how he could take a position of command in a re^ivi^ied Tory pai'ty looking for the support of the Ultramontane-Na- tionalists of Quebec.

Despite the affiliation of Sir Thom- as White with the Big Interests and the unfavorable impi-cssiou created by his failure to conscript wealth as well as the country's manhood for war purposes, the former Minister of Finance is probably the most avail- able leader for the party which The Montreal Gazette blesses and for- mal^ launches with these significant

“Mr. McLennan would baptize the new party under the name National, and would invite into its ranks all men of Conservative belie.’, of wide vision, of temperate mind, men whom e.^erience and observation have taught the lesson of pruaence and caution in making innovations, and who understand that a new Charter of Rights drawn by the dis- contented, by agitators and dema- gogues, is naught else than an ineff- ectual jiarchment. The program to which Senator McLennan invites men of moderation to subscribe is broad, liberal, comprehensive, and concisely ly framed, its principles are candid- ly expressed, and basicly sound. The name of the party is happily select- ed—the National party. It is logical that a National policy should issue from a National party, a policy not of cla^s, race, creed or section, but a policy designed to promote the welfare of Canada and a<l'l its peo- ple. The Union party has failed to unite. The Liberal party remains dis- rupted, A_ majority of the electorate, as we believe, awaits a platform on which to stand, a flag under which to rally, a name with which to con- jure. General elections are not re- mote, and it will be most unfortun- ate if those occur before the stable, sober-minded elements are consolid- ated in a political party with defin- ite aims and acceptable leadership.”

It seems reasonably certain that ' within six months the Tory workers of this Province will be closing their campaign meetings with cheers for “Tom 'White and the National par- ty.” But will the Ontario electors who have had more then enough of Toryism under its own name take to it kindly when it conceals its idenity under a name that in Que- bec has long been borne by a group of reactionaries, whose outstanding policy is enmity to Britain and ail things British ?

T*t, Ju«t a« '•Muy farm boya have become aae- •Mstul bueineaa men in our cltieo, m there are undoubtedly many city beys who have become successful ’damera. This is more especially true la the countries that are belAf new* ly opened up such as Wsstsm Can- ada. AmoBf the wiaasrs at ths In- torantlonal Soil-Products ExposUioa boM at Kansas CHy recently at least one, If mot more, of the succesoful exhibitors was bora and bred in a 'dty and only became a farmer after Ibe had reached manhood. John W. •L^cas who won prises for white oats, jbrome jxass seed, barley and rye, had noTor been a farmer until he 'Settled on hie homestead In Cayley, Alberta, sixteen years ago. However, he has set to work to learn all he could about this noble profession and nobody can say that be has made a bod job of It

Mr. Lucas was born in one of the cities of Eastern Canada Like many other boys whose parents are In moderate circumstances he earn- ed money after school hours de- livering newspapers and in vari- ous other odd jobs. Leaving school, he says, he got a real job •(t six dollars a week and later came 'West and worked In Winnipeg for a year. He had always felt a desire to become a fanner, however, and it is nort. surprising that the call of the Canadian Government for settlers for free homesteads at once appealed to him. ,He came to Alberta in 1903 and

located ea his homestead in Cayley, in the southern part ef the province, the same ywr.

He is new ths ewaer df sight hun- dred aersa ef land fn a blech, and is interested, besides, in six and a half seeUons ef land 4,ltd. On his farm he has produced as much as 139 bushels ef eats te the acre and 63 bushels of wheat te the acre. The quality ef his oats may be judged from the fact that for five years he wcsi the premier honors for this crop at the Alberta Rrovinciai Seed Fair. He has also been a regular exhibitor and prize winner at the International Soil Products ExposHion and other exhibitions held in the United States.

It has been Mr. Lucas’ ambition to become a good farmer and he has spared no effoits to learn all he could about his profession. He spent the wintei^s of 1912 and 1913 in Iowa as part of his agricultural education. Here he visited some of the best farms in the State, »ked lots of questions, saw a good deal and came away with as much knowledge as he could gather. He considers thea« two wiavters spent in Iowa among the best investments he ever made. He learned much about horses, cattle and hogs, and also how gdod farmers select the ears of corn, how in this way they increase the yield, produc- ing ears true to type and uniform in size. He figured that If com could be so much improved. by selection the same thing could be done with the heads of wheat, oats, barley and hills of potatoes. He came ba^ to Alberta and began to use this knowl- edge. Not only has he Increased the Yield of these crops but has improved

the quality and type as well. Instead: •f fields of oats, barley and other^ crops with heads of all sises b« baa mow fields of those grtHmm with head». nearly all alike. By haiNl selection, ef ps^Atees. saving only the prollfle hills true lo type, he has been able' to produce as high as thirty-seven. moriceUble poUlMg gm frPL and frMs one poUtn p!a«tod n y{3| of seventy-three pounds of potatoes This Is a record dllfinttlt In bsm «MV where.

These are some of the things a city • boy has been able to do on a faim. Not only has he become the owner of ’ a large area of land but on this lanC- he is producing crops of the highest quality and a maximum quantity. Practically the whole of the evop' grown by him he sells as seed at a- higher ]^ce than that obtained by the average farmer, and the demand for what he produces is greater than he can supply.

He is also a great believer in livn- stock. A man who has studied farm- ing as he has done naturally would be. Cattle, hogs and horses are rais* ed on his farm and the same pains* taking care In the selection of types and breeding Is paid to livestock as- he pays to the selection of grain*, witih results equally as satisfactory.

The success of , John 'W. Luca» should be inspiring to many a city boy. “Any boy can de what I hava done in this country,” he says. "All it needs, is persistence.” Te this- may be added patience and a desire- ta^excel, qualities possessed by moil successful men, whether in eity country. ^

asking merchant? to cut down their orders, it would seem wise for the man who

could .afford it to buy the coming season’s requirements at once. However, we can

not all afford to do this

But if you, Mr. Farmer, were given the opportunity to buy at LAST YEAR’S PRICE, a

Spring to pay for it, would you or would you not take advantage of that

opportunity ?

The Point is This I have 5,000 rods Invincible Fencing in my yard, bought in 1919 at 25% less

than present prices, AND IT IS GOING STILL HIGHER, and for a short time I am

They are standing there scarcely knowing what to do.” VINDiCATHS MILK PRODUCERS Hon. Mr. Doherty is a Past Presi-

“Never was there a time in the history of this country when our farmers' associations should receive such enthusiastic support as now,”

“he said. “We all realize the tremen- dous obligations under which this country labors, and it might cause one to be a pessimist were one not acquainted with the stamina of tlie people.

He urged his audience to place the "^full facts of their case before the city people and thus render abortive the attempt to split the urban and vur-

Figures he presen{ed showed that Ü1 one genera.tion, owing to pure breeding, a cow which produced 4,492 pounds of butter fat had had a calf which produced 9,776 pounds; or more than twice as much as its dam. Another instance of pure breed- ing was that a certain calf produced T,l60 pounds as against the produc- tion of 5,000 pounds of the dam in its maturity. In three generations of Holsteins the production had been 8,782 pounds from the first, 6,839 from the second and 11,126 from the third. .Tersey cattle had shown res- ults from good breeding almost as good.

As the animal approaches two years of age, according to a United States Department o.’ Agriculture ex- pert, the centre pair of temporary incisor teeth or pinchei^ are replaced by the permanent pinchers, which at two years attain full development.

At fiom two and a half to three years the permanent fii'st intenne- diates are cut. They are usually fully developed at three years.

At three and a half years the sec- ond interm diates or laterals are cut. They on a level with the first intermediates, and begiii to wear at four years. '

At four and a half to five years the comer teeth are replaced, the animal at five years having the ^ull complement of incisors, with the corners fully developed.

At five to six years there is a le- veling of the permanent pinchers, three pinchers usually being.leveled at six and both j>airs of interme- diates partially leveled and the f’or- ner incisors showing wear.

From seven to eight the pinchers are noticeably worn; ^rom eight to nine the middle pairs'^ and by ten years the corner teeth.

After six years the arch gradually loses its rounded contour, and it becomes nearly straight by the 12th year. In the meantime the teeth have gradually become triangular in shape, distinctly separated, and show the progressive" wearing to stubs.

Utllf UÜOEirii WENS Sir Harry Lauder has interesting

and rather unusual- views to-day as to hours of Labor.. He said recently in a speech in Toronto :

“Some of them had been congratu- lating on paring down—paring down the hours of labor. If amaai was on- ly going to work half a day he would only be paid half a day's wages. Working men were too much agitated by soap DOX orators, who never wanted to do a dfay’s work. He had gone among them and heard them and he could see no good in them. They made him want to get behind and push. He was glad to see in America that they were pushing them off in boatloads. (Applause.) He would like to ask any of ,/the successful men if 'they had evfer ihu- ited their hours of labor. No, you didn’t. 1 was reading about the pro- fessors working 16 and 18 hours a day. If th'.y could w^ork that long with their brains he thought an able bodied man could work ten hours, anyway, if he did work. But if he worked only eight hours he would not pay . him for ten, and if Ise hours, anyway, if he'did work. But him for eight. He thought if more time was si>cnt by -men in trying to get things back to noimal' they would be more patriotic. There were some men who were sorry the war was over. Tt was because of money they thought that. It was a shame to them.

Mr. J. P. Griffin, Secretary of the Ontario Milk Producers’ Associa- tion, stated that organization Pro- viucially was the only thing which would be successful for dairy farm- ers. “In that way,” he said, “you’ can get together and find a means of producing milk more cheaply than you have ever done before. A great many city people feel that we are simply organizing for the purpose of exacting tlîe last cent out of ovr

>milk, but if it were not for our pre- sent organization the people would be paying more for their milk than they are paying now.” The Provin- cial association would be a means of setting and regulating the price ac- cording to the cost of production. Afithe concluded his address one of the members asked him what would happen to the milk prices in the summer. “I expect we shall leave the price where it is,” Mr. Griffin re- plied.

“Sure—that’s where we wanx it,” returned the questioner.

Cream producers among the mem- bers, during a discussion which fol- lowed Mr. Griffin's address, protest- ed that the association did not af- ford them enough protection. As a

, result a resolution was peissed that Peel County Producers’ should

*fflliate with the Toronto and Pro- vincial associations. Some of them stated that the present average price of 70 cents pçr pound of but- ter fat did not cover liie cost of pro- duction. Others, however, stated that they were at present getting 80 cents, and that that price was easily obtainable. ^

SAVINGS CERTIFICATES Particulars of the new issue of

savijigs certificates to be put on sale by the Finance Department are now available. They will be issued in de- nominations of $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100, and are payable three yeai-s from the date of purchase, with interest at the raté of five and a half per cent., compounded half- yearly.

Thus an investment of $85 -now will bring $100 three years hence. Certiiicatcs may be cashed any time before maturity, but those surren- dered before the end of the three years will only receive four percent- age for each full half-year the money is invested. The new securities will be placed on sale immediately at all banks and money order post offices. The 25-cent thrift stamps, which do not bear interest, are being kept on sale and a card containing 17 of them will be exchanged for a $5 cer- tificate.

This plan is particuiai-ly gooj for school children. For the time being no active propaganda .'or the ^ale of the new securities will be carried on by the Department of Finance. They are intetided to provide a ready channel for the profitable investment of small sums and, by the attractr ivoness of their terms, to be an in- centive to thrift and saving.

FEED NOT ONLY COST

“When you think of the cost of iroduction you think of only one fcing, and that is feed,” said Prof, 1. Leitch of the O.A.C. “But when you got right down to it, the part that feed plays in the basis of cost

only one of many, and it is not 'the most important. Firstly, the size

of the farm has a lot to do with it, and, secondly, what percentage milk forms of the total produce of the farm.” A man with a farm smaller than 100 acres, he continued, would find that his cost were greater -:,han a man with a larger farm, while a man with more than 200 acres would run Into labor difficulties. An acre- age of 100 acres or a Ittle more, he thought ideal from the point of view of cost of production, '^irdly, there was the handicap of the poor cow. Unless, he said, a cow prod^icod at least from 4,000 to 5.000 pounds of butter fat the producer was bound to lose. Feeding better and breeding ÈÇtter, be taW the producers, were

two of the greatest factoi's in keep- ing down the cost of production.

MILK STILL CHEAPEST FOOD

Prof. R. Harcourt of the O. A. O. dealt chieliy with the comparative value of milk as a food. “We must bear in mind that milk is very pal- ateable; that it is highly nutritious, and that it is the cheapest source of proteins and fats we can buy today. Yet the first thing that the consum- er wants to cut down is milk. lie thin;s it is a luxury and a dear food, whereas, it is actually the cheaiiest.” A quart of milk at 15 cents, he said, contained just as much food value as a pound of meat at 45 cents. “Yet,” he on- cluded, “people will so often cut down on milk instead of meat.”

I

In a short preliminary address Mr. Robert McCullough, who suc- ceded Hon. Mr. Doherty as President of the association, stated that the balance was '‘largely in favor of milk ^ a food.”

Hew Markets' ir,', for Porejreds

Breeders of pure-bred beef cattle have nothing to fear regarding mar- ket conditions for their class of stock in the future. Practically every week fresh evidence of this fact is forthcoming. Formerly the greater pai't of the Southeni United States was chiefiy devoted to the raising of crops, but according to the following article from a writer in a recent is- sue of The Breeders Gazette, this condition is rapidly changing. The South is steadily coming forward as a producer of ,^ve stock and a great market has be.n opened-up there for pure-breds : /

“Not since the Civil War have con- ditions been more favorable for the increas-.d production of pure-bied beef catile in the south. The old or- der has passed. From some of the States the menace pf the cattle tick has gone, and within the next few yeaj's the south will be a tick-free section. Because of . this and the coming of the boll weevil (which will reduce the cotton acreage) the south is turning its attention to the pro- duction , of more and better cattle. Agricultural colleges and the Bureau of- Animal Industry have pushed campaigns for more fences, more pasturc-s, more feed crops, more pure- bred catile, and fewer scrub bulls, with the result that many miles of fencing have been put up,, many more acres have been planted to feed crops, and hundreds of pure-bred cat- tle have been obtained as foundation stock for new herds. Educational work against the scrub sire has maxie the growing of scrub cattle un- popular, while enhanced land , valii'es and feed prices have made them im- profilable; consequenly the demand for pure-bred beef cattle is increas- ing.

“The introduction of the velvet bean, with its remarkable adaptabil- ity to the soil and climate of the south, coupled with its productivity, and its high feeding value for cattle, has greatly simplified the feeding problem. Those beans may be gath- ered and fed, or the cattle may con-

sume them in the field with profit.

TROUBI.E WITH “BUSHWHACK- ERS.”

'•The south has been a fertiole field for the “bushwhacker ' trader l.o got in his work of selling culls from pure-bred herds and representing them to be of b^t quality. He also has sold cattle “pure-bred but not registered; the papers were lost. ” These cattle carried the colors and markings of pure-bred and “got by” with it. Such traders have injured the cattle industry to some extent and have created unjust discrimina- tion against some of the breeds. The iniefior cattle failed to make goi^d, and farmers, not knowing what good cattle were, put'the stamp of disapproval on cattle-raising.

“But a now era has come. Educa- tional work, with trips to breeding herds and the best shows, has taught farmers what good cattle should look like, and has put the “bushwhacker ' trader on the run. The business man is taking intelligent young men, who ha>e a knowledge of the industry, into partnership, and they are mak- ing cattierraising pay. Thus the de- mand for good breeding animals is ever on the increase.

“The part the south played at the recent International Live Stock Ex- position in Chicago has drawn more attention to the cattle industry than any one. thing. When in 1913 W. J. Davis, Jackson, Miss., wontheHjre- ford bull grand championship on Point Comfort 14th, it was said fcy many that this was a “happen so.” But When Dr, J. 1. Huggins, Dan- dridge, Tenn., won the grand cham- pionship on his Aberdeôn-Angus bull Idolmere, when L. L. Little, Fayette- ville, Tenn., won the grand cham- pionship on his Shorthorn bull Les- pedeza Oollynie, and when E. E. Mack & Sons, Thomasville, Ga., won the grand championship on the Here- ford bull Bonnie J., there was ro longer any doubt; for the whole world knew that the south did not accidentally show three grand cham- pions.

“While the south will never be primarily a live stock country, still within the next few years we shall see a line of the best pure-bred herds and a line of high-grade herds head- ed by pure-bred bulls; we shall see groups of small farmers owning pure-bred bulls co-operatively, and every farm producing a few good steers.” « ■

Buy Red Clover Seed Early Prime red clover seed was quoted

at $35.55 per bushel on the Toledo market of 'the 6th instant. Toronto prices then ranged about $3.00 per bushel in advance of Toledo prices. Clover seed that would grade “Prime” on the Toledo market could be bought in Toronto at $38.50 and, because of exchange conditions, de- livered to the United States points at approximately $.3.3.00 per bushel, or about $2.50 less than the Toledo price. The money situation, short supplies, and a.n earlier demand in the United States will explain tlie heavy exp(>rfs of clover seed. The price of red clover seed has ad- vanced almost $14.00 per bushel on the-Toledo market since May last. The world supply will not be suffi- cient to meet normal requirements. In these circumstances, Canadian far- mers who debiy the purchase of their red clover • s-ed requirements until seeding time may be unable to ob- tain supplir.-s at any price.

American Market Oiebtes Prices

With a potato crop 126.4 p.c., higher than last year, and 179.4 higher than the average, Canada's potatoes are now selling 250 p. c. higher than a year ago. The under- lying cause of this is the great fac- tor on which the organized farmers of Canada have built their fiscal pol- icy.

Within Canada's boi-ders there is every reason why potatoes should he selling as low as 75c per bushel, on a basis of lot year’s prices. Why- then, are they selling for $3.40 to $3.50 in a wholesale way at Toron- to?

They are selling at this price be- cause of market conditions in the United States. Th(?re is no disguis- ing the fact that in most matt 3i*s the U. sets the pace and Canada (being the 'smaller market), follows in her wake.

The U. S. had a crop of over 366 million bushels last year, which was only 87.5 p.c. of the previous year, and was also below the aver- age. To make matters worse, ihe shortage occurred largely in the heaviest potato consuming regions, with the result that prices have ine- vitably risen.

In scouring the sources of supply for jiotatoes, American buyers have invaded the producing centres of Canada, and we at home have had to compete with them,—and prices have risen.

The egg market at Toronto is stronger than last week as a result of the firmer feeling across the line, with the result that the expected de- cline in prices here is still pending.

When Canadian co-operators offer- ed millions of pounds of nicely graded wool for sale, Canadian buy- ers could not be found, and the wool was largely exported to the U. S., at prices prevailing there.

When U. S. wheat prices were so much higher than Canada’s prices, the Wheat Board was foi*ced to ad- vance the scale here, for that and no other reason.

Turnips are moving across the line, and the price in Ontario is largely set on a basis of the export demand.

And so the comparisons might be carried on endlessly. The two mar- kets are separated by nothing more nor less than an invisible boundary line. True, there are blue-coated offi- cials, and tariff obstacles, but these are no more to the trade of this cont.’nent than the long freight haul between'Eastern Canada and 'the Prairies,—items of cost which must be considered in doing business, and which musT be accepted as apparent- ly inevitable.

But to attempt to divorce the in- terests of Ontario producers from those across the line to the south is as futile as to attempt io block the flow of Niagara.

Occasionally a dry season and long continued east window will dry up Niagara’s flow, and memory re- calls when in 1911 the interest re- ferred to was “divorced” for a short time by flag-waving politicians who have since then become discre- dited and forced to leave their care- fully prepared positions. But Niagara, keeps on flowing.—Farmers’ Sun.

QUEBEC WAND NOW it is funny to hear the big int'^i'-

ests making love to Quebec. No Bol- shevism there. No ‘ demagogues preaching sedition. No labor agita- tion. A contented, hardworking, thi'ifty people. A safe and sane j ro- vince, where you may inv^t your money at seven per cent, in private- ly owned concerns, unmolested by Government ownership. The finest province, of Canada, and a glorious examx>le to the turbulent West, with its organized farmers and labor

It is for the Fcjgnch-Canadian to laugh, perhaps rather bitterly. Only two years ago they were being de- nounced as slackers and traitors. The whole province was boiling with sedition. The sturdy men of Ontario ought to go down to Quebec and clear the French-Canadians out. They were priest-ridden. They were anti-British. “Shall Quebec rule? ’’’ was the war cry.

And now these fire-eaters are down on their marrovv^ones, oflbring in- cense to the Qùébec. Why? Have the Frendi-Canadians changed their char- acter? W'e have seen no evidence of it. The secret is that their votes are wanted for high protection and ^he big interests. “Come back” cries the agonized father, “and all will be forgiven.” No; even that does not quite describe it. “Oome back and we will beg your forgiveness for all the hard things we said in 1917. In- stead. of abuse we will give you flattery. Instead of chai'ging you with sedition we will give you a cer- tificate of character as bulwarks of defence against Bolshevism. Only stand by the sacred tariff and the big interests and the big profits, and we will exalt Quebec above Ontario as the premier province of Canada.”

As we say,' it is for Quebec to laugh. But what opinion must French-Canadians hold of those who have passed from violent abuse to flattery based upon selfishness? — Farmers’ Run. ^^

For School Children In connection with Hie schools of

Brock\'ille the Provincial Motion Pic- ture Buieau, to which reference has already been made in these columns, on Wednesday evening of this week gave a demonstration in Victoria Hall, of that town showing the prac- tical educational value of many of their Motion Picture films also the advisability of the use of these fs supplementary to the regular school curriculum. Were the Department ap- proached we have little doubt but that a similar exhibition could be staged in Hector’s Theatre here for the ben " t of the pupils of the .sev- eral schools of Alexandria.

GoDd Average Man of Most Acconnt

The farmer whose name gets into the farm paper or the city daily or even the country weekly is likely to be the so-called successful farmer. He is the man who by large invest- ments in land or by expensive spec- ialization or in some other way has has made considerable sums of mo- ney or at least attained a measure of fame. He is the exceptional man— though he is the man through whom many city people get their ideas of the typical farmer.

There are not many successful far- mers in the.sense that the magazine uses the term “successful farmer,” just as there are not many “success- ful business men” of the same gen- eral tyi>e. But there are many suc- cessful farmers in a better sense of the term.'Thf^re are many men who have not perhaps farmed great acre- ages, who have not attained reput- ation for banner crops or for qui'îk- money specialties, but who ua'v'e- farmed their land carefully and well, husbanding constantly the soil, who have brought up families intelligent- ly, and who have been active fact- ors in making their communities better places in which to live.

It is these faimers upon whom farming really depends, just as it is the solid average man upon whom the political and other destiny of the nation depends. The big farmer, the farmer whose name is on the Ups of readers of agricultural feature sto- ries, is not to be discredited. He is , doing his part. But the good aver- age farmer is the farmer who counts most.—Kansas Industrialist.

MILK CDSIS UiUlB When the farmers say they are b*s-

ing money producing milk at pres- ent prices, the public takes little stock in the statemeni. Ibe reason lies in the fact that the public does not know enough auout the farmer’s business to judge of the accuracy of the statement. But when a commit- tee, consisting of city men, makes an accurate survey of several farms iii a given territory and announce that the fai’mers are losing money pro- ducing milk, then city people will consider the statement with confi- dence.

Dairy farmers in Rochester coun- ty, New York, have been working for less than 11c an hour. They nave been losing 85c per hundred weight on the milk they have produced. This infoiTuation was brought cut when a committee, of wliien Uhas. E. North of New York ('iiy was the' chairman, investigated the milk pi o- blem with the view of reducing the cost of milk to the consumer.

During the past three years there has been considerable complaint on the price of milk. Women have boy- cotted, attorneys liave prosecuted and city officials have appointed committees to investigate, but - the price has not been reduced. There are reasons. Milk is high l^ecause the cows which produce it are hign pric- ed. The feeds which they consume are higher than they have ever been. The labor connected with the care of the cow was neser so high priced, me equipment with which the protiuct of the cow is handled is two and three times higher than it used to be, and so on we might enumerate the con- ditions, many of which were discov- ered by the city committee.

Obnsumers of milk might? get some consolation from the fact that milk would be considerably higher wcic it not for the fact that a lot of dairy- men ai’e working for 11c an hour and selling milk at a loss of 85c per hundred pounds. They might get con- solation I'rom the fact that farm women on dairy farms work an aver- age of 11 hours per day and receive for compensation their boara and clothing and mighty few of the lux- uries to which city women are ac- customed.

Consumers of milk can well afford to consider the conditions under which the dairy farmer operates his farm, the long hours of ceaseless toil, year in and year out, and then recognize the value of the product which he produces for human con- sumption and its relation to human welfare, before they organize boy- cotts agafnst his product. Dairy- farmers don't have to milk cows. There are other lins/s of agriculture which they can pursue, or they can leave the farm altogether and re- reive good living wages in the city. The future is for the public to de- cide. A man is not justified in pro- ducing an article for which the pub- lic has no use and for which it is not willing to pay at least the co.st production.

A man is not justified in working for 11c an hour these days. He is not fair to his family when he sells his product for less money than he has spent in producing it, and final- ly, no iiidustry* can live and perform its functions unless it receives value for the product which it gives to the public*.—Dairy Farmer. ^

KEEP FKOM (CROWDS.

That citizens who have colds should refrain from mingling with crowds— should stay away from places of amusement and other places where people assemble in large numbei's, was the advice given Monday by Dr. S. Boucher, Montreal medical health officer, who had the following to say- on the subject: “I advise the people who have colds not to go outside, but to stay at home. r’îey should not be allowed to go with crowds. There is no objection to keeping ilie theatres optm, and other place.s where crowds gather, so long as tho.se who have colds do not go there.” Thus far the influenza situation in ^font- real has not, in his opinion, war- ranted shafting up places of amuse- ment, and limiting the number of atiendance at funerals, a-s was the ca.se d Jfing the first epidemic of the disea.se in October, 1918. Neverth<*- fi ss Pr. B.iuclyor advises every Pre- caution.

Costly Ailments of Horses— ^ And How to Prevent Them

BY A. S. ALEXANDER, V.S.

and «m'ooth. The draft of the tugs also must be properly adjusted on the same hames, and the swing of the wagon pole, or tongue, kept from hurting the horse.

The efficient “bam boss” will see to it .that collars fit properly, are kei)t clean and smooth, and that thé skin of the neck and shoulders is soothed and strengthened by bathing with salty cold Y.'ater two or three times a day.

Barbed wire de another commbn cause of wounds, and such wounds also necessitate proteotiive treatmeml with tetanus antitoxin. Usually it is a loose mre at the ground that does the harm,, so that the fehceis should be examined at regular intearvals to keep all wires in place and taut.

Better far would it be were b»bed'- wire fences done away with in ^pas- tures. Where a board fence is too expensive, 48 to 52 inch woven wire should be used, with two strands of barb wire over that to keep horses from pasturing over the fence.

It also Is wise to carefully examine a strange stall before a horse is al- lowed to enter it. Depend.upon it that if a projecting nail is there your horse wi-ll be sure to come in contact with it.

The navel of every foal should also be saturated with tincture of {iodine at birth to prevent Infection. Thous- ands of foals are killed each year^ by this preventable form of infection, and the joint diseases which occur as eomplicationfl. Colts that survive are left with unsound joints.

The attendant, ratl.er than the horse, usrally is to blame when a case of colic occurs. The same man should always feed all of the horses, and each feed, so far as possible, should be given at exactly the same hour. Watering should be done with similar care and regularity.

Sudden changes of food commonly cause colic. The feeding of new hay or new oats without due preparation often proves disastrous. All changes of feed should be made gradually, and the ho;*&e should not immediately be fed when he comes in hot..

There would be far fewer cases of colic were the following plan adopted in the city and on the farm: Allow the horse a few swallows of cold water when he comes in hot and tired. Remove his harness, and bathe neck and shoulders with cold ,water con- taining a heaping teaspoonful of salt per pint. Allow him to eat -a pound of good hay while cooling off; then allow drinking water, and then the feed of oats.

Do not allow drinking from the trough if the horse immediately goes to work, but let him drink now and then when at work;

The modem veterinarian no longer prescribes a hot bran mash to be

given to a work horse on Saturday thin plate of canvas-covered steel or: night. Su^ a feed is absolutely un- a thick pad of leather between his ^ natural and a fertile cause of colic, shoes and the soles of his feèt.| It is bettbr .to mix bran with the oats Then, under these pads, should be a for every work horse. It will lessen dressing of oakum and wool fat (Ian- bolting of feed, induce more perfect

More than ever before it now is a matter of the gravest imp<rtTfcance to prevent your animals from suffering disease and injury, instead of having their ailments tb treat. I shall try here to tell you some ways in which you can do this.

Did sitece allow, hundreds of ail- ments of animals might be listed as preventable, directly or indirectly, but to demonstrate the im^rtance of this subject and indicate the possibil- Sties of a campaign of disease préven- tion, it will suffice to mention some of those m^t commonly met with,

Azotuda and its hurtful associate, lymphangitis, or “Monday morning disease,” are induced by continuing to g^lve the ordinary ration of oats, or other ddi feed, when bad weather or a holiday confines the horse to his stable.

Both diseases might absolutely be prevented, were it made the invari- able rule that no horse shall ever- •tand for a single day without work or adequate exercise, and that oats end other protein-rich feed shall be omitted or matedally lessened lin amount during all periods of idleness

That you may be able to recognize these diseases it may be stated that the urine is dark red-brown in color in azoturia, and the muscles of the loins, hips, and thighs become swol- len, hard and paralyzed, so that the horse loses the power of his hind legs. Acute attacks often are fatal. All attacks lay the horse off work.

In lymphangitis a hind leg becomes acutely swollen, and so great is the pain in the" region of the groin that| lidgh fever is caused, and the, horse stops eating, sweats, breathes- fast,

■^nd has a full, bounding pulse. The animal is “anchored” an his-stall and unfitted for work for a period of one to two or three weeks.

Unnecessary suffering entailed upon the stricken horse and the heavy financial loss due to the terrible mor- €5ality from azoturia surely are mat-

- ^rs of serious concern, 'but they do not complete tlie bill of loss.

Puncture of the sole by sharp ob- jects, generally termed “nail prick,” 6s another cause of temporary or per- manent retirement of the horse from work, and many oases end in death from tetanus (lockjaw), which rhighf be prevented.

In the recent world war it did not take the Allies and enemy long to dis- cover that steel helmets, by protect- ing the head against shell splinters, shrapnel, and partially spent bullets, would save many a life, and pre^eut thousands of troublesome wounds. But to this day few work horses have the soles of their feet protected against the evèr-present and deadly nail. Vvhy? Who can answer? Well, we fancy the explanation is chiefly one of negligence.

The Welfare of the Home Is Your Child Well Nourished?

Is Your Child Weil Nourished? | This seems a surprising and even

impertinent question to the average parent, but dt is a_ matter of fact that even in well-to-do hemes chil- dren are found who fail to measure up to the required standard. The re- lation of weight to height is consider- ed the best standard" of nutrition. Test your child by means of the nc-| companying table and satisfy your-i self on this all-important question. ' ' First, have the child stand with heels together, shoes having been re- moved, against a wall. Mark his height by placing a ruler or book on top of his head. Now measure this height from the floor by inches. Next have the child weighed in or- dinary indoor clothing without coat or shoes. Having the weight in pounds and the height in inches, consult the table.

For a boy, run your finger down the first column until you come to his height, then look in second column for the average weight corresponding to this height. If he is up to this standard he is probably not under- nourished. If he is below this stand- ard then see if he is 10 per cent, or more underweight by comparing with the corresponding figures in third col- umn. If he is below the weight shown in the third column, "then his condi- tion is serious, and he needs the best of attention. H Ms weight lies be- tween these two, he then is under- nourished to a slighter, degree, and should also receive' attention, al- though his condition is not as yet really serious.

The same measures apply to girls, using, however, the second table.

THE CHILD’S RIGHT TO HAPPINESS

disinfectants. S'ore necks, backs, and shoulders an-

nually cause the temporary retive- meut of many htlrses from work or make their work less efficient. Every- thing possible should be done to pre- vent such sores. Moct of them are caused by ill-fitting harness, but even a properly fitting collar will cause sores, unless it is kept clean

should ^ rested until well. The chant’s in feces indicative of de- ranged digestion are mushy, steam- ing, Stinking 'condition, semiii-liqulid passages» clay-colored masses, or daric-colored, mucus-covered balls.

I mention here only a few of thé common preventable troubles, which if you manage by precautibp to pre- vent, will save you much money.

If old household scales are used in weighing dressed poultry for private customers, it may be best to have them tested by .comparison with scales known to bè accuratiè. If the •cales underweigh it means a financial loss to the poultryman. If they over- weigh it means a still more serious loss by^ casting a reflection on the honesty of the producer.

In advertising hatching .eggs it is hot best to place too mucK'emphasis on home egg records even if they are good. Producers who wish to bring

‘ up theii?^ stock and charge high prices ^ for the eggs should enter their birds "in the official contests.and obtain re- cords supervised by disinterested parties. Poultrymen who do not en- ter their birds in the contests can ob- tain birds of good laying ability and sell the hatching eggs at a fair price. But they ckmiot expect buyers to place too much confidence in private records now that we have the egg- laymg contests: to furnish producers with o^icial records.

A broody coop made of slats should be in'çwry: poultry house. Then the

broody hens needed’ for hatching eggs can be quickly removed from the nest - and fastened up until broken. These coops should be portable so they can be taken outside for sunning and • spraying. And in the summer when it is very hot in the poultry house it may be best to place the broody coop outside in the protection of a shade tree. In the winter and early spring the broody hens must be locked up inside the laying house where they will be protected from storms and draughts.

The Lion’s Head. The water in a great many public

fountains, whether tor man or beast, comes .out of a lion’s mouth. This is said to be the reason:

Among the ancient Egyptians the rising of the waters' of the River Nile was the most Important event of the year, since It meant life and prosperity to the whole nation. The rising al- ways took place when the sun was in the constellation of Leo, or the iicn; so the Egyptians adopted the shape of a lion as the symbol for the life giving waters of the Nile.

How vital it is that every milk- producing cow should be free from disease, seeifig that infants often are largely dependent upon cow's milk for their sustenance!

Milk is a secretion from the blood elaborated in the mammary giland judder), and there supplied with added ingredients." To have healthy milk preconceives the idea that the cow’s blood must be healthy. Given a healthy cow we should so Teed and house the animal that she will re- main healthy, and so produce safe and wholesome milk.

Many of the diseases attacking cattle are avoidable. This is well demonstrated by the extrême rarity of contagious foot-and-mouth dis- ease among cattle in this country. At all times the disease is more or less prevalent somewhere in Europe, but our live-stock sanitarians keep it .out of this country. Occasionally it has appeared, but almost instantly has

I been stamped out. It never appears I spontaneously. Always it comes from a previously existing case.- So with other infectious diseases of cows.

Tuberculosis, for example, cannot occur spontaneously. Each new case comes from an old one. Do away with the seed'-producing case, and the seed from it, and no new case .can occur. Bacilli of tuberculosis are its seeds. Kill them, and there can be no crop. So the modem vetterinarian tests every cow with tuberculin, and discovers and eliminates those which Ceact because they are infected. Afterward he does everything in his power to make the remaining cjws resistant against disease, and to pre- vent them from coming- in contact with germs of disease. Johne’s dis< ease (chrofiic bacterial dysentery) may also be kept out, as we now have a test for it similar to- that foi tuberculosis. Anthrax, blackleg, and hemorrhagic septicæmia also are germ diseases, but different' from tu- berculosis, in "that they may be pre- vented by vaccination just as people nowadays are immunized with serum against typhoid and vaccinated against smallpox.

Even many of the simpler ailments of cattle are avoidable. Were scrup- ulous cleanliness observed and main- tained in the cow stable, and as re- gards the udder and teats , of the cow and hands of the milker, cases of eowpox, mammitis or garget, andj

^res <tf the teats, would he compar- atively rire. ,

Cleanliness and proper .^hygiene would also help to prevent many of the skin diseases of cattle, and some of ' the common cases of lameness.

Seed Orders and Supplies. The new seed catalogues are com-

ing in ■with thedr lists of novelties and staple varieties attractively ad- vertised, and one gets much enjoy- ment in turning over the pages of one of these catalogues and mentally picturing the fir^ crops one.will have next summer. Often, however, th^ cat?ilogue is laid asi^ without the order being sent, and nothing further is done until spring, wheii' it may be too late to get what is desired. The, quantity available of the best strains of vegetables and flowers is usually Small, hence'it is very important to order early before the stock is ex- hausted.

There is a gn^eat difference between the best and the poorest strains. Thé stock of the best has been rigidly sel- ected so that a large proportion will come true to type, whereas stock whidi has not been kept up by selec- tion may have a bad mixture of types, and the resulting crop will be very unsatisfactory. This is of so much importance that, "with a crop like the cauliflower, for instance, where a strain that will give a large propor- tion of good heads means much profit and a poor strain may waan very lit- tle, it pays the market gardener when he gets a good strain to hold over what seed he does not use until an- other year, as he will thus be sure of having a good strain next year.

method would not however, serve with the onion, which loses its germ- inating power very rapidly, hence should be purchased every year. There is a wonderful difference in onions. Sometimes from the seed of one stock a large proportion will be thicknecks while from another most of the plants make good bulbs. If one has had good success from a certain source one year, the safest plan will be to order from the same source an- other^ year.

Sometimes novelties have not ap- parently been compared very care- fully with the best of the older var-i ieties before being offered for sale,' as they do not prove superior, if as good. While it is interesting to test varieties, it is well not to spend much money on them until they have been tested at the Experimental Station.

Another advantage of ordering early is that one can test the germ- inating power of a seed before spring so that liiere will be time to order, again if the germination is poor; Often seed .is ordered so late that .when it is sown and the plants do not- come up there is not time to order again, and one loses the crop. When there is a shortage of many kinds of supplies, as there is at present, it is very desirable to order early the ma- terial needed for. next arson’s oper- ations.

What Makes a Nation Great?

“Commerce makes a nation great,” says the captain of industry. “A large standing army,” says the military authority. “Schools,” says the educa- tor. “A right spirit,” the preacher.

But let all tj?ese take heed. Forget not the importance , of the plow. Without it railroads would become streaks of useless iron and rust away. Cities and towns would decay and their names be forgotten. Social position would become a legend and all fame and distinction be obliter- ated.

History is little mere than a record of war's, privations and hôro'ism, be- cause these things kindle the imagin- ation and make the blopd run warm. But, after all, the trancjuil arts of husbandry are what measure a na- tion's greatness, gaug^ its commer- cial power. Without agriculture com- merce would die and the cottage give way to the hunter's cabin. Civiliza- tion begins and ends with agriculture.

Great is commerce, great are arm- ies, wonderful is the power of educa- tion, gut greatest of all is the plow. Speed the Plow!

A man in middle life once ■wrot# to Ms parents, “I shall neve* ceoef to be thankful for the hap^iy boyhooq which my father and motlr^r gave mfc It is a treasure house of memorie* more valuable than gold and silver.”

Fathers sometimes forget that ohil. dreh have the right to kç happy at home as well as at school. Let faàer* become the friends and companions of their children, share In the Sunday walks and talks, evening games and stories, help with studies or take an interest in inspecting some achieve» ment. The right relationship between father and child •will increase when mothers cease to resort to the fa-theri» discipline and punishment as a threat -for disobedience. Any man prefers to work and sacrifice for an affectionate, confiding child than for one who has been led to consider him a harsh judge and strict disciplinarian.

Almost anything which a child can claim,as his very own, can protect and care for -will serve to develop hie affections, and increase his sense of responsibility and self-respect. A dog, a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs, jiets of any kind are a source of joy to any child, for it takes very little to make healthy children happy.

Playmates are helpful in adding joy to the child’s life, and an only child should frequently have playmates. Little friends should bq- invited to the home, ahd the child encouraged to share his toys -with them. Every child, too, should have the opportun- ity to go to the social kindergarten, for in its democratic atmosphere, lit- tle people of all types ,come together. The over-indulged, the neglected, the shy and the backward all meet on common ground: and learn adaptabil- ity and self-control in their happy activities.

There is nothing which a boy de- spises more than .idleness and inac. tivity. On the other hand, toil and fatigue, day after day stunt gro-wth and take the joy out of life. A certain farmer once complained that the school enticed all his children away from the old farm. Upon inquiry, it was found that he assigned useless tasks on ra,iny days to keep-them busy aud that they never had any time for play or recreaticn. The leisure and the compauionship of the school were the only relief from drudgery which those childi-en ever knew, and only . through'compulsory attendance laws was that relief insured, them. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” On the other hand, all play and no work is the curse of the rich man’s son.

Eve-ry child finds satisfaction in work for •which he receives pay. So- called projects from which- he derives an income and for which he is re- sponsible give him a taste for work and develop an appreciation for th«

, value of money. “I’ll pay you baci when we get home,” whispered a self- 'respecting son of nine as, he watched his father pay the family car fares one holiday. A smile crept over the kindly face of the father as he re- plied, “No, indeed. Sonny.”

Both city and country children have opportunities to earn money. 'Though a farm may be the graveyaid of talent, it is the best place to spend one’s childhod if life there is coupled with good school advantages.

will be held by Franco instead of Ger- many in the future because of the cession of Alsace-Lorraine to Franco. The potash • deposits extend sixteen kilometres (9.94 miles) to the north of Mulhouse, over a surface of more than 180 square kilometres (69.2 square miles). Thoy are unusually rich In potash salts,, much richer In fact than the beds in the interior of Germany. They are, moreover, easier to exploit. Their thickness ranges from 3.7 to 5.4'metres (12.1 to 17.7 feet). The thickness of the smaller beds in thé upper layers varies from 0.8 to 1.5 metres (2.6 feet to 4.9.

I feet). I The first workings were begun in '1909; in 1913 there were twelve in i operation. In a period of only three years the production rose from 42,420 to 287,000 metric tons, so that the pro-

‘ duction of potash in Alsace in 1913 : was -already one-fifth of the entire German output. The total capital in- vested in the potash works of Alsace

IHEROMANŒOF IM MAKING

BROUGHT TO BRITAIN BY REFUGEES.

Modern Lace Came From Venice, Probably Offshoot

of Egyptian Product. The earliest Cabrlc which deserves

the name of lace was probably ^made In Egypt.

, Most of the "lace” mentioned in the early Bible -âges was in reality a sort of embroidery, and not lace in the or- dinary sense of the wordr

. "Very charming is the derivation'of the word lace, coming as it dpes -through the old French las; from uie Latin iagueus, a snares allied to lacere, to entice. Hence lace really means something that allures or entices."

So writes Mr. Thomas Wright in his Interesting book, “The Romance of the Lace Pillow,” describing the rise of the lace industry in England. “It is In the Egyptian lace that we find the origin of bobbin work. A specimen taken from a mummy case is pre- served in the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington.

“This primitive work was made on a frame' consisting of two vertical rods which were kept rigid on two horizontal bars. Two foundation cords were fastened across from one vertical bar to the other, one being near the top and the other, near the bottom. The thread to be plaited was wound upon these cords. After one end had been tied to the top founda- tion cord, the thread was wound over and under both cords in such a man- ner afe to allow the fingers of the worker’s left hand to be slipped in be- tween the thread coming in from the front of the top cord and the thread coming from the back.

“By this means and by using the fingers only, the threads were twisted and plaited, the front threads drop- ping back and the back threads being pulled forward. -This plaiting wa.s per- formed in the middle of the work. Upon the completion of each,row a stick was Inserted, and the work pushed up and down into position. The plaiting finished, the -work ^jould either be secured firmly in the middle or cut across and the cnds..tied, when there would, of course, be two ar-

■ticles.” ,, Other Days, JDther Ways.

The next sfep towa^s modem lace making was to use several shorter lengths of thread instead of one con- tinuous one; and to faste?i small handles, now called bobbins, lo -the ends of these cut lengths w:lh which to plait the threads. Later the fr^ie was discarded and the work placed on a pillow.

The Venetians claim that lace mak- ing, as we understand it, originated with them. They produce documents dated 1476 in which are passages men- tioning fabrics rrvade with bobbins. It is probable, however, that “lace” made its way to Venice from Eg^pt, taking many centuries to do so, and from Venice to Flanders. • •

In 15ÔS a number of lace makers ar- rived in Kent from Flanders, driven from their own country by Philip the Second. From all accounts they were mostly women, and very industrious.

“The lace they brought with them was regarded with wonder and admira- tion. At first, they settled in the coast towns of Kent and Sussex. Those among them, however, who came from the Mechlin (Malines) country made^ their way, in 1668, to Cranfield, in Bedfordshire. A little later others found their way into Buckingham- shire.”

After the massacre of Saipt Bartho- lomew, in 1672, many Huguenots es- caped to England. There were many lace makers, mostly fipm Lille, among them, and they settled down with the Flemish colony over there. As a natural result, many of the old designs of these parts are a combina- tion of the two laces, Mechlin and Lille.

When Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne, the lace Industry In this coun- try advanced by leaps and bounds. Mary Queen of Scots was also a great lover of ^laqe, and she is said to have made much' hefself during her cap- tivity.

KEEP HEALTHY DURING WINTER

Colds and Diseases May be

Avoided if the Blood is

, Kept Pure.

Do not let your'blood get thin this winter. For people who have a ten- dency towards anaemia, or bloodless- ness, winter is a trying season. LacK of exercise and fresh air, and the more restricted diet are among the many things tiiat ' combine to lower the tone of the body and deplete the blood. t

As soon as you notice the tired feed- ing, lack of appetite and shortness df breath that are waniing symptoms of thin blood, take a short course of treatment with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Do not wait until the color has entirely left your cheeks, lintil your lips are white and your eyes dull. It Is so much easier to correct thinning of the blood in the earlier stages than later. This is well Illustrated in^the case of Mrs.'E. Williams, Elk Lake, Ont., whp says: •— “I take great pleasure in letting you know the bene- fit I have found In the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I was in an anaemic condition, and was very weak and run down. The least exertion- would leave me breathless and it was with difiicuUy that I did household work. I was advised to'try Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills, and after the use of four boxes I felt like a' new person. In fact, my system seem%d filled with new energy and n^w life. I strongly recommend this medicine to all who feel weak or run down.”

The purpose of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is to build up the bloody They, do this one thing and they do it well. They are for this reason an invaluable remedy in diseases arising from bad or deficient blood, as rheumatism, neuralgia, after-effects of the grip or fevers. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drug and caiinot injure the most de- licate system.

You' caii procui-e'Dr. Wilfiams’ Pink Pills through any dealer In medicine, or they will be sent you by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 by writing direct to The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Prince Uses Elxplosives on Farm.

The beauty spot of Devon, Dart- moor, which is part of the Duchy of Cornwall and therefore the property of the Prince of Wales, is being trans- formed by explosives into productive farm land.

Gelignite is inserted' into holes in the hard ground and discharged by electric current. The explosions break up the sub-soU, and at the end of a few mbnths the ground is ready for cultivation.

An expanse of 150 acres on Dart- moor, which, though a delight to the artist, was formerly unproductive of anything but heather and gorae, has grown this year excellent crops of hay, carrots, swedes, turnips, pota- toes and peas.

Mr. Henry Vendolmans, an agricul- tural engineer, and a graduate of the University of Louvain, devised the method, of reclaiming hard waste land in this way.

“The crop of this year's grass alone has more than covered the expense of reclamation,” said M^ Vendelmans.

“I have studied the subject of re- clammation of waste lands for many years. In England alone I should say there are 2,000,000 acres of waste land which can be reclaimed.”

Youthful Achievement. Is it possible to speed up education,

as one can speed ur the production of shot and shell, potatoes and cereals? There are many examples to hand of amazing pre.cocity. Can this “for- wardness” be made the rule rather than the exception?

Music , has always produced infant prodigies. Sir Charles Halle was but a child of four when he played a sona- ta in puhjic expressly composed for him, Mozart made his debut at six, Chopin and Rnblnsteln performed on the platform at eight, Samuel Wesley composed a march for one of the Guards’ regiments at seven, and Elgar wrote the music of a child’s play at twelve.

In ' literature, Milton wrote epic poems before .he had turned eleven, Tennyson wrote charming lyrics at the age of twelve, Byron indited fluent and passionate love verses at ten, Bacon wrote like a philosopher dur- ing his tenth year, Macaulay began a compendium of universal history at the ripe age of seven, Douglas Jer- rold achieved success on the stage at fourteen, and that immortal boy, Chatterton, wrote masterpieces before he reached his teens.

Archaeologists contend that draw- ings of human beings and animals in ancient caves in France prove that man was right-handed as long ago as in the stone age. -

This Do I Ask. This do I ask my Guardian Fate,

That like a firm-set tree. Throughout the ripening years to

come My life shall grow to be.

Now in my burgeoning, bright youth, The spring dawn of my days,'

May April set r.-fiowering The green and tender sprays.

Whereon my winged dreams may sing,

Like birds that build their nest. And bring the sense of spring to

hearts With winter's pail oppressed. ■

May summer, like a cavalier, Ride by the garden wall

And, lingering, lose his burning heart To^one whîté tree arid small!

When autumn’s shuttle hours . shall weave ^

Their brown and golden weft, May then my patient branches spread.

Be not of fruit bereft.

I ask my share of rain and wind, Of sun serene and warm—

That I grow gentler in the light, And stronger in the storm.

CllILOHOOD CONSTIPATIOJi Constipation—that disordered state

of the digestive tract which is nearly always caused by improper feeding— can be readily regulated by the use of Baby’s Own Tablets. These Tablets are a mild hut thorough laxative. They are easy to take and are abso- lutely free from injurious drugs. Con- cerning them Mrs. Joseph Dion,-Ste. Perpetue, Que., writes:—“I have noth- ing but praise for Baby’s Own Tab- lets. When my baby was three months old he was terribly constipated but the Tablets soon set him right and now at the age of fifteen months he is a big healthy boy and this good health I attribute entirely to the use of the Tablets.” They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Peeurls to Order. Some years ago considerable in-

terest was taken in the discovery of a method of making real diamonds.

There was no mistake about the genuineness of the gems produced. The drawback lay in the fact that they were exceedingly small. |

Fourteen years ago a French scient- ist confirmed, by careful investigation, the accuracy of the Idea that a pearl is the result of a disease which at- tacks the pearl oyster.

Having"^established this fact, his •next step was to procure a number of pearl oysters, and plant them in his own pearl fishery in French waters, after first inoculating them with the disease which induces them to pro- duce pearls.

At first the pearls ue had been able to produce by this means were small, and of little worth: but, as he him- self remarked, they were real pearls, not mere globules of mother-of-pearl.

Church Crypt for Skulls.

Under the Chance! of the church at Hythe, Kent, England, is a very curi- ous crypt. This crypt is used as a depository for a large quantity of hu- man skulls and hones, which are be- lieved to be those of Danes killed close by in battle before the Norman Conquest. Most of the skulls 'are ar- ranged ru shelves, while the bones arc piled up in a symmetrical heap.

A Lake of Oil. Now and then a “gusher” breaks

loose, and the result is a Ihke of oil. One of the most remarkable happen- ings of this kind occurred not long ago in the Lance Creek district of Wyoming. A veritable geyser poured forth petroleum by the millions of barrelfuls, and, in order to save the precious fluid a dam was built across the valley which impounded a small sea of the fluid.

Ordinarily when'^such an escape oc- curs, resort is had to the expedient of throwing up banks of earth to prevent the oil from flowing far and wide. Then tank cars are fetched and the petroleum is pumped •board.

The publisher of the best Farmer’s paper in the Maritime Provinces ,in writing to us states :

“I would say that I do not know of a medicine that has stood the test of time like MINARD’S LINIMENT. It has been an unfailing remedy in our household ever since I can remember, and has outlived dozens of would-be competitors and imitators.”

Snowball Tips. "When you venture out Immediately

after a fall of snow, you need have little fear of cheeky urchins. It is when the snow begins to thaw that you will have to watch warily for a stinging snowball on your cheek. And this is the reason.

The snow, at first, is powdery. While4t is freezing, it makes very un- satisfactory snowballs. Open your window ' immediately after a snow- storm, and fill your hands from the ledge. The snow will scrunch into next to nothing, and will not hold to- gether iii a firm,solid mass.

But when the thaw sets in, it is a different matter. The crystal points of the snow interlace each other, jniid, the snow can be squeezed together into a compact mass. The balls eftn become almost as hard as ice—ahd then is the lime to keep your weather eye open!

Paying on the Nail. An expression with which everyone

is familiar, “paying on the nail,” comes from the old method of settling accounts, says an English^ writer.

In the early days of trade and com- merce, merchants on Change paid their debts by counting out their gold on to a copper “nail” or table, in the market place.

Written receipts are now almost uni- versal, and these nails are no longer used; but two splendid specimens still remain among the most interest- ing treasures of the ancient port of Bristol. ^

They are are each about four feet high, shaped like a gigantic hour- glass. There they stand In the busy street, a lasting monument to the in- tegrity of the old trading and mer- chant class, who paid on the pail and scorned a receipt.

He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching com. Instantly re* lieves soreness, and soon the entire com, root and all, lifts right out.

This drug Is a sticky ether com- pound, but dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even Irritating the surrounding tissue.

It Is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but is suffi- cient to remove «vers hard or soft com or callus from one’s feet. Cut this out. especially if you are a woman reader who wears high heels.
