The ^d editor does the Prof essor much honor in the production of a certaifrrTacy series of remarks fry Mr* Hughes, the "satiric" writer, attached to Tie staff of the London, England, "Daily News." Of course, when such great journals as the Van. juver Sun and the London Daily News give space j the ''learned professor," and when literary falters so famed give so much attention to this j������an Odium, he naturally feels bashful but greatly, >liged for honor thus copiously shed upon his imble endeavors in a journalistic way. That element which is most pleasing in this .iiole matter7is the fact that the Vancouver Sun, Ided by thei Daily News' "satirist" are impelled i give the Prof essor this public attention through fell known loving-kindness and a warm fellow- eling. '���������' I presume that the Sun is read by several scores 'thousands, and the Daily News must surely be lad by half a million. This is flattering to the lan who "attracts attention." He certainly en- ������ys the good work these giant journals are doing M* him. More power to their nimble pen-nibs. [However, it would be a,treat to get at the modus jerandi of the production by these two dailies in fetation to Professor Odium. ,1 wonder what was the exact process by which ,ie "Western Call'' got into the hands of the (itirical Mr. Hughes. Who sent him the Western .ill, and why? i Then again, why did Mr. Hughes give so much ftention to Odium, a man so far away from old ugland, and so completely unknown to the sa- histf Furthermore, how did the Hughes produc- >n in the Daily News come to the office of the J-ancouver Sun? And when it got there, how did le ssid Hughes article come into such prominence, Jad find so much valuable space in our Terminal |ity luminary? And once more, who in the Sun ice set the machinery to work to say so much out Odium, and WHY? It may seem strange for me to say it, but still venture to make ������P guess. X see -the cloven n$of, ie forked tail and smell the burning sulphur of ie living cause1 of the London letter, and its pro- action in Vancouver. I may say to the Western Call readers that tiie ���������tele referred to, which Mr. Hughes was so good write- seems to have grown out of my article , the Western Call oh "Prairie Parasites." I This article seems to have set other big presses t work, aud wonderfully stirred up considerable rain storms in certain cerebral centres. The oroments of Mr. Hughes on my article are quite seless to base an answer upon, as his criticisms re hurled at short quotations, which are broken rom their logical and sequential setting. But this I can say: The Sun and Mr. Hughes nust be of opinion that the Professor's article on 'Prairie Parasites" is so strong and telling tbat hey give much time and vast quantities of news- iaper to throw up a rampart against its effects on ie public. . Perhaps one of the chief troubles is the fact lat "the learned gentleman of the Western Call" i too much of, an Imperialist for the Daily News nd the Sun, which papers reflect the ancient grasshopper" spirit often out of the twelve spies 'ho were sent to spy out. the Promised Land, hey said,���������"We be grasshoppers."

Ford Ottawa, April 1.���������That the Liberals' when they went to their constituencies at Easter found that they were very much "in wrong" on the naval issue and that the lesson they then learned has been taken to heart is very evident from the chastened attitude that they have been taking since the House resumed its sittings last Tuesday. It is a meek Opposition that now faces the Government, anxious to have the House and the country forget the turbulence they created and the Parliamentary anarchy they sought to create, and striving to atone by a more or less mild behavior for the secessionist doctrine that was so startling and so notorious during the second week of the obstruction of the navy bill. But the fact remains that it is still the party that talked of the "Boston Tea Party," the party whose leaders read the American Declaration of Independencetand found in it and in the historic struggle that it prefaced their parallels for the present situation. True, this good behavior may not last. The outside element that by its sinister influence dominated the councils of the party within the House and led it into unparalelled excesses under the leadership of Hon. William Pugsley may once again become dominant and add still further to the degradation into which Liberalism has been brought in the eyes of the people of Canada. The course of the Government has been made very clear by Premier Borden in thje two mani-, festoes which he has recently issued; These public utterances have cleared away the clouds which the Liberal orators have sought to raise in an endeavor to hide the real issue. The Premier showed that his proposals were a temporary plan for Canada to do something big, something prompt and something effectual for the strengthening of the naval defences of the Empire. Canada has lagged shamefully behind the other Overseas Dominions and the Conservative plan is, at one stroke, to redeem the good name of the Dominion. The permanent policy will be formulated later, after further consultation with the admiralty arid will be submitted to the people before it becomes law. The Premier showed that the ships dould not possibly be built before the next election is held. If the country should decide in favor of the Laur-; ier plan it would still be possible to utilize 'the Dreadnaughts for the proposed Canadian fleet units. This statement has absolutely cut the ground from underneath the Liberal obstruction and gives the Opposition no justification for continuation of its tactics. Their main plea for obstruction was that Mr. Borden had decided on contributions as the permanent policy for the Dominion. This the Premier has declared to be absolutely incorrect. The Liberal appeal that the country should be consulted as an excuse for blockading is equally ridiculous, as before anything final can be done the people will be consulted. If, the Liberals continue their policy of holding up the business of the country, closure will be, introduced, for the Premier is determined that Parliamentary anarchy must cease, and that Canada shall have role by majority, not by minority. The amendments to the rules which have been proposed to facilitate business of the House have already, been prepared and a copy has been sent to the leader of the Opposition. Notice of the closure has not yet been given by the Premier; whether it comes or net will depend entirely upon the Opposition. The Premier would much prefer to have the bill, pass without any changes in the rules being made necessary, but be. will not hesitate to take such a course if the Liberals assume an attitude that makes this necessary. That the Government is determined to maintain the inland waterways of the country to the point required to properly handle the commerce of the country was made evident by the discussion in the House on Thursday afternoon when the general question of the improvement of the St. Lawrence River led on to the further and larger question of improving the inland system generally. The department of marine, which Hon. J. D. Hazen is administering with such notable efficiency, ia about to undertake a very important investigation into the effect which the continued dredging of the St. Lawrence River is having upon the water levels of that great waterway. If it is found that the tendency is to reduce these levels, it is likely that a plan will be adopted of providing what are known as "compensatory works." these being in the form of partial dams which will tend to hold the water back and restore the, levels generally, while at the same time maintaining the deep water channel from Montreal to the sea. It is unnecessary to say that this is of extreme importance to the whole of Eastern Canada, but of even more general importance is the attention that is being given to the larger system of the Oreat Lakes and connecting waters. From the ports at the head of Like Superior to the foot of Lake Erie there is todair a 30-foot channel. The deepening of the Weliand Canal to the same depth will extend this deep waterway to the foot of Lake Ontario: Ifrom Montreal to the ocean there is similar depth. This leaves but one portion of the whole system un- ipiroyided for****-that is the section between Lake Ontario and Montreal where a system of small canals still prevails. ~ In the House on Thursday Premier Borden intimated that the Government had had brought before it the duty of also dealing with; this section and of making it conform to the bataisce of the waterways., He, intimated further that ise carrying out of the gi*at wbrjk^h^ be necessary might be facilitated by the joint action of Canada and the State bf New York, the government of that state having given indication of readiness to consider such an undertaking. One point that was emphasized by a member from Western Ontario, Mr. W. M. German, was the possibilities present of generating electrical energy in large amount through harnessing the waterpowers on the St. Lawrence along between Lake Ontario and Montreal. The economic importance of a completed 30-foot channel from Fort William to the ocean can hardly be overstated. It would mean that cargoes of from two to three hundred thousand bushels of grain could be carried direct from Fort William and Port Arthur to Liverpool, instead of the changes from ship to rail and back again to ship necessary under the'present state of affairs. Such an improved condition as would result from a clear waterway-to the sea for Canadian grain could not fail to build up a great Canadian carrying fleet and stimulate Canadian shipbuilding.

Year-book of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1911, Washington, 1912.) Farmers are said to be responsible for nearly 90 per cent of the approximately 1,000,000 acres of forest plantations in the United States today. Of these 1,006.000 acres, 860,000 arc found in the so- called central treeless region (States of Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, the prairie district of Minnesota, and portions of Oklahoma and Texas west of the hardwood belt) 100,- 000 acres east of it, and 40,000 acres west. 1 In the older settled portion of the treeless region the area of planted timber is decreasing. Plantations of such rapid-growing species as white wil low, soft maple, and common cotton-wood, established 30 or 40 years ago chiefly for the protection from winds- are not being cut, because they are mature and for the most part arc situated on land which is more valuable for agriculture than for" the production of timber of low value. Future planting in this region is then likely to be confined to the establishment of narrow belts of some coniferous tree for the protection of farm buildings or to the production of timber from some rapid growing species as hardy catalpa. In the ther portions of this treeless region planting is on the increase, chiefly for the purpose (Continued on Page 8) PRINTING, THE LATEST AND BEST, DONE with dispatch by skilled workmen, at the Terminal City Press, Ltd., Cor. 8th and Westminster Road, Phone Fairmont 111+0.

Here, on the Pacific Coast* Spring tiptoes into our presence without parade, the witchery of Nature's inimitable mvfaic or any distinguishing demonstration to arouse our contented' senses and indifferent sensibilities. The contrast is emphasized by the scarcity of wild birds and domestic animals in this land of money-madness and dearth of aesthetics. MONlYPAMlHfc A money-famine threatens thia Western ,coun- ��������� try today. It may be traced to several causes, among which are the European war situation, the lack of industrial and agricultural enterprises, and especially the Over speculation in real estate. Enlarging upon these, we may predict an early settlement of the Balkan war since Turkey officially accepts the terms of peace proposed by the European Powers. This/when consummated, wm open the money vaults and put their contenta in circulation. The whole world will share in the benefit, but British Columbia will not escape from the embarrassments now experienced because industrial and agricultural interests are almost either absent or strangled in birth. Investigation will satisfy that wild speculation in real estate is the chief cause of depression. So long aa'-'{ outsiders were rushing in and buying lots prosperity smiled on our streets and in every place of business, but when the influx of money ceased, our revenue supply was cut off. Not haying industrial or agricultural pursuits to giv$ employment to our people and to furnish tha wherewith to live, empty purses result -, idle workmen, disappointed and dissatisfied citizens complain, leave their holdings and go elsewhere to publish us as robbers and incompetent failures. The liigh price of real estate in |;r^ish Columbia is practically ^prohibitive and suicidal. The present money shortage was easily f orseen and could have been prevented.

'They'are hunjffy. 099 hundred thousand people must be fed for an indefinite time. Food and money must be sent them or horrifying suffering will surely result. Right Hon. Winston Churchill claims that the Canadian ships are necessary to maintain sunt' cient strength in 1916. While Canada is spending months over the question of $35,000,000 to add to the strength of our Empire, Australia is planning much larger additions cheerfully and without opposition. With the modified tones of the Opposition the Government is able to make some progress in business. They have voted $27,000,000 supply, which is about one-sixth of the whole estimates for the new fiscal year. The sudden death of J. P. Morgan removes one Of the greatest and best of the world's financiers from the tangible sphere of business activity. Money-making did not blind him to the infinitely greater things of life. April first finds Turkey willingly accepting the terms of peace proposed by the Powers. The acceptance is accompanied by hearty expressions of thanks for their kind mediation. Plucky, but over-confident Servia and Montenegro continue to bombard the Scutari forts notwithstanding the note from the Powers advising discontinuance. The will of the powers must be respected. Hon. W. J. Bowser, Messrs. Tisdall and Watson spoke at the new quarters of the Vancouver Conservative Association, Mr. J. R. Jacobs occupy- the chair. The increase of commercial activity upon the opening of the Panama Canal, the all-absorbing . naval question and the benefit to white fishermen on the Pacific Coast were some of the questions handled by these able and popular speakers. The examination intoj, the Vancouver school affairs continues to uncover irregularities that evidence the necessity of keeping strict watch of most men whose gain may be temporarily increased by dishonesty. In all matters related to British Columbia H. H. Stevens, M.P., gives evidence of deep and com- prehensive knowledge, hence his advice and suggestions re such matters is highly valued in Ottawa. \ ���������*- -y0m yyymmm 7&J^$?$pl ... ;'..-,rd.W;-'."y*>'-,;J 77 7??7ft<iJ7| tea ���������';' a :7#iiM| ������������������-'��������� 'yyxvmm& : ��������� y^yi$rmiAB: :77)vsfj;%gS' x-yyyyiA$:i0 -'%-;������������������'���������. ������������������ '7:W7<5i^y*������S -���������xx'-xy-fyyWi xxxxy.--yxi0^������i:. ymy!mm yyyyg^ #i$m 7;7|||||l ...-7l;7S7*-37I ���������Ayyyygm ' ������������������'.'���������*������������������?:������������������������������������!������������&������������������&&!.

"When you see your cakes light as eiderdown, And each one done to a golden brown, You'll wonder much, as you eat, I wigs, If Hymettus honey was better than this." " How to Cook a husband " "A good many husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some women keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words; others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives. It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and good, managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated,. In selecting your husband, you should not be guided by the silvery appearance, as in buyuing mackerel, nor by the golden tint, as if you wanted salmon; be sure you select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to the market for him, as the best are always brought to your door. It is far better to have none unless you will patiently learn how to cook him. A preserving kettle of finest porcelain is best, but if you have nothing but an earthenware pipkin, it will do, with care. See that the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings sewed on. Tie bim in the kettle by a strong .silk cord called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak and they are apt to fly out ot the kettle and be burned and crusty on the edges, since, like crabs and lobsters, you have to cook them alive. Make a clear, steady fire out of love, cheerfulness and neatness. Set him as near to this as seems -to agree witl him. If he sputters and fizzles, do not be anxious; some husbands do this unti|they are quite done.. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar ��������� or pepper of any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used ���������' with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently;' watch'the while, lejrt he Ue too flat and too close to the kettle, and so become useless. You cannoT fail to7 know when he is done. If*thus treated, you will find him very digestible, agreeing, nicely witb you and the children, and he .wjll keep as long as ybuu want,,unless you become careless and set him in too cold a place." . ��������� i. -- Appropriate Quotations that Appear in this Book "The proof of tbe pudding is in the eating." / ��������� "Such and so various are the tastes of men."���������Akenside "A delicate odor as ever hit my nostril." ��������� '-.- . ���������Shakespeare. ��������� ���������*.

With each day of this modern age old records go by the board and new standards are set up that to the un- itiated are indeed remarkable. For years we have heard of the onward sweep of the automobile; we have also thought many of us that with the popularity of the horseless vehicle the horse must sink into disuse and oblivion. But one great fact is borne home to us that the better class of horse is in greater demand than ever, costs more and is receiving more attention from breeders. This is proven by the intense interest taken in Vancouver British Columbia, and the entire North West in the sixth annual Vancouver Horse Show, which is scheduled for April 21st to 26th at Vancouver. It will in many respects be a world beater, location and environment considered. While the Olympia show of London is and has always been the largest in the world, outranking Madison Square Garden Show of New York. It will have 180 classes, of which 71 are for breeding purposes only; it will have over 1000 blooded exhibits; award over 700 ribbons, distribute $8,000 in cash and donate some twenty magnificent trophies, including the famous one from the Duke of Connaught for draught horses.

The witnesses from various parts of the country will be heard next week and following the taking of their evidence the committee will discuss the clauses around which most of the criticism of the present banking system centres. F. B. McCurdy, the young member for Shelbourne and Queen's, who defeated Hon. W. S. Fielding and who as a prorgessive financier has studied financial and banking problems has of. fered several new amendments to the act. Mr. McCurdy has very decided views on the bank act and is particularly anxious to see depositors given ample protection. Mr. McCurdy, as t matter of fact, while seldom heard ln the House, is making a name for himself at Ottawa through the soundness of his advice and his sane criticism ln both the banking and railway commit, tees. One amendment which Mr. McCurdy proposes is that a proxy must be signed within three months of any bank meeting instead of two years as the law now stands. Another amendment is that depositors as well as shareholders have the right to inspect lists of transfers of shares. At present this right is extended only to share, holders and Mr. McCurdy feels that it is only right that depositors should be allowed the same privilege in order to know what is their security. Other important amendments are proposed by Mr. Middlebro, member for North Grey, Ontario. He asks that the act require that the shareholders' auditor shall be selected only after the election of directors; that no newly directed auditor or director in the previous year shall vote on the ap. pointment of such auditor, and that if at the annual meeting one-fourth of the shareholders request a special audit or Inspection the minister of ft. nance shall appoint the special auditor who will report to him as to his investigations. The minister of finance, Hon. W. T. White, has stated his desire that the Ready to take advantage of every logical opening for the advancement of Canadian commerce the Government has introduced: tbe legislation necessary to come under the provi. sions of the treaty which was concluded between Great Britain and Japan in 1911 and the provisions of which apply to Canada by this country tak. ing the necessary steps, Canada gets favored nation treatment by commg under the pact, something that is of notable importance in view of the opening up of the Orient and the growing trade between this continent and the nations of Asia. Trade be* tween Japan and Canada already amounts to some three and a half -sMion dollars a year. This new treaty, which must be signed by May 5 according to the terms of the Anglo. Japanese agreement, will, it is believed give a decided impetus to com. merce between the two countries. It should be specially advantageous to the growing flour industry of the prairie provinces as Japan is a big im. porter of this commodity. Tbe Government has guarded Canada's immigration rights by inserting a clause that makes it absolutely clear that the control ot immigration from Japan to Canada shall be vested as It ought to be, in the parliament of the Dominion. The safeguard thus afforded is in line with the action taken by tn������ United States Government in asent. ing to a similarl7 proviso to the. recent/treaty between the Government of Japan and the Government of the United States. * It will be remembered that the for. mer treaty with Japan which was' ratified by parlCfthment in January 1907 gave to Japanese subjects full liberty to enter, travel or reside in any part of Canada. Subsequently an arrange, ment was entered into between the late Government of Canada and the Government of Japan by which the Japanese Government undertook to restrict and control within certain limits emigration from Japan to Canada. It was strongly objected that tbis ar. rangement gave to the Government of Japan a control which ought to be exercised by the Government and parliament of Canada. In 1903 parliament passed an act respecting immi. gration wbicb contains very important provisions, among which are'sections 37 and 38 whicb 'are as follows: 37. "Regulations made by the governor in council under this act may provide as a condition to permission to land in Canada that Immigrants and tourists shall possess in their own right money to a prescribed minimum amount, which amount may van* according to race, occupation or destination of such' immigrant or tourist *a& otherwise according to the clrcnai. stances; snd may also provide that all persons coming to Canada directly or Indirectly from countries which Issn* passports or penal certificates to tot* sons leaving auch countries, shall pro. dace such passports or penal certli* cates on demand of the iaatlgratlen officer in'charge before being allowed to land in Canada." 38. "The governor In council may, by proclamation or order, whenever he deems it necessary or expedient: (a) Prohibit the landing in Canada or at any specified port of entry la Canada of any Immigrant who has come to Canada- otherwise than by continuous Journey from the country of which he is a native or naturalised citizen, and upon a through ticket purchased in that country, or prepaid in Canada. (b) Prohibits the landing in Canada of passengers brought to Canada hy any transportation company which refuses or neglects to comply with the provisions of this act; ' (c) Prohibit for a stated period, or permanently, the landing in Canada, or the laniding at any specified port of entry in Canada, of immigrants belonging to any race deemed unsuitable to the climate or requirements of Can. ada, or of immigrants of any specified class, occupation or character." Now Canada is taking every precaution to protect this country from any Asiatic invasion.

"That's the point," she said, laugh- ling recklessly. "I want to know why you have no affection for me. What. Is the matter with me?

I am rich, beautiful, young, and devoted to you. When I looked ln the glass tbis morning I knew, though you might make a show of resistance at first, you would succumb ln the long run. Don't you think lt ls more natural for a woman, so gloriously beautiful aa I, to wish to gather roses ln the sunshine, to long for a lover's arms, for his fren- sled kisses, to give herself body and soul, Into his dear keeping/than to let her heart throb away Its youth in solitude?" "I can't say," he said, dubiously; "my nature ls a cold one, but I am not the only man in creation, Mrs. Wycherly. There are hundreds of men, better born, better bred; moneyed men, worthier In every way than I am. Men whom you could captivate, and Inflame with the passion you desire, who would be proud to win you, proud to call you wife. Why, ln the name of common sense, have you fixed on me?

I couldn't reach the precious gem unmounted, it glowed and gleamed, now near, now fa-, like a Jack-o'-lantern down in the dark, dismal marshes." - He stood drawn to his full height, his dark face blanched. "So you gave ti������s ball, put yourself -to all this trouble and lavish expenditure, Just to tell me that you loved me?" "Dont look at me like that," she said, pulling a petal from the orchid in bis coat, back again to her wilful, wayward trifling; "not that alone, but to ask you to marry me." what contemptuously, "you realiy make me laugh���������you can't coisyil a man to marry you." "Laugh Ly all means," she said, with a quietness tbat was more formidable than any violence, "I can wait until your mirth has subsided. Up here, away from the world, alone with you, I can wait until the crack of doom." "Wait fcr what?" he asked, beginning to st&mp his foot. "For your decision. Once again, Paul Farley, will you rrarry me?" "No," he said, standing erect, in calm composure. "I will not, and nothing on earth shall make me." "Then you take the consequences ot your refusal?" she asked, throwing out her arms as if freeing herself from imaginary bonds. "Will you tell me the consequence that I may get it over quickly?" he asked, inclined to smile at her dramatic gestures. "I'll show you," she said, going to the untapestried recess and taking some object from a table patterned with rich mosaic work. "This little friend has stood me in good stead before to-day." "Mrs. Wycherly," he shouted, springing towards her, "for heaven's sake don't act like a mad woman!" "Keep back," she commanded, in a hoarse, warning voice, "or I'll kill you outright." He stood still, fascinated, his eyes on hers, staring at her strange beauty. He did not for one moment doubt her, lt was no idle boast, the woman was in deadly earnest. "I don't know whether you are afraid of death," she said in a voice so altered and distorted that it terrified him to listen to her, "but I am not. I would rather lie peacefully in my coffin' than drag out a long, solitary, miserable existence. I have suffered enough, as much as a human heart can bear before the ultimate, the final breakdown. My bodily health all along has been good, but in mind I have1 been ill, terribly ill, and now that this crisis has come and Death.is -at my elbow, it's not so very dreadful to go away with him "Mrs. Wycherly," he whispered, his heart in his throat, "you can't mean to do yourself a mischief? You won't surely do anything so wild and wicked. You say you love me, and yet you would embitter my life with the poisoned knowledge that I bad been the cause of your awful, irreparable sin." She smiled, a pitying smile, as if she felt a great compassion for his simplicity. "I am hot going to leave you behind a prey either to remorse or as booty for AgheSyFletning, or any other woman vulture who may cross your path. I shall send you first, and wherever you go I shall follow. I mean to keep alongside of you, Paul, whether it be here in the quiet country lanes of Weyberne, or through the misty, interminable space of some other sphere. It the choice rested with me I would rather have you in the flesh-���������there could be no two opinions about that, and feeling so strongly on that point, I'll give you a further grace of three minutes i* decide whether you will take me as your wife, and with me sufficient gold to purchase all that the world can give or the heart desire, or to lie there, a corpse, acrosB this carpet." Their eyes travelled simultaneously to a handsome ormolu clock on a bracket, and as they looked, it gave ��������� startling whirr, chimed, and struck twelve. ��������� 7 . "The witching hour of midnight!" she said, with a soft laugh, lowering her arm a morsel, so that tbe nozzle of tbe pistol covered the region of his heart, and then a silence settled ovei the room, which fell thicker,, heavier, and deadlier as tbe minutes ticked themselves out. Faintly, at intervals, he could heat the deep-toned, long-draws notes ol the bass viol. They were dancing again, his friends, flirting, laughing, Joking, all unconscious of his peril. He grew sorry for himself, intensely sorry tor his lonely position, for the solitude that encompassed blm. But In and out, weaving lis way through all the powerful, vivid emotions that crowded about bim, came a new horror which stood out like a golden light in a dark forest, hung like a Mood-rett moon, above . a snowy landscape, it drained the strength from his quavering knees, and dried the warm Juicy sap bounding through his veins���������the horror, of the shattering of his grand intellect A familiar face, handsome, strong, LAND NOTICES of VAITCCtrVEB iand -district Bist-xic - of Ccaat, Range 2 TAKE notice, that George Hunt Vancouver, B.

Perfect Health Is coordination or harmony between Mental and Physical, a condition ln which the brain has free and uninterrupted communication with every part of the body. Disease is inco-ordination or discord, the communication between the brain and the diseased part being hindered. Therefore, to bring a sick person back to health, co-ordination must be restored, there must be free communication between the brain and the diseased part, the hindrance must be removed. Drugs and prescriptions do not restore co-ordination. They are supposed to act on the diseased part which is physical. Operations cut out the diseased physical part, and do not restore co-ordination. Christian Scientists, Mental Healers and others work on the mental part by giving suggestion, etc. This does not restore co-ordination. Now See the Difference A Chiropractor, hy Spinal Adjustment, removes the pressure which is hindering, communica* v tion between the brain and the seat of trouble.

"Hello, there, Farley!" he exclaimed, stepping forward'too late to Inter-. cept his rapid progress. | "What on earth's the matter?" he asked himself, staring at the open doorway through which Paul had disappeared into th nigfit. "The fellow came down that stairway as if the devil himself were behind him." And without more ado he followed him out into the grounds. j The Squire's eyes were strong and long-sighted, and ured to scanning uncertain objects op dark nights in all weathers, and without the aid Of the moon through the rifted clouds he , could have discerned' Paul's white shirt-front against the background ot sable landscape. He was on the further side of the huge sweep of lawn. Bitting on a rustic bench, his arms, folded, his chin on his breast. j "What cheer?

"I���������I'm nci well, perhaps I've danced too much, anyway don't bother me, Felix," he said deprecatingly, putting a shaky hand on his shoulder. It was the first time he had used his.

The phenomena had not had time to repeat itself, and the few spare stars in tbe dark heavens twinkled palely as If assuring him the yhad no Intention of falling from their high estate. ' "You've been quick," he said. "I meant to be," Felix rejoined briskly. "Get up, that vapory moisture hovering above the marshland will wet you to the skin in no time." He rose somewhat stiffly, and swayed as if he were not quite sober. "I don't think there's much amiss with you beyond a touch of vertigo," Felix said in a casual way, helping with his coat, "but, I say, my dear fellow, if ever you are in any trouble, If ever you should need any sort of help���������I don't care whether it is pecuniary or otherwise���������or any advice, where an older man can trot out his experience for the benefit of the younger, you know where to look for a staunch friend who'll be proud and gratified to do his; level best for you." "Thank you," he said huskily, "I know you would," he groped about a moment, found and wrung his hand. "Would you like me to walk back with you?" Felix asked. "No, thanks; I would rather be alone," he said, withdrawing his hand a trifle forcibly from the Squire's detaining clasp and turning on his heel, "Good-night, and thank you." "Better so." he said himself, twisting a /Silk wrapper round his throat, "UW." ������������������.������ ItniM. ttwmt- ������ ���������mn.mmm'. wits���������I'll think It out carefully, sleep on It, and see what sort of an aspect the wretched business wears to-morrow. The mischief take the crazy jade!" CHAPTER XII. The Paragraph in the Papers It was eight o'clock, the breakfast hour at the Manor House. Felix sat in his accustomed place at the foot of the table, the Morning Post propped against the silver dish covejr In front of him. Four hours hack they were dancing at The, Larches, and now the October sunlight streamed! Into the parlor, putting the Squire's cheerful, fire to the blush. Agnes was not yet at her post behind the cosy, so Felix had poured out a cup of cof-' fee, helped himself to a couple ot) rashers of bacon and one or two finej mushrooms. Two letters lay beside! hns plate, which he turned over with some curiosity, opened, and read! while he ate. ; -The first was rather a bumble, but withal a manly, honest, straightforward epistle from Dr. Hunter, asking permission to pay bis addresses to Agnes. The second was an anonymous one, ill-spelt and curiously worded. It informed him that young Mr. Farley, up at the Hall, was courting a certain gent's sister, that tbey did their billing and cooing under the eaves ot a disused mouldy summer-! house, reeking with dry and damp rot,' and moreover, it was possible, aighiy. probable, the little love-birds would1 chirrup there on the next evening but one. ' "A droii. idea that!" he muttered, as the door opened to admit Agnes. He smiled to himself, and threw a fine glance of trustful affection towards her as she seated herself at the breakfast table, "You're a sensible girl, Aggie, and generally able to bring things into their proper focus. Read that, and tell me your opinion of it,'' he said, tossing Dr. Hunter's letter into her lap. The other, whose skulking author was hitting in the dark, and. for the nonce hitting harmlessly, he smoothed out, put carefully /and deliberately into its flimsy envelope, slipped it into hiB breast pocket, and went, on with his breakfast, resuming hiB perusal of the leading article from where be left off at the last break. - "Hum!" he remarked, sotto voce, for no one's special benefit, "these daily records of casualties and series of mishaps, the lack ot foresight and inability on our side, present the uncomfortable suggestion that the British army is degenerating into merely a home profession fc- our wealthier classes." He took a piece of toast from tbe rack, buttered it,, turned; the paper, and leaned it back again in its former position upon the cover. He bent forward, crunching the crisp, dry crust, running a keen, quick eye over the fresh page, until a paragraph containing several familiar names caught bia attention and arrested further progress . A sharp, short exclamation and a low peculiar whistle, indicative of dismay or astonishment, caused Agnes to lift a flushed face and eyelashes fringed with suspicious moisture. "Why, Felix," she said, surprised, "how funnny you look! - I mean you look flabby, liverish, out of sorts." "Caught Farley's complaint, no doubt." he said, with an uneasy laugh. "He was a bit bowled over last night, or rather this morninng By the way, Agnes, I don't think I've heard you express an opinion one way or the other about that young man. How do you like bim? What do you think of him?" "I like him very much," she said, heartily and naturally. "I took to him the first time I saw him." ��������� "You thought him a well-behaved, clever fellow, cultivated'manners, and all that sort of thing; no humbug, eh?" "Yes, I did, and I tbinn so now," she said, smiling. "Did it'ever strike you there waa anything between bim and Mra. Wycherly?" "Ntever. He has told me more than once be disliked' her. if there bad been I'm certain you would have known ot it." "I'm not so sure, he Ib very reserved, a young man evidently who can keep his own counsel, aa to-day's paper can certify." "Is there anything about him In the paper?" she asked with. interest; "I expect he's done something horribly, gloriously clever." "Exceedingly clever! Listen to thiB: '. narriage haa been arranged, and wiii Bhortly take place between Paul Farley, Esq., of New York, U.S.A., at present, in England visiting Sir Thomas Hargrave, M.P., of Weyberne Hail, and Rowena Matilda, widow of Guy Wycherly, Esq, late of The Larches, Weyberne.*" She sat bolt upright in astonishment.' ��������� - "It's untrue, absolutely untrue," she said very earnestly, "there's not a shade of a shadow of truth in it." "You are very positive, Agnes," he said, lifting his eyebrows; "as imaginative and resourceful as we know our charming widowed neighbor to be, still, I don't think she would dare to insert that announcement without some foundation to go upon." "I; simply know wbat he has told me himself in the ordinary conversational way," she answered, instantly seeing that a temperate middle course was the only safe and practicable one to pursue. "Mra. Wycherly may have inveigled him into something like an apology for a proposal and taken advantage of it." He leaned back, looking at her thoughtfully, tilting his chair to a dangerous degree. "I expect you've about hit it, Aggie," he said, admiringly, "and I can tell you the exact time it occurred. It was fifteen minutes past twelve when I saw him come careering���������great Scott! if my surmise is correct, this notice must have been sent to the paper before Farley proposed. It must either have been posted early yesterday morning, or overnight." "But how could she be sure he would ask her?" she demanded, with round wondering eyes; "how foolish she might have made herself look." "Shells a good deal more likely to make other folk look foolish, mj dear," be returned quickly. "I won- 4ssT- whv- he reJbaaad to, confide hi, mo' I felt sure the trouble came from that quarter, and that he waa In an un* holy dilemma." ; "Did you ask him to confide in you?" "Not in so many words, but his not doing so amounted to a refusal after the way in which I. opened up tbe invitation." "How did you know there waa anything wrons?" she asked, leaving her place to fetch bis cup. "Why,- I saw him* come leaping downstairs, three steps at a time, with a face like a hunted stag. He rushed outside, across to the outskirts of tbe lawn, and I found him huddled up on a seat, looking as if���������Babylon had fallen.

He turned again to the paper with the air of one who had done with a matter, at least ao far as he was concerned. But bis face was set and ususually grave; be looked vexed, disappointed, and hurt. Agnea was silent, she scarcely knew what to say, it was all so mysterious and unexpected .

"While the industry is capable of an expansion of five times its present bulk without impairing the wood capital, one rather shrinks from the thought oT what condition forest fires, if they on.".- got headway might leave. Canada ha-i ah estimated growth per acre of 15C board feet and a cut of 125 hoard fec-t, hut the fire loss is 525 board feet. The terrible disproportion between th"1 amount grown and the amount -removed every year is something which must be overcome if Canada is to maint -iln her place in the fore of the timber producing-nations.

The Chiropractor by a skilful movement of his hands on the spine of the sick person removes the pressure. The nerves whieh have been dormant by reason of the pressure again become active, aad Nature by this means affects a cure. The Chiropractor never claims to cure. All he does is to remove the pressure and thus open the door for Nature to do her ' wonderful work. The Chiropractor never worries himself or the patient by seeking to give a name to the trouble. The trouble is slmpiy - an effect for which there must be a cause. "Every effect has a cause." 80 the Chiropractor finds the cause, removes it, and then Id the ordinary course of things the effect should cease.

RAILWAY BUSINES8 FOR JAN. . UARY7- 'A-yAA''^ The mild weather that prevailed throughout the United States during January and the good condition of business in general caused the returns of the railways to show large increases over January of 1912, a month that was characterised by severe weather impeding railway operation. Operating income for each mile of line averaged $7.66 for each day in January. 1913. This average for Jan uary. 1912, was $5.09. The corresponding average per mile per day for the last fiscal year was $9.19, for the previous fiscal year $9.52, for the seven months of the current fiscal year $11.46. Com' parison with these longer periods averages the effect of fluctuations of the weather and shows that last January as usual was relatively a poor month for railway traffic. The fact that this operating Income per mile of line per day averaged $12.13 in November, $10.16 in Decern ber, and $7.66 in January shows that as usual this was a month during which traffic diminished. Operating income is the amount, after the payment of operating er penses and taxes, available to the railways for rentals, interest on bonds, appropriations for betterments, Im provement8, and new construction, and for dividends. In the aggregate it averaged per mile of line for the month $375 for the railways of the East; $224 for the railways of the South, and $177 for the railways of the West. These figures are from the summary of earnings and expenses of steam railways operating about ninety per cent of .the mileage of the country, made by the Bureau of Railway Economics from the reports of these railways to the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Tree Planting By Farmers (Continued from Page I) w protection, but partly, also, for the production of fence posts. East of the treeless region forest planting is also on the increase. This is due, among other reasons, to the decrease in the supply of native timber, the fact that considerable areas are more suitable for timber, than for agricultural crops, and the expectation of quick and large returns froni such trees as hardy catal- pa and black locust. For these saire reasons planting in these regions may be expected to increase in the future. *n a number of States planting Is also stimulated by competent State forest officers, and, in addition, in Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maryland and Vermont, through dis. {ribution by the State of forest tree seedlings. West of the treeless region planting tor future protection in irrigated districts and tor timber produc. tion In those parts of California adapted to the growing of eucalyptus will undoubtedly Increase. It ls believed that in future many fanners will be forced to raise their own timber of general future use, .or else pay an almost prohibitive price for it. In some sections of the coun. try the price of posts has doubled in the last 10 to 15 years and may be expected to double again in the next 10. 16 years. This article discusses briefly, for the region east of Nebraska, north of Tennessee and North Carolina, the best trees to plant, the methods to be followed in planting them, and the products they yield. Por convenience the larger region is subdivided into three smaller ones; the treeless region, which Includes the States of Iowa, and Illinois; the hardwood re. gion, embracing Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Southern Michigan; and the northeast region, embracing Penn. sylvania. New York and the Northeastern States. The chief suggestions may be practically summed up ln the accompanying table. In addition to the products of the manure stand, as mentioned in the table, It must be . remembered that thinnings will yield other material such as cordwood and posts. No fig. ures as to the monejtary returns are given. It Is, however, stated, that some lands, even lf planted to "the slower growing species, will show returns equal to lf not greater than those that can be secured from the growing of agricultural crops. Moreover, that the values from timber crops, and the returns from plantations in tbe future may be expected to be greater than those from plantations in the past. ;-���������/ :M X "The School of Certainties i) tlp-to-cjate courses. t ���������:.'..... .. . ������������������"���������"' r ���������"��������� " 7 " " '" " 7 Bright, well ventila- tecj sanitary premises.
