One of the last notes of the Germans, which deals with the economic clauses of the treaty, asserts that enforcement of the terms will mean the ruin of Germany. Another note touches on t.'.e Saar valley arrangement, the transfer of German territory to Belgium and the evacuation by Germany of Schleswig. No.protest Is made by Germany to affording reparation for damages to Belgium and northern France, but one of the notes asserts that Germany will not pay for damages on the principle that she was responsible for tho war.

Unlike the reception given tbe Germans on reaching Versailles, that oc- orded the Austrians bad sonic elements of friendliness and courtesy on the part of thc French representative charged with the duty of meeting the visitors. On the face of the leader of tho delegation, Count Ilenner, there was a pleasant smile when be alighted from tbe train, in contrast with tbe stern, set faces of all the Germans when they arrived at Versailles.

GOOD INCOME LOWERS INFANT MORTALITY That babies whose parents are well off have a greater chance of life than those of poorer 'families is shown clearly ley recent studies mado by the United States children's bureau in eight cities. Tn Illustration of the close relations thus existing between infant mortality, and the family Income, a* novel chart, drawn in the form of a thermometer, has been utilized by the bureau in its recently issued annual report. "This chart sums up the results of six years of study of Infant welfare ln its relation to thc earnings of the fathers. Extensive field investigations, based upon interviews with the mothers of nearly 23,000 babies, aro embodied in thc results given. The lowest point touched by the mercury in tho thermoinetor Is at earnings less than $550; the highest at $1250 and over. In the lowest group (earning less than $550) the death rate o£ babies is given at 162.6, or one in every six. lh tho highest group (earning $1250) it Is given at 62.5, dr one in every 16. The decrease In infant mortality n proportion as'tlie family income is Increased toward a decent living wage Is thus made clear. Tho earnings of all these separate groups of workers has probably Increased during thc past two years. But figures recently published by .the;bureau of labor statistics, showing a general increase ln the cost of living, give' no indication, according to the children's bureau report, that the advantage to,infant life can be at this time in proportion to the presumable Increase in father's cash wages. The conclusion is unavoidable," says tha report, "that while poverty exists Infant life will be needlessly wasted."

AMERICA 18 THE MELTING POT OF: NATIONS Through an extensive study of members of some of the oldest* American families, America as the "melting pot of the nations" proves rto be but a convenient expression for writers and orator.1.—merely a picture drawn by those who do not trouble themselves about thc precision of their figures of speech, a myth without foundation of fact. For four years Dr. Ales Hrdiicka. a curator of the division of physical anthropology of the United States National muneum, has had under way r.n investigation of the blending of tbe various types of humanity in America, which, though not yet fully completed, has resulted in the in- i\.'table conclusion thnt the force of heredity is too strong to be radically altered .in a century or two and that we must wait centuries longer In find a typo which will justify the '!.to tcment that America is in reality a "melting pot" of the nations. Dr. Hrdiicka finds that oven the first material that went into the "pot" p:\-a not melted yet. Several hundred members of Ihe old white American stock have been nr'a^urcd most carefully and examined in many ways to find if tho people making up this stock are tending to become alike—if a new subtype of the human race is being former here in America with inter marriage, environment and undor the pressure of outward cu'eumstances. Dr. Hrdiicka finds definitely that, as yet, such hi not the case. His investigation shows that the descendants of the Pilgrim fathers, lho Virginia cavaliers, the Pennsylvania Dutch and the Huguenots, while possibly not as much alike as their ancestors probably ;vero, are vtill far from a real blend.-—Phia- ffolphla Record.

Recommends Daily Use cf Magnesia ' Overcome Trouble, Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion. Gas and wind in the stomach accom panicd by that full, bloated feeling a ter eating are almost certain evldenc of tho presence of excessive hydrc chloric acid in the stomach, creotln so-called "acid indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous In cause too much acid Irritates the del cate lining of tho stomach, often leat ing to gastritis accompanied by seriot stomach ulcers. Food ferments an sours, creating tho distressing g) which distends the stomach and hamp ers the normal functions of the vlti internal organs, often affecting tl heart. It Is the worst of folly to neglei such a serious condition or to trei with ordinary digestive ajds whlc have no neutralizing effect on tl stomach acids. Instead get from an druggist ;t few ounces of Bisuratt Magnesia and take a teaspoonful In quarter glass of water right aftor ea ing. This will drive tho gas, win and bloat, right out of the body, sweet en tho stomach, neutralize the exce* acid and prevent its formation an thero is no sourness or pain. Blsi rated Magnesia (in powder or tabl< form—never liiiuhl or milk) Is harn less to thc stomach, inexpensive to tal and the best form of magnesia f( stomach purposes. It is used by thoi sands of people who enjoy their mea with no more fear of indigestion. Knowledge and timber should be well seasonpd before being put to use. FISH BOILED IN RIVER WHEN OIL BURNS / ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The breakage of ar. oil pipe line in Missouri, lias caused thousands oC fish to die, ce:ttlc to go without water, corn fields io he ruined and general consterna^ tinn in the south central portions of 'lis state along the Missouri'river. 'i'he pipo line carries oil from the Oklahoma and Kansas fields to the refineries In Indiana. It seems to have- a way of breaking at spots. The result is that tho oil seeks the low placefl, gets Into 'the creeks, smothers the fish and keeps the stock from drinking. When tho pipe bursts in a corn fjeld there Is huvoc. Farmers try to burn the o'll off the streams that stock may drink. This burning often cooks the fish, for the fire from, 'oil is fierce. Clay bluffs have been baked lip to a height of 2« feet. In thc end burning does little good, for the sides of the creek are saturated with oil and. the next rise taints the water. Pish In the Missouri river have been tainted by oil and people who buy fresh fish from thohe streams complain of the taste.

In dusty showcases were , old bits of jewelry and ancient notions. The vanished city of Lowell nupi- bered GOOO inhabitants. That was In tho early seventies. It was the end of the railroad, a typical frontier town of those days. It boasted lour hotels, was the county scat, eight or ten big stores, on the lop of one of which was a tower in which a huge lantern swung every night, a veritable beacun for thc freighters "Kit Carson," "Buffalo Bill" and "Wild Bill" were familiar figures, It bad its dance halls and its gambling hells, and hundreds of graves are still -discernible' on the nearby hillside, where'the victims of •shooting affrays were burled.

ANTWERP RECOVERING PRE-WAR DIAMOND TRADi LONDON—Antwerp, which lost its extensive diamond cutting inide whiie It was occupied by the Germans, is rapidly recoveriiyj its place through tho return of thousands of diamond cutters who sought refuge in Kuglund' and Holbml. When th ■ cily fell into; tbo bauds ut the Germans, diamond merchants, brokers, cutters, and polishers fled to England and Holland. Most of them were .lews. They were quickly absorbed in tin* diamond trades of the countries to whieh they fled, ln London they settled at Hsitton-Garden. set up business and quickly became prosperous. With the armistice many of them returned to Antwerp, but others remained, and Ibis finally aroused the Burgomaster of Antwerp, who wanted the industry restored to Us old basis. Tempting offers were made, but masters and men among the .lews declined all offers unless they were recognized us of Jewish nationality instead of as citizens of the countries in which they Were born. The question went beforo the authorities in Brussels and tho demand of the men was granted. It is stated In London that diamond merchants and workers of all nationalities except Germans and German .lews ai'e now to be admitted (o Antwerp, und hundreds of them are hurrying to tbe city. Their former houses aro to be restored to them, and the furnishings and equipment carried off by the Germans ore to be replaced by the authorities. Before the war tbe Saturdny night bont from Harwich to Antwerp was crowded with London brokers aiid merchants, their pockets Tilled with money with which to buy Antwerp diamonds. Sunday and Monday would be given over to 'bargaining, and Monday night would see tho same crowd* on their way back, their pockets filled with diamonds instead of money. It will be several month's before .shipping arrangements Will b'e.such as to permit Antwerp lo entertain buyers In considerable numbers, but diamond authorities are of the opinion that beforo autumn comes the olty will have firmly reestablished Its profitable premier industry.

Spread of Typhus Causes Suspension of Passenger Traffic on the Russian Railroads STOCKHOLM — Passenger traffic on Itussian railroads has ceased ostensibly because of the spread of spotted typhus, but really because because there is a great shortage of fuel, according to I. llassen, the former editor of the Petrograd BJetscb. Thanks to heavy bribing be has Just managed to leavo Petrograd which, he said, was in desperate straits. "At the I'utiloff works, where formerly 15,000 men were employed, only a very few are now to be seen," said Mr. HeHsen to tho Associated Press. "Sabotage prevails. Locomotives cannot be repaired nor constructed. The only one the Bolsheviki have is valued at four million roubles. "In petrograd a piece of firewood costs four rubles, bread 20 rubles a pound, ment 30, sugar 120 and butter the same. Maxim Gorky, the novelist, has ut his disposition 10,000,000 roubles for printing books and sup porting authors and tutors, but ni books can be printed as long a: paper is five roubles a pound. "Why the Bolshevik regime has not fallen puzzles everyone, particularly the Bolsheviki themselves. Time uftor time they have expected their fall an prepared to quit, [jut each time something happened that improved their chances, l^ast autumn when Perm was taken by thc Czechs, when armed forces threatened from the Ukraine nnd the Narva and British warships approached in the Baltic everyone was sure it was the beginning of the end, And then, instead, came the invitation to Princes inlands, "Not even one per cent, of the popuiaiion is in favor of Bolshevism. Bolshevik troops fight without knowing why, but continue for fear of being shoi if they disobey. If given an opportunity they desert at once. An example of this was the action of what was considered a model regiment in Petrograd, The men, 3,000 of them, were sent from their barracks to Ihe railway station to onthiih for the Narva. When the truin arrived there wore just eight men who had obeyed instructions to entrain. "If there is no intervention soon pure anarchy will rule Russia.

THE HUN HASN'T CHANGED A BIT SINCE HE WAS BEATEN. The Germans say that they will willingly pay reparation to Belgium for the damage wrought by their armies, but that they will not do so as Involving the admission of responsibility for starting tho war. It does not much matter, from a practical viewpoint, whether Germany admits its guilt or not. It has been found guilty by the whole civilized world. Everyone knows that Germany,*' started the war. Everyone knows that but for Germany there would have been no war. The point to the German refusal to admit responsibility Is that It proves onco .again that rthc Hun has not changed his nature. He Is the,same old Hun, and but for thc fact that he has been beaten and is for the moment powerless to start another war, he would again be talking of German "superiority," German "kultur" and tlie divine right of thc Eocho to rule tho world. He still believes In all these things. '"Until the German comes out like a man, admits that lio wasTwrong, that his country caused tho war and should make good all the material losses of the allies as far as It Is p'o's- sltilc to do so—until the German does that ho will never win thc respect of the world or thc right to bo regarded '. as a being with ^hom decent, civilized people care to havo relations. JAPAN AND CHINA. China Is raising strong objection to the peace congress' disposition of Klno-chau, which is to be controlled by Japan. Klao-chau in the Chinese province of Shantung was occupied by Germany by forco in November, 1807, and under pressure, China formally ceded it to Germany on a 90-year lease in January, 1898. On the outbreak of thc great war, Japan lent, her aid to tho allies and, after a short selge, took possession of Klao-chau, pending a general settlement at the conclusion of the war. In 1915 nn important agreement fas reached between China and Japan,! which, among other thingn; settled, the rights of Japanese subjects in Soutli Manchuria, strengthened tho hold of Japan over the Han-Yeh-1'ing company and declared that if, after tho' war, Japan was given full disposal ot Kiuo-chau It would ho returned to China, subject to its being opened as a commercial port and to tho eBtoJbJ. llshmcnt of a Japanese concession in the neighborhood. .Now whilo tho great war has been going on in Europe, the northern and southern division of the former Man- ,*).e] empire, torn by civil war, have been borrowing freely from Japan, until, today China has mortgaged a large part of her resources to her neighbor. Tho wur In Europe has left Japan utrongor than ever before in her history. She is relieved from the menacing jealousy of imperial Itussltt, possesses several strategically valuable outposts in the islands taken from Germany, has a full pocket book, a great army and a growing navy, while industry has been increased many-Jold. Japan has solidified her sway over the "Far East. COMMERCE AND ITS VAST jj) IMPORTANCE .*' Urging mutual co-operation. • between government and business, Francis H. Sisson, vice-president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, contends that "commerce is the greatest of ull political interests" and that the United States government must learn that "all great offices of state are occupied ' with commercial affairs." "Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan," he says, "have evidenced due appreciation ot these axioms of statesmanship in their reconstruction programs." He gives a striking review of European trade preparations: — "The peace plans of England, .care- in co-operation with the country*s varied industries, include," he says, "thc. lowering of the costs ot production of its manufacturles; the speeding up of labor; tho cheapening of raw materials by buying in enoj*. mous quantities; nation-sized com' binatlons; thc abolition of wasteful competition among manufacturers; the placing of government funds at tho disposal of producers who co operate; the formation of big and Influential associations of business men; the insurance of credits; the establishment of a commercial intelligence bureau of world-wide scope; the subsidizing of research bureaus for the benefit of manufacturers; the sanctioning of monopolies acong the so-called 'key' products; the development of thc Inner arteries of the Empire; tho lowering of the costs of transportation, and the granting of preferential rates to British goods." Nothing ls moro true than that a proper recognition., of commerce is essential to true statesmanship. Com morco is the life of all nations. Failure in commerce Is fatal. Mr. Sisson continues: "France proposes to lower thc costs of production through standardization and modern methods; to effect an improvement', (n the relation's between capital and labor; to purchase raw materials, cultivate new markets and ship finished products at common expense; to provide assistance to ^production; to reduce imports, and increase exports; to enact liberal legislation ln abolishing administrative restrictions; to initiate vast public works, such ns road building, railroad extensions, dredging rivers, deepening harbors, and building a merchant marine. "Italy's after-war program calls for a protective tariff; the cstab lishment of credit arrangements for foreign business; for tho liberation of new Industries from taxation; for thc construction of canals to convert Rome into a first class port; for the abolition of taxation on certain essential industries and on capital while it is producing; for consular agents to act as thc 'economic eyes' of the nation; and for the cooperation between flnnncial interests and industry. "Japan is preparing to givo government subsidies; immunity from taxation to certain industries; guaranteed dividends to certain subsidized industries; goverrtmetft cooperation with big business interests; large government appropriations for tho developing of essential Industries; the services of trade commissions to make detailed investigations and reports; tho services of a commercial intelligence system; and the Japanese government will insist that trades build for the future."

There factors range from the annual gold supply of Africa to the conditions of thc roads in America. The complexity of thc latter factor Is evident when it Is considered that the coBt of potatoes to thc peoplo of Ottawa depends not alone on the cost of transportation charges," but also on the quantity of potatoes that aro left behind and that do not reach a market owing to tho condition of tho roads leading to Ottawa, says thc Ottawa Journal. Investigators into thc groat spread of ten found between tho price, of, say apples, as paid to tho consumer, invariably run up against the fact that the transportation charges account for tho bulk of it. Clearly, then, to reduce thc cost of hauling, carrying and carting is to reduce tho cost of any product to the consumer. A reduction in the cost of transportation for tho cijmmon road means two things: First, thc farmer, the fruit grower, and tho gardener are encouraged to grow to capacity, to load to cnpaclty, and to ship to capacity; second, waste, criminal at any time, particularly so when millions of people are near starvation, becomes unprofitable as woll. The greatest stimulant to production, to conservation of food, to Its ready marketing and Indeed to national self- sufficiency, is good roads. Thc past two or threo yearB have proven the Immense value ot our highways in con- iunctlon with motor trucks In increasing production. In the United States a movement, known as "Farm to table parcel post" has enlisted thc support of the Post Office department. Last year the postal authorities Instituted in some of tho Eastern states a series of express motor truck poBtal routes, Ihe effect of which was to make moro direct and speedy the transit of food by United States parcel post from farm to city market or to consumer, and tho; return of urban goods to thc producer. This movement has proved eo bo a great success from a standpoint of the city dweller, the country producer, and also the postal authorities. At a meeting, of the highway transport committee of the council of National defense, held ln September last, Mr. Hoover, the well-known American food administrator, pointed out lhat with motor express lines the farmer need not maintain as many draft animals and that horses that cat theji crops of millions ot acres might be largely dispensed with and tho land used to ralso food for the people.

The cost of living's mighty high, Thero Isn't any doubt of that; So steaks are things she will not buy Until she has her Easter hat. cording to. conservative estimates made In many states, last year alone tho rural express operators saved thc labor of thousands of men to thc farms. One motor truck operator can in a single day save the time of a dozen farmers In going to a town to buy and sell. Tho capacity of the average horse on an earth road ln thc best of condition on a level is said to be about 3600 pounds, wiillc on a broken stone road It is 6700 pounds. Thc difference is 3100. pounds, almost another' earth road load. The relation 'of llie earth road as against brokon .stone road to tho cost of living is patent, because too often the second load over the earth road never reaches a market. This view ls supported by thc conclusion of Mr. Hoover, who at thc meeting referred to above, made thc em- phatlo declaration that 50 per cent cf the perishable produce'of Amerien is wasted, largely through Insufficient method of' transport. ■ He expressed his belief 'that a developed rural express system will lead to the establishment of public markets and give us the necessary base of economical success with roultant lower prices. In regard to tho effect of the conditions of roads on haulage costtf, ihe figures of, Professor Caughlari of thc Agricultural and Mechanical College ;of Texas are of Interest. He gives the saving in the cost of hauling effected hy the following classes of improved roads Ih'cetifs per ton miles as: h'arth ot- Sand clay roads, 7% cents; gravel roadB, 10 cents; bituminous macadam, cohcrete,.'6r other expensive pavement, 15 cents. These figures do not take Into consideration the saving in wear and tear on Vehicles, harness, and ani- malc, the undoubtedly great benefit to a community frOm Improved social opportunities,'nor other benefits occurring to anyone. ■ The. value of theso figures Is more apparent in regard to the cost of living as affected by commodities other than those consumed at the table, such as coal and lumber. However, the inter-relation of one object of daily commerce with all the others ls so intimate that all aro affected in some degree by the conditions controlling the cost of producing nnd marketing of a single commodity. A general .system of improved roads tn this country would go far towards solving the problem in almost every home today of ways and means. Obviously, tho establishment of rural motor express lines awaits tho building of satisfactory roads. "First things first'* In thc federal government's reconstruction policy would brook no,delay in making a start. «\ CANINE CONSTABLES. Who has seen a dog-policeman? There is, at any rate, one highly responsible post, which Ib held by a canine member of the force. This dog was taken to the mint when a puppy and has been carefully trained ill his duties. Now he iB a most useful police-dog, and is able to pntrot places Into which a constable could not conveniently penetrate. His leeat is nt the mint, nnd after a certain hour he will not allow anyone within a certain distance, unless they are wearing police uniform. The. service rendered by dogs during the war Is most remarkable, both in helping wounded and in .carrying messages. , On one occasion a lurcher belonging the tho Black Watch carried a map showing a new line and on Important message, arriving at Its destination in twenty-flvo minutes, whereas it would have taken a man three hours—if he arrived at all. Another dog hero was taken to a new headquarters the day before a British attack was to bo made. He had only the afternoon and night In which to learn the'new ground, yet the next day, after going forward with the advancing troops, he returned to the old headquarters With a message, covering two and a half miles over difficult country In elghteen'ininutcs.—Tit-Bits. <•- THE SEA OF LOT.

For many years wo purchased the fine all-wool black French shawls and there was absolutely no competition, because, considering quality of goods, tho French price could not be equalled. However, ono day a German salesman called and offered an article 'Just as good* but at a cheaper price. A. small order wus placed and the goods arrived and were sold. The next time tho salesman called 1 told him that his goods sold readily and asked how hlB houso could afford to sell the shawls at a lower price than tho French, and he replied: 'Well,' you seo it's1 very, simple.

They come ono on each side of the jaw and arrive between the ages of twenty and twenty- flvo yenrs. The naino is given them because it is supposed that when a person has developed physically and mentally to the point whero he has secured theso cwo last teeth ho has arrived at tho age of discretion. It does not necessarily mean that one who has cut his wisdom teeth is wise, but that having lived long enough to grow these, which complete the full set of teeth, tho person has passed sufficient actual years lhat, If ho has done what ho should to fit himself for life, lie should have como by that time at the age of discretion or wisdom. As a mator of fact these teeth grow at about thc same age In people whethOA thoy arc wise or not. -3> RELIEF IN PALESTINE, .—_—. . -§.

Tho scope ot the commission, headed by Dr. John II. Fin- loy, was' extended late in October to cover thc near east, including Palestine, Egypt, Syria and Asia Minor. The suffering brought upon the Holy Land by war is shown by thc fact that a third of the population of Lebanon died of hunger and disease. Epidemics havo raged unchecked.

A REFORMING HELP PROBLEM IN ENGLAND At a recent interview between some unemployed munition workers and a few members of parliament, writes Margaret Bondfield in Women and the Labor Party, thc subject of alternative employment was discussed. "My wife suys she cannot set ser vants," urged an elderly M. P., "wouldn't you like to go back to domestic service?" "No." was the prompt reply, "would you?" And then followed an animated description of pre-wur servitude—long hours—many spent in the dark ill- kept kitchens, unhealthy sleeping rooms, poor pay. the petty tyranny of. little minds, and above all the consciousness of inferior status, which had been endured while they knew no other life, but Which hnd become intolerable after the experience of the greater freedo of factory life. The ex-domestic, who during the war, has worked nt harder, dirtier work In the factory than any cook or housemaid has bad to undertake, who hns worked alternate night and day shifts of twelve hours, who has taken uncomfortable journeys In all kinds of weathers, who hns lived dnngerously in filling factories nnd and In air-raid areas—revolts from the thought of a return to "the shelter of quiet domestic life," as shq knew it before the war. For the majority, paid domestic service is an unregulated, sweated, industry, conducted by ill-trained, unorganized employers and work people. The work of cooking and cleaning, etc., is honorablo, necessary work, and if only the right relationship of mutual service* and equality of statiiH be established, it should provide wor thy employment for a large body | educated women. Thc most urgent reforms appear I be the regulation of the hours of wq to a maximum eight-hour day, and t abolition of living in us a condition! employment; In cases where, for nl ural convenience, board and lodgl Is given by the employer as part pa ment, tbe value of such nccommoc| tlon should be stated In terms money, to enable the worker to col pare it with charge's fcr aecommodatf outside tbo house. Another necessary condition is til in her own time the worker's right! privacy and non-interference must I respected. Such a program involve! radical change of attitude on the p| of the average mistress. Thc ringing hubfi must be broken. Hunr enorgy must not be wasted In runnl up and down stairs in obedience to f whims and fancies of idlers.

These found a ready sale. A filet lace table center, made liy Mr*. K D Morel] of Marbleuead, end donated by Mrs. A. ('houueUo, was won by ticket 191.

FLIES CANNOT EXIST WHERE THERE IS CLEANLINESS "Notice of arrivals of guests; Mr. Common House Ply, well known throughout the country as the'head of the largest disease trust In operation, ha* arrived. He came fully equipped to carry on his entire summer campaign, and in spile of the efforts of many sanitary leagues which are warring against him, told reporters that he expected a successful season." This might well be an actual news notice. At least one solitary fly has emerged during thc few warm days, and has been seen to stagger dizzily about the house. One fly is as good as a hundred. "Xo dirt, no flies." i* a better slogan than "Swat the fly." The first is preventive, the second remedial. It is a positive fact that if there were no unsanitary condition* there would be no flies. This is proved In muny regions uninhabited by human beings, who have never imposed the contaminating influence of their civilization. ' So it Is the duty of every ono of* us to cooperate in thc fullest measure in the clean up campaign in augurated by thc civic authorities this week, The fly cannot live unless he has something to feed on. He thrives upon manure, garbage, etc Then he car ries this pollution to clean food, milk children and adults, especially those who arc sick or in a stato of low vitality. Screens may cost money, but they aro cheap when compared to doctors' bills and sickness. It i* lime now to be thinking of the complete screening of your home. If it is a permanent home have all-over made screens on the" main windows. If it is only rented home see that, tlie sereens fit as well as the little adjustable screens can. If there Is a baby It is time lo buy ten yards of white barred mosquito netting und be ready for the warm days when the carriage must be covered. Do not allow decaying matter of any kind about or near the premises, If there ls a stable near your home make sure that its refuse is disposed of rapidly and thorduglily, It will soon be time for you fo Insist that dealers screen their foods—especially bread, meat and fresh vegetables, Don't think ybu have finished your spring housecleanlng when you have cleaned the house, but neglected the cellar or yard or barn, where there is a pile of bedding, refuse, straw or similar material which may ferment and cause pollution. Cover all foods after a meal. Keep garbage cans in perfect cdiiflition, sprinKle daily with chloride of lime. Lawyer Finds Much to Delight Him During Trip Through Koote- nay-Boundary Country.

WORLD'S FAMOUS JEWELS Although the blue and white diamond weighing 388'/i carats, recently discovered .In the .Higcrsfontein mine, is an extraordinary jewel, It has broken no records. The present discovery, in fact, is small ln comparison wllh famous gems such aa llie Culflnan, Koh-I-nor, Excelsior and Regent. .More, however, depends tor value em color than em size., and the latest slbne, being described as of soft blue and white, Is likely to lank high as a valuable find. As an Instance may be mentioned the Porter-Rhodes gem, found in 1880, Which was valued at £200,000, though it weighed only 150 carats— less than hair the weight of this one.. The weights of some famous diamonds are here given for comparison: Culllniin, 3,032 carats; Excelsior, SCO carats; Kdh-i-'nor, 800 carats; Dti- tnitspan. .|42l,*e carats: Regent, 410 carats. The Ctillinan iliuimmel was eait Into levee—one weighing r,e0t£ carats and tin- either 300 carats—the gems being presente'd to the king, and are new aiming the Crown Jewels. | THE WEATHER.

DEEP CULTIVATION OF LAND FOR ROOT CROP In following a short rotation, in which thc sod is not likely to be come very strongly established, th-ero s not much difficulty in securing a satisfactory decomposition of tho vegetable matter if Full plowing is practised and, as a result, the deep working of tho subsoil, which can only he accomplished by the use of the sub-soil plow or the stiff- tooth cultivator, Is too often neglected. More general use of the old- fashoned stiff-tooth cultivator in preparing fields broken out of sod for the first crop in the rotation should be adopted by farmers who have of late years formed the habit of placir„g too great reliance, on the disk harrow for working their land, with the result thnt the seed bed for roots especially suffers for lack of sufficient depth.

Had Hacking Cough Couldn't Sleep Nights Hacking coughs are very wearing on the Bystem. The constant coughing disturbs the rest and keeps the lungs and bronchial tubes in un irritated and Inflamed condition. Don't neglect the hacking cough. You can get rid of it with a few doses of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup; tho most prompt, pleasant and perfect cough remedy known. Misa Catherine M, McLean, Craik, Sask., writes: "L-ast winter l caught a heavy cold and was laid up for some time. I had such a hacking cough I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't think I would get over It. One day a friend dropped in to see me and was surprised to see how bad my cough was. She advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. The next day I dent for a bottle, and 1 soon got relief and by the time I had taken two bottles my cough was all gone and now I am able to do my own work again. I don't think there Is anything to equal it." There are plenty of "pine preparations" on the market trying to live on the reputation of "Dr. Wood's" The genuine is put up In a yellow wrapper, three pine trees the trade mark, price 2fic and 50c a bottle. Put up only by The T. Mllburn Co., Limit ed, Toronto, Out. of their constancy, and of good luck, too, At the floral games iu Toulouse, Prance, the prize given tho best poem writer, at tho first celebration ln 11123, was a golden violet. During Napoleon's imprisonment on Elba his followers woro llie violet as a secret badge of constancy to him. Much of their jewelry was violet tinted also. As he had predicted, ho returned when the violets were in full bloom, and great bunches nf the blue beauties were showered upon him by his faithful adlierenls, hoping that they would bring good luck to him and to their cause. In this world of strife a man must be an anvil or a hammer. NOTICE. He Olaf Olsen (Dunvold), Deceased.

The design of the new uniforms is smarter than anything yet worn ny nervico women. The helmet will be lower than that worn by a polieemsin, but will have the same badge, The uniform will huve the regulation licit and buttons, the skirt will be nf serviceable length, and high boots will lie worn. The force when complete will consist or a su- perintendem, :isslstitnt. superintendent, 10 sergeants and 3 00 policewomen, They are not to have? the power of arrest, but will concern hi te on preventive work, The general procedure is this: A policewoman sees a girl behaving in an Indiscreet and provocative manner, and has a kindly talk with her, which very often is quite effective. A second talk, if necessary, is of a cautionary character. The girl's name and address1 are taken down in the patrol book, and if later on the policewoman has to take action this record may bo referred to. It is pointed out that if the policewoman had the power to arrest she would have tb exercise that power on occasions where she now finds a caution qulie enough. Air, and' Mrs. A.

But, according to Sir Montague Bur low, M.P., ope of the heads of South by's of London, they will find no evidence of n, general desire to sell. "We are always selling collections," said Sir Montague, "but some dealers say they cannot get a sufficiency to meet the demand. "It ls true there will be many sales in London during the summer, but these will in many cases be of cnllee tlons Whose owners died daring the war. Executors have thought It ad vlsable not to sell until now. "Now is the ideal time for anyone wishing to sell a good collection to come forward, as prices are ruling very high. "Only recently Lord Mostyn's collection of early plays in 364 lots, realized $200,000 during a two-days' sale, tho largest amount that has evel- been realized for a collection of this kind.

The voracious wild pigeon eats nearly its own weight in food every day and is a. serious menace to farm crops. Any,good it may do in destroying noxious insects and weeds ls in no sort of proportion to the barm it will do. Considering the food problem, Londoners may well be startled at the fact that the number of mice ln the city has Increased by 25 por cent, since the outbreak of war. Mice work untold harm in the granaries and warehouses where food Is stored. They need to be kept down, for th6y ai*e prolific breeders. In one year a pair of mice may be responsible for a thousand descendants. Every man should be his own Pied Piper today. Then take Mr. Reynard. He puts the stopper' on any great development of poultry farming in all the southern shires. Sussex, for Instance, is particularly well 'adapted to poultry forming, but the existence of Reynard In large numbers forbids big ventures. We rid our country of tho wolf,and the badger ls growing extinct, yet we allow the fox to flourish for the sake of sport, then cty out that eggs In war tlme^aro prohibitive in price. jAlany birds, as everybody knows, aro our best friends,, because they cat up the Insect life that would otherwise make .It Impossible for man to exist on the face of the globe.
