Sir Sam may have many failings, but he has done more for the empire in the matter of getting a big army together than any oilier man in Canada could have done at that time. The attempt to belittle his services to the empire and his organization ability is a piece of flagrant iugratitude.

Mr. Winn dealt more particularly with the practical working of the Act. -Notify employer immediately after accident; see doctor and have him send report to board; you cannot change doctors without consent of Board; if off work more than three days send Board your claim form promptly,^ doctor required by law to assist you in completing your claim without charge; any act which retards recovery jeopardizes your claim; no compensation allowed when'arising, out of and in the course of your employment.

Such a course was to be expected from railway officials, but that the railway inspector, an employee of the government, should be a party to such a subterfuge is difficult to believe. The railway inspector "should visit " communities interested, without a bodyguard of railway! officials, who aro paid to place the company's interests in the best possible light, regardless of public necessities. The French-Canadian. It.has frequently been pointed out that French-Canadians en listed fairly well in all provinces except* Quebec. A French-Canadian member from New Brunswick, Mr. Robi- doux, voted for the Military Service Bill: the only French- Conservative member iu Ontario, Dr. Chabot, spoke for the bill and would have vottd for it were he not paired with Hon." Dr. Belaud, now a prisoner of war in Germany. He was urged to vote anyway on the ground that Dr. Behind himself would vote for it were he here; but he respected the pair'" he made. The only French-Canadian member from Saskatchewan, a :* Liberal, Mr. Champagne, voted for the bill. This all indicates that the trouble is with Quebec province, rather than with the French-Canadiau as such. Removed from., the Quebec environment, the French-Canadian appears "to better advantage. :il i mii-iiiiiiiuiiiiiitiimnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisiiiiiiitiiiniliil mm ���������*^?IlW^^T'!-! ���������������������������"?'"*',"���������'"ij^^T^^*-1"^! ��������� *, i I'HE GAZETTE.

Mr. Duff tells of his illness and cure as follows: "About four years ago I was attacked with la grippe which left'me in a condition difficult to describe. I was attacked with general weakness, and a constant dull pain in the stomach. I became so weak that I coulej. not' walk a hundred yards without sitting clown to rest. The food 1 ate continually soured on my stomach. A[y nerves "were all gone, anel palpitation of the heart and a fluttering sensation all through juy chest, especially at night was almost unbearable.

Enormous business had to be* handled with a serious shey-rtagc of i cars, while the cost of material was rising by leaps and bounds; fuel and wages were increasing, and labor wa; scarce and less efficient.

The Statist alludes further to ihe; great improvement in train and car-1 ioaci statistics and to the increased, economy shown by Hie conducting transportation ratio. It thinks that notwithstanding the advancing costs, the *net earnings and profits for 1917 will compare favorably with those for 1916, and that there is every likelihood that the growth of the company's activities will proyc as wonderful in the future as in the past.

"May wc not hope," he asked, "that after the war a livelier interest will be: taken in the young nations of the great Jirilish Commonwealth?" No statesman or party who do not feel that in the policy of the future the Imperial interest must have a place which it never yet has hacl will (iud themselves in touch with national feeling.

Thcse_ seven men who matter are ".the prime minister, David Lloyd Geofgc; the money minister, Andrew Bo liar Law; the labor minister, Arthur Henderson; the two empire ministers, Lord Curzou and 'Lord Milncr, and. two fighting chiefs, .Sir John Jellicoc and Sir William Robertson. They sit in a plain room, behind a dingy front, in one of the shortest unci greyest little streets in England. In a room at No. 10 Downing street, the brain of the British war executive is constantly at work. There is the war brain of the Russian, troops over in Petrograd; there is the war brain of France in Paris; there is the army direction of the mountain fighters of Italy in Rome, tiie city of the seven hills; but this one war direction brain is respected and spoken of as more important than all. Lloyd-George presides, and he, with Bonar Law, Arthur "Henderson, and Lord Curzon and Lord Milncr form the*war cabinet. The other two who make the seven arc Admiral Sir John Jellicoc, of tlie navy and General Sir William Robertson of the army. Adr miral Jellicoc is the first sea lord and naval head of the admiralty; General Robertson is the chief of the imperial staff and military head of the army. 'rile great war brain is well supplied with nerves which link up with the fighting machines all over Europe and across the deserts of Africa and by the borders of the Tigris and the Euphrates, where some of its forces arc fighting close by the ancient siies of Babylon and Nineveh. The seven sit nearly every day in conference; the five sit every day. In both cases ikcy arc able to call in men ,vho know various sections of all the various departments connected -with fighting" on the sea, on the land, or in the air. If the British war cabinet has to consider the striking of a blow in some new theatre of war, the five meet at * No. 10 Downing street. Admiral Jellicoc hurries across from the admiralty, in naval uniform and peak cap and carrying despatch boxcs| General Robertson hurries across Whitehall from the war office. The council is complete. The prime minister, seated at the, head of the table says: "We want to do so and so in such anel such a region.", General Robertson replies that he can spare so many hundreds of thousands of troops to carry out this new- phase of the war. Can they be fed? Instantly, with the ease of a man reaching down a hat from a peg, a profound expert on the rationing of great armies is brought in. "In how many days can you provide the food for say, a quarter of a million of men at such'and such a place, so many hundred miles from any big source of food supply?" Clearly .and quickly the answer is given. ��������� ������ Can that number of men be transported to that place by sea? Admiral Jellicoc looks after that. With his fellow experts at his "beck and call, he informs the cabinet, with marvelous speed how many transports it will require, how many* transport' ships there arc available, how many of-the German submarines have been destroyed in 'that particular region, and what measures are ready to make the voyage of armies across the water almost as safe as a trip on a penny steamer to Kew Gardens on a summer afternoon. ,Are there rifles, ammunition, field grenades, steel rails, tanks, trench timber, leather, iron, copper, explosives and other engines and instruments of war ready in sufficient quantity for the equipment of * such a force? Instantly experts who have spent a lifetime in equipping armies and great masters in the science of ordnance and heads of vast munition factories are called into council. Thus the new blow is decided upon and all is got ready in smoothness and silence behind the scenes. Sometimes decisions made and consultations carried on by the seven are of such profound importance that the enemy would give untold gold to know what goes on in the plain room in Downing street. Sir Douglas Haig and General Nivclle' have been seen at 10 Downing street when nearly the whole world thought they were in Prance. Sir Douglas Haig can be in ihe neighborhood of the trenches in the face'of the enemy at 6 a.m. and in secret conclave with the British war cabinet at 3 p.m. the same afternoon. Not until he has gone-back, and has arirved safely at headquarters in Prance does the government an- hc nouncc iu the daily papers that has been here. The prime minister has been about a quarter of a century in parliament, and has held one great office after another in British cabinets. Bonar Law is reckoned the most trifled debater in parliament, and is now lead- er of the house of commons Lord [a VERY CRITICAL TIME AHEAD FOR THE ALLIES Curzon has been viceroy of India, rftTcr of 200,000,000 or 300,000,000 people. Lord Milner was an expert on taxation and inland revenue before he went out to do imperial work which led to the establishment of the Union of South Africa under British rule. Arthur Henderson became labor ad viser to the government under Mr Asquith; now "he is the labor member of the war cabinet. Admiral Jelilcoe commanded the fleet which secured the safe transport of 7,000,000 by sea. ��������� General Sir William Robertson, chief of the imperial staff, has risen from the lowest rank in the British army to the high position he now holds.

Great Boer. Leader Gives Clear Cut Reason Why South Africa Fights For Britain General- Jan Christian Smuts of South Africa, speaking at an Empire day celebration at Stepney, said: "I am a barbarian 'from the veldt, a Boer who fought for three years against you when you were very wrong indeed-. "However, we have helped to convert you and win you back to the right road of freedom and /liberty, and on that road you are now making the biggest struggle of your whole history. I am fighting with you, and not 1 alone, but thousands of my old companions of the Bocr war. "What has brought these men into the struggle? I do not think it is love of the British Empire. It is that they feel what you all feel���������that the greal - est, the most precious and most spiritual forces of the human race arc at slake. "Either we arc going into the future under the������. drill sergeant on Prussian lines, or'we shall move forward as free men and women. It is not the baalc of the British Isles or the -Bntrslr Umpire, it's the battle of the world. And when success i.s achieved 1 hope wc may be all happy to know that wc fought for lasting peace for mankind-"-and that for centuries wars will not be heard of again on earth." General Smuts said he was much amazed on visiting a certain South African camp to find South Africans who could not speak a word of English. It was difficult for them lo understand words of command. When these difficulties were considered it was truly wonderful to think of the splendid services these men had rendered to the empire. To him, it was a wonderful thing���������English,_ Dutch and South Africans uniting iu order lo lay on the altar the best they could give for the good cause. It was a great privilege to live in such times, and to lake part in this great struggle for humanity. Iu six months time we shall know the best or the worst. The best'will be that, tlie spring summer and early autumn offensive of the Allies will have fatally crushed Germany and made her complete defeat only a matter, of a few weeks; the worst will be that Germany, by averting a heavily punishing battle by systematic retreat, will have deferred the allied hope of victory until a future time not strictly to be defined. What is eminently true is that the progress which the Allies make before the winter rain and snow limit active warfare will prc-detcrminc the duration of the present conflict. In_six mouths' time we shall know the results of the submarine campaign, and how far short of his aim of starving us out the enemy has fallen. Alternatively, we shall know to what extent the Germans have-stemmed the progress of starvation-- in their own midst. The next six months indeed, arc pregnant with tin* fate of Ettrope. ~ The Germans realize the significance of the half year ahead . They feel that what happens then may settle their destiny. History has no more vivid example of a nation fearful of disaster than Germany today, apprehending the probable consequences of the next six months. By every ounce of energy iu her composition Germany will strive to survive the coming spring, summer and autumn. After then the prospect is still dark as ever, for Germany is iu the position of .1 gambler who wastes his entire subsiancr. believing thai if he can only last out long enough his luck is bound' to tnrn."

If the campaign is successful, all is well; if the results falsify his hopes, then, should he be still unbeaten on land, he will have yet another opportunity for a further throw of the dice. Ou the other hand time is no longer on the side of the Allies in tho sense that it was when the Entente powers were mobilizing e their resources. Food and finance now must be taken into consideration, and it is clearly to the Allies' advantage that they should ahcieve their purpose as quickly-as possible. Had the Germans elected to stand on the battered line of thc'Sommc, we could safely, have prophesied victory for the Allies by the end of the year, for Haig- -would have broken their front and routed them,' very much the same as General Maude's .troops routed the Turks on ihe Tigris. The Germans knew what was com* ing for them, and they quit in time. Refusing battle they have delayed the issue, and there is no telling when and where they will stand to meet the assault of the Franco-British armies, or when and where Hindenburjf will use the manoeuvring mass, accumulated from the divisions released by the shortening of his line, and destined to be employed as the last desperate expedient against the Allies . _ But, sooner or later, within the next six months, the Germans will ba brought definitely to bay, and tested iu a battle several times more violent than that which cost them six hundred thousand casualties on the Somme, and, compared to which even Verdun itself may look a mere episode. Some lime before this summer this battle will be fought. Some time before the summer * Germany will be able to calculate to a nicety what new accession of food supplies is available to relieve the hunger of her population. Thereafter, as the weeks creep round, the sign manual of Fate will be written in flaming letters of red over the face of Europe, Everywhere there will be food shortage���������the only difference between Germany and the countries of the Allies being one of degree. We shall be watching whether the starvation of Germany is complete, while she, on her part will be watching* whether her U-boats have destroyed a sufficient number of ships to bring hunger to our doors. Civilization holding its breath, -will have but one thought; Who -will starve first? On Austria and Turkey the seeds of revolution will have been sown, and, about this time, the kaiser should know "whether these allies of his are to be more of a hindrance than a help to him. Bulgaria,which entered the war believing that a victory for the'central powers was only a matter of a few months' time, should, by then, have had .enough of, the fighting* and be ready to quit. If we had the gift of divination and could see six months ahead,, what a. change in the war would meet our gaze! Wc should find' the German either retreating into Belgium, or being steadily bled white on the vaunted- Hindcnburg line, as they were bled white on their two years' prepared line in Picardy. We should see the German leaders viewing, in hopeless fashion, the 1918 winter food prospects, and discontent and rebellion sweeping violently through Austria-Hungary.

The War and Socialism The. war has advanced socialistic; doctrines. It has clone more than all the movements of peace times to rebuff and control and weaken what ihe socialists call the capitalistic element. Nevertheless, the bitterest opponents of the war arc our socialistic leaders. They are less reconciled than the so-called pro-Germans. Why? There is a possible explanation. The agitation of socialistic doctrines provided many men with professions, with livelihood. Their profit was in an established order in which agitation could be continued endlessly. Their profit was disturbed or threatened where agitation had nothing against which;to agitate. The world is moving too fast along their own lines for them' to adjust themselves.

The merits ot the German soldier were his absolute obedience, absolute sacrifice, devotion to ihe King of J':ussia and Kaiser, subservience to his officer in all respects, suppression of his personal initiation���������in fact, perfection as a human machine. These characteristics had.been fully developed in'tlie Prussian soldier; and the natural tendency of the Kaiscrdom of Gei many has been to stamp the Prussian characteristics on the arm- it*-; of all the German states. Prussian barbarism has overlaid German civilization, and the result is German ni'litarism.' There was at one time a real German civilization, for that is the proper meaning of the word "kulttir"; and there was culture in it according to the meaning of the English word. But Prussia has never yet been civilized. Prussians are a bad mixture of Wends, Letts and Goths; they arc not real Germans. Their conversion to Christianity was as late as the thirteenth century, and then it was by the sword. Their rulers have kept them under the law of the sword ever Present It'would be interesting to know who .first tried to niakc some artificial-; device' by means of. which he could , sec ..himself and his surroundings reflected as he had seen them in a lake or pool.

Indeed, it would almost seem that, the greater the scoundrel, the more women can he get to trust him. Can any blackguard get a wife? Is there something about really bad men that appeals in some subtle way to women? Judging by the evidence given in the murder trials of the past few years, there is no limit to the number cither of gullible women or women who are willing to take any risks where marriage is concerned. For instance, a few years ago Whitzoff, a Russian Jew, was convicted of bigamy.

The Prussian soldier is still a serf in spirit, and a savage; and so he can be made a ready instrument for the most barbarous acts of war. Working on this material the iron discipline of Frederick the Great, continued and developed by Bismarck, Mollkc, and their pres- .rnt-day successors, has impressed the nations with the Prussian power of creating a machine pitiless, grinding, destroying, invincible, with perfect organization behind it. And the nations have been afraid of this machine, lis characteristics were seen in China. In the last few years before the war the world came to know some of the rotten features of the German army, the German officer, and . the German soldier. The famous "Captain von Kopenick" will not readily be. forgotten. He was an old cobbler who had not even been a soldier, as he was deformed. But lon- ning an officer's uniform, which was not even complete, he assumed command of a squad of.soldiers whom he met in a street in Berlin, and marched them out to Kopenick, a yilhge eight miles southeast of the capital, where he held up the burgemcister or mayor, and robbed the treasury of the village. The brutal and disgusting conduct of Lieutenant von Forst- ncr, in the neighborhood of Zabern (formerly Saverne) in Alsace-Lorraine, threw a light on the mentality of the German officer. But the greatest exposure of the inner rottenness of the system and its individuals, officers,- non-commissioned officers, and men, was made in the celebrated military novel, "Aus Einer Bilse, published in Germany in 1903, and translated into English under the title, "Life in a Garrison Town." The novel was surpressed in Germany and its author imprisoned. But still the machine kept its reputation. If the German army, as a machine and in its individuals, had been what Germany had led.Europe to believe, victory ought to have followed quickly the invasion of Belgium. But the Belgian soldier, surprised the world by unexpected courage and sacrifice, with every disadvantage to face. He rose to nobility in comparison with the armies of the kaiser. The French soldier soon found that individually he was more than the German's equal. His patriotic self-sacrifice made him strong in defeat as few believed that he could be, and then his innate brilliance as a soldier, the inheritance of centuries, came to the surface again. But the greatest revelation to the world was in the qualities of the British army. Mons, the Aisne and the Marne, followed by the iwo bat- lies of Ypres, destroyed once for all the legend of the national superiority of the Germans as soldiers. One and all they appear as gross materialists; French , Belgians and British appear as idealists���������thei.- inspiration is love of country, love of justice and right; it is a religious in- ipiralion. Their inspiration is still a rsing force, that of the Germans is bpent in the consciousness of failure. The German idea of fighting is to overwhelm by mass; Frenchmen, Belgian and Briton, each desire.- nothing better than to get at the individual Bosche in hand to hand conflict, with bomb or bayonet. So marked is this contrast at the present time that, while the French and British make continuous trench raids with their ordinary forces, the enemy apparently cannot get his rank and file to face this work( and has to employ his special sturmtruppen, or licvc to have been in common; use among the early .Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Some historians say that it; was Praxiteles who.': first taught the use of silver in the making' of mirrors, and; that was about the year 328 B.C. They say, too, that craftsmen of Venice were; the first to make .mirrors of glass. The date assigned is the. beginning of the Fourteenth .Century. These were crude affairs at first, but (soon beautiful "ones were contrived and they became_popular articles of adornment, as well as of use, with the Venetian ladies, who carried them about as they did their fans. / The French, it is generally, conceded, have,led the world in the production of beautiful mirrors; from the beginning of their taking- .up that art, their workmanship has been noted for its l*eauty and delicacy of touch, its... exquisite detail. It has tat the .-mirrors made*, in ing the Seventeenth, and Eighteenth''centuries ."..are the .most beautiful known, both in design1 and in the coloring used in their decora- lion. It became the fashion, during the reign of Louis XIV., to insert mirrored panels into the. walls,-, and these were framed in .'rich, carvings or painted borders, ijust as' the great artists of. the, lime, Fragonard, Bouchet, Watteau, and others drew designs for the exquisite point lace which was being made all over the country by patient beauty-loving pe-asants,- so they decorated the walls above and around these mirrored panels . with their painting's. One of the best.and most striking examples of this use of the mirror as a decorative feature may be seen by the tourist in the famous "Galcrie des," one of the state apartments in the great palace at Versailles Mirror making is believed to have been introduced into England toward the latter part of the Seventeenth Century, and the craftsmen of tliat country are credited with the practical and useful invention of mirrors attached to, or used with, dressing .tables and bureaus. The mirrors made during the colonial period in the United States are highly prized today for their beauty of line and decoration. They were frequently rectangular in shape, long and ��������� narrow, with a small section at the top divided off by a band, like the frame, and adorned with a painted design. Flowers were a favorite motif for such decoration, also ships on billowing waves, or swans in quiet pools Many of these were framed in beau tifully grained mahogany, with a soft dull polish like satin. Another popular style of frame was of wood, painted black and richly adorned with gold in quaint design. The interior decorations of today arc finding mirrors a valuable adjunct in producing the <*ffect desired. For one thing, they help greatly in giving an air of spaciousness to a small apartment. Then, too, placed as they should be, where they will reflect a pleasing picture, they add much to the beauty of their surroundings. For example, one artist achieved a place of delight in a sun parlor, a square room with two sides all of glass, a third consisting'largely of an archway- connecting it with tin: rest of the house, and the fourth a solid wall separating it from other apartments. This solid wall she covered with mirrors in panels. The result was that the sun parlor seemed to be doubled in size, which gave it a welcome air of spacious comfort and, as the mirrored wall looked out upon a lovely garden, it served as a picture as well. men willing to marry him, each of whom he deserted after he had possessed himself of her money! Then, to take another outstanding example, there was Ge'orge Chapman, who was executed in England. This brute had no difficulty in getting three ffirls to marry him, each of whom was, in her turn, foully done to death. "How," people will say, "is a girl to know that a man such as this is a criminal in disguise?" In that case, what becomes of the wonderful "feminine intuition" about which wc have always heard so much? Is it a myth? It is not necessary to search the calendar for proof of these statements. Day after day the police court proceedings show how pitiably easy it is "for the worst kinds of men to deceive women; most of us know of cases among our own private circle. Who among us is not acquainted with at least one woman whpse husband almost since their wedding day, has done nothing but slack about and get drunk, quite content that his wife should slave her ljjfe away in order lo keep him in beer and tobacco. If you look a little deeper you will discover, as a rule, that even when they were engaged he was as often as not out of work, and that he drank "more than was good for him." Yet she swallowed whole all his "hard luck" stories about the difficulty of getting a steady job. And, as to the drink, had he not "promised to reform?" Nor is this sort of thing confined to any one class; you will find it everywhere.

Men Who Start Things It Requires Courage and Perseverance to Attain a Permanent Success Those who start things (cx,cept trouble) arc the valuable sort. It is 'the liait of most of us to "stay put" in a place, whence it requires some strong extraneous force to dislodge us. As we have always lived wc desire to go on living. Custom has us enthralled, .and habit is a chain without a weak link. Jf anybody dares to take the initiative and we approve at last the course proposed we fall in behind the leadership, thankful to know our part is that of following and not of guidance. Wc shrink from responsibility. We hate to decide. We would rather be free to growl and grumble against a "boss" than have the supreme command which means the whole anxious problem on our shoulders 'of keeping a business going by prudent, far- sighted decisions involving a considerable .outlay and the complicated maneuvering _ with many subordinates. The men who start things must take chances. They cannot rust and speculate in a place of safety. Ihcy may not rest nor loiter.

More About Golf The Duke of Connsiught The Duke of Connaught since his return from Canada, has been putting in full time at one or other of the ceremonies with wliich Royalty is associated in this country, and hardly a day passes without his services being in request. One thing I notice is the change in his manner of delivering his speeches. Before going out to Canada he usually read what he had to say from a typewritten paper; but experience in the Dominion has taught him differently. He found that written speeches were impossible when he was expected to say something appropriate at a wayside station, or in a prairie town; and so he began to speak extempore; This habit has been maintained since his return to England, and his speeches have certainly not suffered, either in matter or method, by the change.��������� Westminster Gazette. A Game That Was Played Five Centuries Ago The game of golf, according to the new Encyclopaedia Britannica, goes back at least five centuries, having been portrayed by early Dutch painters. One of the pictures in a Dutch illuminated Book of Hours, now in the British Museum, is a painting of three nreu putting at a hole in the turf as iu modern golf. Although the Duthcmen did play and paint golf, they did not write about it, so there are no records describing the game. Just when Scotland look up golf is unknown, but by 1457 it was al- ie*ady so popular, says the Britannica, that it interfered with the more important pursuit of archery. In May, 1471, .an Act of the Scottish Parliament was passed, forbidding this sport: "Futeball and golfe forbidden. Item, it is'staut and ��������� or- dainit that in na place of the realme there be .usit futeball, golfe, or other sik unprofitable sports '-. . .���������..."'" It is rather curious that this is an edict of King James IV., who later became much attached to the prac tice of the "unprofitable sport"���������not only he but his daughter, Mary Stuart. The Gallant Canadians Praising Immortal Heroism of Maple- Leafs ������at Vimy Ridge On the extreme left the Canadians had the post of honor, for theirs was the chief objective. Canadian annals will not soon know a prouder day. For months they had looked upwards to the crest of the Vimy Ridge, so long a looming and impregnable barrier across the main strategical roads to Belgium. It's slopes were soaked in French blood again and again in 1915, when our allies attacked with immortal heroism. Every foot' upwards made a difference, but without such artillery as we now possess no human efforts could carry the summit. When we took over in this sector we had one nasty knock and lost, some of the trenches which our allies held so hardly gained. We need not ' tell how these heights,' - sown with" machine guns, were furrowed,' laced and enmeshed, tunnelled, "gallaried - and honeycombed with defences which never can be surpassed . for sinister strength and diligent ingenuity. A few weeks ago the task before the Canadians would have seemed impossible. Now the bombardment had made it" manageable given sufficient courage-and grip. Of these the var-hardened troops of the great" Dominion had enough and to spare. Gun-power had pulverized the German works, making a chaos of broken chalk and churned earth. Storming up the ridge from trace 'to trace of the ruined trenches, the Canadians went over everything, capturing masses of Prince Rupprecht's Bavarian*?, haled out of their , dugouts, anel brooming away the rest. By the afternoon the men of the Maple Leaf were at last on the top of the land, looking far and wide over the plain of Douai, which may possibly be tho key of the western war.

By morning the Canadians had. won their Hill 145. They held it against repeated counter-attacks. Their success was complete, and may have very far- reaching consequences.

Perhaps one.of the ^biggest 'problems on the farm is the marketing of 'the produce profitably. It is a phase of farming in which we need help and instruction just as much as in .growing crops or raising live stock, llie laws of supply and demand, the art of selling,-and , the regulation of * prices "need to be . studied just as -much in farming as in mercantile business of any, kind. '' "Marketing is'where the farm women most often fall down. They may raise poultry or-make butter, but if they cannot market their produce ""profitably the most of- their work goes for nothing. In a new country like the west, it is long before staple prices and reliable markets,get estab- , lished; meantime selling and buying are. rather haphazard .'and a real worry to both producer and consum-. er; The problem of the woman far from town 'is different from that of the woman who is within easy reach of .city markets. The'woman in country, places depends' on the country store for-a market. Now the country storekeeper has -his problem just as well as the- farmer's wife, and if we arc ever to get at the root of the ���_ matter we must consider both sides of the question. Take the matter of butter.' How few women really make first-class butter. We all know the woman who keeps her cream-too long before churning, and,-when it turns ' out "nippy", remarks that it is not very good and she will just send it to the store! What can the storekeeper do with it?- He has lb sell it for cooking.butter, because the woman who sent il in may be one of ,his best customers and he cannot afford to offend her by refusing to take it. The loss falls, not on the woman who made this poor butler, however, but on the'other woman who makes good butter that will sell for a price mat can" cover the loss on the bad butter. This woman did not realize that ev- <*ry pound of poor butter sent to the store lowered the price of all the butter to "tlie seller, and raised it all to ihe buyer.- She ought to have -kept the "nippy" butter at home, and the home critics would'not have < been long in voicing their opinions as to quality. That this is a common state of affairs everyone knows. Last ���summer I asked at a' country store if they had any good butter; Ihey said they had not a pound of eatable' butter in the place and they had 'lots of orders they could not fill. Now one thing is certain; as leng-as butter goes to the stores of no uniform good quality, there can be no good prices to the producer. Ihe storekeeper cannot give one woman a better price than her neighbor, for they tell each other, and his life would not be woith living after they tound out. ^ The same can be told of the egg trade. One woman is short an egg to make, out a dozen, and puts in a doubtful one. That one bad egg comes back like a boomerang and hits the price of the whole lot. The women who do business in this style usually demand the highest price. They are unbusinesslike from first to last. The difficulties of getting produce of uniform quality is the main reason for the almost universal movement towards co-operation. With creameries to take the cream dailv, a uniform good quality of butler is produced which will bring a much better price than mixed lots of butter gathered at the stores. The same with egg circles. Where the eggs are gathered legularly every day, they can be sold at better prices with little danger of rotten eggs getting amongst them. Therefore, in country places il seems the very wisest policy to encourage cooperative movements. It-relieves the women-of a good deal of heavy work, makes for better prices, eliminates the selling problem, and relieves the country storekeeper of one of his biggest difficulties. There is also another way in which country districts can co-operate, and that is in producing specialties. In most communities, every one follows his or her own fancy, in choice of stock or poultry, etc. . Consequently when buyers come they find difficulty in getting big enough shipments of any one kind. To illustrate what 1 mean, let me tell you of the experience of the fruit growers in the Okanagan Valley,, B.C. Every settler who went in there started to plant apples of every variety. They did not know much about it, but planted trees of all sorts and kinds. When the trees came into bearings, they were quite discouraged to find that they could not tell the fruit. At last they sent down to Oregon for an expert to come and go over the situation. He was not long in telling them what, was the trouble, for the Oregon folks had gone through the same experience. He advised them to root out their trees and only keep well-known standard apples, and when an order came they could ship several carloads of those sorts instead of mixed cars of 150 different kinds, worth very little. Where he came from they all grew a variety of "Golden Pippin." They rooted out tlie other kinds and now have a ree- ular trade, the Pippins going to England to supply the London market at a price much higher than they could have got for ordinary apples at home.* This was true co-operation. Why not get together; study the markets and possibilities of your district, and whether butler, cheese, or selling cream, will be most profitable, and all centre their energies on promoting what will give the best returns. Keep one kind of poultry, whether for laying or for table fowls, so that when a buyer comes he can fill an order for several crates of the same kind, instead of mixed lots of big and small for which he cannot give a good price. A community organized in this way gets up its name Buyers tell each other, and so a business gets established. " ' Were creameries, egg circle, and poultry-fattening stations established generally, there would result a standard market and standard prices in place of the uncertain prices and haphazard selling, which are the discouragement of most country women today. The disposing of produce near the city is quite different, however. There is a larger market to cater to, and many articles can be sold that the far-off country- woman cannot send in. The city woman likes to get fresh and good country produce a little more moderate than the price asked in, the store, while the country woman is glad to supply when she finds a good customer; but the producer and consumer must get together and understand the situation thoroughly, or efforts in this line will fall -through. A town near New York made a move the other day which helped to bring the people together and which was voted a splendid success. The Secretary of the Board of Commerce interested some of the representative men both in town and country, with the result that they held a festival which they called "The Country and City Get-Together." The country folks brought in all sorts of farm produce to exhibit, while the town folks exhibited the city products. Afterwards there was a dinner, where five hundred sat down, city and country folks together, and then they had an illustrated talk'on "A Square Deal Between .Country Producer and City Consumer." Now this is what is wanted: A Square Deal. What the city woman needs to know is that when the cost of living has gone up so much the prices of farm produce have automatically gone up too, since the high cost of living hits the farmers just as much as the city folks. Eggs that used to pay a fair profit at 30c will not pay a cent of profit this winter at 50c. Even in places like California where egg ranches are by the hundreds, and where the winters are like summer, the eggs have been "60c a dozen this year, even before the tourist season started, anel why? Because grain in the States is just as dear as here, and to get eggs you must feed your hens grain, while the poultry woman here has lo contend with the extreme cold as well. Perhaps some of you may have noticed that the first shipment of eggs from Winnipeg went to Britain the other day��� a million dozen. The wholesale price of eggs iu Britain just now is 4s the dozen, so that it can readily be seen that when there is a market like that calling for an unlimited supply, the prices here are going to soar. Poultry has been high in price too, for the same reason���the high price of feed. Poultry cannot be fattened witliout grain and milk, and these are the most costly things on the farm today. The same with milk and butter; with bran and shorts at $28 and $30 a ton it is impossible that milk and butter'can be pioduced cheaply. So the town folks must not blame the farmer unduly for the high price. Our stumbling block to the city folks is the difference in prices asked by producers. This is a difficult thing to arrange, for some women ask an exorbitant price, while others who have never calculated the cost of production may ask so little that tlrey lose money on every single transaction. This is where we need instruction to be able to calculate what.our produce really costs, so that we can charge a reasonable profit and establish a standard price that would be fair to all. The city woman is rather discouraged by her essays in buying direct from the country folk, and I believe it is principally because people in town do not understand thai if it is hard times in town it is equally hard times in the country. It is well known that one of the principal causes of high prices is the cost of delivery, which in.the end of course, is paid by the consumer. To offset this the Public Market is open and the "Cash, and Carry" system is one of the best features. To the ordinary householder these markets should prove a boon, as they have in other places where the Public Market movement is steadily increasing. There is a limited market just now for extra good products sent by Parcels Post. We are not yet accustomed to the convenience of this method but it is especially suited to producers who have a limited amount' to sell, and to buyers who like the very best and freshest of articles. In the States, where the Parcel Post has been working fpr some years, Postmaster General Burleson issued a statement the other day which should encourage us to use this method of marketing. They had many difficulties at first; getting suitable packages, extremes of heat and cold in transport, apathy of the people, etc., but the Post Office start ed a "Farm to Table by Post" campaign and the success' is splendid The business has increased with leaps and bounds, till now the Post Office has had to instal refrigerator facili- \\ies; even thermotic containers which will keep things either hot or cold for twenty-four hours are being developed. The list of articles that can be sent is increasing, and Parcel Post has evidently filled the long felt want of delivering in the city home what is made in the homes in the country, and is largely helping to reduce the cost of living. Mr. Burlesan says: "Getting together is the secret as it has been the secret of all successful business. The consumer wants the best the market affords at the lowest price, and the producer finds he fares better by selling for 'cash than in trading. Both sides understand each other���neither side should 'demand the whole of the saving." He reports instances where retail city price's were asked by the producer, while the consumer expected to buy ai the lowest co'untry price. When they agree lo share the difference, then a good business can generally be done. The Post Office Issues a bulletin with complete instructions how to pack for the mail, and also supplies a list of producers in all the postal districts.for tho help of city consumers who do not know how to get in touch with the country. Our own Postal authorities here are busy extending the rural system, and on the routes already established there is quite an increasing business In postal packages���eggs, butter, fowls, turkeys, cut of meat etc. All go quite nicely by -mail. The cost is less than express and if our authorities would extend the limit of cheap rate from 20 miles to,' say, 50, there would be a much bigger trade done. I may mention the success of some of my neighbors with the Parcel Post. One woman has-been shipping new laid eggs all winter by mail In January she shipped sixty dozen, mostly for invalids as "one customer told others, and she cannot possibly supply the demand. In summer she sent milk-fed chickens for which she has standing orders, also turkeys. Another woman sent roasts of pork and cuts of beef, sausage, meat, etc. rnd several others shipped eggs. So far there has not been a complaint, which says a great deal for our Postal Service. 1 dare say you all have some experience in the use of Parcel Post these times in sending things to your boys at the front, and have been surprised what you could send, so that you can realize what a simple "method you have rjght at hand to help out your marketing. I may tell you that lately the Post Office in Winnipeg had a shipment of two carloads of mail boxes for the Rural Routes, something like 2,000 boxes, so the possibilities of wider markets are before you. All produce nowadays must be put up in attractive form it if is to command a good price, but the variety of containers now to be had is endless. As a rule they are mono-service, which does away with much trouble and worry over the returning of crocks or cases. A good plan is adopted by people who club together and send orders to the country. This is a capital plan, and in some instances I know of has worked out very satisfactorily. The idea was started in the States by an apple grower who thought that there were possibilities of selling to men in offices, so he started in by putting up nice cartons of picked apples with the motto: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," and delivered them in the offices. This led to other farm stuff being clubbed in the same way. The saving comes in the amount sent, as express charges are less on the bigger quantity, and the produce is easily divided up on arrival. In offices tins has been tried where there arc several employees. One person acts as secretary, collects the orders on a certain day, with the payments, sends them off, and on arrival of the goods distributes them. In only one or two cases have I heard of dissatisfaction but a change was made and another producer gave complete satisfaction. And these little circles are becoming more common. Their motto is "Fresh Goods, and Cash With Order." For those who live on an automobile route there are many chances of disposing of small quantities of produce. Many of the ordinary things on a farm are dainties to the city folks, and there are many inquiries from passers-by, for eggs, butter, cream, buttermilk; chickens, sweet corn, rhubarb and berries when in season. If the use of bulletin boards naming the articles for sale became general much more business could be done in this way. There is also the matter of private customers in town who get in produce by express or delivery. Opinion differs as to this method. In many cases it is unsatisfactory, because the promised supply fails just when it is expected to go on���quality is sometimes not up to standard- difficulties of delivering on set days comes in when the horses happen to be extra busy on the farm. Then there arc difficulties on the other side of collecting payments and getting returned empties sent back, and so on. It is not an uncommon thing too for the country woman to be done out of her goods. I heard of one woman who had fresh eggs sent to her, and after some months wrote to say she would not pay the price, as half the eggs were rotten I Just lately I heard of two cases where clocks of butter had been sent in. One, woman kept her crock iu a damp cellar and said the butter was mouldy and refused to-pay. The other kept hers next a steam pipe and declared her butter went -rancid and she refused to pay. Well, there is a very simple remedy for offenders in both cases. "Cut them out," and stay only with those who deal fairly. While some customers are unsatisfactory, there are others with whom it is a real pleasure to do business; considerate, punctual, and efficient; there is no trouble at all in dealing with them. 1 know of one such, who on receiving poultry sent' in, returned two cents a pound more than the price asked, because the quality was so good, and another gentleman who paid three cents a pound for turkeys more than was asked, for the same reason. Little wonder there is satisfaction on both sides there. It was a pleasure for those buyers to show their appreciation in that way, and the farm woman could not fail to feel pleasure and encouragement, which might show itself in an extra pot-of cream or some other dainty popped in with the ncxt^ order. In trading, as" in any other line of life, we should remember the. Golden Rule: "Do to others as you would be done by"���and many of the present difficulties in' marketing would dirappear. Modern Jews and Their "Holy Land" Jews May Be Established in Palestine Under the Protection of Britain or U.S. The organization of a new "League of the Jewish Youth of America" furnished recently a suitable occasion for a partial recantation by Jacob Schiff of much of what he lias been saying for years against the "Pales- tine-for-the-Jews" movement in the United States. Mr. Schiff is one of the most prominent, most respected, and most influential members of this dispersed race in the wide world, and therefore any modification of his attitude toward this propaganda is full of significance in relation to the events of the clay in the Near East. Though he is by birth a German, he is cosmopolitan in reputation, and is a resident banker in the city of New York. Air. Schiff now declares himself favorable to the establishment of the Jews in Palestine, under conditions that will enable them to make it their own "home land and a great reservoir of "Jewish learning, in which Jewish culture may be furthcied and developed." Obviously, as a means of realizing this ideal, some form of self-government is absolutely necessary, but under the efficient.protection of one or more of the greai world powers, say Great Britain and the United Slates. It is one of the -fortunate outcomes of this kaleidoscopic Arma- ?cddon that the American and British ews can now work in closest cooperation for the future welfare and development of the whole mass-of the Jews of the Dispersion, including those in both Germany and Russia. What the world owes lo them foi their cultural contribution to modern civilization is an undischargeable obligation. A flashlight on this aspect of the situation was afforded by single incident of the New York League meeting: the singing by a young Jewish girl of a solo from the "Elijah" of Mendelssohn, who was himself a German Jew. Favor Compulsion American Radical . Changes Views After Studying English Situation, Norman Hapgood writing io the New York Evening Post, from London, says that "there is no longer and doubt in England that compulsory service is better than a volunteer army," and he adds: "Like many others who began with sympathy for the other way, I have been forced to this conclusion by a study of the situation here." Writing of armies as a bulwark of democracy Mr. Hapgood says: "The French army is the bulwark of the democracy. Every politician in Paris knows that the army won't stand any departure from Kepublican institutions. When the war began many said that France would be a monarchy again before it was ended. They did not understand the new meaning of the democratic army. The rise of the distinguished Frenchman, General J off re, is a conspicuous example of the working of the French system. There is no greater bulwark to a democracy than an army that is made up of the entire population and where privileges for both privates and officers are earned. France was never so safetly democratic as today after nearly three years of war. "The class system in England has been confined mostly to the' early stages of the war. The "expression 'temporary gentleman' which was used by the old aristocracy to apply- to a man who had lisen from the ir.nks to be a commissioned officer and who had, therefore, automatically changed his class, is not as popular as it was a year ago. "The 'T. G.'s' as they are called- with amusing snobbishness, are so numerous that after the i\\ar they will make it hard for the Permanent Gentleman to remain a ruling caste. A commission should mean dignity for any one intelligent enough to obtain one. "In America there are no definite classes, but'favoritism in the giving out of commissions must be avoided. Properly conducted, compulsion _ is the most democratic institution which modern life has evolved. "The underlying democratic feeling in England is stronger now than when the war began. Stiongcr than wc as yet realize in Amciica, and very strong in the army itself. She will emerge from the war a more democratic nation than she went in. There will remain certain foi ins of centralization that aie the result of war, but there will be greater power in the labor class, greater power in women and less class distinction." Feeding Frozen Wheat Interesting Experiment Carried on By G H Hutton at Lacombe Early in December last, two cars of cattle were put on feed at Lacombe one group being fed a ration'of frosted wheat and the second loi receiving oats and barley in equal parts. Each group . received the same weight of well ground grain and hacl access_ to the same class of roughage during the entire, feeding period. It is interesting to note that wheat which was quite badly frozen produced greater gains than were made by the groups receiving oats and barley. No ill effects resulted from the feeding of frosted wheat. Some feeders predicted that this ration would cause excessive scouring but such was not the result as the groups were in equally good condition throughout the test. Had the steers been...of equal weight at the beginning of the experiment, an increased profit in favor of frosted wheat of $3.38 per head would have been- shown. Children end Fly Papers That infants and young children have died from swallowing the poison of fly papers is asserted by the Journal of the Michigan State Medical Society.

I'd the Victory Necessary Attitude of the Enemy Makes an Absolute Victory Necessary The prolongation of the war has increased the necessity of an absolute victory. This' prolongation of the war tends to decrease Ihe horror of, and therefore the reaction against, barbarism. It familiarises the mind (by an illusion) with the idea of an insoluble problem. I have met plenty of men who thought the trenches in front of Noyon, having been filled vith opposing forces for two and a half years, would be so filled in the end. It gives time for old bad habits in government and social" organization, which has bowed to the blast in 1914 and 1915, lo raise their heads again. It adds strength to reiterated asset tions of those germano-phils who foster even among us a mood of "stalemate" and of "terms." It exhausts materially and morally. It does al these things. Bui���far more important���it increases Ihe desire of the enemy to destroy a civilization which he 'cannot attain and increases his practice in the means of destruction. Thcrefoic it compels that ciiilization with every increasing month lo determine more and more upon the absolute elimination of such a menace. Those who saicl in 1914 that the war was a matter ol" life and death were accused by many of rhetorical exaggeration. Today, and for this country especially, under the menace by sea, the formula is patently true. The enemy has, during the pro- gross of the war gradually proceeded step by step to break, one after the other, a series of conventions explicit ;nd implicit, which hacl hithertj limited the action of the belligerents by s*:a and by land. He has not reached the.limit of this process. Either these novel outrages (or at any rate some of them) will be allowed to form precedents or they will not. Whether they will form precedents or no depends, not upon written conventions or the verbal i romises from governments, bull ipon a state of mind in Europe. That* state of mind will be chiefly produced by the-character and-completeness of the victory���which in its turn will very largely depend upon domestic opinion within the entente countries during these few last months which are at hand. That is the capital truth which we must bear in mind/especially here at home.���. Hilairc Belloc, in Land and Water. ill "So you didn't get that political plum from your congressman?"

As these, thoughts flashed through the doctor's mind, the guard hurried up to the doctor's side. "There's help coining from White- bun-*, sir," he said. "They will send carriages to lake the injured back to the cottage hospital there." "This lady is far too bad to be driven any distance," Thornton answered. "We cannot let her die out her in the open, and the rain is coming down now in torrents. We must get her under a roof. But it is impossible to dream of driving her ' back to Whiteburn, quite, quite impossible. We must take her to the nearest house wherever it is; nnd thcrc'is no lime to be lost," he said, ' his gaze leaving the white face of the injured woman to look up into the guard's honest countenance. "House?" The guard shrugged his shoulders. "There's no house hereabouts, sir. Wc always reckon this to be the most desolate bit of our journey. And why the train left the rails here, if it had to leave ihem at all, well " The man ended with another shrug of the shoulders, ?nd iu spite of the surrounding horror Thornton smiled. But the smile instantly faded. "This lady is so badly injured that T sec no chance of saving her," _ he *,aid quickly. "I must get her into shelter of some sort at once." "Then," the guard was beginning, nben again there swept into the doctor's ..mind the remembrance of the lone house on tlie hillside, of the window with its streaming light. Could he by any means get the injured woman as far as that house? Its inmates would not, of course, refuse hospitality in such a terrible emergency as this, but could he by any possibility get her there alive? Once more lie .turned to the guard.

Out of the Night Leslie Fan ant stood in her studio contemplating by the light of the: big lamp beside the fireplace the latest picture she had painted. A fire burnt in the grate, for the woman who siood silently iu tlie great, bare studio liked warmth; it almost seemed a necessary of life to her, and whilst she stood gazing at the picture on the easel, she held out her hands lo the blaze, and shivered. The uiiid swept around the house with weird shriekings and wailinsrs, as if millions of lost spirits were crying on/- for pity; the rain whipped against the window, with a sharp, whistling sound; and across the space of sky visible through the uncurtained panes Leslie could sec the racing clouds. A smile crossed her face���������a curiously hard, vtnmirlhful smile, wliich curved her lips into a sort of sneer. "I like it belter than sunshine," she said aloud; then turned from her contemplation of the tempestuous outside- world to look once more with appraising glances at the painting upon the easel. A low knock sounded on the door which opened slowly and the frightened face-of the little servant maid appeared in the aperture. "Oh! if you please, miss," she stammered. "I never 'card auythink so awful as the wind, it fair frightens me. I dursen't go to bed.. .Oh!., my gawd, listen to the wind! It's like people screamin'." "Can't you go to bed? Stay up then," her mistress responded curtly. "For goodness sake don't stand therewith the door half open. Come in and sit down and hold your tongue." . With a terrified glance at her mistress, who was only a degree less alarming than the storm itself, Minnie slunk into tlie furthest corner of the studio, where she sat down on the extreme edge of a chair, looking the picture of terror, her small scared face turning first to Miss Farrant, then to the big' window whose unaccustomed vastness never failed to have a terrifying effect upon her. Her mistress paid no more he'ed to her than if she had not been there, and for many minutes the silence in the studio was unbroken, save for the roaring of the gale, which, every moment increased in strength. Then, suddenly, the two silent women inside the studio heard the crunch, crunch of heavy feet ou the pathway outside; and at the sound of the slow tramping Minnie gave utterance to a little shriek of fear. "Oh! my gawd, they tramp as it" they was carrying a coffin," she exclaimed, cowering down in her chair. "Whatever is it? Oh! 'whatever is it?" Her mistress looked at her with a scornful laugh. "Who do you suppose would be likely 'to carry coffins up here?" she saicl mockingly. "People don't carry promiscuous coffins about the downs. Do try and stop shaking in that absurd way. Don't be a fool, my good girl. Go and open the front door." " dursen't���������oh, lor, miss, I dursen't go nigh the door," Minnie cried shrinking yet further back against the: wall. "I don't know whatever I'd see out there. .1,dursen't." She had hr.rdly spoken the words when a loud knock echoed through the house, echoed with a certain .wcirdncss ar, if the rooms were strangely empty. The knock drew another scream from Minnie's lips- her mistress glanced; at her and laughed a short, contemptuous laugh, and without speaking a word walked out of the studio, and down the stone passage to the front door. '/This door she rapidly unlocked and unbolted, flinging it wide open, to be nearly swept off her feet by the hurricane of wind that came rioting into the house. Outside on the pathway stood four men, bearing between them au improvised ambulance, on which lay someone wrapped in a dark covering and Minnie's words about the coffin rushed unbidden to Leslie's mind. But before she could speak the foremost of the men said courteously: "I must apologize for invading you in this way. But there has_ been a railway accident in the cutting, and this lady is so badly injured that I dare not take her any distance. I remembered seeing your house as I drove up the lane just now, and I have ventured to bring tlie poor lady here and ask whether you can give icr shelter? Yours -seems lo b; the only house anywhere ncai." "Who arc ycni? Who is she?" The two questions were rapped out sharply, and Guy Thornton peered through the gloom to try and discover what manner of woman she was wlio gave so strange a reply to his appeal. "1 urn Doctor Thornton���������Guy Thornton, of Lous-bury," he answered, "but who the poor thing is I have no idea only, for heaven's sake let us in. She is as bad as she can lie. Will you Ict us carry her into your house nt once?" "I seem to have no ��������� alternative," Leslie said grimly, though she stood back from the door to allow rhc four men to enter with their burden, she gave Guy the impression that she admitted them grudgingly. "Where is the nearest sofa?" Guy asked shortly, ignoring the inhospitable reception of the mistress of the house, and Leslie nodded towards the studio, where a big couch filled up one of the wall spaces. Very gently the four men carried their stretchc*- into the great room and placed it before the fire, when Thornton drew the tarpaulin covering from the injured woman and lifted her upon the couch, where the light of the lamp fell upon her white face and the streaming loveliness of her hair.

Explains Prohibition of Importation Into Great'Britain Minister of Agriculture Prolhero, replying to the British house of commons to questions put to the government on the subject by PI am a i- Greenwood, reviewed the circumstances- which led to prohibition of 'im-.- portation into the United Kingdom' of cattle from Canada. He continued: "Strong representations OO this subject, but" more particularly ' concerning the stigma cast . on Canadian livestock, were made-to me by the Canadian ministers during their recent visit here. Canada disputes the genuineness of the case������ .on which prohibition was originally founded, and without doubt" the Dominion has been almost entirely free from foot aifd mouth disease and pleuro-pncumonia. Canadian feeling,, therefore, resents the imputation of infection. This-prohibition of importation cannot, as J am advised by the chief veterinary officer of the board of agriculture, be justified on the ground of health. -Cattle h������ed and reared in Canada and leaving that country for the first time by- direct shipment to a British port ought not to be excluded under the Diseased Animal Act of 1896. I cannot say whether, or un'der what conditions, Canadian cattle of ihe kind indicated might hereafter be pcrmit- cd to enter this country except foi slaughter at port. When farmers here are being asked to reduce theii livestock, permission is plainly impossible, but "' the prohibition rest*; largely upon ,the agricultural policy of the United Kingdom, rather .than on the risk of disease." .

New Tork.���������Dr. Beck, a New York state eye* specialist, and Dr. Judltins, a Massachusetts lihyblciun, were adked to make a thorough tett of the popular eye remedy, Hon Opto. Their reports were most Interesting. ITere they are: Dr. Beck reports, "When my attention trns first called to the wondeiful eye remedy, Bon Opto. I was Inclined to be skeptical. ,1 make ic n rule to test every new treatment which is brought to my attention. Having specialized in eye work for the past twenty years, I believe I am qualltled to express an intelligent opinion on romcdlog applicable to the eyes.

"When the veil is down the man can sec and even shoot. perlence for fear it will sound incredible. Some of the results I have accomplished tvith Bon Opto not only astonished myself but also other physicians with whom I have talked nbout it. I hare had many individuals who had worn glasses for years for far-slghtcdnoss, near-sightedness, astigmatism and other eye weaknesses, tell me they have dispensed with them through the adoption of the Bon Opto principal. ~Muny eye troubles can bo traced directly to muscular contraction and relaxation euid since Bon Opto method tells how to exercise and develop the eye muscles, it reaches conditions not possible through other means. I advise every thoughtful physician to study Bon Opto principal, give it the same* careful trlul I havo.and there is no doubt In my mind they will come to the conclusion I have, *��������� namely, that the Bon Opto method opens }he door for tho cure of many eye troubles which have heretofore been impossible to cope with.

Another case is* that of a lady.ninety-throe years old. She came to me Trith dull vision and extreme inflammation of the lids' and the conjunctiva was almost raw. After two weeks' use of Bon Opto the lids were absolutely normal nnd her eyes are as bright as .many a girl of sixteen." Dr. *rudklns, Mas-inchiisetts physician, formerly Chief of Clinic** in tho TJuiou Gen- oral Hospital, Boston, Mass., nnd formorly llouse Surgeon nt the New England Eye and Bar Iuflrniary of Portland, "Maine," and medical author for many years, reports: "I have found oculists too prone to operate and opticians too willing to prescribe glasses whilo neglecting tho simple formulas which form tho basis of that wonderful home treatment for eyo troubles, Bon Opto. This, in my opinion, is a remarkablo remedy for the'eure and prevention of many eve disorders.

Bon Opto is hastening the eyeglassless age in bespectacled Boston." ^ Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses and those who wear glasses v. ill be glad to know that according to Dr. Beck nnd Dr. Judkins, theie is real hope and help for them. Many wliose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away."\\ One man says, after using it: "I was almost blind. Could not nee to read nt all. Now I can read everything without my glasses and niy eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a mlraclo to me.'.' A lady who used it says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses but after using ��������� _- this prescription for ID days everything simple in its application that it can be used seems clear. I can read even lino piint nt home by anyone of average intelligence, without glasses." Another w-ho used it in my own practice I have aeeu It btrengtheu ,' says j "I was bothered with eye* strain I DR. JUDKEsS e.iusccl by oven-* orkcel,' tired eyes which induced lieixe headaches. I huvo worn glanses for several years', both for distance and close work and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or tho typewriting on tho machine before me.

I can count tho fluttering leaves on the. trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim green blur tome. I cannot ei-juoss my joy, at what It ha������ done for me-v." ���������'It is believed that thousands who wea**' glasses can now discard them iu a reason"- able time* and multitudes more will be abl������ to strengthen their eyes t>o as to bet spared tho trouble anel oxpenso of ever getting glasses. Dyo troubles of many descriptions may be vcmdeil'ully beucAted by the use o* this prescription nt home. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get a bottlo of Bon Opto tablets.

Before beginning operations the native fills his moulh with water, drawing in the smoke with a gurgling sound and blowing out the water and smoke through a second reed. A poor way of smoking to a white man, but the Kaffirs arc very fond of it. Indifference of Socialists It Is In Demand.���������So great is the demand for Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil that a large factory is kept, continually busy making and bottling it.

I should have thought that any man with a single particle of social justice in his blood v.ould be aflame with wrath against a system which has enslaved men, murdered children and violated women.

Siniilkanieen riding was first formed. During tiio past twenty-five years my interests bavo been largely centered . in Similkameen and particularly so since you chose mc as your representative in 1CJ03. Tt did not require at that time any superior foresight to see that the development of this part of British Columbia depended upon the opening up of the country by goovl roads,trails and hi idges; in the construction of a through raihvay line in the district and the provision oi' good school houses and educational facilities. From the very first year of my election I have worked earnestly and, [ am glad to say, effectively in the interests of Siniiikamecn. Tho satisfactory development of the district since 1903 has also been duo largely to the consideration extended by the pa*?t premiers, Sir liichard McBride,' K. C. M. Gr., and W. J. Bowser, K. C, and to their respective governments, who granted us substantial appropriations for public works and other improvements in our district. The construction oi the two raihvay lines through Similkameen. following many negotiations and unexpected difficulties wliich confronted ir-*, was, I am happy to say. fully carried out. The benefits to our district already resulting from these railways anel the possibilities for the future are well known to you. placed iu the hands of the speaker of the legislature, to become effective at once. There is yet much to be done in the district to hi ing 'set tiers" and capital here. May my -successor be one who merits your full confidence and I trust ho will receive the same degree of support wliich was granted to me. Ju parting, 1 can assure you that though my elutie's at Ottawa will require much of my attention, yet it will always give me particular pleasure to assist Similkameen district in any way within my power. J wish to thank you again for the honor and confidence which you have accorded me for so many years. L." YV. SUATFOHD.

An independent candidate should be run in overy con- stituuncy in the civilized portions of Canada, as a protest against the manipulation of family necessities by corporations and compiiies, and the adulteration of goods iu common use. A dozen good men in the house could accomplish a great deal. If the farmers of Canada were alive to their own interests they could elect at least fifty members. That there will be a federal election tliis year is almost certain. The Liberals in Ontario have expressed faith in tlie leadership and patriotism of Sir. Laurier. The Conservatives in the house have failed to protest against the dismissal of Sam Hughes from the position of minister of militia and the appointment of a parlox chair tidy in his place mary of w hat has been elone. 1 have endeavored to do my duty and it has been a pleasure to serve you because of the unreserved confidence and friendly co-operation which has always been extended to me personally in this district without regard to political animations. This sincere suppoit of the people has stimulated me to work hard, and now, when the larger field in public life is opened, I accept it with a degree of regret "because of the necessity of terminating my relationship as your member of the local legis- Jatuie, though J trust that the future will afford mc equal if not greater opportunities for serving you. 1 take this opportunity of thanking you all for the generoub assi.stance and confidence with which you have constantly honored me as your legislative representative.

One fruit grower, last season, made fpu^ trips a day to the railway station, a total of 144 miles, and carried as high as 72 crates of 11 quarts each on a triy. He couldn't have made.more than one 36-mile trip a day with a team. The Ford soon pays for itself in the time it saves the farmer. With help so scarce, every farmer needs to make use of every farmer needs to make use of every precious minute of his time. To him the Ford car is a real necessity. Indeed, some farmers tell us that it is doubtful if they could carry on their farm work under present labor conditions if it wasn't for the time the Ford saves them. -^ No farmer need be without a Ford. In fact, the averoge farmer could afford one if it were double the price. It is as easy to drive as a horse, three times as fast, and costs less per. mile to run.
