The Art of Forgetting Blot Out as Far as Possible All the Disagreeables of Life If you would increase your happiness and prolong your life, forget your neighbor's faults. Forget the slander you havc heard. Forget the temptations. Forget the faultfindings, and give a little thought lo thc cause which provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends, and remember only the good points which made you fond of them. Forget all personal quarrels or histories you may have heard by accident, and which, if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they arc. Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeables of life; they will come, but they will grow when you remember theui, and the constant thought of thc acts of meanness, or, worse still, malice, will only lend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything disagreeable from yesterday; start out with a clean sheet for today, and write upon it, for sweet memory's sake, only those things which arc lovely and lovable.���Southern Churchman. fr- NEW WAY TO REMOVE SORE, ACHING CORNS Huge Increase in Tonnage of Coal Handled Over C.N.R. Lines in Recent Years The abnormally cold weather during the winter and the difficulties experienced in securing fuel, has intensified interest iu the coal resources of the Dominion. JMany people, for the iirst lime, are searching statistics to ascertain, as exactly as possible, thc extent, value and location of thc coal resources of the nine federated provinces. Tor many years Nova Scotia has been llic premier coal-producing province. And until thc last few years British Columbia was second in thc list. But, railway construction has rendered available a considerable portion of thc vast extent of the coal resources of Alberta, and that province on thc eastern slope of the liockics, has ousted the Pacific coast province from the second position in Canada. 'The greater part of this recent expansion in jiroduction of coal in Alberta has been brought about by the building of lines of tiie Canadian Northern liaihvay. Tlie production in tons: Nova Scotia: 1909, 5.6S:,0S9; 1916, G.8H7JS; Alberta, 1909, 1,994,741; 1916, 4.563,020; British Columbia, 1909, 2,606,127; 1916, 2,582,727. A study of the tonnage carried by the Canadian "Northern during the last few years shows that its development as a coal carrier has been almost entirely due to closer settlement in thc prairie provinces, and to the expansion of the coal mines along its lines in Alberta. In 1910 thc Canadian Northern carried in coal onlv 282,718, and in 1912, 804.803 tons. "By 1914 the total handlings had doubled, the figures being 1,724,337. and for its annual report as of June 30, 1917, it is understood tlie company will show a total production of nearly 2 million Ions of coal handled over its lines. The important position Alberta has occupied in the building tip of this tonnage may bc gathered from the fact that in "1910 thc movement over ils lines in that province was but 81,146 tons. In 1911 it grew to 20-1,730 tons, in 1914, lo 3^,739, in 1915, lo 476,860, in 1916, to 706,414, and in 1917���8 months only of thc year being shown->-tlie figures had already attained to 691,261 tons.

It will surprise most people who have seen these helmets to know that there are no fewer than sixty-four distinct operations necessary in turning' out one of them. The first step is stamping out discs from large sheets of steel. A special machine is used for this purpose, exerting a pressure of 150 tons, and capable of cutting out 5,000 steel discs a day. Each disc is placed tinder a shaping machine, which presses the dise> into the form of a helmet with a broad rim. Polishing and cutting machines remove all irregularities in the helmet, after which it has holes punched in the crown, some, for ventilation purposes, others for fastening on the regimental crest. Each helmet is cleaned and dipped iu a special mixture, which makes it a dull, inconspicuous bluish-grey. A lining and leather chin-straps arc then fastened on, and the helmet is complete. Since the French army has been protected wilh the helmets the mim- Imt of deaths due lo wounds in thc head has decreased to a remarkable cvlriil.

Bad blood is thc cause of headaches and backaches, lumbago and rheumatism, debility and indigestion, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve troubles. It is bad blood that causes disfiguring skin diseases like eczema, and salt rheum, pimples and eruptions. The severity of the trouble indicates how impure the blood is, and it goes always from bad to worse unless steps are promptly taken to enrich aud purify the blood. There is no use trying a different medicine for each disease, for they all come through the one trouble���bad blood. To cure any of these troubles you must get right down to thc root of the trouble in the blood. That is just what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do. They anakc new, rich red blood. They simply purify and enrich thc blood, and the disease disappears. That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured thousands of cases after other medicines had failed. Here is proof of the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to cure. Mrs. M. Stills, who rt'pidcs near the town of Napanee, says: I cannot praise Dr..-Williams' J2ilik__JEillii~,t&o^,hifflilyi---<*-I was very much run down in health, suffered from -frequent spells of indigestion, biliousness,, and sick headache. I had aai almost constant pain in my head and my housework was a source of dread. In fact I felt so miserable that life held but little enjoyment. I was advised to try Dr. Williaans* Pink Pills, which I did, and the result was simply marvellous, and can best be summed up by saying that they made mc fee! like a ncw woman, and fully restored an}' health. 1 would advise every woman and girl who has poor blood, or is run down in health to give these wonderful pills a trial. I am never without them in the house. At the first sign that the blood is out of order take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and note the speedy improvement they make in the appetite, health and spirits. You can get these dealer or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockviile, Ont. To Prevent Fire Losses Saskatchewan Is to Be a Fire-proof Province 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' The old proverb is as applicable lo the problean of fire waste as it is to "scarlet fever, or small pox, or any other disease. Carelessness with fire long ago assumed the proportions of an epidemic in Canada and there are no signs that it is being controlled. In spite of the world shortage of food and the fact that the canpire is fight-, ing for its very life, Canada permits to be burned, millions of dollars worth of food and other vital requirements each year. The problem of greater production is of first importance, but not less important is that of conserving products already in existence. By far, the larger percentage of fires occuring in Canada are the direct result of caa-elessncss, which, in time of war at least, should be punished as a criminal offence. In an effort to stamp out the fire evil in Saskatchewan, the fire commissioner, Mr. Arthur E. Fisher, is carrying out a vigorous campaign to 'make Saskatchewan fireproof.' By means of bulletins, pictures in movie theatres and with the assistance of the press, Mr. Fisher is pointing out thc way to ban the fire fiend from that province. Such work, especially in thc rural sections of Canada's greatest grain-growing province, will doubtless be the means of saving large quantities of food products from the all too common fate of destruction by fire. The effort is a commendable one and should receive hearty support from every organization and from every person who is able to lend a hand.���A.D. Minard's Liniment Relieves gia. Neural- The Health Diet Some Food Facts That are Worth Remembering Remember that milk as a good food, one of the most perfectly balanced foods that we have. It is a cheap< food. You can get as much food in a quart of milk as you can in a pound of lean beefsteak. It contains many valuable salts which you have to have if you are to live aior- mally. Rcmeanbcr that water is also important, both internally and externally. It is important to drink plenty of water because it dilutes our food, improves digestion and helps to keep the blood and tissues in good condition. Remember to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, both between and with meals. Remember that tea and coffee are stimulants and are bad if used to excess, causing nervousness, indigestion, etc. In addition they are particularly bad for children" and are luxuries because they are not food. Remember that cocoa and chocolate are fairly cheap foods and are quite nutritious; these, of course, arc rich, and should be used moderately. Remember to eat at. regular hours and not between aneals. Do not eat too fast, masticate your food well. Remember that dirty,:;', dusty,'fly- specked,, anuch-handlcd food may carry tuberculosis and typhoid fever. . ^ x^_���X-'X - '"'*R"cmcniber'*".o' put covers and screen^ over food to keep out flies and dust. 1 Remember to keep milk covered and cold.

Manitoba Farm Loans Valuable in Connection With Greater Production on the Land From its inception on May 1st, 1917, to December 31st of the same year, thc Manitoba Fa ran Loans Association, lent to farmers of the province $619,500 at six per cent. Additional loans aggregating one anil- lion dollars had also been authorized. The low rate oi interest, together with the easy terms of repayment, in equal sums extending over thirty years, make these loans a boon to farmers, and there are already indications that the service rendered in very valuable in connection with greater production on the laud.

Fair Saliors In Many Foreign Countries Women are Employed as Sailors If a daughter of Britain were to take it into her head that a sailor she would be, and sign on as an A.B., the occurrence would doubtless give rise to considerable, comment and no little surprise. In anaaijr foreign countries, however, the habit of shipping as a sailor is quite popular among the fair sex. Before the outbreak of the war it was computed that altogether there were some three thousand wowen earning their living in this fashion along the wild Breton coast. They must each and every one of them obtain official permission before taking up their hazardous and laborious calling; but thi3 once obtained, they rank, as regards wages aud work, exactly as do the other members of the crew. However ambitious # a Breton may be she can never aspire to the coveted position of skipper, for it is forbidden by law. At Yokohama crews of women arc kept by most of the natives boarding house masters, in readiness lo ship on any tramp coasting steamer that may be in want of hands. Thev do not go aloft, but for all the other work of a steamship, even that ot stoking and trimming, they are said to bc excellent. In their spare lime on shore thcy frequcntly take on a coaling contract, at which laborious occupation, strange though it anay seem, they are rather superior than inferior lo men. Indeed, until quite recently, the world's record for coaling an iron clad was held by a gang of Japanese "sea-women," all of whom were of snaall stature and under 21 yeaa-s of age. Of course, there arc any number of instances on record of women sailing into ports singlehanded when compelled thereto by exceptional circumstances. All thc girls who live on Rhodes Island are skilful mariners and arc, in addition, excellent divers. They are bound to be if they aspire to the dignity of wifehood, for they are not allowed to marry until thev have been on at least three voyages and have brought up a specified number of sponges, each taken from a certain depth. The people of Rhodes Island, it should be explained, all get their living by sponge-fishing. In Norway, Sweden and Finland women are frequently shipped as sailors without any demur being made and do excellently; while an Denmark large numbers of women are employed by thc state as pilots. They go far out to sea an their tiny boats to meet incoming vessels, ancl having nimbly climbed on board and shown their official diplomas, they take charge of the ship in thc usual affably-overbearing manner affected by pilots the world over, and skilfully steer her into port.

NOW RAISES 600 CHICKENS After Being Relieved of Organic Trouble by Lydia ��. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Oregon, 111.���"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for an organic trouble which pulled me down until I could not put my foot to the floor and could scarcely do my work, and as I live on a small farm and raise six hundred chickens every year it made it very hard for me. "I saw the Compound advertised in our paper, and tried it. It has restored my health so I can do all my work And I am so grateful that I am recommending it to my friends."���Mrs. P. M. Alters, R. R. 4, Oregon. III. Only women who have suffered the tortures of such troubles and have dragged along from day to day can realize the relief which this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget&bl* Compound, brought to Mrs. Alters. Women everywhere in Mrs. Alters' condition should p.-ofit by her recommendation, and if there are any complications writs Lydia E. Pinkham's Medicine Co.. Lynn. Mas3., for advice. The result of their 40 years experience is at yoar service. French Strong for Boycott Germany Cannot Live Without Permission of the Allies French opinion is more and anore iuclined to emphasize the enormous value to the allies of lhe economic weapon against Germany. Nearly every day there is a call here for a plain statement from the allies as to the manner in which the economic boycott will be used if Germany persists in prolonging the war. Edmond Laskine, a well-known writer on economics, remarks in Liberie that the allies hold trump cards of which no Ludcndorff or Trotszky can deprive them. "These," lie says, ''are lhe mastery of the auost important world markets and a anonopoly of the most important raw materials. When thc Gcnnan chancellor poses in tlie Reichstag as thc supreme dictator of war and peace, the allies can reply through the voice of their authorities that although Germany anay be master of Rcval and Kiga, the allies are the masters of llie world. "The Germans can pillage and massacre without our permission, but without that permission they cannot live. Germany must be given lo understand- that a resumption c-f normal economic relations depends not only on her accepting the allies' peace terms, but ou the date when she accepts thcan. "So far as German exports arc concerned, the allies ought to -prepare a boycotting system of conditional duration. The Germans ought to be told that if they ajrrcc lo peace within six months their products will I be excluded from thc allies' aiuikcts j for five years only; if the war lasts another year our boycott should continue ten years after the signature of peace, and so forth, it would thus he left to Germany herself lo decide Will Pay Cost of War Great Gain to the World From the Spread of Liquor Prohibition Statiticians and experts in economics arc estimating thc cost of the war, and also, reducing to terms of money certain definite compensating factors. Iir all calculations covering the benefits which will follow thc conflict, the chief item is the great gain to the'world from the spread of liquor prohibition. Such observers as Ferrero, the famous historian, count this one of the great social revolutions' due to the struggle of nations. Estimates differ, of course, as to the actual gain thc change will br^cs --to���mankind. ,..iElisu-��*<��^-^on-- yervatiye^xomptrataO'ais mil iiito~'-ex>f"r lossal figures, While among the uu- canotioaial investigators there are those who assert that, should prohibition be established an the United States during the war, the economic saving froan that source alone, during tlie life of the next generation, will anore than repay the $20,000,000- 000 now voted for war purposes.��� Philadelphia North American.

Very Latest in Stripes The question is often asked: "What is the meaning of the small blue stripes worn on the bottom of the sleeve of some returned men." Perhaps the very latest in stripes is the blue sateen triangular shape ^vorn at the bottom of the left eleeve, and in some cases accompanied by a red one. They are. the shape of the valued N.C.O. stripes and placed with the point downward. They were primarily introduced officially in the British army and then adopted by the Canadians, indicating the number of years the wearer has actually served in France, one for each year. The red stripe meanB that the soldier was on the firing line in 1914, the blue ones show the number of years' service after 1914. : Each strip of gold braid about two inches long placed lengthwise on the cuff represents a time: wounded while on active service. Then there is the good conduct stripe which is rarely won until after two years' service and may almost be compared to an award like the D.C.M. They are not very numerous. The good conduct stripe is exactly the same aB an N. C.O.'e stripe, but it is worn with the point upward on the cuff of; the sleeve about four inches from;the lower edge. '������":��������� AM'ptber bit of stripe information, not generally i known is the fact that non-commissioned officers are not allowed to wear their; one, two or three stripes on both sleeves until they have been on active service.. The wide blue band worn on the upper arm by hundreds ; of veterans is the hospital badge showing that the wearer is under treatment in a military hospital. Not long ago two well-dressed Chinks entered a jewelery store in kelson. WhiL one of them engaged the attention of the proprietor, the other abstracted $900 ���n orth of diamonds from the showcase. Since then no trace of either Chink has been found. One of Editor Ledgk Dear Sir I would like through the medium of The Ledge to call the attention of fehe fanners of the district to the fact that there is an institution thafe desires and requires their assistances and cooperation. All in the district should belong to the "Farmer's Institute" whether he bo a one horse farmer or a wagon road rancher. Haa it not beeu sufficiently demonstrated iu past years that there is strength iu unity; then why do fehe farmers who are the back bone of any country, keep jogging along in the same old rut of individuality. Credit is due to the few members who strive to keep things going, but it ia poor appreciation when they see the non-members partiicpatiug in the privileges that are obtained at no cost or labor to themselves. The privileges aro many and the cost of membership the paltry sum of 81 a year, but the principal object feo be aimed afe, is organization. If the farmers would become organized and educated in a true sense, there is no telling how far they might go towards obtaining a little independence. Let us gefe together aud exchange views at the meetings instead of sitting on the feuco kicking about fehe other fellow in particular and the government in general. I am prepared feo accept membership fee3 at all times either by mail or freight, and all those in bad standing should remember that fehis is 1918. I would'like all the people interested, to know, fehat the Institute is trying an experiment this summer for the eradication of gophers in the form of an open competition. It is a great game for the boys and is open now. The boy bringing the greatest number of gopher's tails to the secretary of the Institute on the first Saturday in Augusfe, will gefe a prize of $8.00, 2nd prize $6.00 and so on. It is expected fehat all prize winners will have afe least 50 tails to brin g in. Of course the prizes are small, bat as I said before, ifc is an experiment, and if ife turns out good, ife will Via finlfwgofl npnn nftvt .-y����.ftr, the main object is to devise ways and means of destroying farmers pests and nuisances which are many, but ife cannot be thoroughly done unless the farmers themselves work in harmony and with honesty of purpose, and the best way to accomplish this is to join the "Greenwood Farmer's Institute." : WM. LAKELAND, . . Secretary. |B. C. Mining News Quandary In the Slocan the Rambler is resuming operations. About 150 miners are working in the Ainsworth camp. Tbe Big Copper shipped a carload of ore to the Granby on Monday. The Granby has invested $250,- 000 in the third loan of Liberty bonds. Leasers are after some of the properties controlled by the Big Tunnel Co. Work is to bc resumed on the Wagner group, iu the Upper Duncan country. Tbe Horn Silver near Keremeos, is shipping every month three carloads of $45 ore. Only about 130 miners are now working in Rossland, principally upon development. Stewart, formerly of the Trail smelter, is the new manager of the Slocan Star at Sandon. The Providence at Greenwood bas installed a gasoline compressor, and machine drills are now being used in that mine. Scott McRae has secured a lease on the Enterprise and Great Hopes, adjoining the Big Copper. He owns a quarter interest in bhe Enterprise, the balance being owned by Mann & McKenzie. The Great Hopes is owned largely by the Pete Larsen estate, aud has been idle for years. It is reported thafe Duucan Mcintosh aud Charles Oliver, made a uett profit of $3000 each on the last carload of silver ore that they shipped from the Bell, near Beaverdell. That carload was one of the richest ever shipped from a B. C. mine, and ife should stimulate mining in this district. The Burnt Basin Mining Co. last Monday put a force of miners to work afe fehe Molly Gibson, under the management of Mr. Houston, an old-timer of Rossland. This property is aboufe four miles from Paulsen and runs high in gold. When the wagon road is finished regular shipments will be made to the Boundary smelters. "Oh, it is easy to forget" You said, and went away. "A woman's heart is meudable, Why, almost any'day!" Of course I must believe it, For all say is true. Yet oh, my dear, my dear, my dear, Whatever shall I do? ' Send them the Home Paper The Dagger of Crema At Crema. in Italy, John Aldington Symonds found a strange crucifix. When a lifcMe knob at the back was pressed the upper and lower parts, of the cross .came asunder, and, he says, "holding the top of the handle, I drew out as from a scabbord a short steel, blade, concealed iu fehe wood behind the agonizing body of Christ.''.' He gives a page or two of historic bloody instances'.sugge-jfead by this sacriligiOus weapon, adding naively: "It is not easy bo think or write of these matters without rhetoric." ; The dagger in th.i ci'uoifi* suggests analogies of wider scope than those mentioned by Mr. Symoadi, which are all of murder masked as piety. There is nofe so much religious hypocrisy as there use to be, for religion is not the temporal asset it use to be. But fehe tribe of/moral counterfeiters is nob extinct. There is love that is biifc the sheath of lust, public service that is the sheath of private graft, org&ns of publicity, which, if you were to press a spring at the back, would be seen to be poison knives of blackmail. There are beautiful women whose hearts are stilletfeos of selfishness. There are friends who need but feo be twisted so and so to become fanged foes.
