McLeod cii returning from the field was surrounded by the Royalist Dra- goons and trying to make a breach in their ranks foiight so bravely that he killed sixteen Dragoons before he was himself overcome and slain. Thus fell one of the bravest men in the defence of what ho considered his rightful sovereign’s cause.

BANQUET IN ALEXANDER HALL A banquet to the distinguished visi-

tors to coinmemorntc the ordination of Rev. Raoul Rouleau, was given by his parents, Mr. and ^rs. E. Rouleau, in Alexander Hall, on Saturday at high noon, and incliubul among the guests were many of their fellow, English and French citizens. Covers were laid for some tliree hnadroil. Father Rouleau presided and besides Mr. and Mrs. Rou- leau and other members of the family, at the head table wc noticed Revs. Raymond, Marchand, Cabana, Dr. Mc- Rae, Everett, Dnlin, Bougie, Sauve, D. and E. Secours, Mayor Lauriii, Mrs, Laurin, Mr. N. Smith, Green Valley; Mr. and Mrs. J. A. (h Huot, Dr. Geo. and Mrs. Moufette, Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Macdonald.

The table decorations were feathery ’mums, in yellow and white, and the menu prepared and excellently served was a most enjoyable repast and one and all pronounced the function, from every standpoint, the most successful attended in Alexandria in many years, and later took occasion to compliment Mr. and Mrs. Rouleau.

Father Rouleau speaking in- French and English touched the hearts of every one in the well chosen words and impressive manner he thanked his father and mother for the many sacri- fices they had so willingly made in his behalf, and in turn his first pastor. Father Raymond, and Fathers Mar- chand of Ottawa University and Ca- ' bana of St. Augustine’s Seminary for the interest invariably taken in him during those years occupied in his classical and theological courses. All visiting clergy and guests generally shared in his thanks.

The several clergymen who spoke, w'hilo complimenting Fathers Rouleau and Bougie on their attaining the realization of their aspirations, took occasion to vividly bring home to Catholic parents, the need the Church has of priests and exhorted them to encourage their children to the reli- gious vocation.

The Rev. Fatlicrs, on tliis memorable occasion, were the recipients of many appropriate and useful gifts from re- latives and friends and a number of Alexandrians and others, gave tangi- ble expression of their appre- ciation of Father Rouleau, on Sunday evening, in the new St. John Baptiste Hall, in the reading of an address and the presenting the Rev. gentleman with a check of generous proportions.

Graham for his long services to the Liberal Party, and more immediately his splendid work at the League of Nations Assem- bly in Geneva, and the Imperial Con- ference in London, it has been decided to tender him a banquet at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, on Wednes- day, December :12th, at 7 p.m.

All classes of Liberals have received tlic suggestion with the greatest en- thusiasm.

A number of Cabinet Ministers will attend this function and will take part in the program.

Ottawa. Dec. 3.—Four important jxuiits essential to impiovemcnt of Canada’s pLacc in tho export market for ehcese and butter were agreed upon and recommended at the Domin- ion Dairy Conference which concluded hero Saturdaj'. A uniform standard of grading cream for the entire Domin ion was decided upon; that all export butter should be chilled down to at least 25 degrees before being placed on board the ocean steamships was recom- mended; wiring of lids on tho cheese boxes for export was urged, as about ten per cent, of the boxes now shipped have to be repaired at the port of sliipment; it was also decided that no Federal export certificates should be granted for butter under No. 1 grade wliich means that no unpasteurized butter should be allowed to leave this country.

It was pointed out today by Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Minister of Agri- culture, that no additional legislation would be required to carry into effect the recommendations of the Dairy Con- ference, as the amendments to legisla- tion made at the last session are suf- ficient. He emphasized the need of all connected with the dairy industry co-operating to the fullest extent in order to better comjiete in the British market with New' Zealand and Austra- lia.

THE INGLENEUK (By G. Watt Smith M.A.)

In tlie beginning was the Word This is how’ the fourth evangelist

begins his gospel. Unlike Matthew and Luke he has nothing to say about the genealogy of Jesus and nothing to say about his birth. He docs not even say anything about his name. He has ta- ken this very simple term Word to ex- press what Jesus is. In these days we are familiar with the phenomenon of the telephone; we do not need to bo told who is at the other end of the wire if we are acquainted with w'ho- ever has called us. Wo know the word, and in an instant we accommo- date ourselves to what may be com- municated to ns in the light of that knowledge. We do not expect to get quotations of the stock exchange from a neighbour who wants to inform us about some domestic detail of the day. We even form an estimate of a strang- er, as to his cliaraetcr, w'lien w^e first get introduced over the telephone. There is nothing in human life that is so distinctive of us as the word. It has been shaped and formed by forces which date back to remote ancestry, by climate and conditions of duty, by school and race, and no man can use the word of another. The word is the essence of the person.

So John takes this most wonderful thing about any man and makes it the term by which w’c know that the Son of Man is God. God is the Word, the Word is God. Then he lias also traversed the reaches of all history to take ns back to the beginnings of tilings. How full of interest to every intelligent person is the story of the pioneers of our day. The men -who came in with their women folk to make homes in Glengarry have told something about the hardships, the joys and cares they experienced, they were wizards and heroes. But their story, is modern and tame as compared with the older story of how the earth they subdued came to be. Gigantic force shaped it, with rolling sea and moving iceberg, with monster grip of frost and melting powerv of fire. That story was written long before there was a a man to wield a pen. We spell it in the formation of the rocks, the dead figures of fossils which have long been hidden in the archives of the book of tho world. There was no man to wit- ness to it but it is there. The time of it is not without a living interest. Away back through the ages, to the time when the writers of history plac- ed their marks of passing events on tablets of clay, to those remoter times when nature was the only chronicler there is one Presence, for in the begin ning was the word. Even back to the time of the primordial chaos, when the earth was without form and void He was, even when we take our stand in thought at that dateless date and leap out into the untraversed infinity He is. In the beginning, there is no time when He is not. What sublimity in the conception; how it humiliates the noblest and brings us to our deepest and best, when we can do nothing but worship, lost in wonder, love and praise.

Holsleins Capture Principal Prizes

(The Globe) Guelph, Dec. 4.—Once more the Hol-

steiu-Friesiau has demonstrated her superiority over all dairy breeds to produce a large quantity of milk in a short period. At the tlirce-day dairy test in connection with the Provincial Winter Fair here the results give the black and whites the first eight places out of the 41 animals entered. Ayrshires won ninth and tenth award; the best Shorthorn came 14th and the leading Jersey was 17th. There were more Holsteins enterd than othei; breeds, but these animals carried off the bulk of the higher awards.

Springback Snow Jewel, owned by T. H. Dent of W’oodstock, led the con- test, with 248 pounds of milk and slightly over 9% pounds of butterfat. This animal is a three-year-old, and has a record of 30.75 pounds of butter on a seven-day test, and 2872 as a two-year-old. In a year’s test com- pleted just a few days ago she made 950 pounds of butter.

Mr. 'Dent, with his four-year-old Springbank Adelaide Pontiac, won se- cond place in the contest at the fair. Third went to G. T. Castator of Wes- ton on Burkyje Hengerveld May Echo, with 220 pounds of milk and 8.39 pounds fat.

The best AyrsUire in the contest, Craigielea Lady Roma, owned by H. C. Hamill of Markham, made 147 pounds of milk and 7.95 pounds of fat.

Presbytery of Gleegarry This body met in Maxville last Tues-

day. Rev. James Faiilds, tho moder- ator was in the chair and there was a good attendance of members. Most of the business was the nature of routine. It was intimated by Rev. J. A. H.

A Declaration Of Principles

Winnipeg, Dec. 4.—Political inde- pendence is proclaimed by the Cana- dian Council of Agriculture in a “de- claration of principles,” which has been prepared for submission of the various farmers’ Provincial conven- tions within the next two months.

“The Canadian Council of Agricul- ture,” the statement says, “is inde- pendent of all political parties and groups. The principles hereby stated are set forth in the belief that their adoption as the basis of public policy will assist in the establishment of equitable conditions favorable to tho social and economic well-being of tlio agricultural population and will pro- mote the welfare of all the people of Canada.”

There are fourteen points in the de- claration. Number three, headed “condemnation of tho principle of tariff protection,” reads: “The Coun- cil advocates the enactment of a cus- toms tariff based solely on need of the public revenue, the immediate aboli- tion of the tariff on the implements of production, a substantial increase iit the British preference, and a recipro- cal trade agreement with the United States.”

The Council advocates “further de- velopment of the British Empire as a commonwealth of nations, free and equal and governed in accordance British constitutional principles,” and opposes “any attempt to centralize Imperial authority.”

Hearty support of the League of Nations is promised. The Council ad- vocates, as well, rigid economy in public finance; definition of tho fields of Federal and Provincial taxation by agrocment, and collection of public revenue so far as possible by direct taxation “imposed with duo regard to ability to pay and benefit received by tho tax-payer.”

Reform of the Senate on the princi- ple of elective mmbership is support- ed. Proportional representation and the preferential ballot are favored. Other planks in the declaration are :

Retention in public ownership and their utilization for the puj^lic interest of all natural resources; public owner- ship of public utilities; personal nat- uralization of married women; long term loans for farmers to provide “adequate supplies of capital for the agricultural industry,” compulsory publication of election contributions and expenditures, and publication of “the facts of their ownership and control” by all newspapers and period- icals.

It is stated that the Council “will endeavor to create an active publm opinin in favor of these principles and will urge upon any government for the time being-the passage of leg- islation giving effect to them. ’ ’

Of interest To Farmers

The Breod Sow The well-kept brood sow is an asset

on any farm. She will turn the by- products of the farm into ready cash products quickly and profitably.

At the Experimental Farm, at Kap- pan, the eleven Yorkshire sows kept for breeding purposes for 1922 drop- ped seventeen litters w’ithin the year with an average of 11.7 pigs per litter, and raised an average of 9.4 per litter The eleven sows consumed 20,075 pounds of meal at a cost of $32.80 per ton. 3,570 pounds of skim milk ^t $4 per ton, 8,679 pounds roots at $3.27 per ton and were on pasture three months each during the season at a charge of 50c p6r sow per month, mak- ing a total cost for feed of $367.07 or an average cost of $33.37 per sow per year. These sows raised 159 young pigs to six weeks of age at a feed cost of $2.31 per pig. The average market value per pig. at six weeks was $6.25 (selling them as feeders not as pure- breds for breeding purposes, otherwise the value would have been $10 at six weeks) leaving a net profit over feed cost of $3.94 per pig. In other words, the average profit per sow over feed cost was $56.90 or for the eleven sows $625.94. If one wishes to gain profit- able results, the first consideration must bo the selection of the brood sow; ehe should be of correct bacon type, having size along with deep' straight lines, a well-arched back, good full quarters well carried down, strong heart girth, no undue flabbiness about the jowl and from a sow that has pro- duced larged litters. After having made a careful selection, breed to a good boar of the bacon type—provide comfortable quarters, well-lighted and ventilated, also free from dampness

ajul draught. Yards should be provid- ed for all growing stock as exercise is very necessary for them as well as for the mature sow.

At this farm, our brood sows are kept hi hogcabins for at least three- quarters of the year and have yards to run in at all times, as well as small paddocks with green feed such as clov- er for the early spring, oats, peas and vetch and rape for the mid-season and autumn feeding. The sows are turned into these fields for three or four hous each day; in this way, we have not only reduced our cost of maintain- ing the brood sow from 6 to 9 cents per day, but have provided green feed which is most essential to the health of the breeding stock as it supplies lime which is necessary for bone and tissue. Sows that are kept housed -all the time and neavily fed on concen- trates usually produce small litters of pigs weak in bone and with soft flab- by muscles. Brood sows should never be allowed to become over-fat but should be kept in good thriving con- ditions at all times. If comfortable quarters arc provided and the sow well cared for, she will produce two litters a year with an occasional rest, with out impairing her health.

A good reliable feed for brood sows is a slop made up of equal parts of crushed oats, barley and bran or shorts, fed at the rate of from 4 to 7 pounds per day. During the winter months they should have, in addition to the meal, 4 to 6 pounds of roots per day and clover or alfalfa hay to take the place of the green feed fed during the summer. The brood sow must have access ♦to mineral or earthy feeds Sods, which must be stored in a root house, are excellent. Charcoal, soft coal or ashes containing charred wood should be accessible at all times dur- ing the winter or when the sow is in- doors. As a direct addition to the sow’s meal ration the following is sug- gested: Tankage 3 to 5 per cent, of the weight of the mixture, or tankage 3 per cent., bone meal 3 percent. Tlie further addition of 2 per cent, of ground limestone will frequently be of great value. Tankage is valuable, aside from its protein content, in that it contains desireable mineral salts de- rived from animal products; charcoal is high in phosphates and has a highly

Let The MUk Pail Tell The Tale THE milk pail tells the story of

’Well-fed, healthy cows. The top quart in the pail is the profit, and Schumacher Feed will put it there. Schumacher Feed will give a summer milk flow while winter milk prices can be obtained. It produces more milk at a profit. It keeps the cow healthy and vigorous, and gives her a keen appetite. Feed Schumacher Feed this winter. It is a perfectly balanced ration made of milled products of corn, barley, oats and wheat, with linseed meal. Cows eat it greedily, and digest it easily. They don’t “go stale” on it. It is more economical than straight grains. Try it, and see for yourself that Schumacher Feed pays. It will bring your hogs to market at the earliest date, too. It produces good sound flesh.

Poisonino Rats and Mice Every rat causes an annual property

loss of at least $2 on the farm, accord- ing to estimates by government au- thorities. Poisoning with barium car- bonate is suggested by Carlisle Carr, of. the U.S. Biological Survey, as one of the best means of eradicating rats and mice from the farm.

Barium carbonate can be purchased at any drug store. In using it, three types of bait are available, including meats, such as hamburger or fish; cereals,such as bread or rolled oats, and fruits or vegetables- Mix one part of the barium carbonate with four parts of the bait, u.siiig water to moisten the bait, if necessary. Place a teaspoonful of the bait in a piece of paper and set in places frequented by rats and mice. It is a good plan to try all three types of bait and then use the one wliich the rodents find most attractive.

It is necessaiy, of course, to put the bait in such places and at such times that they will not be eaten by poultry or pets.

Clean Milk Too much emphasis cannot be placed

upon the importance of keeping cows clean. If udders and flanks of cows are kept clean and milk utensils are thoroughly washed and scalded, the most important steps in the production of clean, wholesome milk have been taken. The next most imimrtaut step is cooling the milk and holding it at a low temperature until delivered. It has been shown by careful iiivestiga tinn that if a person is clean during the time of milking, preventing for- eign materials of all kinds from get- ting into the milk pail, and the uten sils arc kept clean, a higli grade of milk can be produced.

Many dairymen are clipping the udder and flanks of the cow, as long hairs hold particles of bedding and other material which should be kept out of the milk. It is a simple matter to clip the long hairs from the udder and a clipped udder and flank are eas- ier to clean, should they become soiled

Eevey dairyman can follow these simple rules for the production of dean milk, which are nothing more or less than to keep the cow’s udder and flanks clean, m'ilk with clean hands into clean utensils, and cool the milk immediately after milking. The j)ub- lic will consume more milk and pay a better price for it when assured that it is properly produced.

grace to fhc seed trade, and a serious loss to the growers unfortunate cn- ougli to buy it. We wish at the same time to call attention to the fact that there is reaisonably gV»od root seed available and being sold by some of our seedmen. Some way of regulating our root seed trade so that all of our seedmen would sell only good seed would seem to be in order.

G. P. McROSTIE, Dominion Agrostologist.

Concerning Field Hoot Varieties

(Experimental Farms Note). Now that the season is past for the

harvesting of our field root crops a consideration of what the har- vest lias brought us should be profitable. At the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa we have for tlie past few years been consider- ing not only the total yield of green weight obtained but the amount of dry matter and the genuiness of the variety as well. The consideration of genuiness is what we wish to consider briefly at the present time.

In our attempt to classify field root varieties we have met with some very peculiar mixtures that were sold un- der special, som.etimes fancy, variety names. A year ago we received a package of seed supposed to be of a Yellow Intermediate variety but which produced at least one half small round garden beets. This year we had a variety which gave us one half Swiss Chard. In both of these eases the mixtures were obviously due to the mechanical mixing or varieties in some wareliouse, due very likely to care- lessness on the part of those handling the seed. Whatever the cause of the mixing the fact remains that a fariner buying such seed would suffer a con- siderable loss—and it would seem only fair that there should be some means by which growers who receive such seed could get recompensed for the loss sustained because of sowing it.

A much more general condition than the one previously mentioned is the occurrence of off types in any estab- lished variety. Just how serious such a mixture is from the standpoint of yield of the resulting crop is depend- ent on the character of the off type individuals present. Plants which are oil type in color only do not usually mean a reduction in yield, but plants off shape very frequently do. A sin- gle example will serve to illustrate this point. In a lot of half sugar man- gels grown «t the Central Experimen tal Farm this summer there occurred about thirty per cent., of off shapes and sizes. The half sugar typos and the off types were weighed separately and the dercease in yield due to the oil types figuered on an acre basis, amounted to a little over five tons. There is a special adaption of type of root to .soil and climatic conditions, as for example the Globe or Tankard types of mangels for shallow soils, the Half Long or Long types for very deep open soils, etc. The presence of types, not suited to the soil type in which they are grown, in a variety suited to the soil in question will almost al- ways result in an appreciable loss due to decreased yield.

We may have however, a lot of roots true to varitey name and type, and still giving us a very inferior yield because of weak germination of the seed from which they grew. In com- mon with animals a poor start very of- ten means an ultimate development much below normal. It is very essen- tial therefore to have vigour of ger- mination as well as purity of the re- sulting crop if we are to ‘obtain max imum yields.

What we wish to emphasize is that some root seed sold to the farmers of Canada at the present time is a dis-

Mineral Mixtures and Meat Meals tar Eacon Hogs

The availability of mineral matter for the proper nutrition of hogs is of vital importance* and the normal de- mand for such in the development of frame and also in the functioning of the vital, processes is strikingly appar- ent when such is lacking, more par- ticularly with young growing pigs and brood sows.

The lack of an adequate calcium or phosphorus supply is not immediately apparent, but after a more or less pro- longed period such a deficiency will be manifested by a general debility and lackof tone in the animal and this followed by decreased production.

Of all classes of livestock hogs suf- fere more frequently because of their inability to utilize bulky roughages, these roughages, being a fruitful source from which to draw sufficient mineral constituents to maintain the body re- quirements. The cereal grains arc low in calcium and unless this constituént is supplied from another source such ration may be found unsatisfactory, if used exclusively. The addition of succulent feeds, such as roots, beet pulp, molasses, etc, and also legumin- ous roughages such as clover or alfalfa hay is necessary, because of the miner- al content of these fèeds among other reasons, and such cannot be too strong- ly advocated for'winter feeding and when pasture crops are not available. Milk by-products rank high as sources of mineral matter and are a valuable supplement to the grain ration.

Other sources of mineral matter such as bone meal, meat meal, tank- age, ground limestone, rock phosphate, fish meal, charcoal, etc., are more ex- pensive but valuable ^ sources upon wliich to draw.

The exact amount of these last that should be suppleid has not been defi- nitely determined. With the object of obtaining some information on this matter, therefore, five lots of hogs totalling in all twenty head were fed on a ration composed of ground oats, 2 parts; ground barley, shorts, aud middlings, each 1 part; and oil meal 3 per cent, supplemented with skim- milk, Lot I was used as a check on the other four lots each of which was fed a mineral meal in a selffeeder; Lotll being fed tankage; Lot III, meat meal Lot IV, fish meal; and Lot V, meat and bone meal.

During the first period of 60 days on the above ration the hogs consumed, 5.53 p.e. of tankage, 9.45 p.e. of meat meal, 4.72 p.e. of fish meal aud 3.51 p.e. of meat and bone meal and with the exception of the l»«st lot made, .03 to .1 of a pound greater daily gains per hog than the clieck lot. Lot V made slight ly lower gains than tlie check lot. These results indicate the per cent of these mineral meals which the hogs consumed when fed the above meal ra- tion supplemented with skim-milk. They also indicate that the hogs which were fed these mineral feeds required somewhat less meal to produce a' pound of gain in weight, the check lot requiring 2.29 lbs. the tankage lot 1.94 lbs., the moat meal lot 1.79 lbs. the fish meal 1.96 lbs, and the beef and bone meal lot LS3 lbs., of meal to produce a pound of gain while the milk consumed was 5.38 pounds for the check lot and an average of 4.88 pounds for the mineral-fed lots per pound of gain produced.

Of Interest To Women

Dyeing at Dome Some of us find \t a big drain on our

purses to buy new material for the lit- tle ones' new frocks or suits, at the prices demanded for it; and when the little clothes arc in fairly good coiuli tion, and yet faded, it is the greatest pity to got rid of them. They can really be made to look like new if carefully dyed.

If they are sent to a dyeworks, you will find it quite an expensive job, besides perhaps being kept waiting a very long time. But why not' dye them at home?

Home-dyeing is quite an interesting as well as an economical occupation, and is quite easy, and sure to be sue cessful if a few simple directions are followed.

The dyed article is more likely to be successful it is is re-dipped instead of being dj'ed another colour; this can be done quite well, however, if it is dyed a colour a deeper shade than the original one. Thus, light blue could successfully be dyed purple, or yellow would take a green. Liglit blue might also be turned into a beautiful shade of drab by being dyed, not too deeply, with brown. Always test the dye on a piece of material first.

it is always far better, and generally necessary, not only to soak, but also to boil the articles in the dye. To do this, procure an old zinc bath. Pound up and drop the powder into an old jar, stir- ring it with a clean stick in enough .boiling water to thoroughly dissolve it. Pour this into the bath, and mix with enough water to make the required strength, and let it gradually come to the boil.

Now put the articles to be dyed, keep the dye boiling for ten minutes, and meanwTiile dip the articles in and out of the liquor, especially frequently at first, to make sure they arc evenly coloured, and that there are no folds nor creases in them during the process.

After ten minutes lift the bath off the stove, but let the clothes soak in it for another fifteen minutes. Then rinse them in several baths of clean cold water, but do not wring or squeeze on any account. Hang them out drip- ping to dry, and fasten them to the clothes-line by tapes stiched to the armholes.

These tapes can bo pinned to the line. Be v^cry careful dot not touch or squeeze at ail until they are perfectly dry, when they can be damped and ironed in the usual way, and will be found quite successful. 0

FooDs Thai Don’t Agree -“Eat what is set before you." we

used to be told. Now the doctors say, “Eat what agrees with you, and don’t eat too much."

A writer in the Northwestern Healtli Journal, St. Paul, Minnesota, in speak- ing of foods that poison some jAcople, says :

‘Beans are called the ‘poor man’s beefsteak,’ as they have five times as much nourishment as beef and eight times as much as eggs. However, man is just obstinate enough to consider his stomach first. He knows that beans taken to excess more than once or twice a week, will cause a loss of ap- petite due to the ‘burning’ feeling in the stomach and formation of excess gas that creates the stuffed, belching sensation. This discomfort, this irri*. tant action on the stomach, we find is due to the preselice of an aromatic oil and a bitter alkaloid. To those sus- ceptible to its effect, a small amount causes trouble; to others, a large amount brings discomfort. As an occa- sional part of the diet, beans have their place, but never as a steady part of it, nor as a substitute for meat.

“Nuts are also recommended as sub- stitutes for meat—and again chemical analysis proves that they contain a large amount of protein and fat. Wal- nuts, pecaus, peanuts, hickory-nuts, all have been urged for favor—but so far no race, civilized or barbarous, has ever adopted them as their sole diet. Wc have found, as in beans, that there is an irritant chemical product—in the kernel itself as well as the skin cov- ering it. These cause colic and head- aches caused by disturbance of the di gestion when nuts are taken in ex cess. This is particularly true of chil- dren, who sliould not stuff themselves with peanuts because of their tendency to cause colic and diarrhea. Nuts have a place at the end of a meal. In small quantities after a full meal there is no tendency to liarm.

“Bananas ‘don’t agree’ with some folks, for several reasons. Bananas arc rich in sugar and starch, but the starch is swallowed raw, and so it is hard to digest. Wo don’t get the perfectly ripe banana here in our northern climate. When it is under-ripe, it is indigestible, when over-ripe it is very apt to set up a fermenting process in the stomach.

"The strawberry is a well-known member of this group. Its bad effect doesn't seem to depend on tlie state of health of the individual, or the ripe- ness or soundness of the berry itself. It mfiy come to those eating straw- berry jam, strawberry ice cream or any

Simple CDrisImas Cake Tlie homemaker who has not much

money to spend on Christmas baking may still have delicious Christmas cake based on the “old reliable'" ginger-

No need to learn a new recipe, just make up the usual recipe that always brings forth grateful comments as the hungry family come iu on cold winter nights. Do not forget that because of the molasses it contains gingerbread burns easily and should be cooked in a very moderate oven. Another thing, molasses of today is likely to produce a dark, sticky product unless half the amount called for in older recipes is replaced by sugar or corn syrup.

With the spicy gingerbread as a foundation, a number of variations may be made. For fruit gingerbread stir in one and onc-half cups of chop- ped raisins or currants, or one cup of raisins and one-half cup of cur- rants and two tablespoons of chop- candied orange peel or citron.

Instead of the fruit, add a cup of chopped nuts and sprinkle a few over the top with two tablespoons of granu- lated sugar before making the ginger- bread.

Marshmallow gingerbread maw be made by covering the top after the bread is baked witli even rows of marshmallows cut in halves. Return to the oven for a few minutes to heat the marshmallows and make them puffy. *

Even a ginger layer cake may be made by baking the gingerbread in layers and putting together with a chocolate or white icing. A round ginger layer cake put together with boiled icing and sprinkled with grat- ed cocoanut is unusually delicious. 0 ■ ■

Cut out rounds, make a depression in centres and put in half teaspoon of marmalade, moist- en edges and cover wdth another round, pressing edges well together. Brush with milk, and bake in hot oven. (Nice for afternoon teas.)

Dussian Cream One-third box geletine, tw'o cups

milk, one teaspoon vanilla, four eggs, half cup sugar, hot water. Dissolve the geletine in hot water. Boat yolks of the eggs with the sugar, stir in the milk and make into a custard, using a double boiler. Before removing from the stove mix in the dissolved gele- tine and vanilla. Beat wdiites of the eggs- to ’a stiff froth, strain the cus- tard into them, and stir all together. Pour into small moulds, set aw’ay to cool. Serve very cold, with whipped cream if desired.

The Good Thai is la Cahhage Don’t forget the merits of cabbage

now that fall is here and the crop is being stored. If you didn’t get tired of it you wouldn’t need any other kind of salad all winter for it is rich in the vitamins we must have to be well; has a fine supply of mineral salts, es- pecially the lime that we need for the upkeep of bones and teeth; and also it has the bulk necessary in food to keep off constipation.

If you cook it put it on in plenty of boiling water and leave the lid off the kettle. Cabbage cooked right is as de- licate and fine a dish as there is. It is long, slow cooking in a small amount of water that develops the harmful gases and disagreeable odors. Cooked cabbage loses ^ome of its vitamin and mineral properties but some of these remain while all of the bulk is left.

• The méat shop of F. B. Villeneuve & Son was entered one night last week and quite a large quantity of hams, lard, butter and other edibles were carried off. It is most unfortunate the guilty party or parties will not be ap- prehended. When people have, through industry and the intelligent application of effort, reaped as a re- ward, the accumulation of a certain amount of this world’s goods, it is a crying shame that some low down de- generate without principle enough to make back bone for a jelly fish, and who is too lazy to work, is allowed to rob and steal, and still go unpunished. The whipping post is tho place to mete out punishment.

MR. ALEXANDER A. FRASER We are again reminded that the call

comes to any age, when with the dawning of Tuesday morning, Nov. 27tli, Alexander A. Fraser, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Fraser pas- sed away at th cage of 26 years. Though not enjoying tho best of health for some months it was hoped that through loving care and the best of medical skill, his youthful vigor would be restored, but it was ordered other- mse. The Golden Gates were opened, a gentle voice said Como, and with farewells unspoken, he calmly entered Home.

A consistent member of Maxville Presbyterian Church from his youth and })ossessed of those manly charac- teristics that made of hiin^ a favorite, his early passing is deeply regreted by a large circle of friends.

Besides liis sorrowing parents he leaves to mourn his loss one sister, Mrs. F. McRae, Stillwater, B.C. aud two brothers, James of Zealandia and John of Rosetown, Sask., both of whom arrived home on Friday.

The funeral which was very largely attended took place to Maxville Pres- byterian Church and eemetery, no Sat- urday at 2 o’clock, .the service being cçüduçted by Jhç Rçy, p, M, McLeod ©f Moose Creek, assisted by Rev. W. A. Morrison of Speneerville and Rev. A. McLean.of Dunvegan.

On the casket rested beautiful floral tributes from the Y.M.M.S., of Max- ville, the Misses P. T. McKay, K. M. Campbell and C. A. Kippen, *Montreal and the Ladies’ Aid of Maxville Pres- byterian Church.

The pallbearers were Messrs. R. Mc- Rae, C. McIntosh, W. McEwen, A. Anderson, D. Fraser and J. McKillican.

Among those from a distance at- tending were Miss Flora McKay, Montreal, Mr. Dan Fraser, Mr. James Grant and Mr. Geo. Fraser of Dundee. Que. - '

To Mr. and Mrs. Fraser and family in their sore bereavement the deepest sympathy of their many friends is ex- tended.

ST. ELMO

Last Friday the rain descended all the day and the chances of a fitting celebration of St. Andrew’s Day be- gan to fade in the ranks of tlie Liter- ary Society. But the company turned up in good force, some 50 or 60 being present. The evening was tlie regular social night, which comes once - a month. Games of a purely Scotch character had been arranged and were played, with the feeling that they were strange and new. But after a time the thrill of blood prevailed aud the com- pany played. The provisions for refresh- ments included Haggis, à dish which is quite forgotten even in Scotch households. Mrs. D. D. McGregor had promised to luako an attempt at it aud was very successful.

Clean the Chimneys An ounce of prevention is worth a

pound of cure we are told, aud bear- ing in mind that every winter there have been several fire alarms turned in, bringing out our volunteer brigade, to find the cause a dirty chimney and that at cost of some thirty dollars each time, may we suggest that our muni- cipals fathers insist upon householders cleaning their chimneys forthwith.

Oen’l Cun into Oebi “If all the tears that have been

shed on account of debt could be gathered in one place they would form a Niagara Falls,” says the Kincar- dine Reporter. We wore talking with one of our merchants the other day about collections. He admitted that the money was not coming in as he had expected. The amount of money on his books owed by good people is something that should not be. Many ju'oplc have money in the bank and do not think it wrong to - enter a store and chargé goods. Why should your mon^ lay in the bank and draw three per cent, in- .tcrest while the merchant has to borrow from the bank at thé rûté of j seven per cent, to make payment on ’ the goods be sold you. Did you ima- gine you are saving anything by charging goods? If you do you are mistaken. The merchant has to charge it to someone. That someone is not the cash customer. It is the customer that lets the bills rim. There are two mighty bad habits to get into. One is not paying your debts when you can. The other is running into debt. The latter causes more worry, suffering, heartache, insanity and premature death than any other cause. If you would carry on happily and. success- fully avoid debt and your creditors chasing you up. We know homes that have been broken up because of the running into debt. If you want a beautiful hell on earth go into debt and have your creditors chasing you up. You may become used to it but it never leaves you. 'When you meet those you owe it is the first thing that recurs to your mind. The only way to avoid it is to be fair to yourself aud do without that which you cannot pay for. It may seem hard not to have those things others have and seem to enjoy. Yet you will be the happier of the two, for many have the worry of which we speak.

Chicago, Ills., Dee. 3.—By taking fifteen of twenty-five prize in the hard red spring wheat in the hay and grain division of the twenty-fourth annual international livestock exposi- tion being held at the National Am phitheatre in the Union Stock Yards, Canada established without a doubt a world-wide supremacy in that class.

The first prize in this class is prac- tically assured of the crown for cham- ^on wheat sample of the show. The '«inner was Major H. G. L. Strange, of Fenn, Alberta. Major Strange ex- hibited one- of the finest w'heat samples seen in years.

The second prize went to Boseman, Montana, on C. C. Beiring’s exhibit, but then the Canadians* resumed win- ing and took four of the next five prizes.

O. A. C. STUDENT FIEST. Individual honours in the collegiate

;^(^ng contosty which marked tli,e opening yesterday of the international live stock exposition, went to G. E. Peterson, of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont., according to announcement made tonight. He tal- lied 908 out of a possible 1,000 points. Students representing the Kansas Agricultural College won the team contest, these total of 4,319 points out of a possible 4,800 points being thirteen better than that of the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege team. Ohio State was third. Cat- tle, sheep, swine and horses were jud- ged.

Kansas led the Dominion team by, only thirteen points, which were amas- sed bj^ their excellent showing in the horses, where Ontario placed tliird,. and the fact that Ontario could do no better tlian a sixth in sheep. The final scores were : Kansas, 4,319; Ontario, 4.306; Oliio, 4.255, and Iowa, 4.238.

French Canadians | inter Feeding and Reiurn In Canada Care of Poultrn

Matches and Fire The careless use of matches causes

a number of bad and very expensive fires. It is not uncommon to read of farmers’ barns and other outbuildings being destroyed because some ouc was careless with matches.

A report comes to us from County

That the exodus of French-Cana- diaiis to the United States has stopped, and that the pendulum is now swing- ing in Canada’s favor, was an impor- tant declaration made recently by J. E. Laforce, colonization and immi- gration representative of the Cana- dian National Eailways in Boston. Mr. Laforce wa sin Montreal on busi- ness.

The trend of Franco-Americaii opin- ion is gradually turning towards Can- ada in the opinion of Mr. Laforce, who jiointed out that from April to November no less than 1,100 former French citizens o fthe United States came into Canada by the Canadian National Eailways and are now set- tled ill various parts of the Dominion. While the majority are situated in Quebec, the western provinces and Northern Ontario received their share. In addition to this number five hun-^ dred Franco-Americans have been brought ill for lumbering purposes and have located in sections close to new settlements. It is expected that in the spring many of these will throw in their lot with the new communities, and settle on the land which is being opened up rapidly, particularly in the Abitibi district.

Those portions of the eastern United States which are settled by French largely for their population on Can- ada. These ex-patriated French-Can- ; adians and their descendants have not ; lost sympathy with this country, how- ; ever, is the observation of Mr. La- force and he supports his statement by pointing out that many Franco- Americans arc sending their children to the Province of Quebec for their education. This Fall alone the Can- adian National Eailways brought from the town of Woonsocket, Ehode Is- land, no less than 200 boy and girl students who were placed in colleges and convents in Quebec Province.

Mr. Laforce states that next year may see one of the greatest gather- ings of French-Cauadian societies in the history of the province. Plans are being formulated to that end and every effort is being made to have the conference held either in Mont- real or Quebec. The outcome of such a conference could not but bo bene- ficial to Canada, in the opinion of Mr. Laforce, as it would direct Franco- American attention to-wards this pro- vince in a most forcible manner. 0

League No Pipe Dream Toronto, Dec. 5.—‘‘Only mental ab-

tuseness and an appalling lack of in- formation could permit anyone to think that the League of Nations is a mere pipe dream,” declared Sir George E. Foster, in addressing the Women’s Canadian Club this afternoon. When questions arc asked, such as “Why did the League not take Italy by the scruff of the neck and make her be- have I” and the accusation made that trusting in the League is like whipping up a dead horse, it is time, he said, to explain to tho public the methods and achievements of the League of Nations.

Speaking of the attitude of tho United States toward tho League, Sir George expressed the opinion that in- stead of criticizing them we should pray for them. “Unfortunate politi- cal troubles have been responsible for their aloofness, but nine-tenths of the population are in sympathy with any movement for the abolition of war. If we had had their co-operation from the beginning, there would liave been no distressing problems of the Euhr to- day. But, as the League rests on a basis of inherent common sense, and the prayer for peace is universal, its success is assured if only we support it with a live, aggressive policy,” the speaker concluded. 0

Grading ol Cream Provokes Debate

(Experimental Farms Note.) Good feed and care are necessary

in order to pocure maximum egg pro- duction during the winter months, stock should be comfortably housed and not overcrowded. Allow about four square feet floor space per bird, and see that all cracks and openings at the rear and sides of the house are closed to prevent draughts, otherwise colds are likely to deveop which not only retard production, but often cause the loss of birds. A little permanganate of potash used in the drinking water (enough to give a deep wine color) will help to prevent the spreading of catarrhal colds, but in more serious cases, birds should bo isolated, and treated by washing the eyes, nostrils and throat with a solution of baracic acid.

Cotton used in the open front houses sliould be kept brushed off, and should be opened up on fine days to facili- tate ventilation, this will also prevent the accumulation of moisture, which is more injurious to the health of tho birds than cold. Plenty of clean lit- ter should be provided for scratching purposes. Lice, which are usually pre- sent in certain numbers, should be kept in control. This may be done by dusting the birds with insect powder or by smearing the skin oround the vent with blue ointment about the size of a pea. 'Care should be taken not to smear the feathers with this ointment.

A grain mixture should be fed in the litter morning and evening. Feed at the rate of about one quart per day to ten birds. A mixture consist- ing of equal parts cracked corn, wheat and oats has given splendid satisfac- tion at this Station. Buckwheat or barley may be used to replace the corn, but in such case, only the best oats available should be used in order to reduce the amount of fibre.

A dry mash sliould bo kept in hop- pers before the birds at all times. A mash consisting of 100 pounds wheat bran, 100 pounds middlings, .100 pounds corn meal, 75 pounds ground oats, 15 pounds linseed meal, 3 pounds charcoal and 100 pounds beef scraps will give good results. If skim-miHc, butter- milk or meat is available the beef- scrap may be omitted. A portion of tho above mash may be moistened with skim-milk or water and fed to the birds at noon. Give them what they will eat up clean in a few minutes.

Commercial ready mixed scratch feed and mashes may be fed if so de- sired, but slightly greater gains have been obtained at this Station by feed- ing the home-mixed feed.

Grit, oyster shell and fresh water should be provided at all times, Green feed, such as cabbage, mangels, beets, turnips, clover, sprouted oats and al- falfa should also be provided daily. The latter two may be steamed and fed in the mash, or the leaves may bo fed dry in racks or boxes. A dose of Epsom salts at the rate of one pound per hundred birds, given at intervals of two or three weeks, will help t.* keep tho birds healthy and jlrevenc intestinal disorders.

Profit from hens depends very lar- gely upon winter egg production. Breeding plays an important part in winter production, but in order that the result from breeding may be ob- tained good food and care are neces- sary.

Colli Earth Cellar Rest for Apples

One account dates from the war of 1812, when there lived in Troy, N.Y., a man called Samuel Wilson, commonly referred to as Uncle Sam. His work was to inspect pork aifd beef bought by the government.

Elbert Anderson, a contractor, or- dered several cases to be addressed to tho United States, and signed with his own initials. An employee marked the packages “E.A.—U.S. ” and when asked their meaning, replied, jokingly, that obviously they referred to Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam.

The joke spread, until finally Uncle Sam was understood to stand for the United States.

Roney anil Some Of its Uses

(Experimental Farms Note). Honey consists of sugar about 75

percent., water 18 per cent, and small quantities of mineral matter and other substances such as protein, acid and volatile oils. Practically all honey produced in Canada granulates soon after extracting but this does not af- fect its quality but makes it easier to handle. Granulated honey can be brought back to its liquid form by heating it slowly in a double boiler to a temperature of 155 degrees Fah- renheit, a higher temperature than this darkens the honey and injures its flavor. Honey must be stored in a dry place, as it absorbs moisture quite readily, which causes it to fer- ment and decompose. If stored un- der suitable conditions, •well ripened honey will keep a long time even from one year to another. Honey has a claim to be used regularly in every home both on account of its sweetness which is delicately flavored according to the source from which it is gathered and also because of its high food value, it being a concentrated and easily as- similated heat and energy producing food. The bulk of Canadian honey is of unsurpassed quality, being light in color and delicately flavored, there- fore, its uses in the homo are practi- cally limitless. The most common way of using honey is as a spread upon toast or bread. It readily takes the place of either jam or preserves. In the making of cakes and cookies it has a decided advantage, especially for cakes that are meant to be kept for some time, as it keeps them moist and improves the flavor with age. When honey is used in cooking it must be remembered tliat every cup of honey contains about one-quarter liquid, therefore, the amount of liquid that tho recipe calls for must be cut down in proportion. As honey contains acid a small amount of soda should be used, about one-quarter of a level teaspoon to every enp of honey, and the baking po'wder reduced. Honey should not be boiled as boiling gives it a burnt fla- vor. Honey also readily takes the place of sugar in canning or preserving fruits, especially plums, pears i>eaches, etc. It also gives them a richer fla- vor. Honey can also be used instead of sugar in making jams. As a sweet- ening for summer..-drinks, honey gives refreshing results. The kinds of can- dy that can be made of all or part honey are numerous. Candy made of honey is much better than that made from ordinary sugar, as honey is far easier to assimilate and docs not tax the digestion. Icing made from honey will remain fresh and moist for months without being impaired in flavor or consistency.

Tenilerlolns With Sweet Potatoes and Apples

Discussion which at times became rather heated consumed the major por- tion of a session of the Canadian Creamery Association of Ontario, held

Knox j at Toronto recently. The debate was 111., where seven good build- principally on the subject of compnl-

ings on the dairy farm of Amos Lau- sory cream grading, and many aspects don were destroyed by fire in one hour.! of the qpestion were warmly iutroduc- A head of a match flew into some corn sJiueks hanging from a wire in a machine shed. Attempt was made to extinguish the flames but it was un- successful.

Many similar instances could be cit- ed •which point to the necessity of being careful in handling matches about barns where there is so much inflammable material. Even though the greatest care is exercised, there •will be some fires on farms and we think it well for every farmer to purchase a few fire extinguishers and have them liung about the premises so they can be quickly obtained in case a small fire is started.

From tho description of tho fire starting on Mr. Laiidon’s farm, we are led to beievo that with a fire ex- tinguisher he eould have saved his buildings.

It is a tremendous loss to any dairy farmer to lose his buidiugs, for he has a large investment in them and, at this time of the year, his feed supply for the winter.

We believe it profitable precaution to spend a few dollars for fire extin- guishers and if there is a water system make arrangements for using it.

ed and as warmly argued down Four Groups in Contest;

The meeting divided itself into four groups—those who were in favor of the rigid enforcement of the section of the Ontario Dairy Act, which deals with cream gi-adiug, and who desired the introduction of a system whereby cream prices would be based upon grades; those who wished no regula- tions whatever, on the ground that dairymen should be allowed to oper ate their business as they see fit; thos( who were in favor of grading, had always graded, and would continue to grade, but did not believe in any legal enactment which would compel them to do so, and, finally, those who en tered cntliusiastically into the discus sion of the various questions as they came up, but who felt indisi)osed tc stand or vote for any side of a ques- tion, or to support any definite policy.

Grading Advocates Win. Those in the first category were ii

tho ,'ma.fority, and succeeded before the meeting was adjourned in framing and passing a resolution “That this association recommend to the Provin- cial Government that the section of the Ontario Dairy Act dealing with cream grading be more rigidly enfor- ced; that a set of regulations fixing the prices of cream according to the grade system be drawn up by the Gov- evmneut, in co-operation, if possible, with the Executive of this associa- tion, and added to the act, and that inspectors be appointed to investigate conditions wherever it is felt that a dairyman is not abiding by the regu- lations.”

has played such a.mean and craven part. His memory will fade qnicklv from the minds of the living and the dew of gratitude will not fall upon Lis grave.

(Experimental Farms Note.) . One of the problems of the lioiise-

holder each year is what quantity of apples he can store economically, and another question. “Why did not my apples keep well last winter?” or “is there any way by which I can keep them better this year?” This does not apply, of course, to those who are for- tunate in having the old fashioned cellar without furnace which was cool but frost-proof, and moist without be- ing damp. It was and is in such a cellar that apples can be kept to the best advantage and ^v’here they will best retain their flavour. The nearer the conditions approach those in this old earth cellar the better the results will be. First, the fruit should be kept as cool as possible ■without freezing. If the temperature can be kept between 35 and 40 F., this would be be.st. The higher the temperture the shorter the life of the fruit.

Next in importance is retaining the moisture in the fruit. If the indivi- dual specimens are exposed to a very dry atmosphere they will wither, hence the desirability of keeping them in such a way as to retain the moisture as much as possible, even though the air of tho storage room be dry. This can be obtained, to some extent, by keeping the fruit in a closed package and, better still, in addition, by wrap- ping each individual specimen in wax- ed or oiled paper, which will do much to preserve the moisture in the fruit, and to keep disease from spreading from one specimen to another. It is also desirable, if one has nothing else in storage that will be adversely affect- ed, to keep an oi)cn vessel with water in it in the room.

A careful choice of varieties should be made if one is going to lay in sev- eral barrels, or more than the family can use in a montli or so, as notwith- standing favourable conditions for storage, the length of season, that any variety will remain in prime condition ÎB limited.

Cut the tenderlions lengthwise, but do not quite separate them. Open and flatten them and spread with a good poultry dressing, highly seasoned with sage and onion. Put the tender loins together sandwich fashion, fasten them with string or sew with course thread. Eub them witli melted butter, and dredge lightly with flour. Place in a baking pan and surround with halved sweet potatoes, previously par- boiled and peeled, and bright red ap- ples, quartered but not peeled. Drop bits of butter on the potatoes and apples, and sprinkle them with brown sugar, using one-qnarter cup of butter and three tablespoons sugar. Bake until the tenderloins are well done, and tho potatoes a golden brown. Re- move the string and servo on a hot plater, the meat in the centre with the potatoes and apples placed about it alternately.

BIG WORLD EVENTf; ^THEIR SIGNIFICANCE.

^ ^^iHiQTTiT3Qnks

Premier Baldwin and the Conserva- tive party had a good start in the Bri- tish general elections. Thirty-five (Jou- servativos were elected by acclamation, with eleven Liberals, three Laborites and one Nationalist. The latter is the famous ‘‘Tay Pay^^ O’Connor, who sits for the Scotland division of Liverpool. lie is an institution, both in the commons and as a writer j a brainy, clever and most beloved man. The burden of years does not detract from ‘‘Tay Pay’s” activities to a very marked extent, and his circle of friends and correspondents the world over steadily enlarges. It is a uni- que tribute to him that although in many matters of policy he has long been opi)ossed to the majority of his fellowniembers of Parliament, he has held their esteem ând respect. Prior to the voting, the view generally held ill Britain w'as that the Government would have a majority of between for- ty and fifty. It was felt that this w^ould not be sufiicient to warrant Pre- mier Baldwin in continuing or attempt- ing to embody the Protection tariff proposals into law as a number of his supporters would be Free Traders. It W’as also felt that the Laborites w'ould suffer losses chiefly to the Liberals.

Tlicre is one thing that people on this side of the water may rest assur- ed of, that is that Britain will continue to hold her place as a leader in civili- zation. In spite of the handicaps un- der which she has. labored since the burden of war finance for the Allies was for tlie most part placed on her shoulders, she has continued to assume new burdens and to meet them w’ith promptitude. It remains to be seen wdiether the new’ Government can really find a panacea for the unemploy- ment which has been the greatest menace to Britain for over two years. It w'ould seem to be obvious that un- less there is a recovery in Europe, the solution of this problem must still- be delayed. Outside of Germany there are some signs of that, not too many, but what there are gives encourage- ment. The voting of large sums of money for road work and the like can at the best be only a, temporary aid for unemployment in the od land. A real trade revival is the best cure.

French determination to construct a railw’ay across the Sahara Desert has been hastened by the belief that Spain and Italy have entered into a defen- sive alliance, the basis of which is the maintenance of their interests in the Mediterranean. France of late has made great efforts to increase her mili- tary man power by enrolling her sub- jects in equatorial Africa. It w'as mainly to facilitate this project that ilie Sahara railway w^as first mooted. The French are proud of the colonics in Africa and of the soldiers from those regions. Incidents have occurred of ate, in Paris more especially, which emphasize their determination that these men shall not be treated as in- feriors. Finer of American tourists w’ho have insulted some of these men in restuaiants and other public places, and warnings that such conduct will bring more severe punishment in future are indications of the lengths to which the French are prepared to go to re- tain the services of the coloured troops. These soldiers are being trained for European w^arfare, and will be used in large numebrs if France should be- come again involved.

bootlegging vessels within a twelve- mile limit had not been assented to, it is claimed that the Tomoka is really an American-owned vessel falsely re- gistered under the British flag. She was ordered seized by the Department of Justice at Washington, which has evidently been kept informed of her mov'cments. It is jnobable that other American vessels have been resorting to the same trick of false registry in order to carry on their trade. In any event the arrangement w'ith Britain, which it is expected will soon be rati- fied and the prospective agreement with Canada for joint effort to chock tlie international liquor and drug boot- logging, are not coming too soon. They ought to remove any danger of th« United S.tates being able to charge cither this country or Britain, with; placing any legal obstacle in the Amer- ican effort to stop rum-running.

Northern Ireland is much gratified at the officially reported development at Goalisland, County Tyrone, of n.ew’ and very ricli seams of coal in the col- liery promoted by Sir Samuel Kelly.

1 All output of one thousand tons a day is predicted within a very short time, and there is an estimated supply suf- ficient to meet the needs of Ulster for many a long year. Elsewhere in the North it is believed that there are other coal areas of quality and rich- ness. The outlook for industrial de- velopment in that part of Ireland would therefore, seem to be very promising and , no doubt, the time will come when the South will also benefit from the richness of these coal de- posits. It is interesting to note that officials of the Canadian Ministry of Mines, who have recently returned, from Europe, have been struck by the growing use of peat for fuel. They state that the system that w'as used at the plant in Alfred, Ontario, for ex- tracting w'ater from raw peat is now followed in most European countries,— namely, the air-drying method. In spite of the abandonment of Govern- ment experiments on a large scale in Canada, it would seem that this coun- try should yet get a great deal of fuel from the peat-bogs.

Canada’s growing trade is an indi- cation that the corner of depression has been definitely turned. True there are many industries and business in which recovery i svery slow. But the trade figures for the twelve months ending October 31 should put an end to the pessimistic knocking of their own country that is sometimes indulg- ed in by certain people and publica- tions in the Dominion. The aggre- gate trade for that period was $1,920,- 721,554, an increase of $351,320,240 over the period ending with October 31 in 1922. In exports alone the increase was some $180,000,000. It is note- vrorthy -that in spite of the tariff the United States w’as Canada’s best cust- omer, At the same time one must not lose sight of the fact that agricultural interests in that country are pressing for an increased tariff against* Cana- dian wheat. It is proposed that the thirty cent, duty now imposed shall be increased by fifty per cent. One argu ment being used is that Canadian wheat can be grown more cheaply than wheat in the United States, land va- lues it is claimed being the decisive factor.

Premier Mussolini, of Italy, has been giving France another cause for anxiety with this demand that his country must be consulted in all mat- ters affecting the Ruhr. Italy has been almost passive since the French decided to substitute action for nego- tiation with Germany, and her new attitude must be rather surprising to Premier Poincare and his colleagues. If it has the effect of impressing upon the French Government the fact that they are not to be the sole arbiters of the fate of German it will be productive of far-reaching and beneficial results. Belguim is taking her own steps to secure from Germany payment for the assassination of an official from the former country. Berlin, having main- tained silence toward every Belgian demand for satisfaction, railw'ay and other material was seized. In the in- terim, Germany has passed through another domestic political crisis, result- ing in the formation of a new govern- ment. Several of the outside states do jiot, however, acknowledge Berlin au- thority at all, and chaos throughout the country is increasing. Whether through her own fault or otherwise the condition of Germany is desparate. It may yet be necessary for the Allies to come together in a joint effort to restore peace within her borders, pre- liminary to a definite policy on the question of reparations.

There vcill be a little sympathy wast- ed over the seizure outside of the three-mile limit of the American coast, of the Schooner Tomoka, an awknow- ledged^ rum-runner which was flying the British flag. It was necessary for United- States vessels which made the cajiture to fire up on this schooner before she surrendered. While this and other like incidents may lead to diplomatic exchanges, because the agreement between Britain and the United States regarding the war on

Jugo-SIavia is the latest country to make demands upon Germany for the carrying out of reparations. Deliver- ies of material to make good the de- struction caused by German and Au- trian armies in Serbia are months be- hind the schedule. Jugo-Slavia’s de- mands are premptory and will giv'e the bigger powers another cause of an- xiety.

Due to a landslide in the neighbor- hood of Jobeil in Syria, tombs of some of the ancient Phariolis have been re- vealed and explorations therein are resulting in finds which will throw more light on civilization as it existed some eighteen hundred years before

■ Christ, it is undoubtedly the fact ' that the excavations and exporations

of places such as these add much to the knowledge which science is con- stantly unfolding. Whether it is of any material benefit to mankind in general is a debatable point. Some of these excavations have shown that the ancients possessed a reasonable fair knowledge of surgery, which was car- ried out in a rough enough fashion and which probably often killed more than it cured. It is asserted that trepan- ning of the human skull was suecss- fully carried out thousands of years ago. At the same time close study of well-preserved skeletons lead to the conclusion that primitive man suffered from many of the disease which now affect the race, and that living close to nature was not the cure-all that many people would now have us be- lieve.

New Lamp Burns 94 p.c. Air

BEATS ELECTRIC OR GAS

A new oil lamp that gives an amaz- ingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U.S. Government and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps, it burns without odor, smoke or noise —no pumping up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94 p.c. air and 6 p.c. common kerosene (coal oil).

The inventor, F. N. Johnson, 246 Craig St. W., Montreal, is offering to send a lamp on 10 days’ FREE trial, o reveii to give one Free to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it. Write him today for full

j ]'articuiars. Also ask him to ex- ! ’ lain how' you can get the agency, and I without ex])erience or money make : $250 to $500 per month.

SPEKCH BY' BEAM OF LIGHT.

Scientific Instiiiinenl by Which One can Talk With Secrecy.

A light ray which actually carried speech on its dazzling narrow ribbon of radiance fluctuated and blinked across the Central square of Liver- pool, England, the other afternoon.

It was the talking ray of the won- derful photophone, the secret tele- phone that cannot be tapped. Speech was transmitted along the beam of light from a quiet room in St. George’s Hall to a listening assembly in another building a considerable distance away.

Prof. A. O. Rankine, the inventor of the phoiophone, was at one end of the ray. He spoke in ordinary conversational tones, and his words could be heard with complete dis- tinctness at the reception end of the phoiophone.

The demonstration was given in connection with the Scientific Exhi- bition at Liverpool as part of the annual assembly of the British Asso- ciation.

Prof. Rankine's photophone is the great feature of the exhibition. The mechanism utilizes a ray of light re- flected from an electric lamp.

The 'Vibrations of the human voice cause the light ray to tremble and oscillate slightly. These tremblings .'^re captured at the receiving end of hie photophone by selenium cells, and translated back again, through a telephone receiver or a loud speak- ing-trumpet, into intelligible sounds.

The great value of the photophone is its secrecy. Only the person on whom the light ray is directed can receive the messages. It is especially designed for service between ships at sea.

“The range of the light-phone,” said Prof. Rankine, “is limited only by the curvature of the earth. The source of the light must be in a di- rect line with the person who is at the reception end^”

Another seleniuhi cell instrument, the optophone, which enables blind persons to read by sound, is display- ed in the exhibition.*

This is accomplished by producing in a U# phone receiver a series of musical notes which take their sound- character from the shape, of the let- ters in a page of printing as it passes through the apparatus. Each letter has a different and distinct sound value.

Bells and Bell Music. Following the gift of new bells

which Mr. George Cadbury, Jr., has made to the village of Bournville, England, in memory of his father, comes the announcement that lec- tures on the history and theory of bells and bell music are being includ- ed in the musical course of the Uni- versity of Birmingham, where bell music is also being published. The only other school for carillon play- ing at present in existence was start- ed at Malines in the autumn of 1922, but the Birmingham University does not aim at so complete a course as may be taken there. It is hoped that the course will be sufficiently useful if organists and others who have charge of carillons are able to come and learn the theory and practice of playing. This will undoubtedly fill a useful place in the musical world, in •view of the number of carillons that are now being Installed. It is said that carillon playing will probably be included in the future in the com- petitions at the Midland Musical Festival.

Patron of Navigation. Between seventeen and eighteen

hundred years ago there was a very holy bishop in Italy named Elmo. He was canonized not long after his death, and became very popular among the sailors on the Mediter- ranean, especially during storms. Eventiiaily he was known as the spe- cial patron of navigation.

His name lives nowadays chiefly because of an electrical appearance called St. Elmo’s Fire, or St. Elmo’s Light. This is either a ball of Are or a brush or star of light, some- times seen, especially in southern climates, during thunderstorms, at the tops of masts, s'pires or other pointed objects. It is often accom- panied by a rushing, hissing noise, and is of the same nature as the light caused by electricity streaming from points connected with an electrical machine.

Winchester’s Women. Winchester Cathedral, where a me-

morial to Joan of Arc was dedicated recently, possesses several other me- morials to women. In the north aisle, behind the font, is the tomb of Jane Austen, and above it a brass, and a stained-glass window to her memory. Close to Jane Austen's tomb is that of Mrs. Montagu, laundress of the Blue-Stocking Club. The reredos in the beautiful Lady Chapel, carved at Ober Ammergau, is a memorial to Miss Charlotte Yonge, the authoress, and the glass in the east window was presented by the city in remembrance of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee.

A Strange Find. A strange find was made while an

old house in North Wiltshire, Eng- land, was being demolished. Digging up the foundations, the housebreakers found a curious stone, sculptured in a style not unlike that of a church gargoyle, but more crudely worked. Only the head was found buried right in the foundation work of the house, and there was little to identify it» origin.

Didn’t Care. Rastus Jackson, a thoroughly mar-

ried darky, was one day approached by a life insurance agent.

“Better let me write you a policy, Rastus,” suggested the agent.

“No, sail,” declared Rastus em- phatically, “Ah ain’t any too safe at home as it is!”—Judge.

Snow Stops Bullets. To test the penetration of rifle

shots, snow walls six feet six inches thick were erected in France. Rifle» were fired at a distance of flfty-flve yards. In each case the ball wai stopped at a penetration of flrp and

A Pioneer Pension System

The Canadian Pacific Hailway is this year celebrating the twentieth anniversary gf the foundation of the Company’s system of pensions for the employees.

It was in 1902 that the Board of Directors, under the Presidency of Lord Shaughnessy, looked into the future for the benefit of those who were laying the foundations of the service that was to take so large a part in the up-building of Canada.

In December, 1902, the directors passed a resolution stating that a time had come when provision should be made for officers and permanent employees who, after long years of faithful service, had reached an age when they were unequal to the further performance of their duties, and announcing that a plan of super- annuation had been determined upon.

. The plan was a generous one. The Company provided all the money necessary, and the employees were not called upon to contribute to it in any way whatever. In 1903 when it was first put into effect Canadian Pacific employees numbered about 40.000. To-day they approximate 90.000, and every one of them, from the humblest stenographer, office boy, or “track walker” or even the minor employee at some far-off out- post in China or in Europe, has old- age sustenance guaranteed so long as he or she stays with the Com- pany.

Some Statistics The Company’s first contribution

to the pension fund was $250,000 which was supplemented by annual grants starting at $80,000 which have, from time to time, been in- creased, until for some years past it has been $600,000 annually. To the end of 1922 the Company had con- tributed a total of $4,716,000 to the fund while payments on pensions had amounted to $3,857,802, leaving a balance to the credit of the fund of $1,640,103. In 1922 the total pay- ments made amounted to $508,051, and at October 1st of this year the total number of the Company’s pen- sioners was 1,182, each of whom was drawing an average of $36.92 per month. It is of interest to note that since the pension fund became operative, 877 pensions have become inoperative through the death of the beneficiaries.

Having in view conditions of in- creased living costs which then pre- vailed the world over, the Company in 1919 allowed the pensioners art additional bonus of twenty-five per cent, of their regular allowance. This went into effect on May 1st of that year, and continued until the end of 1922. In view of the modi- fication of the condition that made it necessary, that bonus is this ye«r set at twenty per cent.

Kept in Canada By far the gp:«ater part of this

money is of course distributed in Canada, just , as is the case with the Company’s vast payroll of over $100,000,000 annually, and the many millions it yearly spends on the purchase of supplies under the pol- icy of- distributing as much of its expenditure as is possible in the jountry it exists to serve.

The operation of the fund is sim- plicity itself. Upon reaching the ige of 65' every employee wlm has joined the staff before reaching the age of forty is entitled to retirement if the Company so desires and can claim a pension of one per cent, of the average monthly pay received for the. ten years preceding retire- ment for every year in which he has been in the Company’s service. This is as the system was first devised ^enty years ago, and there has been but one amendment to its pro- visions. In 1908 it was found that in some cases the amount of the pension so calculated was insuffi- cient to protect the recipient against want as waj intended, and it was provided that from thenceforth the minimum amount of pension paid would be $20 per month.

Fosters Efficiency That this system has been a big

factor in fostering the efficiency so 'argely identified with Canadian Pacifie operation is undeniable. Mr. E. W. Beatty, President of the Company, speaks of it not only as a prime necessity in these days of sociological progress, and as an in- herent right of those who give lives of faithful work to Canadian Pacific service, but also as one of the things that has helped to bring Into existence the high standard of co- operation that exists between all branches of the Company’s service. “It is helping to make contented em- ployees,” says Mr. Beatty, “and that is the first requisite of faithful, effi- :ient service.” >

What a Happy Disposition And Muskoka Can Do

Mary was one of those popular girls. Happy and busy, day and nigrht—^Just hadn't time to do any- thing but dance and skate and frolic, no time at all to take care of her cough. Mary’s father was dead—the family half suspected he died of Con- sumption. Suddenly and tragically. Consumption again stalked Into the home. Tw'o sisters were stricken and within a few months both rested in the family plot on a high hill over- looking Lake Erie. Mary’s cold wouldn’t be shaken—It grew worse, her temperature rose, and she be- came very weak indeed. She was sent to the Muskoka Hospital for Con'- sumptives, where skilled treatment, fresh air and nourishing food are re- storing her strength.

The Doctors say her youth and happ-y disposition will help her In the battle against Tuberculosis. Now and again her mother visits the hospital and she Is very thankful indeed for the progress her only girl Is making.

Contributions to aid Muskoka Hos- pital in its work may be sent to Hon. W. A. Charlton, 223 College Street, Toronto.

THE GLEXGARRY NEWS, FRIDAY,

I

**T'ed, you have more money than you know what to do with. Now I want to help you part with a little of it!” Margaret Ames looked with amused and tender eyes at the clear- cut face that was lifted to hers from a newspaper.

Emerson smiled at the dark-eyed girl in turn. “Another affair of char- ity? It seems to me that I have parted with quite a bit since you won me to that settlement work of yoiirs. But I am game; I’ll help— what is it?” _

Peggy Ames knew the secret of her power over him; that secret was one of the great and precious pos- sessions of her life. Once had he loved her, and she had almost loved him. Though she had married an- other, something of the fragrance of his love for her shed its fragrance down the years and had kept their companionship sweet.

“I’ll tell you. I want you to furn- ish funds enough to aid a young singer to complete her last year at the conservatory!”

A quick shadow rose and darkened in his eyes, and she v/as surprised at the swift bitterness in his tone. “That is the last thing I care to do, Pûggy. Please don’t ask me to do it.”

She looked at him with question- ing eyes—there was some mystery behind his sudden and unusual stern answer.

“But it's a small thing, Ted; and I am anxious to help her. Please!”

“If I could only learn to refuse you,” he said, the shadow still in his eyes, “but I cannot. So wnat is my contribution to be?”

He paid the succeeding install- ments, as he did that one, with good grace, but Peggy was constantly tan- talized by his evident feeling that it was the last thing he wanted to do. She came to the conclusion that there was some mystery tucked away into his life which she, as his first and only lo-ve, should know.

So one day she said frankly: “Ted, why were you so quick to say you didn’t want to help in my little sing- er’s case?”

The (lark shadows rose into his serene eyes. “My reasons, my dear, belongs to a past over which I have dropped a veil, and not even you can lift it,” he answered quietly.

“Did it have to do with some girl?” she persisted. “I have always thought I was th'e only one!”

He laughed. “You are—but you weren’t. Now, look here, Mischief, you have pumped my innermost se- crets from me, but this one' you won't! ”

“Is—that—so?” He looked at her quickly, puzzled

by the tone of her voice; then, evi- dently satisfied that she really knew nothing about that secret, he an- swered:

“That—is—so!” 'A month later she announced that

he was to escort her to the recital at which their little singer was to appear. He demurred, but she had her way.

“I have a lovely little plot all in mind, Ted. She is a beautiful thing, and—I noticed the other day that the gray frost is gathering at your tem- ples. You really must settle down; and it would be fine if you .could get interested In her!” she advised him.

He grinned a grin that was still boyish. “Marry me to a temperamen- tal song bird? Peggy, w’here is your common sense? I don’t want a lark in my home; they fit in better out- side. Now, if you had married me—”

“What a life you would have led!” she parried.

Peggy guided him to the hall where the recital was to be held. Their seats were in a favorable location to see the stage, and she gossiped mer- rily by reason of the sheltered posi- tion. He listened with interest to the earlier numbers, and followed her chatter with his quiet regard, but she could see that on the whole he was bored.

“When does the object of our char- ity appear?” he queried finally, pointing to the name on the program, Priscilla Hope.

“There she is now!” she said, watching him closely.

He was suddenly tense, as a golden-hared girl came gracefully forward. She was beautiful, and the God who made her beautiful gave her a beautiful voice.

As she sang and replied to encore after encore, he seemed to grow rigid and quiet. When she had finished, returning To bow^ her appreciation of the applause given her, Peggy said to him:

“Now, aren’t you glad you spent somè of your money in such an in- vestment?”

He was silent for a moment. “I hardly know.”

“Aren’t you interested in her?” He turned to her, his voice full of

pain. “Oh, Peggy, be^merciful! What do you know? What have you been up to? You know her real name is not Priscilla Hope but Mary Lane— what else?”

“Hush, dear lad, I know a great deal. I know that you loved her once, and that because she thought she was more interested in her music than in you and a home she refused you. I did not know all this at first, but i have learned it.”

“Well, it is true,” he said a bit sadly.

“I have learned something else— that she really does love you. I have managed it—oh, so cleverly, dear lad, and all you have to do is to go behind that door and she—”

“Peggy, are you crazy? Why, we have not spoken for—”

“Some precious things we kept In our hearts, and they grow and blos- fcom, season after season, and I know — I know—

“You are mistaken,” he said firm- ly. hL face grave with pain. ”Sup- pose we go!”

fie reached the end of the aisle in

tiio darkening audUorium before he I'vaiisod uiat she was not with him; then out of the shadows, summoned evidently by Peggy, came a golden figure that passed before him, and spoke in a breathless, half cry:

“Ted, I wanted to succeed—and I have—but I—I want you so much more. Don’t you want me?”

Peggy, looking from the stage door, saw what made the tears of happinesi gather in her eyes, even as she closed a little door in her own heart over whose threshold Ted never more would care to go.

TIIAXSACTIOX DID NOT LAST.

Man Sold Himself for a Hog, But Had to Repay Money.

Once upon a time, Mr. Rarick, an early settler residing north of Glen Elder, brought one hog to town, sell- ing the animal to the buyer, relates the Glen Elder Sentinel. After un- loading the hog and weighing the empty wagon, it was learned that Mr. Rarick was mistaken in his be- lief that he had brought a hog to market. The empty wagon weighed more than it did when, the presumed- to-be hog was in it. Nothing daunt- ed, Mr. Rarick told the buyer he would return and bring him another hog, as he had no notion of cheat- ing an honest man.

There used to be a man near To- I'ynto who raised hogs to sell. He alsV^was peculiar. On one occasion, as E. E. Kelley tells it, he sold a load of hogs to a local buyer named Tom Hargis. Hargis was a Texan and held his word in high regard. Hargis received the load ^f hogs, weighed them and left another man to weigh the empty wagon. The seller took his weights to Hargis and received the money for the hogs. Later, Hargis found the hog man had weighed “on” with the load and “off” with the empty wagon. He mounted a horse and overtook the seller just at a place on the creek where we were fishing. Hargis made- short work of it. “Mister, you sold me a hawg to-day I don’t want. I ain’t got no use for it. You weighed yo’- self and sold yo’self for a fat hawg at three cents a pound. I hate mighty bad to go back on a deal, but yo’ ain’t worth it. Yo’ wouldn’t make good soap grease. So I sort o’ expect you’d better buy yo’self right back, right now, if yo’ count on drivin’ on home.” And the man who sold himself for a hog promptly bought himself back again.

Giving Meyerbeer a Treat. Musicians are proverbially jealous

of one another; but not all of them can manage to get a smile out of that unfortunate fact, as the gentle and merry-hearted composer Rossini once did. Rossini, who lived most of his life in Paris, was walking one day on the boulevard with his friend Braga. They met the composer Meyer- beer, who stopped and inquired po- litely after Rossini’s health. “It’s bad, very bad, my dear Meyerbeer,” answered Rossini. “I have a splitting headache, a strange pain in my side, and a leg that troubles me constant- ly.” After Mey.er-beer had .condoled sufficiently, he passed on, and Braga asked Rossini how he happened to have become suddenly so unwell. “Oh, I’m well enough,” said Rossini, with a laugh, “but I wanted to give Meyerbeer a moment’s pleasure. He would be so delighted to see me go ^ pieces!”

“A Snap of the Fingers, In southern countries the fig is the

commonest of fruits, so to say that “I don’t cai»e a fig” means “I care nothing.”

Now, the action of pushing the thumb between the two first fingers produces a shape roughly like a fig, and to hold up the hand thus means that you don’t care a fig. That this gesture has become corrupted into the contemptuous snap of the fingers is one explanation.

A far moiTi probable supposition is that our snap of contempt is the de- scendant of the old snap with which the ancient Romans used to summon their slaves, much as one would click to a dog, and that when we snap our fingers to-day, we are merely showing the contempt that we would feel for the meanest of slaves.

In Praise of Open Fire. Following are some thoughts by

the late John Burroughs: “The open fire is a primitive, elemental thing; it cheers with more than mere heat; it is a bit of the red heart of na- ture laid bare; it is a dragon of the prince, docile and friendly there in the corner. What pictures; what activity; how social; how it keeps up the talk. You are not permitted to forgot it for a moment. How Sit re- sponds when you nudge it! How it rejoices when you feed it! Why, an open fire in your room is a whole literature. It supplements your lib- rary as nothing else in the room does or can.”

Winding Up. His one relaxation was chess by

correspondence, but he was rather surprised one morning to get a letter form a firm of solicitors, “Dear sir,” they wrote, “we regret to inform you that since your lasc move our client has passed away. Would you be kind enough to sign and return to us the inclosed form, declaring a stale- mate?—London Express.

Eliminaftion of Radio Noises. Howls and noises coming through

a receiving set may be reduced with tinfoil. Paint the interior with shel- lac (not glue—glue is not an Insula- tor) and stick the tinfoil to the wet shellac. After the tinfoil is in place, it should be grounded. In addition, if necessary, place aluminum sheets be- tween the vacuum tubes and ground these.

1-anisb Superstition. In Denmark it is a popular super-

stition that if one is suffering from tootache or ague, another person can charüî it away by gathering an elder twig 1^. But the burial place musT secret from the sufferer.

DECEMBER, 7, 1923.

PREWIER OP AU.STRAI.IA.

Did Not Start Life With the Idea of | Being a Politician. . |

A particularly interesting figure | who has arrived in London, England, ; in order to attend the Imperial Con- 1 ference is Stanley Melbourne Bruce, j Prime Minister of Australia. Captain | Bruce—he served with distinction j during the w^ar, being awarded the j military cross and the Croix de Guerre—became Prime Minister at the age of 39, when he had been a member of the Federal Legislature but four years.

He is tall, slight, keen, clean- shaven, and. appears to be a fine ath- lete. Incidentally, his looks do not belie him, for he won the blue at Cambridge, rowed in the- winning Cambridge crew against Oxford in 1904, and in the years directly pre- ceding the war took the crew to Bel- gium, as coach. It is a curious fact that, although rising to the highest political position in his country, Bruce did not start life with the idea of being a politician.

In fact, when the war broke out he had been admitted to the English Bar and was practicing in London. It was not until 1917 that he returned to Australia—invalided home—and took up business, then entering the game of politics. He devoted his spare time to war lectures, aiding charity, and was soon recognized ass an extremely capable platform speaker.

In the following year a seat be- came vacant in Parliament anci Bruce was elected with a large ma- jority. It was not long before the young Australian made an impres- sion in the House, so much so that in 1921 he was asked to represent Australia at the second assembly of the League of Nations, and a few months later found him filling th2

position of Federal Treasurer under Premier Hughes. Following the las. Federal election, when Hughes was unable to form a Government, Bruce was summoned and the Go-vernment now in power resulted.

England’s Toonerville. England has a railway line that

would make the Toonerville trolley look like the Twentieth Century Lim- ited, says a returned traveller. It is a one man railway on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. This railway “runs” along the main road, so there are many gates which the conductor has to open. A favorite sport in the vil- lage is laying bets as to whether or not the gates will oe open when the train comes. Someffmes a kind- hearted old lady opens the gates, and the Sheppey Island express dashes by at its full speed of ten miles an hour. But generally the train has to come to a halt while the conductor opens the gates. Then he sprints after the train and jumps aboard. Recently an improvement was made in the service which cuts a second or so from the time needed to com- plete the journey. Thanks to the in- ventive genius of the Eastchurch station master, the official receives the train at his station, sets the sig- nals “clear” and, before the train has time to get started, mounts his bi- cycle and rides a couple of miles ahead to open the gates.

Ruskin’s Style. “The art of language is certainly

one of the fine arts,” writes Prof. Elton, in “A Survey of English Liter- ature,” “and what kind of artist, in language, is Ruskin?

“He had another art, that of the pencil, of which I am not competent to speak; but it is impossible to think of his books apart from the hundreds of examples of his nice and often re- quisite handiwork. He also, in early days, wrote much verse which is full of feeling and is technically right, but which leaves very little impres- sion. In prose he is, accurately speaking, the central figure of his time; central because the prose uf Carlyle, though greater in itself and of stronger fibre, is well away from the centre, from tue type and long tradition, from the English prose of the past, the present and the future; while Ruskin’s in its pure and classi- cal quality, and in the distinctive character of its beauty, is in the full stream of that tradition.”

Refused to Pay Duty. The silver cup he won by his swim

across the English Channel is now lying at the customs office at Doino- dossolo, as Tiraboschi failed to de- clare it. Zealous customs officials claimed duty on it when the swimmer passed through the town on his way to Bergamo, his native city. Tira- boschi, not realizing that the cup was dutiable, failed to declare possession. An examination of his bag revealed the cup, and all efforts to explain that the swimmer was on his way to Bergamo, where festivities in his hon- or required the presence of the cup, failed to soften the official heart. Payment of $15 duty was demanded, but Tiraboschi refused, on the ground that the cup was not dutible.

Nursed AVith Florence Nightingale. At the age of 101, Mrs. Janet New-

bury, an inmate of a workhouse at Whiston, Lancashire, England, has lively recollections of her adventur- ous youth.

While travelling as a girl from London by stage coach she was held up by highwaymen and robbed of ail her possessions.

During the Crimean War she serv- ed as a nurse under Florence Nightin- gale, and also acted as nurse during the Indian Mutiny and the American Civil War.

Church Candles Still Made by Hand. In Europe there is a shop which

employs a large force of men and wo- man candlemakers all the year at making candles for churches, cathe- drals and the Christmas trade. The candles for Christmas are made by machinery. Some of the church can- dies are ten feet high.

Matter of Price. People would pay for being in-

structed as they pay for being amused, if instruction were made cheap enough.

Glengarry Farmers as Well. Do our farmer friends who scud to

the city departmental stores for their supplies ever stop to think that they are by so doing really impoverishing themselves. Why is. a farm located near a large town or city so much more valuable than one in a back country? The answer is simple—because of its

•market facilities. When the farmers of Duudas, or any other county send to the large cities for their sup- plies they help to make tlie farmers near that city wealthy and they im- poverish themselves. Every dollar thev spend in their home town helps to enrich their own property. Moreover, we guarantee your local dealer will give you just as good a bargain, and better satisfaction than you can get from any city departmental store. Before you send away take your city store catalogue to a local merchant and see if he can’t fill your order just as well.—Winchester Press.

In tlio December number of the “Woman’s Home Companion” the^ Editor in an article under the Caption “Why Christmas for the Children,” •expresses so iadmirably what the “Christmas Spirit” should be, that wei print here, the article in full :—

“Why Christmas for the Children” “Many people, perhaps the majority, believe that Christmas is the

children’s festival. Some of us believe this a little pessimistically, out of disillusioned years, with a kind of “leave-it-to-the-children” philoso- I)hy; some of us believe it indulgently, with a sort of “let-them-enjoy-it- whilc-they-can” air; the assumption being that some day, when the real business of life begins for them, they must of course lose Christmas. And then there are the people, and we count ourselves anioug them, who be- lieve from quite another standpoint that Christmas is the children’s festi- val.

Now as a matter of fact we are never able to this day to write or speak of Christmas except out of the fullness of our own heart and mem- ories. Each year, as we watch the Christinas preparations on all sides of us, wo begin to see across the years the Christmases of our childhood, simple enough to be sure; some of them without a piece of holly, and never a yule log at all; but full, nevertheless, of the genuine Christmas spirit ; gaiety, brightness, tenderness, generosity understanding.

It may seem a little thing, this memory of lovely childhood Christ- mases gone by; but it is amazing, and heartening as well, how far little things like this can throw their beams across the future year^, like Por- tia’s. candle, and brighten many a dark place.

It is out of these facts and out of these memories of ours that wo have eoucliided Christmas should be, yes and can be, made a festival for children; so that they shall have stored up in their hearts precious memory Christmases that can never in all the years to come be lost.

It is almost impossible to exaggerate the impressionability of children. It is well to remember that we are giving the children day by day im- pressions that they not only will not forget, but cannot forget. It is now, while he is little, ■that he is getting his mold or measure of Christ- mas; it is now, while he-is little, that we are either giving him permanent loveliness or denying it' to him.

Go back to your own childhood and you will see the simple Christmas that was to be the Christmas of tho future. What a real gift ! A beautiful, sincere, tender, generous Christmas for the children, now, and so for all their future years.

This, as we take it, is the whole splendid meaning and import of “Christmas for the Children.” Let us be quite definite about it—let us determine that these children whose lives our own touch to-day shall have now, in their tender and deeply impressionable years, a truly lovely Christ- mas, brimming over with peace and love and joy and gentleness and beauty and good will; so that they can never in the future years, in some of which, it may be, we shall not be beside them, lose Christmas or lack it.”

We in our corner are doing what we can to foster this spirit and can truthfully say it h^s helped very materially, by keeping alive in us this Christmas Spirit which we would be sorry to lose. Last week we interviewed Mr. Bond—who has been putting on such splendid Moving Picture Entertainments in Alexander Hall—regarding a special Enter- tainment for the children and he has kindly agreed to do soi by providing something which will delight the little people—for the small sum of 10c— no war tax—He would be unable to do this were it not for the fact that the Alexander Hall Committee is generously giving the Hall Rent Free, also for that date, in order that the children may not be disappointed. The children and their parents will be admitted for the above charge and further notice will be given as to date, programme, etc.
