The property on Main St. known as the Commercial Hotel, was put up for sale by public auction on Thursday afternoon, July 20th, under power of sale by Mr. J. R.

Al- though there were quite a large num- ber of persons present, no one seemed desirous of investing in real estate, and there was only one nominal bid of $800. Mr. J. P. Farmer was auc- tioneer. Mr, Mcljrturtn will probably talce over the property himself and cither sell or lease the same.

The re-opening services in connection with Zion C’hurch, East Hawkesbury, in accordance with public announce- ment, were held on Sabbath last, 23rd July. I'he weather was fine and beau- tiful. There was a ?arge attendance at all of the services. The people of the neighborhood, of all denominations, turned out strong, and there were al- so large numbers from Vankleek Hill, West Hawkesbury, Cassburn, St. Dav- id’s appointment, and other sections. The church which has recently been re- paired and renovated at a cost of five hundred dollars, is now quite comfort- able and attractive. Rev. C. S. Deep- rose, ex-President of the MontrealCon- ference, who was expected to preach at the morning and evening services, was unable to come, and Rev. F.Tripp the pastor, took charge of those ser- vices himself. Rev. 0. A. Ferguson, pastor of Knox (’hurch, VankleekHill, preached in the aMcmoon. The ser- mons were all very appropriate, prac- tical and inspiring. The Vankleek Hill Methodist Church choir, under the leadership of Mr. Win. A. Cheneywere present' in full force, fourteen in all, and rendered very efficient service, Mrs W. A. (’heney, organist. The proceeds of the services’ collections and sub- scriptions amounted to the handsome sum of nearly one hundred dollars.The parties from a v^istance were all very hospitably entertained during the day by the families of the neighborhood. The lawn social held on the lawn of Mr. Wm. Anderson on the following Monday was very successful in every respect. The attendance was large, and a good programme was rendered, consisting of timely addresses from Rev. C. A. Fergpison and Rev. Ï). Alex ander, and several musical selections from Mrs. Tripp, W. A. Cheney and Miss Annie Meech, Mrs. W. A. Cheney accompanied at the organ. Refresh- ments were served on the grounds. A pleasant and profitable evening was spent, all seeming to enjoy themselves The receipts of the evening amounted to eighty dollars, which was fully up to expectations, and with the Sunday contributions will considerably more than pay off the balance due for church repairs.

ADDRESS AND PRESKN'PATTON

The regular meeting of the Dalkeith Mission Band was held in the school house on Saturday afternoon, at one o'clock.

The meeting was opened by the pre- sident, Mrs. J. N. McIntosh.

The usual proceedings being gone through with, the president then ex- pressed the pleasure it gave the Band in having Mrs. Morrison, of KirkHill, with them and kindly asked her to give a talk to the children.

Mrs. Morrison spoke very impressive- 'y and urged the necessity of children having an aim in life and of them lay- ing. plans by which they should live,' leaving with them the text from Ec- eiesiast-es 12-1 “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.”

The roll call being taken and re- sponded to by a verse from Scripture by each member, tao president then asked Mrs. Morrison to come forward when the following address and pre- sentation was extended her.

THE ADDRESS.

To Mrs. Morrison, ■ The Manse, Kirk Hill.

We, the member? of the Dalkeith Mission Band, have gathered together this afternoon to do honor in a slight degree to our worthy pastor’s help-

Mrs. Morrison has been recogni?:ed both in this and other congregations , as one that always witnesseth for C-hrist. She has been the organizer of this band and always has as the oc- casion presented itself taken some spe- cial part in endeavoring to interest the youth in the cause of Christ and always examplified in no small mea- sure His lifting up. And He says :— “And if I be lifted up will draw all men..-uhto me.”

She has endeared herself since com- ing among us to old and young alike, entering both into the sympathies of the old and the child-nature of the young, realizing the necessity of n.-ach- ing and keeping in touch with the young if we are to win souls for Ilia Kingdom.

We would ask Mrs. Morrison to ac- cept this life-membership certificate as a slight token of our appreciation of her work among us and we would pray our Heavenly Father lO bestow upon her, blessings which the wc-rld cannot give and yet cannot i ike away

We would also pray that He may see fit to leave with ner years of health and strength to carry on this labor of love in the life upon which -ho I *-s en- tered and which Ho orrlaiuod, that she should fill.

Signed on behall of the members of the Dalkeith Mission Band. i

The Trade Agreement >Vent Through Without Amendment

by Vote of 53 to 27.

Washington, -Inly 22. — President Taft’s pet project, the (’anadian reci-, j^rocity agreement went through the Senate this afternoon without amend- ment by a vote of 53 to 27. With the signature of the President expected to be added next Weernesday, the agree- ment will become a taw and the leg- islation for which the extra session of Congress was convened will be com- pletctl. The way for the passage of the bill was cleared by the defeating of A.mend ment s as fast as they were pre- sented. 'The first to come up was that >f Senator Mcf'umber, of North Dako- ta, reducing duties» on many necessar-

“S of life, and increasing the free list, t was defeated, 16 to 64, and that was

indicative of all the votes on the amendments. *

The Kelson amendment restoring half of the duty on grains and farm .Toducts, made free in the reciprocity bill, was then defeated, 23 to 58.

An amendment by Senator Simmons, of North (’arolina, putting fresh meats and meat products on the free list in the reciprocity bill was defeated, 18 to a. ,

Senator Simmons then offered his amendment to put flour and (.jreal products on the reciprocity free list, and it was defeated, 17 to 63.

Tne Cummins’ amendment then were taken up. The first, reducing the duty on various steel products, was defeated, 17 to 64. That reducing the duty on oil cloth and linoleums, was defeated on a viva voce vote.

Senator LaFollette then called up his amendment, comprising a general revision of the woollen tariff. It also was^defeated by 16 to 64. '

The ]..aFollette amendment for revi- sion of the entire cotton taritr and the ariff on artificial silk went out, 15 to

63. A third amendment by Senator I>a rollette, admitting free of duty after January 1, liti-, all wood pulp, news-

, print paper, an<i paper board, was de- feated n to 67.

Senator Bailey called up hie amend- ment, proposing to attach the farmers .ree list bill to the I’eciprocity measure, and it was defeated 15 to 63.

The amendment by Mr. McC'umber, of North Dakota, Republican, one to put harness and saddlery on ’ he Jreo ;ist, and the other to prevent free ad- mission of Canadian barley and other

■«reals in the I’nited States, were de- eated, the voices being 15 to 64 And 21

to 54, respectively. I'nder the general tariff laws all foreign goods held in bonded warcKou.ses are entitled to a new tariff as soon as any such new ate becomes a îa^. Mr. Bristow’s amendment to reduce

!.he duty on printers* type and type metal' was defeated ffi to 61.

Mr. Bristow’s aniendmeiit, revising the tariff on rubbri- products and fix- ing the duties at 25 per cent., and the Crawford amendment, reducing duties on Canadian manufactured products, were defeated without a roll call,

f The Hailey amendment, to put cotton bagging and cotton ties on the free list, was beaten 17 to 62.

PRESIDENT’S STITEMENT fe Hopes the Bill Will Pass the Canadian

Parliament,

Beverly, Mass., .luly 23.~In the first tatement he has made since the assage of the reciprocity bill by the

'’enale. President Taft, at the sum- mer White House tonight, freely ac-

knowledged that hts long, hard cam- -■'sign in behalf of that measure 7ould have proved unavailing if the Democrats had not helped him. With- out such aid, the President declared.

reciprocity would have been ‘‘irapos-

I In his own judgrhent, the President declared, the agreement would mark an epoch in the relations between the United States and Canada, and those who opposetl the bill in Congress would find tlu'ir prophecies disproved and their fears allayed by its actual operation. Its passage by the Can- adian Parliament, the last step be- fore it becomes a bond between the two countries, he hoped and believed would be forthcoming.

The statement reads as follows : ‘H'hat I am very much pleased with

' the passage of the Canadian recipro- city bill through noth houses of Con- gress goes without saying. 1 believe and hope it will be followed by sim- ilar action by the Dominion Parlia- ment. In ray ju<2gment, the going into effect of the agreement wilP make a new epoch in the relations between the Unit<?d States and Can- ada, and it will tend to a ' marked increase in the trade between the two countries, which wirl be in every way beneficial to both.

I hope the credit that belongs to Secretary Knox and his special as- sistants at the Department, in the negotiating and framing of the pact and their lucid explanation and defence of itk terms, will not be withheld.

“In a sense the passed was a non-partisan measure, though the Re- publicans who voted for it probably did so on one economic theory, and the Democrats who voted for it on another. I should be wanting in straightforward speaking, however, if I did not freely acknowledge the cre- dit that belongs to the Democratic majority in the House and the Demo- cratic minority in the Senate, for their consistent support of the measure, in an earnest and sincere desire to sec- oure its passage. Without this, nci- proclty would have been impossibl»*?. It would not have been difficult for them to fasten upon the bill amend- ments affecting the tariff generally in such a way .as to embarrass the ex- ecutive and to make it doubtful whe- ther he could sign the bill, and yet to claim popular approval for their sup- port of reciprocity in its defeat. In other words, the Democrats did not ‘play politics’ in t«e colloquial sense in which those woras are uséd, but they followed the cnctates of a higher policy.

“We Republicans, who have ear- nestly sought reciprocity, and some of whose votes were necessary to the passage of the bill, may properly en- joy mutual felicitations on a work well done. To those who opposed the bill on the ground that it will do harm to the farmers, we can only say that we who have supported the pass- age of the bill look forward to the test

the actual operation of the reciproc- ity agreement to disprove their/ pro- [)hecies and allay their fears. The satisfaction that actual experience in its working will give, we confidently hope, will .secure its permanence. In a decade its benefits will contribute much to a greater United States and a greater Canada.” ; , ^

GREAT CHANCES FDR KING GEORGE

TToping that King George will do great things for all sorts of art, edu- cation and good politics, H. G. Wells, the novelist, has this to say in the Ix)ndon Alail :

SUFBOrtK WE HAVE.

'I'liink wliat it niayvmoan for us all— 1 write as one of that great ill-inform- ed multitude sin,cere?y and gravely pa- triotic, outside the echos of court gos- sip and the easy knowledge of exalted society—if our King does indeed care for these wider and profounder things! Suppose we have n King at last who cares for the advancement of science, who is willing to do me hundred things that are so easy in his position to increase research, to honor and to share in scientific thought. ??uppose we have a King whose head rises above the level of me court artist,and who not only can ?,ut will appeal to the latent and discouraged power of artistic creation in our race. Suppose we have a King who understands the need for incessan?, acute criticism to keep our collective activities intelligent and efficient, and for a flow of bold, unhampered thought through every de- partment of the national life, a King

; liberal without laxity, and patriotic without pettiness or vulgarity. Such, it seems to us who w^ait at present almost inexpressively outside the im- mediate, clamors of a more artificial loyalty, are the splendid possibilities of the time.

KNGJ.AND’S HEART SOUND, For England is no exhausted or de-

caying country.' It is rich with an unmeasured capacity for generous re- sponse. It is a country burthened, in- deed, but not overwhelmed by the gi- gantic responsibilities of empire, a lit- tle relaxed by a certain shyness of temperament, a certain habitual tim- idity, slovenliness, and insincerity of mind. It is a little distrustful of in- tellectual power and enterprise, a lit- tle awkward and ungracious to brave and beautiful things, a little too tol- erant of dull, well-meaning, and in- dustrious men and arrogant old wo- men. It suffers hj'pocrites gladly, be- cause its criticism is poor, and it is wastefully harsh to frank unortho- doxy. But its heart is sound if its standards of achievement are lowy It needs but a quickening spirit upon the throne, always the traditional centre of its respect, to rise from even the

I appearance of decadence. There is a i new quality seeking expression inEng- land like the rising of sap in the spring a new generation asking only for such leadership and such emancipation from restricted scope and ungenerous hos- tility as a King alone can give it.

London, July 22.—Of all the young royalties on the steps of European thrones, Edward frjnce of Wales, has been most in the public eye these last two months. As soon as his father came to the English throne, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be subjected to forced growth, in spite of the wishes of his parents.

All through the period of mourning for Kind Edward, the youthful heir remained in the background, but as soon as the year of mourning expired, the sixteen-year-old boy became a pub- lic personage. The name of Prince Edward blazed at the Coronation, and his investiture at Carnarvon last Thursday, makes him the most talked of lad in the Britrsfi dominions, and the hero of English boys in every part of the world.

Notwithstanding all- the fuss that is being, made of him, the Prince of Wales, known as “Davvie” in his family circle, is quite unspoilt. Many a child of iJch parentage is more in- dulged than he. Although the Prince has attained such prominence, paren- tal obedience is rigorously enforced, as well as the rule* of the simple life. Serious in disposition he is markedly interested in elementary science. But he is not really a bookish youth. Crick et, in which he has been coached by Dr. W. G. Grace, is his favorite game, though he is almost as fond of golf.

Princess Mary can play her brother’s games almost as well as he can him- self. Her ambition to drive an auto- mobile has not yet been realized. Thinking her late grandfather an easy sort of man, she once tried to persuade KindEdward to let her drive one of his cars in Windsor forests. “Certainly,” he replied, “only you must wait a lit- tle until we have had time to clear the trees away.

INFLUENCING ALL EUROPE.

The influence of the English royal house has set its zeal upon all the Courts of Europe, especially in matters of the household and the family. The domesticity of which QueeAi Alary is such a shining example, and the prac- tical views she takes of motherhood, find their counterpiece in Queen Maud of Norway, who is bringing .up her son, little Prince Olaf, upon the Eng- lish model.

The Queen of Spain is also emphati- cally British where the upbringing of her children is concerned. IJttlo Al- fonso, who is now nearly four years old, and tiny Prince Jaime and Prin- cess Beatrix lead the healthy simple life after the pattern laid down for Queen Alary’s family. The game in- fluence is also apparent in the royal Italian nursery, for the children w’ere taught to speak English at a very early age.

Ill [0 i ii It wa.s announced to The Globe by

Mr. W. IV, Ashald, Superintendent of Grand Trunk telegraphs, Montreal, last night at the Queen’s Hotel that the company would adopt in the near future the despatching of trains by telephone over its entire system, dis- placing the telegraph for this purpose.

The company has had two tele- phone circuits in operation during the past eighteen months, and these have given entire satisfaction. Xliese cir- cuist embrace the northern division, with one despatcher, from North, Parkdale to Burlington Junction via Allendale, a distance of 140 miles and the division from Allandale to North Bay, a distance of 165 miles, wnth one deapatcher.

The entire system of the railway totals above 4,700 miles, and the tele- phone despatching department will include 21 circuits. The same num- ber 'of operatives will be required as in the present telegraph service. Mr. Ashald said that the telephone system was much superior to the telegraph and in flexibility of operation it was considered much saver.

A rough estimate of the cost of in- stalling the system and placing it in operation is 8105 a mile. This will bring the entire cost of installation for the system to around 8500,000.

“We use a copper metallic circuit,” said Mr. Ashald, “having two wires of No. 9 gauge of hard ground copper Each wire weighs 210 pounds per mile. It costs 75 per cent, more than the telegraph to install, but the railways consider it so much superior to the telegraph that they readily adopt the telephone." A special tele- plione will be used.

Mr. Ashald also estimates that the telephone saves per cent over the telegraph in time. In issuing orders over the telephones the numerals are first given and then spelled out, as “two-three” for twenty-three, and the names of towns are first pronounced and then spelled so that the possibil- ity of mistakes are avoided. This cheep cannot be obtainable by rele-

In the once popular play, “Our American Cousin,” which was on the

^ stage the night President Lincoln met his death at the hands of an as- sassin in his box at the theater in Washington, the leading character was J..ord Dundreaiw, as acted by the elder Southern. T.ord Dundreary was an exceedingly simple, not to say stupid, specimen of English nobil- ity, whose ideas and their expression were painfully slow. He was charm- ed with the beautiful American girl visijing in T.ondon and tried to en- gage her in conversation, but as she did not offer to help him any his progress was not encouraging. He sat sucking the kuob of his cane, and after prodigipus thought, finally asked in his slow, hesitating way, “Do-you- like cheese ?”

“No,” she repiiea. A long pause — then, “Does-your-

brother-like cheese V” “I have no brother,” was the

answer. Another painful pause, and more

deep thought. “Well, if you — had a brother —

! would your-brother-like cheese ?” I All of which brings us to the sub- ! ject of our discourse, which is a bul- ’ letin just issued by Secretary Wilson

of the Department of Agriculture, in which are given the results of a series of experiments on cheese when used as an important article of diet. It has been contended that cheese is not healthful ; that it is indigestible, and “binding” or constipating and those who are fond of the article have generally eaten it with misgiv- ings and have always been afraid of using it in any large (juantity. Then again some have been afraid to use new cheese, although they prefer it to that thoroughly ripened.

These doubts and fears may now be put at rest, for the “poison squad” was put on a die» of green cheese exclusively and it was found per- fectly digestible and, as far as nutri- tive value was concerned, was as good a food as the same cheese at any stage of ripening. It may be explained that the “poison squad” is a number of students at some col- lege or university who are willing to become the subjects of experiments with different kinds of foods or preparations in order to test the value or safety of the same. We used to talk of “trying it on the dog,” now the “poison squad” fills that responsible and sometimes haz- ardous position — all in the interest of science.

A total of . 184 cheese experiments was made at Wesleyan University, and sixty-five subjects, most of them college students, took the opportun- ity to feast on free cheese. The amount eaten by each person in a day ranged from one-half a pound to one - pound . aifd a record, of the health* of each subject wàs kept. From this it appears that they all enjoyed the cheese, which was eaten with a few slices of bread and some bananas ; that with few exceptions the amount was not considered ex- cessive and that they were about equally divided in tlie preference of a mild or strong cheese.

According to Secretary Wilson, pound of cheese has nearly the same food value as two pounds of fresh beef or any other fresh meat. It is worth a.s much as a pound of ham and is more digestible and is equal to two pounds of eggs and three pounds of fish. In price it costs about the same per pound as the cheaper cuts of meat and practically the same as smoked ham or bacon. It will therefore lessen the cost of living if a good portion of cheese take the place of some more ex- pensive article on the daily bill of fare.

The demand for cheese in this country is increasing each year, and where twenty-five years ago a large portion of the cheese made here was exported, mostly to ICngland, we now practically do noi export any, and the cheese industry is one of our most important industries.

T.et us all be thankful that we can indulge our fqndness for this article of food without any more misgivings and even if we can afford nothing more than “bread and cheese and, kisses” for ' our meals, we may rest assured that we have three of the best things in the world.—Northwest- ern .Agriculturist.

I Hygiene in Farm Bniidings

Very often the hygiene of the cow- shed, stable, etc., is treated as a mat- ter of no importance,, and is therefore neglected. The need for pure air and wholesome surrouualngs is just as im-

I portant and just as necessa^ in the buildings where farm stock are housed

! as in the farmer’s own home. It is not our intention to go very deeply into this subject, as it is a very large one, but in the present notes, we intend to touch upon one or two of the most important aspeefs of the ques- tion, First and foremost, we mus; consider the subject of ventilation. This is of paramount importance and must be looked into carefully and in a proper manner.

There are plenty of people who seem to confuse the words ventila- tion and cold. They consider that the animals must be kept warm, and that any cold air coming in would be decidedly dangerous and detri- mental. Accordingly, all the windows are bolted, the ventilators, if any, are stuffed up with straw and the doors are fast closed. The best thing for people of this sort is a visit to such a stable the first thing in the morning before any one el,so has been let into the building. I think that we may safely assert that they would wonder how the animals lived in the place if they just inhaled a few mouthfuls of the air.

Well, there is no need to go into the story further, but it tends to show that what is oad for man is bad for beast, and if he suffers for a moment when he comes in from the fresh air, what do the stock sn>^er who have to remain in the fetid at- mosphere twelve noms or more ? Some may argue tliat they get ac- customed to it, and while this is per- fectly true, it is none the less true that the air breathed remains bad, and becomes worse and worse, as there is no outlet for the foul air and no inlet for the fresh.

What is the sane solution of the case, and must warmth and comfort be obtained at the cost of bad ven- tilation or no ventilation at ,all ? Of course, not, and it is perfectly easy to house animals in warm and com- fortable buildings that are at the same time well ventilated and healthy, if these simple precautions are taken. First, there must be a fresh air inlet ; secondly, a foul or impure air'outlet; and thirdly, there must be nothing in the shape of a draught. It is draught that causes trouble, not fresh air, and the sooner that this is generally realized, the better it will be for farm animals in general.

The foul air rises, therefore the outlet should be at the top of the building, and there is probably noth- ing to equal the small turret built on the exterior of the roof. This con- sists of louvred weather boards on each of the four sictes and the wind blowing through these boards sucks the foul air out. It is a good' plan to have the turret opening on the four sides, aS the air rising from the interior of the building will be drawn out in whatever direction the wind may be blowing, with the same celer- ity. The top of the turret is, of course covered, and the boards placed in such a position as to pre- vent the ingress of driving rain, snow, etc. Of course, the turret sys- tem is not the only system for ef- ficient ventilation, but it is simple and not very expensive, and ,1. Is this, coupled with effectiveness, that the farmer wants. In building new stables, etc., it should be noted that it is not a good plan to have the same higher than inn o" twelvvi .fet-t to the ridge. If a greater height is taken there may be a down draught, which will, of course, interfere with the proper rise and exit of i.ho warm and foul air.

Fresh air inlets are probably by far the best when taking the form of air bricks uoder the eaves. Again simplicity is , the keynote, and cer- tainly, they are effective and whole- some, as .there will not be any <iirect draught m a line with the animals themselves. The inlets underV the eaves should not be considered the only fresh, air inlets, because, if pos- sible, there should be good sized windows on each side of the build- ing, made to open, and perhaps the most handy kind are those ihat open outwards and are controlled by means of a meta! bar pierced with holes. The advantage of this will be apparent, as the window can be fastened without difficulty at any de- sired position by simply dropping the slotted bar over a small notch fitted on the window sill. The window’s of stock sheds should always be made to open, for on seasonable days it will be a splendid purifier to get a good draught of air blowing through the building while the stock are out at grass or at work, as the case may be.

How to Get Good Roads Hon. M. J. Dowling, of Olivia, was

recently asked, by the editor of the University Farm Press News, for a brief statement of the methods so successfully used, in Kenville County, for making and maintaining good roads. His reply is as follows :

*T will use as an example the 55 miléb of east and west road parallel- ing the Milw'aukee Hoad through Kenville County. When the news reached us that the Tribune Trophy would be given to the county having the best roads, over w’hich the auto-

^ raoble tour to Aberdeen would run, we divided this 55 miles into dis- tricts, selecting the most enthusiastic

•good-roads man In each district as its superintendent. We went to the county commissioners, w’ho favored us with a small appropriation, which was divided equally among the dis-

•Trict superintendems. We went to the village council of eacli village, and w’ore favoretl by them with a small appropriation, which w’as turn- ed over to the local district super- intendent. We then aroused the spirit of enthusiasm among the vil- lage people and the farmers along the entire route. also aroused a spirit of rivalry oetween the dis- tricts ; and then we went to work with the ordinary disc and harrow, following these with the King drag. The entire 55 miles was thoroughly disced, harrowed «ncl then smoothed by the King drag. Sods were thrown to the side of the road, ruts were filled aud packed, approaches to cul- verts and bridges were carefully filled level with the planks, all stones and pieces of broKen glass were picked up by hand. Kocks were dug out, and the holes filled and packed. Low places, where water might settle after a rain, were drained by small open ditches. This work having been accomplished, nothing further was done than to maintain the road in good condition bj^ the use of the King drag from one end of the coun- ty to the other, teach district super- intendent, who worked without re- muneration, knew just where his work began and left off ; and al- though heavy rains preceded the Aberdeen run, ancF our soil is as slippery when wet as any in the state, by running the King drags over this road in the early morning of the day when the automobiles went through, it made the surface as smooth and nice as a city street.

‘*Not counting the labor of love, which was gladly donated by farmers and village people along the line, our total expenditure on this road, for 1910, was less than 8200. I am con- vinced that the same work can be du- plicated in any community in Min- nesota, by ‘ simply getting together and dividing up the territory, and then enthusing the inhabitants until a spirit of loyalty in each district is aroused.

‘Tf I would add anything more it would be this : Don't l;pt water stand on any portion of the road, to soak and soften it ; don’t permit a single sod to be used m constructing the road ; don’t build the road too wide, and don’t build it to a peak in the center. Make it round like a hog’s back, and then keep it in condition by a fi’equent use of the King drag ; and do not forget that the best time to use the King drag is right after a rain.”—1’he North West Agricultur- ist.

CURED OFJONSTIPATOR Mr. Andrews praises Dr.

Morse's Indian Root Pills*

Mr. George Andrews N.S., writes:

**For many years I have Dccn troubled with chronic Constipation. This ail- ment never comes single-handed, and I have been a victim to the many Alnesses that constipation brings in its train. Medicine after medicine 1 have taken in order to find relief, but one and all left me in the same hopeless condition. It seemed that nothing would expel from me the one ailment that caused so much trouble, yet at last I nad about these Indian Root Pills.

That was indeed a bick^ day for me, for I was so impressed with the state- ments made that Ï determined to pve them a fair trial.

They have regulated my stomach and bowels, 1 am cured cd constipation, and I daim they have no Mpial as a medi- cine.”

For over half a century Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills have been curing con- sdpatkm and clogged. Inactive kidneys, with all the ailments which result from them. They dcanse dbe whole system and purify the blood everywhere t/t 2Sc. a bar. 2

Tile Rutabaga Crop. Delay no longer to plant the rut-

abaga turnips. Don’t be stingy about planting them, either, for they are as valuable as a winter green food for farm stock as for humans. .Every far- mer should plant two or three acres of this root, and if the market is such that it will not. pay to offer them for .sale, then feed them to the fann anim- als, or better, still, grow enough for both the market and the animals.

Rutabagas are very easily grown. On poor soils a quantity of well-rot- ted maptire should be incorporated with the land before, plowing, but on fertile areas this is not essential. The field should be marked out in rows twenty-four to thirty inches apart with a corn or other marker that will make a shallow furrow. Sprinkle a high-gi'ade complcTe - commercial fer- tilizer in the drill. With a cultivator that has had its shovels set, so as to make a ridge, each row is run over to form a low ridge (ttroctly over the fer- tilizer-dusted furrow. The seed drill is then run over the ridge, after a roller or hoe has been passed over it, to form a level top. The seeds germin- ate quickly, and the young plants are soon ready to be thinned to stand eight to ten inches apart in the row. Cultivation ought to begin immediate ly after seed sowing, and continue just as long as the (niltîvator can pass be- tween the rows without injuring the tops. Care is necesrsary in stirring the soil not to cover the developing roots, or they will be impeded in their growth.

Returns per Cow Out of 2400 cows tested l^st month

in Ontario for memoers of cow testing associations, 895 of them, or over one third of the total number recorded, gave yields of over 1000 pounds of milk and - 33 pounds of butter fat. Many cows gave <»ver -lO pounds of fat. In sharp contrast are some low aver- age yields, from all cows included in three or four associations, of less than 25 pounds of fat. tfith butter fat valued only at 20 cents per pound, this means that goocr cows are earn- ng §3.00- per month more than poor

cows. If this average is multiplied by a milking period ot ten months, it fol- Ipws that ther^ is actually a difference in the income from two such cows of as much as 830.000 in the â^eason.

These astonishing differences are on- ly brought to light anS to the appre- hension of owners when they begin to record weights of milk and to take samples for testing. If cows are view- ed from a right perspective (a full sea- son’s satisfactory production and not a brief, near-sighted glimpse of a re- cord for a day or a week) not one will be retained in the herd that does not return a goocr profit ; and such common difference as noted above will not be possible in the properly select- ed dairy herd, each cow selected on the basis of her individual demonstra- tion of profit made. Every dairy far- mer will find it advantageous to keep dairy records.—C.F.W.

EXCURSIONS TO WESTERN CANADI. The Grand Trunk Railway System

announce that on 'Tuesdays, June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, August Sand 22, September 5 and 19, 1911. Home- seekers’ Excursione will be run from all stations in Ontario and Quebec to Western (Canada, via Chicago and Du- luth or via Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, at reauced round trip

The well-known double track line of the Grand Trunk from the East to Chicago appeals to the traveller, and with the superior train service that is offered by this lino, including tlie fam- ous “International Limited” from Montreal daily at 9.00 a.m., and which ià the finest and fastest train in Can- ada, many passengers will be attract- ed this way. The route via Chicago is a most interesting one, taking passen- gers through the principal cities and towns in Canada and in the states of Michigan and Indiana. In addition to this a choice of seven lines between Chicago and St. I'aul and Minneapo- lis is offered.

Owing to the great number of Cana- dians who reside In Chicago, St.Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and other cities en route, there is no doubt that the Grand Trunk will find many patrons who will take advantage of the oppor- tunity thus afforded them for a brief visit at the stations with their fri-

Cauadiau citizens are exempt from

so-called Immigration Examination, and there is no detention at any point

Baggage is carried throuirh ne ( nit ed States in bond without requiring any special attention on the part of the passenger. Inspection is not ne- cessary at any of the points at the Border.

Another feature that will appeal to the homeseeker is the comfortable transfer at points like Chicago, St. Paul and Duluth into freshly ventilat- ed clean cars', avoiding tiie necessity of travelling a long distance in the same car.

Ill addition to the above routes, the sale of tickets is also authorized via Sarnia, and the Northern Navigation Company’s magnificent steamers across Lake Huron and Lake Super-

For further particulars apply to any agent of the Grand Trunk Railway System, or'write to Mr. J. Quinlan, District Passenger Agent, Bonnventure Station, Montreal, or Mr. A. E. Duff, District Passenger Agent, Union Sta- tion, Toronto.

FIGHTING THE HOUSE FLY

’rhe campaign against the house fly, “the messenger of death,” as it has not inaptly been termed, seems to be conducted with increasing vigor in various places. The I'nited vStates with a view of exterminating the pest have established a national fly- fighting committee, and the healtk departments in all the States are taking the matter up, and educa- tional methods are being largely con- ducted. 'I'he fly is a germ carrier in addition to having filthy habits. As many as 6,600,000 bacteria of dif- ferent kin<ls have been found on a single fly. A ffy caught and examin- ed was found to l^e entirely covered with typiioid bacteria. T^xperts as- sort that 5,000s out of every 7,000 deaths from suen diseases as cholera infantum and summer diarrhoea would be prevented if there were no flies.

The Woman’s World rec«*ntly gave a list of rules for dealing with the nuisance which householders would do well to take a note of. It is a.s follows :

Keep the flies away from the sick, especially those ill with contagious diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the sick room. His body is cov- ered with disease germs.

Do not allow decaying matiuial of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises.

All refuse which lends in any way to fermentation, such as bedding straw, paper waste and vegetable matter, should be disposetl of or covered with lime or kerosene oil.

Screen all food.

Keep all receptacles for garbage carefully covered and the cans clean- ed or sprinkled with oil or lime.

Keep all stable manure in vault or pit, screened or sprinkled with lime, oil or cheap preparations.

See that your sewage system is in good order, that it does not leak, is up-to-date, and not exposed to flies.

Pour kerosene into the drains. Cover food after a meal, burn or

bury all table refuse. Scrèen all food exposed for sale. Screen all windows and doors,

especially the kiicfien and dining- room. [

Burn Pyrethnim powder in the house to kill the files.

Don’t forget if you see flies, their breeding place is nearby filth. It may be behind the door, under the table, or in the cuspidor.

If there is no cllrt and filth there will be no flies.

If there is a nuisance in the neighborhood, write at once to the health department.

GEnilG CimilDl UP in TUP LIGT

A bulletin issued by the Interna- tional Institute, with headquarter.^ at Rome, places Canada seventh in the list of wheat-producing countries of the world. The wheat crop of 1910 north of the equator, was di- vided as follows :

Country. Bushels. Germany 141,885,000 Austria 57,589,000 Bulgaria 49,126,0fM') Denmark 4,550,000 Spain 137,449,000 Belgium 12,449,000 France 254,363,000 British Isles 58,235,000 Hungarv 198,483,000 Italy 1.53,339,000 lAixemburg 624,000 Norwav 314,000 Netherlands ' 4,324,000 Roumania * 110,828,000 Russian Empire 776,619,000 Sweden 7,522,000 Switzerland 2,756,000 Canada 149,990,000 United States ... ... 695,443,000 British India 357,109,000 Japan 23,728.000 Algeria 39,37.5.000 l\inis 1,042.000

Total 3,240,141,000

South of the equator, Argentine, Chili, AiKtralia and New Zealand, had a combined production of 249,- 632,000 bu.shels. This year the Can- adian West alone will produce 20(>,- 000,000 bushels. if present predic- tions are verified, and ('anada may take fifth plac.e, bringing it next to France. I'he lesson is plain enough. The Briti.sh market cannot Indefinite- ly absorb the Canadian surplus in competition with the world. The need of new outlets for Canadian wheat Ls an argument which appeals to every wheat grower who is not blinded by party prejudice or deluded by the party poîiticîaw.

EKTIUIICE EMMINm RESULTS After an even lojiger wait, mainly

due to the fact that all entrance pa- pers had to be carefully scrutinized by the Ontario j-!ducational Department, prior to the announcing of the 6na! results, we are now permitted to make «time iniblic. In the marking of the lists this year, perhaps even gi*eater care was taken as was the desire of the Department, consequently those who have been succesvsful, have well earned it. In examining the lists we again find that the Alexandria Public

School sending up three candidates, all were successful, and that the Separate School System of Alexandria with 17

' candidates passes 14, further that Ce- ^ cilia Bouchard of that school heads the county list with 580 marks out of a possible 650, for which pupil .~nd teacher deserve hearty congratulations Of those who wrote at Maxville, can- didates from the village PublicScho >1, who had been trained under MissShan- non, lately resigned, more than field their own, no less than fourteen -jecur- ing cerlilicates.

ClPim MAiSiNSIIIP 'that the Rifle Association made up

of representatives of the towns of Hawkesbury, Vankloek Hill and Alex- andria, is a live organization and is composed of good shots, has from time to time been noted in these col- umns on the occasions of their hold- ing friendly competitions. It is cus- tomary to visit èaeh other and thus not only come in contact with com- petitors, but meet other,citizens thus forming new acquaintances, w’ho are more or less interested in shooting.

On 'i'uesday last the Hawkesbury contingent did the honors having as their guests a quintet of Alexandrians in the persons oi Dr. J. T. Hope, Messrs. E. I. Tarlton, F. V. Massey, T. d. Gormley and W. Ashton, and the representatives of the Hill as well. It is probable that so far as high scor ing is concerned that day will stand out as a red letter day in the Associa tion’s history, and it is all the-more pleasing to us as \t was the Alexan- tions who established the record.There dria men, with but one or two excep- were thn*e positions in the shooting, the dead rest, off trie elbow and off hand. The aggregate s^re was as fol- lows ’—Alexandria 44^. Hawkesbury 401 and Vankleek Hill 372. Dr. Hope and Dr. Kirby, of Hawkesbury, tied for first place, making 93 out a pos- sible 105, while Mr, Massey, local manager of the Bank of Ottawa, was but one point behind. While in Haw- kesbury, the party made the King | George their headquarters. They meet | in another friendly competition at .Vankleek Hill on tne 15tfa of August.

Coronation Procession Exact Reproduation of Great Pageant at

C.N.E. this year

Wlien the Coronation procession was trailing its glorious lengths through the streets of London and holding the breathless attention of the hundreds of thousands gathered from all parts of the world to witness its historical grandeur, a little group of Canada^s leading citizens occupied one of the best stands. They w’ere unanimously of the opinion that it w’as the most striking spectacle tney had ever seen. When they were informed that it would be reproduced in every detail at the Canadian National Exhibition their enthusiasm was boundless. It touched their national pride that Canada pos- sessed an institution of such magni- tude that it could undertake the repro duction of the greatest procession of the twentieth century and of such re- putation that the undertaking of it would mean its fulfilment t© the last letter.

A remarkable record of 656 mar- riages in^ Windsor during a period of three months ending with June 30 is set by figures just given out. ITae record has ' nearly doubled the figures for the eame period during 1910. The record includes hundreds of couples who had the knot tied in Windsor to avoid the publicity un- avoidable in the Dnited States.

WILSON’S

CUUUEUPUNUEUCE To the Editor of The News.

Dear Sir,— v “THE ADVANTAGES OF A NEARER

MARKET.”

This was the heading of a short editorial in your paper of last w jok in which you stated irom the “Trade Re- turns’- that Canada shipped for the fiscal year 1911, ending the Jlsi of March, $9000 wortn of eggs to Brit- ain and $11,.500 worth to the United States—with a five cents tariff against us—thus endeavoring to show that the nearer market even in the face of this duty is the more advantageous one

The News did not give the question evidently much study or he would have found* "^thM the egg market of Canada is not dependent on the de- mand in Great Britain,, the United States or any other country now, as it was years ago. 'fhe NationalPolicy has by its protection to Canadian in- dustries and manuhictures built a home market for eggs, as well as other*pro- ducts of the farm at large centres such as Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, and many other cities and towns in Canada. The price of eggs to-day is indeed a living evidence of the value of protection to the farmer and an im- portant asset o*î the farm. In 4ruth the poultry industry fias done fully its share towards the present prosperous condition of the farmers of Canada, The farmer’s wife can substantiate this statement.

The News invited its readers to con- sult the Trade Returns, I have done so and find they clearly establish th« value of the home market. In 1902, we shipped to Great Britain 11,353,688 dozens, value $1,691,024. In 1902, we shipped to the United States 237,435 dozens, value $35,764. In 19U w*e ship ped to Great Britain 7057 dozens on- ly, the value $2428, and to the United States in 1911, we shipped 24,688 doz- ens, value only $6927. No one will be silly enough to say the hen industry had gone out of business and that we had none to ship. No, the market was at the door and tnere the eggs were sold at a better price.

Document Number 849, page 128 fur- nished to the United States Senate by the Board of Experts, named by that body to prepare information relating to the various articles named in the Canadian Reciprocity measure, states that the producers average price for eggs per dozen in January, 1911, in Lancaster, New Hampshire, was 23c. and about opposite in Sherbrooke, in the Province of Quebec, 28c., in East Port, Maine, 30c., nnd opposite in St. Stephen, N.IL, 30 to 35c.

The point the News wanted to make was to show that the price of eggs is “sure to go up with a bound,” when Mr. Fielding’s Reciprocity agreement comes into force and allows the eggs to enter the United States market tree. This argument would have some force if the United States could not supply their own market, but the facts are that they can and have abundance to send to Canada and other countries. The returns ^^ich our friend asks us to consult show that the UnitedStates shipped to Canada alone, in 1911, 2,- 212,727 dozens, value $417,8.57 in the face of our three cents per dozen duty. Question — “What will our prices be when the duty is taken off, if the Fielding reciprocity act will become law ?”

The same argument precisely, if pro- perly thought out, will prove the loss the farmer will sustain in nearly ev- ery other article the farm produces for market, but I would be leaning too much on my friend’s good nature in asking space in his paper or answering more than the egg question, which he advanced.

Yours truly, - Donald McMillan.

Alexandria, 25th July, 1911.

It is characteristic of the critics of Mr. Fielding ,• and the Laurier Govern- ment that they take to themselves, under the general title of “Protec- tion,” the credit for the accomplish ments of the Liberal Administration. Mr.Fielding has been in ofTici^ during all the time that Canada has been filling up ând overtaking the home supjily of eggs, and Senator McMillan and his friends have been all that time pro- claiming them unfit for their places and opposing the measures which have had this result—yet they claim credit to themselves for the result achieved. It is true that the West has filled up under the present regime, that the cities.have filled up in con- sequence, and that therefore the farm- ers’ nearest market is bigger and bet- ter than ever before. IVhen Reciproc- ity (which the Editor of Glengarry’s Home Journal, thoroughly believes in) comes, the improvement in all three directions will be greater than ever.

How was it from 1S7S to 1896, w'hen the tariff was in other hands ? If it is bad to sell eggs out of the country, then we were badly off indeed. From 1882 to 1890 we never sold less than ten rffillion dozen eggs to the dilates, and twice it went over fourteen mil- lions. The McKiniey Bill killed the trade, but by 1896 we were selling nearly six million dozens to England, and later the organization effected un- der the auspices of Hon. Mr. Fisher brought it up to eleven millions again with the help of the Dingley Tariff. Canadian eggs will aell wher- ever the price for them is best. Reci- procity opens a larger market at cur doors in which they can be ^old >f the demand is good—and eggs are the bet- ter for being sold quickly. — Editor

Of Interest ^ ^

^ ^ to Women

♦I**!**I**.**I*v*I*v*4*v*i*

FASHIONS KaiTings are daily growing in popu*-

iarity, since among the young women of to-day the good word has gone forth that shell-like ears may be ad- orned without resorting, as their grand mothers did, to the painful necessity of the punctured lobe. Pearl and jet earrings seem to be the most worn of the variety known as drop earrings. A distinct novelty which seems to be making a strong bid for favor is the golden circlet.

('hallies, lawns and all the other cot ton fabrics, which appear with Orient- al or Dresden borders, can be fashion- ed most attractively. Waists may be made either after the popular peasant model, wherein the border is made to extend across the bust and down the length of the elbow sleeves, or else with a surplice effect, with the border- <fd sides arranged to form a V-shapod neck, which may either be left open or filled in by lace, eyelet embroidery or a section of the plain part of the ma- terial itself. The srjrt is usually cut so that the border extends the length

■of the hem.

It is rather wonderful to observe the popularity of the ojio-piece suit of thin blue serge. Jt has been amazingly de- velope<l in the last few weeks, and has all manner of individual touches that make it worth while. It is a good kind of gown for every woman to include in her wardrobe. It may not stand lor any one occasion. It is just the kind of gown that is available for all -changes of climate and unexpected trips. It can be worn with or without a coat, and in many ways pays for it- self over and ovei*. The favorite mo- del is an Empire skirt,’ more or less wide at the hem, according to our new measurements, which run from a yard and a half to two yards and a quart- er. The panel down the back is rarely eliminated and the fastening is in front. There may be folds of the serge or surah or taffeta, either in blue or black, to cut off the length, and if one is averse to a narrow skirt, fashion allows an inserted box-plait at each side from hips down. The skirt, ris- ing moderately on the bodice, is stit- ched to it with three rows of machine stitching. It is hung on a four-inch band of silk belting which is fastened with hooks and eyes in front. The bodice is also attached to this belt- ing, which preserves a neat look around the waist, atlhoiigh the skirt does not curve in to fit. The cut of the bodice is much fuller than it has been. The short kimono sleeves are used and the underarm seam is long, but there are tucks or plaits that run over the shoulder, or begin at the waist and make for fulness over the bust and under arms. The arrange- ment of the neck is a matter of indiv- idual preference, and there is always an under-sleeve, or the simulation of one at the elbow.

A new feature in the fashionable top coats of this year is the single-breast- ed fastening insicatt of the clumsy double-breasted one ; two thicknesses of heavy rough cloth is not conducive to an artistic silhouette. The buttons on the edge are better, and one gets warmth enough if they are not placed too far apart. Large ones should bo used that slip easily through long buttonholes piped with braid or satin Whenever the latter are somewhat or- namental, the result is quite attrac- tive. This touch seems to smarten the .whole,

¥99

There seems no end to the fashion Tor eyelet embroidery and it is used more on voile and marquisette than on muslin, possibly because one sees more of the former fabrics than of the o' latter. Plain white wash ma- terial is not even used for everyday frocks ; it has given way to striped muslins in violet and white, brown

iand ecru, black and white, blue and ''wïiite. There are many other combin- ations, both in stripes in pin dots and in circles, and one sees a dozen' of these gowns to one of the old-fashion- ed plain white lawn.

A dainty and very effective gown worn at a lawn party last week was of white batiste trimmed very daint- ily with toile de .7uoy (cretonne). The skirt was sti’aight and scant, gather- ed ever so slightly into the belt all around. This had three one-inch wide bands near the foot, the bands made up of a strip of the cretonne in a de- licate rose vino pattern between two stripes of old blue. A belt of the same kind went around the rather high waist. The waist was a little gather- ed affair, a .sort of'**baby^' waist, and it had a very graceful draped fichu edged with malines lace. The coat, of Directoire style, was of the cretonne with old-rose collar and revers. This coat had short tails. A big mushroom hat edged with tne cretonne and a white linen parasol banded with the same flowered material completed the costume.

Those who have grown weary of the sailor collar of Irisa crochet can hard- ly fail to be pleased by some charm- ing new collars on which filet lace is combined with the crochet. One of the simpler styles is rather small and has just a border of crochet between two and three inches wide around the filet.

but in more elaborate ones the two laces are worked logotlior into various complicated forms.

The only pins that are allowed with black hats are blacfe or white ones. Lai*ge hatpins are sold, especially the rhinestone ones, but are not consider-, ed as smart as the simple ones. The penny shoe button pin has come into its own again, both in white and bluck and .some well-dresrsefï women never wear anything else nnicss the color of the hat and the way the trimming is placoed demand a pin that matches straw. Different kinds of hatpins are inexcusable. One of metal and one of rhinestones in the same hat looks care less ; purple crystal and lumps of cor- al in the way of two ftatpins is far from good taste.

A most charming material is com- ing into favor again—the silk crepe and crepe de Chine. In the lighter weight it is especiarry well adapted for summer gowns and can be draped in- to the soft folds and lines that are so essential to the present style of dress. It is a fabric that might be said to be suitable for any sort of trimming and on which embroidery or lace shows to great actvautage. It also is so beautiful in itseff that if looks well without trimming, its color and tex- ture being quite snîTlcîent in most in- stances. The gowns that show fullness around the w’aist are easily carried out or treated in crepe de Chine, and one charming model in a pale rose pink hais quite a lot of fulness below the high belt. Thl.s gown is trimme<l with a most fascinating fichu ol the finest not and laco, finished in front, with a soft knot. The fichu falls over the wide, high belt of deep rose pink satin, on which are rhinestone buttons It is a gown that can be worn in the afternoon or evening, but if worn in the playtime should have a transpar- ent yoke of the finest net obtainable.

THE STOVE-LTFTKR.

Sometimes the stove-lifter gets out of place and is harcr to find when you need it most. Here is a good plan to keep it in place. Take a small chain, a long one, such as is u.sed to fasten keys to your person. Fasten the lifter to one end of the chain and the stove damper to the other end. It is al- in place, and the damper may be handled by pulling the chain, thus sav ing your fingers.

l.A I'.VD i'.IUXC .J AIiOTS.

It is often difficult to get the plaits of one’s dainty jabot ironed to suit. If a few moments with thread and

' needle in hand are spent before put- ting the jabot into the wash, the laundering will be simplified. Tack the plaits into place and then launder the dainty linen. A wondrous amount of trouble is saved by this simple ex- pedient. If there is a bit of Irish lace on your jacket, after it is laundered, pick out the figures with a fine cro- chet hook. This really pays well.

WASH A IJXKK PARASOL.

It is not at all difficult to launder a linen parasol. Have plenty of warm water, some pure white soap and a small scrubbing or nail brush. Set the open parasol in the bathtuo, put plen- ty of soap on the wet brush and then scrub the parasol, section by section, paying special attention to any part- icularly bad spots. Having gone all over the cover, rinse it well. If one has a bath spray, this is just the thing to use for the rinsing. Attach the rubber tubing to the faucet and spray the parasol tnoroughly with te- pid water. Now wipe off any superflu- ous moisture with a towel and set the parasol, still open, out in the hot sun If one has a piazza roof, it will serve as an admirable place. It is well to select a bright, sunny day, and if just after a rain has latct the dust, so much the better, for then there is no dust to interfere. The sun will soon dry the sunshade, which will be found as fresh as when new.

PREPA,RTi:i) BARTLITiT PEARS

Make syrup for preserving fruit. 'J'o make five quarts of syrup- take seven pounds granulated sugar and fire pints cold water ; put in pan on hot stove until thoroughly heated, but must not boil. Take ripe pears, fit (o eat in their natural state. Peel them care- fully, keeping them iu their original form, then split in halv’es and'futcut cores. Fill glass jars with peai's and pour over synjp (previously ruide). Cover tightly and place jar.s in sauce- pan with a little hay or straw be- tween jars to keep them from loueh- ing ; fill saucepan with cold \.'a'er, completely covering jars. Let water boil for fifteen minutes.

CORNMFAT. MUFFINS.

What is more attractive at a sum- j sumer breakfast with fresh berries and coffee than a plaXeful of tender corn- meal muffins ? The following is a trifle more expensive than the ordinary rule but the muffins are very much better than usual and as light and delicate as cake. Cream two heaping table- spoonfuls of butter with four table- spoonfuls of sugar. Add the y#lks of

thnv? eggs, then stir in two cupfuls of milk in which a teaspoouful of soda has been dissolved. Mix together one cupful of cornmeal and two teaspoon cupful of cornmeal and two tablespoon fuis of cream of tartar, and sift the mixture twuce. Beat the other ingre- dients into it and stir thoroughly to a smooth paste. Then fold in the whites left over after using the three egg yolks, and bake the batter in but- tered muffin tins in a rather brisk ov- en. *

SALMON ASPICS.

I'ake one pound of salmon and free it from bone and boil ; then make a thick sauce with one and one-half oun- ces of butter, two ounces of flour, one gill of milk, one gill of fish stock and three leaves of gcilatine ; season well with salt and pepper. Put this mix- ture into a saucepan with the fish and add a gill of cream ; stir all together Make an aspic j(flly, and line a mold, or several small molds witli it. I.et this set and then put in the fish mix- ture. Lay those aspics on a bed of small cres.s, and .seiwe with sliced cu- cumber.

IMPROVrrS HAM.

When boiling a ham add a teacupful of vinegar and about six cloves for each gallon of water. Let the hum cool in the water in which it has iK-en boiled and it will have a delicious flav’- or.

. (ÎREKX POTATO SOI I-TI.K.

Boil and mash eight large potatoes. T^ut through a ricer ; add two onions, two tablespoonfuls of minced ham cooked in olive oil or butter; {.{pper, salt, choppf‘d parsley', the yolk of tiiroe eggs, one cup of stock. prefer?.bly chicken ; stir in last the beaten wl Hes of the eggs ; l)ake in a llatish dish with a few bread crumbs which have been moistened in butter.

A NEW ]>Ti-:.

A greeti gage pie made without RTI

under-crust and served with whipped cream is dolicic)us. Cook the plums in sugar, pile them iîiro a sliallow earth- en baking dish, ai>d stretch a rich crust over the toj). An ordinary pie crust is good for the p\:rposc if but- ter is used instead of lard and a pinch of baking powder is added to make the crust rise in fiafey layers.

MlN^r PUNCH

The following recipe is quite accept- able wherever young people are gather ed together, and may be tried by a mother hostess who is facing the pro- blem of giving youngsters a good sup- per. This drink is a mint punch, and to make it one begins with extra strong lemonade, using five lemons and a cup of sugar to each quart of water After the lemonade is made mix it with ginger ale, using equal quantities of each. Pour this in the punch bowl over a block of ice. Wash sprigs of mint and bruise stems and lower lea- ves as this is necessary to bring out the flavor. Half an hour before serv- ing put the mint into the punch bowl, letting the top of each .sprig stand clear of the liquid.

CARE OF THE NAILS.

In the first place the nails should not be too long. Some prefer clipping to filing in which case a pair of nail clippers is advisable. Experienced clip- pers do not require the use of an em- ery board afterward so cleanly do they cut. Be careful in either clipping or filing to shape the nails if allowed to remain. After semnbing t'ho shape of the finger. Eccentric shaping of nails is to be rejected as conspicuous and very bad form. In polishing the nails use some reliable powder in conjunc- tion with a greasy polish, the latter being designed to keep the nails from becoming brittle. Be careful to re- move all trace.<* of powder or polish- ing material from the cuticle at the base of the nail and from the corners, as it produces an unhealthy condition resulting in hang-nails if allowed to remain. After .scrurihing the powder away with a nail brush, use the buffer lightly on the upper half of the nails only, so that it cannot lodge in the cuticle.

Somfe nail.s take on a much higher polish than others and require Mttle grooming. Do not rub the nails un- til the friction causes them to burn through to the flosli underneath, or they will become brittle and ribbed. All particles of dirt and dead cuticle should be removed from beneath the edge of the naiT.

Biting the nails is an execrable hab- it practised only by those unfortun- ates who are victims of nerves or who utterly lack self control. Radical mea- sures should be taken to bring about its abandonment, as it is not only re- pulsive to the obser^'e^ but is extreme ly dangerous to the one who practises it.

WHEN SUMMER COMES

GUARD YOUR BABY

The summer months are the most dangerous of the year for the little one. I’he complaints of tliis season come so quickly that often a preci- ous little life is beyon<l aid before the mother realizes baby is ill. Colic, diarrhoea and /chorera infantum are all rife at this time. The mother must guard her baby’s health every minute. She must be careful of his food and careful t«at his stomach is kept .sweet and his Dowels move re- gularly and freely. To do this noth- ing can equal Baby’s Own Tablets — they are mother’s best friend at all times of the year, but more e.speci- ally in the summer, when, if given occasionally, they act as a preven- tive of those dreaded summer trou- bles, or if they do come on sudden ly the Tablets will just as quickly remove the cause and baby will soon l>e well again. The Tablets are .sold by medicine dealer» or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine ('o., Brockville, OnU

The recent rains have been most welcome.

' Monday ovening's wind storm levell- ed several outbuildings and a number of trees in this locality.

While our councillors deliberate on the water problem, it does not follow that they mount the water wagon.

Messrs. McPhce, McLeod and Sa bourin were particularly -busy the early part of the week, and as a re- sult shipped out two carloads of mix- ed stock to the Montreal market.

• • • Citizens generally feel relieved that

the Glengarry Mills management hav- ing sufficiently advanced in the repairs being made to the dam, are now al- lowing the mill pond to fill up, thus materially assisting in preventing sick- ness which might otherwise have fol- lowed.

Many Ontario communities are now offering factory sites free of cost. While Alexandria as a community does not own acres of real estate, yet the same might be available at a very no- minal figure for factory site purposes. If a Board of Trade was a live organ- ization to our midst, here is where they could get busy to mutual aàvant age. , , *

In noting the organization of a branch of St. Joseph’s Society here in town, in our last issue, we inadvert- ently credited its formation to the ef- forts of Mr. Tardiff, of Ottawa, where- as that happy consummation was brought about by Mr. J. M. Lemieux of that city, with the result that the society starts out with upwards of thirty members. Their place of meet- ing, we understand, will be Alexander Hall.

If you have a well on your lot in this time of scarcity of water causing low wells, etc., it is the correct and proper thing to have a test made of the water used for drinkiug aud culin- ary purposes. During the past few days some eleven or twelve samples were forwarded the Provincial Board of Health, I’oronto, to be analyzed aud the returns received go to show; that the tap water pumped through bur mains is the purest of all samples forwarded with that of the Black Lake a close second. Of the nine samples of well water examined, three were pro- nounced good while the balance con- tained bacteria.

Few men engaged in mining pursuits in Cobalt and the Porcupine distinct are better or more favorably known than Mr. Neil McDonald, formerly of Glen Nevis. His is a commanding ap- pearance and the genial way he re- ceives one is sufficient introduction to cement friendship. Glengarrians who happened to be in Porcupine at the time of the disastrous fire, as might be expected of them, rendered heroic assistance in the saving of life and pro perty and in this regard Neil McDon- ald was so prominent, saving as he did several lives, at the immediate risk of his own, that he has since been the recipient at the hands of a num- ber of admirers and grateful friends, of a magnificent ttme piece which, it goes without saying, he values immen- sely.

The new stndard rules will come into operation over the G.T.R. Sys- tem on August 6th next.

The Glengarry Mills resumed opera- tions Tuesday, having in the mean- while let down sufficient water from the upper dam.

Mr. Cameron is a native of Vankleek Hill, and was elected to the Ontario Leguslature in 1902. He is at the head of several large commercial undertakings and his wealth, public experience and high character emin- ently fit him for the position.

The Semi-Weekly Telegraph publish- ed at St. Johns, N.B.^ in its issue of the 22nd inst., contained an interview given that paper by Mr. F. C. Nun- nick, B.S.A., who some months ago resigned the post of district represen- tative of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, here, to assume an im- portant position in the Lands Depart- ment of the Commission for the Con- servation of natural resources, Otta- wa. Mr. Nunnick, we note, was home- ward bound after a tour of the West, but was spending a sfiort time in New Brunswick investigating and giving in- structions along the line erf agricultur- al work. In speaking of his work, Mr Nunnick said he was paying particular attention to the methods employed by the farmers in the rotation of crops, seed selection, production and care of mamji'G and also looking into the in- sect pest and plant disease and the fuel, power and wa«or supply of farms The more he studied the work the more he said he became impressed with the great necessity of it. Speak- ug of his visit to the West hé told the reporter that it had been favored with an abundance of rain and that the western farmers wei*e looking for- ward to a record bre(iking wheat crop at least 200,000,000 bushels being ex- pected.

An announcement has just been made that will not please the many former York Loan investors of this vicinity. It is to the effect that the second dividend to the creditors will not be paid before about next •July — a year hence. This coming from an official source is not very satisfactory..

Hon. F. W. G. Maultain, leader of the Conservative Opposition in Sas- katchewan, declined the office of honorary vice-president of the Con- servative Association of that prov- ince, because thë convention passed resolutions endorsing the Borden platform in regard to reciprocity. Hon. Mr. Haultain took the. stand that reciprocity would benefit West- ern Canada and was willing to sink all party prejudices if in anyavay he could, with his party strength add some encouragement to the agree- ment. Indications are that thous- ands of Conservatives are prepared to vote against their party candi- dates at the coming- elections.

There continues to come from all parts of western (’anada most opti- mistic reports regarding the crops. From many districts they talk of an expected yield oi thirty to forty bushels of wheat per acre and of 'fif- teen to twenty bushels of flax. The weather seems to have been all that could be desired ever since seeding. Wheat is beginning to head out nice- ly, and although a . il!e damage from hail is reported from here and there, it is on the whole very slight. The abundance of rain throughout the season has kept western pasturage in excellent condition, with the result that stock grazing has been the best in several vears.

SEMI-JUBIIEE OF REV. A. i MacLEDD, BRIGHTON

The following news item clipped from The Presbyterian of Toronto, will prove interesting reading to Mr. Mc- Leod’s many Glengarry friends. Mr. McLeod was born near Ijaggan, and was formerly a member of St. Colum- ba Church, Kirk Hill. He was present at the General Assembly held in Otta- wa early in June, and then paid a short visit to bis old home.

St. Andrew’s Cîhurch, Brighton, celebrated the semi-jubilee of their pastor, the Rev. A. K. Mcl^od on the 2nd and 4th nisr. On Sabbath the 2nd tlie Rev. Dr. Buchanan, formerly of India, conducted the services, which were enjoyed by large and appreciative congrega- tions. On the Tuesdfiy evening fol- lowing the congregation gave a banquet in the town hall in honor of Mr. and Mrs. McLeod. The hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion, the music was of a high order, the addresses of congratula- tions given by representatives of the Presbytery, the session. Board of Managers, resident, and visiting ministers of sister churches, were much appreciated and the tables literally “groaned under the weight of the' feast.” It was an unique occasion. Invitations had been issued to friends far and near. On the invitation cards appeared an excellent photogravure of Mr. Mc- Leod, and St. Andrew’s Church, and a list of the officers of the various departments of church work in 1886 and 1911. The only name which appeared in both years was that of the pastor as moder- ator of session. Either they have removed beyond the bounds of the congregation, were unfit for active service by reason of age ; or they have passed over to the great ma- jority. Such are the changes which a quarter of a century brings.

noble work. Both Mr. and Mrs. McLeod are an influence for good in Brighton. During his pastorate seem as if they were good for Mr. McLeod has more than held his own both as a man and as a minister. As a citizen he has taken a part in all that tended to the good and welfare of the com- munity ; and as a minister of the gospel he has held to the determi- nation of knowing nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. As ^ pastor he excels, keeps abreast of the times as a student, and is ever ready to bear his share of re- sponsibility and work in his Pres- bytery. That at tne close of twenty- five years the people still hold both the minister and the minister’s wife in high esteem was evidenced by the ladies of the W.F.M.S. presenting Mrs. McLeod with a life-long certificate of membership in the society ; and the congregation presenting Mr. McLeod with a well filled purse of gold. Mrs. McT-vood replied for herself, as also Mr. McLeod, in suitable terms. Mr. li. J. Ross presided most efficiently, in the absence of the chairman, S. G. M. Nesbitt, Esq., M.P.P., and was accord ed a hearty vote of thanks.

OBITUARY Mrs. Hilaire Lalonde.

Me are this week called upon to chronicle the death of Millitime Cur- rier, beloved wife of Mr. Hilaire La- londe, 1st Lochiel, which sad event occurred on Tuesday of this week. De- ceased, who was 65 years of age at the time of her death, was a native of Boulanges, being born at the Cedars. Besides her husband she is survived by six sons and three daugh^rs, in the persons of Messrs. George, Arthur, Os car, Ulric, Maxime and Charle, Mes dames M. Pilon, I>. Sabourin and J Seguin, also by four brothers and three sisters, Mr. :Cephir Currier, /an esteemed citizen being among the for- mer.

The fuueral to the Church of the Sacred Heart and cemetety, took place at ten o'clock yesterday morn- ing and the large and representative attendance of mourners was silent tes timony of the esteem and regard en- tertained in their hour of trial for the bereaved relatives. V

The officiating clergyman was Rev J. W. Duliii.

The pall-bearers were Messrs. IVf tee Isaie, and Joachin I^alonde, B. Duval John and Fabien Guerrier.

Miss Catherine McDonald. At the residence of her sister, Mrs.

D. B. Kennedy, Kenyon St., on Mon day of this week, after a somewhat protracted illness, which entailed sev- eral months confinement to her room; and which was borne with Christian fortitude, the death occurred of Miss Catherine McDonald, aged 73 years.

Deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. Donald McDonald, l6-.3rd Kenyon and for upwards of thirty-five years had resided with her sister, who toge- ther with two brothers, Alexander on the homestead, and John D. of thie place, are left to mourn her loss.

The funeral to St. Finnan’s Cathe- dral and cemetery, took place Wednes- day morning. Rev. Wm. Fox officiat- ing. The attendance was large and representative.

The pall-bearers were Messrs. D. J. McDonald, 3rd Kenyon, Donald McDon aid, 4th Kenyon, Duncan, Dan and Vincent McDonald and Alex. McMil- lan.

Among those from a distance were Mrs. Dennen, of Ogdensburg, N.Y.,Miss M. Campbell, of Ottawa, and Miss Tena McDonald, of Montreal.

Miss Annie Wocker. iVfter a long illness, endured with

so much patience and thoughtful re- gard for those friends who ministet- ed to her with loving solicitude, ti:at she made the bonas of affection still stronger, Annie May Wocker, passed away from earth on Saturday morn- ing, July 15, 1911, at her home in Fort William. Her father and mother, Mr. aud Mrs. E. A. Wocker, and three sisters, Alice, Gertrude and Mary, will have the sympathy of all in the loss of the loving daughter and sister. In January last Annie contracted a cold and since her last day at the Collegiate Institute, early in that month, has been confined to her home. Inflammatory rheuma- tism weakened her fieart, and, though she rallied several times, never re- gained her strength, but, in the bright sun-room arranged for her, she was active up to the last, in per- formibg daily service for those she loved, sewing and making gifts for those who sent her books and flowers to make her days pass more bright- ly. Her day and Sunday school mates will grieve to miss her, and her cheery, thoughtful presence will long be remembered.

At 2 o’clock, Monday morning, the funeral of Annie May Wocker took place from the family residence 238 S. I

Mr. Sandy McDonell.

The death occurred on Sunday, the 23rd inst., of the late Mr. Sandy Mc- Donell, at the residence of his son, Mr. John A. McDonell, 7-3rd Kenyon. Deceased, who was 67 years of age at the time of his death, was born on lot 6-3rd Kenyon, being a son of the late Col. Angus McDonell. For the past two or three years he had not been enjoying good health, and for close upon four months, prior to his death, was confined to his room.

He is survived by his widow, two sons, John A. and Alexander, of 7-3rd Kenydh, and one daughter, Mrs. Al- bert McIntyre, of Apple Hill. A bro- ther, Mr. Alex. McDonell, of New bury, Mich., and one sister, Miss Bella McDonell, are also left to mourn his loss.

Tile funeral to St. Finnan’s Cathe dral and cemetery took place Tuesday morning at nine o’clock. Rev. Wm. Fox officiating.

The pall-bearers were Messrs. Dougal Cameron, J. D. McMillan, D. N. Mc- Donald, Wm. Kennedy, Duncan McDon- ald and Allan McDonald.

To the bereaved we extend our sym- pathy.
