There followed the time when Mrs.
Phil w&uld look up from the table af
ter a meal and say it with a glint In
her eye “When are you going to put
that shelf in the clothes closet?” The
reply was always the same, “Well, I
ean’t do it today but next Monday
yight after ’dinner I’ll do it * < Then
as if to clinch the promise, “I have
just the board too,. Found it yester
day and put it to one side,”
Later came the arguing stage, when
Mrs, Phil would open the closet door
and say with sarcasm, “I’m glad you
put the shelf there, because that’s
right where it’s handiest of all.” There
had to be something to counteract
that, and argument was always the
best bet, ’’Now I think the shelf
W'ould be better up about six inches”
, . . and the‘argument went oii until
jt was .time to leave the house.
Shame entered into the picture
when Mrs. Phil was perceived lugging
a board, a saw and a hammer out of
the driving-shed this morning. Look
ing neither to right nor left, she was
heading for the house, Knowing full
well what the results would be, I stop
ped to gather up the tools. When I
arrived Mrs. Phil was trying to get a
twelve foot board inside the tiny clos
et, evidently for the purpose of doing
all the work right inside, • She handed
it all over, and so I went to work'.
What a -task to get that board saw
ed right . , , planed on the edges . . .
bevelled nicely . . . fitted tight . , and
finally braced into place with cleats
on the walls,
There were tools all over the 'place.
Shavings littered the floor, and at
least three trips had to be” made to
the driving shed for just the proper
kind of nails. Then I found myself
wanting to put in at least six more
shelves. < I

This writing is a plea for you to
purchase HThe Life and Letters of
Walter Hinds Page,” Letter are the
truest transcripts of life. This man’s
letters toCthe President q( the United
t States at that tim.e, to Co^bAdl House,
the Presides ^opfi^nt, and the oc
casional letters to members ‘ of his
family, are letters evidencing rare vis
ion, cool courage, righteous indigna
tion, yea verily, democracy at its best.
Passages so pplsate with what is
being duplicated today, that they read
like tomorrow's headlines- His inter
pretation of the Englishman is exact
and informing, His perpetual inter
mingling with representatives of all
countries finds him garnering opin
ions from afar; and running these, in
sequence through tlie mental mill of
his active mind, he evolved a world
pabulum symtomatic of perilous days.
These and kindred acquisitions of
J knowledge involving perplexing prob
lems relating to the war. he took to
his grate fire at night, where hour fol
lowing hour his brain (battled for a
^solution. His humiliation following
upon the’ sinking of the Lusitania,
when one hundred and twenty of his
fellow-cpuntrymen sank in the sea,
sorely tried his swift sense of justice,
Letter upon letter, from his flying pen
dipped more frequently in the' boiling
blood of his heart, than in the cool ink
of procrastination, he sent with cour
age and clarity, to his President, seek
ing with unrelenting urgings a declar
ation of war with Germany. Literally,
as days became weeks, weeks months;
and months grew to years, this daring
devotee of democracy, burned down
the brilliant candle of his career in
London, to raise his country to the
respect of the world. He succeeded
before he succumbed. ^Tearfully tragic

Why is^that, a man always makes,
excuses when a woman wants some
thing repaired or made?
■ That’$,,a?’question ithat . has always
puzzled me. For instance Mrs. Phil
has wanted a shelf in a clothes closet
for about a year. On Sn average of
twice a week she has remembered the
proposed shelf and called it to my at
tention, At first, being like every othr
er man I tried to make the idea ap
pear foolish. The plaster would crack
with a nail. The shelf would keep the
door from closing. A shelf would just
collect dirt and odds and ends of
trash, But that only worked for so
,long.
Then came^he viewing stage. Each
time that me question came up there
followed a period of deliberation, The
closet had to be examined and meas
urements ’taken and calculation made
on the white plaster wall. Somehow
it seemed a grave problem . . ♦ that
simple job of fitting a shelf into place
in the clothes closet By prolonging
the operation, an excuse could always
be found for either doing some other
work or else walking off in the dir
ection of thcdrivin'glislftjSasif to'get
a board.

Down in the mid-south, where sun-

whisper nightly to the restless stars;

Unintermittent contact with nature,
in her ever varying moods wherein

GAMBLING GAVE
US SANDWICHES
The Earl of Sandwich has been
credited for over a century, with one
of the* most satisfactory inventions in
human history. It is said that when
he was too busy to leave the gamb
ling table for regular meals, he used
to call for a slab of meat between two
slices-of bread,.and thus the sandwich
got its name.
From its first, primitive form, the
sandwich has been getting more and
more civilized. It now is found in all
shapes and sizes, in various colot
scheme and a, wide variety of flavor-
some fillings. From the dainty one-
bite type to; the hearty kind coinpris-
ing two whole slices of bread (with
Crusts’ and plenty of filling, sandwich
es play an important role in our diet.
Here, with an eye to Lent, are some
of the hearty type for school
working peoples' lunch boxes.

CONTROL OF LICE
AND SKIN DIS- ft
EASES OF CATTLE
(Experimental Farms News)
There are many troublesome handi
caps in providing comfort to live
stock particularly regarding the prev
alence of lice and skin diseases, states
D. A. Finlayson, Dominion Experi
mental Station, Lennoxville, Que.
With special reference to cattle, very
few animals come into the barn in the
fall entirely free from lic.e, and unless
prompt attention is given at this
time, these parasties multiply and
cause uiithriftiness, There are a nttm-
ber of efficient remedies on the mar
ket, either in the form of a wash or a
dust. Owing to the difficulty in mak
ing a thorough application with the
dust, a wash with some creolin type
disinfectant is to be preferred in wea
ther that is not-extremely cold. Dur
ing winter, however, it is usually ad
visable to use a dust.
The practice followed at the Dom
inion Experimental Station, Lennox
ville is to wash all cattle at the time
of stabling in the fall, with a solution
of Kerol. The treatment is repeated
at an interval of tjvo weeks to kill the
lice that hatch after the previous ap
plication,
In this way most of the lice are de
stroyed before cold weather sets in.
If the eradication has not bee com
plete, a dust treatment is given at sim
itar intervals during the, winter. To
facilitate ^effective ; treatment, the
heads and' necks of the animals are
clipped.
Skin irritation, such as ring-worm,
itch or rash cause much discomfort to
cattle, and result in tower , milk yields
or smaller gains in fleshing. Remed
ies for these conditions are generally
well-known and if supplied at the out
set are effective. The important part
is to prevent the start of these dis
eases by regular grooming and period
ical disinfection of grooming equip
ment. If trouble starts in the herd, a
special effort should be made to clear
it up immediately, for once establish
ed, troubles of this nature are ex
tremely difficult to control. The treat
ment used at the Lennoxville Experi
mental Station is to apply raw linseed'
oil to affected parts, to soften the
scabs and scurf. This is followed by
an application of a mixture of petrol
eum jellyt sulphur and small amount
of Kerol. Sanitary precautions are
taken in the way of disinfecting the
equipment; grouping infected animals
and segregating>them,as much as pos
sible from those that have not come
in contact’ with'the disease.
