Rheumatism and Lumbago Mr. Wm, Parker, 105 Cayuga street, Brantford, Ont., tells in the following letter of his remarkable experience with Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills :—"My doctor treated me for some time for Sciatica, Rheumatism, Lumbago, but to no purpose, for I had to lay off work. The visiting officer of Sick Benefit called to see me and advised the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, stating that he had been cured of the same trouble by their 'use. 1 asked the druggist about them and he recommended them. highly. Not being satisfied with this, 1 went back to my doctor, and when he said they were good I began their use. The promptness with whicli they enlivened the action of the kidneys and bowels was wonderful, and it was not long before 1 was rid. of all my trouble, 1 had awful, sharp pains in the lower part of my back and. left hip, and was po bad that 1 could only walk by hanging on to a chair or the wall. My wife had to lace my shoes. Only those who have had this ailment can realize the way 1 suffered. 1 am writing this letter to let people who have my trouble know of these pills. You are at liberty to use this letter, and if anyone interested will call or write to me 1 Will give every detail." " • When you have pains and aches put Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills to the test.

His duties, often delegated to as- sistants, of course, .inelude tbe in- spection of squads of soldiers being conveyed by train from one district of the country to another, in order to keep their foolish women folk from passing bottles of beer and spirits to them, well acquainted with the fact that this is forbidden, and that if the men are caught receiving the bottles they will be punished, Then officers from, the staff of the Provost Mar- shal inane the week -end visits to Brighton, Maidenhead, and the other popular resorts, going into the music halls and the variety theatres to see that the members of the Volunteer Training Corps do not attend these places in uniform. It the uniformed men are discovered the Provost Mar- shal's deputies order then n to leave at once. His representatives attend police court proceedings to superintend Personally the prosecution of soldiers arrested for offenees such as being intoxicated or discovered in the at- tempt to cheat the War Department by making false statements concern- ing the number of dependents en- titled to Government allowance. , The Provost Marshal's best 'work has been in closing up the disreput- able night clubs, dens of vice which flourishes in London by the hundred, especially after the early-clesing laer was passed, which forbade hotels and restaurants to serve liquors after midnight. In the Soho district there were 200 of these night clubs, many of there places where no man's pock- et -book was safe. Young subalterns, home on short leave and with no re- latives in London, were easy prey to the temptations of such places, often being separated from their pay in a few hours of gambling and drinking. Such plubs as Murray's or the Four Hundred, or Ciro's in the neighbor- hood of Regent street, were conduct- ed with more publicity and at greater expense, numereue men and women Iwell known in soeiety congregating to seek gayety after the depression of war, but the unsophisticated young soldier would generally seek a less brilliant place .where the police were not Welcome. Through Lord Ath- lumney a crusade against these night clubs was inaugurated in Parliarannt as a prdtection to the men who are fighting for their country.

Ten adres dropped as follows will Ariel a profit at the end of the year that the Man On the ordinary 100 acre farm can - the result is that there is not a scarcity ; of help. Science has proven that a :nen i,vill do as much in an eight-hour day as in ten hours. The old method of farming is fast giving way to the new method of shorter days and more amusement. 1 This is made more possible by the ad- vent of the small farm Another big item to be considered when comparing the small and the large farm are the buildings required. The man on the large farm has an out- lay of between $2,000 and $3,000 for buildnigs, as against $1,000 which will toyer the buildings nn the small place. The 100 acre man requires a large barn to house his stock and crop. A large shed for his expensive machinery, while the ten -acre man only requires a small stable and tool house. Then in the case of the house, the 100 -acre farmer has to have room for his extra help. The ten acre farmer has nothing to do with his hired help in his home. , Th s makes • it more pleasant for the whole family. The proposition of the smalt-farm is appealing more strongly every year to • the goethead man. Whether he lives in country or city, men are beginning to see that farming is not all drudgery, and that as a business venture, the small farm cannot be beaten for the man with only a small capital on which to Make a start. When we read of men clearing net profits of $2,500 and $3,0( 0 from smell farms, we begin to sit up and take notice, By reducing the size of the farms, the poor man will be able to own bis own farM; therefore there Will be fewer tenants, and the iand ,will be worked to greater advantage. It requires a man with a buSinese in- stinct to make any farm pay. Nowhere More so than on the small farm. Practi- cal methods must be followed to make it a success. Land is increasing in value every day, and the importance of intensified farming cannot be ever - es tiniated. -D. M. Mc13.

One of the interesting financial state- ments which has been sent to the city this winter is that of the Crowfoot Farming Company, a firm which oper- ates a comparatively small tract of land at Crowfoot, Alberta, says the Winni- peg Free Press. This document has been passed by chartered accountants and purports to set forth the operations of the company for the years 1912, 1913, and 1914. he final returns for 1915, which in the future will be known as the wonder year in the history of this country, not being available. The Crowfoot Company has had for the past ;few years about 1,300 acres in wheat, and between 200 tine 250 acres in oats exact statistics for each year bsing supplied m the statetnent The total operating and general expenses of the farm for 1912, including interest Ett The Cockney in the Country. 6 per cent., were $12,587; for 1913, $17, - By name Bill Brown, he was a Londoner born and bred, but he sal- lied forth into the country in search of work. In due time he !net a farna- er, and into his sympathetie ear poured forth his request for a job. "All right," said the man of acres; "just round up those sheep, and get 'era all into that fold. When you've done that I'll find your another job." Two or three hours later a weary, tattered form presented itself at the farmer's door. It was the Londoner, wet with perspiration and weak from exhaustioe. "You've been a. mighty long time!" thundered the farmer. "What have you been doing?" "You come and see, sir," request- ed Bill Brown. The farmer did as he was told, and duly appeared at the fold. Looking over the high, close fence he noticed a hare penned up among the sheep, and asked the reason. "What, that little earl?" asked Bill. "Why, he's the beggar who gave me all the trouble!"

The ex- penses per acres of land in crop in 1912 was $7.80, in 1913 it was $11.57, and in 1914, $11.70. The total receipts for the successive years were $15,531 in 1912. $30,661 in 1913, and $26,821 in 1914. The percentage earned upon capital in- vested in 1912, 63 per cent.; 10 1918, 30 per cent.; and in 1914, 18 per cent. In the latter year tonsiderably grain was carried over, and the real return on the investment was 29 1-3 per cent. The Crowfeet Company has nothing to sell, except the product of its land, and there is consequently noreason why its statements should be made mislead- ing. The company is apparently capit- alized at less than moo, and it would be interesting to know at what figure the land is quoted, and whether similar Alberta property is noW much higher. The net earnings for the company for 1915 will without doubt considerably ex- ceed the entire capital. • To lee Well Dressed Means to Do At tired In Good Taste, Ilene: Is a subject frequently In Gee minds oi many.

Peanuts for Cattle. Peanuts, known in Great Britain as monkey nuts, are recommended as cattle food by the Imperial Insti- tute, after a series of experiments, , with a view to finding a eubstitute , for the higher-prieed foods. Before the war these nuts were imported in great quantities, both by Germany and France. They were crushed and pressed for their oil and the residue pressed into cakes for -cattle. tut England used only a small quantity, as the people, when they dat them at all, eat them raw, being ignorant of the fact they are improved by roasting. India, China, and Africa are great producers of peanuts, and they are being introduced into 13rit- , ish tropical` dependencies. Russian Art.
