Hardening of the Arteries
An Interesting Explanation of How This Dreaded
Condition is Brought About.
You take out the garden hose in the spring, turn on the water, and if the rubber has
got hard and brittle the tubing bursts and water spurts out in all directions.
The arteries of the human body may be likened to small rubber pipes, which go
everywhere through the body and carry blood to the hands and feet, as well as to the
nerves, muscles and vital organa. They carry all the blood in the human system, and
if this blood is burdened 'with the poisons left over when
the liver and kidneys are not properly performing their
filtering work, these poisons form a deposit on the inside
walls of the arteries.
The deposit thus formed gradually thickens and
hardens the walls of the arteries. The tiny blood vessels
of the liver are affected, and thence comes that fatal
disease—cirrhosis of the liver. The cells of the kidneys
'become starved for want of blood,0 and
Bright's disease gets its start.
In health the arteries ltaVe the elasticity
of rubber, and expand, contract or elon-
gate, as required by the demands of the
blood pressure. Hardened, the arteries
are like so much 'brittle rubber tubing.
The blood pressure comes on, the tubing
bursts, and the resulting blood clot on the
brain causes apoplexy.
It will be plainly seen that the
cause of trouble is in the inefficient
condition of the liver and kidneys.
When these filtering organs are
kept healthy and active, and the
bowels regular in the removal of
waste matter, there is no chance
for such dreadful conditions as
hardening of the arteries bring
about.
As in all forms of serious dis-
ease, prevention is the only wise course to fol-
low. You can positively depend on Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills to awaken the action of liver
and kidneys, and also ensure the regularity of
movement of the bowels. It is only by the ac-
tivity of these organs that the blood can be kept
pure and free from uric acid and other sub-
stances which form deposits in the arteries and
at other points in the human system, causing
pain, suffering and serious disease.
. When you think of the scores of common
ills, such as colds, indigestion, bilibusness, head-
aches, backaches, etc., which arise from a torpid
condition of these organs, you will better under-
stand the reason why Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver
Pills are the favorite family medicine in 'many
thousands of homes. By keeping the liver, kid-
neys an.d bowels active they cure the common
ills of life, and prevent serious disease. One pill

HOW TREY SLEEP
Most people sleep on the side,
knees drawn up.
Elephants always,. and horees corn
monly, sleep standing up.
Birds, with the exception of owls and
the hanging parrots of India, sleep
-with the head turned tailward over the
back, and the beak thrust Onong the
feathers between the wing and body.
Storks, gulls and other long-legged
birds, sleep standing on one leg.
Ducks sleep on open water. To avoid
drifting shoreward, they keep paddling
with one foot so that they move in a
circle.
Foxes and wolves sleep curled up,
the nose and the soles of the feet close
together, and blanketed by the bushy
tail.
Hares, snakes and .fish sleep with
their eyes wide open.
Owls, in addition to their eyelids,
have a screen that they draw side-
ways across their eyes to shut out the
light, for they sleep in the daytime.

There is a section of the prairie coun-
try out West where the thermometer
goes so low in the winter that it is
see—tiene.s spoken of as "the place
where cold weather is made." For
real frigidity, libwever, it cannot com-
pare with some other parts of the north-
ern world, of which it may be quite
truly said that they are the headquar-
ters of the Frost King.
The coldest place in the world is not
in any part of America, but in Siberia.
On the Canadian prairies the thermom-
eter sometimes drops to forty, fifty, or
even sixty degrees below zero, for one
or two days at a time; but in the Sib-
erian province of Yakutsk forty below
is a comparatively warm winter day,
and eighty and ninety below zero are
reached quite frequently.
Except for a thin top -soil in the
height of summer. the ground is always
frozen, and three feet below the surface
it is hard the year around. Freezing
up begins at the end of August; a
Month later, the country is under snow;
by the end of October the mercury is
down to twenty below; and for the next
five months the cold is so intense that it
is killing to all but the hardiest Ilfe.
A FRIEND'S ADVICE
If a pound of British money, entrusted
to e Canadian Committee to buy the
greatest possible amount of war ma-
terial, was allowed to be diverted to
Canadian private purses in. inordinate
profits, then the men guilty of this
sordid and despicable treason were
guilty of weakening by just so much
the fig'iting forces of the Empire in
the face of an appaling peril. They
might as well have gone to the trenches
and taken the rifles out of the hands
of our boys, fronting a German attack;
and then sold these rifles for their
personal profit to the first second-hand
dealer whom they net. this has
been done, the country wants to know
, it, regardless of legal technicalities or
partisan politics.
A thorough investigation into this
whole shell game should he set on foot
at once.
THE DOMINION BANK REPORT

The forty-fifth Annual General Meet-
ing of The Dominion Bank was held
recently at the Head Office in Toronto,
when a large number of the Share-

A very satisfaetory feature of the
report which was submitted is the fact
that the Cash Assets amounted approx-
imately 27 per cent of the total liabil-
ities to the public. This is nearly 5

TO CONTROL SMUT IN WHEAT.
HE STRUCK IT
RIGHT AT LAST
More Than One Treatment May Be
Used in Killing the Disease.
There is more than one taeatment
that may be used for controlling
smut in wheat. One is the hot water
method, where you beat your water
to a temperature of about 145 de-
grees F. and then put in the wheat
and let remain for about five min-
utes. Another method is the forma-
lin treatment. The formalin may be
got at any drug store at a cost of
from 75 cents to 90 cents per pound,
or cheaper when bought in quanti-
ties. One pound is sufficient for forty-
five .br afty bushels of grain. It
should be used at the rate of one
ounce to three gallons of water, and
as a rule one gallon is sufficient to
treat one bushel of grain.
The wheat seed may be treated by
spreading tho grain in thin layers on
a smooth floor, canvas, or on the hard
ground and sprinkling with diluted
formalin so as •to thoroughly wet the
grain with the mixture. Then shovel
the grain thoroughly for a few times
to insure an oven distribution of the
solution. The wheat should then be
cbvered with bags or blankets to
keep the fumes of the formalin with-
in. It should stand in this way for
from six to twelve hours and should
then be dried thoroughly by spread--
ing out in thin layers and stirring
frequently. The seed is then ready
for sowing.

follows—Dividends at 12 per cent
per annum $720,000, Contribution to
Officers' Pension Fund $25,000 leaving
a balance carried forward to 1916 of
$344 429.
Note circulation shows a big increase
due, no doubt, to the interest of the
Bank in the movement of the Western
Wheat crop, which was particularly
active last year.
The report is one of the strongest ever
presented by the Dominion Bank to its
Shareholders, and emphasizes the
position of strength occupied by this
well known Institution.
Postage stamp sales in Lendon have
ju mped from $125,000 in 1914 to over
$250,000 in 1915, largely owing to the
number of postcards and letters sent by
soldiers.
SOMETIMES
Sometimes I long for a lazy isle
Ten thousand miles from home,
Where the warm sun shines and the
blue skies smile
And the milk -white breakers foam- -
A coral island, bravely set
In the midst of the Southern sea,
Away from the hurry and noise and fret
Forever surrounding me!
For I tire of labor and care and fight,
And I weary of plan and scheme,
And ever and ever my thoughts take
flight
To the island of my dream:
And I fancy drowsing the 'whole day
long
In a hammock that gently swings—
Away from the clamorous, toiling
throng,
Away from the swirl of things!
And yet I know in a littte while,
When thesthe first glad hours were
spent,
l'd sicken and tire of my lazy isle
And cease to be content!
I'd hear the call of the world's great
game --
The battle with gold and men—
And I'd sail once more, with a heart of
flame,
Back to the an again!

STORAGE HOPSE FOR SQUASH
Air Should Be Warm and Dry, and
Good Ventilation is Necessary.
An ideal storage house for squash
contains many series of shelves
where the squash may be laid out for
the free circulation of air. It should
be rat proof and should be provided
with a wood stove, so that the air
may be kept warm and dry. Ventila-
tion should be provided for, but keep
out the cold damp air or night and
keep everything closed up during
cold or rainy days. Moderately
warm, dry, even temperature of 50 to
55 degrees F. will cause the squashes
to harden up and keep in wonderful
condition provided they -have not re-
ceived even slight bruises when han-
dled or stings from the squash bug.
Any time the squashes are seen to
"sweat" do not imagine the moisture
is corning out of them. If the
squashes are cold and warm air
blows across them the warm air will
be cooled off, with the result that the
moisture which warm air carries will
be deposited upon the cold squash.
When such a condition arises close
up the ventilators and start a little
fire in the wood stove. This will
warm up the squash and the air al-
ready in the building, and no damp,
ness will be deposited.

Cultivate Sudan Grass.
Sudan grass should be cultivated
as soon as possible after the first crop
of hay is removed. A good stirring
of the soil at this time will be a great
help to the plants in making a good,
strong start toward the second crop.
If the ground has been kept clean
and free from weeds during the early
part of the growth of the first crop
it will not be necessary to cultivate-.
frequently during the growth of the
second crop. Just enough cultivation
to maintain the desired soil mulch
will be needed in this case. By the
time the first crop has matured the
plants have stooled and spread out in
. the row to such an extent that it
'makes any cultivation a much less
tedious operation for the second crop
than is the case with the young plants
during the early growth of the first
crop. Since the first crop is to be al-
lowed to stand for seed purposes, the
growing period of the second crop
will be shortened several weeks at
beet, and good cultivation will help
considerably toward increasing the
yield of the second cutting.
Home Economy.
It is a great help now that it is pa-
triotic to be economical, and those
who go in for the "simple life" can

The grants 'under the Agricultural

THAT REMARKABLE THREE -CENT
STAMP.
— ---
(Montreal Journal of Commerce)
Considering that Hon. T. Chase Cas -
grain for many months resisted the ob-
viously reasonable public demand for a
three cent postage stamp, to meet the
three cent rate established when the
war taxes were imposed when at last
he yielded and agreed to abate the
nuisance of requiring two stamps for the
payment of three cents, he might have
endeavored to make a better job of it
than the one that he has turned out.
For what reason it seems impossible to
imagine, Mr. Casgrain has not issued a
stamp distinctly asserting its three
cent character There is no viSible "3'
on it. One must resort to arithmetic to
discover the figure that should be clear
at the first glance.
The stamp is the ordinary two cent
stamp. showing the words 'Two Cents',
with the figure "2" at each of the
lower corners. In the middle of the
stamp, "lc" is impressed in white. If
there is anybody who can explain why a
stamp was not issued bearing distinct-
ly in words and figures the declaration
that it represented three cents, and of
a color that would readily cistinguish
it from others, we shall be very ninth
pleased to receive it.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
We have compared the above Balance Sheet with the books
and accounts at the Chief Office of The Dominion Bank, and
with the certified returns received from its Branches, and after
checking the cash and verifying the securities at the Chief Office
and certain of the principal Branches on December 31st, 1915, we
certify that, in our Opinion, such Balance Sheet exhibits a true
and correct view of the state of the Bank's affairs, according
to the best of our information, the explanations given to us and
as .shown by the books of the Sank.
In addition to the examinations mentioned the cash and
securities at the Chief Office and certain of the principal
Branches were checked and verified by us at another time during
the year and found to be in accord with the books of the Bank,
All information and explanations required have been given
to us and all transactions of the Dank which have come under

ARE YOU ONE OF THESE GIRLS?
There are many girls who try to shun
all household duties, and, beyond mak-
ing themselves neat and attractive,
are utterly useless. Every girl ought
to be eager to lift some of the burden
of household management from her
mother's shoulders on to her own; but
unfortunately some of them are so
averse to labour that they wait to be
asked to do things, instead of being
constantly on the look -out for little
duties which they are capable of doing.
If girls would be of any real use in the
home they must be quick to notice what
is wanted —the room that needs dusting,
the flowers which require rearranging,
the curtain which has lost a ring, and
is therefore drooping. And then they
must dot only be willing to do it pleas-
antly. \without making people feel they .
are suffering martyrdom. —Maritime
