LITTER FROM FRANCE
The following letter has been received
by Mrs, Tyndall from her son, George
Moffat.
ANAEMIA
Disease germs take advantage of every
weakness of the human system. Their great-
est enemy is rich, red blood, but when the blood gets thin
and watery they increase rapidly and easily gain the up-
per hand. In this way grip, pneumonia, consumption and other germ
diseases get a foothold on the system almost before you know it.
Anaemia or poverty of the blood makes itself known by pal-
lor of the gums, lips and inside of the eyelids, you feel weak and
languid, the heart's action weakens, yon are easily tired out and find
yourself short of breath.
The blood is thin and watery, and is lacking in the red corpuscles
which represent the nutritious element of the blood, Because Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food increases the number of red corpuscles and there-
by enriches the blood, it is the most effective means available of curing
anaemia and fortifying the system against the attack of disease.
On account of the weakened condition of the blood from anaemia,
there is always danger of developing Dropsy or Pernicious Anaemia,
from which there is small chance of recovery.
With the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to build up the richness
of the blood, the color is soon restored to the pallid skin, and you find
yourself gaining in health and strength. The heart's action is strength-
ened and gradually the muscular weakness is replaced by new
vigor and energy.
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is truly doing wonders for many
thousands of anaemic men and women and puny boys
and girls, whose blood has got thin and weak. Put it
to the test and you will better understand why
so many people are enthusiastic in its praise.

al man, practised for fifteen years at
Seaforth. He had held appointments
at the Hamilton and Brockville asylums
prior to his receiving the Government
office.
On Saturday, March 25th, one of the
old residents of Goderich. in the person
of John Roberts, answered the final
call as the result of a stroke of paralysis.
Mr. Roberts was born in Tunbridge,
Wells, Kent, Eng., in 1842, and joined
the navy while a boy as a seaman on
the gunboat, Malborough. At 22 years
he passed as first-class gunner. He
came to Canada at the time of the
Fenian Raid, along with Capt. Babb,
as gunners on the gunboat, Cherub,
the first British gunboat to enter the
Great Lakes. In 1868 the Cherub with
the two Goderich men was sent to West
India to look after British interests at
the time of the Mexican insurrection.
In 1870 they returned to England and
later the same year came out to Canada
and became gun instructors on the
Prince Alfred, a passenger boat, which
was fitted out here as a gunboat at the
time of the threatened raid of 1870.
After these troubles were over Mr.
Roberts was engaged at the Big Mill,
working at first in the salt block., and
for over thirty years he was a trusted
employee at the mill.

TO GROW ALFALFA.
Some 'First Principles Outlined by
Mr. Math Michels.
They are calling alfalfa the queen
of all the clovers in many sections of
the west. It yields mammoth crops
under favorable conditions, and the
hay is most nutritious. Furthermore,
it is a soil enricher, so that crops
that succeed alfalfa always yield
bounteously. Those who have at-

CANADIAN PATRIOTIC FUND
More than $10,000,000 had been sub-
scribed by the people of Canada to the
patriotic fund. This sum is estimated
to last till the end of the first few
months in 1917.
The great number of enlistments
during the past few months has added
a greater burden to the fund, and now
each month is being dispensed a sum
far in excess of that anticipated a
year ago.a In February. 1916, the to
tal paid to dependents was in the
neighborhood of $525,000, which is the
largest month's disbursement since
the war began. For the first time it
exceeded the half million mark. The
amount requisitioned for March is
$600,000.
Sir Herbert Ames. Canadian patriot -
ie fund chairman, before theVeiers'
the
pensions committee today, g
opinion that it would not be neces-
sary to make pensions equal the
amount soldiers' families now receive
from the Government and patriotic
fund. He urged that the Canadian
Government should augment the pen-
sions payable to British and allies' re-
servists who were in Canada when
war broke out, so as to raise them to
the level of the Canadian scale.

c rXTING ALFALFA.
ience will be interested in the fol-
lowing hints:
Use home or western grown seed
with a germination test of 95 per
cent. or better.
Select any soil that will grow corn.
Fall plowing is preferable.
Thorough but shallow cultivation
in the spring.
Sow fifteen pounds of alfalfa seed
and one bushel of barley per acre.
If a drill with seeding attachment
is used drop seed ahead of disks or
shoes. No harrowing necessary after
seeding. If the barley is sown first
handand
put on
lhe seeder follow seed
followwith light har-
rowing.
If the barley should happen to
lodge cut for hay; if it stands up al-
low it to ripen. In either case get
it off the field as soon as possible
after cutting.
Do not cut again nor pasture the
first year. The heavier the growth in
the fall the better. This applies to
old as well as new fields. No danger
of smothering itself even if knee
high.
Cut as soon as new sprouts grow
out from the crown. This is usually
at the time the first blossoms ap-
pear.
Alfalfa should be cut high.) Tilt
cutting bar a notch or two higher
than you would for other grasses, so
as not to injure the new sproM:s,
thereby getting a quicker start and
more hay at the next cutting.
Alfalfa must be cut three times
and only three times to keep it in the
best of health.
If alfalfa fields should appear a
little thin cultivate as soon as dry in
the spring with a spring tooth har-
row or hoe seeder, the same as you
would a strawberry bed.
If possible give your alfalfa a light
dressing of stable manure during the
fall or winter. It will show results.
Do not overdo the curing in the
field. Alfalfa can be put up easier
and quicker than clover and still cure
out well in the mow. Do not pile up
high in mow in order to keep each
cutting separate, but spread out as
much as possible.
Remember as a weed destroyer the
growing of alfalfa has no equal. •
If you have alfalfa hay for sale
get in touch with feeders and sell di-
rect.
In selling alfalfa remember that
the standard is set so high on the
abed "choice" that it is im-
