Sel
Poison,
The food which is taken to nour-
ish the body and keep up vigor and
strength becomes a poison to the sys-
tem when digestion fails. You feel
drowsy after meals, lose appetite,
suffer from constipation, have pains
in the bowels and through the body.
Instead of being digested, the food
ferments and gives rise to gas or wind
on the stomach, which crowds about
the heart, causing suffocating feel-
ings and derangements of the heart's
action.
Resort to aids to digestion cannot
afford more than temporary relief,
for the trouble is caused by torpid,
sluggish action of the liver and
bowels. These organs must be
awakened so that they will filter the
poisons from the blood and remove
from the system the accumulating
waste matter.
Here lies the cause of indigestion and
dyspepsia, and neglect only Leads to chronic
and complicated derangements, which de_
stroy all comfort and shorten Life.
The ideal treatment for indigestion is
Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, because
they promptly and positively remove the
cause of trouble. Acting directly and spe-
cifically on the liver, kidneys and bowels,
they cleanse the system of all impurities,
and their occasional use keeps these filter-
ing and excretory organs regular and ac-
tive. The blood is purified, liens and aches
disappear, and such derangements as in-
digestion, constipation, biliousness, back-
ach and kidney derangements are cured.

PATRIOTISM AND H.ALTII
(By IL Addington Bruce in Toronto
Star)
The world war has brought home
to all of us the responsibilities of
citizenship. It has given added force
and meaning to the word patriotism.
But while patriotism of a surety
means willingness if need be to die for
one's country, it also has a meaning
too often overlooked --willingness ° to
live for one's canary to the beat of
onus ability. And it is certain that
after the war this other meaning of
patriotism will be more and more em-
phasized, especially in the lands where
r
wars ravages es
have
been the
worst.
A
constant] increasing
n
yumber
of
national leaders will then be found in-
dorsing and echoing ex -President Will-
iam .fioward Taft's declaration:
"It may well be claimed that the
Bare of individual and family health
VOW Annor ..
is the first and most patriotic duty of
a citizen."
Have you, my friend, ever thought
of your health from this higher stard
paint? Has it ever oecured to you that
it is vitally important to your nation es
well as to yourself that you do your
best to keep well?
Every nation now at war has found
itself handicapped to a greater or less
extent by a proportion of men physic-
ally unfit to bear arms In so far as
these men have brought careless modes
of living, they have on their unfitness
by vicious or unpatriotic,
Nor is it only for military purpos-
es that men should deem it a patrio-
tic duty to conserve their health. In
times of peace as in times of war the
power of every nation depends on the
healthfulness of its citizens.
As the world is to -day constitut-
ed, national rivalries and conflicts are
always in progress, even in the most
peaceful times. There is a perpetual
competition among nations for in-
tellectual, political, industrial, and
commercial supremacy.
This competition is carried on, not
in theory, but most concretely --by
brains and by brawn. Brilliant leaders,
strong workers, and in great numbers,
are needed to acheive national success.
Every mental dullard, every physical
weakling, is a potential helper gone
wrong.
Hence the tremendous importance
Of right living from a national and
patriotic point of view -
Hence the justice of asserting that
the man who ruins his health through
ignorance of the laws of personal hy-
giene, like the man who willfully com-
mits slow suicide by dissipation, is doing
more than injuring himself, He is
dealing a blow to his nation.
And, on the opposite, every man who
diligently learns how to live, and con.
sistently puts into practice the know•
ledge he has gained, is showing as
truly patriotic a spirit as the poor fellows
who have perished in the trenches for
the honor and the safety d their country.
Individual health and national health.
The two are indissolubly united. And,
as said above, the day is fest approach-
ing when Ieaders in every land will
keenly appreciate this, and Will urge
the supreme health for the national
good.
Meantime., '

trig ing your heaith, will it not be well to
call a halt and make a fresh beginning?
Personally it is certain to pay you to

will likewise be of real helpfulness to
your nation.

PROHIBITION IN ONTARIO
Prohibition will put into forte in
Ontario on September 16 next
The referendum on prohibition will
be taken on the first Monday in June,
1916. This means the Province will be
"dry" until that date.
The liquor license act now in force in
lthe Province will he repealed when the
Ontario temperance act (prohibition)
goes into effect.
If when the referendum is taken the
I
people vote against prohibition, present
licensehokders will probably get their
licenses hack, but districts where local
eption is now in force will remain
"dry." In other words, the situation
will be just as it is at present.
The Government is considering the
case of licenseholders who have long
leases on their hands.
These important announcementF
were made in the Legislature Thursdai
night by the Hon, W. J. Hanna, Pro.
vineial Secretary. The House had
spent the greater part of the after
noon and evening in committee on the
prohibition bill, and all but the con-
tentious clauses were passed. The
sections of the hill which required
more consideration were leftover for
discussion at some future time.
"There will be other sections to be
added to the hill," said Mr, Hanna.
"The important section that will be
added is the section providing for the
referendum. We do not intend as part
of this bill to enact the law under
which the bill will he referred, but will
add a clause to the bill to the effect
that the referendum will be taken on
the first Monday in June, 1919. That
with leave it always, of course, subject
to change if there should be imperative
need for, or imperative cause for a
change,"

SOW 'P NACH NOW.
Good Results Are Obtained Front
Winter Planting.
September planting of spinach fox
early spring use is generally advised
by vegetable gardeners. Failures with
this method, however, are not infra•
quent, and it is not always eonven,
lent to sow spinach in the autumn,
Better results on the whole can be
bad by winter planting.
A weII enriched section of the gar.
den should be selected for the pur-
pose, preferably a spot upon which
well rotted manure has been spread
in liberal quantities in the fall.' No
spading or forking of any sort is ne•
cessary. Select a still day in Pebru•
ary, when the ground is bare of snow,
sow the seed on the frozen soil and
cover with a light layer of leaves ox
straw. If this is disturbed by later
winds recover and weight down with
bits of boards.
Early in March remove these
weights, but Iet the cover remain. As
soon as the seedlings are an inch
high dress with nitrate of soda at the
rate of au ounce to the square yard.
Cultivation will not be necessary. At
the plants increase in size thin to
tbree inches apart. When these
crowd tate out every other plant.
They will be large enough for cook-
ing. Those that remain should be
again dressed with nitrate of soda
and used as rapidly as they show
signs of crowding. By the middle of
May only fully matured plants will
remain. Some of these may meas-
ure eighteen inches in diameter.
When the bed is finally, cleared ----a
space five feet square, by the way,
will provide spinach enough for a
family of four—early sown beets
plaute,d elsewhere in the garden will
be high enough to demand thinning.
Fill the spinach bed with these beets.
This second crop will mature and be
out of the way by the last week in
June, when the bed should be well
spaded, turning under rotted manure
in the process, and planted to still a
third crop. Late celery, especially
the self blanching sorts, is excellent
for that purpose.
Latch For Farm Gate.
A good latch for a gate may bei
made as shown in diagram—a sliding
board placed above the middle board
and an opening left in the end for if
to slide through. Bore holes in this
latch, one for peg to keep it from
sliding out and one for peg to lock
when closed. This peg should be at"
tached with a string. For a nosing
make as shown on post.
An'Posy Celery Crop.
There are many ways of growing
celery in the home garden, says the
Country Gentleman, but one of the
easiest and best ways is to sow the
reed In May in a rich, damp place and
then to cover it with a wet sack or a
piece of burlap until it spe'outs. The
planta should he set out between the
middle of July and the middle of Au-
gust, They do not begin to grow well
until the coos, rainy weather of late
suirlmer. They are set in trenches a,
foot wide, about nine Indies deep and
two feet apart, The plants are plac-
ed four inches apart in the row. As
they grow the earth Is filled In about
