While .we have been negligent in protecting; our country against the enemy, we have also failed lamentably in fortifying our human bodies against disease germs. This has been proven in the recruiting offices, where so wally men have been turn- ed down: by the examining doctors. Weak heart action; diseased lungs; thin, watery blood; defectieyesight, resulting from exhausted nerves. These are among the pre- vailing derangements which the exaiuining doctors fend. Health has been neglected. The blood has not been kept in healthful condition. The nervous system has got run down, and the subject under inspection is in no condition to fight the enemies of his country- or to withstand the attack of disease germs. Health preparedness means the use of preventive treatment, such as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, to enrich the blood, reinvigor ate the starved nerve cells and keep the health at high-water mark. In this condition you have the strength, vigor and confidence which is necessary to the success and enjoyment of life. You have the vitality to defy disease germs and thereby escape many ills which find an easy prey in the run-down system. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, 'by means of its blood -forming and nerve -invigorating in- fluence, cures headaches, nervous indigestion, `sleeplessness and irritability, and prevents such serious diseases as nervous prostration, locomotor ataxia and -paralysis.

The death took place at her resi- dence, 236 George street, Belleville, Ontario, on Thursday, April 6th, of Lucy Coleman Howell, widow of the late Rev. J, E. Howell, at one time pastor of North Street Methodist church, Goderich, Alice Maud Treble, beloved wife of Samuel Sheardown, passed away at her home in Goderich on Saturday, April 8th, an illness of more than two months. Mrs. Sheardown was born in Colborne township and was in her fortieth year. She was married to her now bereft husband eleven years ago and leaves an infant son to mourn her loss as well as an adopted son. Mr. John Bell has withdrawn from the partnership of Bell & McLeod en- gaged in the hardware business et Luck - now. He sold out his interest in the store to Mr. John Joynt, who becomes the associate of his son-in-law, Mr. Mc- Leod. We understand that Mr. Bell intends going out West in the near future. A fatal accident occurred on Thurs- day afternoon about two o'clock on "the farm of Mr. Chas. Prockow, lot i. eon. 1. township Of Normanby, about two miles from Clifford, when bis eldest son, eighteen years of age, was instantly killed by a falling tree. The father and son were eutting wood in the bush, and the butt of a tree swung around and pinned the young man to a log. Both legs were broken and his body was badly crushed.

Prior to moving to Seaforth Mr. and Mrs. Davidson lived at Fullarton's Corners, Perth County. The Oglivie Milling Company, Montreal, has advised the Seaforth manager that the Seatorth mill is to be closed down from May 1 until the end of October. No reason is given for this decision. Official information was received from Ottawa that Pte. Joseph Harold Klein. infantry, son of Michael Klein. a farmer near Seaforth, had been of- ficially reported as admitted to No. 3 general hospital, Boulogne, April 8, from gunshot wound, and severe frac- ture of the left arm, making amputa- tion necessary. Pte. Klein enlisted in London. Personal and real estate of the net value of $134,566,50 was left by the late Samuel Alexander McGaw, prominently identified with the Win- nipeg Grain Exchange, who died at Los Angeles on February 9 last as the result of an automobile accident.

This is Nature's way of curing weakness and disease. It is the only way to ensure lasting benefits. EGGS AND MORE EGGS. For many years Canada produced more eggs than we needed and we were able to retake large shipments abroad. We kept en increasing our poultry, but at the same time our towns and cities were growing in size and the con- sumption of eggs increased more rapidly than the production. The result was, that our exports gradually disappeared, atld strange to say, Agricultural Canada became an egg importing country. People were surprised to learn through the press that shipments came in, Some times from Russia and frequently from Chinn, two of the greatest egg -producing countries in the world. Of recent years enoi:mous quantities of old storage eggs from the United States have been brought in to make up for our deficiency. Since the war broke out the foreign supplies for Great Dritain have been- seriously interfered with. Trade with Tttissia has been largely cut of There was, therefore, an opportunity for the ship- ment of Canadian eggs to Great Britain. In the Patriotism and Production cam- paign of last year it was stated that there would be a deficiency of 100,000.- 000 dozen eggs in Great Britain, thus opening up an enormous market to Canada. In addition to the regular consumption there has been an increas« ing demand for strictly fresh eggs for hospital requirements. The call for fresh eggs has been as insistent as the call for cooks and Red Cross funds. Canadian eggs. inspected and graded, have found a ready market. This market can be held during the war and after the war if we are ready to 'take advantage of it. Particular attention is given to this question in The Agri- cultural War Book for 1916. The out- look as to demand and prices is such as to warrant our people in giving careful consideration to it. Thousands of families that do not keep fowl have here an opportunity. Instructions and suggestions are available in every province. The Dominion Department of Agriculture has a rumber of very valuable bulletins and every province of Canada has a well organized Poultry Branch ready to give advice. It is a most interesting problem. The 'United States calculations are that the 4meri- can hen on the average lays 70 eggs per year. Our Canadian hen, partly from climatic reason, falls short of this, some calculate by at least 20 eggs. The profitable flock should show an average of at least 120 eggs. The work carried on in developing bred -to -lay fowl and the results of egg -laying con- tests open up a most interesting field. The record is to -day held by a hen in Delaware. This hen laid no less than 314 eggs in one year. Last year the Canadian hen did her duty, the biggest ever,—she laid eggs to the value of $30,000,000. She can do much better if we give' her a chance. There are thousands of families in villages and towns that can keep, a small flock at very little expense, thereby serving their own table and helping to increase the exports. + ven with eggs we can help finance the war. Meat prices are advancing and the cost of living is going up.- Only a half dozen eggs every day wilt be a great help for the home Perhaps, in addition, you can put away half a dozen for usenxt Pall and ,Winter.

BOWSFiEi,D n • -1-ktl +1.1-1-I+i 3-1•1•P ht•° 1-I.1»hth I+F o In extendin a farm Program to t embrace as many practical ideas as t possible people in the country need to consider such things as guinea fowls, bees, rabbits, pigeons, and e other birds and animals which will n help the income without requiring much labor or investment. Guineas are easily kept and have a usefulness aside from what revenue they return to a farmer. Their eggs and meat are delicious, they devour thousands of insects, tbus picking up much of their living in the fields, and they help to guard a poultry yard from the visits of hawks. As they do not scratch the ground, they are useful in a garden, destroying bugs and worms. The flesh of a guinea is dark and tender and is greatly relish- ed by those who like game animals or fowls. There are two kinds of guineas, the pearl and the white, but I like the former c: old fashioned guinea the best. The safest time to hatch guinea eggs is in the months of July and August. They do better at this time because the dews are not so heavy, and they will come off just about the time grass seeds begin to ripen. In my experience I find the common hen is far better to hatch and rear guineas than the guinea hen, ° Guinea eggs hatch in twenty-six to twenty-eight days. They should be set on the ground in some cool, dry place where the water will not The attitude of the foreigners Saskatchewan and iYlanitoba toward prohibition will be welcome news t Ina ly of our readers. Krv, R. G. Scott, of Saskatchewan tells us that when all the bars had bee closed, the Government opened twenty :gree liquor stores for those wh tiought they could not do withou elootrol. Provision bad been made tha lease stores could be closed or other evened, according to the wish of th people, at the Municipal elections i November, The entire Provin4e had oven divided into liquor districts, Voting ,00k place in seven districts, in three of which liquor stores had already been rstablisheu, and in four other districts an attempt was made to open new >tures. In every district tt.e result was decisively in favor of total aostinence. In the three districts where Government stores had been in oper- ation, they were all wiped out by a vote of about two and a half to one. In the four districts where an effort was being made to open stores, all the attempts failed by a vote of about the same relative proportions. Particular interest had been attached to our district, as the population was largely foreign, The presence of large colonies of Galicians, French, Germans and Hungarians, was thought to be a strong force to overcome. These people had always been accustomed to use liquor whenever they had the opportunity. Every wedding and every, holiday was celebrated with plenty of liquor. Few were abstainers and none too poor to procure it. There was almost no organization, so that what temperance work was done, was in most cases by individuals, but the result was very encouraging. A foreigner told me that he had al- ways been a heavy drinker and that if a vote had been taken when the bars were first closed there would have been many liquor stores open. However, he thought the people had found out in four months that they got along very well without it and had more money than they ever had before. He said that few wanted the stores opened now. A young. Frenchman, who has a family and is a good worker, said to me "The bar got me a good many times. I spent a lot of money and lost a lot of time. I am glad the bar is gone and we don't want the ----thing back again•" In the rural municipality of Fish Creek, .where the population is almost entirely Galician, it was thought the people would vote strongly for a 1 quor store, but it went dry by more than two to one. Wakaw village, where we have a very mixed population, went dry by 47 to 16. What has been done in such a district, can surely be done in any place in Canada. Coming to Manitoba, we find the foreigners quite as hostile to the liquor traffic. In Winnipeg alone there were five Ruthenian, three Scandinavian, and three Icelandic papers that would not even print a liquor advertisement. Perhaps that will take some of the con- ceit out of us, and let us see that the foreigner has more brains than we give him credit for. Let us wake up and press forward. H. Arnott, M.B°, M.C.P.S.

Care should be taken to keep the hen free from lice, and mites while she is sitting, as lice or :mites will kill a small guinea in .a short time. 'Do not use lice powder around eggs. After the guineas come off . they should be put in a dry pen or coop. The coop should have a board bottom so as to keep them dry, for dampness Is very injurious to them. It is best not to feed the young guineas for about twenty-four hours after they the hatched. I find that the best feed for them is stale bread and boiled eggs, crumbled fine t and dampened with milk. They should be fed this kind of food for four or five days, Hive times a day, after which they should be gradually changed to other foods. After this I feed them practi- cally as I do other chicks. The most critical time is when they begin to send out their wing feathers. Especial care should be taken not to let them get wet during this time. Do not feed them too much, and look out for bowel trouble. Another good thing is to Iook out for slice and mites. If you should happen to find any lice or mites on them a good way is to dust the hen every eight, clean out the coop thoroughly, and use a good louse killer. The young guineas are lively and grow at a rapid rate. For the first few days they should be kept in a yard, but after they get spry and the weather is good they should be al- lowed their freedom With the mo• ther hen. Usually after the heli weans them they fly to some nearby tree to roost. After this they will pick up most of their living front seeds, bugs, etc., but care should be taken to gee that they get enough to eat. During the winter they require about the same amount of food as the ordinary hen. They do not lay dur- ing the winter, but begin about the middle of April, and will lay nearly every day until November, Moles Not Vegetarians. Because moles make their runs along rows of freshly planted corn and then the corn fails to come up, It is the common belief that the moles have eaten it and are therefore ree sponsible for the poor stand of corn.
