WORK OF THE LEAVES Many Necessary and interesting Pro- cesses Impossible Without Them. An examination of the leaves of various plants will show a peculiar structure all for certain purposes. The under side of a rhubarb plant leaf, for instance, has prominent strong veins. The leaves of the poplar tree, even after they have fallen, and the skin all gone, have a network of veins. In the daffodil the veins go in strips - some branch. The purpose of these veins is to convey fluids to the leaves from the root and stem, and also to take other fluids away, The larger leaves nave ribs for support, Plants constantly take in oxygen from the air, and give out carbonic gas as waste This breathing is called respiration and takes place through the leaves, which are the lungs of the tree or plant. Carbon is being gradually digested, and then stored up in the stem and leaves in growing plants. Carbon dioxide, or carbonic gas, is absorbed by the leaves from the air, and the plants break up this gas, secure from it the carbon, and allow the oxygen to escape into the air. This process of feeding or digestion is called as- similation, and takes place with the aid of sunlight, the, result being that starch is manufactured. Light is ab- solutely necessary for this process, for starch is found nowhere except in green leaves. When green plants have sunlight, they secure enerey to split up the carbon dioxide, store up the carbon, and free the oxygen. But when plants are placed in darkness, the opposite takes place. From this it can be readily seen that it is a bad practice to keep plants in bedrooms, as too much carbon dioxide is injur_ ious to animal life. Another process that is going on in plants is transpiration. Water, in which various salts are dissolved, is ab- sorbed by root hairs, sett up the stems through the bundles of vessels, and carried to the leaves, The flow of sap is excessive 1n summer, s0 some outlet is required. For this purpose the leaves are used, and through pores on the upper and under surfaces the excess is carried to the air. This keeps plants cool in the hottest weather, and is so rapid that a sunflower gives off as much as a quart of liquid in 24 hours. If one touches the leaves of a tomato plant at noon on a hot day, as it is growing against a wail, moisture on the surface will be perceived, and one can also see the liquid. If all the leaves of a plant were removed, and the new ones cut off as they came out, the plant could not breathe, no food world be stored up in it, for it could not digest its food, and it would con- sequently die of starvation.

Addington Bruce in Toronto Star) We keep the toxin of alcohol from our brain. But we are not careful to keep from it the toxins produced by ex- cessive eating. We let these course through our blood to reach and weaken the delicate cells of our thinking apparatus. We avoid the germ infections to which all expose themselves who in- dulge in loose sexual relations. Yet often we needlessly work amid dust and dirt laden with equally deadly in- fection. We would shudder at the thought of spending a night in the stifling atmos- phere of a gambling hell. But week in and week out we cheerfully work and sleep in quarters that are little better ventilated. Then again, many of users through forgetting or never knowing, that thinking ability is conditioned by the quality of the blood's circulation and that this in turn is largely conditioned by bodily exercise. We live in street car, office chair, and bed, letting our muscles grow flabby, our circulation slow. And after a time we find ourselves wondering why our power to plan, to reason, to remember, to execute, is not as good as it used to be. There are only a few of the common- est errors in personal living habits. They are errors that impair our health, they are errors that diminish our efficiency, they are errors that keep us or make us poor in purse. Learn to avoid them. To -morrow the first thing, buy yourself a hand -book in personal hygiene. It will not cost much and is sure to prove a splendid invest- ment. There are many reasons why all of us should study the ways of healthy living. Not the least important reason is found in the relation that exists be- tween health and the gaining of our livelihood. It might be supposed that everybody would recognize this and would learn to live well. But actually only a small percentage of people pay due attention to the laws of personal hygiene. Some people, to be sure, give too much thought to the question of health. They are forever fussing about their health, and live in perpetual and irrational dread of disease. Indeed, they may actually make themselves ill by their morbid -fear of illness. So much do they think about their well-being that they have little time to think of their work. Necessarily, even if they are so lucky as to escape a nervous breakdown, they work in- efficiently and thereby keep their in- come below what it ought to be. But most people are not unduly con- cerned as to their health. Where most people err is in thinking that they can work at a high efficiency rate without taking proper care of themselves. And to take proper care of one's self involves much more than the mere avoidance of reckless dissipation in the way of drinking, sexual excesses, etc. This it is that most of us overlook. We may be total abstainers from alcohol, we may lead morally clean lives. Nevertheless, in unsuspected ways we lessen our earning capacity by violating the laws of right living. One great fault is to forget, or re- main in ignorance of, the fundamental truth that everything which has a had effect on our internal physical processes has likewise a bad effect on our power to think. We may not make the mistake of poisoning ourselves with rum. But too many of us make the mistake of poison- ing ourselves with over -rich and over- abundant food. Fell In a Faint Mrs. Edwin Martin, Ayer's Cliff, Que., writes: "Before using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I was in a terrible condition. Dizzy spells would come over me and I would fall to the floor. I could not sweep without fainting. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food has so built up my system that I can wash and do my housework. Your medicine cured me when doctors had failed." 000000000000000000 9 oTHE ANNUAL INVENTORY, 0 o 0 o Every farmer should take an o o annual inventory. At the begin- 0 o fling of the year is the logical o 0 time. Instead of guessing at the o o profits of the past year, says the 0 o American Farming, see how o o touch new machinery, what o o equipment and new blindingu o u were added during the year. L 0 o new automobile, a wheat drill, a o o washing machine, a tractor, a 0 o waste and fresh water system, a o o manure spreader, a lime grind- o o er-any one or a number of these o o may have been purchased dur- o o ing the past year. Not only can o o one estimate and determine the o o profits of the past year, but he o o can also map out what is needed o 0 in the future, what implements o o and machinery will be required. o o The wise farmer is thinking al- o o ready of the coming season and o o is taking an inventory as one of o o the first steps. o 0 0 000000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CHEESE YIELD HIGH, Ontario Has Enjoyed a Record Year, Says G. G. Publow. "Never before was so much cheese made in eastern Ontario as during the season just closed. Never before was it produced at so little cost. Never before were prices so high. Never Kane farmers, particularly dairy farmers, made so much money out of their herds. All this was due to a most unusual combination of circumstances -phenomenal produc- tion and high prices. At the begin- ning of the season a special appeal was made for the 'biggest ever' in production. The dairymen responded to the call, and Providence helped them out with . one of the best sea- sons for pasture we have ever had." The speaker was G. G. Publow, Chief Dairy Instructor for the east- ern half of the Province, a man who has been identified with Can- adian dairying from his youth up, and whose mammoth cheese at the Chicago World's Fair constituted one of the best advertisements the indus- try ever secured. "Prices certainly were phenomen- al," continued Mi•. Publow. "An average of 15 IA cents for the full year, as compared with 13 17f., cents the year before, a figure which in it- self constituted a record up to that time. Just what these figures mean will be better understood when I say that I have known cheese to sell as low as six cents, and have seen the time when nine cents for the season was considered a fairly good average. Of cour:•v th" extraordinary prices of the year just closed were due largely to the war, '.int Lor years past prices have been steadily advancing. Vari- ous causes account for this -the ad- vance in foodstuffs generally, the in- crease in immigration, particularly from the United Kingdom, where cheese is a recognized article of diet; an increasing appreciation of the amount of nourishment in cheese by our own people. "It was natural that the war should give a special boom to the cheese trade, because cheese is easily transported, it is less liable to injury during transit than is meat, and it compares well with the latter in food value. The Americans as well as ourselves have profited by this boom. Their cheese export trade had prac- tically ceased to exist before the war; during last season they export- ed between 600 and 800 thousand boxes. A Rat and Mouse Trap. Fill a barrel one-third full of water. Take a thin piece of board six or seven inches broad and long enough to reach halfway across the top of a barrel (1). A small wooden cleat is nailed upright on each side of the barrel (4). A spindle of metal is driven through the plank (3), and the ends or axles of this spindle turn in journals at the top of the cleats. Fasten a bit of cheese securely on the end of the plank that reaches out to the centre of the barrel (2). The end of the plank which rests upon the rim of the barrel must be just a 111 i little heavier than the baited end. This can be regulated easily by driv- ing a nail or two in the end of the plank if it is not heavy enough to settle back in position after bein.g tipped up. Now lean a plank against the bar- rel, the top end resting evdn with or just under the end of board (1). This will enable to rodents to get up to the trap easily. They start out on the plank after the cheese. It tips down, and in a twinkling of an eye the animal plunges head first into the water and is drowned. There is no escape; they go to their doom. The plank swings back and is ready for another victim. It is always set, always baited.-Suc- cessfnl Farming. "Keep the Witch Out of the Churn." Troubles arising from winter but- ter making are generally caused by the fact that the temperature is not right. Keep the cream at 52 degrees until two days before churning and then place where the temperature is about 75 degrees During churning keep the cream at about 60 degrees.

Says she : "My work will NEVER end; o'er dusty stretches I must bend, until, with aching back and hands' I finish what the day demands," The Then Mrs. Jones, one afternoon, drop. ped in, at time most opportune. An "Floor -and -Door -a" optimist, she knew the wiles of house- work and Githrleendless doors, until when Hubby saw them, too, hold work -its sighs and smiles. She told of how she polished floors and wood - reflections said: "Why, howdy -do!" "The Gold Dust Twins," said she, "I find, help leave the woes of dust behind. Each mark of sticky hands on doors, each tread of muddy feet on floors, all fade before i49 :;. - - i the slightest touch of Gold Dust, and the work is such that, when the woodwork has been done, I find said work was only fun." This line of reasoning must show that those who've tried it OUGHT to know. " If you, in one day's duties, find that there's a Grouch in ev'ry Grind, invite the Gold Dust Twins to share such tasks as tire and fret and wear. From kitchen floor to bedroom suite, these tireless little chaps make neat, and best of all, the sum expense is measured up in meager cents. They put both dust and dirt to rout and run the last old microbe out.
