Nerves Were So Upset
Could Not Endure Noise
Neuralgic ]Headaches and Extreme Nervousness Caused
Keenest Suffering—Lasting Cure by Use of Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food,
Once the nervous system sets run
down everything seems to tend to
make It worse, You worry over your
condition, are unable to get the re-
quired rest and sleep, noises excite and
Irritate you and the fixture is most
discouraging.
The nervous system does not get
the proper nourishment from the food
you eat, so you must have something
also to lift you out of the run-down
condition. You may find that your
experience coincides with the writer
of this letter and be encouraged to
put Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to the
test.
You will make no mistake in em-
ploying this food cure, tor, acting as
it does hand in hand with Nature, it
Is bound to do you good.
Mrs. Jas, Jensen, Gwynne, Alta.,
writes: "About ton years ago I was
troubled with severe attacks of neur-
algia and nervousness, and Was for
not get a night's rest. I used several.
medicines recommended by the drug-
gist. My, doctor also prescribed, but
nothing he gave me brought any re-
lief. Instead I got worse and worse
until I could scarcely do anything or
bear the least bit of noise. My
nerves were all upset,
"My husband read about Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food and got nig some.
Although I had no faith in it, I began
its use, and after a few doses began
to sleep well and the neuralgia left
me entirely. I need six more boxes
and have never had any troubles
from neuralgia or the nerves since.
"This is to certify that I know Mrs.
Jensen and believe this statement to
be true and correct. Fred Freeman,

ing won recogni-
tion from all who

a t ion. Different
from these and
yet even more
thoroughly Cana-
dian, for she has
remained true to
Montreal, is Bea-
trice Redpath,
whose recently
published volume
of verse "Drawn Shutters,” was described in T. Y. O'Connor's well-known lit-
erary review as "coming like sunshine amid clouds, themselves noble and im-
pressive." The poems of Mrs. Redpath are typical of the quiet dignity o1
Mount Royal with its stately trees, below which the world lies spread in a
mysterious beauty. No name is better known in Montreal than that of Red-
path, but the author of "Drawn Shutters" was born to the name of Peterson,
daughter of Alexander Peterson, C.E., engineer of the C.P.R. bridge built
across the St. Lawrence at Lachine in 18S6, and Chief Engineer of the C.P.R.
when the Ste. Annes and Vaudreuil bridges were built and the great railway
bridge at Sault Ste. Marie. "One of the best railway engineers in the world,"
said the "New York Times" of her father. "One of the truest poets of our
time," might well be said of Beatrice Redpath.
A GOBBLER GOES TO WORK
(Lue!inuw Seutinel)
A rather amusing and interesting story
of the barn yard, or rather poultry yard,
comes from down Lochalsh way. Her-
bert Ensign, a farther there, has u freak
gobbler, or,rather a gobbler with freak-
ish ways, As is well known, the turkey
cock is usually content to spend the
summer days spreading his colors to the
sun and strutting snout as if undisputed
king of the barn yard. But this one of
Mr. Ensign's has gone off on another
tangent, From playing king of the barn
yard he suddenly developed an ambition
to become an old clucking hen, and a
month ago gave unmistakable evidence
that he wanted to sit on eggs. Having
none of his own, he took a sitting hen
by the head and pulling her from the
nest, took her place on the eggs, Mr.
Ensign fearing that the change might
mean death for the expected chickens,
prepared another nest with eggs and
placed the gobbler on it. Strange to
say, he took to the new nest with every
evidence of satisfaction, leaving the nest
only occasionally for a hurried meal.
Last week the gobbler's chickens made
their appearance—five of them; and our
informant says he looks after them like
any old mother hen.
The above story, the truth of which
can be verified by a visit to Mr. Ensign's
barn yard, where the gobbler and chick-
ens are cooped together, is certainly
remarkable, for the usual temper and
disposition of the gobbler is the very
opposite of the mother hen. It almost
looks as though the government cam-
paign for Production and Thrift had in
some way affected the brain of this
proud bird.

Travel from one to two
years free in your Ford
on your saving in one
year's depreciation.
Other cars in the X1000 or less class, after one
year of service, are worth from $250 to $400
less than their purchase price. That's, their
depreciation.
Ford cars, after a year's hard work, sell on an
average for only $125 less than they cost brand
new. That's Ford depreciation.
The difference in depreciation of these year-old
cars ranges from $125 in the one case to $275
in the other-- both considerable savings for Ford
owners.
Thousands of owners tell us that it costs .024
per mile on an average to drive a Ford—paying
for gasoline, oil, tires and repairs.
So, if your saving in depreciation for a year is
$125 you pay all your expenses for 5,208 miles ---
while if it is $275, you have kept enough money
in your pocket to pay for driving your Ford
11,458 miles.
Buying a Ford in preference to other less than
$1,000 cars, lets you save in one year's time a
difference in depreciation that pays all your
motoring bilis for from one to two years.
Think it over.

WARNING TO BUTTER MAKERS,
_--
There are many in this vicinity who
do not seem to be aware that it is a
punishable offence to sell butter wrapped
in plain wrappers whether to the stores
or to regular customers and the follow-
ing paragraph from the Grand, Valley
Star should be taken to heart, It says:
"On Tuesday afternoon a Government
inspector paid Grand Valley merchants a
surprise visit and found quite a bit of
butter in pound prints not conforming
to the legal requirements. Some was
of light weight and some in plain
wrappers. Boxes of dairy butter.
fresh from the makers, did not have
the necessary mark. There was a little
uneasiness as to just what might
happen, but as this was the inspector's
first visit, and the dealers were perhaps
the innocent victims of an indifferent
people, the incident may be taken as a
warning. The Dairy Incident Act of
1914, providing that pound print butter
must be full weight and marked
whether Dairy or Creamery. Boxes
must also be similarly distinguished.
A merchant is not permitted to accept
any butter in pound prints that are
short weight, but is to return the same
to the vendor. So when you next bring
your butter to market be sure it is
marked, wrappers or boxes. The use
of plain wrappers for any purpose, even
to regular customers is not permitted.
The penalty to both purchasers and
vendor for infraction of the Act is a
fine of not less than $10 and not ex-
ceeding $p50."
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot.
With sword, or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a walled up woman's
heart—
Of woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part—
Lo! there is the battlefield.
No marshalling troop, no bivouac song,
No banner to gleam and wave;
But, ohl these battles they last so
long—
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled up town—
Fights on and on in endless wars,
Then silent, unseen—goes down.
0 ye, with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
I tell you the kingliest victory fought
Are fought in these silent ways.
0, spotless woman in a world of shame!
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born!

THE ORIGIN OF THE SUBMARINE
SANDWICH FILLINGS
One of the lnost common questions
asked by the housewife is, "Can you
tell me a good sandwich filler?" Here
are a few that have proved to be very
satisfactory:
Meat thinly sliced or finely chop-
ped and seasoned, or mixed with
salad dressing.
Celery chopped fine and mixed with
salad dressing.
Olives chopped fine and mixed with
salad dressing (34c to ?4c olives.)
Celery, pimentoes and nuts, or olives,
or pimentoes and cream.
American cheese grated, seasoned
with tomato.
Lettuce with mayonnaise.
Peanuts, pounded smooth, seasoned
and moistened with cream.
Figs cooked to smooth paste, sugar,
lemon juice and nuts added.
Dates and preserved ginger.
Dates and peanuts chopped fine,
moistened with cream.
Raisins cooked to smooth paste,
lemon juice and nuts added.
The bread should be 24 hours old
and cut in thin, even slices. If fancy
forms are desired, shape before spread-
ing with butter. Cream the butter
and spread evenly.
READ YOUR FORTUNE
AT THE TEA -TABLE
The submarine idea originated with
a Harvard student named Bushnell in
1775, who built a clamshaped submers-
ible ship which during the Ameri-
can Revolution, was tried against the
British warship "Eagle" and failed.
A quarter ofa century later Bush-
nell's idea attracted the attention of
another American, Fulton, the in-
ventor of the steamboat, who built
two submarine vessels for Napoleon,
which were also failures. Fulton's
plans were lost, but all through the
nineteenth century French inventors
were studying the problem. During
the American Civil War, the Confed-
erate Government, built some cigar -
shaped iron submersibles, on French
plans which did not prove of much
use, since the only one which sunk
a Federal ship, sank herself also. The
modern submarine of a practicable
character dates from -the plans of
J. P. Holland, an Irishman, who built
his ship in Connecticut. Holland was
a Fenian, and his aim was to build
a type of ship by which the British
navy could be destroyed and Ireland
"set free". Of its very nature' the
submarine is the most effective weap-
on of weaker nations without vast
naval power, and it is singular that
the destruction of the British navy
has nearly always been the prospective
target of the pioneers in the build-
ing of such crafts Bushnell's boat,
Fulton's boat and Holland's boat
were all built with that end in view,
but the British navy Is still afloat.
FORESAW HIS DOWNFALL,
Napoleon Had Planned to Secure a
Home In This Country,
When Joseph Bonaparte left me, the
impression on my mind was that had
ho not been Napoleon's brother he
would have passed for a very remark-
able man.
I had almost forgot to mention that
the conversation having incidentally
turned toward his chateau at Borden -
town he mentioned as the principal
reason for choosing that situation a
conversation with Napoleon, I think
immediately or not long after Napo-
leon's return from Russia. They were
alone together, and his brother, laying
a large map of the United States on a
table, said:
"'Joseph, it is very probable that the
time is not distant when you and I will
he forced to seek an asylum in the
United States. Come, let us look out
the best spot'
"After a careful examination they
decided that the most desirable place
was somewhere between the Delaware
and Hudson in the state of New Jer-
sey. Napoleon was destined to a slow
and painful sacrifice, but Joseph found
refuge in the United States and was
governed in his selection of a home by
the recollection of the prophetic inter-
view with his brother."—From an Un-
published Manuscript of James S.
Paulding
Prevents "Lost" Papers.
One of the greatest sources of annoy.
ance is the extraction of papers from
the file after they have been carefully
put away. Next to finding papers
quickly, the most important detail Is
getting all of the papers desired at
one time, says Business. In an office
of a manufacturer in a large city a
plan has been adopted that bas put a
stop to lost papers. All correspond-
ence is filed daily in vertical files, ac-
cording to names of correspondents in
the usual way. Once a month the file
girls are required to take out every hit
of correspondence, arrange it accord-
ing to dates in each folder, place a
plain sheet of paper over the last let-
ter, with merely the name of the
month written on it, and then staple
the whole thing to the vertical folder.
After this is done 1t is impossible to
remove a single sheet without detec-
tion, and a call for the correspondence
of a certain firm or individual produces
everything that has occurred since the
last transfer date.
The following hints for reading
"fortunes" by means of tea leaves or
coffee grounds, given by "Sunshine
E" at request of "Just Nineteen," will
doubtless be appreciated by others.
Straight lines denote peace, tran-
quility and long life.
Long wavy lines denote vexations
and losses.
Square figures foretell happiness and
security.
Oblong figures, family discord.
Curved or twisted figures are sure
signs of annoyance.
Circles predict money.
A crown singifies honor.
A triangle denotes an unexpected
journey.
The anchor, success in business if at
the bottom of the cup, or success in
love if at the top,
The cross predicts adversity.
The heart signifies pleasure: if two
are together, or one with a ring near
it, marriage.
Dots, like dust, mean money.
The ring predicts marriage.
The sun is the sign of the greatest
good luck.
The moon (or crescent) denotes high
honors, and if at the bottom of the cup,
good fortune on land and water.
The rod shows differences with rela-
tives about legacies.
Flowers are signs of peaceful and
joyous life.
Birds are good omens. Denote kind
thoughts.
A dog, good and faithful friend; other
animals, troubles and difficulties.
Human figures are good signs. De-
note marriage.
The letter denotes news; if surround-
ed by dots, contains money.
The tree points to lasting good
health; several trees show your wishes
will come trne; if surrounded by dots,
you will make your fortune where you
are.
The clover leaf is very lucky. If
found by itself, serene and Undis-
turbed happiness; if surrounded by
clouds, it shows the .presence of dis-
agreeable things to mar the happiness.
DRY CLEANING AT HOME.
A Mixture That Is Said to Do the Work
Easily and Harmlessly.
Make a stock solution of eight
ounces strong ammonia, half an ounce
of chloroform and half an ounce of
ether. Cork tightly and keep away,
from the face, says the Scientific
American. Dissolve a bar of naphtha
soap in three gallons of hot water, add
half a teaspoonful each of baking
soda, salt and alum and three table.
spoonfuls of the ammonia -chloroform -
ether mixture.
To clean oriental or other rugs to
their original brightness make a lathes
and dip a scrub brush in it, shaking
out superfluous water. Go over thti
rug with this brush, and the lather
dries out almost immediately. No
harm whatever is done to the best ori•
ental rug.
To sponge spots from clothing, even
delicate silk and upholstery, dip a soft
sponge in the lather, wring as dry as
possible and sponge off the spot.
To wash sweaters, blankets or othet
flannels let the mixture become nearly
cold, soak the garments in it half all
hour or less, squeeze dry, rinse in clear
water, squeeze dry again and hang up.
The various ingredients used not
only remove grease and dirt, but Bel

"No."
"Why not?"

dares him to."
