Revelstoke Park,' B.G. ;(2) Silver Tip Fails, on Eight Mile Creek, eight miles north of Re. vedstoke. ;(3) Revelstoke, B.C., in Summer, Showing Snow -Capped Mt Begble. REVELSTOKE is situated on the Canadian Pacific Railway about half way between Sicamous and Glacier. It is a town of about 4,500 people, having altogether nine hotels, the leading hotel being the "Revel- stoke," situated right at the Depot. Revelstoke is most picturesquely sit- uated in the Valley of the Columbia River, and practically surrounded by mountains. Mount Begbio is always lain ineresting sight, and the Glacier ion Mount Begbie can always be seen from Revelstoke. The view from the ;hotel on a summer evening is magni- ificent. There are two trips from this place which are absolutely unique in the whole Canadian Pacific Rockies. One trip is nine miles north of Re- velstoke, along the Columbia River .to Silver Tip Falls, through the fa- Imous Columbia Canyon, which for !scenic beauty and thrills is unsurpass- ied on the American Continent; and ithe other is up Mount Revelstoke. The •fDominion Government is now building ,an automobile road from Revelstoke do the top of this mountain, and has ;recently expended 8200,000.00 on this Toad, which is now ten miles up the mountain. The road zig-zags up the mountain, having an excellent grade, a high-powered automobile being able to go up this road on high gear. Tour- ists who have made this trip as far as the road is completed, claim that there is no trip on the American con- tinent that can compare with it. Should tourists be desirous, ar- rangements can be made to have sad- dle horses awaiting them at the end of the automobile road, so that they can continue to the top of Mount Re- velstoke where a most beautiful na- tural park is situated. In -the months of July and August this park is a most brilliant pane ma of color, being covered with t most beautiful of wild flowers, whir give the appearance of[ the wholes mountain top being one glorious maser of red, yellow, and green, in the Geri= tre of which are Lakes Eva, Millar, and Prospect, the background being; the famous Revelstoke glacier. The, lakes are about five miles from they end of the automobile, road. 1, _ Get "More Money" for your Skunk Muskrat, Raccoon, Fo-ses,White Weasel, Fisher and other Fur bearers collected in your section SHIP TOUR FURS DIRECT to "SIIUBERTa"the largest house in the World dealing exclusively in NORTH AMERICAN RAW FURS a reliable—responsible—safe Fur Rouse with an unblemished rep- utation existing for "more than a third of a century," a long sue. cessful record of sending Fur Shippers promsr.SATISF:ICTORY AND PROFITABLE returns, Write for "Si1e , the only reliable, accurate market report and. price list published, Write for it—NOW—it'" MUM A.

KEEP THE HENS PRODUCING During the summer is the natural season for hens to produce eggs but it oftentimes happens that after April and May the egg production from many flocks rapidly decreases until the latter part of August and then there is an increase for only a few weeks. With the present high price of eggs it is desirable that the egg yield be as large as possible. The hot weaher and a large number of hens going broody is given as the cause for the decrease in egg yield. It has frequently been noticed that when harvest commences and the fowl have access to plenty of grain they usually start laying. It is pos- sible that mafly hens would give a better account of themselves if 011.11110. they were fed more carefully on an egg -producing ration. Many find that it pays to give the hens access to a dry mash at all times, besides the regular grain ration. When the runs are shaded the summer egg yield is usually increased. Exercise is neces- sary during the summer as well as in the winter, but unless the heavy breeds are given shade they become very lazy. On one large poultry ranch the egg yield was increased about 15 per cent. by giving the birds the run of an orchard during the hot weather. - „ If hens are removed from the nests as soon as they become broody and placed in a box with a slat or a wire bottom they are ,easily broken up. In a couple of weeks they commence laying, if they are well fed. It is a Forced to Leave School, Had St. Vitus' Dance Astonishing Cure of This Nervous Trope Effected by Use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Here ie a case where life-long grati- tutte will be felt for Dr. Ohase's Nerve rood. As it school girt and in later life Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. came to the rescue when the nerves gave out. Now a healthy, robust woman happily gives the credit to this great food euro for restoring her to health and strength. Miss Sadie M. White, 33 Waterloo street, Il'r'edericton, N, 13., writes: -- "When ten years of age a friend of mine had St. Vitus' Dance and she had to leave school and go under a doe- tor'e care. Instead of benefiting by the treatment she appeared be got worse. Her tonsils and tongue be- came so swollen than she could scarce- ly take any nourishmetit, For twd weeks she was this way and then took convulsions and ,.> nearly choked to death. She was ordered to the hoe- pital, but soon got worse again. T recommended Dr. Chase'ei Nerve Food to her and she used nine boxes, steads Hy grow better.

I wish you could see her now, a. strong, healthy, robust woman with two love- ly babied. She still uses the Neave hood when she feels out of sorts, but hes had no return of the old nervous trouble," For weak, puny, nervous children there is nothing like Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to enrich the blood, restore Die starved nerves and, start them on the way' to health.

Limit- ed, Toronto. mistake to allow a hen to remain on a nest for weeks at a time during the hot weather. They become very thin and usually infested with lice. Not only is the hen affected but the nest becomes a breeding place for lice, which readily spreads through the whole pen. With eggs selling around 30 cents per dozen it does not pay to have the hens idle, if a little extra feed and attention will keep them working. Got Sid of Broncliites Mr. W. H. Walker. Calmar, Alta., writes: -"1 am pleased to say that Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine has done much good to myself, wife and children. My eldest girl, 7 years, had bronchitis and the doctor who attended her did not seem to do much good. We got' Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine for her and she soon got well. We always keep this medicine in the house now ready for use and find that it soon cures coughs and colds." LIVE STOCK A change of pasture is good for both pasture and the stock. If possible, when the pasture be- gins to brown and gets short separate the sheep from the other stock. If you want to make pork cheaply make use of plenty of clover, alfalfa, rape, or some other form of green feed. Beef raising has come back to its own and the dairyman is not the only man who can show a profit from his farming operations. This is an opportune time to keep all the good females for breediug pur- poses. The outlook for live stock husbandry never was brighter. The average amount of milk sup- plied to calves at this season is by no means enough to quench their thirst. See that they get water besides. The man, or group of men, not showing enough interest in good stock to purchase and look after a good pure-bred sire will not likely make the best of a sire given to themior nothing. A little grain and a little summer silage would not come amiss now on most farms. Grain -fed stock usually produces more milk and better gains when the pasture begins to dwindle, Don't forget to keep the watering trough well filled. No animal will do better with a comparatively short pasture and an abundance of water than With plenty of pasture and a poor supply of this necessity. When sufficient feed is assured for winter it might be better to keg) the stock up in condition by pasturing the second crap of Clover on' one field rather than let them down to save the crop for later use. Keep the calves in at least during the day time. If they must be out, let them have the run of a grass pad- dock at night. Nothing will retard the growth of the young calves more than fighting flies in the hot sun. For Baby's Tender CClkiu A child's skin is tender as well as beautiful and eczema may be caused by dhating of clothing, the use of poor soap, exposure to cold or sudden change of temperature Probably no '.roat- ment for eczema has ever proven sa successful as Dzse, Chase's Oil'ment, and this applies articularly tv baby eczema. This ointment is delightfully soothing, stops the itching and conse- qpently prevents scratching. Gradually the sores are healed up and the skin is left soft and 'velvety. A merchant can get along without advertising; so can a wagon without grease, but it goes rather slow. Expostulating With the Thunder. In "The Rediscovered Country" S. 13. White gives this glimpse of a native custom in an East African thunder- storm: A 1Vakoma porter stood out stark na- ked in the rain and shouted back an answer in a loud tone of voice to every clap of thunder. lie was a fine sight, as he was re- vealed by the flashes—the upright pose, the rain streaming from his glistening body, the flicker of his metal orna- ments. 51'gaisga, later appealed to, said that he was the official thunder lord for his people. He was saying: -Go away! Go this way! Go that •way! You like to sit on high hills! 'i'ilere are no high hills here! Go to lkorongo, there are high hills!" He had also put "medicine" in a tree in camp. I asked M'ganga it' he himself believed in this. He grinned quietly and replied, "Well, the rain has gone." Subtle Advertising. A successful hotel manager pointed to the advertisement of a hotel at a fashionable resort. This advertise- ment read: "Special rates to single men." "The proprietor of that hotel," said he, "deserves to succeed. He lays in his •advertisement a subtle trap for mothers with marriageable daughters. They read the advertisement, and they conclude that, given lower rates at this hotel, single men will be plentiful They therefore decide that there is the !lace undoubtedly to take their daugh- ters." Then, laughing. he concluded: ,"'These mothers quite correctly be- lieve that as far as their daughters' chances of matrimdhy- are concerned the more the marryer."—Exchange. Military Skaters. In the Norwegian army there is a corps of infantry every man of which is an expert skater. On skates this corp; can perform a day's march of eighty miles, which equals the per- formances or the best trained caval- ry in Europe. The evolutions of the corps are confined to the great fiords which h indent the coast A t of Norway, those fiords being frozen over during the long winter season. Retort Courteous. "What!" exclaimed the spinster who was beginning to carry weight for age, "Do you mean to tell me your baby is ren mouths old and can't walk yet? Why, I could go it alone at the age of six months!" "Yes," rejoined the young mother, in- dignantly, "and 1 notice you have been goiug it alone ever since." Mind Reading. "Do you think there is any such thing as mind reading?" asked the em- inent diplomat. "Oh, yes!" replied Miss Cayenne. "It pay very close attention to what you say and analyze it carefully I often fancy I get a glimmer of what you are thinking about." A Good Judge. "I take great pride in my ability to jnclge human nature," said Ike Van Quentin, "A few months ago I let a friend have $10, and 1 was confident at the time he would not pay it back. And be didn't." It Is ever true that he who does nothing for others does nothing for himself.—Goethe. Men nre horn to be serviceable to one another; therefore reform the world or bear with it. Keep henhouses Clean.

Bullfighting, In tradition the bullfight dates from the time before Hercules is said to have visited Spain and driven off the wonderful cattle of Geryon. In actual recorded history it antedates Caesar's campaign in Hiseania, but the fight that is witnessed by the present day visitor in Madrid, Seville or Valencia is far more exciting and cruel than the contests between the noble Spaniard and the noble bull four centuries ago. A first class spectacle now involves the torturing and killing of seven or eight bulls and tit least thirty horses. A Hearty Eater. In a book on gastronomy appears this anecdote of the gastronomic prow- ess of a Swiss guard in the,,employ- ment of the Marechal de Villars: "One any the guard was sent for by the marechal, who had heard of his enor- mous appetite. `How many sirloins of beef can you eat?' he tentatively ask- ed. 'Ab, monseigneur, for me I don't require many—five or six at the most.' 'And how many legs of mutton?' 'Legs of mutton? Not many—seven or eight' 'And fat pullets?' 'Oh, as to pullets, only a few --a dozen.' `And of pigeons?' 'As to -pigeons, monseignenr, not many—forty, perhaps fifty.' 'And larks?' 'Larks, monseigneur? Al- ways.' " The Way to Float. y This is the advice of an old swimmer to those who cannot swim: "Any hu- man being who will have the presence of mind to clasp the hands, behind his back and turn the face toward the zenith may float at ease and in perfect safety in tolerably still water. When you first find yourself in deep water you have only to consider yourself an empty pitcher.' Let your month and nose. and not the top of your heavy head be the highest part of you and you are safe. But thrust up one of your bony hands and down you go— turning up the handle tips over the pitcher."are reason and 10 ie There T log ie this- -- Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO R I A CANADIAN NATIONAL AE' EXHIBITION sTr Empire Federation 1 Spectacle tal 1,200 Performers; 10 Massed Bands ; Chorus of 60 Voices Glorious Pageant symbolizing Im- perial Solidarity and Power Mammoth Scenic Reproduction of the British Houses of Parlia- ment, Westminster Abbey and the War Office. w ON ANDUNDER W SEA A ON LAND A R IN THE AIR R Skims that' Fame thrilled the Em- ' pire Re-enacted by Overseas Troops.
