Ont. to -t FOR ROUGH HANDS, About the first thing to do to a pair of unsightly hands is to soften and to whiten the skin. For the purpose there is nothing better than almond meal. Wash the hands thoroughly with soap and water, rinse, and before they are dry rub the bag of almond meal over them. Buttermilk, too, is an excellent white- ner. It is an inexpensive beautifier and a reliable one. Bathe the hands in it daily and notice the great improve- ment. Mutton tallow is an old-time remedy for rough hands. This should be slightly warmed and applied at night. A pair of old kid gloves with the fingers cut off and holes in the palms for ventilation should be drawn over the hands. In doing housework, when it becomes necessary to -use strong soap, counter- act its severe action upon the hands by rinsing them in vinegar and then in cold water. Stains upon the skin can easily be re- moved, Keep a bottle of peroxide of hydrogen handy, and when you desire to remove a stain add a few drops of ammonia to a small quantity and apply it to the discolored skin. Lemon juice is also excellent for this purpose, and wfil remove any ordinary stain. One of the best Whitening lotions is ;rade of equal parts of lemon juice and glycerine, to which a few drops••o'f car- bolic acid have been added. FOR THE CONVALESCENT The recovery of the patient very often depends upon the food taken and the powers of taking food depends greatly upon the way in which it is cooked or served. More food is required during convalescence from serious diseases than in a state of health as the body is not kept at a particular weight, but has to increase in weight. Restoration to health depends as much on the nurse as the physician. Bad nursing kills as many people as any disease. Cleanliness is a necessity when caring for the sick. Everything served should be as tempting as is possible to make it. The digestive system being weak, the ?ood must be prepared in a manner most easily digested. Liquid foods give the least trouble to the digestive organs; therefore are useful in cases of sick- ness. Prepare only sufficient food for the time being. Never permit it to be pre- pared before the patient, and upon no account allow any of it to remain in the sick room. Germs grow quickly in organic matter, andin all liquids; soup, milk and any other food may receive and convey infection. The food must all be fresh and varied as possible, with very little seasoning used. No solid food should be given inflammatory cases. Stimulants never, unless ordered by the doctor.

ONTARIO DEAREST PROVINCE FOR FOOD Ottawa, Oct. 31, --The Labor Depart- ment's October publication of the cost of Hying fi urest Showa that the average weekly budget of a workingman's family, for staple foods, fuel, lighting and rent, had by the end of September risen to $15.01, as compared with $14.63 for August last, $13.67 for September of last year, and $13.00 for September of 1911. The average is made up from prices obtained from sixty cities in Canada, and the items included concern practic- ally only the essentials of very plain living. Nothing is included for clothing, doctor's bills, amusements, churches or contingencies. • The increase in the cost of living for the wage-earners on the modest scale measured by rent at $16 per month, is $1.54 per week during the past twelve months, and $2 per week since Septem• ber of 1911. If the increased cost of clothing is also taken into account the total increase in the workingman's weekly bill for necesearies will be con- siderably greater. Unless his wages have gone up by more than twenty per cent, within the past four or five years he is worse off now than he was in 1911. Rent is the only item which shows any downward tendency. The average weekly cost of rent is now put at $4.08, as compared with $4.75 in September, 1913. Food costs $8 69 per week now, as compared with $7.73 in September of last year, $7.82 in September of 1914, and $7.13 in September of 1911. Ontario is the deatest province of the Dominion for food. The average weekly budget for the province is given as $9.18, as compared with $8.64 for Quebec, and *8.65 in Manitoba.

Caused by Mental Trouble Somewhat Akin to Epilepsy. Is there such a thing as temporary insanity? Many people think that the expres- sion merely covers the kindly inten- tions of a jury to save relatives pain, but numbers of doctors who have made a study of mental disorders emphati- cally declare it is no idle term. One doctor has stated that tempo- rary insanity is a condition of double consciousness, not dissimilar to epi- lepsy. A person normally quite sane may have attacks of temporary aber- ration lasting little more than a few minutes, especially after long bouts of hard, continuous mental work, being particularly liable if insomnia super- venes. Crimes have been committed in the early morning, when the perpetrator has not really been properly awake and has been horrified to find what he has done. This is a true case of temporary insanity, but it is comparatively rare, and a man in normal health would not suffer in this way. A specialist in mental diseases has stated that he knew a case in which a person was insane during a certain time each day and that others have been known when the patient was melte normal at ordinary times, but suffered from a temporary fit of mania regularly once a month..-Pearson's Weekly. Secrecy In Parliament. Heavy penalties are infaeted for the revelation of parliamentary secret ses- ion or cabinet decisions, but they cannot well be heavier than those which the parliament of Henry VII. in- flicted for a similar offense. One mem- ber of tho house of commons was fool- ish enough to tell the king himself What, the commons had been debating. He was sent to the tower, and a spe- cial act of parliament was passed by which he and his posterity were barred from sitting in the house it commons as the "representative of any place whatever." In the days of Queen Elizabeth a certain Mr. Hall, M. P., was found guilty of revealing the de- bates in the commons. He was ex- pelled from the house, sent to theTower for six months and fined f500 -a con- siderable fortune in those days. -Lon- don Spectator. Dark Nebulae. A new astronomical belief Is that there are not only dark stars in space, but dark nebulae. The dark stars and invisible, revealing themselves only by their effect on the motion or light of bright stars, but dark nebulae may be visible as unlighted masses shoving against the feebly luminous background of space. Professor E. E. Barnard. notes that many striking dark patches of sky hitherto supposed to be simply starless regions may be really dark nebulae.° The case of Hind's nebula in Taurus, which is now feebly visible after completely fading away from a state of conspicuous brilliancy shows that a nebula may lose its light, and perhaps many have never had any light. HEALTHIEST ONE IN THE FAMILY No Sign Of Dropsy And Kidney Trouble Since Taking "FRUIT-A-TIVES" HATTIE WARREN Port Robinson, Ont., July 8th, 1915. "No have used "Fruit-a-tives" in our house for over three years and have always found them a good medicine. Our little girl, Flattie, was troubled with Kidney Disease. The Doctor said she was threatened with Dropsy. Ii er limbs and body were all swollen and we began to think she could not live, Finally, we decided to try "Fruit -a -tires". She began to show improvement after me had given her afew tablets. In ashort time, the shelling had all gone down and her flesh began to look more natural. Now she is the healthiest one in the Amity and has no signs of the old ailment. We can not say too much for "Fruit-a- tives" and ivould never be without tharn ".

Young, of Orangeville, in a recent sermon, deplored the tendency of the secular press "to chronicle deeds of wicl'edness and put in an obscure position the story of some worthy and ennobling action " This complaint is scarcely a novelty. Does Mr. Young fully understand the newspapers's reason for existence? When truth really becomes stranger than fiction the newspaper records it. Not all of it? Here is the place for editorial judgment. A "feature" story will always be a• "feature," but if it runs to grossness, the average Canadian editor will expurgate the un- necessary elaboration of this side of the case. There have been times when such expurgation meant instant loss. A case is in mind. A sensational murder case was reported by three Canadian newspapers. One subdued the purple patches in the evidence. The other two left them as lurid as possible. During the two weeks of the trial the first lost 4,000 subscribers. The others gained between them about 7,000. This suggests the thesis that the public should be given all that they want -an utterly false position for any editor to assume. Yet an editor must know and follow in the rough what the people want. In the United States the Presidental election is of prime importance. Any Canadian newspaper man who spread a speech by Mr. Bryan over his front page and crowded the Somme offensive off would be a fool. In like manner, the editor who subdued a murder case with a touch of mystery in order to print a sermon by Dr. Jowett would be a lamentable spectacle in his profession. Here is another case for explanation. On the day of the Jeffries -Johnson fight one newspaper sold 37,000 extras. Dur- ing the Torrey -Alexander evangelistic meetings, which lasted two weeks, and which were reported to the extent of a page a day, the increase in circulation was less than 100. Let it be understood that a newspaper exists primarily to give the news. If in a surreptitious way, without allowing the public to suspect it, the editor can enlarge the general interest in the better things of life, if he can stimulate interest in books, in plays, in music, in religion, so much the better. Generally speaking, and this ' is without self - laudation, the tone of the Canadian papers is exceptionally high, higher, in fact, than the average tone of either American or English newspapers. London journals print court testimony in divorce trials which would never get past a news editor in this country. The "stork" has been working with a vengeance in the vicinity of Mount Forest. Triplets have been born to a couple in Proton township, and at the village of Conn, a few miles away, an- other woman has been presented with twins. Specific leer Bronchitis The turpentime used in Dr. Chase's syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine is not the ordinary commercial article, which is little used because of the unpleasantness of taste, but is specially extracted from tanwrac and sprude gum and so combined with other valuable ingredients as to be at the same time pleasant to use and wonder- fully effective in the cute of affection of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs. CANADA NEEDS MORE POULTRY, GREAT BRITAIN MORE EGGS. At no time in the history of the Dom- inion has the necessity for increased production of eggs and poultry been more apparent than at the prebent time, The demand is unprecedented. This is true whether for export or for home consumption. Consumers gener- ally and even producers themselves are eating more and more eggs. The average per capita consumption of eggs in Canada this year will be greater then ever before. The market for Canadian eggs and poultry is very firm. Prices to Pro- ducers are extremely high, but even at these prices trade is increasingly active alt.over the country. The prospects for a demand are very bright. The country is facing a shortage, not only of cur• rent receipts, but of Canadian storage stock as well. So great has been the ex port demand that we shall bo oblidged to import to meet our own require- ments. Increased production has never' rested upon a more secure foundation. That poultry on the farm are profit- able needs no argument. Eggs now rank as a staple article in the products of the farm. Poultry flocks can be increased materially without much additional out- lay for buildings and equipment, and the increased labor involved is not such as will bear heavily upon the time of those charged with the care of the stock. Some object to the present price of feed, but when it is considered that the selling 'price of the product is from forty to sixty per cent. higher than it was two years ago, the margin of profit is such as will compare favourably with that obtainable elsewhere on the farm. Canadian egg producers have respond- ed well to the call for increased pro- duction. The country as a whole which was importing eggs a few years ago, has, in the aggregate, produced more than sufficient for its own requirement this year, and last. Between seven • and eight million dozen Canadian eggs were exported to Great Britain last year, and as an indication of what is going for- ward this year, nearly one millon dozen were shipped during the first week of October. Yet the supply on the British market is still short, and there is a de- mand for many millions more. Increased production, more and better poultry, should be the motto of every Canadian farm and hoteestead. Canada has all the requisites for the production of a quantity far in excess of her own requirements, and with her favourable climate conditions can, with proper care and attention, produce qual- ity equal to the best in the world. Only the fringe of production possibilities has been touched up to the present. The Western Province, with their volames of cheap feed, are the natural home for the Canadian hen. The bulk of the surplus at the present time comes from the provinces of Ontario and Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec do not produce sufficient for their own require- ments. They must do more; and there is now an opportunity for Western Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta to demonstrate to Canada and the Empire as a whole what they can do in this connection in this great hour of expansion. The first experi- mental shipments of eggs from Winni- peg to the British market are either now, or soon will be, on their way, and it is hoped that the increase in produc- tion in the Western Provinces in the ensuing year will be such as to warrant the opening up of a big trade in this direction. Eggs are scarce in Canada at the present time. Current prices are high, and a sharp decline immediately follow- ing the conclusion of the War is not anticipated. When prices advance gradually, as has been the case in staple food products, they decline slow. ly. It will takersome years to re-estab- lish the normal meat supply upon the markets of the world, and while prices of meats are high, people will con- tinue to use increasingly large quant- ities of eggs. This condition will natur- ally be reflected in the matter of price. This is the situation. Readers may draw their own conclusion.

PAYING FOR BRAINS When farmers are unorganized, have plot got their own selling federations. and: their own agents in the market, they are bound to market badly. 'Their, fruit or other produce will co to a market overstocked and prices will fall, while in another market is scarcity. American fruit growers controlling the sale of their own fruit distribute it fairlyin the market, avoiding anyw he re either glut or scarcity. By these methods of co-operation the great 03 - operative federations were able to do two things, increase prices for the farmers and lower them to the con- sumer. The middleman who originally fleeced both producer and consumer is being eliminated, and the producers and consumers divide the profit he had be- tween them, in higher pricesto the farmer and lower prices to the pubhe..

The heart is a wonderful worker, plodding away year In and year out. forever pumping the blood through the body. So long as the blood is rich and nourishing it renews its own waste and keeps up a vigorous circu- lation of the blood through the arter- ies and veins of the human system. But when the blood gets thin the nerves are starved, motive power is lacking, the heart's action weakens and the circulation is slow. The hands and feet feel cold, there are cramps and pains in the legs and through the body, digestion fails, you become nervous and irritable and do not rest or sleep well. This letter will -give you some idea how admirably Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is suited to overcome derange- ments of this nature. It is, above all, a creator of new, rich blood, and with the blood in good condition the -nerves are soon restored and bodily organs resume their natural func- tions. Mrs. E. A. Hutchings, "Prairie View," Elva, Man., writes: "Before using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food my hus- band bad tried almost every remedy recommended as a tonic, He suffer- ed with cold feet, poor circulation of the blood and was always tired. He had pains in his feet and legs, and could get no rest or sleep at night: After the first box of the Nerve Food we could see an improvement, and now after using it for Six ?months, he Is an entirely different man. He eats and sleeps well and has nee'palns in his feet and legs. It has built up his health wonderfully, and we can re- commend it as a splendid nerve tonic," Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, 50 cents a box, 6 for $2.50, all dealers. or Ed- manson, Bates & Co., Limited, To- ronto.
