35 St. Rose St., Montreal. April 4th.
"For over two years I was sick and
miserable. I suffered from constant
Headaches, and had Palpitation of the
Heart so badly that Ifeared' would die.
There seemed to be a lump in my
stomach and the Constipation was
dreadful. I suffered from Pain in the
Back and Kidney Disease.
I was treated by a physician for a year
and a half and he did me no good at all.
I tried " Fruit -a -tines" as,a last resort.
After using three boxes, I was greatly
improved and twelve boxes made me
well. Now 1 can 'work all day and, there
are no Headaches, no Palpitation, no

SO EASY
e•
So easy to say what another would
do,
So easy to settle his cares,
So easy to say what another would
And dispose of the burden he bears.
It is easy to bid him be brave and
strong,
And to make all his shortcomings
known;
But, oh, it's so hard when the care and
the wrong
And the dangers we face are our own.
It is easy to stand in another man's
place
When our comforts of life are assured,
And the sting of the rain beating sharp
in our face
By him must be bravely endured.
It is easy to tell him the path he must
take
And to bid him to laugh at his care,
But, oh, it's so hard when it's our
hearts that ache
And we have the buxdens to bear.
We all know the things that another
should do,
His faults are like books on our
shelves,
We can ponder them over and read
and review,
But we haven't a book on ourselves.
We can settle the other man's troubles
each day,
His griefs we calmly discuss,
It is easy to sweep all his troubles
away,
But we can't do the same thing for
us.
The need of another it's easy to see,
When our wants are all satisfied,
And bold and courageous it's easy to be
When it isn't our souls that are tried.
But, oh, it's so hard when we're
stumbling along
To keep ourselves steadfast and true;
It is easy to tell some one else to be
strong,
It's easier to talk than to do.
-Edgar A. Guest.
Eczema on Baby's Ear
Mrs. F. Clarke, Belmont, Man.,
writes: -"My baby had eczema on her
ear. The soar was very bad and nothing
seemed to do her much good, Hearing
of the remarkable cure Dr. Chase's
Ointment was making, we sent for
some, and after the third application
the sore began to heal. I am glad to
say that it is quite well now and we
give the credit to Dr. Chase's Oint-
ment. We cannot recommend this
preparation too highly.
MIND-READING EXTRAORDINARY.
A simple little "mind-reading" trick
that you can do with a pencil and a
watch will greatly mystify anyone who
does not know the secret. Ask your
victim to think of one of the numerals
on the watch dial, and for every time
that you tap the crystal with the pencil
to add one to his chosen number. At
the tap that brings the amount in his
mind to twenty your pencil will rest
over the hour number that he selected.
The trick is very simple. For the
first feven taps strike at random any of
the numbers on the dial, but at the
eight tap strike 12; at the ninth, 11; at
at the tenth, 10, and so on round, back-
ward, until the other person announces
that he has reached 20 in his count.
If he has followed Instructions, the
pencil will then rest upon the chosen
number, because if he chose 12 -the
highest number that he could take -
eight taps will bring it to 20, and your
pencil, according to instructions, will
then be on 12, and any other number
selected on the dial will be less than 12
by just the amount that, when the
chooser reaches 2G, will cause the pen-
cil taps to shift backward from 12 to
the number the other person chose.
ASK MEN OF CANADA LIST
OF 24 QUESTIONS
Lieut. -Col. Henry Brock, Director
of National Service for Toronto district,
Last night stated that the Postoffice
Department would gather as soon as
was possible the imformation sought
by the Director -General of National
Service, and that the fac-simile of the
card to be issued to every male be-
tween the ages of eighteen and sixty-
five years, with many questions, which
appeared in a Montreal paper, was
substantially the card which the
Director -General had submitted to
him for his opinion.
Col. Brock says that the census is
purely for industrial purposes, and
not to aid recruiting.
Each male will receive a card and
be asked to return it to the Postoffice
Department. If it is not received
within the ten days the Postmaster will
be expected to ascertain the reason
why it has not been returned.
•The questions are:
1. What is your full name?
2. How old are you?
3. Where do you live? Province?
4. Name of city, town, village or
postoffice, street, number.
5. In what country were you born?
6. In what country was your father
born?
7. In what country was your mother
born?
8. Were you born a British subject?
9. If not, are you naturalized?
10 How much time have you lost in
the last twelve months from sickness?
11. Have you full use of your arms?
12. Of your legs?
13 Of your sight?
14. Of your hearing?
15. Which are you -married, single
or a widower?
16. How many persons besides your-
self do you- support?
17. What are you working at for a
living?
18. Whom do you work for?
19. Have you a trade or profession?
20. If so, what?
21. Are you working now?
22. if not, why?
23. Would you be ,willing to change
your present work for other necessary
work at the same pay during the war?
24. Are you willing if your railway
fare is paid to leave where you now
live and go to some other plats in
Canada to do such work.

NEW COINS IN STATES
New half dollars, quarters and dimes,
said to be among the most beautiful
coins ever issued by Uncle Sam, will
soon be in circulation. American banks
have placed their order for delivery be-
fore Christmas.
Designers of the dies for the new
pieces had in mind the difficulty en-
countered in stacking coins now in
circulation and have moulded them to
pile more easily.
The half dollar design bears a back-
ground of the Stars and Stripes with
Liberty, standing full length occupying
the foreground. Sun's ray and branches
of oak and laurel are also shown. On
the other side an eagle with wings un-
folded, is perched on a mountain crag.
Near by is a mountain pine sapling.
The new 25 -cent piece emphasizes
preparedness for peace. Liberty is
shown in a full length figure, front
view, stepping toward the gateway of
the country. On the wall is "In God
We Trust." The left arm of Liberty,
bearing a shield, is raised in an attitude
of protection, while the right band
holds an olive branch. An eagle with
wings extended occupies the reverse
side.
Simplicity marks the design of the
new dime. Liberty, with a winged cap,
rods and battleaxe, is shown, while
above this blossoms a full foliaged
branch of olive.
Adolph A. Weinman, sculptor, de-
signed the dime and half dollar, while
Herman A. MacNeil, designed the
quarter.

juice will renew tarnished brass.

COOKING POTATOES WITH THE
SKINS ON
While boiling vegetables the nutrients
soluble in water may be disolved out
and lost, says Conservation. The
nutrients liable to be lost include protein
compounds, mineral constituents and
sugars. The Minnesota and Connecticut
Experiment Stations have conducted
interesting experiments in connection
with this subject. The first experi-
ments were made with potatoes, which
were boiled under different cgnditions,
and the loss determined. When the
potatoes were peeled and soaked for
several hours before boiling, the loss
amounted to 52 per cent. of the total
nitrogenous matter and 38 per cent. of
the mineral substance; when the
potatoes were peeled and put into cold
water, which was then brought to the
boiling point as soon as possible, the
loss amounted to about 16 per cent. of
the nitrogenous matter or protein and
19 per cent. of the mineral matter;
potatoes peeled and placed at once into
boiling water lost only about 8 per cent.
of the nitrogenous matter, although
the Toss of mineral matter was about
the same as in 'the preceding case;
when, however, potatoes were cooked
with the skills on, there was but a
trifling loss of matter, either nitrogen-
ous or mineral. In the baking of
potatoes there ie practically no loss
other than the very little which may
escape in the moisture given off.
To obtain the highest fo;td vaihe,
potatoes should not be peeled. When.
peeled there is less loss by puttitig
directly into hot water and boiling
quickly. Even then the loss is consider-
able. When potatoes are peeled and
soaked in cold water the loss is very
great. It has also been found that con-
siderable losses occur in the boiling of
other vegetables, such as carrots, beets
and parsnips. The loss in the mineral
matter is serious. as vegetables furnish
mineral materials from which teeth and
bone are formed. Vegetables should
be boiled in large pieces and in as small
a quantity of water as possible.
To prevent the serious Loss which
occurs when the water in which vege-
tables have been boiled is tbrown out,
the water should be boiled down and
used in the making of the sauces which
are to be served with the vegetables.
