ILLUSTRATION STATIONS IN
CANADA.
The Department of Agriculture of
the Dominion Government is carrying
on IllustratiOh work in crop production
and cultural methods with farmers in
the provinces of Quebec, Alberta and
Saskatchewan.
Farmers owning or operating land
favourably situated for the carrying on
of such work co-operate with the
Department.
The farmer puts under the direction
of an officer of the Dominion Experi-
mental Farms System. a part of hie
farm 'having a good wide frontage on a
well travelled highway, each field
having the same frontage along the
same highway, so that the crone and
cultivation are unavoidably in evidence
• to the cascual traveller and easily in-
spectea by the interested visitor.
The Department. for the first year
at least, furnishes the seed necessary
to sow such of the fields as it is de-
cided to put under crop that year. In
subsequent years the farmer saves
enough of the best of the crop grown
on these fields to do the necessary
seeding. This, of course, provided the
grain produced is satisfactory as to
purity and germinate power.
All cultural and harvesting operations
in connection with these fields, i. e.,
the ploughing, harrowing, etc., of the
fields and the sowing, harvesting and
threshing of the grain therefrom are
done by the farms. All work indicated
above is done in exactly such ways and
at exactly such times as directed by
the Illustration Station Division of the
ThrniQDEXperinlental Farm System.
The farmer keeps a record of the
mount of time taken to perform the
different oPerations on each field and
threshes the grain harvested separately
g6 that it will be known how much is
harvested from each field.
The records jilet mentioned of the
work and crops resulting, together with
brief totes made each Yieek, are duly
entered on blank forms provided for
that purpose. The work of making
such tinted and enteting up the Work
done on each field does not entail more
than one hour's work each month.

Pain is a blessing in disguise.
It is Nature's danger signal to warn
you that there is something wrong in
the system.
While headache may result from a
variety of causes, it most frequently de-
notes a starved condition of the nerves.
The brain is the headquarters er
"central" of the nervous system. Here
nerve force is consumed at an enormous. ,
rate. If there is any lack of rich, red
-blood from which to form new nervous
energy the brain is first to feel it and
the head aches.
Headaches may be stopped by powerful
drugs, but that is like breaking the semaphore
which warns the engineer of danger.
The only wise way is to increase the amount
of rich, red blood in the human body by using
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and thereby feed the
starved nerves back to health and vigor.
Not only will the headaches disappear, but
you will sleep well, feel well ad gradually re-
gain strength and confidence. •The Nerve Food
will sharpen the appetite, improve digestion
and build up the whole system.
In this way the headache will prove a bless-
ing. It has warned you of approaching nerv-
ous collapse while yet there is a foundation on
which to build good health.

On all these farms whether located in
the Province of Quebec, or in
Saskatchewan or Alberta, systematic
rotations of crops suitable to the district
served as well as the best cultural
methods and most 'suitable varieties of
crops are being demonstrated.
NEGLECT OF FEEBLE-MINDED
---
Serious neglect of feeble-minded in
the province, with grave attendant re-
sults, is the charge again renewed
against the government this time at a
meeting of the Academy of Medicine in
Toronto, Conditions in Toronto and
other centres were described by Dr. C.
K. Clark, retiring superintendent of the
Toronto General Hospital and President
of the Toronto Branch of the Provincial
Association for the care of the Feeble-
minded, and Dr, C. M. Hincks of the
Psychiatric Clinic, as "revolting"
"awful," "ghastly," and„ "Nauseat-
ing." When the facts are disclosed,
said Dr. Hincks "they should make
your blood boil at the government's
indifference."
It isn't as if this was the first time
the question had been brought before
the attention of the , government. It is
one of the many eases where the
government has deliberately ignored
warnings and compliments and are now
reaping thh harvest of open discontent.
At a meeting of the Legislation Com-
mittee of the City of Hamilton in March
of this year, Alderman Wright, Cons-
ervative, censured the government for
neglecting to deal with quotations relat-
ing to the feeble-minded. In April of
this year Dr. Clark placed the matter I cannot find words to speak our grat-
strongly before the government at the itude for his cure." -

DISGRACE OF LEISURE
AN OVERSEAS MINISTER
NEW OFFICE HAS BEEN CHEAT-
ED IN DOMINION CABINET.
Sir George Perley Will Undertake
the Task of Looking After Can-
ada's Interest in Great Britain
and Will oek Also After Effi-
ciency and Welfare of the Ex-
peditionary Forces.
SIR GEORGE PERLEY bas
been appointed Minister or
the Canadian Overseas Forces
in Great Britain, and will
preside over a sub -militia council
which it is intended to establish
there. The requisite order -in -
Council was passed last week. The
situation leading up to the new
system is outlined in the following
memorandum issued by Sir Robert
Borden:
"During his recent visit to Great
Britain the Minister of Militia gave
very careful consideration to more
effective arrangements in connec-
tion with the overseas forces, and
reached the conclusion that a com-
mittee or sub -militia council ought
to be established. In view of the
unexpected length of the war and
the unprecedented efforts which are
being exerted by Canada, in common
with the rest of the Empire, for Its
defence and for the common welfare,
careful attention was necessarily
given to the situation which has de-
veloped.
"The forces already despatched by
Canada for overseas service in
Europe number about 258,000. The
expenditure involved in the organ-
ization, maintenance, equipment, and
direction overseas of these forces is
very great, and every available effort
must be made to assure not only the
highest degree of efficiency, but the
most thorough and prompt co-opera-
tion of the overseas forces wita
those of the Mother Country and of
the other dominions, as well as the
most economical and careful admin-
istration of the means which are ap-
propriated for that purpose. Having
regard to all these considerations, it
has been thought desirable that, in
connection with the proposal to es-
tablish such a committee or coun-
cil, there should be a member of
the Government resident in London
and charged with important duties
and responsibilities in connection
with the overseas forces. The Min-
ister of Militia. can visit Great Brit-
ain only occasionally, while a resi-
dent Minister would be continually
in touch with the British Govern-
ment, as well as with all questions
touching the efficiency and welfare
of the Canadian Expeditionary
Force.
"The necessary orders -in -Colman
for the purpose have been passed,
and Sir George Perley, who for two
years has been resident in London,
discharging the duties of High com-
missioner, has been selected by the
Prime Minister to undertake the
duties and responsibilities of Min-
ister of the Overseas Forces. He
will bring to the important respon-
sibilities which he has undertaken
qualities and experience which will
enable him to give splendid service
to the country in the discharge of
his duties."
Lady Scott, widow of the great ex-
plorer, writing in the Daily Mail, says:
"Exemption can be had only from
one's own conscience; and where the
need is so urgent I do not see who can be
exempt except for some higher skilled
utility. At such a time as this no able-
bodied citizen has the right to leis-
ure. Ease and comfort for one can enly
be bought by strain, overwork, or death
itself for someone else.
"I would say this also. Parents have
no more right to keep back their girls
from the factory than their boys from
the ranks. The moral advantage of ser-
vice far outweighs the moral danger of
changed conditions of life. Indeed, to
suggest that girls cannot come and go
about the business of real work unharm-
ed seems to me an insult to our civiliza-
tion and our race.
"But, above all, you will escape the
maments which come to any self-respect-
ing girl or woman when she asks herself
whether it is right or fair or decent
that she should be having a good time
while our men -folk are facing and suf-
fering what we hear of—and much, too.
that we do not. It is no small moral
comfort in these to feel yourself clear
of the disgrace of leisure.
Good Results Already Seen.
The first results from the work-
ing of the Ontario Temperance Act
will be found in the cities, and al-
ready these results are becoming
known. Lieut. -Colonel Grassett,
Chief Constable of Toronto, in a
statement covering the six weeks fol-
lowing the sixteenth of September,
comments on the marked change in
conditions. For the period from
September 15 to October 15, 1915,
there were in Toronto 1,059 arrests
for drunkennelis, and for the same
period this year, which is concur-
rent with the operation of the new
law, there were only 214.
"Evidence of satisfaction with this
era of prohibition is being given
constantly by men who were never
known to be temperance advocates,"
says Colonel Grassett, and he cites
several cases where individuals have
been benefitted by the Aet, and one
hotelkeeper who acknowledges that
the bar was an abomination and he
was glad to see it go.
The/economic advantage, which is
principally bat was in the minds
of the Government when the law was
proposed, is equally significant.
There is a marked absence of loiter-
ing around hotels now, and many
former habituates are now seen in
the company of their families and
the necessities of life are taking the
place of the whiskey glass. It would
seem that the Ontario Temperance
Act, given the same reasonable en-

WINGHAM - ONTARIO
A TERRIBLE INDICTMENT.
To the Editor:—
Hon. N. E. Kendall, of Iowa, in the
House of Representatives in urging the
House to !pass the Webb -Interstate -
Liquor -Shipping -Bill over the President' s
veto spoke as follows:—
"It is significant, Mr. Speaker, that
in all the perfervid oratory which has
been indulged, in all the insidious liter-
ature which has been circulated, in all
the voluminous advertisements which
has been negotiated, nobody has vena
tured to extenuate the saloon except as
an agency of evil, toc formidable to be
overthrown. This circumstance is not
remarkable. As a national institution
it is all liability and no asset. As a
local enterprise it is all burden and no
benefit. The American dram shop can-
not be defended upon any principle
which appeals to the normal sensibility
or the business intelligence of the com-
munity. It is a rebel against good
government. It dictates nominations,
purchases elections, corrupts the ballot,
and falsifies the returns. It smirches
the legislature, soils the executive and
and stains the judiciary. It is a foe of
organized society. It over -awes the
pulpit, under mines the platform, and
subsidizes the press. It discredits the
constitution, despises the statues,
denounces the congress and derides the
courts. It is the destroyer of domestic
happiness, It buetalizes the husband,
desolates the wife, debauches the son,
betrays ,the daughter. It is without
concern for truth, without regard for
honor, without reverence for virtue.
It has no tolerance for church, no inter-
ests in schools, no consideration for
home, on expectation of Heaven, no
apprehension of Hell. The patience of
America is exhausted, and we shall
temporize with the infamy no longer.
All the manifold forced of sobriety, of
decency, of respect for order, of loyalty
to law, of love or mankind, are mar-
shalling in invincible phalanx to pulver-
ize the rum power. And they will
eventually triumph, because their
righteous warfare is sustained b# the
fervent hopes of all gond men and
sanctified by the holy prayers of all
good women. I regret exceedingly to
disagree with the president in the con-
cluding hour of hid administration.
Upon all political' issues I am disposed
to ackontyledge allegiance to the leader
of my party; but upcn a moral question
such as this I refuse to surrender my
convictions to him or to any other man."

to submit adequate plans to meet the
serious conditions disclosed in the report
of the Inspector of Feeble-minded.
The government, following their ordin-
ary custom of ignoring such reforms,
voted down the resolution.
The problem of the feehleeminded is
of the utmost importance and seri-
ousness, and against the government
there is a serious indictment.
