THE WINGHAM TIMES, FEBRUARY 5 1914 1Wercury period, which ends at this time, will came much and destructive taNnit during its continuance the first ten days of February. Piercing cold will visit most parts of the country from about the 12th to the 14th. A regular storm period covers the 14th to the 19th, having its center on the 160. As early as the 14th and 15th, change to warmer will begin in wes- tern extremes, the barometer will be- gin falling, winds will shift to souther- ly, and stories of rein, wind and snow will start on their eastward cateer. By the loth to 18th these storms will grow in severity as they cover the great central valleys of the continent. A reactionary storm period has its center on the 2lst, 22nd and 23rd. The new Moon at Solar eclipse node falls on the 24th, the center of the Venus peried. A regular storm period is central on the 27th, beginning on the 25th and ex- tending into the first two or three days of March. A marked barometie fall, attended by lightning, thunder and possibly tornadoes southward, need not surprise our readers on and touching the 26th. February. A regular storm period is central on fhe 4th, extending from the 2nd to the 7th. The Mercury equinoctial distur- bance is also eentral on the 4th. The Mercury influence is continued over from the last days of January, bringing with it cloudy, threatening conditions. By the 2nd and 3rd, marked fatl of the Barometer will be noted in western parts. Southerly winds and change to warmer will appear merging into storms, first of ram, wind and possibly thunder, turning later into snow, sleet and furious blizzards over much of the country, central and northward. These storms will reach their culminating crisis over the central valleys on and touching the 5th and 6th, disappearing along the Atlantic coast regions a day or two later. A very high barometer, with sweeping northwesterly gales, and cold wave of marked intensity, i1l consti- tute the western tangents of these dis- turbances, all advancing southeastward, the climax of high barometer and cold appearing one to three days behind the first stages of the storms. A reactionary storm period will bring falling barometer, change to warmer, and return to cloudiness and storms of rain, wind and snot/. The crisis of this period will fall on the 10th, llth and 12th, notably on the llth and 12th, as the Moon is in perigee on the 11th, and on the celebrated equator on the 12th, ollowing the Moon on the 10th.

A grain -buyer the other day asked a farmer on the market why he did not market his barley. The farmer was ready with his reasons. He drew a little note book from his pocket, in which were neatly -kept figures. He proceeded to explain them. Lase year this farmer bought a sow for $41. The sow bore nine little pigs. He reared them, and kept track of their cost, The principal items of their feed were 100 bushels of barley and 30 bush- els of oats, Reckoning the barley at 00e. a bushel, and the oats at 40 c., tl.e grain fed to the pigs would cost $72. Slops and other feed were not taken in account. In due time the pigs were sold, and the farmer received for them $188, On an investment, accordingly of $138, he made a profit in one year, of $75, and still had the sow. Reckoning the sow now as worth $35, the price received for the pigs would equal nearly $1 per bush- el for bariey. Of course the farmer's time and work tending the little pigs should be taken into account, but even then, it is worth while, with barley at its present price of around 60 cents. - Toronto Globe. For the Toilet. Crude petroleum is one of the best applicants for thin hair, and should be rubbed on the scalp, as it is the roots of the hair which need nourishing. Vaseline is a preparation of petroleum and is excellent for the hair. It should be rubbed directly on the scalp, through the parting of hair, but should not be used so often as to make the hair oily. Where the hair is growing scant on the temple the vaseline will help its growth. An excellent hair tonic is composed of tincture of cantharides, one ounce; oil of laveder, one-half dram; oil of rosemary, one-half dram; eau de col- ogne, eight ounces. Apply to the scalp with the finger tips every other night. Skin that eltsily chaps requires oil: very hot water is bad foe the hands, so is very cold water. A little powder- ed borax in the water will soften it corn meal should be used as a preven- tive and cure for chapped hands, as it is cleansing, and can be used in place of soap. If a very good vegetable oil soap is used with tepid water, then be- fore the hands are rinsed, rub well with corn meal, it is excellent to make them smooth. Glycerine should not be applied undilated to the skin, as it is exceedingly drying, and will absorbthe moisture from the skin. It should always be first diluted with an equal quantity of water. The water may be roiewater, and half as much lemon juice may be added to whiten. The face and hands should not be washed just before going out in the air when the weather is cold, but if it must be done, they should be well dried. Hard water should not be used; it can. be made soft by dissolving a little borax in it. FEMININE FACTS. There are 347 women carmen and wag- oners in England.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, ana that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con- stitutionel treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J.

In selling their children, the Japan ese, in the fernine-stricken districts, says the London Chronicle, are follow- ing a cuetom that has not always been unknown in Engand. In the year 1017, King Canute found it neseccate to issue an edict forbidding English parents to sell tneir children to the Irish as slaves, in accordance with their pleasing habit. They managed better than that in an- cient Egypt, for there the unwanted child had only to be exposed on the banks of the Nile to be adopted and protected by the State. Mayors and other representatives of a large number of menicipalities, meet- ing at Windsor, adopted resolutions favoring deepening of the St. Lawrence system waterways. A Conservative Opinion of Liberals. Mr. John Boyd, the writer of "The Political Arena" in the Montreal Mail, the Conservative paper recently start- ed in that city says: As a matter of pure curiosity I dropped into the Ritz-Carlton the other evening and took a look over the gath- ering of Liberals who were attending the Fielding dinner. '1 here was Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself, looking in ex- tremely good health and with a cheer- ful and buoyant air. Mr. Fielding, though he had aged somewhat, is also looking much better than when I saw him last, his health having apparently been benefitted by his trip abroad, and we may look for some vigorous articles from him, now that he has become once more a member of fiis old profes- sion. Rodolphe Lemieux, without whose presence no Liberal gathering would be complete, was also there. George Graham, smiling and pleasant as ever, had a good word for everybody. His personal popularity is not only ad- vantageous to Graham himself, but is also a great asset to his party. What struck me most in connection with the gathering was the marked enthusiasm that prevailed. It would have been difficult indeed for a stranger to have realized that these were the represent- atives of a party who had received such a crushing defeat a little over two years ago. Say what we will, the Lib- erals are certainly good fighters, and they are apparently determined to take the fullest advantage of present condi- tions to help the cause. The Csnserva- tives will have to be ready for an ag- gressive campaign during the session. To Cheek a Cold, It is easy to check a cold if you begin in time. Frequent doses of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine keep the cough loose, allay the inflammation and so preyent itspreading to the bron- chial tubes and lungs. Mrs. S. M. Moore, Shortreecl, 13. C., writes. "I wish to state my gratitude for Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine, for it cured a cold which a friend said would soon put me in the grave." TREASURY* RELICS Historical Treasures on File In the Auditor's Office. •••••••••••.0.1T... ACCOUNTS OF G. WASHINGTON. These Cover a Period. of Eight Years and Are In the Handwriting of the Great Patriot -Receipts Signed by Daniel Webster andMenry Clay. The archives of the 'United States treasury are rich with race. In tin' Dies of the office of the mull to r of the treasury department may be seen the canceled check showing the payment to Lafayette in 1824 or $200,000 by the United States "in consideration of his services and sacrifices in the war of the Revolution," William IL Craw- ford, then secretary of the treasury, signed the warrant, and in the char. acteristic French handwriting on the reverse is the indorsement of Lafa• yette, A canceled check or warrant for $15,000,000 represents the payment for the Louisiana purchase under the treaty of 1803. The purchase under the treaty, char- acterized at the time as "Seward's fol- ly," of Alaska is evidenced by a war- rant for $7,200,000, signed by F. E Spinner, who at the time MIS secre- tary of the treasury. The wording of the warrant begins and runs, "Pay to the undersigned envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor of all the Rus- slas." This warrant called for pay- ment in coin and was so paid through the Riggs bank, then a private bank- ing institution of Washington, after being indorsed by Edward de Stoecke, the Russian minister at.that time, 'rhe purchase of the Philippine Is- lands from Spain is represented in the important financial transactions of the government by four warrants of $5,- 000.000 each. As it treaty cannot be entered into by one country directly with one with which it is at war, the rrants were indorsed by Jules Cam bon, the ((Tench minister, who had del. egated authority to represent the Span- ish government. The Panama canal purchase repre- sented the largest financial transaction of the government. The payment was made by a common draft, payable to "J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., special dis- bursing agent," through vvhom it was paid to the French company, the for- mer owner. The late .1. Pierpont Mor• gan himself indorsed the draft A short time previous there had been is- sued a warrant for $10,000,000, cover- ing the cost of the canal zone, an area of ten miles on each side of the canal. As these canceled cheeks are held as receipts. It could happen, in case of their loss. that the government might not be able to show that the moneys were actually paid. Not less interesting as relics are "Ac- counts -G. Washington with the Unit- ed States, commencing June, 1775, and ending June, 1753, comprehending a space of eight years." Under the cap- tion are three or four dilapidated calf bound account books in the handwrit- ing of the groat American patriot. These accouuts were mostly kept while he Was on the march, but they were brought up with great accuracy from day to day. At the end of each book there is a comprehensive recapitulation. Indlvid• ual tnoney and funds of the govern- ment expended by him are specifically imileated. In a footnote he calls at- tention to a particular item which he appeared to have paid. but for which he had no voucher. he deducted the O mount of the Item from his credit until the matter could be definitely set- tled. All of his accounts are express- ed in .English money. A contemporaneous account book kept by Caleb Gibbs shows the personal ex- penses of Washington and his military "family," meaning„ no doubt, his im- mediate staff. The entries are usually headed. "headquarters, on the march." For the most part they cover purchases of food supplies, but now and then are such entries as: "To eash for a broom that Peter bought some time ago, sixpence." "Cash paid for mending the chariot. I shilling." "Agreed with Peggy for 4 shillings per month for the general's washing and 4 shillings per dozen for the gen- tlemen of the family." Among other things of interest in the auditor's office are books showing al- lowances to members of congress to and from Washington. In the Thir- teenth congress $003 for mileage is re- ceipted in a faint, uncertain hand "I). Webster." A payment of $560 for 111 days' attendance is shown to have been made to Henry Clay.- Harper's Weekly. The Power of the Bank. Mr. Peter McArthur, in discussing banking and other matters in one of his versatile weekly letters in the Farmer's Advocate, makes a statement which is not very creditable to our Oanadian legislators nor to the shrewdness of the people, but 'which contains a good deal of truth. He says: This leads me to believe that in the United States they have taken decided steps towards putting the banking busi- ness in its proper place, but I do not propose to make any study of the mat- ter just now. The banking situation has been settled in Canada for the next ten years. I cannot resist noting, how- ever, that the new Currency Bill in the United States is meant to break up the Money Trust and put an end to int -r - locking directorates by which the ness of the country has been coni :ed by a few men. This is interesti..g in view of the fact that our Banker's As- sociation has in an open and legalized way, all the power that the American Money Trust was striving to get, secret- ly, and that interlocking directorates have reached a point of perfection in Canada never dreamed of in tt e United States. It was shown during the de- bateem the Bank Act that twenty-three men control all the important trans- portation, financial and industrial enter- prises of Canada, but nobody seems to be objecting. They couldn't stand such O state of affairs in the States, but we can which shows that we are superior to the Yankees -in endurance Our representatives in Parliament were practically unanimous in giving their blessing and extended privileges to our real rulers, so why shouldn't our lionaires keep right on piling up their millione? After they get all the mil- lions thet can be squeezed out of the country we'll get busy and it will be worth while watching us. Yes indeed! We'll put a couple of padloeks and a burglar alarm and an armed guard on our stable door -alter the horse has beerrotlen. Just you watch us! Bowling.. Bowls, or bowling, is one of the most popular and ancient of English pas- times, its origin being traceable to the twelfth century. It was held in such disfavor for years that laws were en- acted against it, and it was an ille- gal pursuit. Alleys were built, how- ever, as It could not be played out of doors during the winter, and the game flourished in spite of opposition. In the beginning of the eighteenth cen. tury greens began to Increase, while the alleys were rigorously and abso lutely suppressed It soon became a royal game. and no gentleman's place was complete without it bowling green -New- York Presa. Food for tho Layers The best all-round ration, and at the same time the earlieat produced, is that used by the Indiana Experiment station. It consista of two parts corn, two part wheat, one part oats, to be fed in deep litter. There is small danger of them consuming too much so long as they are kept busy enough to be active and healthy. A fat hen is a profitable hen, provided it is firm, muscular fat. An over -fed, flabby, lazy biddy is subject to every ill that chickens are heir to. The dry mash to be fed in a* hopper, consists of five pounds bran, five pounds shorts and three and one-half pounds meat scraps. The meat scrape may be substituted by 62 pounds skim milk. In , actual practice we find milk valuable I aside from furnishing protein, and use I it liberally. At the experiment station 1 the hens are required to eat about one- half as much mash as grain. The hens must, of course, have grit, crushed shells and water. Suceullent food is indispensable, and may be given in the form of fresh vegetables. Silage is growing in favor and is all right. The result of this experiment showed that the hens getting the protein, in their feed laid 125 eggs a year. The hens having the grain only laid 24 eggs in a year. After paying for the skim milk and beef scrap, the hens having a I balanced food produced eggs at 8 to 9 I There Is nlways hope In A man that actually and earnestly, woree In idle- tle.ss alone Is there perpetual despair. - Carlyle.
