Beads have the most tenacious 4iold
on the modern imagination. Is it that
they hold our imagination enthralled?
Is it because heads are suggestive of
luxury, of splendor, that we like them?
Perhaps it is a relic of our Indien pee-
decessors but that cannot be the ex-
planation, for Paris eeems to like beads
as well as we do. However, nobody
seems to know whether the Indians
would barter their most prized possess-
ions for beads fer their brightness and
color, or because to them, too beads
suggested splendour and luxury?
The Indite. he it remembered, were
aiel are pemee of imagination,
Whatever the reason, we, do cling to
our fondness for beads long after we
have forgotten some of the things that
interested us at the time the craze for
beads came in.
Beaded tunics are shown on many of
the new evening frocks. Sometimes
the beads are sewed on net and some-
times they are simply strung on silk and
formed into long tunics.
Beads are worn about the neck. And
beads are embroidered on the neck line
of chiffon and net evening frocks,
A new model by Drecoll is made of
black taffeta and chiffon. The sleeves
are long end float:ng, like the old angel'
sleeves; they are made of chiffon, and
bright red beads are fastened along
the edge. A double line of beads out-
lines the V-sheped neck, and round de-
signs worked in heads are used on the
bodice and the peplum.
OVERDOING THE DOSE.
Even so docile an npologist for the
Ontario Government as the Toronto
Telegram is forced to enter a word of
protest against the curb placed on the
Public Accounts Committee of the Leg-
islatuae. In its Friday issue the Tele-
gram has this to say:
"Loyalty to piney requires G. Howard
Ferguson, M. P. P., to officiate as a
traitor to himself.
"The ability of Mr. Ferguson should
not be frittered away in the menufac-
eure of rulings that deprive the Ont-
ario Opposition of its right to a wide- ,
open enquiry.
"'I lie Proudfoot enquiry was throttled
by the strong-leanded chairmanship of
G. Howard Fergasoe, M. P.P. The
same authority is being operated as a
curb on the activity of the Public Acc-
ounts Committee, The rulings of Chair-
man Ferguson may be 'justified accord-
ing to the strict letter of he law. The
multiplicity of these rulings tends to
impair the glory of the Whitney Gov-
ernment and to lesson the possibilities
of Mr. Ferguson's own future useful-
ness. There will be fewer blunders in
public life when representatives of the
people refuse to put themselves on the
road to the scrap heap in the proscess
of attempting to prevent enquiry into
the performance of bunglers and
blunderers,"
THE EXPERIMENTAL FARMS
REPOPT,
The imformation contained in the an-
nual Reports of the Experimental Farms
of the Dominion Department of Agri..
culture is so varied and complete as to
render these early volumes almost
worthy the name of "Encyclopedia of
Agriculture". The Experimental Farms
System embraces the Central Farm and
twenty Branch Farms and Stations,
each manned by a staff of specialists.
At these wide -spread, well-equipped
institutions practically every phase of
agriculture, from the study of suppres-
soin of plant oiseases to the breeding
and raising of all manner of orchard,
garden and field crops and classes of
farm animals, are taken up. In addition,
seven outlying sub -stations carryon and
report upon work of an agricultural
nature.
The report for the year endingMarch
31st, 1913 makes a volvme of nearly 700
pages crammed with the meat of what
was accomplished and found out during
the year. The information is so elassi-
fied and treated as to be readily avail-
able to the reader in whatever subject
he may chance to be interested. A
large edition has been printed so as to
supply for some time at least every ap-
plicant who will drop a card for a copy
to the Publications Branch, Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa.
A co-operative society had been start-
ed in Welland and a store is to be open-
ed.
J. W. Evans, C. E., has been appoint
ed City Engineer for Belleville at $150
per month.
Rev. Canon Richard Hicks of Simcoe,
rector of Trinity Church there since
1891, died after a week's illness of
pneumonia in his 64th year.
Messrs. L. M. Hayes, K. C., of Peter-
boro' and Anson Spotton of Harriston,
were sworn in at Guelph at Senior and
Junior Judges of Wellington county.
The area of Alaska is nearly 600,000
square miles, almost equal to that of
the entire eastern half of the United
States.

"MY ONLY
MEDICINE"
Says Mrs. Corbett, Are "Fruit-a-tives"
"They Keep Me In Perfect Health"
1911
Mns. ANNIE A. CORBETT
ONT., May 14th. 1913
"I have used "Fruit-a-tives" for Indi-
gestion and Constipation with most
excellent results, and they continue to
be my only medicine. I am highly
Pleased with "Fruit-a-tives" and am
not ashamed to have the facts published
to the world. When I first started,
about six years ago, to use them, I took
four for a close, but I cured myself of
the above troubles and gradually
reduced the dose to one tablet at night.
Before taking "Itruit-a-tives" I took
salts and other pills but the treatment
was too harsh. I thought I might as
well suffer from the disease as from
these treatments.
Finally, I saw "Fruit-a-tives" adver-
tised with a letter in which someone
recommended them very highly, so I
tried them. The results were more than
satisfactory and I have no hesitation in
recomtnending them to any other person.
They have done me a world of good. I
get satisfaction from them, and that is
quite a lot". ANNIE A. CORBETT.

Cured by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food.
Mrs. H. Laich, Cannington Manor, Sask., writes -
"You will remember me writing you last spring.
Well, I gave up my doctor and began using Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food. This treatment cured me
rapidly and I was soon myself again. I was pale,
thin and weak, suffered from stomach troubles and
liver complaint and frequently had sick, nervous
headaches.
I was surprised to find that in a few weeks time
I had gained 30 pounds in weight. I never felt so
strong and well in all my life. Headaches never
bother me any more and I am grateful for the cure.
If people would only give this medicine a fair trial
they would certainly be cured."

GRAIN GROWN IN CANADA,
.A, bulletin isseed to -day by the Cen-
sus and Statistics Office reports on the
proportion of grain of last year's har-
vest that proved of merchantabh qual-
ity and upon the quantities in farmers'
hands at the end of March, 1914, the
report being based upon returns by
crop -reporting correspondents on March
31. Of the total estimated production
of wheat in Canada in 1913, amounting
to 231,717,000 bushels, 224,810,000 bush.
els, or 97 p. c., proved to be a mer-
chantable quality. This is a larger
proportion than in any previous year
since estimates were first obtained in
1910, and bears out the known results
of last year's excellent ripenieg and
harvesting season in the Northwest
provinces, The corresponding percent-
ages in previous years were 92.87 and
94. By provinces the proportions are
lower throughout eastern Canada, be-
ing about 87 p. e. for Prince Edward Is-
land and Nova Scotia, 90.5 p. c. in New
Brunswick, 90 p. c. in Quebec and 91
p. c. in Ontario. In British Columbia
the proportion was 85.6 p. c.
About 16.5 p. c. of the total Canadian
wheat crop in 1913 is reported as re-
maining in farmers' hands at March 31,
1914, this proportion representing 38,-
353,000 bushels. This too is a lower
figure than in any previous year and is
consistent with the high records of in-
spection and shipment.
Of the total oat crop of 1913, amount-
ing to 401,669,000 bushels, 94.58 p. c. is
estimated to have been of merchantable
quality, representing 382,754,000 bush-
els. Only in Prince Edward Island
(87.7 p. c.) and Nova Scotia (86.8 p. c.)
did the proportion fall below 90 p. c.
The figures for 1913 are the highest on
record. The amount in farmers' hands
at March 31 is placed at about 40 p. c.,
or 161,537,000 bushels. the proportion of
the 1912 crop on hand in 1913 being
44.22 p. c., or 173,178,000 bushels.
Barley the total yield of which was
48,319,000 bushels, proved of merchant-
able quality to the extent of 46,186,000
bushels, or 95.58 p. c., the proportion
in previous years being 87 p. c. (1912)
90 p. c. (1911) and 92p. c. (1910). The
quantity remaining in farmers' hands
on March 31 was about 30 p. c., or 14,-
440,000 bushels, as compared with 17,-
289,000, or 35 p. c. of the 1912 crop in
hand at March 31, 1913.
Of other crops corn for husking prov-
ed of merchantable quality to the ex-
tent of 78.8 p.c.; rye 90.9; buckwheat
82 p.c., flaxseed 94.8 p.c , potatoes 82
p.c., turnips, etc. 81 p.c. and hay and
clover 88 p.c. The quantities of these
crops on hand at March 31 were estim-
ated to be: corn 4,308,500 bushels, flax-
seed 2,295,000 bushels, potatoes 27,426,-
000 bushels, turnips, etc. 11,230,000
bushels, and hay and clover 2,675,000
tons.
Live stock have generally wintered
well and are reported as being on the
whole in excellent condition. The
spring appears likely to be rather late
in the Eastern provinces of Canada,
but in the west the ground was report-
ed as generally in good shape after a
mild winter. It was anticipated that
seeding would begin about the middle
of April under favourable conditions as
regards soil.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY SUBSIDIES.
"The Sun sees a great futere ahead
for rural electric lines in Ontario We
believe this is the real 'good roads
rolicy' for the province. Such lines
could be made the means of bringing
producer and consumer closer together
but all such lines should be built at the
cost of those directly benefitted. If
this is provided for, only such lines as
are really needed will be constructed,
and there will be greater economy in
construction than will be the case if the
cost comes from the Federal treasury,
the outpourings from which too many
still believe comes as manna from
heaven."

IN MEMORIAM
OF litwiN R, ELLIOTT WHO DIED APRIL
MTH, 1013.
Death from out our ranks has taken,
One, a brother whom we loved;
By his faith and love unshaken,
He a steadfast comrade proved;
And in death he speaketh yet,
By that bright example set.
Yes, though dead, he lives forever, -
Registered his name on'high;
Shall he be forgotten? Never,
One with Christ, he cannot die.
Sweetly sleeping in the Lord,
Hid his life with Christ in God.
The Toronto Weekly Sun, a sturdy ad-
vocate of the farmer's rights, in an-
swering a correspondent who expressed
disappointmect at its attitude in oppo-
sition to electric railway subsidies,
says:
'The Sun holds very strongly to the
opinion that Dominion money should be
spent only for national purposes; that
Provincial revenues should be expended
only on undertakings ef benefit to I '
Province as a whole; that works ad" ei
are of a purely local nature should oe
financed at the cost of those they are
intended to serve.
"Coming to the special case under
consideration, that of local electric rail-
way building, what would be the effect
of departure from the general principle
laid down? If the buildingof such rail-
ways is confined to one particular sec-
tion of the Dominion, and a federal sub-
sidy is granted towards such building,
the whole Dominion will be taxed for
the benefit of one particular locality.
That would be a manifest injustice. If,
on the other hand, we have these local
undertakings springing up in all parts
of the Dominion, and all are aided from
the Dominion treasury, the burden upon
each will be no less than if each financ-
04 its own enterprise at its own cost,
Indeed the burden will probably be
greater because the incentive of ex-
pected Federal aid Would doubtless lead
to the promotion of lines for which there
is no existing need, and the whole com-
munity would be saddled with the cost
of these needless enterprises. Precise-
ly the same line of argument applies to
the proposal to secure a Provineial guar.
entee of bonds.
Yet, we mourn a fellow creature,
Right it is to sympathize;
"Jesus wept" 'ds human nature,
He was heard in tears and cries;
And exalted still retains
Sympathy with all our pains.
He both died and rose and liveth,
That he might be Lord of all;
His they are whom God forgiveth,
And they sure shall hear His call;
Brought by Him, His blood the price,
His by cov'nant sacrifice.
On the sure foundation resting -
Rock of Ages, living stone,
Trial, faith, and patience testing,
Makes us trust in God alone.
Fight the fight pursue the strife,
°Laying h Id on endless life.
Life and light and resurrection.
Immortality He gives;
Gone for ever imperfection,
Christ the Lord of glory lives;
And for ever strong to save,
Gives the vict'ry o'er the grave.
Sweet the mem'ry of our brother,
Sweet the comfort from above;
Sweet the greeting of each other,
Should the Lord of us approve;
Till th, . day in peace he sleeps,
Christ His own in safety keeps.

HEALTH OF CITY AND COUNTRY
CHILDREN.
SONG OF SINGING.
[Richard le Gallienned
Singers all along the street,
Singing every kind of song -
One man's song is honey -sweet,
One man's song is hammer -strong;
Yet, however sweet the singing,
However strong the hammer -swinging -
All the bees are round that honey
Which the vulgar world call money,
Singers singing down the street.
I believe there is a song,
Could you sing it, that would beat
All the sweet and all the strong;
Just a simple song of pity,
'Mid the iron of the city.
0 we are so tired of birds,
Of rainbows and the love-siek words!
Sing us but one manly tune,
(Leaving out the rising moon).
Sing the song of Hope Eternal
In the face of Facts Infernal
And make your singing somehow prove
it -
Faith so firm no doubt can move it -
Then the bees will leave the honey
Which the vulgar world calls money.
The Youth's Companion shatters the
general imbression that country child-
ren are healthier than city children by
recalling the. fact that the National
Council of Education and the American
Medical Association studied this ques-
tion for two years and found that there
was a margin of from 10 to 50 per cent.
in favour of the city chi]d. Some of
the causes might be noted. Four kin-
dred American cities look carefully
after the health of their school child-
ren. They furnish medical inspection,
school nurses, medical and dental clin-
ics, and buildings designed with proper
lighting, ventilation and heating. On
the other hand not one state in five pro-
vides the simplest medical inspection
of children in country schools. A study
of twenty-five typical cities and hun-
dreds of rural districts chosen at ran-
dom in Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Idaho show-
ed the percentages of curvature of the
spine, ear trouble, eye defects, and en-
larged tonsils were much larger in the
country. Stranger still school children
in New York City were found to have
less lung affection than a county in Vir-
ginia.
The agitation that is going on in
some quarters to have medical inspec-
tion in rural schools in Ontario would
seem to be warranted by these facts.
Our country school houses are better
generally then they are in the States,
but there are diseases and defects
which cannot be traced to the school-
house and their discovery would result
in good just as medical inspection in
cities has resulted in benefit wherever
it has been adopted.

PIMPLES
Are an
"EYE SORE."
Pimples are caused by the blood being
out of order. Those little festering
sores appear on the forehead, on the nose,
ou the chin and other parts of the body,/
and although they are not a dangereus
trouble they are very unsightly to both
you and your friends.
There is only one way to get rid of
them, and that is to purify the blood.
Burdock Blood Bitters is without a
doubt the best remedy on the market
for this purpose.
Wm. F. Donohue, Jr., Hamilton, Ont.,
writes: -"About six months ago my
little son's face was literally covered with
pimples. / tried every preparation I
was told of by my friends, but to no
avail. Scon I thought I could not have
them fixed up, and would have to wait,
and let him grow out of them, but
thanks to Burdock Blood Bitters they
are all gone, and I gladly recommend it
to anyone."
Burdock Blood Bitters is manufac-
tured solely by The T. Milburn Co.,
