Now would you answer it?
Between the lines of this short letter yos
can read grim tragedy. If its appeal 'wore
made to you, personally, how would you
answer it? Suppose you held the power tc
receive this poor woman or to turn hex
stymy, which would you do?
"Will you kindly give me information
concerning admission of a very needy
woman near mo. Her husband is dead,
and she is in consumption. She has two
smell children, at present in an orphans'
home, as the mother is not able to ear° for
them, and their only income is what an
aged mother earns. They live in one small
room."
It is eaey 10 say, "Why, of mune, I
would offer rue. C, if it wore in my power 1"
Let, think ! Are you sincere when you
say that? Are you iv earnest? Do you
really want to help poor, suffering Con-
eumptives ? Then hero is your chance to
prove your sincerity.

pital for Consumptives will be gratefully

Canning Industry and City Growth.
A writer in McClure's Magazine says
that the stupendous growth attained by
American cities would have been im-
possible without the aid of the canning
industries. In proof he points to the
fact that New York last year consumed
$150,000,000 worth of canned foods asicie
from the large quantities bought whole-
sale by the big hotels. This was nearly
$30,000,000 in excess of the city's bill
for milk and butter combined. It was
more than three times the amount spent
for bread. Meat was the only item on
which more was expended -$176,000,000.
All told the people of the United States,
it is said, consume three billion cans of
food stuffs every year. The industry
has been a good thing for food produc-
ers as well.
"It is estimated," says the writer
quoted, "that fifty per cent. of all the
fruits and vegetables of the United
States would go to waste except for the
canneries. And through this industry
it is possible to save the over -production
of a fat year for the famine that may
come another year. It is possible to
rush supplies from one section of the
country to another in time of emergen-
cy, or from neighbor to neighbor in
sudden need."
P. 0. Morris, a bank clerk, was sen-
tenced to 18 months in jail for passing
a cheque for $1,172.95, made out by him-
self. He had only 0.40 left when cap-
tured, having made a tour of England
with the stolen money.
Odd Clauses that are in Social Laws.
On the tbery that laws can never be
observed or enforced unless they are
known and understood by the people,
especially by social workers who are
daily confronted with the most different
problems in human relationship, Mr.
J. Kelso Superintendent of Neglected
and Dependent Children of Ontario,
has issued a pocket edition of the eocial
laws of Canada and Ontario. Stripped
of legal verbiage, extracts are given
from the Dominion Criminal Code, and
deals with everything frcm vagrancy to
to tte sections covering the movies.
Tho following are extracts, not gener-
ally known. -
"Sectionf,30 states that any person
can without warrant make an arrest
when an offence is being committed at
night. •
"Sections 104 to 108, prohibit prize
fighting, promoting or advertising prize
fights or acting in an advisory or official
capacity. For an ordinary fight or
quarrel where there is no money ex-
changed the penalty is reduced.
Among the different things which
constitute that broad term vagrancy,
there is this. 'Who begs l'or alms with-
out a certificate signed by a clergyman
or two justices authorizing him to do
so.' The maximum penalty for all
forms of vagrancy is two years less one
day.
"Husband and wife cannot be accused
of theft toward each other but, if living
apart they become liable No one can
lawfully enter into agreement with a
husband or wife who live together to
defraud or dispossess the other,
A New Assessment.
Mr. William J. Bryan, the American
Secretary of State, who says he thinks
we have seen the last great war, is the
hero of many good stories.
He once had occasion to protes
against his real estate assessment,
complaining particularly against a pet
goat being assessed at $25.
Mr. Bryan claimed that the goat
ought not to be taxed, and the tax -col-
lector invited him to come to his office
where they could look over the rules
and regulations and see what could be
done.
The collector carefully read through
the official circular and then asked:
"Does your goat run loose on the
road?"
"Sometimes he does," Mr. Bryan ad-
mitted.
"And does he butt?" was the next
question.
"Yes, I suppose he does, "Mr. Bryan
was forced to confess.
WINGIIAM TIMES, MAY 7, 1914
"Then I'm afraid I can'tdo anything
for you," said the collector, folding up
his papers. "You'll have to pay the
tax."
"But why?" demanded Mr. 13ryan,
rather bewildered,
"You admit that your goat runs on
the road and that he butts," the col-
lector pointed out. "Well, the regu-
lation says: "Tax all property running
and abutting on the highway. So there
you are." B. C. Su set.

The Kitchen Garden.
The kitchen garden should, says
Farm, Stock and Home, contain about
an acre, and it should be the most pro-
fitable acre on the farm. In fact it
should be worth as much as five acres
of corn or wheat. A farm table with-
out a garden back of it is a meagre
affair. How the wife is handicapped

how slim the fare is when not -reinforc-
ed with fresh vegetable.

From one who has learned to appreciate Dr. Chase's Nerve Food.
Modern life whether in the office, factory or home means
an enormous strain on the more delicate nervous system of
women. Whether it is the girl behind the counter or the
lady going the round of society functions, the nerves are at
high tension and require an abundance of rich, red blood if
health is to be maintained.
Because Dr. Chase's Nerve Food forms new, rich blood,
it is eminently successful in curing the dilments which cause
the greater part of woman's suffering and has become duly
popular among those who have learned of its merits.
Mrs. M. A. South, Grand Prairie, Alta., writes: -"I
cannot begin to tell you how much good Dr, Chase's Nerve
Food has done me. I was all run down, had no appetite,
and suffered each month in a way only women will under-
stand. After having followed this treatment for some weeks
feel like a different woman, sleep well, have a good appetite
and am able to do my own work, even during the time that
I formerly had so much suffering. I have no pains whatever
now, which is an entirely new experience for me. You may
publish this letter as I want all women to know how Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food has helped me, and I feal sure it will
do as much for any woman."

THE HARPER.
The following touching little poem by
Thomas Campbell, the noted Scottish
poet, has been requested by a reader its
a forgotten one included in the school ;
book of fifty years ago and known by 1
the title, "Old Dog Tray."
THEIR CLOTHES
WITH
On the green banks of Shannon, when
Sheelah was nigh,
No blithe Irish lad was so happy as 1;
No harp like my own could so cheerily
Play,
And wherever I went was my poor dog,
Tray,
aray;
When last 1 was forced from my
Sheelah to part,
She said (while the sorrow was big at
her heart),
Oh, remember your Sheelah when far,
far away,
And be kind, my dear Pat, to your poor
dog, Tray.
Poor dogl he was faithful and kind, to
be sure;
He constantly loved me, although I
was poor;
When the sour -looking folks turned me
heartless away,
I had always a friend in my poor dog,
Tray.
When the road was so dark, and the night
was so cold,
And Pat and his dog were grown weary
and old,
How snugly we slept in my old coat of
gray!
And he asked me for kindness -my poor
dog, Tray.
Though my wallet was scant, I remem-
bered his case,
Nor refused my last crust to his pitiful
face;
But he died at my feet on a cold winter
day,
And I played a lament for my poor dog,
Tray.
Where now shall I go -poor, forsaken
and blind?
Can I find one to guide me, so faithful
and kind?
To my sweet native village, so fine far
away,
I can never return with my poor dog,
Tray.
HAD TO STOP WORK
FROM THE PAM
Suffered Ten Years iluiff
"Fruff-a-fives" Cued Him
S. THOMAS, ONT., May 22nd. 19r3.
"I was troubled for ten years with the
most distressing Constipation and Indi-
gestion of the worst form.
No one could have been worse with
these troubles than I was for this long
time.
The pain from Indigestion was so
severe that many times, I have had to
stop work and lie down until the acute
spasms passed away.
1 took a lot of medicine -in fact, I
guess I took about everything that was
advertised -and gave them all a fair
test -but got no relief. About a year
ago, however, I was advised to try
"Fruit-a-tives". I am mighty glad I
did so for they seem to be made exactly
for me.
They gave results in a very short time
and I am now free from these diseases
and enjoying perfect health.
My wife also used "Pruit-a-tives" and
we both think they are the best medicine
ever made."

Snakes.
These sunny days bring forth the
snakes from holes in quarries, cliffs and
brakes. The gentle bullsnake, mild
and meek, sets forth his proper prey to
seek; of all good snakes he is the best,
with high ambitions in his breast; he is
the farmer's truest friend, because he
daily puts an end to mice and other
beasts which prey upon that farmer's
crops and hay. He is most happy when
he feasts on gophers and such meas'
beasts; and, being six or eight fc
high, when stood on end, you can't di e
that forty bullsnaltes on a farm are
bound to do the vermin harm. The bull -
snake never hurts a thing; he doesn't
bite, he doesn't sting, or wrap p.m in
his slimy folds, and squeeze you till he
busts all holds. As harmless as a bale
of hay, he does his useful work tall day,
and when at night he goes to rest, he'd
killed off many a wretched pest. And
yet the farmers always take a chance to
kill this grand old snake. They'll chase
three miles or more to end the labors
of their truest friend. They'll hobble
forth from beds of pain to hack a bull -
snake's fain in twain, and leave him
mangled, torn, and raw -which shows
there ought to be a law.

When Blood is Poison,
The blood must be filtered, otherwise
.you are poisoned. If the kidneys fail
the liver is overworked, and becoines
torpid. By using Dr. Chase's Kidney -
Liver Pills you get both these filtering
organs working right, and also ensure
healthful action of the bowels. For this
reason these pills are an ideal family
medicine. They cure biliotemess, con-

ASSIST SHEEP MEN BY ASSOCIA-
TIONS.
Following up last year's work in as-
sisting tha wool growers of the West,
'by instraction in wool growing and mar-
keting, the Live Stock Branch of the
1 Dominion Department of Agricultare is
'planning to assist in the formation of
Wool Growers' Associations throughout
Canada this year. The work will be
with the end in view of assisting the
wool growers to prepare their wool
clips for market, and to assist in the
actual marketing.
Associations, in order to receive aid,
must be organized in accordance with
the regulations of the Branch, and
membership is limited to actual owners
of sheep. West of Fort William an As-
sociation must contain at least 3,e00
sheep, or sufficient to comprise one car-
load of wool; east of there, a relative
number. The services of expert wool
classifiers, who will take charge of and
perform the grading, classification and
preparation of the wool, will be pro-
vided.
This proposal represinte much more
than a mere continuation of the work
undertaken last year, says the Branch,
when two wool classifiers visited the
Western Provinces and gave practical
instruction and advice to sheep -raisers
upon wool growing. Rather, it mears
the introduction of a definite scheme
whereby wool producers may be actually
assisted in preparing and presenting
their wools upon the market in the most
acceptable fashion and thus be in a pos-
ition to catch more directly to the re-
quirements of the market. Moreover,
it should prove effective in developing
and improving the general status of
THE IMPLEMENT DUTIES.
In his budget speech Hon. W. T.
White announced a reduction of five per
cent in the duty on one class of farm
implements harvesters, reepers afl
mower3. Inuritdintely the tie:ut we t
up from Conserve tiv e speakers and Con-
servative newspapers: Here is a Gov-
ernment and a Minister showing true
friendship for the farmers. They cor
yeniently ignored the fact that the same
Government ane the same Minister had,
at the same time, given such increased
protection to certain interests as will
add much to the weight of the tariff
taxation upon the farmers and the lal--
orers and the other citizens of Canada
as "consumers". They shouted of the
Government's zeal for the interests of
of the farmers and pointed to how much
more Borden had done to assist the
agriculturisss than Laurier.
But the facts of the case are wor h
examining.
During their years of power the Lib-
erals made reduction in the duties on
implements. In 1911 they propose,
by the Reciprocity Agreement, to re-
duce those duties further.
By that agreement the Liberals pro-
posed to reduce by five per cent, the
duties on fifteen classes of implements
and to reduce by two and a half per
cent, the duties on two other classes.
The latter included harvesters, etc.,
and farm wagons; the former, ploughs,
tooth and disc harrows, drills, potato
diggers, hay tedders. horse rakes,
threshing machines, fodder and feed
cutters, fanning mills, etc.
Mr. Borden and his friends were suc-
cessful in defeating the Reciproci y
Agreement which otherwise would have
been in operation since 1911. Conse-
quently, the duties on the seventeen
classes of implements which were cover-
ed by that pact have continued in fie c.
ce, and the farmers have lost in con_
sequence. Now, nearly 3 years later,
the Borden Ministry cuts by five per
cent. the duties on one of the seventeen.
Yet Conservative politicians and pap-
ers try to fool the farmer into the
belief that the Government has done
great things for him.
LIFE'S .34 IRROR.
There are are loyal hearts, there are spirits
brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give to the world the best you
have
And the best will come hack to you.
Give love, and love to your life will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need:
Heave faith and score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth and your gift will be paid
in kind,
And honor will honor meet,
Add a smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror of king and
slave,
'Tis just what we are and do.
Then give to the world the best you
have
And the best will come back to you.

The Huron Expositor says: A Mode -
land, of Tuckersmitb, west of Egmond-
ville, has shown us a sample of oats
grown on his farm last summer, whi ch
excites the curiosity of all who see
them. These oats are of the variety
known as Sheffield Standard. In one
drill about 22 rods long the most of the
heads contained three d;stinct grains on
each stem, whereas only two is the
natural and usual number. The oats in
the other part of the field, were of the
usual kind and all were grown from the
same seed and sown on the same land,
except that in this particular drill the
land was richer than in the remainder
of the field. Mr. Modeland did not Ob-
serve the difference of the grain until
ne was harvesting the crop. He has
sent a sample to the Agricultural Col-
lege and has asked for ati opinion as to
the cause of this unusual growth.
