The Gold Dust Twins'
Philosophy
9
WE were amused to hear the praise a grocer paid to Gold Dust
ways, Of an the many cleaning"stunts' , he picked the Gold
Dust Twins at once. "I find.' he cluicklod, "that they do
the work of many more than TWO.
"My customers are 'mostly wives, who
have to bargain all their lives; each penny
a the household fund, is counted, and the
wasteful shunded. For instance, take the
cleaning game: Not all the cleansers work
the same. Some seem to merely rub for naught, and some give out,
no sooner bought,
"With Gold Dust, all my people state, the work of cleaning houso
goes great. It does so many clever tasks; it does, in fact, whatever
asked. From kitchen, through and through, to hall; upstairs and
down, the porch and all. Wher-
ever dust and dirt collect, it has a
marvelous effect.
"A 'Home, Sweet Home' is one;
I say, wherein the Gold Dust
fellows play. Their work is fun to
them. They start at dawn, with
some magician's art and with the
sinking of the sun the last mean
job of work is done.
"Oh yes, I like to recommend, a product that will prove a friend.
Each Gold Dust customer declares that glass and cutlery and stairs,
and floors and dishes and the rest are cleaned by using it -the best,

FOR FLETCHER'S
OASTO R IA
A VISIT TO THE FORD PLANT,
There is a new kind of dragon at the
plant a the Ford Motor Company of
Canada, Limited, which consumes
automobile bodies. Its long neck
stretches from near the roof a the
great four-story factory, several bun.
dred feet ecrosethe faetery yard, to
the street. There its capacious maw is
open to receive the auto bodies. As
fast as they are fed to it they disappear
and the casual visitor, pausing to ob-
serve the phenomenon, wonders what
the explanation may be.
The disappearing automobile bridles
are merely another illustration of clever
factory efficiency. The Ford bodies
are not made at the main plant, but
are transported to it in enormous wag-
ons. The department where they are
assembled on the chassis is on the
fourth floor of the main building. The
problem was how to get the bodies
across the wide factory yard and up
four floors. The ordinary method
would be to install large freight elevats
ors; but at that, the bodies would have
to be carried across a very busy, bust-
ling yard always filled with all mariner
of materials and activities, A better
way was found.
The Ford Compaq built a long en-
closed runway from the fourth floor
across the yard to the street, slanting
down at an acute angle. In this was
built an endless chain form of moving
platform. The wagons stop at the low-
er eed of this moving platform, the
bodies are placed on it as fast as they
can be unloaded and disappear up the
coveted runway, to appear on the
fourth floor of the factory. Here they
are placed on small trucks and rolled to
their desired position • on the assembly
floor, The scheme has been found to
be economical and also a very expeditious
means of transporting raw material.
A BIG DIFFERENCE.
A factory patron may think and even
remark "I guess my cows average
about as high a test as Frown's, so it
doesn't make any difference whether I
have them tested.or not."
Let us examine that a moment. If a
man is content with only a fair yield
per cow, where is general improvement
to come in? Surely we are not going
to remain satisfied with what a neigh-
bor's medium cows manage to produce!
Will that not kill all ambition.
If it is found that in another section
the aVerage yield per cow is 150 or 250
pounds of milk higher, should not the
endeavour be made to raise the stand-
ard of production for each of the Poor-
er cows?
Again, the yield of milk may average
the same at two different factories, but
the average yield of fat may be four or
six pounds more. So if there are only
200 cows sending to the factory there
would be a difierence in the output of
over fourteen hundred pounds of butter
in one month.
A So it does make a difference what a
patron's cows test. Why view with
complacency any "average" herd, some
cows of which gave only a small yield
of milk testing only 2.9 or 3.1 when the
herd might quickly be graded up and
have each cow give 5 or 6 pounds more
fat per month?
It makes a big difference to you
personally as a live, up-to-date, pro-
gressing dairymen, a difference in the
capacity and value of your herd, a dif-
ference in your support of the factory,
and a difference in the possibility of in-
creased output of your factory at a
lower cost.
It will pay you well to test each cow.

Signature of
AN APPRECIATION
caThe Territorial Headquarters Staff,
on behalf of The Salvation Artny in
Canada, desire to express, through the
Press, their deep and simere appreeia-
tion for the numerous messages of sym-
pathy and condolence received from
comrade% friends, churches, societies,
and others. Since the event • of the
sinking of the SS. Empress of Ireland,
such meseages have been conveyed by
able, telegram, and letter from all
parts of the world, and especially the
Dominion of Canada.
It is our desire to let it be known
that, particularly the assurance of pray-
er, have streogthened our hearts, have
eneouraged our confidence, and have
stimulated our faith, Md, furthermore,
as the realizatim of the exteut of our
loss through this appalling catastrophe
beeotnes keener day by days the kind
words of cheer and counsel will help us

Work of The Sal vatioa Army iri extend-
ing the Itingdom of God upon earth,
ALCOHOL AND THE PEATHRATE.
-------
To the Editor: -
Dr. Bertillon, the famous statistician
of Paris has just published a remarkable
study of mortality in the various voca-
tions in which he concluaes that trades
exposing workmen to alcohol are the
most dangerous of all, irrespeetive of
the element of mechanical danger,
It should be noticed that Dr. Bertillon's
iovestigations were made in France
where, according to the liquor Wyo.
cates, the use of light wines has solved
the alcohol problem. It is also notes
worthy that railway enginemen have
the lowest deathrate, evidently because
the management of the State Railways
of France forbids the sale of alcoholic
liquors to anyone employed by the rail-
ways. Coeld anything be more con-
vincing?
Dr, Bertillon finds that saloon keep-
ers are in the class most liable to sui-
cide and that brewers are also very
liable to suffer murder. This in aceord-
awe with the findings of the life in-
suranee people to the effect that
mortality among liquor dealers, even
when they were total abstainers, was
nineteen percent greater than the normal
expectation. This is probably due
largely to the amoont of alcohol inhaled
while handling the liquor. The air of
a barroom is more or less saturated
with alcohelic vapor and it has been
found to be a very prolific source of
many diseases. When facts such as
these become known. surely people will
soon put an end to this traffic. Let
everyone help to spread a knowledge
of the plain undeniable facts.

Then came the blow. The husband was
stricken down with tuberculosis. The wife

go out washing and cleaning everyday, and
then force her tired -out body to do her own
work at nights.
Cases of this kind are numerous. They
always call for prompt relief. For unless
consumption is quickly treated its terrible
effects hurt many beyond the first victim.
At this moment money is urgently needed
so that medicine, nourishmenn and treat-
ment may be taken to sufferers. We im-
plore you to contribute something NOW.

To Plant ,liade Trees.
The Meaford. Board of Trade and
Town Council have made an inter-
esting arrangement for planting
shade trees and any ratepayer can
have maple trees planted in front of
his property inside the corporation
at 50 cents a tree, by making appla
cation to any member of the Town
Council or a committee of the Board
of Trade. The work will be under
the supervision of the Town Council,
and the trees will be carefully se-
lected and transplanted to ensure
their growth.

"Stop!" thundered the client at the
barber, who was cutting his hair.
Then he continued, in somewhat
milder tones:
"Why do you insist upon telling
me these horrible, blood curdling
stories of ghosts and robbers while
you are cutting my hair?"
"I'm very sorry, sir," replied the
barber, "but, you see, when I telt
stories like that to toy clients their
hair stands on end, and it makes it
ever so much easier to cut."

Baostessaran, Onr., Aug, 26th. tete.
"About two years ago, I fouud my
health in a very bad state. My kidneys
and liver were not doing their works and
I became all run-down. I felt the need
of some good remedy, and having seen
"Fruit-a-tives" advertised, I deeided to
try them,
Their effect, I found more than
satisfactory. Their action was mild and
the results all that eouid have been
expected.
My liver and kidneys resumed their
normal getion after I had taken upwards
of a dozen boxes, and I regained pay old
thee vitality. Today, I am as well as
ever, the best health I have ever enjoyed,
and I unhesitatingly give you this
testimonial for publication if you wish"

sion is used "Fruit-a-tives is the best

WHY SOLDIER STANDS ERECT
Not to Look Attractive But to Pro-
duce Perfect Health.
Standing straight like thinkleg
straight is necessary for perfect
health.
The majority of people have an
idea that the reedier is trained to
walk straight - head up, shoulders
back -in, order to look attractive and
to have a distinctive carriage of bis
body.
Soldiers are drilled and trained to
walk as they do in order to keep the
human machinery in proper working
condition and not for appearances. If
they could do better work -that is be
kept in better health -by any other
attitude, it would be taught there.
The military man is trained to
walk so as to stye every organ inside
the body plenty of room to do its
work -to keep vital vessels from
bending or telescoping.
As the body grows in height the
blood vessels and the organs they
supply grow to correspond with the
height of the body.
For example: A youth grows up to
be a man six feet tall. If the de-
velopment has been natural every
blood vessel, nerve and intestinal or-
gan has grown to fit and work at this
laeight of the body. They are adjust-
ed to do their best work at this par-
ticular development of this individual
whether he or she be short or tall.
Now, if through carelessness or
lack of understanding of this import-
ant matter, the individual walks with
a slough or stoops while standing, he
Is bending or telescoping several if
not all the .vessels which supply Ms
body and tissues with nourishment,
repair material, blood or oxygen.
The same injurious coneitions are
brought about when a growing girl .
bends over while reading, writing or
at work. The latest fad in woman's
walk -the slouch --is certain to com-
press the internal organs, bring about I
local inflammation or obstruction,
and, of course, in time injure the '
health.
If you go about with a drooping
head, if you let your neck es,Szeles be- .
come so weak that :veer cannot hold
up your head, you are in danger of ,
ill -health slowly stealing upon you.
Do you know why so many sedent-
ary persons have indigestion, torpid
liver, poor complexion? Because they
go about or sit around with the inter-
nal organs telescoped or doubled up- ,
on each other. This causes interfer- •
ence -with the free flow of blood,
presses upon SOnle opening in the liv-
er or closes a duct.
In fact, just picture for yourself an
intricate machine of muscles, tissues,
glands, vessels and their various
ducts, tiny channels and valves, all
in their places, each doing their al-
lotted work without trouble and ef-
fort, confined in a framework built to
hold them, and all this wonderful
mechanism gradually interfered with
by the bending or btickling of this
frame and its covering.
If you were looking at such a ma.
chine made by man, you would see
at once the necessity of keeping the
frame upright and uninjured.
So must you keep the human frame
if you would enjoy god health and
long life.

HUNTING THE CARIBOU.
Curiosity Often Lures the Watchful
Animal to Its Fate.
In hunting the caribou quietness is
essential. Never break a twig if you
can avoid it, for a cracking branch
makes a noise which carries far and
may give warning of your approach to
the very stag you particularly want.
Equally important is it to keep a sbarp
lookout at all times: especially when
entering a barren, where a stag may
be sleeping, for under such conditions
they are hard to see, Among the nu,-
' merous gray dead stumps and moss
i covered low trees the color of the can -
bon is so inconspicuous that the un-
trained eye will fail to detect the ani-
mal even at Close range. The first in-
timation will be a glimpse of a dints.

The deliglitful sensation of skiing Is
thus described by Arnold Lunn in
Cornhill:
"Skiing is the perfect motion. I
shall not qualify this dogmatic state-
ment till I find a good ski runner who
prefers some other form of speed. I
have met runners who have tried ev-
erything from an aeroplane to a racing
ear, from a steeplechase to a Cresta.
toboggan run. One and all placed
skiing above all rivals. Aeroplanes
used to raise uneasy doubts till I met
a distinguished air man, who told me
that he found skiing more exciting.
After the nrst novelty wears oft -so he
said -flying becomes monotonous. One
patch of air Is very much like another.

the unwary.

hillside erect with a natural and grace-

Earth. Between you and the hillside

"As they rise and fall, leaping over
Idllocks, sinning into dips, they seem
at once /lying vital things, with a will

in one of her most fascinating moods.
The sId runner must adapt his tactics
to every Change in the hillside, to
every fickle fancy of the snow. The
Skater and the skeleton rider soon
learn to know the tricks of the rink or
ice run. But the bills are never the
same, the snow is never the same;
every slope is a revelation, every snow-
fall a new discovery."

their tots they are made to lie out of
