The Gold Dust Twins'
Philosophy
Wwere amused to hear the praise a grocer paid to Gold Dust
ways. Of all the many cleaning "stunts", he picked the Gold
Dust Twins at once. "I find," he chuckled, "that they do
the work of many more than TWO.

no sooner bought.
"With Gold Dust, all my people state, the work of cleaning house
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.
If dirt be slumbered with your sins, my preachment is ,
"My customers are 'mostly wives, who
have to bargain all their lives; each penny
of the household fund, is counted, and the
wasteful shunned. For instance, take the
cleaning game: Not all the cleansers work
to merely rub for naught, and some give out,

The June issue of the Labor Gazette,
containing under the authority of the
Minister of Labor illuminative articles
on the cost of living and conditions of
unemployment in Canada, should be
carefully studied by Hon. W. T. White,
who is in charge of the Government's
fiscal policy.
The Department's index number,
showing the average wholesale prices
of the 272 commodities entering into the
cost of living, is given as 136.2 for the
month of May. For the month of May
last year it was 135.4. There were some
slight reductions during the month on
dairy products which are, of course,
abundant at this season of the year.
Fuel and furs were also lower. But a
lowee level on these two commodities
for the summer months will hardly
bring;much relief to the average man
whose buying power has been greatly
restricted by the trade depression of
the past year, or to the thousends who
are now out of employment in practi-
cally every city in Canada.
The Department's analysis of the
coat of living during 1913 shows that the
average weekly expenditure for the or-
dinary workingman's family, inorder
to meet the bare cost of living, was
$14,024. In 1012, it was $13,788, and in
1911, it was $13,002. Since the Laurier
Government went out of power in 1911,
on a policy which made for a reduction
in the cost of living, there has been an
increase of at least $L00 per week in
the workingman's budget of necessary
expenses. Since 1910, there has been
an increase of practically 10 per cent.
in the cost of living. The trend is still
upwards.
Compared with this increase in Cana-
da, there has been, during recent
months, a marked decrease in free -
trade Britain and in the United States
where tariff revision downwards is now
producing its logical effect. The index
number, showing the cost of living in
the United States, fell to 8.6224 for last
May, as compared with 9.1394 for May
of last year. In Great Britain it is down
to 117.5, as compared with 122,4 in May
of last year. In the United States,
there has been a reduction during the
year of about five per cent. In Great
Britain, there has been a reduction of
nearly four per cent. In Canada, alone
hss there been an increase. And in
Canada, alone, has the tariff restrict-
ions both on consumers arid on produc-
ers been increased.
Hon. Mr. White maydraw the moral,
but the Big -Interest allies of the Gov-
ernment will not let him apply it.

8 Boxes Cured Psoriasis.
Mrs. Nettie Massey, Consecon, Ont.,
writes: "Three doctors described my
trouble as psoriasis, and one said I could
never be cured. The disease spread all
over me, even on my face and head and
the itching and burning was hard to
bear. 1 used eight boxes of Dr. Chase's
Ointment and am entirely cured -not a
sign of a sore to be seen. I can hardly
praise this Ointment enough."
THE GREATEST OF HOUSEHOLD
PROBLEMS.
•
The greatest of household problems,
says Rural New Yorker, is that involved
in the furnishing of a supply of water,
convenient for use, in the farm home.
Rural New Yorker does not overstate
the case. Rot and cold water, hard and
soft water; under rressure in kitchen
and bath -room above, means more in
real comfort and step saving than any
other convenience that can be introduc-
ed on the farm. The time spent in go-
ing to and from the pump is saved; ex-
posure, while heated, to inclement
weather, is frequently avoided; heated
water is always at hand for dish washing
or scrubbing. And the convenience and
comfort in having a bath tills with hot
and cold water always available. Who
can estimate the value of this? It means
much in the city; it means much more
in the country, where so mueh of the
labor is in dusty fields. Nor is the cost
prohibitive. This will depend on the
location of well or cistern already estab-
lished. In many cases the cost will be
less than that lavished on a useless par-
er,
Why hot make this a eilbjeet of dis-
cussion at May and June meeting of
Women's Institutes? Some person is
sure te,be present who can throw light
on the subject. -Farmers' Sun.

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
From the farmer's standpoint, one of
the most practical experiments being
undertaken is that of orchard manage-
ment. The Zullowing plans are tried in
separate rows in the same field.
Five rows apples, without cover crop
of any sort, and with thorough culti-
vation, though it may be manured.
Six rows the same, but with a cover
crop sown between June 15 and 20.
This year 20 poundof red clover will
be sown to the acre. This ie to test the
value of an early cover crop.
Six rows the same, but with the cover
crop sown between August 15 and 20,
to test the late cover crop.
Six rows of "inter -crop," with a
three-yeavs' rotation of oats, clover and
a cultivated crop.
Six rows the same, with the addition
of 20 tons of barnyard manure once in
three years.
Six rows in a sod of lover and orchard
grass.
In addition to this, two rows in each
plot will be surr iner-pruned, two winter -
pruned, and two unprunedeto test the
advantages of the different systems.
In each test there are eight trees of
each standard variety, and very accur-
ate records will be kept. Photographs
of individual trees are taken every year.
The number of blossom clusters are
counted, and the number of apples
which set are also recorded. Then, one
foot below the lowest branches, the
diameter of the tree is accurately
measured by calipers, and the length
of each year's new grearth under each
of the various conditions is recorded.
Whooping Cough.
Mrs. Charles Lovell, Agassiz, B. C.,
writes: "Seven of our'nine children had
whooping cough the same winter and
we attribute their cure to Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine. We
always have it in the house, and recom-
mend it as the king of all medicines. I
was formerly completely cured of pro-
truding piles by using Dr. Chase's Oint-
ment."

TAMED THE PIANO.
An Unmusical Varfation In One of
Gottschalk's Concerts.
Gottschalk, the pianist, was noted for
his enormous physical strength almost
as much as for his brilliance as a pian-
ist. On one occasion he gave a prac-
tical illustration of his strength which,
while it did not display his disposition
In the most amiable light, undoubtedly
afforded him much satisfaction.
He was in concert playing on a piano
that was built on a new model, one of
the peculiarities of which was that the
lip of the keyboard cover projected
farther over the keys than in most
pianos when the instrument was open
for playing. Gottschalk, who was ac-
customed to throw up his hands to
considerable height during the per-
formance of brilliant passages and was
unused to this new form of keyboard,
constantly hit his knuckles against the
projecting lip.
This repeated rapping of his knuck-
les at last began to have au imitating
effect on him, as the audience could
plainly see. Suddenly after a particu-
larly hard rap he stopped short in the
middle of his selection, wrenched the
offending cover out of the instrument
