Of all the niany cleaning "stunts", he picked the Gold Dust Tv vino at once. "1 find," he chuckled, 'that they do the work of many more than TWO. "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 the same. Some seem to merely rub for naught, and some give out1 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 iob 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.

Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR, A FATHER WRITES [Springfield Republican.] Pin writing her a letter That I'm getting on all right, That I'm really feeling better, And I'm full of vim and fight. I am telling her Pin working Every minute of the day, And I have no time for shirking And I have no time for play. On telling her that nightly I am sitting round .the home, And that time is passing lightiy And I've no desire to roam. 1 am telling her I'm hoping That a month or two they'll stay Where the hillsides green are sloping And the little ones can play. I am glad they're where the breezes Gently kiss them as they run, And I'm telling her it pleases Me to think of all their fun. And / write that I'm not lonely, But it's all a fearful sham, For they'd come bock if they only Knew how miserable I am. For I miss their sweet caresses And I miss their shouts of glee, And the empty home depresses Now the very soul of me. I miss the cry of "poppy" From each roguish little tot. I am writing that I'm happy But bet she knows I'm not. SPREAD OF THE TRUTH To the Editor:- * The light is breaking. There has been a wonderful change in medical opinion as to the medicinal or food val- ue of alcohol in the last twenty years. Twenty years ago it was almost univer- sally used in pneumonia, diphtheria, fevers and all debilitating diseases. Now we know that instead of being a stimulant, it is sedative; instead of being a food it is poisonous, and instead of helping a patient over a danger spot it lessens his chance of recovery, In my judgment, the greatest medi- cal discovery in recent times is the fact that alcohol -whether in the form of beer, wine or spirits -lessens the power of the body to defend itself against the germs of disease. Truth makes uery slowly against ig- norance and prejudice but truth always prevails and when that truth perme- ates the public mind, we will have a healthier, happier and more prosper- ous people. Some time ago I went to a hospital and investigated the amount of alcholic liquors given per patient, ar.d I found that the quantity was just about one- sixth of that which had been given ten years ago. Recent investigations in the hospitals of old London show that there also the amount of intoxicating liquors prescribed has fallen off won- derfully. Surely the truth is spreading and so we take courage and do our best to hasten that glad day when the pois- oning of tire innocents shall cease. By the word innocents, I mean the babe that is poisoned before it is born so that it is handicapped all its life with weakness of mind and body and often something worse than weakness. The goung man who takes his first drink is generally innocent of the wrong he is doing himself and his country. If he knew the truth, he would not touch it on any account. Then the hostess who entertains her guests with drink is gen- erally innocent of the harm she is do- ing. The great need of the people is a knowledge of the truth and we plead that eveiyone who knows the truth will do what he or she can to spread it. (Sgd.) 11. Arnott, M,C.P.S. THE BLIND CHILD SHOULD ATTEND SCHOOL. The expenditure of publicmoney upon "schools and school -masters" is regard- ed by our legislators, and by the people who elect the legislators, as a good in- vestment. The educated man is more useful to the community than his illiter- ate neighbour, his labour is more pro- ductive, he lives a happier and more Baby Eczema Becomes Chronic 'Cattsing Great &telexing and Anxiety .,-Prorapt Relief and Clue by Dr. Chase's Ointment. This is one reaeon why every mother should know about Dr. Chase's Ointtnent, since it is an unfailing cure for all itching skin diseases. Mrs. F. Clarke, Belmont, Man., writes: -"My baby had eczema on her ear. The sore was very bad, and nothing seemed to do her much good. Hearing of the remarkable cures Dr. Chase's Ointment was making, we sent for some, and after the third ap- plication the sore began to heal. ant glad to say that it is quite well now, and we give the credit to Dr. Chase's Ointment.

N.S., writes: "My little girl tank eczema when she 1Was live weeks Md. Though we doe - (Arca her until she NV:LS nearly a year old, she got nn better.

For these and numerous other equally good reasons, it "pays the state" to provide facilities for education for all the children of the people, whether born here or coming from a foreign country to make their homes among us -hence our free school system, reinforced to some extent by compulsory education Jaws. For the blind, who cannot be taught to read by sight, a sys- tem for reading by touch has been devised, the printed characters repre- senting letters, etc., being embossed on the paper, instead of being indicated by a difference in colour. Having learned to read and Write. the education of the blind person can be continued to any desired extent, Including the subjects taught in public schools for the seeing, music and several handicrafts. Happily the blind are not sufficiently numerous to necessitate the equipment of many schools for their accommodation, so the scheme of taking the blind child to the free school instead of bringing the free school to the blind child has been adopted. The Ontario School for the Blind, located at Brantford, admit pupils, blind persons of both sexes, be- tvveen the ages of seven and twenty- one,,without charge for board, tuition or books, but parents are expected to provide clothing and pay travelling ex- pefises. It is a school -not a "Home," nor a Hospital, nor an Asylum -and among the pupils are many who, though not enirely blind, have sight so defective that they cannot receive an education in the ordinary public schools. If any reader of the TIMES has a child so afflict- ed, or knows of one in his neighbor- hood, a letter or post card, addressed to H. F. Gardiner, Principal 0. S. B., Brantford, giving the name and post - office of parent or guardian, will help the school to do all the work for which it was established and is maintained by the Government.

A dealer; or Edmonton, Bates & Co,. Limited, Toronto: CONTOL MEASURES FOR ARMY - WORM. The army worm is a stout, smoo th hodied caterpillar, blackish or brownish in color, with two yellow stripes, tinged with red, along each side. When ful- grown it is about 11-2 inches long. The adult is a moth which lays her eggs chiefly on grass in low lands. The cater- pillars themselves never lay eggs or produce living young. The favorite food plants are grasses, timothy. oats, corn and millet. When food becomes scarce the worms move in enormous numbers in search of new feeding zrounds. As the pest is being reported from numerous counties, every farmer should examine his field from tiime to time to see if they are being attacked. If the insects have become distributed all over the field before being noticed, the wis- est course will be to cut the crop at once if it is timothy or grain and cure for hay, but if is corn, scatter lightly through the field a poison mixture, made of 1 lb. of paris green mixed thoroughly in 25 lbs of bran, and then moisten with water, sweetened with molasses. Make the mixture just moist enough to fall through the fingers like.sawdust-not sloppy. If the crop is threatened or attacked it will be found advisable to cut a swath through the grain, and rake this off be- fore the trench is dug. The trench is often unsatisfactory, especially in clay soil, if it is not properly made. It should be at least 18 inches deep, in clay soil, with a straight clean side towards the crop to be protected. Post -holes at least a foot in depth must be sunk every 15 feet in the bottom of the trench. In sandy soil the trench works excellently, but in elay soil it is often advisable as an extra precaution to heap up the loose earth on the crop side right along the trench. The small particles of earth loosen and cause the climbing worms to drop. Hence in clay or much soil it may be advisable to scrateh the face of the wall lightly with a garden rake. Do this also after rain. When the worms are unable to climb the wall they vvill pass lengthwise through the trench, and c011ect in the post-heles, where they may be killed by crushing or other means. In digging the trench ploughs inay be used, but the balance of the work should be done with spades to insure a clean deap trench. Wherever the worms are found, prompt action is very important.

America's Only Medieval Castle a Landmark In St. Augustine. For raore than 200 years St. Angus. tine was the Spanish capital of Eton Ida, and the Florida of those days es,' ten.ded from the Chesapeake bay to the Pacific ocean. It was an impregnable stronghold all of those years. 014 Fort Marion, begun in 1592 and finished in 1756, is the only medieval castle in America. It cost an enorinoua sum of money. Repeated heavy drafte of the builders caused the king of Spain to inquire if they were building Fort Marion of gold dollars. The castla stands today In perfect condition, guarded by the United States govern.. ment. The keeper conducts Visitor through the castle, down into the dun., geons and shows you rings in the walla where victims of Spanish oppression' were chained to die.
