Hunters In Africa Actually Kick th& Brutes Out of Their Way. `i4.: globe trotter and a bunter, by name Percy Stanhope, is an English- man who may or may not have a sense. of humor. Here is what be said in New York recently about Ilou hunting In Africa: "You hear them talk of lion hunting A.frica as theugh• it were the king of sports. It's a beastly shame the way they treat the poov beasts-. Why, when I was out in British, East Africa two years ago there wee ft movement on foot to punish lion hunters for cruelty to animals. In fact, they were serious- ly taking up the question with the home government. "The lives of the poor Itoneare being made a burden to them. I can remem- ber when the lions would couae in out of 'the jungle and sit on the platform of the railway stations, and some of those cruel Englishmen actually booted the beasts out of tbe way. Tbink of it, the cruelty of it alit "There being no feeres available, the sportsmen out in those parts have a habit of stirring up a lion and pursuing the poor beast with whoops and yells until It drops dead of exhaustion and actual fright. The poor beasts have been so terrorized that when they see a white man they whimper from fright. This fear shortens the life of the lions, and unless drastic steps are taken tO put a stop to the cruelty there won't be any of the nnimais left in Africa."... New York World. Fear is Useless. Phobism is an additiou to fear (an- other mane for worry). If smugness be unlovely from a social point of view phobism is fatal to Rs victim. Did it ever occur to you that fear can become a habit and a luxury, just as smoking is? But pbobism is the more hazardous. We fear poverty, we fear disease, we fear death, we fear that we shall be snubbed socially. And each separate fear impairs our capaci- ty for work in a definite, measurable way. I know many people addicted to the use of fear. Some of them use it to excess. To the psychologist fear is the most expensive of all habits that people indulge. Ninety-nine and forty- four one -hundredths per nent of fear Is as useless as a deckhand on a sub- marine.-Ellott Park Frost in Atlantic. How to Wire an Author. "There's no greater fallacy," said an author at the Authors' club, "than the popular one to the effect that writers don't like you to talk to them about their work. "Mark Twain exploded this fallacy well when he said that there were three ways of pleasing an author -first, to tell him that you have read one of his book; second, to tell him you have read all his boots, and, third, to ast him to let you read the manuscript of his forthcoming book. The first way wins his respect, the second wine his friendship and the third wineehis love." -NewYork Tribune. He Thought He Was Handsome. "So she has quarreled with that ugly beint of hers1 He is the ugliest lame I have ever seen. 'What did they (panel about?"

WE need to be reminded quite as much as to be informed. Mem- ory has been jocularly described as "the thing we forget with." Out of, sight is apt to be out of mind. An advertiser who relies on the memory of the public leans on a brok- en reed. The absence of its advertis- ing from the newspapers has been the beginning of the end for many a firm. "The present suitor has ever the ad- vantage over the absent lover." A business that has achieved its magni- tude or strength as the result of faithful ad- vertising plays itself false if it suspends or ceases its advertising, on the grounds of econo- my. It is poor business vision whicli fails to see the principal feeder of business, and fatal judgement which cuts it off or interrupts its flow. Economies may be warranted, but they had better be effected in any other department than in the sales department—the department of revenue. Any Course Which shoves your customer back from you or hides you from. your customer is ruinous. The maii with the money needs to be constantly sought. Adver tising is the great discoverer cf new customers, the great retainer of old ones. If You forget the Public, the Public will forget You. TO -CANADA. (By Percy Mackaye.)

Sherburne at LeRoy, Indiana, two cows were shown around which grouped the principal interest of the occasion. The cows were a pure- bred Holstein, Dorothy Ormsby DeKol, and a grade Shorthorn cow, Bridget. Mr. Sherburne is the owner of the Hol- stein cow. In the account given of the picnic by C. rt, George of 'Perdue Uni- versity, it does not appear who is the owner of the cow, Bridget, and it does not matter much. The farmers were called together to take in the lessons given by these two cows in their work for one year in the LeRoy Cow -Testing Association. The difference between them was very great. The Holstein cow had given in the year's record in the association 17,203 lbs of milk con- taining 489 lbs of butterfat; the Short- horn cow gave 2,672 lbs of milk containing 118 lbs of fat. Mr. Sherburne wanted to get his neighbor farmers together so as to onsider, as sensible men, the difference in profits to the farm between working a whole year for a good dairy cow of specific dairy breeding or working just as hard and just as faithful for a cow of the mixed dual-purpose breeding, When he came to set forth the profits of the two cows, the contest was still more impressive. Their milk was sent to the Chicago market at wholesale rates. The Holstein cow earned a total of $308.30. Her feed for the year cost $07.59, leaving a profit over feed onsumed of $210.80. The Shorthorn cow's milk brought $45.70; her feed tot $32,39, leaving a profit of $13.31, Dr. Henry Reid McCullough, a prae- tictiorier at Hatriston for twenty-five years, and prominent in municipal and sporting activities there, died at the age of fifty-one. George Keyes, a veteran newspaper- man, died at Colborne, where he founded The Enterprise in 1806. —3 Cured of Piles and Eczema Dy 'Using Three Boxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment. Air.

OCtOber 29th, 1914 Had No Power Over the Limbs Locomotor Ataxia, Heart Trouble and Nervous Spells Yielded to Dr. ChilSO'S Nerve Food. It would be easy to tell you how Dr. Chase's Nerve Food cures loco- motor ataxia anti derangements of heart and nerves, but it may be more satisfactory to you to read this letter. Mrs. Thos. Allan, It.F,D. 3. Sombra, Ont., writes :—"Iinive year ago I suf- fered a complete breakdown, and fre- fluently had palpitation of the heart. Since that illness I have had dizzi spells, had no power over my limbo (iocomotor ataxia) and could not walk straight. At night I would have severe nervous spells, with heart pal- pitation, and would shako as though I had the ague. I felt improvement after using the first box of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and atter continuing the treatment can now walk, eat and sleep well, have no nervous spells and do not require heart medicine. 1 have told s•sveral of my neighbors of the sill-n(11d reqults obtained from the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food."

"Oh, 1 am almost tired to death," said the woman who apends half her time addressing club meetings. "Our political economy club has been in session all day passing resolutions and drawing up petitions demanding a law regulatingthe price of bread. Only think! Three dollars' worth of flour costs, when baked into bread, $13. It's outrageous. We'll soon all be bankrupt. The bakers must be r lade to feel the power of the law'. You should have been at the meet- ing." "I couldn't come, I was too busy," said the calm faced woman. "Busy on a club day? What at?" "Baking bread," said the calm-. faced woman. Origin of the Word Academy. Academes was a wealthy Greek of Athens who lived several hundred years before the birth of Christ. Among his possessions was a beauti- ful grove, where young men used to congregate and listen to the teach- ings of wise men, such as Plato and Socrates. This developed into the school of modern times, and these modern schools take their name "academy" from the old Greek Aca- demus. The real meaning of the word academy is a school for boys. Colliding With a Planet. Our small earth is not absolutely safe from collision with bodies in space, but is safe from collision "with any planet in the solar system and with the sun. To be hit by a planet eithcr the earth or the planet must leave its orbit. This is impossible, and it is also impossible that the earth can leave its orbit and fall to the sun. The earth is being hit by millions of meteors daily, from the size of pin heads up to the largest, several hundred tons in weight. In Dread of Croup Every mother dreads croup unless she knows about Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turrentine. Given in fre- quent doses, at the first indication of trouble. this treatment loosens the cough and affords relief and comfort. Its use should be kept rip until the child is eatirely recovered. A floral Chameleon. A marvelous flower has been dis- covered in the isthmus of Tehuante- pec. Its chief peculiarity is the habit of changing its color during the day. In the morning it is white; when the sun is at its zenith, it is red, and at night it is blue. The red, -white and blue flower grows on a tree about the size of a guava tree, and only at noon does it give out any perfume. lqo Place For Thumb Prints.

We do not reelize, until pointedly re. minded of the fact, that up to almost Yesterday the whole world was subject to the danger of periodic famine. Fifty years ago, says Woods tiutchin. son, writing in Saturday Evening Post, bitter starvation and death by hunger were parts of the regular process of the seasons. Familia occurred every winter among savagee every three or five years among semicivilized peoples, and, on an average, about every fifteen years among the most highly civilized nations, until about seventy-five years ago. It wa3 the deliberate and care-. fully considered statement of one of Cie greatest English economists, sixty y ears ago, that four-fifths of the people of Great Britain never in all their lives had had as much as they could eat, and never were comfortably warm from November to April. Now femme - thanks to our steam -won contest of empires of virgin soil -is a thing un- heard of and incredible among civilized races. The last flickering horror of it O Western Europe was the year of the potato blight in Ireland, and, in East- ern Europe, the year of the corn mildew in Russia. .....•••••••••••••••••••••••*••• What a Naval Battle is like. A Russian officer, in describing his experiences on one of the Russian ships during the battle in which the Japan- e3e destroyed the Russian fleet in the Russo-Japanese war,' says: "Shells seamed to be pouring upon us incess- antly, one after another. It seemed as if these were mines not shells which were striking the ship's sides and fall- ing on the deck. They burst as soon as they touch anything- the moment they encountered the least impediment in their fight. Hand -rails, funnel -pays, topping -lifts of the boats' derricks, were quite sufficient to cause a thor- oughly efficient burst. The steel plates and superstructure on the upper deck were torn to pieces, and the splinters caused many casuali ties. Iron ladders were crumpled up into rings, and guns were literally hurled from their mount- ings. Astern the spar -deck had fallen chwn and was burning in a bright flame on the deck; in front of me was a heap of debris. The ladders to the bridge had gone and the starboard end of the bridge had been destroyed; even the gangway under the bridge on the other side was blocked. I was obliged to go below again and come up on the port side." GILLETT'S LYE EATS DIRT" .gLooIuoas OPIHM3„Y4k 0101474C.* twaA,4\V;„ GILLETT COMPANYLIMITED ALL WORK A SCHOOL.
