Our weather is thresult of a cause and if we only get at the cause we can eesily foretell the result. Watch and see how these predictions compare with the actual results. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. - - — When sending a present of a cake, or one for a chureh tea meeting, instead of placing it on a plate put it on a heavy piece of cardboard cut to fit and cover- ed v:ith a pane': napkin. It will look well and there will be no plate to re- turn to its owner. If rubbers are a bit too big, stuff a little paper into the toe; helps slot. Eggs to be beaten or eream to be whipped will foam mote readily if a pinch of salt is added. When making pancake batter, use water instead of milk. You will find the cakes lighter and better than when made with milk. .Deesicated (dried) milk when properly prepared has been shown to be a useful adjunct to the various artificial foods for infants. Do not try to extinguish gasoline flames with water, Dry sand, or one of the various fire extieguishers sold for the purpose, will accomplish what Is desired. Pick out some of the nicest apples— perfectly sound ones ; wrap each one separately in paper and place them in a box in a room which is cool all the time (just so they don't freeze). They will be sound long after all other apples are gone. United States Federal, state and local officials have begun a campaign in Illinois, the Department of Agriculture uneounced to -day, to stop what is de- clared was illegal trafficin impure eggs. "From evidence gathered," the de- partment stated, "there seems to be a definite market in Chicago for rots and spots' at $2 a case of thirty dozen. "AIthongh there is a certain demand for inedible eggsfor technical purposes, such as tanning leather, most of the rots and spots that reach Chicago are first broken and frozen and then sold to bakers for use in cakes and other forms of food." Advanced temperance reforms aro indicated in Manitoba by Premier Rob- lin's announcement of a new Govern- ment policy to secure early closing by Ileense-holders. Rev. L. P. Vanier, Benedictine, Superior of the Abbey of Notre Dame du Lac, at Sherbrooke, was drowned, with his servant, in Lake Memphrema- gog, their motor boat being crushed in the ice. The Wakatnbas. a Battu tribe, is the most highly civilized tribe of Africa. They understand ironworking, make use of & decimal system of calculation and have a goodsystem of music. Half the joy of life comes from get- ting good out of things as we go along. Some of us are always putting of our enjoymeete. Aftee a while we expeet to take a rest, ane a friend, reed a book, But after a while never cornea; the good time we are looking forward to lies as far away as ever, Alt our life is spent in meaning to overtake it and enjoy it. Meanwhile we toil. drudge, and grew old, peseing by with unseeing eye the happineee we might get out of every day. " 55c. PER DAY A TRIFLING arnount,—.what does it mean? Just this: That you, as representing the average Canadian citizen, can square off your account with our army of factory workers, by making sure that at least 55 cents worth of the things you buy, in your ordinary every day shopping, arernade right here in Canada -.-the country that gives you your own living. Mat sum, 55 cents a day, equals WO per year. Time are S,0001000 people in Can- ada.If for the support of every one of them, there was spent MO a year on ,:anadian made goods it would give us a factory output of K600,000,000. Back in 1910 11, Canada was enjoying pretty good times, but the total factory output then was less than $1,200,000,000, Yon can easily bury the hard times of to- morrow under the coppers you spend on odds and ends to -end to -day, just by using a little intelligent discrimination, by saying to the shopkeeper— "Nothing but' Made in Cana- da' for Mine."

The same principle is Conelusive Evidence That Dr. Chase's Ointment Cures Itching Piles. Mr. John G. McDonald, Pietou, N.S., writes:—"I used Dr. Chase's Ointment for itebing piles, and found that the first applieation gave relief. After using a few box:c.,s of the ointment I was completely curyd, and can rf:com- mend it highly to all sufferers from this disease. You have my permission to use this letter for the benefit of others." Mr. James M. Douglass, Superior Junction, Ont., writes:—"Por about six years I suffer(41 from piles, and oftext could not work for two or three days at a time, so rat was the suf- fering front pain and itching. Doctors treated me in vain, and I tried many treatments before I came a.eross Dr. Chase's Ointment. Two boxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment cured me, and for several months 3: have had no return of this annoying ailment." There can be no doubt that Dr. Chase's ointment is the most effective treatment obtainable for every form of piles. 60 cents a box, all dealers, C ' ndmanson, Eates & Ob., Limited, Toronto.

I don't know why it is that most ev- ery farmer can judge the age of a horse by looking at its teeth, but fails when he cotnes to judge the age of a cow. The matter is just as simple, and, while perhaps not so important, is worth knowing how. When the calf is born it has a central pair of milk teeth but the remaining pairs appearing within the firet month. These milk teeth are replaced with permanent ones and herein is the key for estimating a eow's age with a fair degree of at ,"ratcYth Ae age of 18 months the central pair of milk teeth is replaced by the permanent ones which are larger and about twice as broad as the first pair. Other pairs come at intervals of about nine months, The settend pair, making four permanent teeth, appears at the age of 27 months; the third pair at the age of three years; and the two end teeth are easily distinguished by their larger size. After the fourth year there is little change in the appearance of the teeth until they begirt to wear. In a few years, however, the teeth begin to get narrower and at the end of the ninth year there is considerable spaee be- tween them. From this time on they keep shrinking, discoloring, and finally begin to drop out one by one. a a cow has horns the age may be estimated quite atcurately by adding two to the number of rings on the horns, After a little practice in eXateining mouths ono can tell just about how old a cow is by looking at her teeth, Chinea 1012 imports front all scam were valued at P50,091,808; exports 074,185,098.

FIGHTING WILD OATS. The Manitoba Department of Agri- culture has obtained exce/lent results from an experiment that was taken this year for the eradication of wild oats. A field of forty acres was found to be badly infested with wild oats, and the experiment conducted gave good results, show that it at least reduc- ed the amo of the wild oats in the field The land was "skim plowed" ex- tremely thin in the fall of 1913 and harrowed once and back. The wild oats were then permitted to grow until June lst, when the field was found to be a perfect mat of wild oats from six to nine inches high. During the first week in June the field was plowed about five inches deep and immediately har- rowed while damp, and sown with bar- ley at the rate of 144 to 8 bushels to the acre, Apparently all the wild oat seed near the surface had germinated dur- ing the spring, for when the crop of barley was cut and stooked there were only about three stooks in the field which showed wild oats. The field will be summer fallowed now and laid out for demonstration purposes. 1 Do not suffer another day_with Itching, Bleed - Ing, or -Protrud. Ing Piles. No surgleal oper. a ti o n required.

Laxa-Liver Pills geatly unto& the secretions, clear away all, waste atfd effete matter from the system, and give tone and vitality to the whole intestinal tract.
