The Wingham Times, 1915-01-14, Page 3January 14th , [915 KIND WORDS. Kind words do not coat much. They 1 are quickly spoken. They do not blister the tongue that utters them. They never have to be repented of. They do not keep us awake till mid- night. It is easy to scatter them. And oh, how much good they may do! They do good to the person from whose lips they fall. Soft words will soften the soul, They will smooth down the rough places in our natures. Care to say kindly things will drill our natures in kindness. It will help pull up all the roots of passion. It will give us a spirit,nf self-control. It will make the conscience delicate. and the disp.isition gentle. A woman cannot make a habit of speaking kind words without aug- menting her own gracious temper. But better will be their influence upon others. If cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words madden them, so will kind words reproduce themselves and soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They make all the better elements of one's nature come trooping to the surface, They melt our stubborness. They arouse an appreciation of better things. Let us say the' kindly word, No one can tell how many burdened hearts may be relieved, how many discouraged souls may be inspired. Say it every day; to the one who disturbs you while you are busy, asking for work; to the one who has almost lost hope; to all. Remem- ber, kind words can never die. --Sacred Heart Review.

Coughs and colds do not call for a minute recital of symptoms as they are well known to everyone, but their dangers are not so well known. All tete most serious affections of the throat, the lungs and the bronchial tubes are, in the be- ginning, but coughs and colds. Many people when they contract e. slight cold do not pay any attention to it, thinking perhaps that it will pass away in a day or two. The upshot is that before they know it, it has settled on their lungs. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that on the first sign of a cough or cold it mtr'•t be gotten rid of immediately, as failure to do this may cause years of suffering from serious lung trouble. • DR. WOOD'S NORWAY PINE SYRUP will cure the cough or cold and prove a preventative from all throat and lung troubles. such as bronchitis, pneumonia and consumption. Mrs. B. >a. Druce, Brighton, Oat., writes: "I am sending you my testi- mony of your Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, telling you what it did for my little girl. The doctor had given her up as she was, as we thought, going into a decline with the cough she had. I was told by a lady friend to try"Dr. Wood's" and when she had taken two bottles she was on her feet again, and four bottles cured her." Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is the best cure for coughs and colds. It is put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; the price, 25c and 50c; manufactured only by The T.

Iceland Brides. In Iceland, where various interest- ing and fantastic superstitions abound, there is an ancient custom that every bride must invite all her friends to a dinner in her home, and every article of food must be prepar- ed by the bride herself. If she suc- ceeds in pleasing her critical guests she achieves not oily praise for her own skill, but she helps along her own younger sisters, who are then assumed to be equally wolf instructed in the intricacies or the culinary art aild consequently have their chances of marriage morn than doubled. ... . • . . . •aPA Clubbing• .

Like an Im ssible Putt, but It Looked L e p� Travis Mastered It. "I once saw Walter J. Travis. the veteran. sink the most wonderful putt it has ever been my lot to witness." says Jerome D. Travers in the Ameri- can Magazine. "The occasion was a Metropolitan chatnpionshlp at Garden City, with Travis and Wilder of Boston in a hard match. Travis was four down and four to play, hanging en by a thin thread of hope. But Travis settled down and won the fifteenth and sixteenth holes, leav- ing himself only two down, with two boles left. He had to win both. of edurse, to even get a half. But his rally seemed to be fading out at the seven- teenth hole, and those who bad wa- gered four to one against Wilder -one man 1 know had bet $200 to $ i0 on Travis -were looking on with sick ex- pressions. tonal! Wilder needed was a half here to win the match. And after playing 'three shots`he was only four feet from the cup. And Travis on his third shot was barely on the green. thirty feet away. ' "The battle seemed to be over beyond any hope, for Travis was not only thir- ' ty feet away, but be had one of the trickiest and hardest greens ou the course to putt over. And even if he made the, putt the odds were that Wil- der would also make his from that dis- tance. Travis had no chance to try for a straight putt. There were two decid- ed breaks in the slope of the green, one to the left and one to the right. And between these two mounded slopes there was a narrow gap between knolls. It was impossible to follow the line of this gap, because the cup was set back of a knoll to the left, blocking entrance in that direction. "He bud only one way to go, and that was to take the mounded slope to the right. The Old Man walked up to the cup and studied the line carefully from that augle. Then he walked slowly back, studying the lay of the ground along the line he must take. tie had to figure all this tricky slope to the inch and to the inch for thirty feet. For :toy slight break off the right line would probably put hint three or four feet away at the finish. "After a careful survey he walked back to his putt and with a free tap sent the ball spinning along. It took tete slope to the right. wound its way along this raised mound and, winding. turning, twisting, up slope and down slope. it broke in at exactly the right spot, about twenty-eight feet away, and it then plumped squarely into the center of the cup, taking its last run from a decided downhill spin where the green sloped off abruptly toward the hole. l've,never seen anotber1tln -1t." • +44411444+++.44444444 All Around1 The Farm 444414444444.)44+14.414441441,4 FOR POULTRY BREEDING. European War Offers Great Oppor- tunity, Says Expert,. That the European war offers great opportunity for American poultry breeders to extend the scope of their business is the opinion of T. E.

Feeding Alfalfa to Horses. .alfalfa is a splendid horse feed, but must be fed with judgment and care. Because of its palatability mature rrshoes are likely to eat too much alful- fa if permitted to have free access to it. The average farm horse at hard work is allowed to eat touch more alfalfa 'and other roughage than he really needs to maintain his weight. One pound of alfalfa ot other bay and aboat one and one-quarter pounds of grain per day for each 100 pounds of the horse's weight make a good ra- tion for the working horse. Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse ' from the cattle tacks is very accepta- ble to horses. Feed mature horses first and second cutting alfalfa. which is free from mold, and dust. Never feed wet alfalfa hay to horses. A sudden change of feed deranges the horse's digestive system. Horses accustomed to alfalfa as a regular part of their ration are seldom troubled from its use. -Extension Bul- letin 28, Nebraska Experiment Station. A Bed of Bayonets.

If they are to be stored the tubers should lie in the sun a few hours to dry off before they are picked up. They should be handled carefully at all stages to prevent bruising. Look at the winter blooming bulbs which are put away in November to root. They may need water, and they should be in the dark and in a cool place In a cold frame outdoors is an ideal place for them. The land that was plowed in the fall for next year's garden will work up better than that that must be plow- ed in the spring.
