I wish to warn the'farmers of Ontario: against inferior lightning rods. One of the same companies that bun- coed the farmers with iron -centred rods last year is reported to be selling the same rod again this year. Watch out for them. There is .• no difficulty in spotting these rods. The outside covering is a thin sheet of copper. Inside of the copper is a strip of galvanized steel or iron one-half inch wide and two galvan- ized steel or iron wires about No. 10. The copper sheet is twisted around the strip and wires giving the rod a corru- gated appearance. The steel or iron will rust out in from five to ten years, For photograph �f what happened to a rod of this kind in less than eight years see Figure 34, Bulletin 220, which may be had by writing the Department of Agriculture, Toronto. An Illinois firm is circularizing the trade and others advocating the "Mast" Lightning Rod System. They declare that twisted cables are positively dan- gerous, claiming they act like "choke - coils:" that tubes only should be used, that insulators must be used, etc. For concentrated essence of error these circulars surpass anything else I have seen. Beware of the man with the iron - centred rod and the man who claims that twisted cables are dangerous. This Department will be glad to be in- formed regarding the operations of either Wm. H.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be tak- en out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be des- troyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

And yet the census man insists She has "No occupation. She irons for a iittle while, Then presses pants for daddy; She welcomes with a cheery smile Returning lass and laddie. A hearty dinner next she cooks (No time fpr relaxation.)

SAVING AND SUCCESS, A great banking house issues,: as an advertisement, thia quotation from James J. Hill: "If you want to know whether you are to be a success or failure in life you can easily find out, The test is simple and •infallible. Are you able to save money? If you drop, out, you will loose. Yqu may think not, but you will loose as sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you." James J. Hill has far too sound sense and far too wide vision ever to have said this without qualification. The mere saving of money helps to success in petty business; in large busi- ness it helps but little; and in the professions, the sciences, the arts and in aniline of physical, social, intellect- ual and normal betterment of mankind it counts not at all. The world's greatest men and women whom history ranks as the highest suc- cess down through all the ages, and who have led us from savegery to civi- lization, became great not through what they got, but through what they gave, They not only did save their money, they did not save themselves. Who could imagine a Homer, a Lut- her, a Milton, a Franklin, devoting their lives to the paltry saving of their pennies? Few of them ever had pennies to save. Saving has its virtues but it has its voices, too. It is the worst of all. voices when it narrows a soul down to mere momey. Guelph is to be made a camp ground for the training of troops now at Lon- don, as well as those already there. A sugar refining plant to cost about a million dollarsis proposed to be erect- ed at Chatham by the Dominion Sugar Company. The Council of the Montreal Board of Trade adopted and sent to Premier Borden a strongly -worded resolution de- claring that the holding of an election "at this unprecedented time of stress" would be most deplorable from both a patriotic and a business standpoint. What the Panama canal means in the saving of time was well illustrated in the case of a Norwegian 'four masted - schooner which was recently towed through the new waterway. Though the Canal tolls amounted to some $2,- 700, the saving of eighty days in reach- ing her destination is said to have made the expenditure, in view of the high earnings of vessels at present, an economical one for her owners. Although the Panama Canal is not yet safe for vessels of exceptionally deep draught. 98 vessels, carrying car- goes aggregating 500,000 tons, passed through the canal in the month of Jan- uary, and the total of tolls collected since the opening of navigation is al- ready more than $2,000,000. Consider- ing that the world has been commer- cially ham -strung, the canal has been nailing up a sheaf of records. Millions confuse us; billions confuse still more; trillions simply daze us. But the New York Independent gives some plain figures which enable even the average man to form some idea of the cost of the war. The gun of a single soldier, $35; 1,000 cartridges, $35; uniform, $8. Other necessaries bring the total up to $91. to $95. The average life of a uniform is two weeks; a rifle, six months. It requires two and a half rifles to • a man at the start. Cannon are vastly more costly and the ammuni- tion of the big guns burns up money like tinder. Tha French army alone fired 180,000 shells a day in the long battle of the Marne. Lloyd George may well say that the drink evil is the greatest of Britain's enemies in the present war. During 1913 Britain's consumption of liquor aggregated $800,000,000 or, for a house- hold of five persons, nearly $90, prac- tically $1.75 per week. But it must be remembered that three persons out of ten years of age, while numerous fami lies are total abstainers, For those who support the trade as customers the real c tnsumption is higher, therefore, than these figures would indicate. Fur- thermore, these figures are for 1913 and it is well known that since the war began the consumption of liquor has largely increased. Practical.

TORTURED BY CONSTIPATION "Fruit -a -tires" Cored ParelyN zed Dowels and Digestion ST. BONINACR DE SHAWINIG.AN, Qu$, Feb. 3rd. 1914. ""It is a pleasure to me to inform you that after suffering from Chronic Constipation for 2'4 years, I have been cured by "Pruit-a,tives".

SHALL GIRLS PROPOSE? Is it not a little curious that a subject which is scarcely second to any other in life in importance gets no treatment of serious kind? "What!" cries Mrs. Grundy, "would you have a modest young lady go to a man and asked him to marry her?" This is supposed to end the discussion, except for flippant jokes. But does it? Patti proposed to her husband. Be remarked to her one day: "All Paris says we are engaged." "Why not?" she said. "I am sure I should be very haPPy." • DeLesseps, who dug the Suez Canal, was proposed to when past 60 by a girl under 19 and married her. Priscilla, in "The Courtship of Miles Standish," asks: "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" Many shrewd philosophers declare of the modern woman that, though the man seldom knows it, she nearly always does the proposing. If a color is not white, is it necessari- ly black? Is there no middle ground that love, delicacy and tact may take? Are not most proposals spontaneous? Matters of detail will take care of themselves, and especially if women are the prime movers, will shape them- selves always in grace and delicacy. For not in mere formality, but far deeper, is the true modesty and beauty of girlhood and womanhood.- St. Thom• as Times. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR IA, IS THIS THE TIME ? (Toronto Star.) Is this a time when the Government of Canada should go on strike, quit work, and walk out, demanding better terms and a new five-year contract in office? If the Borden Government runs away from its responsibilities at this time, chucks up office, throws the country into the confusion of a general election in the hope of grabbing a better and more lengthy hold on office, then the present Government is unfit to govern, and deserves to go to suicide at the polls. Imagine a Government which, ac- cording to some of its own newspaper organs in this city, is spending its time -was yesterday and is to -day - scheming for a new lease of office over and beyond the autumn of next year, while the whole, people of Canada are in grief for officers killed in action and await with deep anxiety the names of 2,000 of the country's sons who have been placed on the casualty list within the past week? There is work to do. There are hospitals to equip. There is equipment to completion. There are new armies to be raised. • The Government is in office. Let it govern. There will never come, in the life of Sir Robert Borden or any man in his Cabinet, a period for • work and service comparable in importance with the weeks and months that stretch straight ahead of him and them. If they are equal to the tasks that need doing, let them go to these tasks and leave their future ;n the hands of the people of Canada. But if they now go on strike, if they ran away, if they go to the country when they ought to "go to war," they should stay in the coun- try and the affairs of Government be turned over to others.

The early fly's the one to swat - It comes before the weather's hot And sits around files its'legs, And lays at least ten million eggs, And every egg will bring a fly To drive us crazy bye -and -bye. Oh, every fly that escapes our swat- ters Will have five million sons and daugh- ters And countless first and second cousins, And aunts and uncles, scores of dozens So knock the blame thing all to pieces And every niece and every aunt - Unless we swat them so they can't - Will lay enough dodgasted eggs To fill up ten five gallon kegs, And all these eggs are summer flies; And thus it goes; an endless chain, So all our swatting is in vain Unless we do that swatting soon, In May time and in early June. So men and brothers let us rise, Gird up your loins and swat the flies, And sisters leave your cosy bowers Where you have wasted many hours - With ardour in your souls and eyes, Roll .up your sleeves and swat the flies.

Much destruction and desolation are being caused. Lives are being lost by the thousand. Canada's first contingent is now in the thick of it. Some will fall sick; many may be wounded; some will pay the last full measure of devotion to their country and its cause. The Red Cross Society exists to suc- cor the sick and wounded in war. The need of Red Cross Service is great and growing greater as the war goes on. The price of progress towards lasting peace is very, very dear. It cost lives, homes, health ano much besides. Can ada's part in the process of payment. through giving for Red Cross work, is mercifully light and easy, even when all have given to the extent of really feeling it. The soldiers and sailors pay the price exacted by the desolating struggle from week to week. What they paid in blood and did in sacrifice a month ago was not enough for them. Shall we say it was enough for them. Shall we say it was enough for us? What they are doing and suffering and achieving have put aside, for the time, all their thoughts and plans for individual wel- fare, comfort and safety. They don't hesitate to establish precedents. But they are precedents of heroic sacrifice for our country and its cause, for our principles and ideals that they may be upheld. Farmers, individually as well as through their Institutes, Clubs, and Cheese and Butter Factories, are in a position to help very greatly. Their business does not suffer from the war. Prices of nearly all farm products have gone up. While labour is scarce there is time to think of the boys at the front and to send the Red Cross Society a gift to be spent for the sick and wound- ed. Farmers are generous in sentiment and generous in giving when their hearts and heads point the way. This is a case when they do so point clearly, persuasively and urgently. In this crisis, in the lives of nations and in the lives of stricken soldiers, none can pray too muoh, or give too much. I appeal to farmers to send me sums from $1 to $50, during the first week in May. Every $50 provides one addition- al hospital bed with the giver's name over it. By sending me about $10,000, you would serve your cm"ntry well, bring credit to yourselves and make all of us very proud of you. For the sake of the wounded boys, make the gift substantial. It will be an investment towards the recovery of some Canadian soldier who stood in our stead that our cause might be upheld. Faithhully your friend JAS. W.

Box 62 OLD STAGE QUITS After making daily trips for about sixty-five years, or almost since the County was formed, the Kincardine - Walkerton Stage made its last journey over the road on Monday and is now like the last rose of summer, faded and gone. It was Good-bye Dolly to the stage when the rural routes started, and as this old relic squeaked for the last time over the landscape on Mon- day, many who sorrowfully shook' their heads at its departure, might easily have said with the songster. "I don't know why I love you, but I do." In going between Kincardine and Walker- ton in the early sixties the stage passed no less than thirteen taverns along the route. Now, one hotel situated at Riversdale is the sole moisture counter on the road, and it is changing hands so often that it isn't probably much of a monoply either. Mr. Watson who has been in charge of the stage for the past eight years and has covered 56 miles per day for six days in each week in his journeys from Kincardine to Walkerton and return, has travelled no less than 139,776 miles, or more than five times the distance around the world in the performance of his duties. Just how many horses he wore out is probably unknown, but after going up against that trip for a while, a horse soon became fitter for the glue factory than the road. The withdrawal of r(., Kincardine stage marks the disappear- ance of the last three stages that formerly came into Walkerton. --Wal- kerton Herald -Times, CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Alwayss beard �,��.__.� Signature of ittesi.
