MISS SPARRING A COMPLETE WRECK From the Atter Effects of Pneu- monia Followed by Diptheria Frequently the after effects of illness are more serious than the original trouble. This was the case with Mrs. James B. Moir, Mutana, Sask. Mrs. Moir says: "Some years ago, while we were still living in Nova Scotia, I was taken down with a severe attack of pneumonia. I had sufficiently recovered to be around, but had not been able to go out when I was attacked with dip- theria. In my weakened state it took a terrible hold on me, and neither my friends nor neighbors thought I would recover. I did, however, pull throu h, but was a physical wreck. The m -cies of my throat were paralyzed, = • that even a sup of water would back through my nostrils unless ey were held closed. My voice wa- almost in- audible, and my eyes so dly effected that I feared I was g. ng to lose my eyesight. I co Id onl walk with as- sistance and i ; loo d as though I would be a hel. ess cripple. Medicine after medicine = used, but did not help me. Then neighbor advised Dr. William's Pink 'ills. I began taking them but had the utmost difficulty in swallowing them owing to the condition of my throat. However, after a couple of boxes had been used 1 found it easier Oren o on ri av to take them, which was a sign they olitical messs a it was the speech of a were helping me, and I felt greatly P g P cheered. I do not know how many statesman to the patriotism of a Cana- I boxes I took, but I continued their use dian citizenship. Sir Wilfrid declared until I was as well as ever, much to the he did not want advantages from the i surprise of all who knew me, as all thought I could not get better. Since then I have several times taken the Pills when run down and have always been greatly benefited by them." For the after effects of fever and all wasting diseases there is no medicine can equal Dr. William's Pink Pills. They enrich the blood, build up the nerves, restore the appetite and bring hack complete health and strength.

"I do not care," he exclaimed, "to open the portals of of- fice with that bloody key." Capt. Edmond Thery, widely known as an economist, estimates that the total military expenditures for the first year of the war will be 50,000,000,000 francs ($10,000,000,000) for the seven allies and 37,000,000,000 francs ($7,400,- 000,000) for Germany, Austria and Tur- key. This makes an average of 7,250,- 000,000 francs ($1,440,000,000) a month, 212,000,000,000 francs ($48.400.000) a day, and 10,000,000 francs $2,000,000) an hour.

It is now definitely known that they took four of the British heavy guns, which are normally stationed anything from two to four miles behind the advance line. The guns indeed were recaptured by a deed of the Can- adian troops which will thrill the heart of the' Motherland with love and pride. The Canadians advanced with magnificent •steadiness—though they are new troops and have only recently received their baptism of fire—facing grievous losses, but they retook the guns and saved the situation for the time being. No words can express the gratitude of the British nation to the great Dominion for this valor of her sons. In the day of battle and sudden death they have been weighed in the balance and not found wanting and not found wanting side by side with the paladins of our regular army. A BATTLE ROYAL (Seaforth Expositor.) An interesting newspaper controversy is now in progress between Mr. James Bowman, M. P., for East Huron, and Mr. Archibald Hislop, the Liberal can- didate for the same constituency. Our readers will remember that a few weeks ago Mr. Hislop had a letter in The Ex- positor dealing with the Financial sit- uation in the Dominion and the Pro- vince. This letter was reproduced in the Brussels Post and Mr. Bowman re- plied to it in that paper. In last week's Post Mr. Hislop had a crushing rejoind- er. If Mr. Hislop desires campaign literature he cannot do better than to have Mr. Bowman's letters and his own printed side by side in pamphlet form and a copy placed in the,hands of every elector in East Huron. Mr. Bowman is a very nice gentleman and a very fine fellow. He is the material out of which successful politicians are usually made. He is genial, symphatic and cordial and has the glad hand for everyone and is altogether a very likable person. But intellectually and in respect to an in- timate knowledge of public affairs he is not in the same class with Mr. Hislop But, unfortunately for the country, these latter qualifications do not count for as much with the mss of the electors as they should. A few hundred dollars of public money spent in a constituency, if the candidate can claim credit for it, although the people have to reimburse every dollar with compound interest, usually count more in an election than the most brilliant mental attainments and the most profound knowledge of public affairs. Pity tis, tis true. If the electorate would place more stress on this latter qualification in a repre- sentative there would be fewer charges of corruption and graft in con- nection with public affairs and the people would have a more intelligent understanding of the actual condition of things. However, East Huron is not by any means singular in this respect. It seems to be a peculiarity in human nature the world over. Flattery and the almighty dollar are a powerful in- fluence with many people.

BRITAIN'S GRATITUDE THE ARMY-, WO41141 The Army worm, probably above all other kinds of insects which increase in enormous numbers periodically, causes widespread anxiety among farmers wben it appears suddenly in a locality, and in a very short time completely de- stroys fields of oats and other grains. The Entomological Branch of the De- partment of • Agriculture has just is- sued Bulletin No. 9, on The Army - worm, prepared by Mr. Arthur Gibson, Chief Assistant Entomologist, whq has charge of investigations on insects af- fecting field crops. In this publication of 34 pages a full description is given of the remarkable outbreak of this notori- ous caterpillar which occured in eastern Canada in 1914. The recent outbreak was the most severe of any which oc- curred in Canada, and the damage caused is estimated at $300,000, five sixths of which took place in the prov- ince of Ontario. The value of the trenching method of control was amply demonstrated. No matter how big the advancing army of worms were, it was shown that crops could be saved from their ravages. In the bulletin the in- sect is discribed in all its stages, and methods of controlling it are given. A full discussion is included on the history and life and habits of the worm, its food plants, natural enemies, etc. The bulletin has 19 useful illustrations, sev- eral of which show clearly the digging of proper trenches and the .results ob- tained in controlling the worms. Copies of this bulletion may be obtained free of charge on appication to the Chief of the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Enquiries re- lating to injurious insects should be ad- dressed to the Dominion Entomologist, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. MANURE AND FERTILIZERS. The Division of Chemistry of the Dominion Department of Agriculture has issued another of that useful series of Circulars by Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Dominion Chemist. This one, Circular No. 8, deals with "Manures and Fertil- izers" and, like all the work of the Doctor, is at once explicit and practi- cal. The first session is devoted to a description of experiences at the Cen- tral and other Experimental Farms, and the second is devoted to a summary and to advice that if followed cannot help but benefit the ;arm and profit the follower. Here are a few sentences given in sententious form that illustrate the conclusions arrived at and the counsel given by Dr. Shutt: Rational farming is "Mixed" farm- ing. Barnyard manure is the most effec- tive of all fertilizers. The liquid portion of the manure is the most valuable. Use sufficient litter in the stables to absorb the liquid. The amount of manure on a farm be- ing.insufficient, frequent light dressings are advisable instead of larger ones at longer intervals. The manure is most advantageously applied for the root or corn crop in the rotation. It is not wise to bury the manure, a shallow ploughing under is more ad- visable. Manure voided. Rational farming of crops. Investigation has proved the high manurial value of clover, alfalfa and other legumes. The lesson is; grow a leguminous crop in the rotation, as all other crops, save the legumes, leave the" soil poorer for their growth. Commercial fertilizers cannbt be de- pended upon profitably to maintain the soil; hence their exclusive' use is dis- countenanced. WRY -ARE ! By home mixing fertilizers a saving YOUof 25 to 35 per cent can be effected.

Another great stride will be taken by the Western University of London next 'ear, as a result of a further assured increase in its jncome. The London City Council has voted a grant of $15,- 000 which wilt assure the Western a revenue of no less than $30,000 for its Arts Department as compared with $19,000 for the year just closing and $8800 the previous year, The total rev- enue available for all Departments will be $75,000, which means a doubling of the income in the course of two years. Five new professors will be engaged at once, and two new science laboratories equipped. Agood gymnasium has been secured and a well-known instructor and director of athletics is being engag- ed. Plans for the • coming year have already been submitted in outline to the Education Department, and it is under- stood they will be acceptable to the Department in granting the same rec- ognition of all degrees as is given to the other universities. With this handi- cap removed and the new interest that is being awakened there are already in- dications of a greatly increased enrol- ment of students at the Western for the coming year, especially as this is the nearest university for all Western On- tario students, and the expense of living in London is comparatively low. Greeley Was Not the First to Say, "Olt West, Young Man:' Who said, "Go west, young man?" The phrase has often been credited to Horace Greeley, but he, was not the first to use it and once denied that he said it. It was written by John B. Is Soule, . a brilliant young man who ed )ted the Terre Haute Express in 1851.3. Richard . W. Thompson of Terre Haute advised him to go waif and grow up with the country, adding; "Why, John, you could write an art). cle that would be attributed to Horace Greeley if you tried.» Soule modestly doubted it, Lal Thompson' insisted, and Soule prom. Ised to try. The resnit was an article in the Express' en the opportunities Offered to young. men by the west, which began by, saying that Horace. Greeley could never have given bet. ter advice than that contained in the words "Go west, young man." It wad a supposititious quotation from Gree ley, but the article was copied, and pretty soon the supposititious Phrase was attributed to Greeley himself. After it had received wide Omelettes the New York Tribune came out with a reprint of the Express article, as companied by a footnote by Mr. Gredt ley saying that he was not the authoi of the expression, but he fully isdorsed it and joined in saying, "GO west, young man; go west."—India. spoils News.

AN ALCOHOLIC ENIGMA. Fewer Persons Seem to Drink, Yet More Liquor 1s Consumed. It is the testimony of the internal revenue receipts of our own govern' went that, notwithstanding the note- worthy extension of the dry areas by, reason of state wide prohibitions and local option laws. consumption of al- coholic liquor has greatly increased. In addition to the dry areas establish- ed by political action ewe use the term in its broad sense) there has been wide promotion of personal: abstinence be- cause of rules against drinking estab- lished by large employers of labor, who realize the wisdom of guarding the safety of employees and the pub- lic against accident, as well as pro- moting general efficiency. We know that in addition to these powerful influences there has grown up a social opposition to intemperate habits that bas a wholescep effect against overindulgence in intoxicating liquors and in favor of total abstinence. In any circle of acquaintances the per- sistent dritikers—the men wbof"make a business of ft"—do not appear to be numerous. The question naturally arises in con- sequence, Where does all the liquor go, and who uses it? Increase of popula- tion in the wet areas does not account for all of it.—Pittsburgh Chronicle•Tel- egrnpb.
