AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.
To the Editor; -
I was present when some gentlemen
were discussing the frequency at auto-
mobile accidents. One related the cir-
cumstances of cases that had come
within his knowledge and another would
relate cases that he had known of or
heard of. I was struck with the fre-
quency with which the remark was
made "Oh that crowd were drunk."
Not all but a large proportion of the
cases referred to had evidently been
caused by drink. A young man recent-
ly told me of having been out in the
country with three other gentlemen.
Three of them had some whiskey but
were not drunk, the fourth had not
partaken of the whiskey at all. On
their way home in an automobile they
were running right in front of an ex-
press train when one of them called out
to the chauffeur. They were all amazed
that they had not seen or heard the
train. The one who saw and warned
the chauffer was the one who had had
no whiskey.
Science has proved that even one
small glass of beer or whiskey will dull
the senses of sight and hearing and the
Union Pacific Railroad will not allow an
engineer or conductor to take out it
train who has had even one small glass
of liquor. Evidently they know that
many accidents are caused by drink ah
though the man is not drunk.
We are using three terrible powers,.
steam, gas and electricity, which call
for all the senses with which people are
endowed and to dull these senses is to
invite disaster. The killings are be-
coming terribly frequent. and no one
knows when his turn will come to be
mangled by the fault of some half -tipsy
man. To allow such a powerful engine
as an automobile on the public thor-
oughfare in the hands of a man crazed
or stupid with drink is sheer madness
and something must be done quickly to
lessen the frequent killings. If it were
made criminal offence for one man to
offer another intoxicating liquor it
would do away with most of the trouble.

L Word Of Gratitude,
"In justice to humanityI want to tell
you that I was a great sufferer from
itching piles, and have found Dr.
Chase's Ointment the best treatment
obtainable," writes Mr. Fred Hinz,
Brodhagen, Ont. "It gives instant re-
lief and I: can recommend it to any
sufferer from this dreadful disease."

START EARLY TO GUARD COMM
FLEXION.
Summer is not a season of pure de-
light to the woman who values a good
complexion, During the warm months
extra precautions are necessary in
order to preserve the texture and
beauty of the skin. for dry winds, hot
sunshine and salt water all play havoc
with the complexion.
It is hardly possible to go about with
protection, in the form of a veil wrapped
about one's face, for this is too warm
for comfort, and disagreeable and dan-
gerous to the eyes, besides. But there
are certain precautions which can be
taken to relieve the burning sensation
which comes from exposure to the sun.
When you have been out in the hot
summer air and allowed the sun's rays
to kiss your cheeks 3 oa will find, of
course, that your skin has become red
and dry from this reckless exposure.
Don't come in from out of doors, where
you have been enjoying a motor trip or
a game of tennis, and wash the dust
from your skin with soap and water.
This only increases the burning sensa-
tion and the dryness of the skin.
First rub on a quantity of cold cream
and rub thoroughly with a soft cloth.
After the irritation has been somewhat
lessened the fa,ce should then be wash-
ed and thoroughly cleansed. Fill a
basin two-thirds full of fresh soft
water. Should the water which flows
from a faucet be hard, then soften it
with a teaspoonful of borax to every
basin. Dip the face in the water, and
afterwards the hands. Soap the hands
well and rub with a gentle motion over
the face. Dip the face a second time
into the water in the basin, rinse thor-
oughly and dry with a thick, soft towel.
After the facial bath apply some simple
lotion, slightly astringent. It will be
found very refreshing.
The use of good cleansing cream be-
fore the facial bath and a suitable lotion
afterward has a really wonderful effect
in improving the complexion. The
effect of a clean face is in itself alto-
gether delightfnl. Such a bath tends
to rest and refresh the bather and put
her in a good temper. Many a bad
complexion is due to nothing more or
less than neglect of a proper cleansing
process. If more fa^es were kept really
clean a great improvement in the ap-
pearance would be noticed.

THE CULTIVATION OF CORN.
The Agricultural Gazette in a recent
number contained much important
matter relating to the cultivation of
corn. "By the aid of science," the
Gazette says, "great progress has been
made in extending and improding the
corn crop in Canada. In thirty years
the yield has increased from a little
over nine million bushels to nearly
seventeen million. In 1893 the yield of
fodder corn was 1,049,524 tons. Twenty
years later, or in 1913, it was 2,616,300
tons. Increase and improvement were
noticeable in almost every province.
Relative to 'the argument sometimes
advanced that Canada is situated too
far north for the production of corn,
Dr. M. 0. Matte, Dominion Agrostolo-
gist, says that while there are districts
in Canada where Indian corn could and
should he grown to the greatest ad-
vantage, there are also thousands of
square miles where profitahle growing
would be very difficult. After stating
that the quality of the ensilage produced
by a certain variety of corn would be
the factor which should guide the farm-
er in his chbict' of seed, Dr. Matte says
that the experience gained by the Ex-
perimental Farms demonstrates the
wisdom of increasing the acreage of
early varieties rather than of depending
on large yielding late sorts for the de-
sired ,tonnage.
The Canadian Seed Growers' As-
sociation has given special attention to
the corn crop, particularly to that
grown for ensilage. All experiments
and research indicate that the greet
need of ensilage growers is a supply of
seed corn of strong vitality and of :t
variety and strain suited to the cot -
ditions under which it is to be grown.
For Ontario the following seven varieties
are best adapted:
DENTS -Wisconsin, No. 7, Gold,"'
Glow, Whitecap Yellow Dent, Bailey.
FLINTS -- Longfellow, Comptnn's
Early, Salzer's North Dakota.
As for sweet corn. Deputy Minister)
Roadhouse states that the Golden Bah -
tam has proved the best early variety 1
and Strowell's Evergreen the best late
variety.

AFRAID SHE
WAS DYING
Suffered Terribly Until She
Took "Fru(t-a-tires"
Sr. JEAN nn MATH., JAN, 27th. 1914.
"After suffering for a long time
with Dyspepsia, I have been cured
by "Fruit-a-ttves". I suffered so
much that I would not dare eat for I
was afraid of dying. Five years ago,
I received samples of "Fruit-a-tives"
I did not wish to try theist for I had
little confidence in them but, seeing
my husband's anxiety, I decided to do
so and at once I felt relief. Then I
sent for three boxes and I kept improv-
ing until I was cured. While sick, I
lost several pounds, but after taking
"Fruit-a-tives", I quickly regained
what I had lost. Now I eat, sleep and
digestwell-in aword, I am completely
cured, thanks to "Fruit-a-tives' ,

"WASTED" TIME WELL SPENT.
The word "wasted" is here used ad-
visedly, as wasted time according to
one may be time well •invested accord-
ing to another. One of the most sloven-
ly farmers we have ever known, whose
stock was always the thinnest, crops
the shortest, and buildings the most in
need of repair of any in the locality,
was continually talking of the time his
neighbors were wasting. . The time
spent at Farmers' Institutes, fall fairs,
or agricultural demonstrations, was all
classified as wasted. He fairly boiled
with indignation if any one suggested
taking a day off to go to a picnic.
It always struck us as funny that
this man never noticed that those of
his neighbors who wasted the most
time in the ways mentioned, were the
most prosperous in the community.
Had he noticed this apparent paradox
he probably would not have wasted any
time thinking on the problem. Poor
disgusted man! Had he wasted a little
more time informing himself on the
problems of his calling he might have
learned how to farm. Had he found
time to meet with his fellowmen, even
if only at the Sunday -school picnic, he
might have learned something of how
to live. -"The Busy East."

A CURE FOR LICE.
Heavy lice, which cause heavy mor-
tality among young chicks, may be
exterminated by the use of a simple
mixture composed of equal parts of
ordinary sulphur and lard. Apply the
mixture to the chick's head, working it
down to the skin. As the lard melts
the mixture will spread, earrying the
sulphur to every part of the head. Tne
big head lice, which kill the chicks by
sucking the blood and thus weakening
the little fellows, die within a few
minutes after the sulphur and lard
mixture touches them.
The lard and sulphur mixture may
also be used to get rid of the other
species of lice that attack young chicks.
Applied under the wings, around the
vent, at the base of the tail, eta., the
mixture will rid the chicks of every
variety of insect pest. It is wholly
harmless unless too much is used, so
see that only enough of the ointment is
applied to obtain the desired effect.
SEVEN MISTAKES OF LIFE.
Here is an American editor's enum-
ration of the seven mistakes of
life:
1 -The delusion that individual ad-
vancement is made by crushing others
down.
2 -The tendency to worry about
things that cannot be changed or cor-
rected.
3 -Insisting that a thing is impossible
because we ourselves cannot accomplish
it.
4 -Attempting to compel other men
to believe and live as we do.
5 -Failure to refine the mind by ac-
quiring the habit of reading good liter-
ature.
6• --Refusing to set aside trivial pre-
ferences in order that important things
tnay be accomplished.
7 -The failure to establish the habit
of saving money.

OBJECTS OF A FARM BUREAU.
Co-operation Among Farmers Is Es-
pecially Dwelt Upon.
One of the farm advisers of the Unit-
ed States department of agriculture in
illissouri has formulated the following
statement as to the objects to be at-
tained through organizing a local farm
bureau:
In order that we may have an offi-
cial board mode up of as many good
farmers as there are townships in the
county to assist the farm adviser In
helping all the farmers of the county.
To circulate information about farm-
ing so that individuals won't have to
experiment to find out what state in-
stittfeions and neighbor farmers have
found out.
To maintain an office that will accu-
mulate valuable statistical data per-
taining to the agriculture of the county.
To maintain a reference library of
valuable bulletins and books for the
benefit of all and more complete than
any busy farmer would have time to
accumulate.
To put ourselves in position to get
our share of the assistance which the
college of agriculture and the United
States departmeut of agriculture are
prepared to give and for which we pay
our share, whether organized to use it
or not.
To take the first step in the county
toward organizing the largest of all its
industries -the farming industry.
To buy and sell co-operatively. It
costs more to market than it does to
grow. We cannot revolutionize a sys-
tem in a day, but we can begin intelli-
gently and conservatively to learn how
to co-operate.
To maintain an exchange department
through which we cnn learn who
wants a man and who wants a job;
who has pure seed and who wants
pure seed; who has a farm to sell and
who wants to buy; how many will
need special seed -for example, which
can be bought in car lots at a saving.
To co-operate with other farm bu-
reaus in other counties In this and oth-
er states in finding markets and tak-
ing advantage of their bargains.
To co-operate in the control of such
contagious diseases as bog cholera.
which have been demonstrated to be
largely controllable by co-operative ef-
fort.
• To teach and bring about the teach-
ing of subjects to farm boys and girls
in schools and clubs, which will be of
value to farm men and women.
In the doing` of all these things to
broaden our minds and add to the full-
ness and interest of country life.
Portable Farrowing Pen.
The illustration herewith shows how
a portable farrowing pen can easily
and cheaply be made. The runners
are 2 by 0 and any length desired.
Any sound. planking will do for the
body of the pen. A. small window in
the rear end is always advisable, as
light is necessary. The pen cnn easily
be removed from one part of the farm
to another, and it will be found to be
one of the most useful things used in
swine breeding.
Hay Feeding.
A German experiment station has
been feeding hay which has been
stored for from one to three years to
find if its digestibility has been influ-
enced by storage. The conclusion ar-
rived at was that hay was just as di-
gestible after storing as before stor-
ing, and that the chief loss was a me-
chanical loss due to dropping of the
leaves. Experiments were made both
with meadow hay and clover hay that
had been stored in the loft.
A Way to Kill Rats.
A contributor to the Farm and Fire-
side gives the following method for
killing rats: Boil concentrated lye in n
small amount of water till it forms a
thick paste. Then take a bacon rind.
tack to a wide board, and around the
bacon rind spread the lye, Place the
board so rats can easily find it. In at.
tempting to get the rind the rats get
the lye on their feet. The lye will
sting them, and they will lick it of~
and die from its effects.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Dens* Bo Hasty in Judging by Its Loot
You r• D•osivod.
Bret Harte wrote [u one at WI titer100
that you couldn't judge anything by the
appearance of Ws characters. The big-
gest scamp bad a Raphael lace, the
bravest Winn in camp was the smalletTt,
the surest shot had but three Angers
and the best dressed was the worst
, gambler In the state.
The same rale often works out in
real life. Nobody wrote more dry pbil-
osopbical books than England's prize
philosopher, Francis Bacon. But one
day while ill and without consulting
any works of reference be dictated a
volume of jokes which is still the beat
' collection to be found In London.
When Stephen Crane wrote his "Red
Badge of Courage" old soldiers thongbt
the author must have gone through the
war. Just out of college. Crane bad
scarcely ever heard a gun fired, and he
was not born until years after Appo-
mattox.
A 220 pound bully was making trou-
ble In a Philadelphia street railway
car when a small, pleasant faced youth
remonstrated. Every one expected to
see the giant literally crush the young
man who had Interfered. ,As they step-
ped oaf the car the bully was knocked
senseless by a blow of the other's fist -
the dst of Billy Recap, then champion
amateur lightweight boxer of America.
I heard Bob Burdette, the funny man,
tell how the soldiers laughed at a young
fop of a cavalry officer until they saw
him just once leading a charge. Then
they knew it was General Custer, and
they laughed no more.
So you cannot always tell what is le
a man's bead or his fist by bis personal
appearance or by bis previous work. -
Philadelphia Ledger.
HE SIMPLY FORGOT.
The Hurried Married Man Didn't
Think, but His Wife Did.
He really meant to kiss bis wife this
morning as he lett the house to go to
work.
But he forgot. He was thinking of
the cares of the shop, of the thousand
and one matters which concern him in
the big world with which he wrestles
for a living for her and the kids.
Anyhow, he said to himself after-
ward, what's a kiss? it oughtn't to
take such a mere formality to con-
vince of his love and trust the woman
he has made the mistress of his home,
the mother 01 bis children. eshawl
The chances are she never noticed the
omission. So why should he worry?
But back home a woman wept -wept
not because she doubted her husband's
constancy, not because she felt that
he wouldn't prove big and true and
fine 1n an emergency, but because. wo-
manlike, shut within home's four walls,
doomed to another day of petty rou-
tine, much of it to be endured all alone,
she wanted that kiss as a token and a
memory -wanted it as proof that not
in her case could the poet write:
He's lost, you see, 'cause he married me;
Goodby, my lover, goodby.
Now if you, Mr. Man, made such a
break as that this morning, do you
know what you ought to do?
Go home tonight with a present in
each hand and plant two kisses where
one grew before. -New Orleans States.
Belgian Hedges.
In Belgium there are no stone or
hawthorn hedges like those in England.
Instead of being inclosed by a hedge
the fields are raised up by fairly high
earth banks and the roads are cat out
of them, as It were, so that when you
are walking in the country yon are
down in a sort of valley with low green
banks on either side of yon.
The things that are chiefly cultivated
in Belgium are the beet root -for mak-
ing the cheaper kind of sugar, you
know -and you can see field upon field
of their red green leaves stretching
on either side of you as you walk along.
Flax is also much grown over there.
and in summer time the fields are a
pretty sight when the pale blue fax
blossoms are out In full bloom. Bel-
gian asparagus is also renowned all
over Europe. It bas white instead of
purple -green tape. -London Mail.
Tough Old Veneta.
If the life of the old man-of-war was
longer than that of the present Dread-
nought the old merchantman lived
longer still. The Lively. for Instance,
when wrecked at Cromer In 1888 bad
been afloat two years over a century.
The Liberty, too, built at Whitby in
1750, was in regular use till 1856. and
the Betsy Calns, which began life as a
frigate and ended as a collier, went
down in ber one bundred and thirty-
seventh year. And In 1902. according
to a daily paper. the Anita. then trad-
ing between Spain and America, dated
from the days of Columbus. -London
Sun.
Her Amendment.
Little Lola had been given a short
poem to commit to memory by her
teacher. In it these lines occurred,
"Sall on, ye mariners, the night 1-s
gone." Later when requested to repeat
the poem be rendered the lines men-
tioned thus, "Sall on, ye married men,
the light is gone." -Chicago News.

FAT AND EGGS.
Occasionally hens get too fat to lay,
but most hens are too lean. Very
rarely do you see a lean hen begin lay-
ing -some hens lay themselves lean.
A very fat hen generally means a poor
layer and commonly the sooner she is
killed the more money will be saved.
The attendant (or person caring for
the flock) has much to do with its suc-
cess. You must have the best breed-
ing and feeding, but the lack of atten-
tion in regularity of feeding, watering,
cleaning houses. etc., means poor re-
turns. Dirty drinking vessels and
dirty drink kill a large number of hens -
Filthy houses and a good cr:lp of hen
lice eat up the profits. The attendant
should cultivate a friendship for the
flock. Do not slam doors or kick pails,
t o say nothing to the hens, and expect
good results.
In conclusion, a limited number of
poultry will pay the vegetable grower
I in supplying his table with meat and
eggs; in disposing of unsaleable ve-
getable; in destroying insects and sup-
plying manure for some of his crops.
Large numbers might not be profit-
able.
Commercially, in my judgement,
there are but three breeds of chickens
in existence. There are 180 breeds of
chickens, and any one of them will do well
under particularly favorable conditions,
but when you get down to where every-
thing counts, such as the breed, the
eggs they lay and the price I would
select Plymouth Reeks, Rhode Island
Reds, and White Leghorns.
If I wanted a general purpose chick-
en it would be Plymouth Rocks. If I
wanted to raise 2,001) or 5,00) chickens
there is just one breed of chickens
you can do it with, and that is White
Leghorns.
A strange disease in the Infants'
Home at Hamilton, which baffles the
doctors, has caused one child's death.
Some of the nurses as well as the
children are affected.
