The man who has the welfare of his town at heart should remember that level-headed practical business men cbmply in a code of words which are called to mind by the following crumbs dropped by Horace Greely in an address delivered in an ambitious west- ern town, Order your boots from New York. Buy of peddlers as often as pos- sible. Go to some other place to get your job printing done. Contribute what news you have to any but home papers. Glory in the downfall of a man who done much to buildup the town. Patronize out of town papers to the exclusion of your own and denounce them for not being as large and as cheap as city papers. Attend the services of some minister who lives in a bigger town and has a bigger salary, and let the home preach- er live on sawdust and needles. It's fashionable you know. Nova Scotia had no trouble fn nego- tiating a loan of a million dollars at four and a half per cent. Offers flock- ed in from all the leading banks. WALK! Walk, warns the United States Health Service, The death rate after the age of 40 is increasing. Would you live to the age of the eldest auk? Heed the prescription: Walk, walk, walk! Past 40, draw your Zine of chalk. Toe it, and then proceed 'to walk. The bilious may be inclined to balk: But if you are wiser you will walk. Though you be stiff as you start to squalk. The way to avoid the catafalque Is to start in now and walk, walk, walk! ' HOUSEHOLD HINTS Before sweeping old carpets, sprinkle with pieces of newspaper wrung out of water. After sweeping, wipe over with a cloth wrung out of a weak solu- tion of ammonia water, which seems to brighten colors. Smoked ceilings may be cleaned by washing with cloths wrung out of water in which a small piece of washing soda has been dissolved. Curtain and portiere poles allow the hangings to slip easily if rubbed with hard soap. The hinges of creaking doors may be treated in the same way. A small soft brush such as painters use is excellent for dusting carved or wicker furniture, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTC R I a4. -A•a+ir+♦00•••♦o♦400.t't+Es+Ym•-e9.@tr0a0Ao4♦♦••♦b••A4.O+♦♦®®o • • The Times • • ♦ • Clubbing List ♦ • ♦ • • ♦ 0 • ♦ ♦ 4 of ♦ • • 4. • • .q 4 A A • 0 • • • ♦ .• d• • • • • 4 • 0 4 • • Times and Saturday Globe Times and Daily • Globe Times and Daily World Times and Family Herald and Weekly Star Times and Toronto Weekly Sun Times and Toronto Daily Star . • ....V OO Times and Toronto Daily News., Times and Daily Mail and Empire Times and Weekly Mail and Empire Times and Farmers' Advocate Times and Canadian Farm (weekly) Times and Farm and Dairy....

WHITMAN 382 St. Yeller St., Montreal. - "In 1912, I was taken suddenly ill with Acute Stomach Trouble and dropped in the street. I was treated by several physicians for nearly two years. I was in constant misery from my stomach and my weight dropped down from 225 pounds to 160 pounds. . Soyeral of my friends advised me to try `Fruit-a-tives' and I did so. That was eight months ago. I began to improve almost with itce first dose. No other medicine I ever used needs() pleasantly and quickly as `Fruit-a-tives', and by using it I recovered from the distressing Stomach Trouble, and all pain and Con.ripation and raiser' were cured.

WEEDS An exchange says: It should be scarcely necessary to comment upon the loss which annually occurs through the agency of weeds on the farm, but that it is great we can well believe. Last year saw approximately sixty thousand tons of weed seeds cleaned out of our grain at the head of the Great Lakes. How much more was cleaned out at local mills and elevators, or left on the farms to renew next year's weed crop, But for many species of birds that feed freely upon the seeds 'of noxi- ous weeds no one knows how many more tons of such seeds would annually be harvested with our crops. This evidently refers to the United States' crop, but it all goes to show the loss from weeds which may seem trivi- al on individual farms but in the aggre- gate untold represent untold loss.

A community can safely be judged by the kind of highways it maintains. The greatest chasm between the pro- ducer and the consumer is the mud hole. There is something radically wrong with the fanner who is opposed to good roads: Without good roads there can be no development that will be permanent and enduring.

The British Empire has now a popu- lation of 419,000,000, of whom 57,000,000 live in the United Kingdom. Of the 362,000,000 who live outside the British Isles, the great majority is composed of the population of India. From com- parative figures recently published some statistics of the population of the Em- pire outside the United Kingdom are here given showing the totals for race and color for the 362,000,000 people in- volved: Brown ... .. ... 306,614,000 Black 23,819,000 Yellow.... ....... 14, 516,000 White .... ... ... 14,081,000 Malay ... 1,629,000 Mixed .. .... .. 1,013,000 Polynesian .. .. 217,200 Red 108,600 The Congregational t''nion of Canada expressed gratification at the progress of Church Union negotiations, and the hope that thers be no unnecessary de- lay. Total 362,000,000 KEEP SMILING, BUT - It will not suffice to keep smiling; It will not quite serve to be gay, It's never enough to sing out; "I'm the stuff! "I'll win -if you give me my way." You've got to stand up to disaster, Defeated, your courage renew; Then say with a grin that means busi- ness: "I'll win In spite of the worst you can do!" The world loves a smiler -that's grant- ed: But sometimes the world, •without fear, Is quick to surmise that his anger won't rise, So hands him a poke in the ear! Then if he keeps buoyantly smiling Nor takes in his humor a tuck, The world will declare: "Since he seems not to care, I'll swat him another for luck." Keep grinning! Oh, yes, be as cheery As ever you wish to the while; But show that beneath is a full set of teeth To back up and bolster the smile. Remind the old world that you're ready To fight to the end of the war; The world then -no myth! -you will get to smile with you That might have smiled at you before! -From The Chicago News. WORTH REMEMBERING The clever girl who wishes to attract a man knows that a glance can convey more admiration than a volume of words. She does not write . letters which she has to ask to be destroyed after they are read, She knows that haughtiness, disdain and condescension, are but other words for common everyday use. She never expects her husband to be in a good temper when paying house- keeping bills. She is always bright and hopeful, and never oppresses her friends by pour- ing out her troubles to them. She is not too confiding in her friends but tells her husband or her sweetheart everything they ought to know. She does not imagine that everyone should show consideration for her feel- ings at all times.

Girls, here's a sure tip: When a fellow leaves Ma at home and goes "by his lonesome" to church, picnics, movies. club meetings, he's flying the black flag of a pirate to whom your happiness will mean just about nothing. Pull your face into a bneer and notice , what an unlovely world this is; smile, and observe how cheerful life may be. Politeness pays, even with a mule. One needs to retain one's own self• respect, no matter what the mule thinks about it, If we married wives with as much care as we trade horses, Solomon in all his glory would be eclipsed by our wis- dom. STARVING THE GERMAN BRITAIN'S TASK IN THE WAR 18 A DIFFI4'ULT ONE. The Problem of Keeping the Kaiser's I Workshops Without Copper Is Stupendous, But Britain Is Using Her Comnacrclal and Naval Power Shrewdly and According to the Rules of War. Will Britain be able eventually to starve Germany out? So far Great Britain has been fairly sgccessful in drawing a fence of steel about Ger- many's shores, but Germany's neces- sity has made it worth the while • of thousands of keen business Igen in neutral countries, and 1 am afraid of some in the old country, whose keen- ness is greater than their patriotism, to plan means for circumventing the blockade. This phase of the war has come down to a struggle of wits between the British Government and the neutral traders, and it is a strug- gle which must 11ze carried on with, the utmost diplawacy, for Great Britain does not wish, even if she could afford, to antagonize the people of the neutral countries by interfer- ing with their business more than is absolutely necessary. With her own people she. can deal in one of two ways when she catches them. If the offence is not a serious one they may be dealt with under the new trading with the enemy Act, which provides for a fine of $5,000 or five years' imprisonment or both, but it a British subject is caught supplying arms or militar;' stores to the enemy he may be tried for high treason, for which the punishment is death, An interesting situation is that in regard to copper. Copper may well be described as the life -blood of war, and without it Germany cannot con-, tinue to fight long. It is used for cartridge cases, for shells, and for all sorts of machinery in connection with the guns on which Germany re- lies so much, Copper, of course, is on the list of contraband, and under international law Great Britain has a perfect right to seize every cargo of copper which she can prove is destined for Ger- many. At the beginning of the war she did so, and, as a matter of fact, she is still doing so, but she has run up against a very difficult situation. The copper supply of the world is controlled largely by the Guggen- heim interests. Britain, as well as Germany, must buy her copper from them, and the Guggenheims don't like the idea of their cargoes which they have sold to the Germans being seized by their other customer. Of course, Great Britain has scrupulous- ly paid for all the copper that she has seized, but the result of the seizures has been to reduce her own orders for the metal. If she goes on seizing, the copper magnates have threatened to cut off her own supply. One way out of the difficulty, of course, would be for Great Britain to take the entire available supply of copper, and she could well afford to do so. There has been great difficulty in adjusting matters with Holland and the Scandinavian countries, especial- ly Sweden, on which Germany has relied as sources of supply for many things, and as gates through which she may receive goods from over- seas. Great Britain does not desire to quarrel with or to injure their trade more than is absolutely neces- sary for many reasons. One is that in normal times they are excellent customers of Britain and excellent friends as well. The following figures will show how in. a few articles of every day use Germany has been drawing sup- plies from Great Britain itself through these neutral countries. In the months of September and Octo- her, 1913, Britain exported to Hol- lland, 733,800 pounds of tea, and in the same period Holland exported to Germany 1,028,356 pounds. In the corresponding two months of this year Britain exported to Holland 11,440,000 pounds of tea, and Hol- land sunt 16,328,464 pounds to Ger- many. These figures are still more 'remarkable when we remember that ! Germany is not a tea -drinking coun- try. In ordinary years she consumes about 9,000,000 pounds. The only conclusion we can draw, therefore, is that having seen how well the British troops fight on tea she has begun to serve it to her own soldiers. Similar figures show how she has been drawing cocoa and coffee from Great Britain. In the same two months of 1913 Great Britain ex- ported to all European countries 2,- 5 22,7 32 ,-522,732 pounds of cocoa, and in the two months of this year she export- ed 9,526,115 pounds. The figures for coffee for the same period were 20,- 966 cwt., and 83,087 cwt. The situation has already been dealt with by the Board of Trade, which has put an embargo on the export of tea and coffee from Great Britain to the countries bordering on Germany. They have been informed as politely as possible that they have had all of these beverages that they can consume for a long time to come, and that Great Britain has no more to spare for them. Germany has so far been willing to pay a price enough above the mar- ket to make it worth while to secure the stuff through the countries on her borders. Grain and meat are two necessities which Germany is much in need of and which she has been unable to obtain in any quantity, owing partly to the arrangements made by the Board of Trade and partly to the patriotism of the dealers engaged in the trade. The international grain trade is almost entirely controlled by a few large houses with headquarters in London. Some of them are Brit- ish and some. are French, and both have rigorously shut down on the supply of grain to Germany or to countries which might past it on to Germany. At their suggestion the Board of Trade arrived at as iegeni- ous bargain with the 'neutrals which prevents them from suffering any hardship, presetvea their trade, and overcomes all ditfloulties of Snanee ai the same tinge.

Bishop Williams of London declares that more Anglican chaplains should be appointed to the Canadian field forces, as three-fifths of the soldiers belong to the Anglican Church. Alberta's wool crop will approximate a million and a half pounds. Prices have already been paid as high as twen- ty-five cents, though last year's crop sold around sixteen. Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Ag- ricultural, has .established experiment- al stations in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to investigate potato and other plant diseases. A Calamity. Five-year-old Tot's uiotber was tell- ing the youngster the story of herself and her twin sister. "One morning when we were a week old the nurse was bathing us, and she took the blue ribbon off Della's wrist and the pink ribbon ott Stella's wrist. When she was ready to put them on again she could not remember which one of us was Della and which was Stella, so she took ns in to mother, but mother could not tell either, and no one ever did know whether or not we had our right names. Then when we were seven years old one of as died. and nobody knows whether it was Della or Steuu." Little Tot burst into an agony Of tears and sobbed out, "1 just know it was my own mother that died when she was seven years olds" -Youth's Companion. A Rhineland Legend. There is a Rhineland legend of three German robbers wbo, having acquired by various atrocities what amounted to a very valuable booty, agreed to di- vide the spoil and to retire from so dangerous a vocation. When the day appointed for this purpose arrived one of them was dispatched to a neighbor- ing town to purchase provisions for their last carousal. The other two secretly agreed to murder him on his retnrn that they might divide his share between them. They did so. But the murdered man was a closer cal- culator even than his assassins, for be bad previously poisoned a part ot the provisions, that he inlght appropriate to himself the wbole ot the spoil.

Ihrammusenetzsztommonizzasill NIPPING CANES. Every year raspberries and black- berries produce new canes. When the new growth has attained a height of thirteen to twenty inches for raspberries (black and red varieties), and two feet of blackberries, break off the tip end of each cane if you want to get the best results. 'No shears nor prunning device is required. The work can be done with the thumb and finer, as the growthsbreak off easily. This nipping of the tips, stops growth beyond that point, but it is important that the shoots should he nipped when they reach the height named, instead of being cut back to that •height after growing beyond it. The idea is that a long cane, with all the bearing laterals near the top, is likely to droop nearly or close to the ground unless given artificial support, which takes time and material. If the. canes are nipped at the proper 'times they will develop into strong, hardy, stocky canes, with a good supply of bearing laterals, capable, in the case of most varieties, of holding up the fruit without support. Some canes are slower of growth than others, and it may become necessary to make several trips to the garden before they are all pinched back. Inc the case of gooseberries and cur- rants, all canes over three years old should be removed. This will allow a new shoot to take the place of the one removed. After the pruning. a bush will consist of an equal number of canes of from one to four years, and from six to ten cage. After harvesting each theafruit, all but the canes of the present yesr's growth may be removed by cutting from the currant, goose, black and raspberry bushes. Weak and crowding canes may also be , removed. Leave from aix to eight canes per plant, of red and black berries. --Farmer's Digest.
