RIGHT AND LEFT HANDED. A Series of School Tests and an Am- bidextrous Failure, Ever since it was proved that in all rightbanded people the speech center of the brain -tine place from which Milting is controlled -is en the left side of the brain and that in lefthanded people it is on the right side there has eiisted a suspicion that if a person be- came ambidextrous. or able to use both bands equally well, the speech center might be doubled. and consequently talking ability might be improved. Very elaborete tests have shattered this hope. [r A German specialist obtained the as- sistance or the school authorities and tried it out on nearly 3.000 school chil- dren. After a careful record was tak- en of each child's hand preference, speech ability rani general capability all the children were told to try to use both hands. For many months an ef- fort was made to have all the children become ain bides trots. At the end or the test all the teach- ers and other observers agreed that. though some of the children had sue- eeeded in becoming ambidextrous, the effort bad worried them all and had shown no advantages mnuunlly or in speech that in any wac recompensed for the trouble taken. Consequently the scientist has decided that nature is doing ptetty well with her own sys- tem of left side speech and right band preference. -Saturday Evening Post. Elephants' Ears. The African elephant is equipped with enormous ears, while his brother in India bas only small ears. Both animals have small, inadequate eyes and are forced to trust to scent rather than vision in the battle of existence. The Indian elephant lives in the jun- gle. where odors are pungent and eas- ily discernible, but the African ele- phant is a native of the plains, where the air is dry and hot and barely cir- culates. Tbe beat dries the moisture out of the tiny !lairs in the nostrils which connect with the sensory nerves, and it, Is only through flapping his enormous ears that he can create the Currenw hich enable him to discern at alt. Travelers are prone to ascribe the flapping of an elephant's ears to fury, but this is a mistaken notion.-Phillt- delphia Ledger, Gunners' Patron Saint. Why was St. Barbara chosen to be the patron saint of all gunners? It Is one of those things which are to be known and which one ought to know. but does not. Meanwhile there is the fact that she does intercede for all gun- ners by land or sea. In the old French navy the Ste. Bettie was the gun room, and the name may be found with that meaning at- tached to it in all dictionaries. More- over, in France she is the saint not only of gunners. but of all fire brigades.

LABRIE 594 Champlain St., Montreal, "I have been restored to health by taking'Fruit-a-tives'. For two years, I was a miserable sufferer from Khan. ncatism and ,Stomach Trouble. I became very weak, had frequent dizzy spells and when I took food, felt wretched and sleepy. I sufTered from Rheuma- tism dreadfully, witic pains in my bads and joints and nay hands swollen. A. friend advised me to try`Fruit-a- tives' and from the outset, they did me good. After I had started the second box, I felt I was getting well and I persevered in the treatment, I can truthfully say that `Fruit -a -tires' is the only medicine that helped me. LOUIS LABRIE.

Good prices for stravlberries and other small fruits should have the effect of making tree -fruit growers consider the advisability of rounding out their business with some of the former. Returns come quickly from straw- berries, and nearly all the small fruits are easy to grow; then in addition to the profit on the fruit there is the charm of making money from the sale of plants. Although the growing of small fruits is easy, the harvesting is a more difficult matter, yet it is the grower of huge fruits who as a rule has to employ a large number of hands in his business, and the small fruits become ready for harvest at a time when work for pickers cannot be found among the peaches, apples, or other tree -fruits, and if hands can be found work for a long season they are usually wilting to work for reasonable wages and are better off in the end. Even if the growing of small fruits is not practised commercially, at least sufficient should be raised to provide for home canning and a bountiful table supply during the season; a farmer who does his duty in the field every day is not likely to take any harm from consuming at least a box of berries every 24 hours, and the Winter conditions on many farms de- mand that a big supply of canned fruit be provided. rUOW'S TWAT?

Doesn't seem such a wonderful thing; Yet it carries the prayer for a joy without end, And it throbs with a big, friendly ring. A mere word of cheer, in the shadow of night, When discouragement darkens the way, Will illumine our hearts with the glorious light Of a hopeful and sun -brightened day. When failure confronts us ani dark- ens our goals, How we long for the clasp of a hand! It is then that we Cry from the depths of our souls For a friend who can just under - Stand.

DANDELIONS Means of Control and Methods of Eradication The dandelion, like the poor, is always with us. To maintain a lawn free from; this peat means, in most parts of the 1 country, a constant warfare, and we have at present no methods of eradi- cation to recommend which are easy or' permanent. The following methods which are employed are more or less successful according to locality and the persistence with which they are follow- I ed; , 1. Thick seeding -- Any means by which a thick, vigorous growth of lawn grass is maintained will greatly aid in the control of lawn weeds. Bare spots and thin sod invite a growth of weeds. Occasional sowing of new, clean grass seed, well raked into the bare spots, together with annual fertilizing should be practised. 2. Digging the dandelions -This, the most common control method employed, is quite effective in removing the large plants, if persistently followed and properly done. Unfortunately the piece of root left in the ground is cap- able of sending up one to six or more sprouts from the cut end, especially it not cut deeply. A one -inch chisel or long -bladed knife are suitable tools, and the work is easiest done after a rain or irrigation, while the ground is soft. The plants should be cut as deep -1 ly as possible, and the plants destroyed to prevent ripening of the seed. 3. Spraying -The use of iron sulphate 1 at the rate of one and a quarter pounds to the gallon of water applied in the form of a fine, forcible spray upon the lawn has proved effective at the agri- cultural college in greatly reducing the' number of plants„•and in some cases entirely eradicating them. Three ap- plications about ten days or two weeks apart should be given just after the lawn is mown. No water should be applied during the next 24 hours, The grass will turn dark at first, but soon recovers and usually appears more vigorous than before. This work ap- pears to be the most effective when done during Midsummer and early Autumn. Gasoline applied with an oil can at the rate of about a teaspoonful in the crown of each plant is quite ef- fective in killing the large plants, and is useful in conjunction with the other methods. 4 Year indoors.

MethodsThat Have Been Used by Warriors Since Long Before the Christian Era George Washington Was Galled the American Fabius. .iter the great war In Europe had broken loose in the summer of 1914 and the allies fell back from their first line In northern. Prance to the Marne a good deal was said and written of "Fa- bian tacties," and when the Germans fell back from the line of the Marne to the Aisne more was said of "Fa. bian tactics." In this country when Washington and the heroic Continental army fell back before the English In superior force and of superior equip, relent and perhaps superior discipline, his tactics were called "Fabian." In fact General George Washington was called and by historical writers is still referred to as "the American Fabius," It is probably true that many Amer- icans long parted from their school books bave forgotten about Fabius, even though whenever an array makes an orderly retreat for the purpose of gaining time or reaehing a more favor- able position they speak fluently of "Fabian -tactics." It is a phrase that comes trippingly off the tongue. Fabius, as might' easily be guessed from his name, was a Roman. He commanded the legions of Rome against the powers of Carthage 200 years before the Christian era. The tactics which came to be called after Fabius were no doubt employed cen- turies before Rome was born. Fabian tactics without doubt have been used ever since bodies of men made war, but it may be that Fabius so refined or systematized those tactics that it Is just and worthy they bear his name. Fabius In 217 B. C. stood opposite to the hosts or hordes of Carthagin- ians under the brilliant leadership of Hannibal. In battle before Fabius Maximus was called to the supreme corumand of the Itoman troops in the field the Carthaginians had been vic- torious. Fabius, profiting by what had befallen his predecessors in com- mand. avoided a pitched battle in the open and retreated. fighting as he fell back, holding off the enemy with what are now dee ribed as rear guard actions. Drawing the enemy farther and farther from base or the sources of supplies, wearying their troops more than he wearied his own and delaying a battle until be reached ground where his position would give him a great advantage -a position against superior numbers -where the loss in men and morale of the assail- ants must be great and where at the proper moment the counterstroke could be delivered with high promise of success, the tactics of Fabius won. In some ways the phrase "Fabian tactics" has been diverted from its original and proper significance and is made to comprehend any tactics of a particularly shrewd or "foxy" ma- ture. In this connection it bas been said that Napoleon employed "Fabian ..,. Sept. 16-17 tactics" with brilliant success at Aus- Sept. 21 -22 terlitz.

When the weary war is ended, and the nations cease to groan, when the Right has been defended till it's fit to stand alone, when the Hun has ceased to pillage, and the Vandal's. work is through, when the wrecked and shatter- ed village starts to build itself anew, may the world be saner, wiser, chasten - cd by its frightful loss, putting down the king or kaiser who'd be universal boss! If a crazy king's ambition to be War Lord of this sphere, threatens such a dire condition as the world has known t this year, if he gads as Wilhelm's gadded in his military pride, be should have a cell that's padded where the lunatics abide. You may talk through forty seasons of the causes of the war; I you may spring a hundred reasons that the men are fighting for; but this fact I above the riot stands, and little comfort i yields: Had Old Bill been sane and quiet, there would be, no blood-soaked fields. Had he quit his endlass bluffing had he ceased to kick his hat, telling how he'd knock the stuffing from this nation and from that, had his head- piece been less rattled, had he known less martial heat, all the nations now embattled would be busy growing wheat.

Then be suddenly con- centrated lois whole strength at the center, with the exception of a portion of Bernadotte's corps, which be left to deal with the Austrian turning force, and burst through the line, destroying one wing of the Austrian army as it retreated. Historians of Rome deal at consid- erable length with a family called the Fabii, It is narrated that this ancient and renowned family undertook the duty of defending Roman territory against incursions by the Veientines and for this purpose established them- selves at a place on the Cremara river. The Fabii were drawn into ambush and were all killed. Tbe date of that event is given as B. C. 477. A boy of the family Fabil had been eft in Rome, and he became the sec- ond founder of the family. Fabius Eximns, who won his laurels and his spurs in the second Punic war, was descended from that boy, and there was another famous member of ties family whose name was Fabius Pieter, who wrote a history of Rome and who s often referred to as the earliest Ro- man historian. -Washington Star.
