FIGHTING WITH WHEAT.
Canada's most important activity at
the present time is prosecution of the
war. Coupled with that and as a part
of it is the disposal of the great western
wheat crop.
Canada has more good wheat available
for the market of the world than any
other wheat -producing country. Pro -
duetion generally has been well above
the average, but Canada has produced
quality as well as quantity. Quantity
menus much, especially in war time,

pleased to learn that, there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive eure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment, Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do-

THE GREAT HIGHWAY
(St. Louis Post -Dispatch)
As I came down the great highway
The river hills were bright with dew,
And where the hill trees lined the way
The morning light was streaming
through.
I do not know if you have felt
The thrill of beauty when the day
Is breaking through the river mists
So softly delicate and gray -
But God was in His heaven then,
As I came down the great highway. .
Within a day so many pass
Upon that wide and brimming road,
But do they all, I wonder, know
That beauty there has her abode?
Do their hearts, too, make tender songs
For beauty of the summer day -
For willows mirrored in the stream,
And great green hulls in their array?
I wondered while my own heart sang,
As I came down the great highway.
The great highwaylejs there for all'
To travel as their fancies choose -
The great boats welcome and the small,
Alike for all their gallant crews.
Within a day so many pass,
But do their fancies ever play
As children might, in that broad road,
Delightfully? 1 cannot say.
I only know my own heart sang
As I came down the great highway.
.Bad Cold In The Chest.
"I am happy to tell you, that I used
Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and
Turpentine, and was promptly cured of
a very bad cold in the chest," writes
Miss Josephine Gauthier, Dover South,
Ont. You can depend on Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine to
relieve and cure all inflammations and
irritations of the throat and bronchial
tubes.
A little grape juice, beaten egg white,
added to lemonade forms a delicious,
healthful drink.
Prunes cooked in the oven after
soaking over night, seasoned and
sweetened to taste, are much richer
than if stewed.
A generous pinch of salt added to
flour for thickening, before mixing with
water, tends to keep it from being
lumpy.

THE CONCRETE SILO.
Percentage of Failures Lee" Than in
Any Other Type,
Cement Is coming to be used more
and more for construction work on the
farm. This is only in keeping with
progress made In concrete construction
nloug other lines, A. great many ob-
jections are made to concrete as a suit-
able =aerie! for silo construction. Be-
eklo a unmber of others, the following
:ire Koine of the most common: Con-
crete wells allow mold and decay
:wound the walls, are affected by the
acid of silage, and they cannot be
built to keep them from cracking and
thus leak air. These statements, of
course, come from competing builders,
mostly stave silo people. Observation
of concrete and stave silos standing
side by side shows that the freezing is
no greater in one than the other. By
coating the walls with a ivash of neat
cement or tar pitch they can be made
perfectly- air, water and Held proof. if
properly re -enforced and made of suit-
able material they should not crack
any more than docs other concrete
work. There have been failures iu all
types of slion, but It is safe to say
that the percentage of failures is less
ht co:t,rete silos than in most other
types. That they are a success has
been demonstrated beyond n doubt by
those built not only in this state, but
other states as well. Silos or this type
are known to have been used success-
fully for eleven years without the least
sign of deterioration or loss of silage
through spoilage.
The common causes of failure in con-
cretl construction are, first, insufficient
re -enforcement; second, dirty sand and
gravel; third, too !eau a mixture or
lusuliicient amulet of cement used:
fourth, poor mixing of cement with
sand and gravel; fifth. poor placing of
mixture within the building forms:
sixth, washing out of, cement by ex-
cessive water.
BIG TREE MAiL STATION.
Renowned as the Oldest Postoffice
Building In America.
The pioneers of the northwest often
made use of huge trees hollowed oat
by' tire or decay. Some of these "tree
houses" they occupied as temporary
residences. 'Others they used as shel•
tors forstock or as primitive barns.
Only one, however, ever had the ,lis -
tinction of being a United States post-
othee. That stump is in Ciailam coun-
ty, in the state of Washington.
In early days the settlers were wide-
ly scattered. and it was a long jour-
ney over rough trails to the postoffice.
Carriers could do no more than leave
mail at some central point. The big
cedar stump, twelve feet in diameter
and reduced to a shed by tire, was a
base from which a number of trails
radiated.
By common consent it became the
postoffice for a wide region. The set-
tlers put on a roof of cedar shakes
and nailed boxes around its interior,
which they regarded as marked with
their names. There was a larger box
for the outgoing mail. There were no
Locks, but the mails were never tam-
pered with.
This primitive postoffice was used
for more than a year. It has been
carefully preserved and is annually
visited by hundreds of interested sight-
seers. The stump is believed to be
over 2,000 years old, which clearly es-
tablishes its right to the distinction of
being the oldest postoffice building in
America. -Youth's Companion.
GRANDEES OF SPAIN.
Etiquette of the Hat That Differen-
tiates the Three Ranks.
A grandee of Spain enjoys the priv-
ilege, granted him many hundreds of
years ago, of remaining "covered" in
the presence of his sovereign, This
custom dates from the period when,
according to the theory then held, the
king was "the first among equals."
The ancient formula always at the
t old
coronation of lh kings nes Spain o
was: "We, your equals. choose you
to reign over us." And the king as-
sented in this declaration of his nobles.
There was a time when alt grandees
of Spain wore their hats in the pres-
ence of the king, hilt in time the idea
of caste began to prevail, even among
the grandees, with the result that they
were eventually divided into three
classes, and these classes were distin-
guished by the hat etiquette.
The first class entered the royal pres-
ence covered; the second class entered
uncovered, and after an advance of a
feW steps, pet on their hats, unbidden
by the king, and the third elass also
entered uncovered, but did not "cover"
until requested, to de so by the king.
Then, according to the etiquette, "all
Vete equal,"
There have been grandees who mere
not Spaniards -notably the Duke of
Wellington, upon whom the costes con-
ferred the honor In reeogtlitten of hid
services to the state.-Exchariga

THE NATIONAL SPIRIT.
Christian Guardian: Goodwill is the
cement that holds:the world together.
You cannot build up anything upon a
foundation of hate and expect it to
stand. Germany has tried it and
has constructed cleverly and well, but
just as sure as the sun shines her
splendid fabric will fall about her
ears because she has failed to mix
with the motar of her purposings
one essential element. The nation's
life, just' as the individual's life, will be
strong and secure and enduring only as
it goes out in goodwill to others. The
nation that is living for itself alone is
daubing its foundation stones with un -
tempered mortar, and making sure the
way to its own weakening and over-
throw. This is not mere pious talk, it
is the solemn and impressive truth that
the whole course of human history has
made plain, and that recent tragic
events have blazoned on the sky for all
the nations to read. And it is the
truth which wet must heed and not
merely band over to others. Narrow
nationality will never build up and keep
strong any nation.
ZEPPELIN PUZZLERS.
At whatlfperiod in its life is a Zep-
pelin most interesting to us? At its
wreckage.
Why does a schoolmaster's cane re-
semble a Zeppelin? Because both
leave their mark on unfortified places.
What is the difference between the
Crown Prince and a Zeppelin? One is
the heir of a pirate and the other is the
pirate of the air.
Why does a Zeppelin resemble King
Herod? Because it compasses the
slaughter of the innocent.
Why is a German sausage like a Zep-
pelin? Because they have both been
known to kill.
What is the difference between a
Zeppelin and the Kaiser? One is the
biggest lien on air, and the other the
biggest Gar on earth.
Bacon rinds are good boiled with cab-
bage, string or soup beans.
