lured Fifteen Years Ago
of Piles and Eczema
� y Using Dr. Chase's Ointment -Certifies That the Cure
Wes Permanent.
,tome people have tried so many
doctors and so many treatments in
*keir search for cure for piles and
/eczema that they
Sad it difficult to
'believe there is an
actual cure.
The strong point
about Dr. Chase's
Ointment is that it
not only brings re-
lief promptly, but
&rings about actual
and lasting cure.
In 1897 Mr.
Xetcheson, 88
Douro street, Pet-
erboro', Ont., wrote
as follows or I was IMTCHESON'
troubled for thirty
years with itching piles and eczema. I
+Would not sleep .at night, and when I
got warm the itching was terrible.
Fczema covered my legs down to the
knees, perfectlyraw. I have tried
every preparation I could hear of.
Seeing Dr, Chase's Ointment adver-
tised, I procured a. box, and this Oint-
ment effected a complete cure."
On Sept, 28, 1912, Mr. Ketcheson
wrote as follows: -"I received a letter
from you to -day, saying that you found
on file a statement made by me 16
years ago. I have always given Dr.
Chase's Ointment a good name since
it cured me, and shall tell you how I
came to use it.
"I: had suffered for many years from
eczema and piles, and had tried doc-
tors and everything I could hear of in
vain. Reading about Dr. Chase's Oint-
ment, I purchased it at once, and was
soon completely cured. That was fif-
teen years ago, so there can be no
doubt of the cure being a permanent
one. I have met a great many people
who ha' a been cured by Dr. Chase's
Ointment."

ENGLAND AT HER BEST.
[New York Herald. j
It is an axiom that the Englishman
always rises to the. greatest heights
when his country is in its worst straits.
History shows that the kingdom has
always had to go through the most
severe trial before it found itself.
What is happening now is, only on a
larger scale, multiplied manifold, the
repetition of history. Men may glibly
talk about Great Britain not doing her
full duty to her allies. But when one
considers that her navy has given the
Allies unlimited command of the sea
when command of the sea for
Germany weuld have lost the war
to them long ago, when one considers
the stern resolve with which the British
nation is facing this great burden of
debt, the account must appear as stand-
ing very evenly balanced.

PROHIBITION DURING WAR.
What is the significance of the
attitude of the governments towards
the deputation from the Dominion
Alliance which recently appealed before
them asking for the prohibition of the
retail Gale of liquor during the, war?
Some people seem to think the reply of
of the. government was satisfactory.
The Premier said that the question of
the liquor traffic had beery a matter of
absorbing attention to him and his
government for the last six months.
, "We will earnestly strive," said the
' Premier, "to reach the wisest and best
conclusion, The License Commission,
in addition to the exercise of its
executive function, is now enquiring
into the whole question and will, no
I doubt, make suggestions to the govern-
ment and act in an advisory capacity "
Those who are not satisfied with this
statement say that nat only is it very
indefinite, whereas the deputation asked
for a specific object;' but the effect of
the government's reply may be in the
nature of - a sedative to allow the
government still further delay in the
matter and which will help to keep the
people contented in the meantime even
without action. -"
The view which seems to be most
reasonable for temperance people is
that, while they are pleased that the
government's reply is favorable as far
as it goes, in that it affirms their con-
cern for the question, the real lesson
from the incident is that now is the
time for public opinion against the
liquor traffic to be alert, to organize
itself and to present its claims strongly
to the governn:ent while they are in, a
mood perhaps to listen to it.

CURED
[Richmond Times-Dispiftch.].
There lived a tired person once,
Who never liked the things he had,
Who thought each friend of his a dunce,
That his life chances were all bad,
While life's amusing tricks and stunts
Just made him sad -just made him
sad.
Herailed at friend and foe alike,
Sneered et the colors of the skies.
When joy abounded, went on strike;
Loved to abuse and criticize;
In fact, as he toiled down life's pike.
He watered it from weeping eyes.
Unto this symphony in woe
A brutal friend was forced to say:
"How is it that you never know
How you bora folks who come your
way?
Yourliver's what afflicts you so;
Go getit cured -you'll find 'twill pay."
The shock this sage adviser gave
Was fruitfulof benign effect.
The liver treatment worked to save,
Nor did the former grouch object,
But brightened up, no more a slave
To all the griefs he could collect
Therefore to others like this wight,
Who feel that life has not been fair,
We here commend the method bright
By which one found escape from care:
"Go get your livers fixed up right
And all your woes may disappear."

The Great Kidney Remedy
I'IAaEasviLLg, OxT., Aug. 26th, 1913.
"About two years ago, I found my
health in a very bad state. NY Kidneys
were not doing their work and I was all
run 'tic down in condition. d1 n. (saving seen
`Fruit-a-tives' advertised, I decided to
try them. Their action was mild, and
the result all that could be expected.
My Kidneys resumed their normal
action after 1 had taken upwards of a
dozen boxes and I regainedtnyo1d-tines

CLEAN UP.
Sometimes we may feel as reckless re-
garding germs as did the small boy
raised on a sterilized ration, bathed in
sterlized water, and kept in a sterilized
atmosphere, who declared that 'when he
grew up he was going to "eat a germ".
but just the same we must show
sufficient fear for the germs that swarm
in and about the chicken house to get
rid of all we can before they wage war
on the crop of 1915. Birds suffering
from. tuberculosis may discharge the
bacilli with their droppings, from open
lesions on the skin, or from the nose
and mouth. Birds suffering with roup
may discharge the bacilli in the drink-
ing water from the nose and mouth.
Birds suffering with white diarrhoea
poison the feeding ground. The only
way we can keep this season's flock
healthy is by the prevention of disease,
and that means simply to clean up.
Clean up the chicken house by brushing
down the cobwebs, washing the windows
and whitewashing the furnishings and
the house itself, Clean up the floor by
thoroughly disinfecting and the use of
fresh gravel. Clean up the poultry
yard by plowing or spading and disin-
fecting with well -slaked lime, or better,
by growing a green crop.
Burn all dead chickens, nest material,
and mite infested boxes. Destroy the
droppings froth the roosts, or put in a
covered box until they can be carried
to the field. Scald and disinfect the
drinking vessels and boards. Do not
allow wet mashes to stand; remove
what the chickens don't eat in fifteen
minutes.
If the Summer's work is so strenuous
that the chicken house can not be pro-
perly looked after, better let the
chickens perch in the trees rather than
roost in a germ -ridden house. -Prairie
Farm and Home.
Uric Acid Suffering.
Uric acid is an accumulation of poison
which finds lodgment in the system
when the kidneys fail to remove it from
the blood. In the kidneys and bladder
it forms stones, in the joints and
muscles it causes rheumatism. In any
case the pain anal suffering is almost
beyond human efidurance. Uric acid is
promptly removed from the system
when the kidneys are kept healthy and
active by using Dr. Chase's Kidney -
Liver Pills.
THE BUSINESS OF MARRIAGE
It is just because poverty and its
woes are straining and women feel
them more than men, that they are
desirous of seeing to it that they and
their.kin shall marry into affluence.
It has been said that woman is
more avaricious than man. This may
be so, but, woman's greed is seldom
based on selfishness. "Woman," it
has been truly said, "lives in the
regions of the affections and the emo-
tions."
With some mothers the desire to see
their daughters married to rich men
become3 an obsession. In a case where
the daughter really and truly loves the
rich man and not his money, and the
rich man is a worthy man and a desir-
able partner for her, there is no rea-
son in the world why she should not
marry and be happy,.if she maintains
high ideals and does not turn out an
idler. 'But she must not run away with
the idea that she would be any happier
than if the man she loves and weds
were merely enjoying a fairly comfort-
able salary, or that with brains enough
and ability enough, he is able to suc-
ceed, though at the first he must strug-
gle along against many adverse con.
ditions.
Turn the picture around and present
the man's side of it. A young man of
modest means wants to marry. His
salary may be so small that he does not
feel justified in asking any young wom-
an to share it with him, He comes to
the belief that if he is to marry at all
he must marry money. Perhaps he ap.
reciates. the fact that p h t this is making a
pretty sordid business of matrimony
and perhaps he doesn't. -'Woman's
World for October.
ir(urad. .
During the election it will of course,
be absurd to talk ab +ut a trace or an
alliance.. You cannot expect that two
politicians who hammer one another on
Tuesday night will be found speaking
on the same side on Wednesday night.
There must be either friendship or
hostilit.M e a
, Men n c nnot be pulling to-
gether at one moment and pull against
each other the next. The inevitable
r suit of holding the election will be
that the public men of Canada will be
t- inl.ing of the party confbct Minis-
ters, instead of fighting for the life of
Canada, will to fighting for their own
political lives. Leading men on the
opposite tide will be engaged in the
same conflict. There will be a waste
of energy through friction.
But that is not all. 9fter the elec-
tion it will be very difficult to restore
the friendly relations which now exist,
and are growing stronger every day.
Fiery speeches made during the cam-
paign will leave resentment and bitter-
ness behind. The politicians will feel
that as the truce has been once
broken they are under no obligation to
renew it. Harmony once destroyed
may never be restored.

DEATH CO AND FLY CAP.
The Most Deadly of All Species of
Poisonous Mushrooms.
The two most feared and deadly
poisonous mushrooms the world over
are the death cap (Amanita phalloides)
and the fly cap (Amanita muscaria).
These two species in the same genus
have destroyed several emperors, 'a
pope and probably average 500 deaths
annually in various parts of the world,
to say nothing of innumerable mam-
mals, birds, reptiles and insects, the
latter being almost wholly destroyed
by poisonous fungi.
Of the two deadly species. muscaria
Is most easily detected by the layman.
It Is a large, shol'y mushroom, orange
yellow in color. with what looks like
warts over the cap. You see them
in dooryards, where evergreens are
growing, sometimes thousands of them,
standing up. tall and splendid in the
grass. Keep your hens in the hen -
yard and your cow in the barn while
these fellows are up, with their tempt-
ing appearance.
The species Amanita phalloides can
readily be avoided. Whatever the color
of the cap, white or gray, the under
side of it, the gills. are pure white. The
cap may or may not be covered with
warty protuberance. The stem ter-
minates in a bulb. usually wholly or
partially beneath the soil. If a large,
deep chunk of earth is taken out
around. the built invariably will be
found setting in a cup. Handle a
poisonous mushroom ns freely as you
like, but do not experiment with one
at the table. There are other species,
both in the amanita genus and that of
lepiota, that closely resemble it and
which may be deliciously edible. You
cannot learn these differences from the
books. Only an expert, with the sev-
eral fresh species in hand, can teach
you such differences. -New York Press,

LARGE PROFITS IN NUTS.

ity, Should Bring Excellent Returns.
No laud Is so poor, stony and billy;

varieties of foreign edible nuts, says
Emil Gammeter of Akron, 0„ an au•

Probably no other field of undevel-
oped natural resources in all the wide
domain of diversified production of.
Pers richer and happier results than
does nut culture. Ethical and educe•
tional institutions are rapidly assum•
Ing a share in planting and growing
nut trees.
The advantage of nut raising over
other forms of recreation or business
at the present time rests in the fact
PERSIAN WALNUT TREE.
that one can hardly avoid doing new
and constructive work in any part of
the field. One then becomes a public
benefactor, wittingly or unwittingly,
notwithstanding the fact that stock
companies for producing just one of
the hickories -the pecan -offer at the
present time one of the very best of
financial investments when such invest-
ments are made carefully, and large pri-
vate capital is being invested in nut or-
chards. Our imports of nuts rose from
$1,700,000 worth in 1500 to $7,300,000
worth in 1007. No one eau foretell the
magnitude of the new field, but it is
pretty safe to say that America could
not only have raised most of the $7,-
000,000 worth o .nuts that were im-
ported in 1907,'Tut could have export-
ed outs to the tune of the same harp.
The increased demand for nuts is
due in the main to two causes -name-
ly. a better appreciation of their ap-
petizing qualities and the numerous
ways in which they form a palatable
addition to the diet for the average
family, and, second, to their use by
the •vegetarians and persons of similar
belief -a group small in proportion to
the total population. hut still fairly
large numerically -who use peanuts,
etc., as a substitute for meat and other
nitrogenous and fatty foods.
Almost any kind of nut trees will
grow iu this climate, but not all kinds
can be grown profitably, so why not
improve and cultivate such of our well
known varieties that we are sure will
yield abundantly? No nut excels the
shellback hickory in flavor and rich-
ness, and they will always bring a
good market price and a premium for
selections. ,
Black walnuts and butternuts can
be easily grown by planting the nuts
where trees are wanted or can be suc-
cessfully transplanted. They are use-
ful for shade and also ornamental.
English filberts or hazelnuts succeed
well on almost any kind of soil. The
larger varieties are sweet and much in
demand by candy manufacturers. The
purple variety are frequently used as
an ornamental shrub and for hedging.
The best method of propagating the
so called English walnut, which is
properly known as the Persian walnut,
says a contributor Cothe Country Gen-
tleman, is either by the cleft graft in
sap wood at the time the buds are
starting, or by the annular er patch
budding process during the growing
season in July or August. These meth-
ods are also apparently the most suc-
cessful in propagating the $ecan.
Details of these processes, except
ring budding, are given in bulletin 254
of the bureau of plant industry, depart-
ment of agriculture, Washington.
It is probable that certain varieties
of Persian walnuts and pecans may be
used successfully on black walnuts and
hickories, although it is not safe to
attempt very extensive planting in any
district ' where peaches also are not
fairly dependable. In other words, the
success of peaches is a better Index
of the probable success of the Persian
walnut than is the success of hickories
or black walnuts.
Same' planters follow the practice o!
betting rows of hardy English walnuts
and pecans with the purpose of top
grafting them a few years later with
better varieties Which may then be
areliable. . --

VINDICATION OF THE CANADIAN
HEN.
It is a remarkable fact that in past
years Canada has imported more poul-
try and eggs than it has exported, and
this despite the fact that the produc-
tion of these commodities within its
borders has constantly been increasing
The reason, of course, is that Canada's
consumption of chickens and eggs has
been increasing correspondingly. In the
matter of eggs alone. individual fond-
ness for this food is seen by the returns
to have increased in twenty years more
than 50 percent. Some recent remarks
critical of the Canadian hen and her
contribution to national food needs
have called forth an array of figures
which show that, like her sister across
the border she is really acquitting her-
self well, as, for instance, in bringing
up the production of eggs in the Dom-
inion from over 64,000,000 dozens in
1895 to over 123,000,000 dozens in 1915.

HOLE BORED THROUGH HAIR.
A Baltimore, M. D., watchmaker re-

of drilling a microscopic hole through -a
human hair and threading it with a
minute strand of silk, remarks Popular
Mechanics. As nearly as it was pos-
sible to determine, the hole is apprcxi-
matelS• 1-3,6011 inch in diameter. The
feat was accomplished in an hour,
during which time four hairs were
broken in unsuccessful attempts at the
work. The hair was stretched taut
between two pins and over a white
ground covering a working block. It
was also pressed to the block with a
pair of hairspring tweezers to prevent
it from rolling. The point of the finest
needle obtainable was ground down un-
til it was,, a mere nothing and then
placed in a jeweler's pin vise to enable
