When you tall the doctor his first question refers to the condition of the bowel's, and his first medicine is intended to ensure the activity of these organs. Whether you have a cold or appendicitis, kidney disease or rheu- matism, there are poisons in the system which must be removed, and which would not have lingered to cause trouble if the bowels had been healthful and active. For this reason we claim that the First and 1VIost Important Rule of Health is "Daily. Movement of the Bowels.” If the bowels can be kept in healthful action at all times there is little need for either doctor or medicines, and about nine -tenths of the annoying and dangerous ills of life are avoided. The ideal sorreetivo treatment for the bowels is Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. Not only because of their promptness of action, but also because they immediately arouse the sluggish liver, and by so doing cure constipa- tion. The bile which is filtered from the blood by an active liver is Nature's\ cathartic, so if you can keep the liver right there will be no sluggishness in t action of the bowels. Keep the liver and kidneys hes by and active by using Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills and you will prevent. and cure constipation, and thereby avoid a multitude of ills.

THE PURE SEED CAMPAIGN Year by year the importance of pure seed is being more and more recogniz- ed. Anything therefore of a helpful nature bearing on the subject is wel- come, but when results are forthcoming from widespread and actively pursued experience then we have something on which every farmer, every grain grow- er, everybody interested in agriculture or in any kind of soil production. should possess a knowledge. Of such charac- ter.is the Report of the Dominion Seed Commissioner for 1914, which has just been issued, and which can le had free lyy making application to the Publica- tions 13ranch, Department of Agrricul'- ture, Ottawa. The work of the Seed Branch; the Commissioner, Mr. George H. Clark, tells us falls naturally into three main parts -seed growing, seed testing and seed inspection. Seed growingincludes educational and other work directed to- wards encouraging the prodnctirn ar,d use of better seed. For this purpose financial and other assistance is render- ed by the Dominion towards conducting field crop competitions, seed fairs aid p rovincial seed exhibitions, A state- ment of the amounts eart,kd by the provinces under this heading in 1918 -14 is as follows: Prince Edward Island, $900.19; Nova Scotia, $1,742.11; .New Brunsv.Jek, $1,051.06; Quebec, $4,522.27; Ontari' , $9,390 42; Manitoba, 0.2,292.87; Saskatchewan, $2,717.5.2; Alberta, $2,- 658,98 and British Columbia, 81,0dtt, making a total of $28,285.52. Apart from these subventions, the Branch is rendering service in many ways. In- formation has been secured in regard to the purity and germination of seed grain being used by farmers. Other problems in relation to seed prcduet;l,n, such as weed seed tante nt of et.ii mous different systems of cultivation, rued the disposition, wend Aced content. at feeding value of terminal elev:.be screenings, are being investigated. • Seed testing involves the analysis of samples which are sent to the, labora- tories at Ottawa and Calgary by seed merchants and farmers and investiga tion'by experiment. Seed inspection inveolves the enforce- ment of the law governing the sale of seed, the visiting of seed merchants and farmers and the furnishing of in- formation regarding the Seed Control Act. For . this work the •permanent district officers are assisted by tempor- ary inspectors.who are employed during the busy season of the seed trade. The Commissioner is able to announce that with very few exceptions, seed dealers, both wholesale and retail. are doing their best to conduct business in con- formity with the Act, and that there has been a marked improvement in the -trade and a gradual decrease in the violations in proportion to the number of dealers and farmers whose .seed has been inspected. The Report supplies a comprehensive summary of information obtained by inquiry regarding the wheat, oats, barley and flax being used for seed in Canada; rt;views of the corn situation and timothy seed production and full details, with tables of results, of seed testing operations.

For the first time in "a number of years eggs have taken- a prominent plat e in Canada's export trade. This is leegely dee to the unprecedented de- mand for eggs on the part of the British market and the fact that British deal- ers have shown a marked preference for Canadian eggs ever United States eggs and a willingness to pay adistinct- ly higher price for them. So great in fact has been the demand that Canadian dealers have shipped practically all of the available Canadian storage product to the Oid Country.. As a result there is not in Canada at the present time, sufrieient eggs in storage to supply home consumption until tresh THE WINGHAM T1MES THE THREE CURSES Morphine, Cocaine, and Alcohol -and the worse of these is Alcohol.

It goes on to say, "0f the various habit forming drugs alcohol stands out as pre-eminently the greatest universal curse to humanity and has practically no redeeming fed. tures, In the light of modern know- ledge alcohol which once occupied a prominent place in the treatment of diseases becoming snore and more dis- credited every year. The role played by this drug in lowering our resisting power to disease; in the lowering of efficiency and in the actual production of organic disease of the liver, kidneys, heart, arteries and nervous system as we pointed out in our February issue is such as to: make it essentially a problem of preventive medicine and one demand- ing immediate action by administrators of Public Health. This arch enemy of man -kind is accom- plishing its devastating influence by a duel action. In the first place through the economic effects on the home di- minishing as it does and at times entire- ly cutting off the revenue of the home, Even the moderate drinker, who , takes it glass or two of beer or whiskey his way home from work, robs his vife or family of the equivalent of a loaf or two of bread or a quart of milk, a family which at its best with a full in- come has probably only enough to keep soul and body together. Pneumonia Fatal to Alcoholics. -The lowering of their vitality and resisting power consequently predisposes them to disease. The alcoholics themselves have much less resistingpowers to disease than have the abstainers. This is espec- ially true in pneumonia and blood pois- oning. The heavy drinker who contracts pneumonia should not lose an hour in settling his affairs, as he will in all prob- ability be unconscious with delirium within twenty-four or forty-eight hours from the time his disease is diagnosed. In the second place, we have the in- fluence of alcohol on the drinkers force- fully presented by life insurance com- panies. Statistic's prepared by R. H. Moore, Actuary of the United Kingdom Temperance and General Insurance Com- pany shows that the death rate among -moderate drinkers was35%higher than among abstainers. English Insurance Cambanies found by their statistics runnin'over 40 years that abstainers have a death rate of e3p6 less than non -abstainers. In. 1892 Mr. DiIlen Gouge, Public Actuary in South Australia, found that the non - abstainers had alm est double the amount of sickness that the abstainers had." Let every one "do his bit" in spread- ing these truths. I3 Arnott, M B., M.C.P.S. receipts in appreciable quantities begin to come in. Quantities of eggs from the United States, however, are being imported into Canada, some in bond for export, but the larger part to take the place of the Canadian product exported.

Kulture is a word that has become familiar since the beginning of the war in Europe. Germany defended the war by saying that it was necessary to ex- tend its Kultur to all the world. At first it was assumed that Kultur was identical with culture, and many who admired German literature and scholar- ship were quite prepared to admit that the spread of German. culture to all neopies might be a good thing. But it is only now beginning to be underst that Kultur does not mean cultunt, but the distinctive German spirit and methods of life. It means the death of democracy and the extension of govern- ment control to the tninutest features social life. It means the abolition of private choice and initiative, and the subjection of ail personal aims to c)articipation in a nationlil purpose and th. means of executing it. It means that order of things which has made Germany the best prepared military oaten in the world and enabled the ierinan Government to inelude all the )riv(:te resources of the nation in its nilitrrr operations.

The law in Kansas prohibits women from few liberties than men enjoy. Because of many requests for information about the Kansas laws for women, 5. M. Brewster, attorney -general, has ' pre- pared the following list of things women can do in Kansas: Can take back her maiden name after her husband is dead without any legal process or legislative act. Can keep her own name when she is married, Can persuade her husband to take her name and give up his family name if she does not like D. Can retain her maiden name for busi- ness transactions, and use her husband's name for social affairs. If a wife does not like either her own or husband's name, they can ,change to a name that does suit. A woman can wear men's clothing without any restriction except that she must pose as a man. She can vote every election. She can hold any office in the State and run for Congress. She can hold property of her own and give her share of the family property by will, but cannot deed her share away. She can take up a homestead or school lands as her own property.

It takes the sane number of mcnths and days for a mare to produce a colt from a pure-hred stallion of excellent quality as -it does for her to produce one from a scrub or a cross -bred stallion. It requires just the same equipn)e • of buildings, Just the same care, and Dot the same feed, to raise the scrub colt to full maturity as it does to raise the high-grade coat from a pure-bred stallion to the same age and weight. Throughout their active lives the same facts hold; in fact, the high-grade colt from the pure-bred stallion will require a little less feed than hilt inferior rival of the same age and weight because one of the eauses of his superiority is his greater efficiency- in digesting and i t assimilating the food which is given I him and turning it into flesh and farce, ; or energy. And when it comes to t'e'll ing the two on the market, the colt with the pure-bred sire will bring many more dollars than will .thea one with a scrub or cross -bred sire. In view e;: all these well recognised facto, it is hard to understand why there are so many scrub and low-grade stallions being used as then: are. It is • 't good business to breed a good farru mare to a high-grade pure-bred sir,', no matter what the breed may be, so 1+ conforms to the type of the mare which is being bred to him - because his cults p bring their owneri' r n a dad Margin o 1,"(. k nrot t over and above the caet of pro. clueing' thyro, whether the';, or.. :stud kept foss use on the }lathe' enrol. if Cal .

SELECTING TOMATO BEEQ. All tomato plants produce branches which bear perfect (lowers. Though the tomato plant is largely, self fertile, estpe- elally when grown in the open air. there Is always more or less mixing of varieties when the pit is aro grown closes together. The selections of your own seed Is a simple matter: fielect plants that are (deld in vigor, freedom from disease, production and (diameter of fruit. practically all the tomatoes from each plant thus selected may be saved, only fruits that happen to be inferior being discarded. Inasmuch as not all plants possess equal powers lu trans- mitting their qualities, it is de- sirable to keep the seed fron. each plant in a separate pack- age and then to plant the con- tents of the packages in sepa- rate lots next year. This will give you an oppor- tunity to lodge the best stock. An excellent plan Is to conduct a tris( test of about twenty-five plants front each dot of seed. > You will not thiel it much trou- ble to weigh and even to count the tomatoes from each lot of plants. The results will justify the work involved. 4d tatallHN<"wei4 :latatrike"s+tz4:'tji,s'' 344+, ,c u SEAWEED AS FERTILIZER. How It Can Be Used to the Best Ad- vantage. In general the use of seaweed as a fertilizer is a good Investment, says a contributor to the Country Gentileman, On sandy soils it may merely be plow- ed under, but in general it is prefer- able to compost it. Seaweed varies considerably In anal. ysis, according to species, but all kinds contain a high percentage of moisture and more potash thau do soft structure land plants. The kelp spe- eies in particular carry much potash. The disadvantage of applying large quantities of seaweed to farm land lies in the possibility or injury to some crops through the chlorine In the salt that adheres to the weed and in the aeidity•that may be developed through decomposition of masses of the weed. The weed should be spread on the land as far ahead of crop planting as possible to permit or the chlorine's be- ing carried off by drainage. An appli- cation of lime will remedy both the acidity and the 111 effects of the chlo- rine. Much larger applications of the .seaweed can be made on sandy soils than on heavy soils or on those not well brained. Plowing under leguminous crops If they are of the deep rooted species, like clover and alfalfa, will malutain soil fertility. The uodnles on the roots will collect nitrogen from the air, and the deep roots will bring up potash and phosphoric acid from the subsoil. But lime should be applied occasion- ally to prevent any acidity that may develop as the result of decomposition of masses of green growths. At inter - veils of seven to ten years it would also be advisable to apply phosphorus in the form • of ground bones, slag or raw phosphate rock.
