Crop contlitionls alone, they as- sert, etileuld wer:r'ant a spirit of .op- ti¢lirism even though the volume of war orders and the inerea'si'ng eup- ply of money were negligible influ- ences, which, of course, is not the ease. Current estimates place the 1915 wheat yield at 250,000,000 bushels, and ata market price of even $1,50 a basher, the value to the Dominion would be something like $375,000,- 000, The increased wealth of the 'Do- minion in oonsequenoe of the rais- ing of record cereal crops in 1915 combined with the wealth reverting to the Dominion from general trade expansion, will have a decidedly beneficial 'effect upon Canada's in- ternal comanerce and upon !the maintenance of this country's im- perial and foreign trade positions, "The Purchasing Power of the people will be enormously in- creased if the crop is as big as the authorities expect," declared is prominent Toronto banker. "It -`sill mean a great irepe,tus for the V,Test, which, after a two-year per- iod of retrenchment has adjusted itself almost to normal conditions, so far as values are ,concerned. There is no wild speculation going on there, but the ability of the fax - mer to lift his anortga.ges and buy much-needed implements and sup- plies will bring an a,bundanoe of money to ii•s in the east and will accelerate our' manufeetteries." Word from all .parts of the West is to the 'effect that a greatly in- creased acreage has been sown and that a big crop is expected. The Government has just issued a erop bulletin, showing thaut the condi- tion of the crops on May 1st was . exceptionally good. The figures show that there are 972,000 acres in Ontario and 215,000 acres in Al- berta under fall wheat, while the fall wheat ,sown in the other pro- vinces brings the total. up 'to 1,208,000 acres. The report also chows that more spring wheat was sown this year than in ,any previous year, while weather eondntions and an e.arlier season are very favor- able factors. Canads indoubtedly will have a largely increased acreage under crop this year, with a corresponding ;Increase in the Total Yield. Just what difference there is be- tween the ,actual yield and the pos- sible yield is •shown by comparing the average yield in Canada for a number of years with the average yield obtained at the experimental farms. A table indicating the average and possible yields follows: Average. Possible. Fall wheat 20.43 52, Spring wheat 14.84 33. Barley 16.15 69. Oats 36.30 91. Corn, grain 70. 200.

It is ,estimated that the increased use of fertilizers, intensive cuhltiva- tion, good seed, and in birief, bet- ter farrinig methods would result in increasing the value of Canada's crops in a :single year $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. p4 .U.S. Instruments in War Zone. Surgeons in European hospital's are using amachine for removing splinters of iron and steel from wounds incidental to the war. It is a magnetic machine that has met with great success in some of the indtrs:triiul plaints of Pittsburgh for' more than a year. The machine is really an electro- magnet. Four thousand watts are required for its operation, or enough power to supply 100 thirty- two. Dandle power Mazda lamps. It was neeessary to probe for a steel splinter before this machine was installed. The magnet removes such particles instantly and painlessly. One of the workmen at, East Pitts- burgh tried to drill one of his own teeth, •says,Dr. 0. A.. Daniffer. The drill brol ,'off about half a am inch front the 'end and' remained stuck in the cavity. It looked as if the only way to remove the drill would be to apull the tooth. Bat.the mag- netic netic machine drew out the drill instantly, , Answered.

Toe take purgatives is only to aggravate the trouble. Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills give new strength to weak (stomachs because they en- rich and petrify the blood supply, thus enabling the 'sto'mtach to di- gest food naturally. Almost from the first the appetite revives: then food can be taken Without pain and the burden .of indigestion dihsap- peers, The following case proves the truth of these 'statements. Mr, W. H. Silver, a well-known farmer living in the vicinity of Hemford, N.S., says: •"For upwardly of seven yeaste I was tortured with indiges- tion ; someltim'es, I wars iso bad that I would not 'taste a bit of hearty food, but would have to content myself with .a bit of stale bread. At tines I suffered excruciating pains in ,my stomach, and could hardly sheep ;at night. I tried veri- ' Dee pre eripti•ons, but got no. bene- fit from them and naturally I was in a very reduced state of health, I bad come to believe that I was doomed foe the balance of my life to this most constant torture, when I nead of a. case •similar to my own cured 'through the use of Dr. Wil; hams' Pink Pills. This gave me new courage, and 1 decided to try them. To make a long story short, the use of the Pills for a couple of months completely cured me. This is some two yeasts ago, and I have had no eeturn of the trouble, and am able to eat as hearty a meal. as anyone."

ONT. 911 .By the 'Pomata Route "Odi, dear, 1 wish 1 .could go on a mountain trip this summer," sighed Alice ahs she and her mother sat sewing carpets. "Why don't you try to ;earn some money," said her mother. "I've heard of girls raising chiekens and sling orbs,' things, to teal^n nzunley, "But, mother," said Alie"e, "yea know I could never earn enough money. ;Why, it would take almost $15, and besides, I' would want spending money.", "Well, it's up to you, suit your- self about it," said Relies, Miller as the left the room to get e pper. But her mother's words had i rade Alice see things in a different light, and the rest of the day she planned ways of earning money. Many plans presented themselves, but all were rejected. Finally .=die picked up -.a catalogue that had fallen off the book -stand, and was just 'going. to replace it when her • eyes were attracted by the words, "A girl's way of making money " Eagerly she read the item. It was about a poor girl who heel raised tomatoes and ;sold them, From half an acro ,of land 'she had cleared $25 in this way. Alice's eyes shone with joy when she finished reading the item. "Just what I can do," tshe ex- claimed, "that half acre of worn- out pasture will be just the thing! Til go and ask .father if I can use ie. Mr. Miller immediately gave his consent to hie daughter's plan and she went off very happy. The day fo•Idowing, after much planning and thinking, she decided to raise to- matoes. She had heard that they would be in .demand about the first of August, and made her plans ac- eordingly. For the next few days one of the hired men was busy manuring and .plowing the half etre of pasture under Alice's di- reobion. "She's got fanny ideas about raising tomatoes," he grumbled to Mr. Milder later. "I believe she has been reading that trash the experiment stations are giving out." A •week later Alice, proudly -sur- veyed her patch of ground Which she had just finished planting with the plants her father had given her. Patiently and faithfully Alice work- ed through the spring and part of the summer until at last .she was rewarded by seeing blossoms here and there on her tomato vines. By the last of July Alice was ready to begin harvesting her crop. Every afternoon she picked three o•r four bushels of ttomatoes and sold them in the city at fancy prices. *14 Cure WI re Corns Guaranteed Never known to fail; acts without pain do 24 hours.

The United States has gone• into the business of ".breeding" pearl ibutttons—at least that is ,what it amounts to. • A shorn time ago it was discover- ed that the mussel beds .cif the riv- ers and streams tributary to :she Mississippi, from the inhabitants of which we ;get the shells from which pearl ,buttons are macre, were giv- ing out. The government stepped in and established limitations to the dredging of mussels in certain streams. But this did not help,' A more careful scientific shtiudy Was made by biological experts em- ployed by the government. It re- sulted in the discovery of some in- teresting laces about the life his• (tory of the mussel. Among then, was that which proved that the diminution in the supply of .pearl - button material was not due to the baking out of mussels, but to the destruction of the fish in the waters. It was learned that in its early Magee of development the fresh- water mussel is a parasite, its, ex- istence depending larhge'Iy upon its ability to fasten itself to the gills or fins of a fish. Certain kinds of the eaulluisks attach themselves to a particular kind of fish. The "niggerbehad" mussel, for in- stance, one of .the most prolific and valuatele varieties, is parasite to red herring almost exclusively, and the ,partial extermination of this fish has had a material effect upon the natural reproduction of mus- sels. With this and similar information as a guide the bureau of fisheries has now estiublished a research laboratory a few miles from Mus- catine and has gone into the busi- ness of mussel farming, Very Dear.

Salutes and Salutations Daring the last few months we have grown so accustomed to see- ing the military salute given and returned as 'stare* to notice it. If we have a thought about the matter it is probably to the effect that a walk through the streets must be rather fatiguing to ;those in uniforms. Yet the soldier's salute has many advrant.ages over the less graceful. and definite forms of greeting tin u.se amooig eivilienis. The soldier has or ought to have, no qualms on the subject ; not only does he know whom to salute, but he is also: 'taught exactly how to de it. At a stated time he is to raise the right hand with a circu- lar movement to a stated ,spot, and after a seated interval he is to cut the iihand smartly away. The civilian has 'no :such straight and isimple path marked out for hi'm, but mush learn to greet his fellows as best he !can. Soave peo- phs never achieve anything but a frozen .glare of recognition; ethers compel themisejves to "grin horribly a. ghha•stly smile," but it is so me- chanical a contortion as to defeat its comparatively genial purpose. Others la:gasro begin wailing at such long range that when they come to close quarters their nod has prema- tueely .spent its force. A really good nod is one of the richest gifts of Nature. It diffuses so jolly and comfortable a glow that, if we spy the happy possessor in the distance, we 'cross the road just fer the pleasure of reeeti:ng him. But this is a rare ease, and we are more likely to plunge reck- lessly into a e.ab in order to avoid an lacquiainta•nce. There . are can- barrassments enough in the matter of nodding without mentioning our horrid doubts as to whether or not we 'shall be recognized. Yet those doubts will cause men tto pees each other with 'averted eyes, or with a jounty unconsciousness that never deceived anybody from the begin- ning of time. - WHEN DINNER COMES One Ought to Rave a Good Appe- tite. A good appetite is the best sauce. It goes a long way toward helping in the digestive proa:elsis, and that is absolutely essential to health and strength. Many persons have found that Grape -Nuts food is not only nour- ishing but is a great app.eitizer, and children like the taste of it and grow strong and rosy from its use. It is especially the . food to make a weak stomach :strong and create an appetite for dinner.

Too many cook;add to the high cost of living by not knowing that the way meats are cooked may add much to their cost. Nearly every cook knows that meats shrink in cooking, but not all of them are aware that boiled beef or broiled steak has more weight than a roast. An investigation has shown that 15 per cent. of the weight of the meat is lost when it is fried or steamed; in boiling, 20 per cent; in baking, 26 per cent; and in roasting 30 per cent. of the weight is lost. When you roast, broil or bake you may obtain the best results by having the intense heat combined with free action o" the hot air which approach- es the nearest to roasting before an open fire, which is what the makers of modern stoves aim for. When the meat has been in a hot oven for fifteen minutes allow another fifteen minutes for each pound of meat while it is cooking. If the meat is boiled, a longer time is necessary, and pork requires ample time. I Nora Scotia Cao Of Interest to Ml Women Halifax Sends Out a Message of Help to Many People. Halifax, N.S., Dec., 15.—When inter- viewed at her home at 194 Argyle St., Mrs. Haverstock was quite willing to talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case. "I was always 'blue' and depressed, felt weak, languid and utterly unfit for any work. My stomach was so disordered that I had no appetite. What I did eat disagreed. I suffered greatly from dizziness and sick head- ache and feared a nervous breakdown. Upon my druggist's recommendation I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills. "I felt better at once. Every day I improved. In six tveeks I was a well woman, cured completely after differ- ent physicians had failed to help me., It is for this reason that I strongly urge sufferers with stomach or diges- I tive troubles to use Dr. Hamilton's Pills. " Dr, Hamilton's Pills strengthen the stomach, improve digestion, strength- en the nerves and restore debilitated systems to health. By cleansing the blood of long-standing impurities, by bringing the system to a high point of vigor, they effectually chase away weariness, depression and disease.
