RHEUMATISM?

Crofton, B. C.—"I was troubled for
years with inflammatory rheumatism
and rheum atic
fever. I tried sev-
eral

rhe) .cures f u
rheumatism, but
did not receive
any benefit from

had been in the
hospital for
months, being un-
able to walk. A
friend advised me
to try Dr. Pierce's
Anuric Tablets.
.After taking the first bottle I began
to improve, and after taking six
bottles I had no more rheumatism.
I think Dr. Pierce's Anuric is the
most wonderful medicine that any
one can take for rheumatism. 1

We frequently hear the word "sod -
bound" applied to grass areas, when
people are discussing the $allure of
pastures. The meaning that the word
sod -bound Is intended to convey is
that there are too many plants, to
each square foot of ares, Snell con-
dition is rarely true, Pastures sel-
dom fail because of too many plants
or over population, but they do .fail
through the exhaustion of the avail-
able plant food supplY. The plough-
ing up of old sod laude, thereby eaus-
lug the mots and stems to decay,.
brings about increased available
Plant food, and this followed by re-
seeding, while effective, is very ex-
pensive. It is cheaper and usually
better practice to adopt methods of
turt improvement. It takps years to
develop a t;ood sod, so why destroy
by inverting it with the plough. when
surface applications of availabte
plant food will make such profitably
productive. To those who may think
that the "sod -bound" condition eau -
not be remedied by any practice oth-
er than ploughing and reseeding, 1.
would suggest that they stake off a

to it either one pound of nitrate of
soda or a wheelbarrow load of stable
manure. Conviction guaranteed.—

People are realizing that the kid-

be flushed occasionally, The kid-
neys are an eliminative organ and
are constantly working, separating
the poisons from the blood. Uric
acid backs up into the system, caus-
ing rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy
and many other serious disturbances.
This can be avoided by stimulating
the kidneys to increased action, and

HIS SEXTON'S SUGGESTION.
It Was Meant to Be Sarcastic, but R
Hit Dr. Hata Just Right,
The sexton of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from. that convenient
form of deafness that prevents a man
from hearing what be does not wish to
hear and enables him to hear what he
does wish to hear. Occasionally when
sweeping the sidewalk .in front of the
,church some stranger would ask him
for information, and his usual answer
%vas a wave of the band. "I'm totally
deaf, totally deaf. Yon will have to
ask some one in the church."
It often happened that Dr. Hale in
the midst of a busy day would find the
luncheon hour at band and an impor-
tant appointment still unmet. It was
his custom to invite his caller into his
study and ask the janitress to make an
oyster stew. The sexton resented Dr
Hale's informality..
The time came for a new sib to be
placed on the front of the church, and
Dr. Hale and the assistant pastor were
standing in the vestry aisle discussing
just- what the wording of it should be.
To their surprise the conversation was
suddenly interrupted by the deaf sex-
ton, who stood far enough away to
make doubtful the ability of a normal
person's overhearing what had been
said. "I'11 tell you what to put on that
sign!" he exclaimed. "Come in! Ev-
erybody welcome! Meals served at all
hours of the day and night!"
"Ali right." said Dr. Hale quickly.
"That's what we will do. I've always
wanted to call this church the Exeter
club!'
Power of Big Guns.
it is not easy to understand what
the power of a gun really is—its. pene-
trating and destructive power.,. What
we call a fifteen iuchgun, which means
one whose muzzle or hollow part is
fifteen inches in diameter, will hurl. a
shell right through a plate or wall of -
the hardest steel twelve inches thick
seven miles from the muzzle. The
power of the very largest land guns
ever made, the German .howitzers ' or
10.5 inch guns, is such that one of their
missiles cracks open . a steel and con-
crete fort as if it were a nut: Eopular
Bove' Pasture Plants Grow.
The ability of grasses to with-
stand continued pasturing is due to
the fact that the leaves are being
Pushed up or grow from the lower
or attached end. Nibble off or cut oft
the upper portion of the grass leaves
:tad the leaves will lengthen again
and again so long as there is warmth,
food and moisture. With the clover
Plant it is different. If this type et
plant is cut or eaten off new buds
;trust form, unfold and );row into
stella bud and leaf. Clovers if pas-
tured will not yield in feed more
than a fraction of what such would
produce if the plants were permitted
to develop fully. The fact that the
bitten blades of grasses will push uP
high enough after a few days to
produce .a second and a third bite
nhakes it passible to pasture grasses
with no injury to them. With rea-
sonable care and management the
grazing of grass areas may go on in-
definitely.—L. Stevenson.

Good Pasturage Cheap Stock Food.
One of the cheapest live stock foods
is good pasturage. Good yields of this
cannot be secured unless the land is
kept in good condition.
A generous top dressing with good
barnyard manure .applied in the fall,
winter, or early spring is re-
commended. This top dressing should
be distributed evenly and not too
thickly. If bunchy, it play be thinned
out by harrowing which sometimes
helps to stimulate the growth.
Thin spots in the pasture should
recoive a new seeding of g:ass. The
use of a mixture of six pounds of
timothy, two pc.:%nds of red clover
and one pound of aisike clover to the
acre will give geed resuits. Where
there is a part'., stand of grass, p. s•
sibly not more tarn one-half of this
quantity is needed. Only the thin
spots will require treat...reat.
Alternate freezing and thawieg and
the early spring rains will were Abe
seed into the soil and result in quick
growth. Let the grass get a good
start before the stock is turned in.
Nothing so depletes the annual yield
of pasturage as to overstock it at
the beginning of the season.

Good Treatment of Beef Calf Pays.
The most profitable beef animal is
the one that has the capacity to eat
and manufacture into beef the great-
est amount of feed, and not the one
that can subsist on the least and
poorest ration.
There are thousands of young beef
cattle that can eat plenty of feed, but
'many of them are not able to manu-
facture much beef out of it, largely
because their• growth was stunted,
their vitality weakened, and their
beefy conformation lost through lack
of proper and sufficient feed when
they were calves.

Red Spiders.
The red spider does a considerable
amount of damage to garden crops
at this time of the year, during the.
dry, hot weather. These mites feed
principally on the underside of the
leaves, causing the foliage to lose.
their color, having a whitish, bleach-
ed
appearance,and the plants be-
conte stunted. The damage is done
to the plants by the mites sucking
`the` juices. This troublesome pest is
easily controlled by the free use of
cold water applied under pressure,
directing the spray to the underside.
ofthe leaves. If the water Is not
effective, the sulphur -soap solution is
made up in the following manner:
Flowers of sulphur, one ounce;
laundry soap„ two ounces; water, one
gallon. Dissolve the soap in the
water and then add the sulphur and
apply to the mites.

CARELESSNESS with matches, cigarette butts, cigar ends, pipe
ashes, camp fires, fly smudges, railway locomotives, slash -burn-
ing operations—human carelessness of some kind accounts for
97% of the forest fires which every year add further devastation to the
'northern areas of this province.
DON'T
DON'T take arty chances with
fire in Ontario's forests.
DON'T throw away cigar-
ette or cigar butts, pipe
"heels" er burnt matches
until 'yea aro dead sure
- they are .st.
DON'T neglect to drown out
your fir* with lots of
water.
DON'T build your camp fire
against a rotten ,:log or
stump; ear' .on windy
points; nor near moss
patches; neer at the base
of a tree.
Build.it in a former fire
place, or on a flat rock, or
on a spat cleared down to
the true soil ,below, or by
the edge of, the water.
DON'T forget that the upper
layer of ground in the
forest consists of partial-
ly' rotted wood which will
burn.
Here are typical cases picked at random from
last year's Fire Rangers' reports:
The rangers on the Ombabika to Fort Hope canoe
route in thefar north on July 4th found an area 10
miles long by 4 miles wide which had been swept by
fire since their previous trip. A camp fire^ lefton a
portage was the cause.
A prospector on the Montreal River started a fire
on July .7th"which burned over 4,800 acres in Baden
Township, destroying 1,000,000 feet of pine and 9,000
cords of pulpwood; •and which required attention for
a month.
A party of fishermen camped on Porcupine Lake,
Burton Township, Parry Sound, were responsible for
a fire on July 10th, which burned over 25,000 acres and
2,000,000 feet of timber,. •
Indians smoking moose meat started a fire on Jerrie
26th, which ran through 1,700 acres of young jack
pine trees.
Careless trappers on May 7th caused a fire in Head
Township, which burned over 2,280 acres, half of it
young 'white pine.
The best way to fight forest fires is to prevent them.
