t THIS is but a. frau/neat of a very interesting letter
received by the Zam•Bukk Co. front Mrs. 13. Gossett, of
Joggin Bridge, Digby Co., N.S. Tho letter continues :.
'f When tho soros first broke out I called. in a dector; but his treatment did
no good., I tried salves and lotions and wash• s of all kinds, but the sores
still spread. Tho disease finally beanie so bad that the child's fee and
shoulder were completely covered with sores. Imagine the pain the poor child
(not a year old) had to suffer 1 •
"One day a friend advised me to try Zam•Buk. I did not have mu.;h faith
at that time that Z.ttn-Buk would he able to work a cure, but as there could bo
no harm in trying it, I obtained a supply. - At that time the disease had defied all
remedies I had tried for over a year. By the time I had tried one box of
Zam•Buk there was a -marked improvement. I continued the Zam I3uk
treatment and day by day the soros showed signs of improvement, until the
eczema was confined to the child's shoulder, oue tore on which had been
particularly deep. By th:grecs this, also, was healed, and filially Zam-Bok
banished every trace of the disease.
"I have waited several months before mentioning this
case to you, in order to sco if there Has any return of the
eczema. There has not boon any return ; tho euro being
permanent, and there is no scar or trace of the disease
from which the child suffered so long. You may publish
this information if you wish, so that every another may
know the value of Zam.Bnit."

Underdrainage — Reason Why.
Underdraining promotes filtration
of water and so renders the soil more
porous.
Underdrainage -facilitates thorough
cultivation.
Excess water is rapidly carried off
through the drains.
The soil, when drained, quickly
dries, and in drying contracts. When
it becomes wet again it expands, and
the alternate contraction and expan-
sion so caused separates the particles
of soil from one another, and thereby
makes it loose, friable and more easily
worked.
Underdrainage warms soils by les-
sening evaporation. When land is
well underdrained most of its surface
water is carried off in the drains, and
as a consequence, the amount left to
be carried off by evaporation is great-
ly lessened. Hence, as evaporation is
always accompanied by a lowering of
temperature, the soil of well -drained
land will not be so much cooled in con-
sequence of evaporation as the soil of
undrained land.
Drainage prevents the baking of the
surface soil by carrying off the water
by filtration. If the surface water is
carried off by evaporation mainly,
the fine mud occasioned by the stand-
ing water becomes hardened as it
dries, and breaks into cracks. •

TU1; Tt1REE.FiFT1iS CLAUSE
(Hamilton Spectator.)
The only point, apparently, on
which Mr. Rowell differs froom Sir
James Whitney, is in respect to the
three•iiftbs requirement in local op-
tion contests. That the cry against
the three-fifths clause ie merely a
political trick is evident from the fact
that the same stand was taken by the
Hon. A, G. MacKay, who was nether
a prohibitionist nor a total abstainer.
It is further tobe remembered that
the referendum for which the Rose
government was responsible, was un-
der a heavier handicap than a three-
fifths requirement. The vote on that
occasion (Dec. 4, 1902) was ;—For
prohibition, 154,974 ; against, 84,742.
The people of Ontario showed that
they were nearly two to one for pro-
hibition, and yet they did not get it,
because the affirmative vote did not
reach 212,723—a majority of the
number of votes cast in the preceding
provincial election.
The three-fifths requirement is con-
stantly gaining ground among tem-
perance people. In the drat place, it.
is inherently reasonable. There is no
trouble in enforcing laws against rob-
bery or murder, because there human
law rests upon the universal human
conscience. On the liquor question
there is no such unanimity, a large
element in the community, and a very
respectable one, still clinging to the
ideas of a past generation. It is gen-
erally agreed by all who know much
of the science of government that
sumptuary laws, dealing the men's
personal habits, or laws which, for
moral reasons interfere with vested
interests, ought not to be passed un-
less sustained by a great preponder-
ance of public opinion. The desire of
the Whitney government to be per-
fectly fair in this matter was shown
in the provision that any local option
by-law passed by a three-fiftbs mas
jority could only be •repealed by a
like majority. The practical effect of
this enactment is that, when the
liquor men are beaten anywhere, they
throw up the sponge and leave the
field. Beaten by a simple majority,
they would hold. on in the hope 'of
overturning it three years later.
Beaten by a three-fifths majority,
they would have the surplus of 10 per
cent, to overcome, and then another
10 per cent to make up. Usually they
regard the task as hopeless.
While adhering to the three-fifths
clause, sincerely believing that in the
,long run it will prove helpful to the
temperance cause, the Whitney gov-
ernment has done things which surely
ought to be regarded as more than
offsetting any fancied grievance on
this score. It has disassociated the
liquor traffic from the machinery of
party politics. It has terminated the
system of granting licenses only to
men professing loyalty to the party
in power and contributing liberally to
the party cheat. There is now no
winking at violations of law if the
offender has political influence `and
uses it the right way. A body of pro-
vincial detectives has been organized,
with instructions to enforce the law
anywhere and everywhere without
fear or favor, and their good work
has elicited the praise of temperance
conventions. It is not now possible
for a municipal council to block ` the
option by-law, as after a 25 per cent.
petition has been 'signed such sub-
mission (and, if carried, the third
reading) are compulsory. Probably
the extension of local option territory
has been as much advanced by this
one enactment alone as it has been
retarded by the three-fifths require-
ment. And technical objections to a
local option by-law have been swept
away by a provision that, when it is
clearly the will of the people that the
liquor traffic shall cease, the local
commissioners shall cease to issue
licenses. •
What more could a prudent and
statesmanlike administration do to
favor the temperance cause, and en-
sure that the progress of prohibition
shall be commensurate with mature
and deliberate public sentiment 1' Far
better is the state of things today in
Ontario'than in Maine.

• "DADDY'S GIRL"
Are you one of the hundreds who
have written to The Globe for a copy
of "Daddy's Girl"? This is probably,
without a single•exception, the most
popular picture ever published in Ous
nada.
A few years ago The Christmas
Globe published a limited number of
them. The demand was so great that
every copy was ordered before it was
put on the market.
A sample copy of this picture wh'eb
is from a photograph of a child w th
the sweetest and most expressive face
that can be imagined, may be seen at
this office.
To see it is to want it..
This beautiful picture will be given
free with each new subscription or re-
newal sent in for the Weekly Globe
and Canada Farmer before December
31, 1911. •
Remember the edition • of this pit..
ture is limited, and the firet come the
first served. •
The Weekly Globe and Canada
Farmer bas been enlarged, the staff of
writers increased, and many new fea-
tures have been added. Those im-
provements are in keeping with the
progressive management that has
made The Daily Globe one of the first
half-dozen newspapers on tbe con-
tinent. The Weekly Globe and Cana-
da Farmer, with its Illustrated Maga-
zine Section, has always held a fore-
most place among the metropolitan
weeklies in Canada. It will now be
classed with the best on the continent.
When the Illustrated Magazine Sec-
tion. with its forty or fifty pictures of
current events every week, is taken
into account, it is certainly a lot of
reading to be given for only one dol-
lar per year.
For Egg Production.
The Irish Homestead reports that
two pens of birds were fed on similar
food, with the exception that one pen
received in addition a teaspoonful of
mustard daily. This pen returned 532
eggs during a given period as against
289 for the pen fed without the must-
ard. There is no doubt that mustard
does serve as a valuable stimulant in
egg production.
Fingers Before Forks
For thousands of years fingers took
the place of forks, In fact, forks are
comparatively a modern invention.
They first came into use among the
Italian aristocracy about four hundred
years ago: When Queen Elizabeth
came to the throne in 1558, no forks
had ever been used in England. Soon
after she was crowned, she had forks
introduced into her court banquets.
Her courtiers vied with each other as
to who should present the Queen with
the most highly ornamented forks.
The great Queen regarded these forks
merely as beautiful ornaments, rarely
putting them to actual use. The fork
that really found service was a two -
tined steel affair with wooden handles,
and they were yet in general use at
the beginning of the nineteenth cen-
tury, when they were displaced by
three -tined steel forks, and lately
silver ones. One of Queen Elizabeth's
Wallops said forks were an invention
of the Devil, and insulted God by
making His creatures "too good to
touch their food with their fingers,"
