We owe to a German professor the momentous discovery that the ordinary human being has a commercial value. It has been supposed that if there is anything on earth entirely valueless it is the ordinary human being, but popular belief is once more shown to be wrong. The professor says that the average man contains fat worth $2.50, enough iron to make a nail, phosphorus enough for the heads of 2,200 matehes (the wood could be cut from his head), enough magnesium for some respect- able fireworks, albumen equal to a hun- dred eggs, a teaspoonful of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Altogether the aver- age man or woman is worth about $7.50 at current prices, and with advancing rates there is no knowing what ho might not go to. Obviously this un- developed wealth should attract the investor and the speculator, and some way should be fcund to make available for public use all this phosphorus, fat, magnesium, eggs, sugar, and salt. It has been too long true that "the good is oft interred with our bones," Signs of Kidney Trouble. In the early stages kidney troubles are known by backache and urinary disorders.

At Granville, in France,' is a family now represented by five generations. On Jaitnary 2t last Georgette Blin was Isom. Her mother is 18 years of age, Mme. Blin's mother, the child's grand- mother, is 37, while the grandmother's mother is 58, and the mother of this lady is now in her 79th year. USES OF CARBOLIC ACID. Many people are so afraid of carbolic acid that comparatively few know its medicinil virtues. In sufficient quanti- ties it is a deadly poison, and like am- monia, concentrated lye, and many other household necessities, it should be kept on a high shelf away from the reach of children and careless persons. Carbolic acid may be purchased in a small can in crystalized form, and in this form it is both safe and handy. A teaspoonful or two of the liquid acid added to the ordinary -sized foot - tub of warm water is an excellent remedy for frosted or tender feet; the relief is speedy and certain. A tablespoonful or more added to the summer bath is soothing and healing for heat irritation of the skin. For cuts and sores for man and beasts, there is no better ointment than mutton or beef tallow mixed with car- bolic acid -on part carbolic acid to four or more of the tallow; keep this in a covered tin can, and it is ready for any emergency. It will need to be warmed a little in cold weather. For cuts, sores, galled shoulders on stock, it is excel- lent. As a disinfectant and deodorizer, carbolic acid is indispensable about the 1 the house,poultry ou tr Y Y ards coops, nests and roosts. The crude acid has its value in many things, but for the medicine closet for the family, the better grade should be used. A few drops worked into vaseline is one of the best healing agents for ca- tarrh of the nose, and a few drops in a quart of water used through the nasal douche is wonderfully healing to the nasal passage. When people begin to talk falsely it is better to be quite silent and let them say what they please, till the sound of their own nonsense makes them asham- ed. -George MacDonald. WISE RATS. No single point better illustrates the sagacity of the rat, according to an article in McClure's than the way in which it eats an egg. It bites through the shell and chips off small fragments as neatly as a squirrel opens a nut, consumes the entire contents without spilling a drop, and then sits up and licks itself clean like a cat. Rats will steal the eggs from under a sitting hen. In Washington they carried off seventy- five dozen eggs which a commission merchant had incautiously stored in a wooden tub. Their method of handling eggs is also characteristic. An egg is as large for a rat as a barrel is for a man, and much more frakile. Yet there is evi- dence of the fact that they pass eggs along from one to another, although not, probably, as has often been re- ported, by forming long lines likea' bucket brigade. The operation is, nat- urally, a difficult one to observe, but apparently it takes two rats to each egg. One holds the egg in its paws, passes it to the other, and then runs ahead to take it once more in its turn. The same device seems to be employed to carry an egg downstairs; the one has the egg passing it to a companion, standing on the step below. Going up -stairs, however, at least in some cases, each rat puts its head be- tween its forepaws and pushes the egg up with its hind feet. Such appears to be the general procedure. Tales of rat caravans in which the smaller rodents lie on their backs with their freight clasped in all four paws, while the larger drag them along, tail over shoulder, and an old gray rat prodes up the laggards with a broom straw, are to be received with great caution.

Name Addre s TORTURED BY BILIOUSNESS AND TERRIBLE SICK HEADACHES Both Completely Cured by "Fruit-a-tives" DRESDEN, Ont, July 17th, 191o. "I was a dreadful sufferer for many years from Sick Headaches and Bilious- ness, or Torpid Liver. I tried many remedies and physicians, but nothing seemed to do me any good. I finally used "Fruit -a -fives" and after the first box, I was so much better that I con- tinued using these fruit tablets and they have entirely cured me. "I certainly can recommend "Fruit- a-tives" to anyone who suffers front Headaches, Biliousness or Stomach Trouble." MRS. ISAAC VANSICKLE. Thousands of people have bad the same experience as Mrs. Vansickle. They have tried doctors and taken alt sorts of medicine, only to find that " Fruit -a -lives " is the one and only remedy that actually cures these troubles. "Fruit -a -fives" is the only medicine in the world made of fruit juices, and is the greatest Liver Cure ever dis- covered. It acts directly on Liver, Kid n e y s and Skin -sweetens the stomach and purifies the blood. 5oc. a box, 6 for $2.5o, or trial size, 25c. At all dealers or from Fruit-a-tives Limited, Ottawa. Women Workers in Germany, One fact revealed by an exposition recently held in Germany, says a Euro- pean correspondent of The New York Post, is the enormous number of Ger- man women who, despite the national axiom that woman's place is in her home, have to work for a living outside their homes. In agriculture, 4,500,01)0 women are employed, and they do everything, from managing estates to ploughing. The Polish and Italian wo- men who accompany their husbands into Germany at harvest time and work in the fields by the side of the men, are probably not counted in this reckoning. In industry, 2,100,000 women are occu- pied. The garments trade provides work for 721,000 women, the textile industry for 528,000, the prepared - foods trade for 249,000. Altogether, it is calculated that, out of a total female population of 32,000,000, not less than 9,000,000 earn their own liv- ings. Of these, only 134,000 are home workers, mostly extremely ill -paid. There are 180,000 saleswomen and 120,- 000 clerks. In every branch except agriculture the increase in a single generation is enormous. In 1882, for instance, the women clerks numbered 5,000. DR. A. W.

Because Roderick M. Young, a com- mercial traveller of Hamilton, chose to take the risk to drive along the Gode rich and Saugeen load, in Bruce town- ship, county of Bruce, in stormy weath- er, the Division Court at Toronto threw mit his appeal from the judgment of Judge Barrett at Walkerton, dismiss- ing his claim for $500 damages against the township for injuries received when he fell down an embankment. The case has gone through a tremendous lot of litigation and has been before courts in Toronto and Walkerton many times, with the result that a heavy bill of costs has doubtlessly been piled up for the unsuccessful suitor to bear. The checkered history of this action would seem to substantiate Shakes- peare's oft -quoted utterance about bearing those ills we have rather than flying to others that we know not of. -Bruce Herald and Times.

The average man is apt to neglect his breeding ewes at the beginning of winter. Usually they are kept out too long. Their ability to pick close per- mits them to fill up on the frozen, In- uutritious herbage, and they look well when they really are losing flesh every day, writes E. P. Snyder in the Nation- al Stockman. They especially need shelter at this time. It often takes weeks to repair the loss of flesh and condition caused by one cold rain that soaks them to the skin, especially if the rain 'is fol- lowed by a high wind as it is quite apt to be at this inclement season. flay this season is scarce and un- usually high in price. Sheep will be largely wintered on straw, stalks and a range where one is available, supple- mented with a liberal allowance of grain, for hay is now selling at about the saute price per ton as ear corn. But it is mistaken economy to with- hold hay from the breeding ewes at the beginning of winter. A little good clover or mixed hay should be fed every day till they become accustomed to dry feed. They can much better be made to live on coarser and cheaper roughness later in the winter, when accustomed to dry feed. Many feed no grain to their breed- ing ewes till well toward spring. This is a mistake unless only a few are kept together incl they bare consider- able range or extra care and plenty of ;rood hay. Kept in flocks of consid- erable size there are usually some that are not as thrifty as they should be. They get thin in flesh and its soon as they get grain they -begin to thrive and a, the same time shed their wool. This gives the flock a disreputable ap- pearance and the wool a weak fiber that snakes it what buyers call "unde- sirable." I believe ewes can be as cheaply win- tered if a little grain is fed every day right from the start every year, and I know they can this year, taking into consideration the high price of hay. No stock seems to appreciate a va- riety of feed as much as the sheep. Frequent changes of both grain and roughness seem to interest them. It stimulates their appetites and hence induces to thrift. For grain we feed corn and oats of about equal bulk, salt regularly twice a week and have water accessible all the, time. Keep the Animals Thrifty. If the supply of corn will permit the milk cows should have a feed twice a day. The amount fed will depend upon the supply also. It is wonderful how just a little grain daily will make up for a scarcity of roughage. As the feeding season progresses and the young stock tire of the roughage ra- tion a small feed of grain night and morning two or three days a week will help wonderfully. To feed wheat straw put it through a cutting box, dampen and mix just a little grain therewith. This makes the straw more palatable, and wheat straw has some feeding value -a great value when there is nothing else -if it can be prepared in such a way that the ani- mals will eat it.

It is not working as well this session, and it is not likely that it will ever again work as it used to. There can be truth without ferocity, and there can be quite as much honesty of purpose in quiet- ness as in shouting& and violence. The Legislature, the private members, have been over -scolded. The one-man Gov- ernment may continue, but the one-man Legislature did not return from the general election. -Toronto Star. Danger In Frosted Feeds. Horses, as well us other animals, are liable to be affected by eating frosted grasses and cornstalks. In the horse these are likely to cause indigestion, and the food undergoes fermentation, causing gas to form, which results in wind colic, frequently causing death. The treatment for horses so affected is to give each one quart of raw lin- seed oil and two drams fluid extract of belladonna at a dose and also to give one ounce aromatic spirits of ammonia in a pint of cold water at a dose every half hour until the animal is relieved. Injections of warm water and soap are useful. Frosted or musty feeds are in jurious to horses even if they do not cause indigestion and colic and should never be fed. WORMS TMT EAT IRON. A feasible explanation of the disesoe whish attacks old metal coins is en.g- gested by the recent discovery of some Italian engineers of a microbe which feeds on iron. The discovery was made through the frequency with which rail- way accidents occurred in one particu- lar portion of the railroad in a curtain district. An examination of the rails was. made and the presence of severe corro- sion was revealed. A rail was taken up and broken. It was found to be hollow, and further examination allow- ed the presence of a thin, grey, thread- like worm, about a third of an inch in length. A careful examination was made of the habits and appearance of this worm. Upon its head it carried two little glands filled with a corrosive secretion which it ejected every few minutes on the iron. The ejection bad the prop- erty of rendering the iron soft ana ,spongy, when the worm at once pro- ceeded to devour it. -Chicago Tribune. ess Experiments conducted by the Agri- cultural Experiment Station of Ne- braska have shown, says a press bul- letin issued by that institution, that corn and alfalfa will form the most profitable ration for fattening hogs. The cost per 1011 lbs of gain in these experiments varied from $3.60 for bogs fed three parts corn to one part chop- ped alfalfa, to $4.34 for those fed three parts corn and one part shorts, and $5.59 per 100 lbs. gain for those fed one part corn and one part shorts. +4-1-1 <4-F * 41*44++++' +++4.4. ++++++44++4W444444++++++++. 7' ++. 4* The Times + + + '1' +Clubbing+dist ... + + + ' + .p ++ Times and Weekly Globe . 1,60 + a + Times and Daily Globe 4,50 Times and Family Herald and Weekly Star.... 1.85 Times and Toronto Weekly Sun 1,75 Times and Toronto Daily Star 2.30 Times and Toronto Daily News, 2.30 Times and Daily Mail and Empire. 4.60 Times and Weekly Mail and Empire 1,60 Times and Farmers' Advocate 2.35 Times and Canadian Farm (weekly) .1,60 Times and Farm and Dairy 1 80 Times and Winnipeg Weekly free Press..... 1.60 Times and Daily Advertiser 2.85 Times and London Advertiser (weekly), ........ 1,60 Times and London Daily Free Press Mein') g Edition 3.50 Evening Edition 2 90 Times and Montreal Daily Witness 3.50 Times and Montreal Weekly Witness 1M5 Times and World Wide 2 25 Times and Western Home Monthly, Winnipeg..,:. 1.60 Times and Presbyterian 2.25 Times and Westminster 2,25 Times, Presbyterian and Westminster 3 25 Times and Toronto Saturday Night . 3 40 Times and Busy Man's Magazine 7.10 Times and Home Journal, Toronto 1.75 Times and Youth's Companion .... 2,90 Times and Northern Messenger 1,35 Times and Daily World ............ 3.10 Times and Canadian Magazine (monthly) ...... 2.90 Times and Canadian Pictorial I.60 Times and Lippincott's Magazine 2.15 Times and Woman's Home Companion 2 CC Times and Delineator 2,40 Times. and Cosmopolitan 2.30 Times and Strand 2.50 Times and Success 2.45 Times and McClure's Magazine 2,60 Times and Munsay's Magazine 2,55 Times and Designer 1.55 Times and Everybody's 2 40 + + + + + + + 4. + + + + •s + .+ + + + + + + • + + ,.I. .1. + + These prices + Britain.
