ELLIOTT, PunusnER AND PDOPIETOR. THURSDAY JULY 11. 1912. WHY 00 GIRLS LEAVE THE FARM? HISTORY OF C. P. R.. Twenty-six years ago on June 28, the first transcontinental train of the C. P. R. left Dalhousie station, Mon' - real, for the Pacific Coast. The west- ern terminus was then Port Moody, which was shortly after changed to Vancouver, and the eastern terminus of the road was Montreal, and not St. John, N. B., as it is to -day. During the interval marvellous changes have taken place in the growth of the com- pany, as well as in the development of the country. At that time there were many who despaired of the future of the C. P. R., and imagined that the attempt of Canada to build a railway across the continent was an act of supreme folly. Labouchere's Truth in England poured forth a sad tale of woe and called it a "bubble", which would soon be pricked, and expressed a doubt about its completion. The country which it was to traverse, was entirely barren and forbidding, and, it is said, amongst other things, "fifty railways would not galvanize it into prosperity." History tells altogether a different tale. In 1886 the mileage controlled by the C. P. R. amounted to 4,815 miles. To- day it is over 10,000 miles -and still steadily increasing. The company had no steamships in 1886; to -day there are about 75 in commission, sailing on the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific, on the great lakes and in the inland waters of British Columbia. In 1886 the locomotives numbered 336 as against 1,845 in 1912; there were 7,835 freight cars in 1886, and there are 62,488 to -day, with large orders for both kinds of equipment. And so it is with the sleepers and diners and parlor and first-class passenger cars. In each there is an equally marked increase. Its observation ears have even invaded Austria, where they are operated on the State railway of that country. The earnings, too, show a remark- able growth. In 1886 the gross earn- ings amounted to $8,368,493, and the net earnings to $3,225,217, After twenty-six years the gross earnings have grown to over $120,000,000, and the net earnings to over $40,000,000. The following editorial from Cana- dian Home Journal, which is probably in closer touch than any other maga- zine with the majority of Canadian women, gives one potent reason for this constant movement of our country girls to the city: "We wonder when our farmers will open their eyes to the injustice which they have so often shown to their daughters. Again and again we read paragraphs deploring the fact that so many girls are forsaking the farm for work in the city. What is the reason? In the majority of cases, we believe that it lies, not in youthful unrest, not in a longing for city amusements, but in a protest against the paternal policy which denies a proper allowance to the daughters of the household. It is all very web to say that our great grand- mothers did a great deal more work than their descendants of to -day, and that the farmer's daughter of several generations ago was thankful for a roof over her head and the simplest gowns. Our great grandfather, also, worked harder than the modern farmer, who would not dream of using the antiquat- ed implements of sixty years ago. "The son of the farm is usually treated, with much more consideration than the daughter, in the matter of money. The old distrust of woman's business capacity dies hard. The way to remove feminine ignorance is not to refuse to give woman an opportunity to learn the ways of the business world. If a father would take his daughter into his confidence in business matters, and encourage her to have her own bank account, with a view to invest- ment, there would be fewer mistakes made by mature women in the manage- ment of their affairs. A certain wo- man who has been most successful in looking after her own business, remark- ed to her lawyer: "I owe a great deal to my father, who' talked to me in my girlhood about his farm and his invest- ments, giving me advice which I have never forgotten. He believed that every woman should know something of business affairs and be encouraged to have her own account.' "It has often been said that we can- not learn by the advice of others, that it is necessary to make mistakes of one's own before wisdom is practically attained. This is only partly true. We may not hope to escape blunders and their consequences, but many dis- asters have been averted by the re- membrance of wise counsel. If the farmer wishes to keel his daughter at home, and it is an infinitely better place for her than office, let him treat her as an industrial equal, show that he values her work and give her the benefit of his own hard-won exper- ience." During the summer months mothers of young children should watch for any unnatural looseness of the bowels. When given prompt attention at this j time serious trouble may he avoided.

The salient features of the crop re- ports from all over the province of Alberta are the universally splendid growth made in every district follow- ing the recent timely rain and the in- creased acreage under cultivation. Given propitious weather during the next two months there should be a re- cord crop in Alberta. Both in the north and south Spring wheat is heading out, and has reached a growth varying from 8 to 24 inches. Had Indigestion, Sour Stomach and Severe Headaches FOR OVER A YEAR ft. W.

There were 23 delegates in at- tendance. In the absence of Taro. R,. Elliott, District Chairman, Bro. D. M. Gordon occupied the chair. Bro. A. 11. Musgrove acted as secretary. The auditors, Bros. H. D. Henderson and Jno. Burgess, presented their report showing balance from their last audit of $21,44, receipts from Courts $25, payments $25.50, Ieaving a balance of $20.94 to meet accounts. The Foresters' Demonstration held here on Friday last was a grand success in every particular. The crowd was the largest that has been in Wingham for a long time, at least 5,000 people being in town on that day. The weath- er was all that could be desired and everything passed off in first-class style. At nine o'clock a, m., the base- ball match between Wingham and St. Helens was witnessed by a Iarge num- ber, the Wingham boys were a little too good players for the visiting team, the game resulting in favor of Wing - ham by a score of 12 to 4 runs. At 11 o'clock the firemen gave an exhibition run on the main street. At 1 o'clock the Foresters' procession, headed by the Wingham, Kincardine and Listowel bands and the Palmerston and Wing - ham lacrosse teams, took place. It would be no exaggeration to say it was the largest ever seen in Canada. LOCAL NEWS. Mr. Geo. A. Newton, who has pur- chased the Ambler harness business, removed his wife and family to town last week from. Londesboro. A number from town attended the concert given in Biuevale on Tuesday evening last, by the Presbyterian Sun- day school, of that place. The lawn social given on the grounds of Mr. F. G. Sperling by the Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church, was a grand success. The attendance was very large. The programme consisted of selections by the band, orchestra, duetts, recitations, etc. Refreshments were served in good style. During the week Mr. D. Stewart shipped per G. T. R. to Montreal, two car loads of export cattle, which were pronounced by those who saw them, as one of the choicest lots ever forwarded from these parts. A cab load of young people from Blyth attended the lawn social on the grounds of Mr. F. G. Sperling on Tues- day evening Iast. A Word of Gratitude. "In justice to humanity 1 want to tell you that I was a great sufferer from itching piles, and have found Dr. Chase's Ointment the best treatment obtainable," writes Mr. Fred Hinz, Brodhagen, Ont. It gives instant re- lief and I can recommend it to any suf- ferer from this dreadful disease." HOW TO KEEP YOUNG. There is a popular theory that to keep young you must act silly, laugh immoderately at nothing, jump about, and to make yourself generally ridicu- lous. There is quite a cult in America making a practice of that theory. They say that they do such foolish things to keep young. But such a method, or thoughtless leek of method, would certainly give sensible people the impression that women are quite idiotic, whereas women should be logi- cal and sensible. Youthfulness is entirely a condition of the mind. The heart that is willing to do good and help others, the mind that is too busy with kind thoughts to think unkind ones, the spirit that trusts human nature, are all youthful. What causes women to get set in body is getting set in mind. Some good people grow narrow-minded and prud- ish. That generally comes from living in one place too long. Travelling is a great rejuvenator. Everyone knows that seeing other countries and cities, becoming interest- ed in things and persons, makes one live more, which is forgetting self. When people forget themselves and their own grievances they let time Ry while they stand still. At the entrance examination held here last week, there were 27 pupils wrote from Wingham public school and 39 from outside. At the public school leaving examination 10 wrote from Wingham and one from outside. J. Howton, M. A., Clinton, and A. H. Musgrove, were the presiding examin- ers. We understand that there is to be a football match on the park to -morrow evening between Wingham and Brus- sels teams.

HAPPINESS AT HOME. Heaven bless the man who remains at home at night. There are worse faults than a stay-at-home. "I love my home at night," says one man. "When I get there it is easy clothes, a long cigar and a good old read for me." "Home at nights for me," says an- other man. "It is the only time I have to get acquainted with my family. I romp with the kiddies, help put them to bed and have big times. After that the old lady," with a sly wink, "and I have a talk. It's a fine end to the day." "We go out occassionally, my wife and I" announced a thilcd man, "but we would both rather be at home. A business man who is away from his family all day is Iucky to be able to stay at home; there's no place like it after all." That is one side of the slate, and thank God it is pretty full. The other side does not look so encouraging. I thought of this the other night when at a late hour with a party of freinds I waited on a corner for a street ear. Two young men came along the street and they were talking loudly. I caught sight of the face of one man and reconized him. From where we stood I watched the progress of the two men for several blocks and saw them turn down towards the Alex- andra street district. Then did my heart turn wild with anger. I knew that young man had been a most ardent wooer of a young and charming Vancouver girl; that she is now one of the most dainty of matrons. I knew that man had a baby daughter and a delightful home, And yet there he was at midnight wending his way towards a street he should have shun- ned. My friends joked at my silence, but I could not tell them why I was quiet. I could hot enterfnto their mirth and light talk, my heart was to sore. I was thinking of the wife and baby who were alone while the husband and father neglected them. And since that night I have had a new respect, and honored more than I ever did, the man who stays at home at night. God bless him. -Ex. Women who are up and doing early in the morning keep young and lovely. The complexions of women and girls become fresh and rosy when they work in the early morning. You will notice that some children are old before they are out of their teens -old in laziness. , No one who is active will grow old. Have we not seen the man old in years but young in mind and actions? People should play -play tennis or basketball, play anything out of doors, where you are obliged to ran about, perspire, and get tired. But keep up the playing. Laugh at the passing years. Let no day go by without exer- cise of same sort. Stretching the body, rolling, climbing upstairs, all may be taken as good, healthy exercise. Above all, think youth and youthful looks will he the reward. Do not al- low the ribs to sag; never stoop to such an age. It is so easy to be lazy and give in to any little indisposition. If you do you wilt be prematurely old, but if you do not you will never be old. Some women it at home and take no fresh air; others go out every day into the ail; walk a few blocks, breathe deeply, and renew their vitality and pouth. No woman can be young if she be- gins to Count the years. And to re- member dates is fatal, We are just as young or just es old t4s we decide to be. • dke sot riff* rtes°y� ' s i, Piiee aurgfoal aeon* le Y 37r.

This letter from Mrs, Martin 'very well describes the terrible condition in which many a sufferer finds her- self. She also tells how she regain- ed health and strength by using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food after all other treatments had failed. Mrs, Edwin Martin, Ayer's Cliff, Que., writes: "Before I began using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I was in a terrible condition from nervous ex- haustion and prostration. Dizzy spells would come over me and I would fall to the floor. The weakness was so great that I could not so much as sweep the floor without fainting, but the nerve food helped me after the doctors failed. It has done wonders in building up my nervous system. I can do my own housework now and washing, and feel that this great medicine has been a God- send to me, I think it is the best of medicines."

Stearns, 'Jesus went about all Galilee teach - in in their synagogues, and preacli- fi the gospel of the kingdom, and .fling all manner of sickness and ail tuner of disease among the people." 4noluted with the Holy Ghost and itb power, Ile went about doing good id healing all that were oppressed of he devil, for God was with Him" Salt, iv. 23; MIs z. 3S1.

After dam lost the dominion by listening u the devil, handing the dominion ver to him and thus bringing sin id the curse upon our race and the arttl, God began to reveal by type nd plain statement a Redeemer and a denlptlou and a restoration of all int was lost by stn. The Redeemer first uieutieued as the seed of the woman, the redemptlou is set forth In tie sacrifice which provided the coats f skins. and the restoration is seen u the cherubim (den. III, 15, 21, 24). ;ler it was revealed that the Ro- emer would be the seed of Abraham, uta Ing a spertai people on earth called senel. the twelve tribes from the zvvelve sons of Jacob, and that through bent 1411 nationv would be blessed. Mill inter It was revealed to David hat the Lord's anointed would pro- ceed from 1lltn, sit upon His throne Ind reign forever, and to Him give alt he prophets witness. Matthew's gee - lel opens with a statement concerning Jesus Christ. the Son of David, the Son of Abraham, the one In whom all the promises would be fulfilled.
