ANn PRO I£'rea. J THURSDAY JULY 18. 1912; MEETING HOT WEATHER. 'meters of a one per cent. solution of ;quinine and urea hydrochloride are distributed over the nerve supply of the part concerned. The affect of I such injection is to produce a total loss of the sensation of pam. Popularly speaking the affected part is put to sleep. Exposure to the direct rays of the sun is not the only cause of heat pros- tration. Old people and chronic inval- ids sometimes suffer from heat stroke while sitting quietly in a shaded room, and tiny babies are great sufferers in a long hot spell. There is danger when- ever intense heat is accompanied by great humidity, and a stagnant atmos- phere —espeeially to those who sleep in poorly ventilated rooms, to those who are in feeble health, and to those who are intemperate. If everybody would scrupulously ob- serve the rules ohygiene, says a phy- sician writing in Youth's Companion, and so arrange his work that he could rest absolutely in the middle of the day; there would be little danger from heat to persons of good health and strength. The body does not need much meat or stimulating food of any kind, and the great profusion of fresh freits and vegetables should make the question of the table a simple one. Plenty of cool, but not ice-cold water should be taken, for it helps to keep the blood pure, the circulation free and the skin active. The activity of the skin indeed is the most important thing of all, for people who are perspiring freely do not stand in great danger from the heat. Thus those who can take Turkish baths are wise to do so, for the excessive perspiration they produce keeps the system in condition to withstand the heat. Many find it difficult to sleep well in very hot weather, Let such persons discard the warm feather pillow for a water -bottle, partly filled with cold water from the faucet, and they will find themselves rewarded by many an extra hour of refreshing sleep. Finally, do not be panic-stricken when hot weather comes, but remem- ber that the summer, if encountered with ordinary common sense, is a time favorable to storing health rather than to losing it, BANISHES PAIN. The abolition of pain resulting from injury or operation is promised if the new anaesthetic process described in The London Lancet fulfills its discover- er's claims, D". V. W. Forbes Ross makes the announcement in The Lancet, and from the fact that it receives publicity he that conservative publication, the claim of Dr -Ross may be considered to have received orthodox approval. Moreover Dr. Forbes has met the pro- fessional requirements by giving his discovery to the public. Speaking of the new bean to humani- ty Dr. Ross said: — "What I wish to make known is the discovery of the wide application of a. prolonged local anaesthetic of incal- culable value to humanity. I know and I wish the world to know how to kill pain following the severest bodily injury from accident or during and af- ter the severest surgical operation. "By the use of this enaesthetie it is possible to -day for a surgeon to guar- antee to a patient freedom from pain after an accident or following an oper- ation. I have found an absolutely ° home. CANADA'S POULTRY INDUSTRY. During the past session of the Do- minion Parliament, Mr. A. G. Gilbert, poultry manager at the Central Ex- perimental Farm, gave evidence before the select standing committee on agri- culture and colonization on the de- velopment of the poultry industry. This evidence, which includes an address followed by questions put to Mr. Gilbert and answered by him, has been printed in pamphlet form for public distribution. The subject is dealt with under the following heads: The value of the poultry industry, how the industry is tending, the attitude of the farmer towards it, and the form of development best ealeulated to help the farmer. It is clearly shown that the demand for eggs in Canada has increased much more rapidly than the supply during recent years. In 1902 we exported to Great Britain, eggs to the value of $1,733,242; nine years later, the ex- ports had fallen to less than a value of twenty-five thousand dollars while the imports in 1911 reached a value ap- proaching half a million dollars. It is pointed out that farmers are not taking full advantage of the high prices offered for strictly new laid eggs at all seasons of the year. The good profits from these are being secured chiefly by specialists who are often at the dis- advantage of having to pay retail prices for feed. Much useful information is contained in this pamphlet which may be procured from the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Signe of Hidney Trouble. In the early stages kidney troubles are known by backache and urinary disord- ers. Later come dropsy, rheumatic pains, and perhaps diabetes. But don't wait for these. Dr. Chase's Kidney - Liver Pills will help you in a few hours. Their thorough action on the liver, kid- neys and bowels will clear away the pains and aches and make you well again. SAD AND SERIOUS. Young man, do you ever sitdown and think seriously for a minute at a time? You may he well now, and earning good wages, but how much are you saving? Are you waiting anxiously for pay day? If sickness should overtake you, have you enough money to keep you in enforced idleness for a month with- out going into a debt you may never pay? This is a sad thought but the most solemn warning may not cause you to thinkseriously until it is forever too late. The thoughtless reader will put this down as a fogey idea, and laugh at the writer, but we know fora fact that far too many take no thought of the future. Young girl, are yon not doing a fooI- ish thing to tie yourself down to a life of misery with a young man who does- n't know enough to make provssion for a rainy day? Are you not partly to blame for giving foolish young men encouragement in their foolishness? Do you want to marry a young man and take him to your parents' home the first time he meets with an accident, or hap- pens to be laid up through sickness of any kind? Don't if you value your fut- ure happiness, chase after the young man who has some "go" in him.

The . t ,tae work of the new St. Paul's church has been commenced. On Tuesday last the Wingham foot- ball club drove over to Dunganeon to play with the team of that place, which resulted in a draw. The members of the L.O.L., No. 794, Wingham, attended divine service in lSt Paul's Church on Sunday last, The lodge is a large one there being nearly 100 tnembers in the procession. The promenade concert and sale of work, held in the Temperance Hall on Thursday evening under the auspices of the Ladles' Guild of St. Paul's Church, was a grand success, LOCAL NEWS. On Tuesday last the tow n was about deserted as nearly everyone spent the 12th at Kincardine. The Orangemen of town, nccompenied by the bard? were there. On Saturday morning last after a long and painful illness, Mr. Alexander Mitchell passtd to his reward. De- ceased was in his 73th year, and was the father of Mrs. A, Nicholls, of this place. The funeral took place on Mon- day afternoon from his late residence to the Wingham cemetery for inter- ment. The bereaved wife and family have the sympathy of the whole com- munity. The Misses Rush are having their premises on Josephine street greatly improved by having new sills put under it. Mr. A.

Length of Life of Alfalfa. It is the long life of the alfalfa that makes it of so much value to the farm- er. It is found that by comparing the reports from different fields that the average life, regardless of existing dif- ferences inmetbods of seeding, cultiv- ation, cropping, etc. is 10.7 years. The age of the oldest field found in Ontario is 25 years, this being on the farm of James Douglas, Caledonia. The follow- ing table gives a classification of 55 fields according to ages: 14 fields were over 6 years and under 9 years. 24 fields were over8 years and under 12 years. 8 fields were over 11 years and under 15 years. 7 fields were over 14 years and under 1? years. 2 fields were over 17 years and under. We see from this table that the most prevalent age is from 8 to 12 years.— R. Schuyler, in O. A C. Review. A Lnmberman's °pluton. "I was troubled with palpitation of the heart and sleeplessness." writes Mr. Wm, Pritchard, Lumber Inspector, Lumsden Mins, Ont., "acd used Dr. Chase's Nerve Food with very great benefit, as my whole system was strengthened andbuiltup." Dr. Chase's Nerve Food forms new, rich blood and restores the feeble, wasted terve cell!. Birds and Insects. The birds destroy enoranous gaanti- tiesofinsects. A ccr-servativeestifnate of the nnmber consumed by each indi,ri dual itsectivorcus bird is one hundred a day. The figures for Massachusetts alone illustrate What birds can do. A care- fultStilate gives inset D!a D birds to the sere, making a total of at !east 25 6001009 f o or the tate. �, �, The e , E birds uconsume daily, between the first ofifiay and the end of September, 2,560,000,000 insects or *MOO bushels of them. The tote for the iteaeon is *bout 36C,1100,- , t►0t ,000 insects, or 3,000.000 bushels. If this bird pop -elation could be increased one bird to the tete, it wtwid mean the destruction of 66000 more bushels of insects during the We months. Can vire therefore afford to sacrifice the life of even one of these indttatriotis servants? Pruning the Appendix What thousands of people are rush- ed to the hospitals these days with the idea that pruning the appendix will rid them of the cause and effect of wrong habits of eating and living,. We eat too much, take too Iittle outdoor exercise, breathe impure air, and when the system gets loaded with foul impurities, which irritate the digestive system'and sat up intlamma. tion, we are told that the operating table is the only place for us. Why not prevent appendicitis, as well as acute indigestion, peritonitis and Bright's disease of the kidneys, by keeping the liver active and the bowels regular. Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills cleanse the digestive sys- tem of foul impurities more quiekly than any treatment you can obtain. They awaken the liver and ensure the healthful action of the kidneys and bowels.

Stearn The portion selected from Mark fo tuday's lesson gives us two parabl one of which, the mustard seed, is th third in the regular order in Matt.

The admonitions, "Take heed what ye (rear," and "Take heed ho ye hear" (verse 2d; t;uke vt[I, 18), 'tier never more needed than now. for fats teachers and teaching abound every where. Our lesson title, "The Growt of the Kingdom," is very misleading no doubt unintentionally, but bad a the some. It arises from the idea hel by itu many that the kingdom bega when the Spirit came, in a special wa and for a special purpose, at Pente- cost and bas been growing ever since whereas the truth Is that the kingdom then at hand did not come and has not yet come, and when it does com it will not be gradual, but ,by a grey eatartrophe, n Judgment, au overthrow of all enemies, according to Iso. xi, 4 sill. 9-11; xxxlv, 1, 2; Ixrl, 15, 10; Rev six, 19, 20; xx, 1-3. What then Is th growth now going on, as set forth In these parables and elsewhere? W must remember in connection with al these kingdom it:trebles His sayln when they asked Mtn about the firs one, "Unto you It is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God" (verse 11). The kingdom is not growing, bu the mystery more fully described in Eph. fit and elsewhere is growing, The church, which is HIS body, the elect from nil nations who are to share, the Kingdom with Him, groweth unto as holy temple in the Lord (Eph. 11, 18.22) lite seed of the first parable, the word of.God, being faithfully sown, quietly works according to this Best parable cit today's lesson, the blade, the ear, the full corn In the ear, until the harvest, whiche we shall see In next lesson, is t1,e end of the age. The wind blowet1l tt here It llsteth, and thou cansti not tell whence it cowetb or whither it gueth, is a trutb on the same line. The growth of the mustard seed into a great tree, sheltering the birds of the air in its branches or under its shadow. sets forth another phase 04 present things. That an herb should become a great tree is sowethitie out of the regular course of things, and these birds in the branches eauStt us to remember that In the parableof the sower the birds or fowls represented he devil (verses 4, 16), If in a dis- ourse the speaker uses a figure and xpinlns it, then a little later tises the ame figure, his former explanation tends, The so called church has growta 0 be a asst something `serf different tram what the Lot'd intended it to be, nd if in the drat twelve disciples there Was one of whom our.
