Mothers should always keepZam-I3uk handy, and should use Zm-Buk Soap for baby's bath. WHAT THE CENSUS SAYS. A recent blue book containing the final report of the census taken last year has been issued. It reveals some peculiar conditions. The rural popula- tion in 1911 was 3,924,364 and urban population 3,280,444. In 1901 the rural population was 4,349,516, and the urban population 2,021, 799. The increase of rural population in the ten years is therefore 574,878, and of the urban 1,258,645, which is 17.16 per cent., for the former and 62.25 per cent., for the latter. In Alberta the increase of rural popu- lation in the ten years was 180,327, and of urban 12I,314. In British Columbia the increase of rural population was 100,318 and of urban 113,205, and in Manitoba the increase was 70,511 and the urban 129,892. New Brunswick lost 1,493 rural gained 22,162 urban, while Nova Scotia lost 23,981 rural and gained 56,745 urban. Ontario lost 52,184 rural and gained 392,511 urban Prince Ed- ward Island gained 15 urban but lost 9,546 rural. Quebec shows gains of both rural and urban population, being 39,- 951 for the former and 313,162 for the latter. Saskatchewan also shows gains in both classes, being 287,338 for the former and 113,815 for the latter. In Yukon the rural loss was 13,480 and the urban loss 5,277. In the Northwest Territories, whose population is whol- ly rural, the loss was 2,933. Another interesting feature is the tabulation of people by conjugal statue. There were 1,331,564 married men and only 1,251,182 married women, prob- ably accounted for by the fact That the surplus of husbands had left their wives at home in Europe until they were able to make good in Canada. That there is ample opportunity for Cupid to get busy is proven by the fact that there were 2,369,160 bachelors and 1,941,354 spinsters in Canada when the census was taken. There were 89,121 widowers and 197,598 widows. She growth of the divorce habit is shown by the fact that there were 839 divorced men in Canada in 1911, as against 337 in 1901, while the number of divorced women grew from 324 in 1901 to 091 in 1911. The largest gain during the last for- ty years was made by Montreal, being 355,480; the second largest by Toronto, being 317,538; the third largest by Win- nipeg, being 135, 794. Vancouver's growth was 101,401 in less than thirty years. "KEEP HAPPY" RULES. It is one thing to be happy -for an hour, a day, a week, but it is quite another matter to "keep" happy. A few little "keeps" have been suggest- ed as guideposts along the way to that big "keep" which means so much, not only to ourselves, but to all who may come within our reflecting radius: Keep cheerful. Hunting trouble ruins more nerves than trouble when it arrives. Keep alert. Mental ruts make more hypochrondriacs than does over -wrought imagination. Keep physically active. The inert woman who hates to move is usually the greatest growler about her health. Keep clean. The close connection between the pores of the skin and good health is not considered carefully enough. Keep interested. There is nothing like a fad or an object in life to put aches and pains into the background. Keep busy. The Satanic mischief provided for idle hands is better known than the physical mischief that hounds the woman with time to think about her health. Keep your feet warm. More cold is taken through the ankles than in any other way, so do not run in low shoes all winter.

A writer in the official bulletin pub- lished by the Aero Club of America, says it is quite possible the ocean will be Crossed by an air route before 1914, and possibly even this year. One pos- sible route is from Newfoundland to Ireland. about 1,900 miles: another is by way of the Azores, 1,200 miles. One of the plans proposed is that the air- ship should fly three or four miles high to meet with a current of air which would carry the airship at a speed of eighty to one hundred miles per hour.

As the smoking population of Canada is probably less than a million the per capita consumption of cigarettes is alarmingly large. GAVE UP ALL DOPES OF EVER GETTING WELL Mr. Jacob E. Herr, 111 Grange St., Stratford, Ont., writes:—"Ten years ago I suffered with a very peculiar disease. I would go to bed feeling as well as could be, and after sleeping for five hours I would wake with a severe pain in my beck, then moving into my side and breast. The pain was so terrible I c -mid not lie in my bed, and usually had to sit until morning with a pillow propped ve behind my back. With all my pain I would go to work, and after working up to about 10 o'clock the pain would leave ire: entirely. The sante thing would hap- pen the next night, and every night for two years. I tried four different doctors, but none of them did me any good. I tried a great many patent medicines, but ,.I1 of no avail. I gave up all hopes of ever getting well. A friend persuaded me to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. I bought four Loser, and after using the one I felt a change for the better, and after tiring three boxes I could sleep all night. The pains were gone, and I tv 4 completely cured. Milbura's Heart and Nerve Pills are 60 eeute per box, or 3 boxes for;1.25, at ail dealer;, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Ce., Limited, Toronto, Ont, Teacher Cured of Barber's Itch Barber's Itch is a form of Ring- worm, which, when once started, is most annoying and unsightly, and most difficult to cure. But you can cure Barber's Itch and keep the skin wonderfully soft and healthy by applying Dr. Chase's oint- ment. Just read what this teacher has to say about the healing power of Dr. Chase's Ointment. Mr. Chas. C. Poirier, Upper Cara- quet, N.B., writes: --"Two years ago while teaching at Shippegan I caught Barber's Itch. A friend told me Dr. Chase's Ointment would cure me, as it had him. "Not only was I cured by that single box, but it also cured two of my pupils, and this too quickly to be believed. One of them, a girl, had a running sore on the chin, which the doetor had tried in vain to cure. The other had a sore on the ear; water running out of it all the time. I can certify to the cure of these cases." Dr. Chase's Ointment, 60c a box, at all dealers, or Edinanson, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto. Tests made at the dairy, 0. A. C., during the season of 1911, indicate that milk bottles made of sterilized paper pulp and paraffined are quite suitable for holding milk from 24 to 48 hours without softening or causing any dis- agreeable odors in the milk held in these bottles.

He never had time tq go any place with his wife. He doled out money to his wife as if to a servant. He thought of his wife only as a cheap housekeeper. He never took time to get acquainted with his family. He never dreamed that a wifedeserv- ed praise or compliments. He has one set of manners for home and another for society. He thought his wife should spend all her time in doing housework. He married an ideal and was dissap- pointed that it had flaws. A striking example of the advantage accruing to the dairyman from the care- ful testing of his cows is afforded in a recently -published synopsis of the work of a single Cow -testing Association. The profit on one herd of 45 cows, for the limited period of the test, was $122 21. The profit on the test of ten cows in - eluded in the same herd was $151 82. It is therefore seen that not only did the owner feed and care for 35 poor cows, with no return whatever, but he actually spent upon them $29 61 of the money earned by the ten good cows. He would have been far better off had he only kept the 10 —Farm and Dairy. If you are a housewife you cannot reasonably hope to be healthy or beau- tiful by washing dishes, sweeping and doing housework all day, and crawling into bed dead tired at night. You must get out into the open air and sun- light.

The speech of Mr. Rowell at London was an eminently fair one, delivered with remarkable courtesy and consider- ation for his opponents, and yet it pres- ented his own case and that of the Lib- erals of Ontario strongly. There are some people who make the mistake that invective should be taken for argument and that the more an opponent is abus- ed the better case is made for the speak- er's own view. It will be found that moderate, yet strong statements, well argued, will do more to convert a polit- ical opponent, or aman who is wavering than oceans of denunciation. Mr. Row- ell from his courtesy, his fairness and thorough presentation of his subject will win friends in the years to eome. Stratford Beacon. ' Why do railroads change their time cards twice a year? The solution is easy. .Here it is: During the summer season the heat expands the rails, snak- ing the mileage greater and thereby necessitating the lengthening of the train schedule so that the proper con- nections may be made and the trains arrive on time. During the winter sea- son the cold acts vise versa, shortening the mileage so that the operating de- partment must shorten the schedule. It might be added that these changes are made for the benefit of all concern- ed. --Bloomington Pantograph. KOREANS ARE GLUTTONS. Always Ready to Eat and Always Gorge Themselves When They Can. The Koreans appear to be the great- est eaters In the world. To this the Jupanese, French, English, Dutch and Chinese all bear witness. Ml reports concerning the Korean capacity for food seem to agree. In this respect there Is not the least difference be- tween the rich and the poor, the noble and the plebeian. To eat mush is an honor in Korea, and the merit of a feast, It would seem, consists not so touch In the quality as In the quantity of the food served. Little conversation occurs during the Korean meal, for each sentence might lose a mouthful. A. Korean Is always ready to eat. He attacks whatever he meets with and rarely cries "Enough!" Even between meals he will help himself to anything edible that Is offered. The ordinary portion of a laborer is about a quart of rice, which when cooked makes a good bulk. This, how- ever, is no serious hindrance to his de- vouring double or treble the quantity when be can get it. Eating matches are common. When an ox is slaught- eyed and the beef is served up a heap. ing bowl of the steaming mess does not alarm any guest. When fruits, such as peaches or small melons, are served It is said that they are devoured without peeling. Twenty or thirty peaches are deemed an ordinary allow ance per person and rapidly disappear. Such prodigality in food is, however, not common, and for one feast there are many fastings. The Koreans are neither fastidious In their eating nor painstaking in their cooking. Nothing goes to waste. All Is grist that comes to the mill In their mouths.—New York Press.

Ho Liked to Play Practical Jokes Upon His Invited Guests. We all like our little joke, and east- ern potentates have from time imme- morial enjoyed the reputation of be- ing the merriest of monarchs. The Moorish palace of Sultan Abu Yakub Yussuf at Seville—known today as the Alcazar•—contains one of the most elaborate practical jokes extant. When in a gay mood some important mer- chant or notable of Seville would re- ceive a pressing invitation summoning him to the presence. In a fever of de- lighted expectancy the flattered guest would don his whitest raiment and hie him to the palace. Thele he would be ceremoniously conducted to the gardens and directed up the long avenue. But, alas, half- way up it he would inevitably tread upon a moving flagstone resting upon a spring. end immediately countless fine jets of water would gush out of the ground and from the surrounding shrubbery and drench him. Amid the Jeers of the courtiers the luckless and bedraggled wight would beat an un- dignified retreat. Before he was al- lowed to leave the palace, however, he was sworn to secrecy on pain of death. At all costs nothing must make the joke fall flat when repeated. The treacherous flagstone has been removed, and today the. visitor may puss with impunity, but a peseta to the head gardener will usually cause the fountains to play. Not many peo- ple know of their existence, however. The water is sprayed through hun- dreds of tiny pipes, so small as to be almost invisible, which are placed in the cracks between the flagstones.— Strand Magazine.

STONE &flWEELINOTONyLI ,rORO TO. By and Large. A correspondent asks, "Where did the fool expression 'by and large' come from, and what does It mean?" It b scarcely foolish, for the men who in- vented the phrase were the great sail- ors of the past, and by and large they opened a new world for folk to whom the speech of adventure is a closed volume. To sail "by" is to sail as close to the point from which the wind comes as the ship's lines will allow and as skillful steering will permit. To sail "large" is to sail with the wind. Together they include all possible points of sailing. Therefore "by and large" is a vivid phrase to express the idea of all included—New York Sun. The Proud Duke. An English importer iu New York told a story illustrative of the pride of the late Duke of Fife.

"To this invitation came back the answer: "'The Duke of Fife's piper is desired to inform Mrs. Parvenu's social secre- tary that the Duke of Fife declines het Invitation. "—Washington Star.
