DRINKING WATER.
SORE THROATS AND COUGHS.
For the hacking, distressing cough
so often suffered from at night, noth-
ing is better than a cloth wrung out of
quite cold water, laid on the throat and
covered with a dry cloth. This seldom
has to be repeated, but if the cough
does not cease at once, wet the cloth
again in cold water, cover with the dry
and take comfort. A cold compress,
covered closely with a warm, dry one,
is splendid for all colds that carry fever
with them, and cause sore lungs and
coughs. This will take the fever out,
and relieve the membranes.
Sugar, lemon juice and the white of
an egg, beaten together, is a common
remedy for hoarseness. Lemon juice
and glycerine, equal parts, or equal
parts of honey and lemon juice, sipped
slowly is a relief for the irritated
throat.
A tablespoonful of glycerine in hot
milk is claimed to stop the most violent
fit of coughing if taken slowly. Equal-
ly simple and quite as effective is the
use of glycerine and water sprayed
through an atomizer; mix glycerine
with three times its bulk in boiled and
cooled water, and spray for influenza,
cold in the head, sore throat, and like
troubles.
For a sore throat grate the yellow
rind from one lemon and squeeze out
the juice letting it drop over two heap-
ing teaspoonfuls of sugar. Grate only
the yellow rind, as the white is bitter.
Add the juice and the grated yellow
rind of one orange, and let stand about
fifteen minutes, then strain through a
cloth; the result will be a syrup with a
delicious taste which will quickly as-
suage the irritation in the throat. No
water is to be used.
Every twenty-four hours there passes
out through the pores of your skin
about a quart of water. This "insen-
sible" perspiration goes on in the body
of every healthy man without his
knowing it. This evaporation from the
skin is necessary in order that the body
may remain at an even temperature,
and able to resist sudden chills, severe
colds or extreme heat. At the same
time, a still greater amount of water
is passing out of the body through the
lungs and other organs.
Now if you allow the body to part
with all this water without supplying
the loss, every tiny cell in the system
is robbed of its opportunity to grow,
and one of the many ailments due to
poor cell growth is bound sooner or
later to develop. Thus, the importance
of drinking enough pure water to keep
the tissues of the body supplied is at
once apparent.
Water taken in great quantities and
at long intervals is not so beneficial to
you as small amounts taken at frequent
intervals. Nor does the large amount
you drink after exercising or when per-
spiring in hot weather repair the loss
from "insensible perspiration," for at
such times you only quench your thirst,
which is a hurried demand of the dry-
ing cells for nutriment due to the un-
usual loss of water.
To keep in perfect health and to pre-
vent the arteries from growing brittle
in middle age, you should drink two or
more glasses of pure, cool water every
morning before eating breakfast. Be-
tween meals a glass or two should be
taken. Do not wait for thirst, but try
to keep the moisture of the body at a
perfect balance.
Do not drink iced water at any time.
Bad complexions and troublesome in-
digestion may often be traced to its
habitual use.
Good Penmanship Little Needed Now.
A prominent London, England, busi-
ness man admitted that neat writing
is neither taught nor encouraged in
the secondary schools; but he was of
opinion that the deficiency does not
much matter so long as the boys can
write their own names.
"The time is already close at hand,"
he said, "when no business letters,
very few other letters, and no docu-
ments of any length will be written by
hand. There are, roughly, two classes
of people in business -those who have
their letters written for them, and
those who write other people's letters.
The first class need never write a word
except their signatures; the second
class always use a typewriting machine.
"In every walk of life the need for
writing is diminishing. The telephone
is used for an immense amount of in-
formal business and for friendly and
private intercourse. Formal business
is always typewritten. The postoffice
telegram, in which formerly the hand-
writing of the clerk who received the
message over the wire was of great
importance, is being sent out in the
form of two or three strips of auto-
matically printed tape gummed on the
telegram form. The busy man who
travels about carries his own light
typewriter or uses the typewriting
offices which are being set up at so
many stations and hotels.
"If a man is going to be worth his
salt in business, signing his name on
the back of a check will be his first
and most important task in handwrit-
ing."

Tired Oat Kidneys.
Kidney troubles are so frightfully
common because the kidneys are so
easily upset by overwork or excesses of
of eating and drinking. Cure is effec-
ted not by whipping them on to renew-
ed effort, but by awakening the action
of liver and bowels by the use of Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. This rests
the kidneys and makes them well. Back-
ache and urinary disorders then disap-
pear.

In the south-western peninsula of the
province of Ontario tobacco growing
bas become a very profitable branch of
farming. In order to place the industry
on a substantial footing the Dominion
Department of Agriculture some three
years ago established an Experimental
Station at Harrow in the county of Es-
sex. The Station has been equipped
with a suitable barn, a drying shed and
other necessary facilities. This is but
one of several Tobacco Experimental
Stations operated by the Tobacco Di-
vision which is in charge of Mr. F.
Onarlan, a tobacco specialist, The Har-
row Station is in charge of Mr. W. A.
Barnet, B. S. A., who has prepared a
report of the work carried on under
his supervision in 1911.
The Station which comprises thirty-
eight and a half acres is carried on to
some extent as any ordinary farm.
Last year fifteen acres were devoted to
tobacco experiments in which nine of
improved Burley and six of Warne ver-
ities were dealt with. Tests were made
with differend kinds of beds, methods
of curing, various combinations of fer-
tilizers,tseed selection, combating the
tobacco worms, etc.
Referring to the returns from bright
tobacco as compared with Burley Mr,
Barnet concludes that white Bur-
ley is preferable for the average farm-
er to grow. During the past three
years the average price secured for
this tobacco has been twenty-five cents
per pound or an average gross return
of two hundred and fifty dollars per
acre.

butter and cheese. For the informa-
tion of buttermakers and cheesemakers
and others interested 'in dairying, there
has been printed a verbatum report of
the proceedings of this Conference.
Copies may be procured by applying
to the Publications Branch of the De-
partment of Agricultere, at Ottawa.
Uniformity, in Canadian Dairy Products.
A few months ago there was held at
Ottawa a conference of dairy experts
and officials from all parts of the Do-
minion. The meeting was called by
the Honourable, the Minister of Agri-
culture for the purpose of endeavoring
to perpetuate the uniformity in quality
and character of Canadian cheese and
butter that has been responsible for
the success of Canadian dairying. As
pointed out by the Dairy and Cold
Storage Commissioner, who presided
over the Conference, many things come
up in the practice of dairying over
which slight difference of opinion may
arise so that it seems desirable to bring
together from time to time those in
charge of dairy schools, and the chief
instructors, in the various provinces,
to discuss methods and practices, in
order to arrive at some agreement as
a body of dairy advisors. The Confer-
ence lasted WO days during Which time
many matters of importance were
taken up and freely discussed, Some.
of these were the pasteurization of
l whey, factory refuse in relation to
tuberculosis in hogs, tenting and grad-
ing Cream; at cream gdtherin% cream*

dose eased them, and three bottles cur-
ed them," says Mrs. R. A. Donaldson,

THE VALUABLE LEMON.
The lemon is a palatable medicine
and one that is especially good for the
blood. For thick, sluggish blood and
an inactive liver, the juice of a lemon
in a glass of water every morning on
rising is a most beneficial tonic. The
lemon juice should be taken without
sugar and drunk at least half an hour
before eating, to give it time to be ab-
sorbed into the system before anything
is taken into the stomach.
As a drink hot or cold lemonade still
stands first on the list of drinks.
In combination with other foods and
fruits it is also both refreshing and
stimulating. A few tablespoonfuls of
lemon juice in barley water is a splen-
did drink for the sick.
There is a zest about a dish of lemon
jelly to be served with different meats
(fish and poultry), which is especially
pleasing.
Wlien serving bananas and oranges
-fruits that are nearly always on the
market -a bit of lemon juiee squeezed
over the fruit brings out the flavor of
each.

'"Tis more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," says the Good Book, and we are
continually receiving letters that prove the
truth of this maxim.
Here's an extract that tells how the
good work we are doing in the fight
against Consumption appeals to every sec-
tion of the community.
A well-known citizen of Brantford
writes : "On Christmas morning my boys
gave me 52.50 to get some present for my-
self that I wanted.. I think you can use it
to good advantage in your noble work in
the National Sanitarium Association, so
am enclosing it for that purpose."
Doesn't it make you feel proud to know
thab there are Canadian lathers with the
self-sacrificing instinct so strongly imbued
in them ?
Isn't ib good to realize that the rising
generation is 'getting such a splendid
example shown them ? Last year it cost
over 382,000.00 to keep the Muskoka Free
Hospital open. More money is urgently
needed to provide for those seeking admis-
sion.
The needy Consumptive is right at
your door. Won't you help him to help
himself ?
The smallest gift will be most accept-
able. Just slip your contribution in an
envelope to -day, while you think of it,
addressed to Mn. W. J. GAGE, Chairman
of the Executive Committee, 84 Spading
Ave. ; or Mn. R. DUNSAR, Sec. Treas.,
347 King West, Toronto, and experience
the real joy of giving.
It takes a truly great man to con-
vince other people that he is great.

Psoriasis is one of the most dreaded
of itching skin diseases. It is a sort of
chronic eczema. The itching it causes
15 almost beyond human endurance,
and doctors are accustomed to give It
up as incurable.
But here is a case that was given
up and Pronounced incurable. The re-
sult proves that Dr. Chase's Ointment
almost works miracles in curing the
worst form of itching skin disease
imaginable,
Mrs. Nettie Massey, Consecon, Ont.,
writes: --'For five years I suffered
with what three doctors called
psoriasis. They could not help me, and
one of them told the if anyone offered
to guarantee a cure for 550.00 to keel)
my money, as T could not be cured.
The disease spread all over me, even
on my face and head, and the itching
end burning was hard to bear. I used
ight boxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment,
and. I ata glad to say I am entirely
cured, not a sign of a sore to be seen.
1 can hardly praise this ointment
enough."
The soothing, healing influence of
tor, Chase's Ointment is truly wonder-
ful. Eczema, salt rheum, barber's
Itch, ringworm andaacores of Stith tor-
turing ailments are relieved at once
and as certainly Cured If the Ointment
is used persistently. Mothers find Dr.
Chase's Ointment invaluable in pre-
venting and curing the akin troubles
of tablet, such as ehating, irritation*
of the skin and baby eczema.

ext of the Leeson, Hos. vii -Memory
Verse, 2 -Golden Text, lea. v, 11 (R.
V.) -Commentary Prepared by Rev.
D. M, Stearns.
l uta in doubt about this chapter be-
rg the one assigned for the world's
empet'ance Sunday, but it Is the one
u the printed slip of lessons for the
ear, and we will find a profitable study
y taking some statements from the
-hole book, which we must consider
n order to understand this chapter.
There being no memory verse, I have
uggested 'verse 2, because our great
nilure as web as theirs is that we do
n01 consider Ise. i, 3; v, 12; illy, 19;.
dark vi. 52. As to our own doings,
trey are the great hindrance and keep
o many from turning to God (Hos. v;
4, and margin). As to the king, made
glad by lies and wickedness, joining
lands with scorners and giving him-
self bottles of wine (verses 3-7), Ahaz
N fill the bill perfectly (II Citron.
xxviii. 1.4, 11)). Pride. drunkenness, re -
against God, giving strength to
,tiangers and unconscious but mani-
fest physical failure (verses 9, 10, 13,
141 are some characteristics of the
druniau•d set forth In these verses.
lu verses 11, 16. we see reliance upon
I help instead of upon God, and
we are reminded of the many cures
1'or drunkenness tried in homes for in-
ebriates, when there is only One that
c•an really deliver. Fie is always ready
I • have mercy and may be beard say-
ing to the drunkard and to every sill-
ier, -Thou bast destroyed thyself. but
I • Me is thine help" (vi, 6; x111, 9). Is-
rael, here culled Ephraim, is spoken of
in many ways and by many figures re-
garding their turning away from the
Lord, and these words are true also of
aII sinners: "Destroyed for lack of
knowledge, forgotten the law of God,
left oil' to take heed to the Lord, have
sown the wind and shall reap the whirl-
wind, have plowed wickedness and
shall reap iniquity" (iv, 6, 10; viii, 7;
x, 13). The cry of the Lord to the wan-
dering ones to return to Him is beard
In such words as these: "Return unto
the Lord thy God, for thou hast fallen
by thine iniquity. Take with you
words and turn to the Lord. • • e I
will heal their backsliding; I will love
them freely" (xiv, 1, 2, 4).
Two remarkable figures describing
the professed people of God in their
wanderings from Him are, "A cake not
turned," "An empty vine bringing forth
fruit unto himself" (vii, 8; x, 1), sug-
gesting the life that is right outwardly,
but wrong on the other side, and also
the life which seeks only its own hap-
piness. Drunkards. opium fiends and
such like are, of all people. apt to be
the most selfish and unreasonable and
rebellious. counting alt others foolish
and mad, joined to their idols, and
desiring to be let alone (Ix. 7: iv, 16).
Yet for even such thereis deliverance
if they will only turn to the Lord.
Prophecy has become to me a fascinat-
ing study since I began to receive it as
a light shining In a dark place -the
words of the Holy Spirit by holy meu,
that we might know what God is do-
ing and is going to do, written for our
learning that we through patience and
comfort of the Scriptures might have
hope (I1 Pet. 1. 19-21; Amos 111, 7;
Rom. xv, 4); since I have also found
that Re, Jesus Christ Himself, and
His people Israel are the center of all
the prophecy and that everywhere His
and their glorious future Ig predicted
as bringing blessing to the whole: world
(Acts x, 43; Rev. xix, 10; isa. Ix, 1-3; Ixii,
1-3). In all prophecy He tells Isralel
plainly their sins. rebukes them, pleads
with -them, chastensthem, but always
tells of a glorious future, when they
shall see evil no more, after they shall
have truly repented and received their
Messiah.
We might not have thought that Hos.
xi, 1. had any reference to Christ,
"When Israel was a child, then I loved
him and called my Son out of Egypt,"
1f' we had hot rend it in Matt. if, 15.
But everywhere there are such plain
or hidden references to Him. See His
and their glorious resurrection in chap-
ter vi, 2, 3: "After two days will Ile re-
vive us. In the third day Re will raise
us up, and we shall live: In His sight.
• • • His going forth is prepared as
the morning."
In the revised version that last clause
1a "se 1 as the morning." Rotherham
translates it. "Like the dawn is His
coming forth assured." And another
translates it. "Ells coming Is as certain
as the dawn." It is perfectly in accord
nnce with Hata II, 3; Bela x. 37.
'Though It tarry, wait for It. because
It will surely come, It wilt not tarry'
"For yet a little while. 101(1 il.i' that•
shall come wet eo)ne and Will not tar
ry." 10 the (•oniext of these two and'
In two other pineea we have the flea
times repeated saying, "The just shall
live by faith" (flab. 11, 4; Rom. f, 1T
Gni. 111, 11; Heb. x. 38). May we follow
