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."

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. TOBACCO GROWING IN ONTARIO LIPTON'S TEA Goes farthest for the money. (From the TIMES of Nov. 4, 1892.) LOCAL NEWS. The slaters have the roof on the new English church about completed and it makes a good roof. There has been a new sidewalk built along the street north of the new Bank of Ilamilton. Why not build it to the livery stable? Mr. Andrew Murray, blacksmith, who was injured while shoeing a horse, on Friday week, has recovered so as to be able to be at work again. Mr. T. L. Jobb has moved his car- riage works and blacksmith shop from his shop opposite the Exchange hotel, to the shop lately occupied by R. Dreaver and shop next, which he has fixed up for the purpose. The primary competition for the On- tario tankard in this curling district will be between Wingham, Kincardine, Brussels, Wroxeter and Lucknow. The Bank of Hamilton removed to 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.

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* tries, whey butter, methods of paying patrons of cheese factories, and other "There could be no better medicine than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

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. DONT'S FOR THE KITCHEN.

'"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.

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. Dr. Chase'* Ointment, 40 cent* a bo*.

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).
