PUBLISHER ANI) PROPIETOR THURSDAY, JANUARY 2. 1913 EDITORIAL NOTES pete with the British and American im- ported paper of the finer qualities. The process of manufacture from bamboo is a more expensive one than that from wood. It is thought that experiments may cheapen the process, and the sup- ply of the cane is practically inexhausti- ble. Moreover, the bamboo is a plant thtst can readily be cultivated. If any particular species is considered the best for paper -making purposes, it can easily be grown in any quantity. Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania all have forests of it. For paper -making the cane is cut up into small pieces, of one or two inches, then boiled with sulphate of lime, bleached by electricity, . washed, machine rolled, and pressed into tissue form, and dried by steam Diseu=sing Sir James Whitney's at- titude on the tax reform propiasal's,' the Ottawa Citizen, Conservative, says: - "Had he (Sir James Whitney)been re- tained by the Liberals he could hardly have served their interests better in op- posing a reform which increasingly ap- peals to the intelligence of the country. The one certain fact is the necessity of the Conservative party insisting upon such change of leadership or of policy as shall put it in line with the progress of the time." No More Open Minds Around There. [Toronto Star.] It would appear that the other day lion W. J. Hanna left the door of his mind open for a moment with the re- sult that a modern and progressive idea n tax reform ran through it, as a ouse scurries across a room and dis- ppears. "What is running through my mind s this," said he, and he intimated that perhaps it might be wise to have a fixed lower assessment on improve- ents. No a checkerboard system, you un- erstand-not an arrangement that ould permit municipalities to decide or themselves whether they would re- uce the taxation on improvements and crease that on land. Sir James had d against that, and so was bar- r. Hanna noticed this thought rough his mind, he told the ers of the special committee stature about it. They at- - importance to it, because Hon. . J. Hanna was chairman of the com- mittee which had devoted much time to hearing evidence on assessment reform. But it was soon evident that it mat- ters very little even if Mr. Hanna's mind should be all tracked up by mod- ern ideas running through it. Mr. Han- na's mind is not the Government's mind. It is hardly Mr. Hanna's, even Sir James came bustling in and scouted all ideas but his own. He slamed shut the win- dows of Mr. Hanna's mind, the Gov- ernment's mind and the minds of near- ly•all the supporters of the Government on the committee -one slam closed them all. There is to be no assessment reform. The fact having come out in evidence that many municipalities now use their own discretion in apportioning assess- ment, this pernicious practice is to be stopped. Sir James will mighty soon show them that according to the pre- sent law they have no option but to use their indiscretion. "Is there anything more to be said?" asked Mr. Hanna. There was not. Noth- ing remained but for Mr. Hanna and all the others who had been working on this so-called committee of the Legisla- ture to crown their independence with their hats and go home. , The Child's Diet. The child who enjoys plenty of fresh air usually has a good appetite, but sometimes too much play and excite- ment makes children too exhausted to eat. At such times they should not be forced to eat against their inclination. It is better to put them to bed earlier and keep them in bed a little longer in the morning. Sleep is the best tonic for the lean, restless child. When he is thoroughly rested his appetite will re- turn and he will not have to be urged to eat. Do not force a child to eat specially dislikes. anything he pec y dhs ik s. If he does not like one kind of cereal, try another. Some children do not like milk. Every child should have one quart of milk daily. It is not necessary for them to drink that amount. It can be used in puddings and various ways of cooking. Sugar may be allowed in mod- eration, sprinkled in cereals, provided it does not spqil the appetite for other foods. All children like candy, and they should have it. It is better eaten after meals. There is little danger of it decaying the teeth if they are brush- ed night and morning. The child who has to take his lunch to school deserves special attention. It is better for him to take his lunch than buy it. Bamboo for Paper Making. Scottish engineers have perfected plans for the manufacture of pape-, on a large scale, from bamboo. On a site near Kagi (Japan) a factory has been installed with every requisite to deal in the first place with 300 tons of pulp per month, but with room for any de- velopment. In this case the pulp will be treated in Formosa, and shipped in rolls or sheets to the paper mills at Kobe; just in the same way as the wood pulp of Norway, Sweden. Russia, and Finland is shipped to the United King- dom to feed the British paper mills. It is hoped that in the Far East bamboo pulp will enable Eastern mills to corn - Had Pains in Her Liver Doctors Only Relieved Her For A Time.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and ardent apostle of the modern Irish movement, is fond of telling the follow- ing real Irish story: "It was the wedding day of Pat and Bridget, and they were having a church wedding. It was a grand affair. Pat was dressed with patent leather shoes, white vest, and flaming tie. Bridget shone attractively in many colors. The ceremony was over, and the happy pair walked down the aisle and into the street where a large crowd greeted them with delight. • Once seated within the cab, Bridget leaned over to Pat and said, in a loud whisper: Och, Pat, if we could only have stood on the pavement and watched ourselves pass, would'nt it have been Hevin?"

We are pleased to see Mr. H. Davis on the streets again after an illness of over a week's duration. The house at the rear of the Congre- gational church, having been sold to Mr. Alex McNevin, is being removed this week. This section was favored with plenty of sleighing for Christmas, the first time for a number of years. The snow is from 15 to 20 inches deep at the pre- sent time. Mr. Richard Kinsman, of this town, has been appointed an Ontario Game and Fish Deputy Warden, and will see that the law in regard to game and fish is observed in this vicinity. On Friday evening last, a Christmas tree entertainment was given in the Congregational church,Wingham. There was a good attendance, and the pro- gramme consisted of recitations, songs, etc. Postmaster Fisher returned from his visit to Manitoba and the Northwest, Doomed to Life-long Exile. Gloom has settled over the Winter Palace, where lives Pu Wi, the small Chinese Emporer, and the Empress Dowager, because, it is said on reliable authority, they have been deserted by all the blood relations of the royal fam- ily, who have silently fled to parts un- known. The only persons remaining at the palace, save the Empress Dowager and the small boy who does not know what has happened in his great country since it became a republic, are a few hundred eunuchs, who are said to be denuding the place of its most valuable treasures. The small Pu Wi, who was named as Emperor by a decree issued in 1906, is not a lively chap for his age. He plays with his toy soldiers in the great cham- bers, while the Empress Dowager weeps incessantly for the changes that time have worked and for the desertion of her royal followers. He may probably never know why he is practically kept a prisoner in the great palace, nor why he is not allowed to leave its walls, but as he gets older the Empress Dowrger may perhaps tell him of the threats of the Manchu gossips that death await those who are caught outside the city. Little Pu Wi is said to be a dull, list- less youngster, who is living miserably, and possibly is doomed to die as he has lived. The size of a dollar depends on whe- ther it is coming or going.

On Monday night, one of Mr. McKenzie's horses got loose in the Stable and kick- ed the stallion, breaking both its hind legs. The loss to Mr. McKenzie will be considerable. On Wednesday morning last, a happy event took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Watson, of this town, when their second daughter, Miss Amy Watson, was united in wedlock td Mr. J. S. Timmins, of Bluevale. On Monday evening last, Mr. R. M. Robinson, well and favorably known in Wingham and vicinity for many years paid the debt of nature. Mr. Robinson had been a sufferer from lung trouble for many years, but had not been con- fined to his bed continuously for any length of time. In fact he was up the day of his death.

When one is overtired or worried and cannot sleep, being gently rubbed all over with a towel wrung out of hot salt water generally has the desired effect. Deep breathing in fresh air through the nostrils is also excellent. Cornmeal, orris root and shaved soap makes a good bath bag. Immersing the hands or feet in a bowl of hot cornmeal dry is said to relieve rheumatism. These are a couple of the uses for cornmeal and are worth trying, for the meal is cheap. Uncooked vegetables and fresh fruit constitute the prescription of beauty specialists for those who would acquire a beautiful skin, and town women on a country holiday should not neglect the opportunities which days in a garden afford. According to a recent statement of the United States Geological Survey, 3,062,022,020,000 tons of coal still re- main to be mined in the United States -about 99.5 per cent. of the original supply. At the present rate of con- sumption, the supply would last for 4,- 000 years. The consumption, however, is rapidly increasing, and if the ratio of increase continues, the 4,003 might be reduced to 400. Here is a remedy that will cure your cold.

With window and indoor plants, al- ways make a practice, in cold weather, of removing plants from hear the win- dow to the centre of the room last thing each evening. There will then be no risk of frost penetrating the glass and reaching the plants. If this precaution is considered to involve too much trouble, then adopt the simple expedient of plac- ing several sheets of paper between the plants and the glass. Paper is a first- rate non-conductor of heat or cold, and consequently the plants will escape in- jury by the severest frost. In a certain rural parish church in the north of Scotland, some years ago, the following incident occurred: During the singing of the first psalm a goose enter- ed the church and quietly "waddled" up the passage towards the pulpit, just as the precentor had got out of tune and almost come to a standstill, a not unusual occurrence at that time. The minister, observing the goose, leaned over the pulpit, and, addressing the church officer, said --"Robert, put out the goose." The functionary, not ob- serving the presence of the feathered parishioner, and supposing that the minister's direction had reference tO the precentor. marched up to that individual, and to the no small amusement of the congregation, collared him, saying at 1•p same time -"Come out o' that, you id fellow."

The splendid new Rincon sea -level road for automobiles, which was opened the other day with a monster ,barbecue for 30,000 people, shortens the distance be- tween Los Angeles and Santa Barbara by ten miles and the time by more than an hour. To pass between Rincon Moun- tain and the sea it was necessary to build a causeway a mile and a quarter long, at a cost of nearly $50,000. This is one of the most spectacular parts of a route which is most famous among automobilists. It will soon be possible to follow the coast for the whole length of California.

Feeds rich in protein are nec- essary for the brood sow. The young pigs should be out. on the pasture as soon as possi- ble. Alfalfa is a great feed for a brood sow in summer and win- ter. Provide plenty of pure water, sunshine, range and green for- age crops for the. growing pigs. Scattering oats on the ground for the little pigs to pick up is a good way to encourage them to quick exercise. Do not allow newly acquired animals to mix with the herd. Keep them in separate quarters for three or four weeks. 0000.0000000000000001 SMALL OR LARGE SHEEP. n Argument In Favor of Handling the Lighter Breeds. The question often arises as to which' roves itself the more profitable to the reeder and feeder of sheep, a heavy, keep or a small but better quality, ue. wrItes W. H. Underwood. Let uel, or example, take the Oxford and Hampshire cross ai a type of big sheep, t being a favorite cross, and the Shrop. litre as an example of a smaller and, t may be said with all due respect to he before mentioned cross, a better quality sheep. It is well known that big sheep afv big consumers and consequently can- not be so thick on the land as small sbeep can, and, for instance, where 104 I. ewes of the Oxford-Etamp- ahire type can be kept 140 Shropshirel could be run on the same given quasi tity of land. Then, too, the Shropshire s more prolific than any other short wooled breed, and, whereas one and one-fourth lambs per ewe Is considered quite a satisfactory average in the Ox• ford and Hampshire flocks or the cross between the two above named, ono and three-fourths is quite common and one and a half the usual average In Shropsbire flocks, so that, taking the crumple before mentioned on the same given quantity of land,100 cross Oxford Hampshires would produce 125 lambs, and the 140 Shiopshiros in all prof' ability would produce 220, mortality, being about the same in both cases. And again, when the time comes for the lambs to go on grain there is no comparison between the amount" had an Oxford -Hampshire will consume a.. against the Shropshire. One and one- half pounds of grain per day Is about the average quantity given to the first mentioned sheep, whereas half that at- lowance Is ample and is all that Is gen- erally allowed to a .Shropshire. There- fore the quantity of grain consumed by the Shropshlres, although nearly 100 more, would be considerably leafs per day than consumed by the Oxford- Hampshires and In five or six months' feeding would amount to a pretty sub- stantial difference. Also a Shropshire will clip as great a weight of wool, as any other short wooled breed and generally realizes more, and when draft ewes come to be sold In the a')tumn those of the Shrop- shire or more compact type are far better to sell, as appearances often ga against the sale of big, unshapely old ewes. The mutton also is of better quality and makes more per pound in the market than any save the South. down. An Iowa ,Sow Ration. The Iowa experiment station is using a ration for brood sows and sucking pigs that is made up of seventy pounds of cornmeal, ten younds of middlings, ten pounds of 60 per cent meat meal of tankage, five pounds of bran, two pounds of oilmen!, one pound of feed- ing quality of bone Pour, one pound of limestone dust and a pound of salt. These feeds are thoroughly mixed and given in a thick slop, the aim being to feed just enough to enable the sow to produce enough milk for her pigs. This ration looks like an old fashion ed doctor's prescription -a little of ev- erything -but there is a reason for it, says Kansas Farmer. In the first place it has proved to be the beat and cheap• est combination of feeds for the pur- pose, and in the second place it pro• duces results. It is well understood that the sow must have flesh and bone forming feed or the pigs will not develop properly. The tankage. bone Pour and limestone dust are added to-sppply these elements which are not present in sufficient quantities in the others. Ventilate Your Sams.
