Scptesrber 5th to 13th, Tyne Western lair of London, °nt- tt Pio, wi1 this year without doubt sur- pass anything aver before attempted by the Association, For months past preparations have been going quietly on foe the great E:.liibition, and when the time arrives it will be found that every- thing is in first-class condition. En- quiries of all kinds arc' coming into general offices and the indications are that the buildings, although enlarged this year, will be filled to overflowing. This space in the Main Building is al- ready about allotted. It is expected that the Agricultural and horticultural Buildings will be crowded, as the Fruit exhibits from the different counties will be quite large and very attractive. The Women's Institute throughout adiddlesex County will no doubt make a very attractive display in their com- petition. Prize lists, entry forms and informa- tion of all kinds regarding the Exhibi- tion will be given on application to the Secretary, A. M. Hunt, General offices, Room 302 Dominion Savings Euilding, London, Ontario. "TOO LONESOME IN THE COUNTRY," Socialization of rural life is one of the pressing duties of men of place and in- fluence. One of the characteristics of the age is the herding together of people in vast urban communities. When the hand loom gave place to the carpet factory, and the scythe to the snowing machine, the growth of the city was inevitable. With the spread of the city the invention of new forms of amusement became necessary. So we have "great white ways", picture shows by the score, theatres, band con- certs, and hosts of other diversions for the men and women who, tired in body and brain seek sound and color at night. From Grey County comes the story of the partial failure of the farm labor experiment which began so auspicious- ly when District Representative Duff landed in Montreal witn one hundred picked men from Scotland, for one hundred picked farmers in Grey. Before he left Toronto twenty-five of them had been captured by rival employers, chiefly city contractors. Since the arrival of the other seventy-five in Grey, fully a dozen have left for other employment. "The country was too lonesome," some of them said, "I can do better in Toronto or Cobalt," others said. The men who said it was too lone- some in the country, merely expressed what most city people feel in that en- vironment, unless or until they have a real stake in the community. "I aidn't like a small town," said a girl in a western city the other day, testifying before a wage commission. The other side was reflected in the plaint of a girl who said that she never had any money left over to go to the parks or anywhere. The one story set against the other, suggests this conclusion: the city has a mighty lure because of its amusement side, but this very craze for amusement costs more money than the average wage-earner can properly afford. The country can be made more attractive and at the same time little or no more expensive. School and church buildings abound everywhere. The leaders in thought and action in every community can make these buildings more useful for local gatherings, which will be in- structive and amusing, and which will at the same time greatly promote con- tentment with rural life.—Globe. The Best Medicine in the World' "My little girl had dysentry very bad. I thought she would die. Chamber- lain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem- edy cured her, and I can truthfully say that I think it is the best medicine in the world," writes Mrs. William Orvis, Clare, Mich.

Heat the sugar in the oven before adding it to the fruit juke. If the juice must be boiled down, al- ways do so before the sugar is added, The jelly, will be clearer and finer if the fruit is simmered gently and not stirred during cooking. Do not allow the syrup to boil rapidly or crystals may appear in the jelly. Always make jelly on a bright day. Wash the jelly glasses in hot water and set them on a folded cloth wrung out of hot water. Set the jelly in a sunny window for twenty-four hours, then cover them 'with melted parafin wax and set in a dry cool place.—Eldora Lockwood Dow in woman's World. A Good investment, W. D. lwell known merchant aM gi, s trf Whitemoundl Wis., bought a stock of Chamberlains medicine so as to be able to supply them to his customers. After reet"iving them he was 'himself taken sick and tlAST that one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was worth more to flim than the cost of lits entire stock of these medicines.

GREEN CORN, As sprirg on summertime encroaches, Vie day of roastin' ears approaches; this subject now the poet broaches with wholesome glee; at other times the bard supposes it's up to him to sing of roses, and so he hands out generous doses of eestaey. At other times he sings of lilies and maiden hair and daffodillies until his hearers have the willies and reach for bricks; but if you ask him now to chirrup, on winged steed, with foot in stirrup, a song of flowers, he's sure to rear up, and answer "Nix!" For roa'stin' ears are now pervading the haunts of men, and we are wading into the Files so quickly fading 'neath eager hands; oh, roasting ears we give you greeting! You are the treat, when gods are treating! You fill (we feel, when we are eating) all sane demands. Let epicures express their wishes for wond- erful and fearful dishes, for shred- ded fowls and scrambled fishes, the pampered dears; we common folk. with common stomachs, won't emulate the pampered lummix; we only ask for piles and hummocks of roastin' ears. We take the ear and spread the butter, and chew it with a cheerful sputter, our thoughts too heavenly to utter the crowd before; when filled we leave the groan- ing table, and walk six times around the stable, and then come back, as fast as able, and eat some more. Walt. Mason, Eczema on the head. Mr. Peterson, South Bay, Ont., writes: "For years I suffered a sort of eczema os the head. I tried four different doctors, giving each a fair trial, but the disease grew worse and spread to my arm. I got Dr. Chase's Ointment and it has entirely cured me. I give you my name because I want other sufferers to know about this splendid Ointment." USE OAT POULTICE FOR PNEU- MONIA. When a person has pneumonia and an application is desired that will sup- ply heat to the chest, there is nothing known that is equal to a sack of dry, clean oats. A couple of quarts of the grain can be placed in a sack made of some thin material, and this can be heated by placing in an oven until the oats are so hot they will burn the hand. The sack can then be applied to the spot desired and the heat from the grain will be imparted to the body. Oats have the power of retaining the heat longer than most any other appli- cations, and they are easily re -heated as often as desired. Two sacks can be made, and in urgent cases where con- stant heat is needed, d one maybe - heat- ing while the other is being used. The oats have an advantage over many other applications, some of which are good, owing to the fact that they are dry and not damp or mussy, and the clothing cannot be soiled with them. Another feature in their favor is said to be in the fact that where lini- ments are used on the patient the oats will drive the liniment in where it is needed, and any excess is absorbed by the chaff on the grains of oats. Should the grain become greasy or saturated with the elements used in the liniment application, they can be dis- carded and new oats placed in the sacks. The price of oats makes this remedy within the reach of all. Causes of Stomach Trouble. Sedentary habits, lack of out door ex- ercise, insufficient mastication of food, constipation, a torpid, worry and an- xiety, overeating, partaking of food and drink not suited to your age and oc- cupation. Correct your habits and take Chamberlain's Tablets and you will soon be well again. For sale by all dealers. CULINARY LORE. MI cooked food should be cooled as soon as possible before being placed in the ice box. Butter may be kept from taking up the flavors of other food by keeping it in a tightly -covered recess_ tacle. Milk requires more access of air, but in a clean ice box in which no strong - smelling food is kept milk should re- main uninjured in flavor for twelve to twenty-four hours. If vegetables or other foods of pronounced odor are kept in glass jars with covers or in covered earthenware receptacles there will be fewer odors to be communicat- ed. Portions of canned goods should never be put into the ice box in a till can. Such food does not of necessity develop a poisonous product, as has sometimes been claimed, but experi- ments show that ptomaines are partic- ularly liable to develop in such cases. Pastry which is to be served cold will keep short and crisp better if milk is used instead of water. If tea is spilled on the tablecloth, cover the spot immediately with salt and allow it to remain for a while. When the cloth is washed the stain will vanish. Clothespins will last longer if they are dipped into boiling water before they are used. When a man gets old enough to need a woman to take care of him, few wom- en want to tackle the job.

So many people are bothered with the common "poison ivy" during the summer that there are always scores looking for a cure. A very simple one has been sug- gested by Dr. Robert T. Morris, of New York. It is as follows: "As soon as the symptoms of itching and redness appear and you know you have exposed yourself to the innocent looking but poisonous vine, wash the spots thoroughly with green soap, us- ing a brush for the washing, and follow this with another thorough washing with 98 per cent grain alcohol." One treatment of this, if taken early enough, or when the first signs of the poison appear, will generally result in driving out the poison and effective an immediate cure. KITCHENETTES. A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled with your white clothes will aid in the whitening process. Place hard boiled eggs in 'cold water a few minutes after taking them from the fire. If you would keep them from turning dark. After drying salt for the table let it get cold before filling the salt cellars and it will not lump. Milk that has changed slightly may be sweetened for use again by stiring in a little soda. Equal parts of red and white lead, mixed into a paste with boiled linseed oil is very good cement for iron. Salt fish are easiest freshened by soaking them in sour milk. A lump of soda dissolved in a little hot water and added to the blue water will prevent the bluing from setting in the clothes. Oil of sassafras painted around the openings of sugar bowls, refrigerators, etc., will drive away red ants.

(Buffalo Courier.) Frederick Townsend Martin was talk- ing about climbers. "It's a mistake to think," he said, "that climbers never succeed in getting into the highest society. They succeed very of ten indeed, if they've got wealth, perseverance and cheek. "They must have plenty of cheek. They must be like Mrs. Spragg, of Centre City. A leader of the highest society said with a sigh of Mrs. Spragg: "That tiresome woman still keeps calling." "Why don't you snub her?" asked a friend. "Well, the next time she calls, don't offer her a chair." "Oh, I tried that. I tried that last month." "Well?" "Well, she always brings a camp stool now."

ANIMALS THAT COUNT. Horses and Oxen Whl Kee;- a Record of Their Daily 'trips. Nearly everyone has seen trained animals that "count," or at least give the impression that they can count. Must of this is performed by means of signals the trainer makes which are understood by the animals. The gesture of a hand, the tone of voice, the stamping of the foot, and various other signals will enable a horse or other animal to pick out the number wanted, or stop "counting" at a given number, the counting be- ing done by taps of the hoof. But there are untrained animals that can count, and not up to the or- dinary six or twenty numbers that about limit their ability in shows. Rather, they can count to thirty or a hundred. 1n some of the mines of Hainault horses are used to haul loads of ore over a little roadway and back by another route, as the tunnels are nar. row. Thirty such trips constitute e day's work for the horse, and without a word from drivers these horses will start for the great incline that leach to their stable at the end of the thir tieth trip. In fact, many of the drive era do not keep account of the tripe at all, knowing the horses will do so, and when at the end of the thirtieth trip the horses wheel suddenly and make for the outlet, these drivers have to jump and hold them long en' ough to loosen the catches that hold the tugs to the little cars. But even this is beaten by oxen, "The stupid ox" has become a well' known phrase the world over, and yet, according to Montaigne, the oxen employed in the royal gardens of Suss to turn the wheels to .which water' pails are attached absolutely refused to do more than one hundred rounds, as that was their day's work. This work consisted of having the oxen travel in a circle, keeping the water -drawing wheel in motion, and without fail on the hundredth trip aruond the circle the oxen would stop. Nor could they be urged to make an. other round. It is said that wild apes can count to four, and in order to hunt them a) ]east five hunters go out and four leave the place in a manner that will attract the apes. After the fourth hunter has gone the apes will come out, and are thus secured, but they will never go out from their cover until four hunters have been seen leaving the place. The same is also claimed by naturalists of rooks and magpies. Origin of Knives. The first knives, according to the conclusions of a scientist who has made a study of the subject, were fractured stones that happened to have a sharp cutting edge. But the vegetable kingdom also furnishes very keen cutting edges in the leaves and stalks of certain plants, which might have been availed of before artificial knives were made. The fractured stone knife easily suggested the shaping of flaked stones,like flint, into the form of blades. Among the Seri Indians on Tiburon island, in the gulf of Cali- fornia, Lhe primitive custom of utiliz- ing fractured and water worn stones for knives still exists. ,Pat's Remedy. Pat Maguire had been misbehaving and appeared before his commanding officer charged for the third time with drunkenness. Pat stated his side of the case with all the eloquence at his command, but the colonel was unmoved. "Eight days in the guardhouse," he said. sternly. But in writing the s'8" on Pat's de- faulter sheet the pen spluttered. Pat noticed this and leaned forward. "Thry if 'twill make a '3' anny air- ier, sorr," he suggested in a persua- sive whisper. Norway's Way. All stock, foods, tonics and veter- inary preparations of every kind are classed as patent medicines in Nor- way. All patent medicines or pre- parations classified as such can be sold through druggists only and are subject to examination by a board called the medisinal Styrelsen. 3f found harmful or the claims made for them are misleading or 'if analysis shows that they are priced out of proportion to the cost of their ingre- dients their sale is forbidden. A Moralizing Burglar. From continental Europe comes the story of a burglar who left the follow- ing note pinned to the pillow in a mansion he had ransacked: "In the Bible it says, 'Lead us not into temp- tation.' You and your show of wealth tempted me, and I fell, though an honest workingman. Therefore you are the sinner, not I. Repent before it is too late." Borrowed Books. Whenever you lend a book jot down in a small blank book kept in a con- venient onvenient place for that purpose the date, the name of the person to whom the book is lentand the title of the book. This will prove a safeguard against losing books or forgetting where they are to the person who al- lows many books to be taken from his library, 'Teel "sea's— ' The Librarian's Chance.
