Toronto - - Ontario GOT MUNI( ON A BEEFSTEAK And Also on Overstrong Tea and Even on Cold Water. According to a house surgeon in a London hospital, it is not necessary to take strong drink at all in order to be drunk. Cases have been known in which patients have got drunk on a beefsteak after having been for many weeks on a very light diet. The in- toxication In these cases showed it- self in a slight dizziness and drowsi- nese and indistinctness of speech. Similar cases have been known in which the only intoxicant has been strong tea. In fact, there are instances in medical books of exceptional people in whom the constant use of over. strong, overdrawn tea has brought about distinct symptoms of delirium tremens: Perhaps the most curious sort of in- toxication on record is that in which the only intoxicant is cold water drip- ping from a water tap into the ear. In Germany a few years ago quite a number of morbid people bad a crav- ing for this curious way of inducing drunkenness, but it seems to have been stamped out, The drip of the water is said to cause a�caful boiling sensation at first encdd•fhen' use a pleasant drow- siness, endin, deep sleep.

Riotous Sport In the Breakers That t -ash the Coast of Hawaii. -One of the novel pleasures in which 'most travelers indulge while in Hono- luin Is surf riding at Waikiki, near Dia wund need,' writes John Bur- roughs in the Century. "The sea, with a hoof' of lava and coral, is here shal- low for a long distance out, and the surf comes in at intervals like a line of steeds cantering over a plain. We went out in our bathing suits in a long, heavy dngout, with a native oarsman in each end. "When several hundred yards from shore we saw on looking seaward the tong, shining billows coming, where- upon our oarsmen beaded the canoe toward shore and plied their paddles 'with the utmost vigor, uttering simul- taneously a curious, excited cry. in a nlon)pnt the breaker caught us and, in someway bolding us on its crest, shot as toward the shore like an arrow. "The sensation is novel and thrilling. The loam files; the waters leap about yon. You are coasting on the sea, and you ,sbt with delight and pray for the ;:;,is,+tion to continue. But it is utile °.'aver. The hurrying breaker slips f • ,ander you and leaves you in the trough, while It goes foaming on the shore. Then you turn about and row out from shore again and wait for another chance to be shot to- ward the land on the toaming crest of a great Pacific wave." • Turn to the Earth.

Practical Piety. The goodly minister saw one of his parishioners running rapidly down the road, trying to keep in sight of a re tread ig form ahead. "Ah," called the minister. "whither away, my brother?" Seeing the race was lost anyway, the chaser stopped and pantingly replied: "That confounded thief stole my coati" "Ab, and you were following the Scriptural admonition to give him your cloak also, were yon?" "No," said the parishioner frankly, "but I intended, if 1 caught him, to give him a belt!" -Judge. Italy's Marriage Brokers. In Italy marriage brokers are a rev - Jar institution. They have pocketbooks filled with the names of marriageable maidens in various ranks of life and go about trying to arrange matches. When they are successful they receive a commission, and very likely some thing extra as a voluntary gift from their customer. Hood's Bit of Fun.

INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY CONGRESS. mind of the tourists would not be the least advantage to be derived from such forests. Fixed and Working Capital, On the average the profits from a farm increase directly with an increase of working capital. Working capital is represented. by the stock and equip- ment of the farm. Fixed capital is that tied up in land, buildings and perma- nent improvements. Down in Wiscon- sin an investigator found that when the working capital represents thirteen and a half per cent. of the total invest- ment the profits were $167.78 for each farms thus studied. If an increase of working capital was made to 17.7 per cent. the profits were $433.65. Increase the working capital to 28,8 per cent. of the total capital, and the profits climb- ed to $1,628.35. make it 33.3 per cent. and we have a profit per farm of $3,- 51.1.33. These figures should set every farmer thinking, especially those starting or struggling with little capital. Much as you might like a new house, or a new buggy or nicer fences, money spent in that way is unproductive. It would be better to look to future returns and buy more profitable dairy cows, better hens or some labor-saving device. Then when the farm is all paid for and the owner gets on "easy street" more capi- tal may safely be placed in permanent improvements. This congress, to which representa- tives came from every continent on the globe and which was probably the lar- gest Forestry Congress ever held, met for the purpose of studying economic and technical forestry problems', and of legislative and adminstrative reforms in order to secure tha conservation of soil erosion and reforesting of waste lands. Such subjects as the right of the state to regular private forest property or to expropriate misused and denuded forest lands to insure public safely from an international view -point. This state right has long been recognized in Eur- ope where lands on watersheds can be expropiated unless managed by the owner according to strict Government regulations and an adequate forest cover maintained. The Federal Gov- ernment of the United States has also recently given expressions to this right by the Weeks Bill, passed in 1911 for the acquisition of lands necessary to protect the watersheds and navigabili- ty of navigable rivers. By exerting promptness arid foresight, the Dominion Government has been able to forestall � irivate occupation of the forest area on the east slope of the Rockies and on other iiiiportpt watersheds, but should the necessity arise, its legal right to expropiate private land for the public benefit, seems to be borne out by the policy followed by other countries. A feature of striking significance in this Forestry Congress at Paris, inter- national in representation and interna- tionalin its scope, was that this Con- gress was conceived, organized and brought to a successful fruition by the Touring Club of France, a body having no direct interest in the promotion of forestry. This club, composed of some of the most influential men in France, realized the esthetic value of the Forest to the nation -a point which is almost entirely overlooked in Canada at present. If in Canada, as in Europe, our railways and national highways were bordered by beautiful tracts sof forest land, instead of the bare, barren, fire -swept' wastes so prevalent at present, the money value of such an influence on the DID NOT KNOW IN NAT IT W A S TO BE RIO OF BOILS.

Accidents on Farms. As a general thing rural life is de- picted as being free from the rush and anxiety that accompanies the fast pace of cities. We are apt to think of coun- try life as being without exposure to accidents and violent deaths. The de- spatches of the last few months have shown, however, that some of the most violent deaths have taken place in the Country. • Only the other day came the story of three children burned to death in a farm house. The day before it was a little three year -old -boy run over by a heavy wagon around which he was playing with his dog, Then there was a little chap thrown from a farm wagon when the horses shied at a passing auto. Lightning pranks are always more dead- ly in the rural districts, and the sum- mer months add their quota of acci- dents under this head. The truth is that the farm is not void of danger spots., Being brought up where horses and cattle are kept, the children become used to them, and very often lose sight of the danger of being too familiar. The boy in the city is constantly warned of the dan- ger of being too familiar. The boy in the city is constantly warned of the dangers of the streets, and almost by instinct he learns to beware of them. According to population it would prob- ably be found that the majority of ac- cidents take place outside the cities. MODERN GIRLS. Our modern girls are talented,in fifty- seven ways; I'm full of admiration when I watch their skillful plays. One dam- sel wears her brother's clothes and at the tennis court convinces all the look- ers on that she's a nifty sport; another drives a motor car with wondrous grace and ease, and runs down a pedestrian and breaks him at the knees; another takes her fountain pen and writes a gripping book; they all are wonders in their way, but mighty few can cook! I read of girls on aeroplanes, and girls who practice law, and dentist girls who dig the teeth from out our aching jaw; and preacher girls and painter girls are everywhere I look; they're demonstrat- ing lots of things • but mighty few can cook. And in a million gloomy homes good grub is being spoiled, and wives are busy frying things which rightly should be boiled; they're busy baking loaves of bread as hard as brick or stone; they ruin everything they touch, while heartsick husbands groan; they do not know a chicken from a buzzard or a rook; they're great on elocution, but they don't know how to cook. Oh, I am full of sympathy, my good old bosom aches, for husbands who must fill themselves with charred and stringy steaks, who once bad dreams of pleasant home and cheerful ingle- nook, and hooked up with the gifted girls who never learned to cook.

I was unable to do anything and my weight dropped from 145 to 125 pounds. I suf- fered for about two months when I was advised to use Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I used two bottles of it and it gave me perma- nent relief," writes B. W. Hill of Snow Hill, N. C. For sale by all dealers. Why Servants Are Scarce, The Winnipeg Telegram says the scarcity of domestic servants is a good sign -a condition growing out of the devolopment of a new country. "Women do 'housework' In Canada. It is not a `service,' as understsod in the older countries. It promises little and is regarded as temporary, In Win- nipeg, as all over the West, the most desirable servant is the ambitious woman or Ulan who is saving money to secure an education, to enable them to acquire a trade or a position of greater independence. It is to their credit that it is so. They are typical of the coun- try, where everyone hopes to improve his or her condition, buoyed up with The knowledge that there are no 'el :ss' limitations. Your waitress of t• .lay is the prefessional nurse of to -mo: row. It is that spirit and that hope on which Canada builds her future. There are n'1 'serving classes,' but we pin our faith to useful service, congenial em- ployment. The very restlessness of the maid in the house is an evidence of the great hopeful age in which we live, the democracy of the Dominion, which ren- ders it so attractive to the people of all countries." THE KITCHEN. It must be very light. Tiles are ideal wall coverings. White oilcloth is a second choice. Wood moldings will cover the tack- ing. A light bracket should be over the range, A wicker chair is equally comfort- able for mistress or maid. A sensible woman had an extra cup- board put in for her maid. In it are mending and writing implements and a book or s0. The use of casseroles should be en- couraged. The labor of keeping them clean is as nothing compared with Metal pans. $100 REWARD, stem The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be- ing a constitutional disease requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca- tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucuous sur- faces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giv- ing the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

The Sani tary Kitchen - When one's mind pictures the up-to- date and thoroughly attractive kitchen, it is usually of the white -tiled. nickel - trimmed, glass -shelved variety, over- shadowed immediately by the disheart- ening thought, "money." ' True. as the Ladies' World says, a very perfect and a very beautiful kitchen does require money, but, at little expense, one may also have a hygienic and an agreeabie place in which to work. Especially is this so at the present time, when the general question of sanitation is upper- most in the public mind, and manu- facturers are trying with one another in offering all sorts of inducements in salutary kitchen fittings at popular prices. A clean floor with a hard, smooth surface, well -painted walls and wood- work in some light color, a can of white enamel paint for shelves and pantry, a judicious selection of modern, labor-saving devices, the daily use of the common household chemicals, plenty of sunshine and fresh air and lo, the sanitary kitcnen. As a sink strainer is always a ne- cessity. why not have a white enameled one' which is much more attractive and easily cleaned than the usual tin one? Practical and most sanitary are the many kitchen devices in glassware. The covered jars for holding supplies, the measuring cup, the dishes for butter and other foods, are not new but worthy of a reminder. Face To Face WITH A Serious Problem. BAD WATER WAS THE CAUSE, MRS. EDWARD KINGSTON, Mirror, Alta., writes:-" Coining to the North- west from B.C., in the summer of 19101 we were face to face with the serious pro• blem of being able to secure good drink- ing water; this we could not get, so were obliged to drink water containing a great deal of alkali, with the result that we were all troubled with Diarrhoea. For- tunately, we had a bottle of DR. Pow - s, ta'S EXTRACT OF WILD STRAWBERRY in the house which soon relieved out sufferings. I have always kept a bottle in the house since obtaining such benc. ficial results from its use when my boy as a baby was similarly troubled. 'It has always proved a friend in need.' " There are many imitations of "DB. FoWLER's". When you ask for the well- known article, insist on being • given it.
