A concrete root cellar is always dry, clean and sanitary. It is
proof against heat, cold, water, fire :,nd rats. Although the
greater part of it is underground, it cannot crumble or rot
away. It is permanent and needs no repairs.

anythino less than an
Edison Phonograph
Throughout the history of sound reproduction Mr. Edison
has blazed the trail. Every important step has been con-
ceived first in his mind. He is the acknowledged master
of acoustics throughout the world. His recent triumph is
the Blue Amberol Record.
It came, after countless experiments, with all its strength of vol-
ume, sweetness of quality and lasting endurance. To bring out the
remarkable tone, of this new
record demanded a new repro-
ducer. He invented it—the
Diamond -Point Reproducer.
With it there is none of the an-
noyance of changing the needle
after each record. The diamond
is as much a part of the phono.•
graph as its beautiful cabinet. ,

to speak comfort to a dying man. He
who knew the views of those who
were taught by Christ in person, he
who heard the testimony of those who
saw the Risen Lord, cries: "We shall
not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed, in a =meet, in the twink-
ling of an eye, at the last trump—for
'the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed. For this mortal
MUST put on immortality." That is
the only comfort for a dying man,.
Text: °For thin mortal must put on
Immortellty."--1 Icor, xv:53.
I am not surprised that Mrs. Robert
G. Ingersoll was reported to have gone
to a spiritualistic medium to try to
establish communication. with her de-
parted husband. But is it not a strik-
ing example of the biting irony which
the changes of the years bring with.
them, that this woman, the widow` of
the man who held tenaciously that we
get no echo from the snowclad moun-
tain peaks of eternity, should listen,
after these intervening years, for the
echo of that same man's voice? And
no wonder she wanted to hear that
husband's voice again, with its mel.
low cadences and its prose -poetry. I
dare say, that his was the most elo-
quent voice ever heard on this con-
tinent. But what that voice saki was
cold; oh, so cold. His oration at his
brother's grave was a beautifully
carved block of ice, decorated with
frozen flowers. "Life is but a narrow
vale between the cold and barren peaks
of two eternities," said he, "and we
strive in vain to look beyond the
heights."
Is that a picture of life? Are we'
not rather on a wide, wide sea, looking
for a. shore line? We send out a dove,
hoping for an encouraging leaf; and
we drop an anchor, hoping to scrape
the ground; and we shout across the
waters, hoping to get back an answer:
And the mariners of all manner of
crafts ahead of us testify that their
dove brought back the green leaf, and
that their anchor sent up, the sound-
ings of shallow water, and that the
Watch of perfect vision has cried,
"Land!" and the ships pass from our
view with an eternal hope that also
possesses us as we follow them. And
as the evidences of land ahead mul-
tiply, we cry with Paul, "This cor-
ruptible' must put on incorruption, and
this mortal must put on immortality."
That is the only solace for a dying
man. Wherewithal shall I comfort
a man who knows that he is dying?
For the time comes when the sternest
will yields, and the strongest heart
says, "It is all elided, this struggle
for continued breathing. I am undone.
I am tired fighting disease. My armor
IS cloven; my sword is broken!" I
I had a friend, an old man of 70,
a mighty orator and an ecclesiastical
statesman, but that man had to die.
He had been fighting disease for 40
years; he was all WILL. By the dy-
namo of that will he had gone through
innumerable hardships. He fought hie
way through school against tremen-
dous odds, gaining scholarships and
medals. He had developed, himself
into a great preacher, drilled his voice,
perfected his memory, mastered the
arts of persuasive rhetoric. At 40, the
doctors told him he had a serious case
of diabetes, so he started to flghtdeath,
and he fought cheerily, with his will
for his weapon. He lived on the plains
est diet, refused the goodies which;
were pressed upon him wherever he
was entertained, exercised, walked,
rode horseback, answered the en-
quiries of bis solicitous friends by
Laughingly declaring that be felt as
blithe as any man could feel who was'
running round the block with the un-
dertaker after him, He., often said he
was •too busy to die. He wrote out
new sermons and lectures and coin-
m,ttted chapters to memoiy,.at au age
when average preachers would give
up the chase, especially if they had
a life office with a comfortable salary
such as he had. But the inevitable
hour arrived at last. Even so, when
his barque was pushed into the im-
penetrable mists beyond us all, he had
a smile on his lips and a cheer in his
heart that, to us who knew him,
seemed imperishable. When, a few
hours before his death a physician
'prepared for en operation, which had
to be made without the use of an
anaesthetic, and produced the surgical
instruments to the frightened gaze of
lois heart -rent wife, he smiled and
said, "Cheer up, my dear, I'd rather
have these fellows at -me .than an
undertaker." But that iron will gave
out that.' night, and he feebly mur-
mured, "I'm 'tired now; I think I must
rest upon the Everlasting ' Arms
awhile."
Tell me, now, how shall I comfort
such a hero when his will yields at
last?
You do it, infidel. Step -up to the
couch and say something, Speak up,
for he is so busy giving attention to
the effort of breathing that he hardly
has time to hear you. What is it that
you say? "Soon it will be all over,
and you will sleep the sleep that
knows no waking." I say, infidel, that
if that dying man still has his senses
with him, he will say, "I refuse to
sleep forever. I am tired, true; but
to sleep forever has no comfort to
me. I want to wane and have an-
other chance to work and laugh and
love."
You try it, materiallstic philosopher,
proud to be called a disciple of Mr.
Huxley, What is that you say? "Be
of good cheer, sir. You will soon dle,
It •ts true, but you will, after all, live
on. You will make first-class carbon
and ammonia, great food for plants.
Tbvi ox will eat the plants. Your pro-
geny will eat the o>T. and you will live
in your grandsons." Is that your
comfort? That man of iron will, if
he has any particle of energy left,
mock you with his dying breath.
You try it, pantheistic new -thought•
ist, you who have imported a bit of
Hindoo philosophy, re -labeling it with
a nihde-in.America name. What le it
that you say? "You will soon be a
part of Good. You will lose your

You are finite. The public man who
touches humanity et 80 many points
knows the difficulty. I went to shake
bands with L'Ir. Bryan when be was
in Toronto. Because I once lived in
Omaha, I thought it would be meet•
ing on common ground to say as I
passed him, "I'm from Omaha'." And
as h8 grasped§ any hand, and said,
"Hello, old man; I'm glad to see yeu
again, old fellow." There was no
time to do it, but I might have said,
"Say, old man, you cannot be very
glad, for you never saw me before
this minute, old pian. I've sat under
the spell of your bewitching oratory
old man, but never until now have I
clasped hands with you, old man."
Does that Mean that he was playing
the hypocrite? Not at all. He has
too Many friends, that's all, Ile can't

For Paul's "must" is the inevitable
sequence , to his reasoning, The
"must" follows necessary hypotheses.
When the evidence is all in --the uni-
versal belief in immorality, the God-
given yearning of every soul that ever
came to maturity, the intuition of our
'own hearts, the promises of Him whose
lips never moved to tell a lie—the
"must" follows as a necessary verdict
of the jury of human intelligence. We
use the word as does the geometrician
when he uses the process of exclusion.
Whn it cannot be otherwise by any
conceivable stretch of the imagination,
then it MUST be so. "If it, were not
so, I would have told you."
The "must" alone satisfies our idea
of fairness. Somewhere we received
the theory of immortality. Search,
`where you may, you will find no race
'or tribe, without the dream of im-
mortality. All nations have looked
ahead to a future state. The Great
Father must have had something to
do with this human expectancy. Sure-
ly it would not be fair to cheat us.
!Alfred Tennyson voices our univer-
sal argument:
1"Thou wilt not leave us in the dust;
Thou madest man, he knows not why;
He thinks he was not made to die,
And Thou hast made him; Thou art
• just,"
And the "must" lies in our own
consciousness. We know that for God
!to wipe us out just as we are begin-
ning to work and learn and love would
;be a waste. That is not conceit. That
is a divine self-consciousness. We
'know we have not finished our task.
We have hardly had time to learn to
do one thing well.. Does a man come
to you looking for work, and do you
ask what he can do, and does he say
he can work at any one of seven
trades? You are justified in doubting
that assertion. You say, how can a
man learn. seven trades in one short
life -time? He does not learn his trade
like the beaver learns his trade, of
dam -building, or the duckling acquires
its habit of swimming. But then the
beaver does not build the dam one
whit better than his ancestors did
theirs a thousand years ago. And the
duck will not learn to swim any bet.
ter than she did last year in spite of
all the lessons of a master of aquatics.
Man is the only learning animal, and
he has barely time to learn to do one
thing well. That throat specialist hag
just returned from Vienna. What was
he doing there? Oh, learning one more
'way to operate on the throat or nose,
That lawyer with white hair declares
that he has just learned how to draw
up complaints. That old literary man
has just read a few of the books in
the world's library. That traveler
bas just touched a few of earth's
shores. That mathematician has just
solved a few problems. To do more,
this mortal must put on immortality.
If this life be all, it is surely a
waste. Victor Hugo said: "For half
a century I have been writing my
thoughts in prose and verse, History,
philosophy, drama, romance, tradition,
satire, ode, song. But I feel that I
have not said a thousandth part of
what is in nie. When I go down to
tha grave •I shall have finished my
day's work, Another day Will begin
next morning!"
What intellectual possibilities hath
God set within us! Just when a man
knows how to do a thing fairly well,
he hobbles and creeps and staggers.
Benjamin Franklin wrote this as his
own epitaph: "The body of Benjamin
Franklin, printer (like the cover of
an old book, its contents torn out,
and stripped of its lettering and gild-
ing), lies here, food for worms; yet
the work itself shall not he lost, for
it will (as he believes) appear once
more in a new And more beautiful
edition, corrected and amended by the
author."
Sir Isaac Newton crowded a mar-
vellous list of achievements into a
•short ;life. His very toys were me-
chanical ingenuities. Before twenty
three he had given the world the
Pinomlal Theorem and had enriched
mathematical science in many ways.
But even he testified: "I do not know
what I may appear to the world, but
to myself I seem to have been only
like a boy playing oti the seashore
and diverting myself in now and then
finding a 'Smoother pebble or a pret-
tier shell than ordinary, while the
great ocean of truth lay undiscovered
before me.".
How many friends have you? Not
the distant acquaintances to whom
you say, "Goad morning," but real
chutes. Not more than you can count
on your fingers, I'll vouch. Why
haven't you more? Because you can.
not contain them, I submit. You are
too small. Your mind, your heart,
your memory, cannot bold over•many.
needs concentrate our love on one
wife, a few bairnies, a score of tried
and true' friends and a host of ac-
quaintances. We need greater in-
tellects, greater hearts, more time.
,As our hair whitens we aro just be-
ginning to love. Ask that husband,
or that wife, bidding farewell to the
life partner of fifty years, and the
answer will come, "We were just be-
ginning to really understand and ap-

Keep One Milk Record For
Each Cow.
Within the next few weeks several
hundred cheese factories will be open-
ing, hundreds of far mere will be pro-
pKring to milk thowands of freshly
calved cows, Logically date beginning
of a new season is the time to cora
mence keeping records of production
of the cows separately. Justa know-
ledge of the total yield of milk from
the whole herd may give the owner an
idea of the average yield per cow, but
that does not give quite enough in-
formation, They may be a thousand
pounds of milk difference in the total
yield of two cows for the season,
which would be unnoticeable in the
small difference in the appearance of
their two milk pails daily. Often the
difference is far more than a thousand
pounde, yet all cows are lumped to-
gether, good, poor and medium, all
alike, when taking merely au average..
Since keeping records of individual
production many a dairyman has in-
creaeed the average of his herd by
fifteen hundred, and two thousand
pounds of milk or more, because be
bas been able to detect the poor, un-
profitable cows that marquerade as
real dairy cows. Oa application to
the Dairy Division, O:t"awa, milk re-
cord forms and instructions are sup-
plied free. Writs to -day, and begin

Non'Agriculturai Land Should
Be Reserved,
The Minnesota State Forestry As-
sociation is agitating for an amend -
meet to the state constitution, to pro-
vide ter the retention as forest reserves
of all 'tate lands found upon examine-
tion to be unsuitable for agricultural
purposes. At present, such lands may
be filed upon under the guise of home•
steads, but, after the removal of the
timber—and possibly an attempt at
fardring, foredoomed to failure --the

went to lands clearly suitable for that
purpose, and retain the uon.agrioul-.
tural lands for permanent forest pro-
ductiop.
This same problem arises in many
parts of Canada, in a similar way.
Previously, there was no direction of
agricultural settlement, and, as a
result, 'much non-agricultural timber
land was taken ,up urider the bome-
atead laws. This tendency was par.
Ocularly strong at the time lumbering
operations were being carried on. At
that Urns the homesteader was able to
find winter work in the woods, as well
as an excellent market for the agri-
cultural produce that could be raised
during the few years that . elapsed
before the surface fertility of the soil,
deaiyed from the decayed mould from
fallen leaves and branches, was ex-
hausted. In many cases, settlers have
been stranded on these poor lands,
and have become so impoverished Mutt
they are wholly unable to move away
and settle on lands really suitable for
farming. More recently, the provincial
governments have made attempts at
directing settlement, but the pressure
for the opening up of timber Janda
has been strong, and arguments that
the lands are suitable for agriculture
have been so strongly urged that the
attempts to withold lands essentially
non-agricultural have in many cases
been unsuccessful:
