Verse of National Anthem The Anglican Synod declined to order the restoration of the second verse of the National Anthem. Some took the ground that the words were un-christian like in sentiment. Perhaps they are, but not any more so than many ex- pressions in the Psalms and Holy Scriptures, wbiob are used every Sabbath for the instruction of Christians. So that cannot be the real trouble concerning the second verse of'the National Anthem. Possibly the queer construotioll of the verse, its lack of rythn4 or rhyme, bas as much as anything to do with the lack of popularity of this verse.

Sir Richard McBribe, Prime Minister of British Columbia, has issued the following statement. "It has been decided, after careful consideration, to submit the whole; question of the liquor traffic to a plebiscite of the electorate. The' date of the plebiscite will be an-, nounced as soon as it is decided what shall form a basis of the re- ferendum. I may say it intended to direct the course of the legislat Compulsory Service In Canada A. good deal of misconception prevails concerning compulsory service in Canada. In Glreat Bri- tain before compulsory a rbice Can Ise introduced special legislation roust be enacted. Not so in Cana- da. The Militia Act of 1904 pro- vides all the power and machinery for the operation of compulsory service, and could be set going at any _ time deemed necessary. In section 2 the following provision is made: "All the male inhabitants of Can- ada of the age of 18 years and up- wards and under 60; not exempt or disqualified by law, and being British subjects, shall be liable to. serve under in the militia. The governor; general may require all the male inhabitants of Canada capable of bearing arms to serve in the case of a levee en masse." Those liable to serve are given in section 15 of the act and are di- vided into four classes, viz: 1. Those between the ages of 18 and 30 wlio are unmarried or wi- dowers without children. 2. Those of the ages between 30 and 45 who are unmarried or w'. - dowers without children. 3. Those of the ages between 18 and 45 who are married or widow- ers with children. 4. Those of the ages between 45 and 60. The male population may be called out in this order. and- the method of enrolment is left to the governor -in -council, who has su- preme power to determine that matter. The terms used in section 27 are: "When men are required to or- ganize at any time either for train - honey For Red. Cross Guelph, Sept, 101,h,1915.

While these are no doubt the most extensive of the ten thousand beekeepers in the province, the total crop must be quite large. While we are enjoying abundance in this and other crops I an sure that every beekeeper will be glad to learn that arrangements have been made with the Canadian Red Cross Society, whereby we may share our honey with our Canadian boys of overseas contingents who are fighting our battles so bravely, or are lying wound- ed in hospital?. This is a war in which every British subject is concerned.

The Stamp Revenue Continuing its persistent policy of making party capital against the Government in wartime, the Win- nipeg Free Press denounces the war tax postage stamp as "admit- tedly a failure,"because it "brings in no additional revenue." The answer to this unfair and baseless attack is furnished by the latest revenue statement from Ottawa. )' The incomefr om the Post Office De-1 for Aug., 1915, is mere than 1 double that for August, 1914.

Per instance, if we wish to praise a book or a picture we say, It is a Sem." We do this because a gain is the most precious thing that we cavi 'possess -the only cone ate esartiii1e air "infinite riches in little room." s To be a gem a thing must have, the -finest natural qualities, enriched and per- fected by art, "and tiydlen pro say that a thing is a gem we mean that it is the perfection of its kind, a finished product about which no further or 'iligher praise is possible. But calling a thing a "gem" is only one metaphor. There are rlany others, but in all cases the Word we use instead of what we mean dbnotes the existence of some qualit, in the thing described that is only reached in the thing we name in its stead. This suggests a mehhod of determin- ing the things in Nature and art that are perfect, for onl7 the perfect things 'are used as metaphors: Their per- fections may vary but in every ease a perfection is indicated, Among our fruits there are tato that are used as metaphors oftener than any other and by that fact we may judge of their surpassing quality. Ono is used in public life and the other in everyday life. In plibiic, life the man who secures a high position, a favor or a contract that will enrich him, is said to have got "a plum." This suggests. that he 'has got some- thing that all men earnestly desire, something so packed full of rdchness and all goodness that it can only be .described by sailing, it a plum -the fruit of which a celebrated" horticul- turist, E.,P. Powell, says that "It con- tains more richness than any other fruit." It is rich in color, flavor and odor and as satisfying to the palate as it is to the eye. It is for this reason) that it has gained its political signifi- cance as a metaphor. As the fruit most perfect and ribh of its 'kind it suggests to the greedy politicians what they most desire -and one of them who has been so fortunate as 1Q secure a plum never wants anything else all his life but more •pYums. And the plums, when they are ripe are entirely worthy of the high regard ' they receive from housewives at; wel as politicians. Our other inetaphotricaI fruit le the peach. Just listen to some youth_say- ing of a beautiful girl that' "She is a peach" and even if you hal never tasted a peach you would know that it must be sweet, beautiful and ex- quisite, just as we all know that it is. The peach is the one thing that we can use without offence as a meta- phor for a beautiful girl and there is nothing more alluring and perfect that we can use as a metaphor for a peach. To say that a peach is a peach is the highest praise we can bestow on it unless we say that it is "a Canadian ' peach" for our "made in Canada" peaches are admitted to surpass all other peaches as much. as they sur- pass all other fruits. .Canadians. have a right to bE proud of them and Co be fond of them and the housewiin who puts up a Plentiful supply of them 14 the one who is most gert>tiit to be regarded by ill r htl8b81li aII4 her children as "A Peach," f • f r.

It is needless to expect a flock to lay equally well at all time. A flock, that has laid heavily during the winter will' generally slow up towards the middle of the summer and when they begin to moult, but when the egg yield drops rapidly until it practically ceases without any apparent reason, suspect vermin. Of all the many varieties of vermin that in#eat fowl the Red Mite is the most troublesome. - Unlike the ordin- ary hen louse they are not as a rule found on the fowl, neither are they killed by dusting, as the ordinary body louse is. Thesepests breed very rapidly especially during the hot weather, usually in cracks containing filth or In dirty nesting material They are not red In colour as is pope• larly supposed, but gray; it ie only after they have come into contact with the fowl and have become filled with blood that they appear red. The young mites are white and have only six lege but after casting their skins, which they do several times, they have eight lege. The cast ekine may be seen like a white powder around the perches, this often being the first indication of the presence of mites. They are able to live and reproduce for months without animal food, the first food of the young probably, being filth or decayed wood. They thrive best in dark dirty houses, and have been found to exist iu houses the fol- lowing season after the fowl bad been 1'74 1A• ...I. arl Ver 4110 %A•4 *TA ►lr e.. q ♦ ati *M se.e.. .I: *lG e/. .iG /Or JIG e.. .IG e/. ►iG e/.

They usually attack the birds at night but are sometimes f Lund on laying hens and they fre- quently drive broody hens from the nest, They pierce the skin with their- needle-like heirneedle-like jaws and suck the blood, after which they retire to the eeclu- don of the cracks and crevices of the rooste, nests or other parts of the house. They will bite scan or other mammals causing severe irritation, but they never remain on them for any length of time. If the fowl are not doing well and on examition are thinner than they should be, a sharp lookout -should be kept for mites. At night they may be seen either on the fowl or running along the perches; in the day time examine the cracks and crevices of the rooste and walla closely, or lift the roosts and examine the places where they come in contact with the sup - parte. If mites are found to be In ;- sent the first step in banishing them is .to give the house a thorough cleaning. Remove all droppings and old nesting material, scrape and sweep out every particle of dirt and burn it. Then if you are so fortunately eituated that you ba}e water pressure at your com- mand, turn on the Bose with as much preseure as you can get, forcing the water into every crack; if, es is the case on west farms you cannot use this method, it is advisable to scrub down the walls with a brush or old broom but in any case they should be, thoroughly sprayed or painted with a good strong disinfectant. This wash should be repeated in a few days. to destroy the mites which hatch after the first application. The disinfect tant may be applied with a hand spray pump or if such is not available, a ,rush will do, but in either case Has fluid ehould be used liberally° and every crack flooded. Fresh air and sunlight are wonder- ful disinfectants and combined with cleanliness are preventives against most of the ills of the poultry yard. One of the very beet disinfectants to use against mites is made as follows: Dissolve one pound and a half con- centrated lye in as email a quantity of water as possible. It will be t ecessary to do this two or three hours before it is required as the lye should be cold wben used. Put three quarts of raw linseed oil into a Ove ' gallon stone crock, and pour•in the lye very slowly, stirring meanwhile,' Keep on stirring until a emooth liquid soap is produced, then gradually add two gallons of either crude carbolic acid or commer- pial cFesol st'►rring'constantly until the e u in fluid is a clean dat k brown. reit g w Fee two or three tablespoonfuls of the giixture to a gallon of water. The foregoing is offered as a' most effeptive remedy against gaiter; hut those who regard the preparation -of tl1e paixture as too much wot}r, may use a good strong solution of "4enol- eum't or any other crpolin preparation. Ordinary coal oil will kill mites but as it evaporates quickly the effects are not so lasting. An excellent "paint" to apply to the roosts and nest boxes is composed of one part crude carbolic to three or four parts coal oil. Even after the house has been clean- ed, the cracks in the rooste and nest. bbxes should be flooded at regular Int- ervale throughout the summer either with the forementioned "paint" or -with coal oil, This will go far to keep the pests in check but it must be regarded simply, as a check and the thorough or annual house cleaning described alcove put into effect as soon as possi• ble. To facilitate the ease with which this house cleaning may be done all fixttirt a suclr as reoste or nest boxes ahoutd bemade movable, If they' are stationary at present advantage sbou)d be taken of the first rainy dny to change' theca. It W111 be time well spent. Ili DAVIS ISSUER? 01' MARRIAGE LICENSES (()r) CI.15TOM LFf`10E, WINCRAM KING BROS., Northway Shape Keeping in Coats in Latest Styles ' .
