The least noise would make me nervous, I was told to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound and I have taken seven bottles. It has made me strong- er and put more color into my face.

This is an increase of approximately 1138,000 persons over the same date last year when the estimated popula- ton was 9,658,000. The report, cove ".E3O1L(NG IApm " • TApm.010- -MA 1AtA 0 Bring the years 1921-29, inclusive, further showed, the Dominion papule tion had increase by more than 1; 000,000 perhaps during that period. In 1921 the census recorded 8,788,- 488 persons. With the exception of Prince Ednanrcl Island and the Yukon all of the, provinces injoyed increases in population during that twelve months ending June lst last. Prince Edward's island's estimated decrease was 300 persons. The Yukon lost approximately 500 people of its people. Ontario still continues by far the most populated of the pro- vinces, the estimates reveal, and along with Quebec' enjoyed almost substantial increase in population during the period, under view.

ARET_, The Car Owner's Scrap -Book FARMEPS MUST (By the Left Hand Monkey Wrench) CLEAN-UP T H E CYLINDER CARBONIZATION Excessive carbonization in one cylinder generally can be traced to a bad set of piston rings, which al- lows too much oil to pass into the combustiop chamber. The installa- tion 9f new rings is necessary in such cases to remedy the trouble. SAVES POS.S;1BLE COLLISION '1'he approaching lights of oncom- ing cars are annoying, especially when driving on at narorw road at night. Never look directly at the lights but keep the eyes focused on the ground about a hundred feet ahead of the car and near the right side of the road. New drivers will find it easier to trail directly behind another car. WORTH REMEMBERING 1Iany drivers forget to oil the bearings of the electric starting mo- tor and generator. Usually these in- struments ere located in p' 'it -of - way place, but, nevertheless, they should receive very careful ottent- ion. A little oil at frequent inter- vals will sidetrack expensive repair bills. Electrical instruments of this kind are somewhat delicately con- structed- and expensive. CHEAP OIL IS POOR ECONOMY Lubricating oil that is sold at a eery low price cannot have the qual- ity that great care and laborious at- tention'atlord. Cheap oil has not the resistance to chemical changes which produce sulphuric acid that a more carefully made possesses, Free sul- phuric acid in the oil reservoir of an engine is highly destructive to bear- ings and finished surfaces with which it comes in contact. SPRINGS PROVIDE COMFORT The poor riding quality of a car lies directly in the springs. They trust be• properly lubricated, as this condition means that fractional qualities will be reduced, and in do- ing that one inevitably cuts the effic- iency of the spring. Jack up the body to relieve the presure on the. springs and in this way, it will be easy to pry the leaves apart for pro - 'per cleaning and oiling. AIR PRESSUSE IN BALLOON TtREti ,Balloon' tires need a correct am. Bunt of air pressure just as engines need a sufficient quality of gasoline, oil and inflation of two or three pounds will cut hundreds Of miles from n balloon tire's period of ser- vice, Properly inflated balloon tires will travel approximately as far as tires ten pounds over the recommen- ed figure. On an under -inflation test, it _was found that as little as six pounds under the correct pres- sure reduced comparative mileage about 25 per cent. WHEN A CAR LACKS PEP Check the following when the car begins to lose its usual snap and ap• pears sluggish : Dragging brakes, Manifold gasket leaks, improper valve clearance. Early or late ignition timing. Fouled or improper gapped spark plugs, Worn or improper spaced breaker points. Shortage of fuel due to clogged line or screens. Faulty carburetors adjustment high or low float level. Never choke the carburetor when the car is climbing a hill. . Because of their soft alloy, radia- tor ornaments will not stand hard knocks. Dust the casing with powdered soapstone to reduce friction from prolong life of tubes. Lyse brakes sparingly when driv- ing over rough roads and springs will be less likely to break. Glare from the t :r rienv mirror at night is due to dust on the rear ,window as well as on the mirror. Looseness is the real cause of noisy and screechy brakes, and, when in this condition, it is dangerous to drive the car.

Besides losing his field of grain Victor Bloch of Brooke township, Lambton county must pay the cost of the expedition headed by town- ship Weed Inspector Milton which on Thursday, raided his farm and cut down a field of grain infested with sow thistles. Under the weed control act of 1927, according to officials of the provincial department of agriculture, persons who have refused to remove weeds on their 'premises must pay the cost of removal by the township In the event of the bill not bs'mg paid, it will be charged against the property on the taxpolls. The raid on Black's farm was purely a municipal matter under- taken by the township, 'Queen's park officials say. They add, however, that to their knowledge it was an ex- treme measure employed after every other means of discipline had been exercised without avail. Public opinion is demanding the war-to-tileeknife campaign which the government and the townships are waging against noxious weeds, ac- cording to executives oil the depart- ment. Weeds got a good start in On- tario this spring owing to the wet- ness of May, declared a, A. Carroll, who as head off the co-operative and marketing branch, has charge of weed control. Every effort is being made to overcome this handicap, he said, in order to save this year's crop and lessen the inevitable spread of Weeds next year.., In the Lambton district where the "raid" was made, this was the first appearance of sow thistle and offici- als consequently were on the alert to stop it. Sow thistle spreads, itis computed at the rate of 20 miles per year. According to Mr, Carroll there are many men living in areas now badly infested who can remember clearly when the first growth appear ed. • Once apathetic in regard to weeds, farmers now are becoming watchful Mr. Carroll stated. During the summer he receives on an average of 100 letters a week from farmers and others • complain- ing of bad seed beds, These prove of groat assistance `to the four' dist- rict inspectors appointing under the Sunday School .Les von BY OHARI.ES (+i.

Belshazzar's story ought to be ,,ublished: verbatim, in large type,' In every newspaper .and magazine of the world to -day. For if there is any Bible story the world needs peculiar- ly to -day, it is Beishazzar"s. It reads as though it were written just for our generation. This very fact is an evidence of the undying char- acter and inspiration of the Bible, for the story was .timely and needed two and a half .millenniums ago, and It. is - timely and needed to -day ; human nature has not changed, Goti has not changed, the Word of God has not changed, and it is always up to -date. Babylonia had ever been the great ust empire this world has,ever known It literally ruled the whole world under Nebuchadnezzar. Some twen- ty-five years after Nebuchnezzar's time it was ruled by Belshazzar's reigning or under his father, Naboni- dus, a victorious general; Belshaz- car seems to have been the grand - .son of Nebuchadnezzar, though cony' mentators differ as to this. At the height of his glory and. power, living in supreme selfishness, Belshazzar made feast ror 1000 men of high rank. It was an occasion of lust and drunkenness. As a final. touch of arrogant pride and insolent blasphemy he sent for the golden vessels looted from the temple at Jereusalem when Nebuchadnezzar took that city ; these sacred vessels were filled with wine, and men and women at the feast drank•from them while they lauded their pagan "gods of gold, and of silver, end of brass,, of iron, of wood, and of stone." Self-sufficient man was snapping his fingers in the face of God and proclaimng his own sufficiency. Then something happened. The fin- ger of a man's band appeared on the banqueting room in the King's pal- ace and, wrote strange letter:. As king saw it, he dropped in spirit like a plummet from his self-made heaven to a God -made hell. His "countenance was changed," his strength gone, "his knees smote against one another." Worst of all, he could not read' the writing, nor could any ono else. He sent for his astrologers and soothsayers and offered royal re• wards to any interpreter, with pro- motion to the rank of third ruler in the kingdom, They were all as baff- led as the king. Then ' the queen came into the banquet hall and re. minded Belshazzar of Daniel. He had greatly helped Ring Nebuchad- nezzar ; he had an excellent spirit and understanding interpreting of dreams, and ,hewing of hard sent- ences, and disolving of doubts," and in him was "the spirit of the holy gods." They had better send for Daniel, They did so Belshazzar questioned lain, paid him high compliments, and offered hint the promised promotion in the 'kingdom if he would read tate writing and make known the inter- pretation. nterpretation. Apparently the words of the mysterious writing could not even be read, much less their inter- pretation. Daniel modestly disclaimed any re- ward, then he went straight to the buiiness for which be hoe summon- ed, but in an amazing way., ' He preached a sermon to the king in the presence of the thousand lords and nobles and the beautiful womtn. What a picture it makes to one's imagination t The vast banqueting listuning fn condemnation and few lo evea;y*word. I)aniei reminded Belshazzar QC had absolute power over toe wholer world, even of life and dearth, I3ut, when his heart was lifted up in pride he was deposed from his throne, Brix en from men, lived like a wild beast in the fields, and this continued "till he knew that the most high Gott ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he . appointeth over it whonso- over He will" Nebuchadnezzar had learned that lesson, and was permit- ted to conte back to his throne, and then he publicly worsnlpped and honored God, Belshazzar knew all this, and, in the face of it had rejecceu God, de- filed God, lived as though God were itot, worshipped god of silver and gold, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear, or know, "and the God in whose hand thy ' breath is, and whose are all thy ways, haat thou not glorified." Belshazzar .had: had his chalice, and: had flung it frons him. His. Kingdom therefore, was to be taken from him and his life, The words written on the wall by the mysterious hand, which he could not even read, were : "Mene, Mene, 'i ekel, Upharsin." "Mene : God hath, numbered thy kingdom and finished it." "Tekel : Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting." "Peres : Thy kingdom is divided and given to the Medea and Per- thins." ertions." Belshazzar kept his promise and Promoted Daniel. God kept his promise and 'demoted Belshazzar. The chapter ends in that terse, graphic eloquence which the Bible alone has among all the books of the word. ''In that night was Belshaz- zar the King of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the Kingdom, being about three score and two years old." A century and three-quarters be- fore this, one of God's inspired pro- phets had predicted the .downfall of I3abylon which Belshazzar precipi- tated. The prophecy is found is Isaiah 21 :1-9. Taking The Crop Without the Bee's Knowledge The method of taking off the crop, now developed by the beekeep- ers, disorganizes as Iittle es possible this obviates robbing and will not in- terrupt the :bees in their work ; fur- thermore, it makes the work of re- moving the crop a great deal more pleasant because if carefully done, the bees need not be greatly disturb - el. This method is by using bee es- capeboards. These boards consist of wooden frames that just fit on top of a super or hivebody. At two op- posite corners on this frame work are inserted bee escapes. These bee escapes allow the bees to pasta through but, owing to the construe- tion onstruetion of the escape, they cannot re'- turn.1 T to remainder of the 'escape board should be wire screening. Some beekeepers use a honey boars with a single escape in the centre,, in fact there are vizlious types of escape boards, though they all work on the principle of the one describ- ed. The escape boards are placed on the hives below the lowest super that is desired to remove. Care must be taken that there be no brood in Die supers placed above an escape. The bees will not leave brood.
