When travelling Life's highway, don't hustle another, There's plenty of room on the path- way for all; By minding the rule you will not cause a brother To slip off the edge and most prob- ably fall, The crowds that rush past yo% full of- ten may try you And make you feel yours is n pitiful plight; But stick to this rule as they hurrying pass you, You'll not go tar wrong if you "beep to .the right." If tempted and tried almost past your endurance To turn from the right to some easier way; If Borne enrolees aced seeks to give yon assuraIICG That you will succeed if you only will stray; Just think of those poor souls who listened and hooded And round themeelves soon in a des- perate plight, And point to the warning (you know it is needed), The warning that bids you to "Keep to the right," By mluding this rule you will keep out of danger And help other' travellers well on their way; To remorse and regret you will then be a stranger, And joy will be yours at the end of each day. You never will find yourself in a dark byway, Forlorn and disheartened and seek- ing for light, If you will give heed to this rule of Life's highway, Aud always remember to "Keep to the right." Potash Versus Potassium. As is the ease with the two other plant foods, what we know as "potash" may be guaranteed in at least two different ways. Ninety-four pounds of pure potash (KO) contains '78 pounds of pure potassium (K). Or, putting the case in the reverse, 78 parts of pure potas- sium combines with 16 parts of oxy- gen to form 04 parts of potash. Prom the above figures anyone can change a statement of potassium to a corresponding statement of potash, or the reverse. In the first ease, multiply the figure for potassium by the factor 1.205. In the second case, multiply the figure representing potash by the factor 0.82. • Remember, ones again, that there is no significance in this change. Pure potassium never occurs in nature. Even if it did, it could not he used in fertilizer, for it is highly caustic, and burns in contact with water. Equally, what we know as potash is not a stable compound, and cannot be used in fertilizer. The terms "potash" acid "potassium" are used simply as meas- ures of value; neither one has advan- tage over tho other; either could be used. Down in Coal Mine. There is ono industry which women have not attempted to invade. It is that of coal -mining, in which not a single female person in the United States is employed. The Republic to the south employs about' 600,000 workers in coal mines, who produce each year 600,000,000 tons of coal. Thanks to machinery, the output of coal per mall has greatly increased in the last few years. In 1901 it was 729 tons; last year it was 1,134 tons. • In no other country of the world doee the average miner produce so great a quantity of coal per diem. His daily output is nearly four and a half tons. The chief reason for this lies in the tact that American coal Is nearly everywhere more accessible than that In other fields, The average thick- ness of the seams is muck greater, and, as a rule, they are nearer the surface, Coal in the United States is not mined ne such depths as in some parts of the Old World. About 80 per cent, of U. S. bitumin- ous coal 1s taken from seams between three and ten feet thick. Seams less Man two feet thick do not yield as much as 1 per cent. of the total out- put, Short Cuts in Holland. The Dutch are the greatest people in the world for abbreviations. It seems to be a national trait of the Hol- lander, and not only are the mfesives between Nevrouw and her daughter and Mynheer and his son liberally sprinkled with the shortening of Dutch as she is spoke, but the adver- tisements in the Dutch newspapers are also thriftily abbreviated, so as to permit of the maxhnum amount of ex. pression with the mhfimdm of type. Private correspondence, as well as business correspondence, in Holland is a network of abbreviation, ao much so that a Hollander who has not been iu hie native laud for a good many years, but still retains a knowledge or hie mother tongue, is likely to fall by the wayside In reading a letter from 00 old friend from whom he has not hoard 1n a long time.

It is to be anticipated that before ninny years have elapsed almost every farm in the Canadian prairie pro- vinces will have its silo. The growth of the dairy industry would naturally bring this condition about in course of time, but the movement is being ex- pedited by the success farmer's are having in growing sunflowers. Small fields of from three to thirty acres have been planted in various parts of the three prairie provinces of Canada. The yields are proving more satisfac- tory than the farmers generally dared to hope, and each acre yields on an average from fifteen to thirty tons of ensilage. Many farmers have erected silos on their farms during the summer to take care of this crop, but most of them linve under -estimated their re- quireinentx and will have more crop than they can put in their silos. Sunflower silage Is due for a more extensive trial this winter than it has had before, The resulta In pre- vious years have been -very satisfac- tory but only comparatively few farmers have grown the crop for sil- age previous to this year. If in its mare extensive rue the crop proves to be as satisfactory as it has already proved in a rew cases where it has been tried, it is safe to say that in a few years the farm without a silo will be an exception in Western Canada. Since last year's results have be- come known, considerable interest has been shown in silos and ensilage in Western Canada and several bun- dred silos have been erected during the past summer. Typical of this movement is the Cardston district be Southern Alberta, where eight silos have been erected this year and where about fifty acres of sunflowers were planted. The crop has proved so suc- cessful that it is predicted that one hundred silos will be built in the dis- trict next year and more than a thous- and acres of sunflowers planted. Similar plans are being made in other parts of Western Canada, and the already rapidly growing dairy in- dustry promises to grow much faster with the *general acceptance of the sunflower as a silage -crop. Another evidence of the value of sunflowers as be thebig gain in w a forage ever 111t, g Ih flniebud steers. Many of the larger livestuoit raisers are growing ewe Rowers and erecting silos for this mar - Doom, Thus will he considerably in- creased the lerisbing arena of Canada, which, hitherto, have been somewhat restricted, compared with the large feeding areas lhreuglinut the country, and the llvedtoclt Industry in the West will be placed on a sound haste. CHILDHOOD AILMENTS. The ailineuts of childhood—ronsf.i- pat➢on, indigestion, colic, colds, etc.— = be quickly banished through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. They are a mild bat thorough laxative wbioh lnetantly regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach. They are guar- anteed to contain no barmful drugs and can be given to the youngest baby with perfect safety. Concerning them Mrs. Alcide Lepage, Ste. Beatrix, Que„ writes: --"Baby's Own Tablets were of great bele to my baby, They regu- lated her bowels and stomach and made her plump and well." The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers or P.7 at 25 cents a box from Tho Dr. W!lliame' Medicine Co., Brook- ville, Ont. o The Internal Secretions. We are giving much study these days to what are called the internal secretions of various glands. These secretions are not discharged exter- nally, as the saliva, tears and perspira- tion are, but are taken up directly by the blood froiu the gland where they are formed. They are of vital im- portance In maintaining health and in causing proper development of mind and body. It has long been known that the thyroid secretion in proper amount is necessary to the growth of the body and to mental health. A deficiency of this substance in childhood results in the form of idiocy in dwarfishness known as cretinism; a deficiency in adult life causes myxoedema, ' a die - ease that is characterized by mental dullness and by puffiness of the face and hands and other parts of the body. On the other hand, an abnormal in- crease in the amount of thyroid se- cretion causes rapid heart action, bulging of the eyeballs, and other symptoms that are associated with exophthalmic goitre. The action on growth that arises from the secretion of the pituitary gland is more striking; an excess in childhood accelerates growth; an ex- cess in later life causes the disease called acromegaly, as a result of which the hands and feet and the bones of the face gradually enlarge. The temperament of a person de- pends upon the special activity of one or another of the internally se- creting glands.

RIC:R, RED BLOOD NECESSARY TO HEALTH When the Blood Becomes Weak and Watery a Tonic is Needed to Build it Anew. Why are,,.we being continually told that good, health -giving blood must be bright red? What has color to do with the quality? Just this—tbe oxy- gen in the air Is the great supporter of all organic life. One function of the blood is to take the oxygen from the air—which It meets In the lungs and deliver it to the tissues of the body. When the blood, filled with life- eustaining oxygen, is sent out by the heart, it is bright red. 'When it re- turns, impure and deprived of oxygen, it is dark. You will see, therefore, that there are two prime requisites of health, pure air and bright red blood—the pure air to furnish the oxygen, the rich red blood to carry it where it is needed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make your blood rich and red because they increase rte power to carry oxygen, actually making it so much more able to carry increased life and strength M every organ in the body. Pale, anaemic people whose nerves are on edge, whose cheeks are pale, and.who tire out easily, should try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and note the steady improvement that follows their use. A case in point is that of Mrs. J. P. Rolston, South River, Ont., who says:—"About two years ago my eye. tem was in a badly run clown condi- tion; and I kept growing worse all the time until I could hardly do my housework. I had severe headaches, and pains across my back and under my left shoulder. I did not sleep well and would feel just as tired when I got up in the morning as when I went to bed. Life seemed a burden. I had taken doctor's medicine for a long time, but it did not meet my case, at least it did me no good. Then as a result of reading about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I decided to try them. When I had taken a couple of boxes I felt much better, and when I had taken live boxes more I felt that I was again a well woman. I have not eines felt any return of the trouble and I advise all women who are broken in health to give Dr. Williams Pink Pills a trial," These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, by The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. • Four Friends.

A friend of worse days, dark and drear, Who shared the hours of storms and fear, Before the skies began to clear. A friend new made who shall afford Adventures of the unexplored, A friend with happy future stored. An old friend who has stood the test, Has ltnown the worst and known the best, - Alike in both forever blessed. °Beard's Liniment Relieves Distemper The Victim.
