The House Phone 9a MAGIC FAKING POWDER Laurier Was Not the Instigator At a political meeting held at Lachine Hon, R, Lemieux, who was a member of the Laurier Government, aid a. Very intimate friend of Sir Wilfrid, let loose a bit of history connected with the Reciprocity movement of 19,11 which was not before known. Reciprocity with the United States, let it be recalled had been advocated by both political parties prior to that date, but when the Laurier Government attempted to put it into force such a cry was raised about loyalty and the certain+•destruct= ion of Canadian industries if the agree- ment went into force that the govern- ment was' defeated, and Hon. Messrs. Paterson and Fielding, who negotiated the deal, cane in for a good deal of underserved opposition. Now Mr. Le- mieux comes forward and states that neither of the above gentlemen in- stigated the negotiations with the United States, nor yet Dr. J. A. Jvtac. donald, then editor of the Toronto Globe, at whose door the responsibility -was sonletinles laid, but Lord Grey, then Governor-General of Canada, : who would be about the last man who could be truthfully accused of plotting against the political or economic independence of this country. Mr. Lemieux says Lord Grey was prompted to the sug- gestion by a conference in the United States with •President Taft, at which the cordial relations existing between the two countries stood out strongly. According to Mr. Lenlieux's views, bad the elections followed immedliately re- ciprocity would have been endorsed by the people, such was the enthusiasm which then favored the movement, but prejudices were created, for paritzan ends, which brought about its defeat. An overwhelming majority of Ca na- dians,would today support the Laurier reciprocity proposals, but an oppor- tunity which was offered in 1911 is not likely to occur again. A Province can impose only one form of taxation nalfhely direct taxat- ion, but it can raise revenue by means, of shop, saloon, tavern, auctioneer and other licenses of a like kind. ° . •`r ......1 fir, 'I Cannot Go" headache Spoils I�TLIOUS oil p many an expected enjoy - pent.

(See Iso. 5:11, 12; 7:5; Amos 2:0, S, 12; 4:1; 0, 0.) Samarin's posi- Oen was an enviable one.

It was to be by rho strong hand of the Assy- rins. `.Che imagery of this verse shows that this destruction was to be sudden, swift and irresistible, Some of the evils wrought by drunk- enness: • (a) Strength Is waisted by it (v. 1.). "Are overcome with wine." Mal's manifold strength, physical,- mental and spiritual, is soon mastered by strong dt•1nlc, (b) honor brought into the dust. "Shall be trodden under feet" (vv. 1, 3). Just as this proud city oras humbled through intemper- ance, so does drunkenness bring clown IMO the dust those high iu educe- tinnal, social, and business circles. (e) It despoils beauty (vv. 1, 4). "Beauty is at fading flower." Beauty soon departs from the form and spirit of men and women who inunige• In the intoxicating cup. (cl) Wisdom Is turned aside (v. 7).

This pointed forward to the -coming of the Savior (Zech. 6:13). Their Tropes were partially fulfilled at the first coiniug of the Savior, but tine real fulfillment shall be when drunk- enness, pride and 1111 unrtghteousness shall disappear before the glaring tight of the Sun of Righteousness (.lint. 4:2.; T Pet. 5:4).

Purity of the Water a Great Essen- ttal— Location Aso of import - Anse -- Construction Described— People on Farms Live Longest, (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto,) The well Is the usual source of the farm !water supply, and a good well, that le, one which supplies plenty of pure fresh and wholesome water the Year round, is certainly one of the most mental and valuable assets of the farm. Without' it no man could live there fpr long, to say nothing about bringing up a healthy family, or building up an e5lcient dairy herd. The well must be there first and last and all the time, and we cannot con- ceive of an intelligent man buying a farm without a good well if he In- tended to live on it and make it paY dividends. A Good Water Supply Is Common. Fortunately most of Ontario's farms are well supplied with water, In fact it 1s a rale thing to find a farm where it could not be secured hi sufficient quantities by drilling to reasonable depths. The supply, therefore, will probably never cause us any serious worry,'but judging by a recent report on analysis of many well waters from this province one seems justified in conaludiug that there is still need for education of the rural public in regard •to the pro- tection and care of the farm well. The following suggestions will bo found helpful to any farmer desirous of making his water supply safe against possible underground and surface contamination, Locations ob Lite Weli Most Important. The first step iu the solution of this problem of purer water supply 1s the Iocation of the well, This •should be by all meals on ground higher than any source of contamina- tion such as barnyard, cesspool, or outside privy. If there should be no choice in location and this cannot be done, then the well 'should be kept a considerable distance from such con- taminations, at least 100 feet in clay, and 200 feet or more in sandy soils, and the cribbing and top of the well specially protected as detailed later against the entrance of any seepage and surface washings, How to Keep the Water Uncon- taminated. In the second place the cribbing for at least ten feet below the sur- face should be made impervious to water so that any contamination in solution reaching the hell would have to pass down through this ex- tra depth of soil before getting into the well, when In all probability it would be taken up by the soil and never reach the well water. This may be done in case of an old well by Putting a wall of puddled clay one foot thick and ten feet deep around the well cribbing, and in ease of a newly -dug well, or recribbing an old one, by using large concrete tile for the cribbing and setting the joints thoroughly in rich cement. Before the the are placed in the well the outsides should be washed with pure cement plaster fu order to fill up all pores and make the tile absolutely impervious to soil waters. Thirdly, the cribbing should be extended .at least one foot above the ground level, and the soil banked' up to the top of it, to provide good surface, drainage away from the well. Fourthly, the well should be provid- ed with a strong and. tight -fitting :cover made of heavy plank or con- crete so that it will always be :safe for man and beast, and proof against the entrance of dirt, small animals like frogs, etc. Using a Second or Dry Well. Even better ,still, the pump mar be placed over a shallow dry well to one side and the top of the real well made absolutely tight by a concrete Corer. .In this case the well should be ventilated by putting.a small iron pipe, with the exposed 'end turning downwards, through the top or Cover. And, fifthly; the stock should not be allowed to. tramp about close to the well. What hon been said• refers chiefly to dug wells, but even the ,drilled or driven wells should be well drain- ed and protected at the top, for otherwise contamination may work down along the well casing and reach the water, especially if the casing is not tightly driven into the rock below. Attention to such matters of 0011- stmuctlon and protection of .the faun well as here detailed, and an occa- sional pumping out and cleansing of the well with a little lime, 3111 as- sure a. pure and wholesome water supply.—R.

METHODIST FUNDS - WELL SUPPORTED Dr. Chown Comments on Gener- osity of Membership—Marvel- ous Elasticity -Over $3,759,584 Paid in on National Campaign. Toronto, Oct. 13—"The elasticity of our people in giving is marvelous," asserted Rev. S. D. Chown, general - superintendent of the Methodist church in commenting on the contributions of Canadian Methodism to missions and current revenue when the General Con-. ference special committee met in the Metropolitan church this evening. Even the more or less evident depression of the last year or so in business and industrial circles does not seem greatly to have affected the churches' contribu- tions. The report on the national campaign shows a total of $3,758,584 paid in already," said Dr, Chown, "That is 76 per cent. of what was promised. Up 1 y to October 11 out of this fund 51314,- 000 had been paid to the mission fund, a like amount to the superannuation fund and $657,000 to the Educational Society." • For the last year the current incoine for missions. outside the national cam- paign, was $1,092,811, while the Woman's Missionary Society total was 5476,103, making a total for the year for missions of 51,568,914. With the amount already paid over to the mis- sion rooms front the :national campaign funds this snakes a total of almost 53,000,000 raised by Methodists in Can ads and Newfoundland in the last year or so for missionary enterprises. The church union negotiations were under discussion in the committee this afternoon, which met in closed session, WOULD WORK UP IMPERIAL TRADE Winston Chueahill Calls For the Development of Trade With- in the Empire. London, Oct. 13.—"Great Britain musttrade with the whole world, but. if foreign nations cannot or do not choose to traderwith us on a sufficient scale, it is time to snake a long march forward on the path of Imperial devel- opment" This assertion was made this after- noon by Winston Spencer Churchill, Secretary for the Colonies In an ad- dress at the 'Mansion House, where a meeting was held in furtherance of the project of a British Empire Exhibition in 1923. Mr. Churchill declared that the fact that Great Britain had to purchase four-fifths of its food and a similar pro. portion of raw materials abroad show- ed, the•vital necessity of extending t,lie Empire's trade, "If things go as they ode now," de- clared Mr. 'Churchill, "it will become increasingly difficult for us to pur- chase what is needed from the United States or elsewhere. "Great Britain," he ' added, "has never been bankrupt. She will always find," said be, "a pathway open for the saftey and glory of the British race. There is at this moment open to us, not only ie the East, but in the West, and in all quarters of the globe, a splendid prospect in unlimited potentialities for a world-wide Empire," .tie said he was not advocating trade wtihin the Empire to the exclusion of trade outside, as that would be impos- sible. In conclusion be said he be- lieved the trade depression has passed its worst point. , ,Ft T ONE WO .A I TWENTY HAS A STRONG OA lr( No woman can be strong and healthy unless the kidneys 000 well.
