Keeping Time By Chas. H. Smith. T have questioned many farmers as to the kind of time they keep. One will say; "I keep sun tune—It's about twenty-three minutes faster than standard time except that our clock gains some.' Another says: "Well, I try to keep sun time. I set my clock thirty minutes faster than the depot ct ck. My clock loses a little though." And another answers: "I try to keep my clock about three-quar- ters of an hour faster than standard time so I won't bd late for the train. My clock gains when it's just wound up. and loses when it's running down." Just as I was about to conclude that farmers•must.own every poor old clock in'the world I rejoiced to hear a man answer:- "I keep correct standard time and my* watch and clocks are good time -keepers, too," And I said to myself: "That farmer 1s a good business mall" The entire business world this on standard time—except farmers. The trains, boats, interurbans all rein on standard time. The rest of the busi- ness world goes to work and closes up shop on standard. time, whether it is Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific standard time. This 1s right and proper—the way it should be. It is difficult to imagine the confusion that would result if each industry should adopt a different time. Because farmers persist in keeping their own special brand of title they are constantly figuring out the dif- ference between their watches and the. watches that govern' the rest of the business world. "Let's see," one man says, studying his watch; "it's now seventeen minutes past nine. The train leaves at twenty-two minutes past ten. I have a little more thin 'an hour—and my watch is little better than half an hour fast. That gives me a little more than ail hour and a half. Whereas if he had correct standard time—and it's -easier to have standard time than any other kind of time—he would glance at his watch and say: ."Nine seventeen—have exactly an hour and five minutes to catch my train," I have never been able to under- stand the logic in. the farmers' reason- ing regarding time. Why not keep correct standard time and then know exactly what time it is, instead of us- ing your watch as a basis for guessing at it? I have known of farmers actual- ly waiting two hours for a train be- cause their "watch was a little .fast." Now that "daylight saving" law is in force, it is even more important that you keep the right time if you would avoid needless confusion: -..Go to worts and quit any hour of the day you please, but keep correct time. If your watches and clocks do not keep good time, have them put in shape so that they will. Then set them exactly with standard time and get in step with the rest of the world. ---- Another Haig Story, Earl Dartmouth, the Governor of the Zingari Cricket Club, has related a new story of Sir Delights Haig, When Sir Douglas was invited to accept the freedom of the club, he was reminded by Earl Dartmouth of its three prin- ciples -"keep your promise, keep your temper, and keep your wicket up." The Field Marshal'prornptlyreplied: "Your principles are worthy of the nation that' entered the war (0 '4skean its pro- mise, that kept its temper through ill - fortune and through good, and- please God, will keep Ate wicltet up until its promise has been redeemed."

The origin of moons is one of the mysteries of astrononfy..If, as some star -gazer's assert, our lunar orb was thrown off from the earth when the latter was a molten, fiery mass—the Pacific ocean being the hole left by its departure—we have a special right to feel a proprietary interest in it. On the other hand, the two little mods that revolve about Mars like golden shuttles -are strongly suspected to be asteroids (minor planets), cap- tured out of space. ,The larger of then, Phobos, only sixty miles in diameter, is much smaller than many of the known asteroids. • We are rather poorly off for moons. Saturn has eight, the biggest of them, Titan, being nearly twice the size of our orb of night; and Jupiter posses- ses four, the largest of which, Gany- mede, 'is greatest of all moons in our planetary system, having a diameter of 3,480 miles. At least two or three of Jupiter's moons are still hot, as proved by the fact that they give out some light of their own, It is very interesting to watch, through a telescope, the shad- ows thrown upon that giant planet by its moons, observation of the eclip- ses of which furbished the first data for estimating th.e velocity of light. Uranus has four little croons, which, oddly enough, rise in the north and set in the south. Neptune possesses only one, rather diminutive, which traver- ses the sley -from southwest to north- east. The most remarkable guess on re- cord had to do with moons. Dean Swift, a century before the moons of Mars were discovered, made Gulliver say of the astronomers of Laputat "They have found two satellites which revolve about Mars, whereof the In- nermost is distant from the planet exactly three diameters of the planet. The former revolves in the space of ten., hours "find the latter in twenty- one and a half hours." As a matter of fact, the inner 1110olh is 10,000 miles from Mars, whereas— the diameter of the planet,being 4,000 miles—Gulliver's estimate would place it at a distance of 12,000 miles. For the' outer moon he gives 20,000 chiles as the distance, 'which is really 15,000 miles. Tho time of revolution for the inner moon is actually seven and a half hours and for the outer one thirty horn's. KEEPERLESS LIGHTHOUSE. -- Near the Isle of Guernsey, Scene of Hugo's-"Toilers of the Sea." The first unattended rock lighthouse .with a powerful fog signal is the re- cently completed Platte Fougere light- house, marking the entrance to Rus- sell channel leading to St. Peters Port, Guernsey, a spot which figures in Vic- tor Hugo's romance, "The Toilers of the Sea." The lighthouse co:ltains many in- genious electrical devices, controlled from the shore by a submarine cable nearly a mile and a half long. By its aid the foghorn and siren are regular - 1y blown—they have been heard thirty miles away on the French coast—while the current it carries also controls the light in the lantern. It is proposed- to use this type of automatic lighthouse for illuminating Hudson Bay and Hudson Straits in connection 'with the opening of these waters and the carriage of wheat'by the new railway to Port Churchill. A Proemial to establish similar lights en the mono exposed and barren coasts of South America has also been con- sidered. ..• t llij st.e i'tt'.�"vit' liwJr. t ;.::.r,KgrAbo tr,�ra ltvfl'i "t^f+ieSSsa!';"v';it0'fd' Many an Off -Color Day is due to a .disturber digestion.

WEAK MOTHERS REGAIN HEALTH Through the New Bleed Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills Actually Make. No mother should allow nervous weakness to get the upper hand of her. If she does worry will mar her work in the home and torment her in body and mind. Day after day spent amid the same surroundings is enough to cause fretfulness and de- pression. But there are other causes, as every mother knows, that tend to make her nerves run down. A change would benefit her jaded system, and rest might improve her blood so as to give the nerves a better tone. But rest and change are often impossible, and it is then that all worn out wo- men should take a short treatment with Dr. Williams' Pints Pills, which make new blood, ricer with the ele- ments on which the nerves thrive, In this way these pills restore regu- lar health, increased energy, new am- bition and steady nerve. There is a lesson for other women in the case of Mrs. Harry P. Snider, Wilton, Ont., who says:—"Five years ago my twin babies were born, and I was left very weak and very miserable, hardly fit to do anything. The doctor gave are medicine, but it did not help me. Then 0 tried another doctor, but with no better results. One day I went home to my mother, telling her how miserable I felt, and that the doctor's medicine had not done me any good. Mother ,asked me why I did not try Dr: Williams' Pink Pills, and as T was glad to try anything that knight help me, I got three boxes when I went back home. • By the time these were used there was no doubt they were helping me, and I got three more boxes. But I did not need them all, for by the time the fifth box was used, I was entirely cured, and never felt better in my life. Now when I hear people talk about feeling weak or miserable I always recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and tell what they did for me, and in'similar cases I shall continue to recommend them." At the first sign that the blood is out of order take Dr. Williams' .Pints .Pills, and note the speedy improve- ment they make in the appetite, health and spirits. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for. $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Go„ Brockville, Ont, FIRE THAT IS HARD TO PUT OUT. Water IS not of much use for putting out an oil fire. It may,. indeed, be much, worse than useless, for.burning oil floats on it, and may thus be car- ried to considerable distances, spread- ing the fire far and wide. Steam turned ippon the flames through pipes is often highly effective. If its volume is sufficient a cloud will be formed that serves as a blanket, filling the "tank about the' oil and ex- cluding air from it. Much moro'satisfactory, however, is the newer method of bringing together two chemical solutions`, and spread- ing over the surface of the burning' oil the thick foam resulting from their combination, thereby excluding air and extinguishing the.fiames. , The steam method works vory well with gas well fires, a number of por- table field boilers being set up and steam thrown from them upon the burning gits column in the forum of spray. If the gas stream can be in- terrupted for .only a moment just above the point of discharge the fire will be put out. For putting out small gasoline fires (especially on the floor) sawdust worsts surprisingly well, It floats for a while on the surface of the burning liquid, forming a blanket which ex• eludes the air and smothers the flame, Dry 'sawdust seems to serve as well its Moist.

These are some of the amazing facts in Sir Douglas 'Haig's final des. patch:— General Headquarters received 9; 000 telegra"rns 1n one day, and 3,400 letters by despatch -riders. One army headquarters Jiad 10,000 telegrams .in a day, and the daily telegrams on the lines of communication were 23,000, There were 1,505 .miles of tele- graphs and telephones, and 3,888 miles of railways, on which 1,800 trains ran weekly. In six weeks 5,000,000 ration's were supplied, by our armies in France, to 800,000 civilians in the relieved areas. The total daily ration strength of - our armies was 2,700,000. An addition of one ounce to each clan's ration re- presented an extra 76 tons. Over 400,000 horses and mules and 46,700 motor vehicles wore used, and 4,500 miles of road made or, main- tained. In 1914 there was one machine gun to 500 infantrymen in the British army, at the armistice there was one machine gun to 20 infantrymen. Over 700,000 tons of ammunition were fired by our artillery on the western front from last August to the armistice. The number of individual landings at the ports managed by the British armies 1n France exceeded 10,000,000 up to the armistice, while in the last elevenoaths of the war the average weekly image landed at those ports was 175,000 tons. YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone."'This will cost very little 'but Is sufficient to reprove every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the sore- ness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, dries up and can be lifted out with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man; who says that, while froezoue is sticky, it dries in a moment, and shit - ply shrivels up the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the sur- rounding tissue or skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try it. LEMONS Wi-IITEN AND BEAUTIFY THE SKIN.
