It should have been called a tragedy. 1t days: He looked for a gas leak with a match and found it, lie lighted a match to see if his gasoline tank was empty. It was not. . He smoked while filling his auto 'tank, but will do so no store. He smoked in bed, so did the bed clothes. He threw the matches into the waste paper basket. Ile is wiser now, He threw a cigarette stub Into Some !rubbish. He saved his oily waste and oily rags and they burned his shop. He washed his hands in gasoline near the stove. The doctor washes. then now. He did not worry about fires as he had "plenty of insurance," and forget the safety of his wife and children up- stairs. He stuffed up the chimney holes with paper and rags. She cleaned her gloves with gaso- line and saved fifteen cents, but paid the doctor and druggist fifteen dol- hrs. She poured kesorene into the lamp while the wick was burning. She put gasoline into the wash boiler on the stove to make washing easier. She dried clothes too near the stove. She used the wrong oil can, She burned sulphur all over the House to fumigate. She used the woodbox back of the ranee as a waste paper receptacle. She gave matches to her children to go out to burn leaves in the yard. The cotton dresses burned easier than the leaves. She was "corning right hack," so Taft the electric current on in her iron. She swung the gas bracket to close rb'the curtains, She fixed up a line tissue paper shade for the lamp. She filled the tank of her gasoline stove while one burner was going. The comedies have turned to tra- gedies; elany of the scenes of action were in ashes and too many of the actors are pained or asleep; others will follow, no doubt, as they are prone to ignore the advice and ex- perience of others instead of profit.

Chicks to make up Serious Shortage, Unless there is a marked improve- ment in conditions from this flare on, your dickens won't "come home to roost" in as large numbers as you would like, because there will not be many of them to come hotne as there ought to be. For sonle unexplainable reason, the spring hatching this spring have been most disappointing, It is said the per- centage of hatchings for the province Is only about 26 per cent. of normal, A local amateur poultryman records this as his experience with an incu- bator. Out of four -hatches he had 26, 28, 15, and 18 chicks respectively and the machine's capacity was 110 eggs. At each setting 65 eggs were proven to be fertile but the chicks did not came through. So great has been the falling off in spring hatchings that poultrymen are being urged to hatch July chicks. 'The most plausible reason offered for the failure of the chick hatch this spring is the poor quality of chicken feed. Under the food regulations, no wheat of milling quality may be fed, and the available feed is not of a very good quality. The corn, it is said is mouldy, WELL SATISFIES WITH BABY'S OWN TABLETS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else. Experience teaches her that the Tablets are the very best med- icine she can give her baby. They are a gentle laxative; mild but thorough in action and never fail to banish con- stipation, colic, colds or any other of the many minor ailments of childhood. Concerning then Mrs, J. Bte, Charest, St. Leon, Que., writes "My baby cried continually and nothing seemed to help her till i began using Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets soon set her right and now i would not be without then," The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box front The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA HOW BANKERS WOULD LIKE PUBLIC TO HELP Feeling that while the banks were desirous of rendering all eessential ser- vices, yet that they were tremendous- ly handicapped by the loss of thous- ands of officials a reporter called on some of the local bank managers to ask how the public could assist in making it easier for the banks to handle their growing business under these exceptional conditions. "How can the public help?" asked the reporter and there are some of tate ways in which the bank manager said that the public could do a real service in lightening as far as possible the burden of the ,growing banking busi- ness that is being carried on by the small number of experienced officials, and the large number of willing but in- experienced women clerks. "Transact the banking business in the morning as far as possible and as early as possible.' agreed all the bank managers. "Try to avoid a rush at closing time." "Do not draw any more checks than are absolutely necessary, "Instead of paying a small account with a check, draw the money in one amount and pay in cash." To further assist the staffs to handle that bankinghall be cidedt tthess hour arisen out of the war, it has been de - (sided that the bankbing hours shall be from 9.30 to 2.30 on live days of the week, and from 9,30 to 12 on Satur- days, Dunlop Tires ---"Traction," Si Special"—represent doing best what other tires may have been trying to do well.

London, June 4.—The ministry of information's latest scheme of inviting editors from every part of the empire 10 meet simultaneously in London for a conference, and afterwards personal- ly to investigate conditions on the Al- lied fronts, is arousing interest. It is hoped that the 20 Canadian representatives will include, besides leading editors from the whole Do- minion. several representatives of the French-Canadian press. - It is expected that the premier and other members of the war cabinet, the foreign minister, heads of the army and navy, and the colonial secretary will confer with the editors. Following this the leading cities and provinces will entertain them during their exam - nation of war in Great Britian, They will then proceed to visit the front, both the army and navy giving the fullest opportunity to study at first hand every detail of work here. British journals will take advantage of the opportunity to receive their col- leagues. A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF For a young nation inexperienced in war, Canada has no particular reason to blush at the war achieve- ments of her citizens during the last four years. The heroic work of her soldiers, now numbering nearly 500,000, (las made the hearts of the civilians pulsate more rapidly with genuine pride, and, in return, the country's sons overseas have reason to feel equally pleased over the re- cord which those at home have been able to establish. According to re- ports recently supplied by the gov- ernment it has been shown by offi- cial investigation that the amount. of money contributed by the people of Canada to various patriotic causes since the beginning of the war, is about $75,000,000. Alto- gether over 30 organized funds have been established, all of which have been given most Patriotic support. This is a record to be proud of, and reveals a healthy national thrift, and a deep sense of the responsi- bility Canada has assumed as the largest of the British Dominions, Cn>i.aren Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CAS'TORIA NEW HIGH SCHOOL GRAMMAR IS THE ONLY CHANGE Education Department Arranges for Note Books at Low Cost— Other Text Books Same. tion. Dr, Cody, Minister of Educa- tion, announced that the department had completed arrangements for the publication of text -books for the school year of 1918-19. Despite the reportsorts that new text -books were be- ing prepared, the books s published, lished with one exception, will be exactly the same as those that have been in use for some time past. The exception is the High School Grammar, which has been revised, the price, however, retraining unchanged, The reggla- lations governing the use of text- books also remain unchanged, The Minister, after advertising for tenders, has also arranged with a Toronto publisher for supplying the secondary schools of the province with a standard note book ;it a low price. Science notebooks and other blank books for school exercises have risen so much in price during the last two or three years that departmental ac- tion stion became necessary in lite interest of the pupils. • The new standard note- book will be of the loose-leaf type with 128. pages and the publisher has under- taken to supply refilling sheets at less than -half the price of the original book, After July 1919, no other note books ivill be used in High Schools, continu- ation schools and Collegiate Institutes.

SOUR STOMACH Specks Before the Eyes. Sour stomach and biliousness are caused by a sluggish liver, for when the liver is not working properly, it holds back the bile, which is so essential to promote tho movement of the bowels, and the bile gets into the blood instead of passing through the usual channel, thus causing many stomach and bowel troubles. Floating specks before the eyes is also another indication that the livor is sluggish and requites stirring into action. Thts you can best do by taking Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills. They stir up the slug- gish liver, clean the coated tongue sweeten the breath, and do away with all stomach ills. Mr. John R. Morrison, Grand River Falls, N.S. writes: "Several months ago 2 was troubled with a sour stomach and had specks floating before the eyes. I took five vials of Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills which cured, and cleared my blood before any length of time. I told my friends about it, and they got some, and they, too find themselves different since they took them. I recommend your pills very highly."
