Children, Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C A S T O F I A PRICELESS POTASH Plants cannot live without potash— that indispensable product which we once so largely imported front Ger- many, and which our chemists have now learned to make for themselves. Tire potash in the soil comes frons the granite rocks beneath it, for air and grain act upon the felspar and Mica of granite and take potash from them, which dissolves in water and enters the soil as food for plants. But the farmer rarely has suffi- cient potash in the soil of his land, and before the war our farmers ob- tained large quantities from Stassfurt in Germany. There was once a great inland sea or lake in this region, which contained the potash compounds in solution, and when the water dried up the potash was left behind. Potash is one of our essential min- eral foods, too, and is contained in fresh meat and vegetables, the Lack of which predisposes towards the dis- ease of scurvy. In olden times, when these foods were rareiy obtainable on long voyages, the sailors suffered a great deal from this disease. Chiictren Cry FOR FLETCHER'S OASTO R A Nevada Has Crookedest River Asia Minor has its River Meander. 1 South America it River, s of Doubt, and now Nevada conies to the fore with the Huniliolt River—for its width and length the creokediest river en ine world. The liumholt flows southeasterly through the central part of Nevada, over desert sands from a place whose wending its devious and irrational way origin is not yet charted, to end itself suicidally in large hole in the desert. The Nevada natives know it by various navies, among them the "Locoed" River, and with good reason, or the erratic stream turns, ovists and cork- screws its path in a manner beyond comprehension or explanation. At one place in its bow, between points two and a half miles apart, it pursues a tortutous existence of eight miles, dur- ing which its course is alternately north twenty-five times, east eighteen tines, south thirty times, and west forty-one times, Every time it takes one of these ra- dical twists it seems to try to run back and touch itself; at thirty-three clif- ferent,leoi,as-t; le within iso feet of itself, or less. And at all these points it presents the spectacle of the same river bowing in opposite directions ,150 feet apart.

From his boyhood, in the 'sixties, Ferrary, encouraged by his norther, col- lected stamps, and expepded large scans on his collection, Some years ago it was computed that he had spent mora titan L250,000 on it, and his annual expendi- ture with one London (iron of stamp dealers is said to have averaged £4,000 at year. Ferrary amalgamated several impor- tant collections with his own. So far back as 1182 he bought for the then record price of 08,000 the general col- lection formed by the late Judge Phil - brick, a Collection which to -day would be worth es much as 050,000. Ile was a great asset to the stamp trade and as he was always a ready buyer at a !nigh price far any rare or exceptional item be had the pick of the market; The great collection, which until the War Was housed in the Austrian Eeibassy in tine Rue de Varenne, a mensir,it be- queathed to the Austrian Emperor by tate iMeileas de Gathers, contains gra- ttidally all the great rarities among Stamps: 8 YAN.w ,adM SI Y SCHOOL Lesson X,—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 9,1917, THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Lesson verse 8 is to me an epitome of all that is comprehended in good reading, "They read in the book in the law of God distinctly and gave the sense 110(1 caused them to understand the read- ing." Whether It be readiu'„ or sing- ing, it ought to be according to this. 1'aulsspoalcs or uttering words rosy to be understood told says, "I had rather speaks MT words with my understand- ing. that 1 might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an un- known tongue" (l Cor. zit'', 9, 101. The effect upon the people as they beard the word of God is beautifully set forth in verses 10, 12. They had great mirth because they understood the Words that were declared unto titan. and they went their' way to eat and drink and send portions to others not o l'ortnnnte.

THE BARKING WOLF The prairie wolf, the coyote of the Mexicians, is the American represen- tative of the old world jackal. 1t is thirty-six to forty inches long, with a tail measuring sixteen to eighteen inches. Its color is usually a yellow- ish gray on the back and sides, with black cloudings, The under part and inside of limbs are of a dirty white tint. The cry is a sort of snapping bark, and for this reason the animal is known as the barking wolf. It lives and breeds in burrows and has its young in April, often ten at a time. 11 hunts in packs and is very fleet. Nerves of the Stomach Were Weak and Inactive as Result of Nervous Prost ration —o Lst Twenty Pounds — Had to Take Sleeping Powders to Get Any Rest. Many people never realize that the movement and action of every organ of the human body is dependent on the energy supplied by the nervous system. When the net -sous system gets run down there is weakness throughout the entire body. You Peet tired and languid and your stomach and other digestive organs are similarly affected. .Appetite fails, digestion is poor, you do not get the good of what you eat and gradually grow weaker and weaker. This process can only be stopped by such treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, which goes directly to create new nerve force and thereby to invi- gorate the whole human body. Mrs, Geo, S. Elise, 46 Davidson street, St. Catharines, Ont., writes: "Irly husband had an attack of nerv- ous prostration, and, although he doctored for some time and tried dif- ferent other medicines, he could not get relief. He had to resort to sleep- ing powders given him by the doctor to .make him sleep. The greater part of the trouble seemed to be with the nerves of his stomach. I•lo -beggar to Iose weight, s,nd kept on going down until he had lost twenty pounds. Wo had read advertieements in the news- papers for Dr, Chase's Nerve Food, and noticed that it seemed to be doing a lot of good for people troubled with nervousness, so my husband decided to try it, He found benefit almost from the start, and continued this treatment until he had taken about twelve or thirteen boxes, The results were most satisfactory. He is now enjoying good health, sleeps well, and hes gained back nearly all the weight lie had lost. He also uses Dr. Chase's 14Itlney-Liver )?ills occasionally, and thinks them an excellent remedy. r have also used this latter medicine for dizzy spells and liver trouble, and was completely cured of these complaints, Wo think a. great deal of Dr, Chase's medicines, and cannot speak too high- ly of them."

' When at length he passed into the Ifouse, he met his secretary conning out for a solitary smoke. "Come to my library, Mr. Scott, be- fore you retire for the night," said Mr. Mainwaring. "At once, sir, if you wish," the sec- retary replied, "No, there is no hurry; any time within an hour," and he passed up- astairs, Half an hour later Harry Scott passed down the corridor towards the library, but paused on !tearing an angry voice within, which he at once recognized as Mrs. LaGrange's. "Where would you be to -night?" site cried, "where would you have been all these years, if l had but exposed your dishonesty and duplicity? You defrauded your only brother during his lifetime; you have persistently ig- nored your son, your own flesh and now you would rob hini,'not only of Isis father's name, but of his father's fortune,—cast 'him off with a stere pittance,—and put this stranger in the place which is rightfully his, and wish that you had been given such a son as het You are in my power, and you know it only too well; and i will make you and your high-born, purse -proud family rue this day's work." Hugh Mainwaring's reply to this tirade was inaudible, and Scott, feeling that he already had heard too much. withdrew, and continued walking up and down the halls until the library door opened and Mrs. LaGrange came out. She swept past hint in a towering rage, seeming scarcely aware of his presence until, as ile passed down the corridor and entered the library, lie was suddenly conscious that she had turned and was watching hint. He found Mr. Mainwaring looking pale and fatigued. "1 will detain you but a moment, Mr. Scott," he said, speaking wearily; "I have a few instructions i would like you to carry out early in the morning; and 1 also want to say that I wish you to consider yourself its one of my guests to -morrow, and join with us in the festivities of the occasion," Scott thanked his employer court- eously, though there might have been detected a shade of reserve in his man- ner, and, after receiving brief direct- ions for the following day, withdrew. Ile wen his went to s ,noun, but not to sleep. His mind was too full of the events of the day just passed, as well its of the expected events of the mor- row. His thoughts reverted to his discovery of the afternoon, and, tak- ing the shabby document from his pocket, he read and re -read it care- fully, his features betraying deep em- otion. What should be done with it? Should he let his entpluyer know at once of tate proof which he now held against hint? Or should he hold it for a feta days and await developments? It was nearly three o'clock when he was aroused from his abstraction by a slight sound, as of stealthy footsteps in the rear of tine house. lie listened intently for a moment, but hearing nothing further and discovering the Iateuess of the hour, he hastily exting- uished the light and, too exhausted and weary to undress, threw himself as he was upon a couch and was soon sleep- ing heavily. The sun was shining brightly into his roost, when Harry Scott was awak- ened the next morning by a woman's scream, followed by cries and sobs and a confused sound of running to and fro. Almost before he could collect his thoughts, he heard steps approaching his room, and ,rising, hastily exchttng- THE SAD STORY OF THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE is frequently revealed in these war times even in this well-to-do Province. Hard enough to be poor—still worse to be sick and poor. The lot of the consumptive is a spe- cially trying one. Only recently a family was discovered living in two small moms over a store. At one time they had occupied a comfortable home but the father took sick and had to give up work. With the savings all gone; they were ;forced to sell the fur- niture to buy food.

Make the change when there was a loud knock, and some one called his name in quick, sharp toilets, Opening the door, he saw Mr. Whitney standing before him, while in the background servants were running in different directions, wringing their hands and moaning and crying hysteri- cally, "Mr. Scott," said the attorney, in tones trembling with excitmeut, "conte to the tower -room at once; Mr, Main- waring has been murderedl" "Mr, Mainwaring murdered!" he ex- claimed, reeling for an instant as if from a blow. "Good heavens! it can- not be possible!" "It is terrible, but a fact, neverthe- less," replied Mr, Whitney; "he was murdered last night in hits privatb rooms," "How and when was it discovered?" Scott inquired, his mind still dazed by the wild torrent of thought surging through his brain as he recalled the events of the previous night. „Hardy, his valet, was the first to discover It this morhing. We have telephoned for his physician and for the coroner; they will be out on the next train from the city," Harry Scott shuddered as he enter- ed the familiar room where he had taken leaa'e of his employer but com- paratively few hours before, Even a- mid the confusion, he noted that in the outer room everything appeared the same as when he last saw it, but the portieres at the farther side, pushed widely open, revealed a ghastly sight: Upon the floor, about half -way be- tween the desk and safe, his head rest- ing 111 a small pool of blood, lay Hugh Maiuwaring. He was inclined slightly towards his right side, his arm partially extended, and on the floor, near his right Band, lay a revolver, while an ugly wound just above the right eye and near the temple showed where the weapon had done its deadly work, The closely cut hair about the temple was singed and his face was blackened, showing that the fatal shot had been fired at close range. There were no indications, however, of a struggle of any kind; the great revolving -chair, usually standing in front of the desk, had been pushed aside, but everything else was in its accustomed place, and the desk was closed and locked. Ralph ,Mainwaring was already kneel- ing beside the body; Mr. Thornton and young Mainwaring, who had entered immediately alter Scott and the attor- ney, stood speechless with Horror. With what conflicting emotions the young secretary gazed upon the lifeless form st Isis employer, fortunately for him at that moment, no one knew; as his mind cleared, he began to realize that his position was likely to prove a difficult and dangerous one, and tltal lie must act with extreme caution.
