Englewood, I11. —" W hi le going through the Change of Life I suffered with headaches,ner ousness, flashes of heat, and I suffered so much I did not know what I was doing at times. I spent $1900 on doc- tors and not one did me any good. One day a lady called at my house and said she had been as sick as I was at one time, and Lydia E. Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound made her well, so I took it and now I am just as well as I ever was. I cannot understand why women don't see how much pain and suffering they would escape by taking your medicine. I cannot praise it enough for it saved my life and kept me from the Insane Hospital, "—Mrs. E. SHELDON, 5657 S. Halsted St., Englewood, Ill.

He takes off his shoes when he enters a house, hut keeps on his hat. He reads and writes from, right to left. ,Ile eats scarcely anything for breakfast or dinner, but in the even- ing he sits, down to a hot meal .swim. ming in oil. His sons eat with him, but the ladies of the household wait till the melee have finished, The Arab rides a donkey when travelling, his wife walking behind, and he laughs at the idea of giving up his seat for a *omen. The Arab fiat one strong virtue, and that is, he is rarely seen drunk. 12e' is not very affectionate, is very ignorant, and has $o little` initiative that he rarely takes on any- thing worth doing, or attempts to 'carry out any enterprise. Aviator vs. Zeppelin Flight -Lieut. Brandon, a New Zeal- ander in the Royal navy, who has put in the first claim for having chased, bombed and brought down the Zeppe- lin L15 in the Thames Estuary stands to win, if awarded the prizes offered, a sum amounting to $10,000, Since Brandon put in his claim, however, many gunners and, indeed, whole bat- teries of the Royal artillery anti-air- craft experts along the line of flight of the airship, have put in claims. Mr. Tennant, Under-Secretary tor War, informed the House of Commons that these several claims were being investigated. It was Brandon who, single-handed, rose above the Zeppelin, and in the midst of shot and shell, ; dropped bomb after bomb and actually -•-• — i saw the monster suddenly descend, as ' be believed, the victim of his well - HOW ONE HERO HEARD OF BROTHER'S DEATH Stoicism of British Subalterns Re- vealed in an Incident of Present War—Tragedy Well Borne A true story, but instinct with the ;dramatic Intensity of a short story ;masterpiece is recorded as follows by the Westminster Gazette: 'The Rail- way Transport Officer was very busy; ibis work can be very strenuous at 'times. A subaltern came into the of - lice. "Captain Duncan about?" he asked. "Yes; he'll be back in a minute. Want to see him personally, or will Ido?" Yes, I want to see Ulm, he's In the Blankshires, isn't he?—Arthur Dun- can." "Yes, that's him. Will you wait?" answered the R.D.O. The subaltern sat down. "Thanks," he said, and !then added apologetically: "He's my !brother, you know; haven't seen him lfor ages— only happened to hear in the town he was here." "Funny how one drops across one's people out here," said the R.T.Q. Here's a paper, only yesterday's." "Thanks." The subaltern reached across the table. "Haven't seen one since I left England." The R.T.O. went on with his work. The subaltern read the paper. Captain Duncan came in in a few minutes, and sat down without speaking. The subaltern glanced up, and then continued to read the paper. Didn't Notice Duncan "Very odd," thought the R.T.O. "Wonder why the Sub doesn't speak to his brother?" He Looked from Due to the other. "D—d odd," "Oh, Captain Duncan," he said at last, "this chap wants to see you personally." Captain Duncan looked up. "Want to see me?" The subaltern . put his paper down, "Oh—er, I was— er." He seemed very Muzzled. "Are you Captain Duncan, of the Blank - shires?" "Yes, certainly," "I heard there was a Duncan in the Blankshires (tare, so I thought f'd look in and see him on my way up country. Must be another fellow of the sane name." Other Duncan Killed "Yes," said Captain Duncan, "There is—there was another fellow in the other battalion killed two days ago near Neuve Chapelle, Awful good lad, rotten luck," There was a silence tense with some intangible emotion. The subaltern turned white. The R.T,O, cursed in- wardly. The telephone bell rang, and Captain Duncan picked up the re- ceiver. "Oh, well;' said the Subaltern, "I must get along. So -long, you chaps,' and iie left the office abruptly, "Ovid fellow," said Captain Duncan. KITCHENER'S SECRETARY Sir Reginald Brade, K.C.B., has had the great distinction of Commander of the Legion of Honor conferred upon him by the French. Government. This is the first occasion on which a civilian has received this coveted reward. As Secretary Lo the War Office since 1914, no man has deserved the honor more. If Sir Reginald were allowed to speak, he could a tale unfold that would thrill the Er Empire. .For e week and months Ps afterr wa broke out he ate and slept at the War Office.

The names of favorite geneses, Jorfre and French, for instance, are common; , battles in which the allies came out ' on top find favor, such as La Marne; Tipperary is also in the field; while names of the French cannon "Seventy- five," "hundred and five," Rimailho are very popular. French love of Irony is seen in such names as Chir - fon de 'Papier (scrap of paper), Finis, Teutouice, and La Censure.

The Formation` Treatment at Slight Cost a Preventive. A western farm writer' tells of a visit, to an elevator last fall when a farmer brought in a sample of wheat. It was promptly rejected:.. by the buyer. Weexamined the wheat, says the writer, and found the worst case of stinking smut we had ever seen. Fully 10 per, cent. of the sample was smut balls, and the whole Was dirty looking and foul smelling, At best the sample of wheat was worth no more than feed prices, and it Is doubtful whether any kind of stock would have cared to eat the stuff, Here was a case where a farmer who had done all the work necessary MGT ]n winter. to produce a crop of wheat and had harvested and threshed it probably secured fifteen bushels of wheat per acre worth no more than 60 cents a bushel, whereas if he had sown good seed he might have harvested twenty bushels of wheat worth 90 cents a bushel, In other words, he could have got 918 per acre for his crop in place of 99. The entire loss could have been prevented by the torment' treatment at a cost not to exceed a very few cents per acre. A pint bottle of formaldehyde costing from 35 to 50 cents and a few hours' labor would have treated enough seed grain to sow fifty acres. There is no excuse for such a loss except carelessness. Any drug store, general implement dealer, experiment station, or farm paper will cheerfully furnish infor- mation concerning the treatment of grain for smut. No farmer is wealthy enough to afford to sow grain affect- ed with smut. SUBSTITUTES FOR POTASH. Wood Ashes and Deep and Careful Plowing Offset Lack of Fertilizer. Shortage of potash this year will work hardship to many, but the loss can in a measure be made up by the use of wood ashes as well as by deep and careful plowing. I1' in plowing the aubsoller is used this spring, ire seven cases out of ten enough potash would be brought wit bin reach of the plant roots to furnish all that is needed. The effect of well preserved wood ashes is to increase indirectly the avail- able nitrogen of the organic matter in the soil, and when the ashes are ap- plied as a top dressing on grass lands they encourage the growth of clover and the better kinds of grasses, which then become strong enough to crowd out the inferior kinds. Wood ashes are also beneficial to corn and beets: Ashes contain, besides potash, about 2 per cent phosphoric acid, a trace of magnesia and considerable lime. In order to get the greatest benefit from Dim last named elements, however. the ashes must be kept dry; otherwise some of the potash will leak out Ashes from hard woods are richer in both phosphorus and potash than those from soft woods. The best ashes to be had are from maple, hickory, ash, oak and elm, and the ashes from twigs, the United States department of agricul- ture advises, are better tban the ashes from the heartwood taken from the middle of anold tree. In general, b a the g smaller and younger the wood burned' the better the ashes. Wood ashes taken from stoves and open fireplaces will average about 8 or 9 per cent of potash, or 4.3 pormtls per bushel of forty-eight pounds, and 2 per cent pbospboric acid, or one pound. These percentages give a .value of about 20 cents to a bushel of ashes, In addition to this value the presence of lime and considerable other con- stituents which act indirectly on the soil add about 10 per cent more to the value of a bushel. In purchasing ashes be euro to note the statement on the container. Canadian wood ashes, for example, are as a rule low grade ashes and are often either partially leached or mixed with foreign matter. They will analyze about •u per cent potash and 1,5 per )Cut phosphoric acid. -Box Contributors please notice that instead of the several boxes that have 'been used these w�vill in future be only two—cue in.

It le a noteworthy fact in American history that of the four members of Washington's cabinet Knox of Massa- chusetts, the only New Englander. was a Scotch -Irishman, -Alexander Hamil- ton of New York was a Scotch -French- man, Thomas Jefferson was of Welsh descent, and the fourth, Edmund Ran- dolph, claimed among his ancestors the Scotch Earls of Murray. New York also furnished the first chief justtee of the United States, John Jay, who was a descendant of French Hugueaoty, while the second chief justice, John Rutledge, was Scotch -Irish, as were also Wilson and Iredell, two of the original associate justices; a third, Blair, was of Scottish origin. John Marshall, the great chief justice, was, like Jefferson, of Scotch and Welsh descent.—Charles It Hanna's "Celt In America." MILBURN'S HEART and NERVE PILLS CURED Salvation Army Captain. Capt. Wm. E. Sanford (Salvation Army), 38 EariscourtAve., Toronto, Ont., writes: "A short time ago I suffered from heart trouble, which seemed to come on me very suddenly. I was so bad, that at times it seemed as if it was alt I could do to breathe. I noticed an announce- ment of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and decided to give them a trial. After taking two or three days' treat- ment I felt fine, and my heart has not bothered me since. If this testimony would be of any service to others you are at liberty to use et."

LOOK OCT FOR BUMPS! Colonel 0. C. Porter Will Well the Truth About Canada! Few persons in Winnipeg or the Canadian West are unacquainted with a certain gentleman from Mis- souri in the person of Colonel Garnet Clay Porter, who until recently was news editor of The Winnipeg Tele- gram, a post which he held for some years, and previously officiated in the same capacity with The Calgary Her- ald, Colonel Porter is literally "from Miesouri," in both senses of the term. , He was, as a young man, a practlsiug attorney in the sleepy old state immortalized for the world by its native son, Mark Twain, in "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn." As a newspaper man he has shown two Missourian attributes that have become proverbial ---"You've got to show him," and "You can't go kickin' his dog aroun'." Missouri, however, does not offer many opportunities to a Lawyer with journalistic aspirations and it was really in Toronto that he dawned on Canadian newspaperdom. As a member o f staff of the t ff Th . o e Toronto World, he went at things from an individual angle. When Sir William Osler•, then Prof. Osler, of Johns Hopkins University, Balti- more, made a jocular speech wh•eh was taken seriously, to the effect that all men should coimuit suicide at forty, be tools it into his head to go and ask the aged Goldwin Smith what he thought about it.

Westervelt Phinlipel of those who had known him in early childhood, he had lived beyond forty, that formed the basis of an article in The Ladies' Horde Journal. Perhaps his moat historle paragraph during his Toronto experience was bis inter-' view with another old gentleman, whom he described as 11 man who need bad language, and did good deeds." He quoted this individual as having said of a man then prominent in Ontario politics, "Jim don't swear much himself,' but he knows good swearing when he hears it." One of Porter's finest newspaper achievements while in the East was an interview with James J. Hill, at the time when the tide of American immigration to the Canadian West had set in. He went to Minneapolis to get this interview and obtained from Hill an entire recantation of his early statement that there was no future for the Canadian West, be- cause owing to the hot suns of the North-West Territories wheat would barn and not ripen, on our prairies. He induced Hill to declare that a great future lay before the then un- organised provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. At the time he ob- tained this fine advertisement for Canada he was unaware that the West was to be his future home; but with a considerable number of clever Toronto newspaper men he went thither in the first year or two of the present century and is now, so to speak, part of it. Everybody in Win- nipeg knows the soft spoken and un- ruffled Colonel and his ability to dis- tinguish between a "flush" and a "full house." Lately he has quit the daily grind to establish a news bu- reau of bis own, the purpose of which is to tell the facts about the West, and Winnipeg in particular, in the newspapers and magazines of Can- ada, the United States, and ail parts of the world, Though he is "from Missouri" it is safe betting that his facts will not be unflattering. • Thursday, October 26th, 1916' CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the�p,��.,,¢¢ Signature of CARRYING HAND -GRENADES Grenade fighting has become of the utmost importance in modern trench warfare, and there are a dozen varie- ties of these weapons, both for hand fighting and for firing from rifles.
