It was also formed with a large idea to deal in fruit and to manufactere such products as Vinegar: It was proposed • to secdre possession of orchards, to IAA., pack and sell the er013. The initial cost of the cor- poration was thus considerable, althoughthe benefit to farmers would have been great.

Father Vaughan. Rev, Father Vaughan,. London, Eng- land, thus defines Love: "Love is the greatest, the grandest, the sweetest, and strongest thing in life." "Mao without love is not a man. 'Woman without love is already dead," "Love is so, important that if you die Without It you go to hell. With it, you go to heaven." "A man may bring his bride to the 'altar and show her his multi -millions, *lying her worldly power, but if she Is a true wife, and cannot command the reeesses of his heart, it all goes. for nothing." • "All love is borrowed from God. These is no such thing as love that has not descended." "Children know that God is love. I asked a five-year-old, 'How motile do you love God?' she opened her arms wide. 'So!' she said." "He left His throne and died upon the cross—His arms stretched out like the little child's. Ile says, 'Look at these arms! Does anyone love you more?' Greater love bath no man." "Everything about us has the hall- mark of God till we feel His presence." • "If you tisk me, 'Is life worth liv- ing?' I'll say 'Yes, for Jesus is svorth ' To the women he says: "Do not 'dress so decollete." - THE COMING FASHION • Milday's next gown will be simple of attainment, and it will accord well with the household curtailment due to the high cost of living, .it was said In Chicago at the exposition of com- ing fashions on display there by dry goods trade papers. The bathroom, which supplied her bath robe of blanket cloth coat, now will furnish her dress. And the ma- terial in it will be Turkish towels. ' Two or three towels, with or with- out the red stripes and tasseled bor- der, as suits the wearer's individual- ity, a little dab of Irish lace, an open- ing here and there for an arm to come through, and the gown is complete. A simple silk underskirt, toned to show off the towel fringe left at the bottom of the skirt, and costing slight ly in excess of the overdress, com- pletes the costume. FARMING OUT PATIENTS A. E. Donovan, M.P.P., Brockville, told the Legislature that pollee (lec- tors had done considerable grafting in lumber camps by farming out their practice to other, perhaps more ener- getic physicians. In some cases, he declared, physicians would be retain- ed to care for the health of perhaps one thousand men in lumber carries, who were each compelled to contri- bute $1 a month for the service, wheth- er needing it or not. Doctors thus engaged had farmed out the jobs to other medical practitioners at, say 75 cents per man on the payroll, or, Mr. Donovan had heard, down to 25 cents per head per month. NEVV RUSSIAN FLAG • Czar Thinks Present Style Too Much Like the Dutch Some Bar age a, special tommis- Mon was appointed by the Czar to consider the advisability of a new flag tor Russia. The Commission com- pleted its laborswith exemplary ex- pedition and presented its report. The reason for this somesvhat un- usual proceeding is that Peter the Great, to whom was originally due the 'Russian flag, appears merely to have copied the Dutch—a flag with. three horizontal stripes of red, blue, and white, The Commission recommend- ed that these colors should be -- placed by black, white, and ye:— arranged in the same way as before— as a horizontal tricolor. The mer- chant marine is to keep the sem.° ete' Mall as before—red, blue, and white;', while the flag of the Imperial (Navy will be white with a blue St. Andrevds. cross, as before.. It is generalise as- sumed that these recommendations -will Meet with the, Czar's approval.

REASONS FOR OBSTINACY Statereent Is Issued By the Porte Explaining the Desire to Retain Adrianople and Aegean Islands— Decision To Summon National Gathering Is Taken as a Hope- ful Sign In the Situation. LONDON, Jan. 20.—The Porte's des oision to dell a National Aseetably on Tuesday to take under advisement the Balkansituation probably heralds further concessions on th.e part of Turkey—concessions Which could not be yielded by the Cabinet without risking its fall. In auy case, the Rah kan delegatein London do not be. lime that the Porte's reply to the joint note of the powers Will be such a fiat refusal as foreshadowed from Constantinople. . Yesterday's despatches reported that the Turkish Government had reached ' a decision not to cede Adrianopie or the Aegean Islands, but was willing to enter into negotiations respecting these islands some distance removed from the Dardanelles. If Turkey's answer is unsatisfactory, the allies, in dgereusi to Europegwill ask the pow: ers Iv -Nether they haVe-Teleifis t6lroln- poi Turkey to comply with their wishes. If not, the allies will carry out the plan already announced, lead- ing to the resumption of the war. In such event, the allies will regard all concessions heretofore made for the sake of peace, either to Turkey or the powers, as void. Thus they will not recognize the undertaking consenting to an autonomous Albania, or the promise of •Servia and Monte - mega to retire from the Adriatic. Opposed to Concessions. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 20.—The Turkish Foreign Minister, Nroradun- ghian Effendi, Saturday night submit- ted to the Council of Ministers a draft of the reply to the note of the powers. It is understood that it insists upon the retention. of Adrianople for the following reasons: Pint, because the Bulgarian in- habitants are in the minority in Ad- rianople, not only in oomparison with the Moslems, but as compared with other Christians. Second, because of the splendid defence of the garrison. Third, the lose of Adrianople, con- taining the temples of the Caliphs, weulcl ruin the prestige of Islam. Foarth, the loss of Adrianople, which is the gate of Constaotinople, would endanger the existence of the empire. "The Perla therefore prays," con- tinued the reply, "that the powers take eonsiderition of the vital necessi- • ties of the iftnpii'e and make represen- tations to the Balkan States, with a ViOW to peace. Turkey sincerely de- sires to find a common ground of understanding and will oven consent to fresh sacrifices." Regarding the Aegean Islancle, the reply says that Turkey mfasses to abandon the islands near her coasts, but is ready to continue pourparlers Tweeting the dietant islands. Noraclunghian Effendi has inetructe ed the Ottoman ambassadors abroad again to sound the powers with re, gard to Adrianople. The Superior Coancil of War line handed the Cram- eil of Ministers a report on the mili- tary situation. Ali Skin muses ARE OCCASIONED BY No one can expect to be free from some forni or other of skin trouble unless the blood is kept in good shape. The blood can easily be purified and the skin disease cured by the use of Burdock Blood Bitters, that old and widely known blood raedicine. It has been on the market for over 35 years and its reputation is unrivalled. Mrs. Lillie Mitchell, Guelph, Onb, writes:—"I was troubled with eczema, My body was covered with awful itching . skin eruPtions. Although I tried many different remedies I could get nothing to give me relief. Finally I got a bottle of Burdock Blood Bitters, which completely cured me," Manufactured only by The T.
