The fabulous wealth of our North Country' -•now established beyond. question.—needs only the assurance of honest and stable government to attract capital and immigration on a scale that will inaugurate'a period of unprecedented ;prosperity. A few years hence in Ontario there may easily be a population of 1000,000 north. of the Great Lakes and the Ottawa River. All of which means a big and profitable market for farm 'products. That 'market should be reserved; exclusively for Canadian 'farmers. Elect a Conservative Government, and it will be so reserved. For the Conservative Party stands pledged to see that the Canadian farmer is as adequately protected in this market as the United States farmer is in his. As Mr. Meighen stated at Midland on August 3rd, "We Will' make it as hard for the American farmers to get their surplus shipments into Canada, as they. are now, making it difficult for the\Canadian farmer to get his surplus into the United States." • What Others Have Done You Teo Can Do The farmers of Canada have shown that they can march abreast of the whole world in quality pro- tl,tctloxi:, Also they, have made giant; -strides in ittareasilig the quantity of their production. But in the business -like, • efficient marketing of their products they have failed to keep pace. Little Denmark has developed a system of co- operative marketing that has made her one of the most efficient and'prosperous agricultural countries in the world. ; Australia and New Zealand have ,both' made the orderly marketing of their products a matter of national policy, Don't let Canada Jag behind any longer! 1.6111•942/MIC MIIONNALIWOOONIV*16106601,10110,10.6tarrar•WIMEIM*INOL rorniss art Goo 1011 G.; ut Acti its *ire ether For the .United.

Heretofore, in order to avoid breaking prices in his own market, he has been accustomed to dump his'surplus production on yours.

A man's taste in food should be eon- •sidered by the cook, but she should,,,' not compel him to eat' the +same old thing everyday in the week just be- cause' he likes substantial food. Cooking for a family is a real job and the woman who tackles it as such, puts -her brain on it and accom- plishes 'sone success will get some thrill out of it. She may not get her picture in the newspapers nor ' -a trip to Atlantic City but she rill have the satisfaction of knowing that she has not fallen down on. her job, when she sees her family well-nurikhed and happy about her. „ - Many people 'find it difficult to go to sleep immediately on retiring, no mattes how early they may have been ,,up nor how fatiguing the day has been. The following, according to s Tl}e New York Times, was Napoleon's method"of inducing sleep: "Imagine the inside of the head as a circular room, the walls. of which are lined from floor to ceiling with small fyle drawers. In each drawer are thoughts. When sleep will not come 'Napoleon fancied it was be- cause the drawers were continually. opening out into the room, and pro- jecting their contents, or thoughts, on his mind. To induce sleep he had to keep these drawers in their places.' The mental effort used in pushing back the drawers brought the desired unConsciousnes to him in a short time." If the mental exercise didn't ren- der one more wakeful •still this plan might work My metbod for wake- fulness is 'to banish all thought from the mind, make it as blank as possible, and the brain not having anything to work on, settles down to rest, the eyes close and you are asleep before you know it.
