He was peer acted on November 15." The inscription gives us few details,, but it reflects a wonderfully well- rounded end complete life, In one phaselife is a straggle for daily breed, tad Theodore, like other men of that ancient cay, had his craft. But to ham Me was a_serrice, too, and God was a laaater to whom he owed itn- j obealenee, He counted it a dire amalon to be called "the slave of (led," and this was not merely a theory. He associated with men who obeyed God, and his implicit faith and godly life seem to have made him a leader. Also, lie was known beyond his little church circle. He did not confine his good works and his kindly ministrations to those who thought and lived as he did. Like his Master, he served all who needed his service. Probably he was better known in his native city as the "friend of all" than as a "preabyter of the saints." Evidently, too, lie saw beyond what many regard as the pathetic end of. every life, ' He died as the "slave of God," and, with the firm confidence that God bad other work for him to do beyond and a sweeter rest to give, his Christian friends wrote over his grave, "He was perfected on November 15." The life that had broadened to 1111 its environment here was merely trans- ferred into a elder sphere above, To see life whole means to see all there is in it. Is it nothing more than a limited opportunity for personal profit and enjoyment? Or is God a real factor to be reckoned with in every life, and, does that entail obliga- tion? is there a divine purpose un- derneath your life and mine that gives It the character of a trust held for God, and a mission in behalf of other men? And how far does this mission extend? Life has a definite, actual signifi- cance. It means just so much, neither , more nor less. What we persuade ourselves to think about lire changes nothing. The only wisdom is to try to see life whole, and to live according to that enlarged view. Queei Money. The groat war brought into came kitten sonic very odd kinds of money. There was lack of copper and nickel throughout Europe, owing to the de- mand for those metals for =tuitions, etc.; and, to aggravate the Motion people everywhere took to aaarcling coins.. Germany issued hundreds of mil- lions of five -pfennig and ten -pfennig iron coins, the later output of these pieces being coated with zinc to pre- vent rust, Iron coins were likewise minted by the governments of awe- delaNorway and Deenterk, The Germans issued one -pfennig pieces of aluminum, and in Algeria also aluminum coins of five centimes and ten centimes made their appear- ance In circulation. Germany issued muslin notes, and the local governments ' in that count try and in Austria printed paper • money of the smallest value ever known, representing one-fifth of a sent, Even more curious was the paste- board money issued in some of the enemponcupled cities in France. It was in denominations up to five fiance, and was of different Colors and shapes —square, round, octagonal, oval and diamond shaped. This "card money" was guaranteed by the local munici- pality, and was good only for use in transactions with merchants of the town where it was issued, Meanwhile the clever Japanese bought up in China nearly, all of the 'visible supply of "cash"—the copper pieces with square holes for stringing them together. At the enhanced price of copper they were worth con- siderably more as bullion than as money. Father Love. .

PAINFUL NEURALGIA Is Caused by Thin,, Watery Blood and Cured by Enriching the Blood. • Most people think of neuralgia es a pain in the -head or in the face, hut neuralgia may affect any nerve in the body. Different names -are given to it when it affects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatic nerve Is Called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the nature of the disease are the same. The cause being the same, the cure to be effective abut be the flame. The pain in neuralgia iff caused by starved nerves. The blood which car- ries nourishment to the. nerves has be- -come thin and impure and no longer does -So, and the pain you feel is the cry of the nervee for their natural food, Yoe may ease the pain of neur- algia With hot applications, but you can only cure the trouble by enriching and purifying the blood. For this pur- pose we Imoev of no medicine that can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills actually make new, deli blood and thus act as the most efficient of nerve tonics. If you are suffering from this most dreaded of troubles, or any form of nerve trouble, give these pills a fair trial, and see how speedily you will be restored to good health. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer, or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Government scientist has succeed- ed in making, the Pacific coast kelp edible by pickling it. *Spread leaves three or four inches deep on the floor of the hen house. This material helps absorb the drop - pins and provides a means of feed- ing the grain in allele a way that the hens are obliged to exercise by scratching for it. New Game Foods From the North Of course it will come as a shock ' to the Englishman, in touring Canada, to take his favorite chair at the table in his favorite hotel or restaurant, scan the raid and find that roast beef, just plain roast beef, is missing, But in its place he may find, roast rein- , deer, broiled Arctic musk ox or a cut I of caribou, And the Englishman, lov- ing to fake a chaace, because he likes genie foods, most likely will order the reindeer, the musk ox or the caribou, In 1917 when the shortage of foods throughout the world became serious and the Allies, wherever they might live, were urged to speed up produc- tion if the war was to be won, the De- partment of the Interior had passed the Northwest genie act placing the fur trapping and trading industry un- der control. Closely following a arm - mission was appointed to consider the advisability and possibility of develop- ing reindeer and musk ox herds as a means of supplying food and clothing, The results are beginning to be real- ized now, and the commission reports that Canada has available for this new industry more than 1,000,000 square miles in the North, and that all of this is suitable for the propagation of the reindeer and the musk ox, and that the caribou—the barren land caribou —already thrives there. This territory is unsuited for the cultivation of fruits and cereitis, but for grazing purposes it is excellent, In other parts of the world the increased cultivation of fruits and grains has de- creased the areas suited for grazing purposes, but on those wild square miles in the north of Canada there has been no encroachment due to the war and its call for increased food sup- plies. Already it has been found that the Arctic Musk ox, a rather untreatable animal, can be domesticated, and that he will yield a large meat supply with a game taste, to be sure, and that at the same time he will assist in in- creasing the supply of wool. A Bird That Hates Darkness For many years the annual migva- tion of the birds, although a perfectly familiar fact, was shrouded in Mys- tery. Except in the case of a few birds like the robin, which winters not far south of its summer home, no one knew where the song birds or the shore birds went in the fall, or when they began their northward flight in the spring. But the subject has been carefully and patiently studied by so many ob- servers and naturalists that it is no longer impossible to answer these questions. The cliff swallows and blackpoll warblers spend their winters in tropical South America; the golden plover, which nests on the Arctic Sea, winters 8,000 miles away in the AT- gentine; the scarlet tanager is to be found in December and January in Ecuador and Peru, and the bobolink in southern Brazil. For a long time it was thought that the golden plover bore off the palm for length of ffigha between summer and 'winter homes, but now that dis- tinction is awarded to the Arctic hen. This bird breeds as far north as it can find anything stable on which to con- struct its nest; it has been found within seven and a half degrees of the pole. And that nest was found surrounded by a wall of newly fallen snow which the mother bird had care- fully scooped out from round her chick, The tern arrives in the Far North about June 15, and leaves again for the south toward the end of August, when the young birds are able to fly strongly. Two me -three months later the birds are found skirling the edge of the Antarctic continent, 14,000 miles away. What their track in over that vast space no one yet knows. A few individuals are occasionally seen along the New England coast in the fall, but the flocks of thousands and thousands of these gregarious birds which alternate from pole to pole have never been met by any trained observer competent to learn their pre- ferred path and their time schedule. They must travel at least 150 miles a day—apart from their flights in search or pursuit of food—to carry them with- in ten or twelve weeks from one end of the world to the other. The Arctic tern enjoy more houre of sunlight than any other creature on the globe, The sun never sets. dur- ing its stay at the northern nesting grounds, and during the stay in the south it has two months of eoutinuous sunlight and practical daylight for be- tween six and eight mouths of the year. 1 ' aes•••• • ,3Z=Pr."--------' ' Build Up With (ApecNufs Popular for He delightful, flavor and because it furnishe.S --'iterf4tin food values. neces- 'isary for building', the best in body, and brain .

If one travels through the country at the present time, the haying and harvesting machinery op many farms may be seen standing in the field where last used. It may have been drawn out Into the lane somewhere or may elan be at the barn, but not Inside it. In the Prairie Provinces there seems to be a sort of reckless abandon regarding the use of machin- ery. When a binder breaks down it is often drawn off to one side of the field and forsaken when it could be easily repaired and made to serve for a season or two longer. The prices of all kinds of farm im- plements have gone up and it is poor business to neglect the machinery by leaving it exposed to the weather:The wooden parts soon rot' away and the metal parts rust out. It takes longer also to get a rusty implement into working' order again. It is frequently stated that the far- mer is and must be to -day more of a business man than formerly. Men in other lines of business where ame. chinery is employed see that it is oiled,,and properly cared for in order to keep down production costs. The farmer should do the same. When he pays the price that he has to pay to -day for machinery he should take good care of it Cost of production can be reduced in this way, which means increased profits. Try it. WELL MIMED WITII BABY'S OW TABLETS Mrs. A. Bernard, La Presentation, Que., writes:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my baby and am well satisfied with them, I have recom- mended them to several of my friends who have also used them with bene. tidal results." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the stomach and bowels and thus prove of benefit in cases of indiges- tion, constipation, colic, colds, etc. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Listening Under Water. The art of listening under water Was brought to perfection daring the great submarine hunt of, the last year or two, and it is interesting to know from Professor Bragg, recently lec- turing at the Royal Institution, that the first experiments in this direction were begun less than a hundred years ago, says a London magazine. In 1826 a bell was Immersed and rung under water; and was heard across the Lake of Geneva. Electric bell signals can now be detected seven miles away under water, and down in the hold of a ship men can hear the sound of a shovel dropped inside another passing ship. For the use of the blind a geograph- ic and industrial atlas of Great Britain has been prepared, consisting of twenty maps in relief and 202 pages of embossed descriptive text.

A man weighing about eleven stone would produce, if his body were con- verted into hydrogen and other gases, about 35,000 cubic feet of gas, worth about lie, 2d. for illuminating pur- poses. He would also contain sufficient fat to make a fifteen -pound, candle, enough carbon ,to make 9,000 pencils, enough phosphorus—about fifty ounces—to make 800,000 matches. His body con- tains sugar equivalent to sixty lumps and twenty spoonsful of salt, The contents of a thousand eggs would provide all the necessary in- gredients for making his body anew. strinayeeu LintmontStelievos Neuralgia, A Giant Sun. Canopus, the giant of the solar sys- tem, is, according to a recent calcula- tion, 49,000 times as bright as the sun. Its diameter is 134 times that of the sun; it is 18,000 tunes larger in sur- face, and 2,420,000 times larger in volume. The distance of it from us, according to this calculation, is 489 light years. "Suppose," says another authority, "that Instead of being at this enor- mous distance it were placed, in the centre of the solar system, in lieu of the sun? It would then occupy .85 of the space lying within the orbit of Venus, and as seen from the earth would subtend an angle of about 70 degrees of arc. Thus, when its lower limb was on our horizon, its upper would be within 20 degrees of the zenith. Needless to say, no life could exist on earth with such a neighbor.

This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town it people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain. He says freezone is an ether com- pound which dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but is suffi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet.
