R, Farrier, a successful farmer of this district, has quite an oddity in a wagon, which was brought over from Michigan over 40 years ago. It has been in continuous use ever since and still doing duty proving that disc wheels are not of a recent invention. This vehicle is fitted with solid oak wheels, five inches thick, 28 inches in diameter and tired with 14, inch steel, Singular though it may seem, only two of the tires have been reset in the space of years. Mr. Farrier said this was the handiest wagon ever owned on the farm, because of the low -set wheels and axle, making load- ing easy and no quantity seemed too heavy for it to carry.—Lu know Sen- tinel.

How it lived for nearly two weeks wandering in the neighborhood without any care is a mystery.—Listowel Standard. Some Tomatoes We were shown last week a tomato grown byi Mr. J. A.

Pain is one of nature's danger signals. Neverthe- less, it is most unfortunate that the public are apt to believe that if pain means danger, then the absence of pain ensures safety. That this is not true is evident when we come to con- sider how many of the major traged- ies of illness which undermines health and endangers life, occur without a twinge of pain until it is too late to do much about it. Ask the woman who comes to her doctor for the first time with a• can- cer of the breast why she did not come sooner, and almost inevitably the answer given is to the effect that she did not think the lump in her breast could be anything serious be- cause there was no pain. It, should be cried from the housetops that, in its early stages, cancer of the breast is painless; indeed it does not cause ev- en tenderness, There are exception- al cases, but no won><an has any justi- ficationfor thinking that she can ne- glect the lump in her breast just be- cause it does not give rise to pain or tenderness. There is another popular miscon- ception concerning cancers of the breast, namely that such cancers rare- ly occur in women under forty. It is quite true that the majority are found after that age, but it is equally true that a large number occur between the ages of thirty and forty, and that quite a number develop in women in their early twenties, occasionally even earlier. This simply means that a woman cannot say to herself: "I cannot have cancer of the breast because the To WINNIPEG EDMONTON JASPER, POCKY MOUNTAINS PA.

Cancer of the breast occurs at all ages, and at all ages it is usual- ly painless in its early stages. There is only one safe and sure way for a woman to approach this subject. She knows the appearance and the feel of her own breasts. If, at any time, she observes or feels a change in her breasts, then she should consult her doctor without any delay. By "change", we mean any discharge from the nipple, or alteration in the appearance of the nipple, or a feeling of thickening, or a lump in the breast. The reason why we insist upon the irnportanec of the early recognition of cancer of the breast is simply that when the symptoms are recognized early and properly treated, the results are good. Early treatment is the on- ly effective remedy, and early treat- ment can be given only if there is an early diagnosis, and early diagnosis depends upon the patient's going to.' her physician with the earliest sign_ Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter "Principle and its idea is one and this one is God, omniscient and omni- present Being, and His reflection is inn and the universe." -Mary Bakes - Ed dy. akerEddy. * * * * "One God, one law, one •element, And one far-off divine event, To which the whole creation move`" —Tennyson- * * * "Divine Love is our hope, strength,. and shield.

The loss is estimat- ed at over $3,000, partly covered by insurance.. Chicken Thieves Active On Tuesday evening Clarence Stan- ley of the 2nd Concession Kinloss had his large chicken house broken into and two dozen year-old hens stolen. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley had retired ear- I O ly. About 10.30 o'clock they heard quite a commotion in the Henhouse where they have a couple of hundred hens. On going ottt Mr. Stanley found that the thieves had already gone. A peculiar incident in connection with the theft was that Mr: Stanley could not locate his collie dog. Neither was the dog heard barking at the time of the theft. It therefore looks as if the chicken thieves were known to the dog and they had temporarily ,dispos- ed of it, Later on, however, the dog was located. Loses Valuable Bull Mr. J. D.
