HYDRO CHE-I.PER Substantial reductions in the charges made for power by the hydro -electric ower commission of Ontarie to 51 municipalities in the proVince, were anrounesd On Tues- day by the chairman, Sir Adam Peck.- coupled with the recomm- endation to the numerous COMMiS- SiO13S of a fairly general reduct- ion in trate to consumers. This latter list, however, will not be ready for some time. The decision to cut rates was reached after careful consideration had been gi en by experts of the department and the members of th, COMM:SADO itself to the surplus es credited to the various local Iconerniesions upon the businesis• of the last year. The surplus of these various loc- al bodies showed that the comm- ission can reduce approximately $75,00e from its charges for power for tho present year. Even after doing so it will still collect suff- icient to meet the cost of power, and make all 'allowances for it-, terest on invested capital, opera- tion, sinking fund, etc. Sir Adam Beck stated that the1 reductions will vary from 50 cents I per horsepower to $7.74. The.' village of Lucan is to get the' greatest reduction on. The most of the municipalitys will benefit by a reduction of frcm $1 co $2 per horsepower. While the complete list of reductions to each municip- alitiss which will get a "third rate for domestic lig,irting, which means that after a certain consumption of kilowat hours the consumer will get the balance of his power at one half cent per kilowat hour. 1 The financial statement for the fiscal year for the Niagara system' which includes 114 municipalities, showed a revenue from. the sales of power of $2,944,796. After de- ducting expenses of 0254,337 ce v- exing all charges on capital, int- erest, maintenance, operation, Taidia-- ministration and costs of power, left a surplus of $690,459. net surplus, after deducting all rev neWals, contingencies and sinking fuincl is $169,560.46. . There are several villages which had power increases, but where the consumption fell below the estim- ate. However, the total extra charge to shese place is only a.bout $9,000 and no increase in demestic rates will be permitted by the lcommissioin, at least not for the present. Municipalities in the Niagara sy- stem which Will get lower rates are; London, Pari, Windsor, Ch.- atham, Brantford, St. Thomas, Wo- odstock, Stratford, Guelph, Port 'Credit, Weston, Mimico, New!

URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you -Drink more water. I? you must have your meat eves". asy, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that meat forms uric acid which, almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef- forts to expel it from the blood.. They become sluggish and weaken, then you. suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach soma, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, he Channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three time during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and, flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jed Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then cid fine. This famous salts is made from the acid Sf grapes and lemon juice, oombined with Mae, gad has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending aladdes we.aknees. • -ad Salta is inexpensive; cannot ire iure, and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink. HIGHEST EGG RETURNS Secure These by Hatching Your Chicks Early. Not Every Farmer Should Plant an Apple Orchard -Only Those Who Understand the Business and Wish to Specialize- The Small Orchard Is Usually Not Profitable. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) HE early hatched pullets are usually the best winter lay- ers. Pullets hatched during the first three weeks of April not only lay from two to three dozen more eggs during the year but lay many more eggs during the win- ter. The average pullet begins lay- ing at an age of six and one-half to seven months; the later hatched ones are slower to mature than those hatched early. To be sure your' chickens will be hatched early an in- cubator is almost a necessity. The later the hens begin to lay, generally the later they become broody. An incubator is a machine and re- sponds to treatment the same as any other machine. It is not difficult to handle but it can not supply its own oll for heat or keep itself clean, nor yet can it supply the little chicks in- side the eggs with good pure air un- less the room in which the incubator is placed has good air. The room in which the machine is run should be clean and well ven- tilated. If you can sleep in the room comfortably it is good enough. Us- ually a cellar is the best place be- cause the temperature is more even and the machine is therefore easier to regulate as to heat. The incubator should be clean; especially is this true of the interior of the machine. It is advisable to brush out the ma- chine as clean as you can, the wash it out with water and soap and last- ly disinfect it. Perhaps one of the easiest materials to use is the com- mon tarry compounds that are used about the stables. Just spray or wash the machine thoroughly after each hatch. It does not take much time and saves a lot of trouble with the chicks. With some types of machines having cloth tops in the hatching chamber it is wise to remove the old cloth each season and replace it with a new piece. Be sure and test the thermometer. Take it into a drug st'ore and the druggist will test it for you along- side one of known accuracy. Many hatches are lost through bad ther- mometers. Get only clean eggs and of good size or set the kind of eggs you want the pullets to lay. Be sure your hands are clean when you turn the eggs. Oily or dirty hands lower the hatch. Do not keep the oil can in the same room as the incubator. When chicks hatch do not feed them before they are at least forty- eight hours old. Should they pant inside the machine open the door a little. Give them plenty of air. - Prof. W. R. Graham, 0. A. College, Guelph. Who Should Plant an Apple Orchard. The apple growing industry of the future in Ontario will be developed by men who like the work, and who have the perseverance and intelli- gence to meet the problems encoun- tered. The necessary practice and experience can be acquired as one goes along, and the difficulties of fin- ancing the business can be overcome by starting in a small way, or by putting one's time on other crops while the orchard is growing. The men who should not undertake apple growing are those who do not like the work, and those who from lack of experience and knowledge expect to find in it phenomenal profits. The apple industry offersperhaps as good opportunities for profit as are to be found in any other line of agricul- ture or horticulture, but is at the same time no more profitable, on an average, than any other well-manag- ed business; neither should encour- agement be offered to land specula- tors, many of whom in the 'past put out misleading information as to pro- fits to be made. The success of the industry will depend on, 1st, the man; 2nd, his local and farm con- dition. A man who understands orchard work and has a liking for it can make a success of apple orchard- ing as a side -line in general farming, in stock farming, or in dairying, al- though it may be pointed out that many dairy farmers find it does not pay to neglect their herds in order to care for a orchard. Orchards be- low five acres in size are likely to receive -very little attention on most farms, and farmers who wish to dee velob apple orchafde as a profitable side -line should plant not less than ten acres if possible. Orchards rang- ing in size from ten to twenty-fi-ve acres can be conducted as profitable side -lines on many farms, The commercial apple growing in- dustry is developing along two lines. There are now to be found quite a number of orchards ranging in size froni forty acres up to one hundred and twenty-five, or larger. These con- etttute highly specialized businesses and are soendceconomic propositions provided one is so situated as to have the extra labor required at picking titne. The chid difficulty with an orchard of this class is that a great deal of help Is required at certain periods of the year, while at other _periods those is -little or no ' work to 'De aoue. 'rms Problem, iixere- fore, becomes one of adjusting apple ercharding to other lines of produc- tion, so as to equalize the distribu- tion of labor throughout the year, it would appear that an excellent sys- tef of diversification could be worked oat by using strawberries, rasp- berries, currants and gooseberries along with apples or Other tree truits, excepting eherriea. Cherries conitict in picking season with the small fruits, but can be handled along with apples unless strawberries and raspberries are preferred.- Prof, I. W. Crow, 0. A. College, Guelph. The Question. At a dinner in Edinburgh, Baron Kickuchi, principal in Tokio Univer- sity, was a guest. An Englishman present told the story of a Scotsman who went to his dentist with an ach- ing tooth and was asked if he would have gas. He replied that he would, but he should like to count his money first. Everybody laughed but the baron. A Scotsman attempted to ex- plain the joke as the alleged foible of his race; the baron remained im- passive. Others tried, but the baron said: "I do not understand." Finally he stopped the explanations, "Gentle- men," he said, "you do not under- stand what I do not understand." His listeners gave rapt attention. "What I do not understand," he went on, "is not why the Scotsman said what he did, but how any Scotsman I should not know, at any time, with- ; out baying to count it, how much money he had in his pockets."

A Canadian officer, wounded early in the war, came to St. Katharine's Lodge, one of the American Red Cross orthopedic hospitals in Lou- don, to have his left arm made over. The elbow had been shattered. The officer was given a choice of having a weak, movable elbow, or a strong stiff one. Without hesitation, the Canadian chose the stiff elbow, and astonished the surgeons by asking that the arm be inside perfectly straight so he could use a hunting rifle and a billiard cue. --Another Canadian officer insisted on having his smashed leg so re- built that he could continue to ride a horse. It required months of or- thopedic treatment, but when the patient finally left the hospital to re- turn to his ranch in Western Can- ada he was ready for the saddle. These eases illustrate not only the special work of an orthopedic hospi- tal, but how closely the surgeons consult the wishes of their patients. settlement we will be in the store formerly occupied by R.
