Zurich Herald, 1917-06-01, Page 3nn C YOONG FOLKS A Eine Solution, Indeed, I try my very best To learn the lesson well, And why I ;fail at every test I really cannot tell! For, with my atlas in my lap, I'm sure of every place, Each state and country on the map, Each river, I can trace, But teacher says when I recite A dreadful thing occurs; I don't get any answers right— . At least, they're not like hers! Utah becomes a town of Spain Beside Lake Sunapee! Peru, a river of Touraine, Flows to the Caspian Sea! I tell her that the Middle States Lie southwest of the Horn, Washed by those queer Magellan Straits, Cancer and Capricorn! So teacher shakes her head and sighs. "Whatever shall I do With such,pa stupid boy?" she cries. "What will become of you ?" If she feels sorry for my sake And wants to have me pass, She'll be obliged to let me take My atlas to the class! —Johnson Morton. .."Go To Work And Make Yourselves Some." In a great yard at the edge of a city stood several pine trees and three big maples. All winter long the pine trees had ' worn their pretty, warm green dresses, while the maples stood shamefacedly by, bare and cold in the bleak wintry air. Finally, when the warm spring sunshine began to work its wonderful magic in the air, the maples could stand their bareness no longer. "I'm so ashamed!" cried the biggest Maple." "This sunshine makes me feel queer'!" "I think we ought to get some new clothes," suggested the middle-siz- ed tree. "Yes, everyone has new clothes for spring, and we ought to have some, too," added the smallest Maple Tree. "You're quite right," said the big- gest Maple, and he looked over the yard and saw the fresh green of the lawn, the bright crocuses here and there, and the tulips ,by ethe .,,walk 'ren the people passing on- the street looked fresher and brighter than dur- ing the cold winter storms. "Yes, we must have some new frocks." "Let's ask the Pine Tree; her dress is always fresh and green. Maybe she can tell us how to get some new clothes," suggested the middle-sized tree hopefully. "Oh, Friend Pine Tree, can you tell us how to get some pretty green frocks like your's?" "That I can," replied the Pine Tree cheerfully. "Go to work and make yourselves some." But the maples did not like that ad- vice. "We don't want to work so hard or wait so long; we want dresses right away," they said. "Let's ask the South Wind; maybe she knows where to get clothes," sug- gested the biggest Maple. So the next time the South Wind blew through the yard they asked her. "To be sure I can tell you where to get new dresses," laughed the South Wind. "Go to work and make your- selves some." "That same advice!" grumbled the Maples. "Let's ask the Sunbeams." So bright and early the next morn- : ing they asked the Sunbeams their question. "New clothes?" laughed the Sun- beams. "Go to work and snake your- selves some." And then the Maples began to notice and to think. "Perhaps, after all, we shall get them just as soon if we make our own clothes," said the middle-sized Maple, "Let's try." So all three maples set to work. Soon the South Wind blew by. "Oh, are you working?" she asked. "Do let me help you!" And quickly she blew a dozen warns breezes through the bare branches. And the Sunbeams, when they came visiting, cried, "Oh, if you are mak- ing clothes. we want to help!" And they bathed the trees in golden light. Eren the raindrops, up on a cloud, saw these busy trees and carne tuinbl- ing4down to help all they could. And so, in no time at all, or so it seemed, those maples were dressed in neist frocks Of green. "Just look!" exclaimed the smallest I tree, as she settled her new gown with a dainty rustle. "We made them so quickly, and everyone has been so !rind, r,nde " "'['hat's because you worked, your- self," whispered the South Wind. "We all like to help workers." And away she blew to find another busy tree, --•- Youth's Companion: Hard Picking.

Nature intended every girl and every woman to be happy, attractive, active and healthy. Yet too many of thele find their lives saddened by suffering— nearly always because their blood is to Mame. A.11 those unhappy girls and women with colorless cheeks, dull skins and sunken, lusterless eyes, are in this condition because they have not enough blood, red blood in their veins to keep them well and in the charm of health. They suffer from depressing weariness and periodical headaches, Dark lines form under their eyes, their heart palpitates violently after the slightest exertion, and they are often attacked with fainting spells. These are only a few of the miseries of blood- lessness. Nothing can secure girls and women from the inevitable decline that follows anaemia except a gener- ous supply of new, rich, red blood, and nothing has ever proved so successful in creating red, good blood as Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills for Pale People. Thousands and . thousands of girls and women owe their good health and charming complexion to the use of this medicine. Here is one example of its power to cure. Miss Dorina T3astien, St. Jerome, Que., says: "For over a year my health was gradually failing, my blood had seemed almost to have turned to water, my cheeks were pale, my lips bloodless, and the slightest exertion left me breathless. I suffered frequently from severe headaches, my appetite failed, and my friends feared I was going into consumption. I had been doctoring but did not derive any benefit, and finally I had to give up my work and return home. It was at this stage that a friend brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and urged me to try them. By the time the box was used I thought they were helping me, and decided to continue using the pills. I took a half dozen boxes more, when my strength had completely returned, my appetite was restored, my color returned, headaches had disappeared and I was feeling bet- ter than I had been for years. I would urge every weak and ailing girl to give Dr: Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial." These pills are said by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a_ box or six boxes for $2.5Q. from The Dr: QGilliauis ,,il�edieineMCoa,aolt ville, Ont. .. . • The Kid Has Gone to the Colors. The Kid has gone to the Colors And we don't know what to say; The Kid we have loved and cuddled Stepped out for the Flag to -day. We thought him a child, a baby, With never a care at all; But his country called him man-size— And the Kid has heard the call. The Kid has gone to the Colors; It seemed but a little while d Since he drilled a schoolboy army In a truly martial style. But now he's a man, a soldier, And we lend him a listening ear; For his heart is a heart all loyal, Unscourged by the curse of fear. Minard's Liniment Co., Ltd.

Con- sume Little Meat, Very little meat is produced or con- sumed in Japan, the people depending mainly on vegetables, such as rice, fish, certain bulbs such as tiger lily• and seaweed, which are very nourish- ing and different from anything found along our seacoast. Peas and beans are largely culti- vated in Japan, which resemble our bush beans and are very prolific, in- cluding twenty or more varieties; rad- ishes in all sizes, including the salcurajima, which grows from half a pound to a pound. The long white radish nerine is ten to twelve inches long and very delicious. Cucumbers include the climbing va- riety which has been introduced in this country; carrots of large size and fine flavor; eggplants, turnips and a pump- kin which in size and flavor rivals our best, excellent as a pie filling or cooked as we cook turnips. The udo compares favorably with asparagus. The delicious Chinese cabbage makes an excellent table dish and is used , in many ways. In Japan vegetables in seasonable assortment are peddled in two baskets e carrid across the shoulders on a bam- boo pole, brought fresh daily to the door for the housewife's selection. All these vegetables can be grown in our Canadian gardens and the culti- vation is the same as required for our vegetables. CONCRETE ON THE FARM The Laying of Walks Around Farm Buildings a Convenience. This has been called the age of con- crete. This statement applies to the. farm as elsewhere. Concrete floors and walls in a granary will keep out rats. Concrete floors in the stables will prevent the loss of the liquid man- ure and assist the farmer in the con- servation of its fertility. Concrete is useful in curbing and covering the well to keep out dirt and disease. It can also be used for the floors of gar- ages, which are rapidly increasing on farms. Other uses for concrete are numerous, but there is one purpose for which it is seldom used, i.e., laying a walk from the house to the barn, If such a walk were provided from the barn to the house the farmer could come to the house without get- ting his feet muddy, which would be highly appreciated by _the housewife • HEALTHY CHILDREN It is natural for little ones to be well, and with care every baby can be kept well, The main thing towards keeping little ones well is to keep their little stomach sweet and their bowels regular.

Con - earning them Mrs. Hilaire Desmarais, St. Joseph de Sorel, Que., writes: "I believe Baby's Own. Tablets are the best medicine in the world for child- ren. My baby was terribly constipated but the Tablets promptly cured him and now he is a big healthy child." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. ENCOURAGE CULTIVATION Campaign by Canadian Pacific Ry. to Meet Food Shortage. In order to encourage the settle- ment and cultivation of vacant lands in the Western Provinces, the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company, through its Colonization and Develop- ment Department, of which Mr. J. S. Dennis is the head, has undertaken an active campaign to try and induce absentee owners to cultivate their holdings. A circular has been issued to some 8,000 absentee owners, pointing out the profits which can be made by cultivating their lands, and showing how many farmers sold their last years' crop for more than the original cost of their farms. The Company offers the advice and assistance of its Colonization and Development Department free of charge, in supplying reliable informa- tion as to how to go about getting the land under cultivation and will send, on request, the fullest details as to routes of travel, customs regula- tions, passenger and freight rates and similar data. In undertaking this calnaign the Con.pany is following its usual broad policy of Dominion -wide development, realizing that every new settler means greater production to meet the food shortage which at present threatens. the world, and which Canada, with its extensive and fertile unplowed areas, can provide.

There are a million small farms in Rumania and only a few thousand large ones; but the few big landown- ers have more land than the many small ones.

Th Order of the Victoria Cross—if it ear be called an order --was practical!; an outcome of the Crimean War; P08 sibly the immortal charge of the Ligh Brigade inspired the idea. For those who have not handled a Victoria Cross it may be as well to say that it ii adorned with a crown surmounted b3 a lion and a small scroll bearing the pregnant words, "For Valor." On the reverse of the medal is given the date or dates of the deeds of heroism fol which it was awarded, the name of the recipient being inscribed at the back of the bar, to which it is attach- ed by a V.

Agriculture must not only be self-supporting, but, in large degree, agriculture must support our other great industries. Without agricul- ure, the coal and iron would be left n the earth, the forest would be left • uncut, the railroads would be abandon -1 d, the cities depopulated, and the ' wooded hind and waterways would gain be used only for hunting and i Shing.
