A BIBUILOUS DREAM
The following plan is better am
much cheaper than the real goods
at ten or twelve dollars pet gallon:
I dreamt last night -of a land so fair
Where the rivers were flowing with
Pilsiner beer,
And fountains of rickies shot up in
the air
And everything else seemed queer!
Wide brooks of jin tizzies on every
hand;
Great likes of cold Rhine wine,
And the pumps spouting cocktails
to beat the band
For the thirsty ones standing in
line.
Creme de Menthe swamps of a
beautiful green
And islands of fine cracked ice;
Such a sight before never was seen
Ah! but that dream was nice.
Mint Julips in puddles filled the
streets,
And the gutters were running with
booze,
Where the tired hobos soaked their
feet
When enjoying a heavenly snooze.
Champagne flowed from fire plugs
In bubbly streams, with a hiss;
And the street cleaners drank it
from,deep atone jugs,
Ala! what a dream of bliss.
Hillballs galore rolled about on the
ground
And were chased by the thirsty orowd
And the ;paralized grafters standing
around,
In their 'midnight glee, shouted aloud.
Ah! . this bibulous dream was a happy
dreaib,
The result of an all-night bat,.
When the wet things Sowed in a
bountiful stream,
And they carried me home on a slat.

6 WHY THE TEETH CHATTER
Tle little muscles whit close the
. jaw are acted upon by a cold in
anal a way that they pull the jaw up
and then let it fall by its own weight.
This, repeated many . times, causes
the teeth to click together and pro-
duce what we know as "chattering}'
-We think of it in connection wiiit
-our teeth because it is the teeth
'which make the sound but the cause
lies- in the muscles Which we use in
chairing or. in opening our mouth
when we epeaik. The chattering oc-
curs in spite of the will or brain. We
have little control ever it, and can
stop it only by clenching the teeth.
It is really a mild vsriety of spasm
caused by the chid, irh`ick acts on the
jaw muscles in much the same way,
that some poisons produce muecuIar
spasms which cannot be controlled.
CURATE, IN LOVE, KNIT FIRST,

The love of a poor Nottinghamshire

love -making was responsible for the
introduction of the stocking frame.
The curate, whose name was Wil-
liam Lee, immediately set Ms with' to
work to solve the difficulty, and in
1689 he invented his stocking -frame.
He removed to London, and Queen
Elizabeth saw his ingenious 'inven-
tion, which could also be used, and.

SPREADER COSTS $28 A YEAR
' Very few farm machines have a
greater annual depreciation then the
manure spreader. The annual de-
preciation is 10.25 per cent. a year.
With. a $200 spreader this amounts
to 620.60 a year. The annual cost
consists of this depreciation and in-
terest on the average investment,
amounting at six per cent. to $6, also
instjrance, housing and repairs, about
one per cent. of the original value
of the spreader, or about $2 a year.
This makes an annual cost of $28.60.
If a farmer has 20 acres to cover
every year with manure, the spreader
cost per acre would be $1.43. If he
spreads the manure at the rate of 10
loads an acre the spreader cost per
spreader instead of covering 20 acreal
a year could be used for covering 40
acres, the per load and per acre cost
would be reduced materially.
There are, of course, other features
to be considered in purchasing a
spreader, the moat important of
which is perhaps that manure appli-
ed with a spreader goes farther and
as a rule gives better results than
when spread by hand. The cost of
machine spreading is of course less
than hand spreading, and the work
of handling the manure with the
spreader is much easier.
For removing rusted screws from
metal a screwdriver has been invent-
ed that is operated by a ratchet in a
handle extending to one side at an
angle to afford leverage.

The chief symptom of rheumatism
is pain. The moat successful treat-
ment is the one that most quickly re-
lieves and banishes the pain. Many
rheumatic people suffer pains that
could be avoided by building up the
blood; when rheumatism is associated'
with thin blood it cannot be corrected
until the blood is built up.
Mr. Ed. Hall, Main -a -Dieu, N. B.,
suffered from rheumatism for years,
but was more fortunate than many
victims of the disease For he found a
remedy that so built np his entire
system that he is now free from
rheumatism. Mr. Hall says: "I was
taken down with rheumatism, and at
times was under the treatment of
several' of the best doctors in Cape
Breton, but they held out no 'hope for
my recovery from the trouble. " I was
confined to bed for three years and a
helpless cripple from the trouble. I
could not move, and had to be turned
in sheets. My legs and fingers were
dra*ti out of shape, and sores devel-
oped onfluffy body as the result of my
long. confinement to bed. I Was in
this serious condition when a friend
advised: the use of Dr. Williams'. Pink
Pills and I began taking th m. The
�st..benefit I felt from the iris was
an improved appetite, and thlfi I be -
`gen to feel stronger, and was finally
able to get out of. bed and go about
on crotches. I continued taking the
pills for months, slowly but surely
getting new strength, and finally I
was able to lay the crutches aside. I
will always be lame as' the result of
my long stay in bed my left leg has
shortened somewhat, ,but otherwise I
am feeling fine and able to do my
work as Fishery OOerseer. I may
add that when the rheumatism came
on I_weighed 140 pounds, and when I
began going about on crutches I only
weighed 67 pounds, and now I ani at

who know and can vouch for the
truth of these statements."

In Britain, there le always such a

The new Viscount Astor, formerly
Major Vincent Waldorf Astor, is one
of a number of "Young Tories" who
have devoted themeelvee to social re -
forma, earning a deep debt oI grati-
tude from their countrymen.
The outstanding example of the
"Tory Radical" is Philip Kerr. This

inside the Tory party and without,
towards policies of social readjust-
ment arid regeneration. Since the
war, as conAdential adviser'. to Lloyd
George, his attention has been occu-
pied almost entirely with foreign af-
fairs, but 1t is hoped that, as times
'become normal again, he will resume
his interests In domestic problems,
too.
All of which goes to show that,
although Liberalism and Toryism, as
represented in political parties bear-
ing their names, go different paths
and have different outlooks, there 1s,
between them, a Balt -way land where
their Ideals and their practices meet.
It 1s probable also that the newer
