KEEP CHILDREN WELL
DURING HOT WEATHER
Every mother knows how fatal the
hot summer months are to small
children. Oholera infantum, diarr-
hoea, dysentry, colic and stomach
troubles are rife at this time. and
often a .precious little life is lost
after only a few hours' illness. The
mother who keeps Baby's Own Tab-
lets in the house feels safe. The oc-
casional use of the Talblets prevent
stomach and bowel troubles, or if
the trouble comes suddenly -as it
generally does -the Tablets will
bring the baby safely through. They
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25c' a ,box from The Dr. Wil-
liams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont.
CHISELHURST
(Too Late for Last Week.)
Notes.-"ir, Richard Nicholls, of
London, was in this neighborhood
visiting friends during last week. -
Mr. Bert Vennor is at present
fined to the house suffering from a
sore knee. It is rather unfortunate
coning as it does at such a busy
time. It is to be hoped he will
make a rapid recovery. -.Harvest is
nearing completion, the crops being
somewhat lighter than in past years.
MAN GIVES WIFE
GLYCERINE MIXTURE
She had stomach trouble for years.
After giving her simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad-
ler-i-'ka, her husband says: "My wife
feelt fine now and has gained weight.
It is wonderful stomach medicine."
Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and
lower bowel, removing four matter
which poisoned stomach and which
you never thought was in your sys-
tem. EXCELLENT for gas on the
stomach or chronic constipation.
Guards against appendicitis. The
impurities it brings'out will surprise
you. E. Umbach, druggist.
LIGHTNING CLEANSES THE AIR
Lightning is extremely healthful,
asserts a scientist who has made that
his lifetime study. He does not mean
that it is healthful to the person
lightning strikes. What he means is
this:
"Lightning produces nitric acid and
cleans the whole atmosphere of nox-
ious exhalations."
Had there never been a flash of
lightning upon this earth in all the
years of its existence the air now
would be so foul that living would be
impossible, some scientists say.
Husband's Story Will
Amaze Seaforth
He says: "Adler-i-ka helped my
wife for gas on the stomach and sour
stomach in TWENTY MINUTES. It
works beyond greatest expectations„'
Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and
Iower bowel removing foul matter
which poisoned stomach. Brings out
all gasses and sour, decaying food.
EXCELLENT for chronic constipa-
tion. Guards against appendicitis.
Adler -i -Ira removes matter you never
thought was in your system and
which may have been poisoning you
for months. E. Umbach, Druggist.
PIPE CLEANER
Those who object'to cleaning their
pipes in the usual manner may be
interested in the method devised by a
French doctor. Fill a glass test tube
with alcohol and attach it to the
mouthpiece of the pipe by means of
a rubber tube. Now heat the tube
containing the alcohol. In a few
minutes the alcohol is boiling; it rises
through the attaching tubes and en-
ters the pipe. When the greater part
of the alcohol has left the tube, this
is taken out of the flame; the alcohol
cools and flows back into the tube,
carrying with it all the impurities it
has dissolved. This operation may be
repeated several times if the pipe be
very foul
DEATH IN THE
V NG -
SHA I BRUSH
The menace of the horsehair shay=
ing-brush has become an threatening
that a movement has been started to
prohibit its manufacture by isw.
These horsehair brushes have been
found to be infected with the gems
of anthrax. a peculiarly virulent and
fatal malady. These germs live in
the bodies of herbivorous animals„
and if the hairs of such animals -
particularly the horse -be not pro-
perly sterilized, the microbes are
transferred to human beings as soon
as the brush is put into use.
Before the war shaving brushes
were made from the hair of cows,
goats, badgers, camels and also hu-
man hair. During the war horse-
hair was used for the sake of cheap-
ness. The hair was, not properly
sterilised, with fatal resits to many
of the users.
Anthrax spores are particularly
hard to destroy. They resist ordin-
ary disinfecting; they will actually
pass through tanning and bleaching
solutions and still retain their activ-
ity. Articles made from hog bristles
are not liable to be infected because
the process of treatment which they
undergo removes the contamination.
WAX FROM WEEDS
Four million tons of a wax -bearing
plant, with an estimated market value
of $40,000,000, are waiting annually
in Texas for some enterprising per-
son to pink them up.
This wax -producer is the candelilla
end the industry of manufacturing
the wax has long been an important
one in Mexico. The process of manu-
facture is by boiling and steaming,
or by 'beating the weed. The wax is
then shipped to England, France and
other European countries, and to the
United States, where it is refined and
used in making candles, phonograph
records, floor polishes and a variety
of other articles. The fibrous residue
may be used for the manufacture of
paper, but this is still in the experi-
mental stage.
WHY DO WE SPEAK OF "ROB-
BING PETER TO PAY PAUL?
To arrive at the origin of this
phrase, probably more common in
England than it is on tlfis side of the
water, we have to go back to the
days of the Sixteenth Century when
the famous Westminster Abbey in
London was St. Peter's Cathedral and
a marked rivalry existed between it
and St: Paul's. In' 1550 an appropri-
ation was made from the funds of
St. Peter's Church to make up the
deficit which, existed in the parish
of St. Paul's and those opposed to
the procedure made much of the
slogan, "Why rob St. Peter to pay
St. Paul?"
Some two hundred years later, on
the occasion of the death of Wil-
liam Pitt, this sentiment again came
to the fore, for the two cemeteries
were rivals for the honor of the
burial place of the famous states-
man. The municipality of London
claimed that the 'body of Pitt should
be interred alongside those of the
Kings of England and that to bury
him elsewhere would once niece be
"robe ing St. Peter to pay St. Paul."
Westminster Abbey won the contro-
versy. 'but the phrase remained in
the language, though it is usually ,
used without the titles of the two r
saints.
GOOD PLOUGHING.
Ploughing matches in years gone
by were common and very interest-
ing events. They became less popu-
lar as two -furrow and power ploughs
came into use, until ploughing threat-
ened to become a decadent art. The
aim seemed to be to plough the
greatest possible area regardless of
how the work was performed. Ef-
forts are now being made to revive
interest in better ploughing. Junior
Farmerscompetitions and local mat-
ches are being held in many places
and an Interprovincial Ploughing
Match and Tractor and. Machinery
Demonstration is being held 'at Ot-
tawa on October 14th, 15th and 16th.
Classes are open to boys, young men
and mature ploughmen. This will
be an educational event, intended to
stimulate interest in better plough-
ing and better farming. Good plough-
ing nearly always means better farm- i
ing throughout. Attention should
and can be paid to the quality as
well as to the quantity of the work.
COMMANDER OF IRISH REPUB-
LICAN ARMY
There is.nothing of the grand com-
mander of the Saint Patrick's day
parade which every year marches
down Main street in every city in
America, about Michael Collins,
commander of the Irish republican
army. He wears no feathers in his
hat and no green sash across his
chest.
What he does wear in his hat are
brains -plenty of them-clever,strat-
egic brains, 'unheated 'by disturbing
hatreds, busy every .minute on the
job without emotion.
"The man who handles troops,"
said he the other day, "has no time
for hatred of the other fellow. He
must beat him. That is all. In war 1
as in a fist, fight hatred will make a
man see red, or, possibly, not see at i
all, If he sees red Ire sees -inaccurate-
ly, which gives the other man a
chance, and if he sees not at all then i
the other man has all the chances."
As a matter of fact, real red -eyed
hatred semis to he less eommon than t
I had expected upon either side in a
Ireland.
Collins knows this quite as well as r
I do and takes advantage of it. 'Like s
all good commanders, he knows that
hatred, if it can be aroused among
his fighting men, will go far toward
causing them to fight with energy,
and he tries to arouse it. But it is
curious that he almost never mentions
England when he starts in to arouse
this hatred with one of his extra-
ordinarily able and wary often Char-
acteristically Irish little speeches.

CANNING VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS Al' H')9tE
"Canning," as the t,"m is emp:oy-
ed newedays, 's commonly applied to
the preservation of fns l not only in
tin cans, but also in ;;sass jars The
cant. are better for commercial use
because they are cheaper and can be
discarded after being opened, but for
domestic use the jars are better, as
they are more easily handled and can
he used, if riot chipped, year after
year only the rubber rings requir-
ing 'to be placed annually.
Decay of food products is brought
about by minute forms of vegetable
life moulds, yeasts and bacteria.
Canning preserves food .by destroy-
ing these and then by excluding them.
Their destruction is brought about by
subjecting the products and contain-
ers for a certain period to a high
temperature (at least 212 degrees
Fahr.) and their exclusion is achiev-
ed by hermetically sealing in the con-
tainers immediately 'after steriliza-
tion. If the sterilizing and sealing
have been properly done, the foods
should keep in good condition for
months or even years.
Steps in the Canning Process.
1. Prepare the canning utensils
and jars, Have everything thorough-
ly clean and see that the tops of the
jars fit properly.
2. Wash the fruits or vegetables
carefally.
3. Blanch the product by puttin:;
it into a cheesecloth and by dipping
in boiling water till the skins are
loosened. This step may be dispens-
ed with for berries and soft fruits.
4. Immediately after blanching',
plunge the product into cold water.
5. Pack the fruit or vegetables
into the jars, which should be clean
and hot.
6. Add hot water and salt season-
ing to the vegetables or hot syrup
to the fruits till the jars are full.
7. Put on the tons, hut do not seal
tightly.
8. Sterilize. This may be done in
an ordinary wash boiler provided
with a false bottom, which should al-
so be equipped with rims and handles
so as to serve as a tray for remov-
ing the ,jars. The boiler should be
filled with water about half -way up
the sides of the jars and the cover
of the 'boiler should be tightly shut
to retain the steam. The time of
sterilization should be counted from
the time the water begins to boil ac-
tively and it should be kept on the
jump till the process is finished. The
periods for various food products are
ss follows: Strawberries, s minutes;
peaches, 17 minutes; othr soft fruits,
12 minutes; hard fruits, 20 minutes;
tomatoes, 30 minutes; greens, beets
and carrots, 1% hours; peas, beans,
and corn, 3 hours.
9. Seal tightly immediately after
removal from the sterilizing bath.
Invert to test for leaks. .If a leak
is discovered sterilization she>Lld be
repeated, though not necessarily for
the same length of time. Trouble
may be saved by making sure that
jars are tight before using.
10. Protect the products from
light by wrapping the jars in thick
brown paper. Label and date. Store
in a dark and not too warm a place.

T'HE CAUSE OF BACKACHE
Only in Rare Cases Does Backache
Mean Kidney Trouble.
Every muscle in the body needs
constantly a supply of rich, red blood
in proportion to the work it does.
The muscles of the back are under a
heavy strain and have but little rest.
When the blood is thin they lack
nourishment, and the result is a sen-
sation of pain in those muscles. Some
people think pain in the back means
kidney trouble, but the best medical
authorities agree that backache sel-
dtm or never has anything to do
with the kidneys. Organic kidney
disease may have progressed to a
critical point without developing a
pain in the back. This 'being the
case, pain in the back should always
cad the sufferer to look to the con-
dition of his blood. It will be found
n most cases that the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills to build up the
blood will stop the sensation of pain
n the ill -nourished muscles of the
back. How much better it is to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the blond
hon to give way to unreasonable
farm about your kidneys. If you
uepect your kidneys any doctor can
nake tests in ten minutes that will
et your helms at rest, or tell you the
worst. But in any event to be per-
fectly healthy you must keep the
blood in good condition, and for this
purpose no other medicine can equalI
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
You can get these pills through
any dealer in medicine, or by mail at
50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
