PRICE OF TEA HIGHEST IN YEARS ely During 1920 so much more tea was , produced than was required through- out the world that elle market dropped • to a comparatively low point. So serious was the position of the grow - ars in India, Ceylon and Java that they agreed to produce 20 •per cent. less tea during 1921. The result was. that less tea was produced than was required, and now all surplus stocks ' have pretty well been exhausted to fill the deficiency. •Prjees in the last four months have steadily advaneed,1 until the market to -day is at • level as high as was ever before reached even during war years.

He Is Satisfied With The Results THAT'S WHY HE PRAISES DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. Quebec Man Who Suffered from Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Backache Gave a Thorough Trial to Dodd's Kidney Pills. St. Prosper, Dorchester Co., Que. "May 7th. (Special).—Mr. Joseph La- rochelle, well known and highly re- spected here, is telling all his friends of the satisfaction he ,get from the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I suffered for many years from Bright's di4eiese, diabetes, backache and headache," Mr. Lirrochelle states. "I took from iq to 16 boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I can tell you I am satisfied with the results. I advise all who use Dodd's Kidney Pills to take enough to make them well." 'Dodd's Kidney Pills have been in use in Canada for more than a quar- ter of a century. They are known by the good they have done.

For pure and unadulterated impu- dence, Jack of principle and of all Virtue, the frigate bird is pre-emin- ent. These birds muet be endowed with ' prodigious powers of flight. They are n one place c 'FP o seen u r so ories totalled seven tons of mice. 11and, appearing as mere specks in the Rata and mice invaded houses, sky. stores, warehouees, markets, and be- After hovering almost motionless sides destroying fabrics of all kinds , for a considerable time they take and leather goods, they attack all flight in ever-increasing circles in the kinds of food. In country districts ' direction of their islandhomes, which they attack poultry and often Whole ' have of necessity to be/reached ere flocks of goslings are carried off in a single night by rats. They also attack 'chickens and destroy large numbers. This is very dishearten, Mg to the farmer's wife, who has spent much valuable time, and ener- • gy in the industry. The greatest enemy of the rat is the barn awl, which is the farmer's greatest friend. It is a lamentable fact that these are destroyed in large numbers and . not protected by the farmer and the poulterer as they should be. Many of the hawks are also very valuable as destroyers of rats and mice. The rough -legged ' hawk is especially beneficial in this way. It is the largest of the Canadian hawks and is often called hen hawk, and yet it never kills a head of poultry at any time, nor does it ever kill birds of any sort. Out of 32 speci- mens examined,, there was found in ene stomach a frog, in another the flesh of a muskrat. taken from a pile of bodies in a marsh. Another stomach was filled with large grass- hoppers, and the rest contained /nice. and nothing but mice, or traces of them, ranging in quantity from a little fur and a few bones to seven whole ones. The sparrow hawk also feeds chiefly on mice and is innocent of destroying poultry, so these birds are entitled to consider- ation at our hands instead of the ersention they generally meet. After a close inquiry was made in Europe, it was estimated that each rat cost Great Britain annually, $1.R0; France, $1.00; Denmark, $.1.20. The losses in rural districts in Great Britain and Ireland in the same year were computed to be $70,000,000. In the United States the loss an- nually by rats is estimated at $200,- 000 000. In Western Ontario, we find the mice in another quarter, where they are not very much disturbed, can make splendid homes and live hap- pily in our rural schools. A good many of these schools were erected over twenty-fiVO years ago. some abouty fifty years ago, and have many creeks in the walls, holes in the flooree and a splendid harbor for mice under the school floor. Al- though often tales came home of a mause running across the floor and the ^sport it furnished, still few of the ratepayers realize how much these rodents destroy in a rural school, or the value of the books, etc., destroyed. In one school located a short dis- tance from a village in Middlesex county, a Mechanics' Institute lib- rary had been stored when the In- stitute ceased to exist. These books were bound in excellent binding and were of the highest literary value, and the teacher of ethat school re- ported that scarcely one book had escaped the attacks of mice, many being rendered almost useless. The same thing has occurred to many books in various libraries through- out the rural districts. Especially does this occur during vacation times when the teacher is not pre- sent, and although the rural school- teaehers usually notify the trustees of what is liable to occue, little is done to destroy these harmful and expensive creatures. As a result money is required to be expended for what has been destroyed and this amounts to large sums throughout our province. Mice and rats are also a menace to 'health. They are carriers of disease germs. It is believed that the rat is instrumental in the spread of infantile paralysis: 'Bubonic elague is transmitted from rats to human beings by fleas. There are Some effective niethods• of destroying -the pests, such as trapping with ehe tering or guillotine-tyne of trap or wire cage trap, and poisoning. The greatest care ,neust be feet- cised if poison is used, and it is a noor method to use in a house, as the corpses may prove objectionable. Barium carbonate is a cheap tasteless and odorless raison. I may be mixed in a dough conlkosed of four parts of meal or flour and one part of the poison. or a stiff dough of eight parts of oatmeal and one of poison. The poisoned dough should be placed in the etin- ways of the animals. MOST FARMERS SUFFER LOSS FROM MICE AND RATS EACH YEAR The brown rats and mice, the -worst pests with which the Cana- dian }farmer is afflicted came to North America from abroad and possess habits adaptable to almost any kind of environment and feed upon all kinds of animal and vege- table matter. They are especially of menace to the grain crops. There is scarcely a farmer who does not suffer considerable loss from onice and rats destroying portions of his grain each year. No kind of grain is spared, *heftier growing or -stack- ed in the field, stored in the gran - lay or elevator, in railway cars, everywhere they take large sup- plies. In Australia, in 1917, owing to the lack of transportation, vast quanti- ties of grain ready to be exported were stored in Ntw South Wales and 'Victoria. A Tissue of mice devel- the setting of the sun, unless the fac- ulty of sleeping on 'the wing is pos- sessed by them. I have never met or heard of a man who has seen the frigate bird rest on the waters of the ocean over which it delights to wander. Next to the Albatross, I enter the frigate bird for the aeronautic endur- ance stakes. l'o CHOICE OF ROUTES TO WESTERN CANADA The Canadian National Railway in addition to providing unexcelled ser- vice between Eastern and Western Canada, offers patrons optional routes. You may travel westward via the Port Arthur -Fort William route, re- turning the northern route via Coch- rane and North Bay, or vice versa. This means that you are in new en- vironments continuously. A train leaves Toronto (Grand Trunk Rail- way) at 8.45 p.m., carrying Standard Sleeping Car 'to Winnipeg via North Ba,y, Cobalt and Cochrane daily, and thfough tourist sleeping car Toronto to Winnipeg on Tuesdays, Thursdays Saturdays and Sundays. "The National," a solid through train, leaves Toronto for Winnipeg at 10.35 p.m. every Monday, Wednes- day and Friday via Sudbury and Port Arthur with Standard and --Tourist sleeping cars, coaches, colonist car, and dining -car service.

Returning, the Greyhound will leave Detroit Thursday. the 1:411, at 1 tis) p. nt., reaching Goderich 9:00 p. nt that coining. On Friday morning at 0:30 she will depart for Detroit on the final trip. According to newspaper reports, De- troit is rationing its usual prosperity by leaps and binds. Headlines of recent issues indicate that the totnplovers (of that city are finding it almost impos• mild(' to secure sufficient skilled labor to nu -t the requirements of the factory output. Very reeoontly the Packard Automobile Company added one thous- and 111( rtand ti ato Ford Company in one week added ten thousand 0)55 men to their forces. It is said that Detroit is practically free of unemployed men, and the Arialligan State Telephone Company and the Detroitso Edison Company an- nounce they are laying conduits ' for telephone and electric lighting service to takto car,. of a city of two million people within the next ten years. Nature has dealt most bountifully.with Canada in providing her with beattdo immense and varied playgrounds. Large areas. covered with virgin forest, interlaced with lakes, rivers and streams, have been set aside by the Govern - merle -where the tourist, traveller and sportsman may find recreation and where game fish are abundant and wild life roams unmolested. Such is Nipigon Park, one of Ontario's great forest reserves. It has an' area of 7,300 square miles. No national playground in Canada offerssuch sport to nimrod and novice alike, for these cold green waters of the north are alive with the gamiest of trout. Trout have been taken from these waters up to a record weight of 141 pounds. Orient Bay, three and a half hours run east of Port Arthur, on the Tornnto- Winnipeg line of the Canadian National Railways, is the gateway to this f,..herl- man's paradise. At Orient Bay, Nipigon Lodge—a rustic hunting and f.shing lodge de luxe—is set among the pines and cedars. From here. all Gie'Nort trips may he made either by motor -boat or canoe. Prince Arthur o; naught, while touring Canada --and, later, the Prince of Wales—fished ;tele waters and caught their limit of Nipigon trout. A trophy is awarded annually by the Canadian National Railways, the. fisherman catching the largest Nipigon speekled,trout. Last selpoit five' contenders secured fish weighing five pounds and over. The xp.. .t.onts. that won the prize tipped the scale' at seven pounds. Should Mean $1000 or More to You on Completion of Our Plans ---Read !
