WORDS OF PRAISE FOR
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
No medicine receives' such great
tpnaise from thankful mothers as do
Baby's Own Tablets. Once a mother
has used them for her little ones she
will use nothing else. The Tablets are
a mild but thorough laxative. They
o'egulate the bowels and stomach;
drive out con stipationand indigestion;
relieve colds and simple fevers; pro-
mote healthful 'sleeps and make teeth-
ing easy. Concerning them Mus. Omer

Baby's Own Tablets and will always
use them for my little ones." The
Tablets ere sold by medicine dealers

HOW JOHN BULL BECAME
ENGLISH
. In the reign of Queen Anne, a Scot-
tisb-Physician tamed John Arbuthnot,
famous as one of the most brilliant
wits of the day, brought out a book
called the "History of John Bull.”
This book, or "tract," poked shrewd
fun at the political intrigues of the
time, and in it the various nations in-
volved were (pictured as persons.
France was "Lewis Baboon" (a play
en Rink Louis XIV, of the ruling
house of Bourbon.) Proud Spain was
Lord Strutt, a
Nicholas Frog, after the frog of the
fable who tried to swell himself into
a bull, •
England was John 'Bull, hearty and
blunt, "an 'honest, plain -dealing fel-
speeuilative combinations, by antiiciiia-
tione of intelligence received through
the ordinary channels to make or mar
'themselves by one bald stroke.
The mechanical Wheels revolve
with accumulated epeed to oorrespond
to the lei haste of those who impel
them. The long hours of factory and
military -drudges, the gangs of night
and d labelers relieving each other
in pr't�ne offices and coal-pits—all'
the =intermitting, eager, 'go-ahead'
pressure of society --•are but so many
symptoms of the excitement which
impels men to live in a •hurry."
"A day of business,' this harried
writer goes op, "is a day of breath-
less taste. The duties of the •boilet
are hurried through, the breakfast is
gulped down without being tasted ;
the newspaper is skimmed with a dim
idea of its contettbs; the .place of busi-
ness is posted to in, chariot, cabor
bus; the day as spent in straining
to overtake complicated details of
business too extensive for the mind's
Atrium; it costa a race to be in time
fordinner, and dinner de curtailed of
its fair proportion of time for the de-
bate, or the committee, or the opera,
or the evening party, or all of then.
"Even sleep is got through im-
patiently, with frequent startings and
consultations of the watch, lest the
morning hours be lost. We snore in
quicker time than our..ancestors snor-
ed.

The book "caught on," as we should

FORD TELLS WHAT IS WRONG
WITH AMERICAN BUSINESS
The trouble with American industry
lies fundamentally in its disposition
to charge all that the traffic will bear
instead of figuring out what the con-
sumer would 'pay for a (product or
service, and then making the best
product or delivering the beat service
for that amount.
This is the opinion of Henry Ford,
who by :his outspoken statements is
said by one commentator to have
"thrown a bomb into the camp of big
business."
Ford says that what he calls an
unearned profit, in which the custom-
er does not rparticipste, is contrary to
the fundamental principles of nvanu-
facturingand cannot be permanent.
As soon as a manufacturer forgets or
neglects the consumer, his business
begins to go wrong.
The manufacturer, says Ford, who
doesn't think first of the consumer
is not •a business man. "He's a nut."
Unless it is profitable for the con-
sumer to trade with him, be can't
hope to get a profit for himself, and
unless 'he puts the price within reach
of the langesb possible number of
consumers, he doesn't expect his ,pro-
fits to be very great.
'Ford applies his general views to
the Particular problem of railroads,
which,' he says„"are for the sole pur-
pose of tnansporbation. There are
too many railroad mien acting on the
theory that railroads exist for the
railroad companies instead of for the

HOW TO BEST TREAT
STOMACH TROUBLE
A .Tonic Medicine is hieeded to
Strenghten the Stomach
The old-fashioned methods of treat-
ing stomach diseases aro being dis-
carded. The trouble with the old-
fashioned methods was that when the
treatment was stopped the trouble re-
turned, often in an aggravated form.
The modern methods of treating in-
digestion and other terms of stomach
trouble is to tone up the stomach and
glands to their normal work. The re-
covery of the appetite, the dissappear-
ance of pain after eating, the absen,:e
of gas, are steps on the road to health
that those who have tried the tonic
treatment remember distinctly. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are a , tonic
which through their action on the
blood are helpful in building up the
digestive organs, and therefore the
beat remedy for simple or chronic
cases of stomach trouble. The success
like that of Mrs. Joseph Leclere, Wel-
lingbon, P.E.I-., who says:—"I have
of the treatment is shown by cases
been a great sufferer from indiges-
tion and stomach -trouble, and noth-
ing that I took for it did me any good
until I began Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. I was so bad that I did not
want to eat, and when I did take food
it lay like a weight on my stomach,
often causing me much pain and
misery. I saw in an advertisment
what Dr. Wiliam& Pink Pills had
done in an similar case end began tak-
ing them, with the result that after
taking the pills for five or six weeks,
I am feeling better than I have done
for years. I hope my experience will
whelp other similar sufferers."
'You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer in medicine
or by mail, post paid, at 50e a box or
Rix boxes for $2.80 from The Dr. Wil-
liams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

fanners know When hay is cured
properly, but because of threatening
weather or for some other reason,
some men comrprornise and put in
feed that still eentadns too much
moisture, eomletimes giving them-
selves a false sense of security by
scattering salt in the mow or stack.
Moisture is the controlling factor,
whether it is rain that lies fallen on
tlte cut hay, or water within the
stems, makes no difference. If the
moisture content is low enough the
hay will not heat to the danger
point.
Alfalfa and clover and other hays
made from rather ewe -Went (plants
cause the most trouble from heat-
ing, and they should be given par- .
tieular care in curing. In some parts ,
of the country where rains are fre-
quent at haying time, it is hard to
get the hay Into ideal condition.
Some farmers cure it in cocks and
use canvas caps, but this is expen-
sive in time and 'materials. In humid
regions the danger from spontaneous
combustion in mows and stacks
!nay be lessened by the use of a
box -like ventilator, a skeleton tube
12 to 15 inches square and of any
length desired, depending upon the
size of the mow or stack. Tihe cor-
ners are 2 by 4's and the crosspieces
1 by 3'a, placed close enough togeth- -
er to keep the bay from failing
through and blocking the air pas-
sage. Diagonal braces are placed in
the box at .intervals to keep it from
collapsing under the weight of the
hay. These ventilators are usually
placed across the maw at internal
of 7 or 8 feet.
In some localities curing frames
or tripods •are used to hasten curing.
They keep the hay loose and up off
the ground so •that the air may cir-
culate freely through it.
When a mow or stack has become
badly 'heated there a a strong
temptation to go in and stir up the
tay, but often this is the worst
thing that can be done. Admitting
air to the bot centre of fermenta-
tion may be just the thing needed
to start a fire. If air does not get in
a part of the hay may be charred
without starting a fire; gradually
the mow cools and the only loos e
the 'hay that has 'been carbonized.
However, in the early stages, when
the hay is heating. it is sometimes
advisable to move hay from one
mow to another, or to restock. But
be sure it is not too hot.
Slow combustion inside the mow
can be detected by a peculiar sooty
odor or by smoke that is irritating
to the eyes.
BEAUTY IN MUD BATH,LONDON'S
NEW CULT
The mud cult is 'becoming the latest
craze in Landon, not the mud pie cult
of one's youth, but a search for beau-
ty through the medium of mud.
Women who desire clear skins and
white shoulders sit for thirty-five
minutes every day in the hair -dress-
ing department of the Savoy Hotel
with their faces, arms and shoulders
covered in mud.
The mud masseuse goes round, sees
that no one 'is suffocated, taps the
mud, and, when it is quite hard,
breaks the crust and washes it off.
The seeker for eternal youth then
emerges white end wonderful. '
This process, it is claimed, is one
of beauty's most valuable secrets,
and the treatment, which has only
just been ced in
is
'already becoming a cult The mud is
different from that used in the mud
batlhs in the south of France, but the
nod comes from the continent, and is
not chemically treated in any way.
"The effect of this mud on the skin
is astonishing" 'said the manager of
the :hair -dressing department to a
ne'ebspaper representative. "Women
with poor complexions and 'women
with wrinkled skins have derived
surprising benefit from it."
The mud is antiseptic, and it is
applied wet. In half an :hour or so
it. dries, and at the same time thor-
oughly cleanses the pores. Wlhen
the crust is broken the bare flesh tes
revealed gleaming white, with all
minor blemishes removed. Many
women have mud baths, or rather a
mud massage, several times a week
on those -parts of the body which even-
ing dress exposes."

For a 'spread on hot biscuits or
toast_ strawberry jam has few
equals. Its sweet, delicious fla-
vor makes children of us all.
A new and very revolutionary
method bas now been discovered
by which anyone can make a far
better duality quickly and very
economically. With the Certo
process full -ripe strawberries are
used and only three minute's' boil-
ing. is required—not. the 30 or
more minutes so necessary by the
old method. The result is a far
superior fruity flavor and two -
more product from the
same amount of fruit because no
juice is boiled away. Best of all,
the taste of fresh strawberries—
the kind youpicked in childhood
in the old berry patch down by
the woods—is now actually pre-
served for the dead of winter.
The Certo Process banishes all
guess -work or worry, as perfect
results are certain.
The new Certo Process for
making Strawberry Jam is very
simple:
4 level cups (2 lbs.) Pressed
Berries and Lemon Juice,
7% leveled cups (3% lbs.)
Sugar,
% bottle (scant 'h cup) Certo.
Select only small or medium-
sized, fully • ripened, berries.
Spread berries on they mass
single layer on fist plate
gently press each beery atearb'
fiat with bottom ef, ems % bo}tien,
(This leaves akins nearly intact
but ruptures fruit inside axed"
makes it hollow, allowing boiling
sugar to saturate tissues maiok-
ly.) Add juice of one lemon, Have
augur measured in saucepan.
Measure berries and juice into
large kettle, placing layer of
sugar over each cup et berries and
balance of -sugar on top. Mow
to stand over night,so that part
of sugar will be dissolved, and
miactare can be stirred and cooked
without crushing fruit. Stir con-
stantly and bring to a vigerous
boil over the hottest fire. Boil
hard for 8 minutes with `
con-
tinual stirring. Remove from fire
and add CEBTO, stirring it in
welL Skim at once and poor
quickly within five minutes from
removal from fire. Result is about
11 half -pound glasses of delicious
strawberry jam for abort 1 cents
per glass. ' '

WHY IS THE FLAG PLACED AT
HALF-MAST AS A SIGN OF
MOURNING?
Elver since flags were used in 'war
—a custom which dates back many
hundreds of years—it has 'been the
custom to have the flag of the sup-
erior or conquering nation fly above
the inferior or vanquished .as a sign
of the defeat. Similarly, When an
army ftfund itself hopelessly beaten,
it signified this by hauling its own ,
banner down far enough to permit
the flag of the victors to be placed
above it on the same pole. This
was understood :as a token, not only m
of submission, hut of respect.
Gradually, ^•heref ore, it became
customary .to lower the flag out of
respect for the memory of a dead
commander, and it then passed
from a purely military usage to '
:public life of all kinds—the flag at ,
halfamast (or, more properly, "half- ;
staff") being a sign that the person
Who was dead was one worthy of
universal respect. The apace left
above it is for rho flag of the Great-
est Commander of all—the angel of
death.
WHY DO OUR FACES KEEP
WARM i{:EN WHEN
U`CiVBRED Y •
Everyone has peperieneed the sen-
sation of facing. a cold wind which 1
causes then to hatton up their coats
and plunge their hands deeply into
their pockets. while their faces
tingle and ulo.'' and are frequent-
ly the warmest part of their body.
I.t appears only natural to expect ,
that 'the unary ed portion, of the
akin would be ;. rc coldest, but the
reverse is often 'rue, due merely to
u question of habit.
If a thermonr•"er were applied to
the skin of the face it would be
found that it is not really warm,
but distinctly ceId, in spite of the
fact that it do••sn't feel so. And
right here lips :'lie answer to the
entire question. The coldness or
warmth of any part of aur body
so far as we personally are concern-
ed, is not a natter of temperature
but one of feeling, and the skin of
our face, being accustomed to ex-
posure, feels warm even though it
may be 'at a temperature several de-
grees below that of Our arms or 'legs.
The latter, however, are kept cover-
ed and naturally react more readily
to cold—just as the person who is
ac'cu'stomed to living it, a tropical
climatte will shiver and shake on a
day that, to his northern brother,
may appear only brisk and invigorat-
ing. If we were in the habit of cov-
ering our faces as we do our bodies,
they, too, would feel the cold, but as
they are exposed at all times, they
becomie 'aoelima'ted to everything ex-
cept a very severe temperature.
TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT FIRES
WHEN THE HAY IS BEING
MADE
Usually, not until well after the
haying 'season is the subject of
spontaneous combustion in hay
brought up for discussion as a re-
sult of fire losses in barns through-
out the country, but the time for
considering :moans of rprabection is
at..haying time. as (prevention is the
only sure cure for spontaneous com-
bustion. The danger moist be antici-
pated before the feed is stored, and,
with first cutting of alfalfa and the
sweet clover harvest now near at
hand, now is the time to decide on
preventive methods in the cutting
and storing of the hay.
To the chemist and bacteriologist
there is nothing mysterious about
fires resulting from , spontaneous
combustion in .mows and stacks.
The heating process begins as a fer-
mentation produced by the growth
of bacteria in tnoiet any. When con -

ONTARIO'S forest wealth is dwindling. Every year forest
fires take disastrous toll. Careless campers cause eleven per
cent. of Ontario's forest fires. Last summer 112 cases of neg-
lected camp fires were reported. This summer be careful.
e Ontario's Forests

DON'T take chances with fire in
Ontario's forests.
DON'T throw away cigarette or

or a burnt matches until
von are dead sure they
are nut.
DON'T neglect to drown out

water.
DON'T build your romp fire

points; nor near mass
patches: nor at the baso
Of a tree.
Build it in ee former fire-
place, or n a ant rook.
or on a spot cleared down
to the true soil' below• or
by the edge of the water.
DON'T forget that t h e upper
layer nr ground in the
forest consits of par-
tially rotted wood which
will burn.
When you build your fire to make tea, fry
bacon or add cheer to pipe and story -telling
time, use a woodsman's precautions.
The real woodsman builds his fire on an old
fireplace, if there be one handy. Failing that
he scrapes away all litter, moss and fibrous
rotted wood down to the mineral soil, or the
bare rock, and preferably some place close to
the water. He knows that if fire gets into the
moss or the upper woody layer of forest soil,
or in a half -rotted log or stump, it "holds over,"
burns away unnoticed underneath, and unless foI-
lowed up and carefully put out, is liable to break
into a flame later. He knows how hard it is to put
such deep -smouldering fire out. So he makes his
cooking fire surprisingly small and compact, and
chooses a spot that is absolutely safe.
It is a mark of his finished woodsmanahip
how thoroughly he drowns his fire out with
plenty of water when he is through with it. Save
the forests. You may want to camp again.
