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.

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 ex Com' aborti out•tthird' bex' !prase!

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.

Moat 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." ew Never fai11su-regU all the :Bev? A tww.thi s morel= 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.

Y v Y 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 - 7 e PERS 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 They're yours DON'T take chances with fire in Ontario's forests. DON'T throw away cigarette or Innis, pipe "heels" or a burnt matches until von are dead sure they are nut. DON'T neglect to drown out your are with lots of water. DON'T build your romp fire against n rotten log or stump — nn r on windy 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.
