! THE VALUE OF QUALITY
'Quality is the standard by which
things. are judged. The delicious
flavor (which means "QUALITY")
that has always characterized SAL -
ADA has won for it the favor of
.millions of discriminating tea drink-
ers. The , standard always adhered
to has been the keynote of SALADA
success, and rather than lower it,
the Salads Tea Company would close
its doors. You would appreciate the
unvarying "QUALITY" of SALADA.

MANNA LODGES ON LEAVES
Washington has received from Bag-
dad samples of Turkish manna. This
manna falls like dew during the
autumn months, lodging on the leaves
of oak trees and hardening into the
form of grain.
It is supposedly the same substance
used by the children cf Israel in the•
wilderness. and is r. recognized arti-
cle of commerce in ll:Aria; sheets are
spread under the tree, in the carry
morning and the trsa- are shaker:.
Only the oak tree retains the sub-
stance ; ntil it hard.rs, such of it
as falls elsewhere i9 lost. jt is a
good sabstiiute for sugi,r and honey,
and sells for 45 teles a pound.
BABY'S GREAT DANGER
DURING HOT WEATHER
More little ones die during the hot
weather than at any other time of
the year. Diarrhoea, dysentry, cho-
lera infantum and stomach troubles
come without warning, and when a
medicine is not at hand to give
promptly the short delay too fre-
quently means that the child has pas --
sed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tab-
lets should always be kept in the
house where there are young chil-
dren. An occasional dose of the
Tablets will prevent stomach and
bowel troubles, or if the trouble
comes suddenly the prompt use of
the Tablets will relieve the baby.
The Tablets are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
MAKING LIFE MERRY FOR
LONELY LUMBERJACKS
A travelling clown for forty years,
playing in the lumber camps of Low-
er Quebec, and moving from camp to
camp during the winter by dog sled,
is the mode of lift of Leo De Facto,
his wife and four children.
Leo De Facto famous throughout
the lumber camps of Lower Quebec,
has for the last forty years earned
bis living by furnishing entertain-
ment to the lonely lumberjacks who
spend each winter in the bush along
the St. Lawrence below Quebec.
In an interview he said that each
summer about this time he and his
family take a month's holiday, us-
ually in Riviere du Loup or Quebec
City. This year, as the winter had
been exceedipgly good from a finan-
cial standpoint, they decided to fare
farther and to visit Montreal.
Although sixty years of age, he
does not appear to be more than
forty. He attributes this to the open
air life which he has lived since child-
hood.
He was born in Matane, P. Q.,
where he lived till he was about six-
teen years old. When he was four-
teen sent
s fa r to
wasbyhis he
work in a lumber camp. When at
the end of his first season he return-
ed home, his winter's wages were
confiscated, and went to swell the
family exchequer. He was then put
to work on his father's farm till the
following autumn, when he was again
sent to the bush.
At the end of that winter there
was a change. He could not under-
stand why it was that after he had
worked hard all winter his father
should get the benefits of his labor.
Instead of going home this time he
ran away to Quebec. He lived for
a short time in idleness, until his
money was all spent. Afraid to go
home, he found it necessary to get
some employment, and was fortunate
enough to find a job with a small
circus that needed some one to help
in the transportation of the tents.
Soon he became a junior clown. For
some years he performed in the saw-
dust ring and gained wide experience
in many cities of Eastern Canada
and the -United States. He penetrat-
ed all the mysteries of the circus
world, and finally became a full-
fledged clown, acrobat, conjurer and
tight -rope walker. Nothing was
under the big tent of which De Facto
could not at least give a passing im-
itation.
Finally, the wanderlust forsook
him and he returned home. But the
peaceful existence was not for him.
Be grew tired of the monotonous
aS;x*1iv,'kla8
grind of life on hie father's faro[. He
was soon masking use of his' circus
experience to entertain the farmers
and villagers of his district. He col-
lected more money in this way than
he could have earned by laboring.
Thus encouraged he conceived the
idea of playing in some of the var-
ious camps near his home.
He wad gladly received by the
lumberjacks and gradually his field
of operations was extended. He went
further and further afield. His fame
slowly .grew. He became a familiar
figure in all the lower pe s of the
province. In ten years thee were
no camps on either side of the lower.
St. Lawrence in which he was not well
known, although some of them he
visits only once every few years.
When he married he did not settle
down, but took his wife with him
wherever he went. Even when his
family began to grow he still con-
tinued the roaming_ ife. He has two
sons and two daughters. The sons
are nearly men now, and they both
give him valuable aid in his perform-
ance. He has taught them all he
knows, so that, if they wish, they
may continue in the same line after
he is too old to work.
While travelling from place to
place he and his troupe take a full
campers' outfit. A tent is the only
home the children have ever known
as their own. In the winter a dog
team draws the household goods and
the apparatus for the performances.
In the summer there is a horse and
cart for the same purpose.
Both sons say that they wish no
other way of living and that they
will keep to their present vocation
for their lives. Madame De Facto
says that, though she once wished to
settle down and live always in the
same place, she has now grown used
to the outside life that she does not
wish any other, The girls are as yet
too young to make any decisions as
to their future lives, but it is very
doubtful if they would enjoy living
in a house like ordinary mortals.
THE FARM AUTOMOBILE
It woul be difficult to name any one
thing in recent years that has been of
more benefit to farm life than the
automobile. Only fifteen years hack
the farmers cursed every auto that
travelled the roads and streets, for it
frightened the horses. In a very
short time the farmers were using
them themselves instead of horses.
The sentiment naturally changed.
Distance is no longer reckoned in
miles, but in minutes or hours. It is
nothing unusual to see farm picnics
of enormous size because families now
come from sb large a radius. At a
recent farm picnic at Marshall, Minn.,
there were over 2,700 farm autoes on
the ground. What an opportunity is
thus afforded to extend acquaintance
and knit the co-operative spirit, and
also to hear the addresses of farm
leaders. No hall in the country could
accommodate such a crowd.
OVERWORKED NERVES
The Most Successful Treatment is
Through the Blood.
The early stages of nervous debil-
ity are noted by restlessness and ir-
ritability in which the victims seem
to be oppressed by their nerves. As
the trouble advances, oommon symp-
toms are a tired feeling; weakness
in the knees and ankles; headaches,
backaches and sleeplessness. The
matter requires immediate attention,
for nothing but suitable treatment
will prevent a complete breakdown.
The nervous system governs the
whole body, controlling heart, lungs,
s
e tion and brain,o that it is not
gs
surprising that nervous disturbances
cause acute distress. For troubles of
this kind Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
treatment fails,
. Pea
succeed when other
for these pills make new blood, en-
riched with the elements on which the
nerves thrive, and in this way reach
the root of the trouble. In proof of
this is the statement of Mrs. Dock-
erill, Stratford, Ont., who says:—"My
was suffering from
slaughter, Matilda,
nervous debility, and the usual reme-
dies did not seem to help her. I was
advised by a friend to give Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills a trial, and soon we
found they were doing her a great
deal of good. She complained of pains
in the stomach,
and a severe flutter-
ing of the heart, with a general weak-
ness. Under the use of these pills
she. continued to gain, and i believe
they have saved her from going into
a decline.
You can get these Pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 5i) rents
a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The

ville, Ont.
THE HIRED MAN ON THE FARM.
The "hired man" is an institution.
He isn't. exactly the same kind of
institution to -day that he was a score
of years ago. He ie an altogether
different problem on the small -farm
from what he is on the large farm,
so that generalization dosen't flt his
case.

man. They had come Weat'with the
Mea of farming for themselves and.
of establishing homes on farms in
Western Canada. Hired melt in those
days either had not enough capital
to start up farming for themselves,
and were 'working out" until they
got it, or were working out for ex-
perience. There was no difference
in social station—the men came of
families like Our own. They ate in
the dining room with the family and
were accepted as members of the
household. If we were entertaining
company, the hired man joined us
if he cared to, and usually he did.
On Sundays when we went to church,
he occupied a seat in the democrat.
One of them kept company with a
neighbor's daughter. The relations
between the hired men of our neigh-
bors and those neighbors was similar
to our own.
That type of hired man is being
employed to -day in hundreds of cases.
He may be English or Scotch or
American or Scandinavian or from
Ontario, but the relationship between
his employer and himself is just as
cordial as that of twenty years ago.
He is a member of the family, and
as such is accepted in the community.
One day soon he will have a farm of
his own. He will be a credit to his
district. Scores of his type have be-
come school trustees, councillors and
reeves of municipalities, and many
are now and have been members of
parliament and provincial legislators.
This type of hired man is not a prob-
lem. He fits into the scheme of
things It is with the men who do not
fit it that the problem or hired labor
in agriculture rests.
In India it is the custom for the
bride to go to the altar in her bare
fet.
Mary and Martha Robinson, aged
77 years, of East Summer, Ma., are
credited with being the oldest twins
in that State.
In England woman lawyers must
wear ordinary barristers' wigs, com-
pletely covering and concealing their
hair, and the regulation barristers'
gowns. Dresses underneath must be
dark, high -necked and long-sleeved.
GERMAN WOMEN HAVEN'T
FLAI'I'ERISMS ON VIEW
A newspaper correspondent from
this side of the Atlantic, where wo-
men are pretty, handsomely dressed,
and nearly always trim, has been in-
vestigating the women in Germany.
He has looked at them around Ger-
many, under all sorts of traffic con-
ditions, and he is disappointed. The
majority of German women and girls,
he says, look like the last rose of
three Summers ago. With a fine
regard for truth, he says that they
are colorless—so powder or rouge—
their blonde hair and faded blue
eyes giving no emphasis to appear-
ance. Their ankles are thick, their
shoes bulldog -tied, their stockinga
are cotton, their waists roomy like
a barrel, and there is no bobbed -
hair. The "flapper," as we know
her, is as scarce as the Dodo. Yet
this correspondent believes that after
you have looked a long time, and
have got used to it, you may find
German girls who are attractive.
Certainly, they lack some of the
pertness of the "millionaires' daugh-
ters" who work in the stores and
shops in American cities.
As for style, there is no such
thing. What style there is may be
supposed to he at the Summer re-
sorts, but there it ends. Some of
the skirts are short, but nearly all
appear to be poorly made. Nearly
all the German women have the ap-
pearance of visitors from the back-
woods. Clothes are invariably well
pressed and taken care of, but the
style simply isn't` in them. The
German woman is not brought up
with the ideas respecting clothes and
styles that are customary in opulent
Western countries. The grace and
flash of the French girl is entirely
absent. Yet when a man gets used
to their national standards, he can
find himself as much at home in
their company as in other feminine
associations. The madchens are
sentimental, and not. afraid to show
it. They hold hands with their young
men friends out on the streets, and
is
in the restaurants there a good
deal of petting. Often a young
P g Y g
man and girl walk along the street
with an a
arm aboutthe other's waist.
The chief sign of sportiness among
the girls is the carrying of a cane.
Perhaps the cane -carriers are the
flappers, but most of the young
girls are simply younger edition of
the older ones, color, style and make-
up no whit different.
German women, like the women of
every other country, step backward
off trolley cars. Sometimes they
walk backward down the steps of
buses. But when they get into line
for tickets at a railway station, for
a theatre performance, or any other
attraction, they get into line." They
do not rush in at the head of the
line as if they had special privi-
leges. Moreover, smoking a n d
drinking are much mere common
there than" in most other Western
countries. When they smoke, not
the least bit of attention is at-
t.rac'ted. Mothers, aunts, great-
aunts and grandmothers puff away
at cigarettes. When they are so
wholesome, so solid and provincial
in appearance. the net of smoking
seems not to suggest the slightest
deviation from a study goodness.
To be "nice" and "dull"is the vile.
Most of the department stores are
manned by girls and women. Men
are seldom seen. And the shop
girls know their business and keep
their places. They make no pre-
tence of being countesses of duchess -
