DOMINI SEAFORTH BRANCH, R. M. JONES, Manager. SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES FOR RENT. KEEP CHILDREN HEALTHY To keep children healthy the bows els must be kept regular and the stomach sweet. Nine -tenths of the ailments which afflict little ones are caused by derangements of the bow- els and stomach. No other medicine can equal Baby's Own Tablets in guarding either the baby or growing child from ills that follow a dis- ordered condition of the bowels or stomach. They are a mild but thorough laxative and never fail to give results. Concerning them Mrs. W. B. Coolledge,' Sarnia, Ont., says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for over three years and have found them the best medicine I have ever used for my children. I never have any trouble giving them to my little ones and they have saved me many a doctor's bill. My advice to all mothers of little ones is to keep a box of the Tablets in the house." The Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 2.5 cents a box from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A WASTE OF BACCY Tobacco has many vices, but it has one unfailing virtue—it is the only positive and immediate cure for a bee or a wasp sting. It should be moistened and squeee- ed with the fingers over the part stung. As fast as the tobacco becomes dry, add a little moisture, and continue to rub and press out the juice upon the inflamed spot during four or five min - sites. If applied soon after being stung it will cure in every case. WHY NOT? Two men stood watching a great steam shovel scooping out tons of earth. "Ain't it a shame, George?" said the chronic grumbler., "to shovel dirt that way." "How so?" asked George. "Why, that there machine is tak- ing the bread out of the mouths of 500 men that would be wanted to do the work with hand shovels." George laughed. "Go on," he said. "Who's been telling you that? Look here, if stopping steam digging would give work to 500 men with shovels, why not get 50,000 to do the job with salt spoons ?" SLEEPING IN CHURCH This is a little story from a New England colonial record dating back -in 1645. Obadiah Turner, from whose diary it is taken, had a sense of humor; also he did not „approve of sleeping in church even though the sermon might have heap a bit dry sometimes: Allen Bridges hath bin chose to -rake ye sleepers in meeting. And being much proud of his place, must needs have a fox taile fixed to ye end of a long staff wherewith he may 1000 Eggs in Every Hen New System Of Poultry Keeping— Get Dollar A Dozen Eggs— • Famous Poultryman. TELLS HOW "The great trouble with the poultry business has always been that the laying life of a nen was too short," says Henry Trafford, rd Poultry Expert and3Br, international eeder, for near- ly 18 years Editor of Poultry Sueceaa. The average pullet lays 150 eggs. If kept the second year, she. may lay 100 more. Then, sheg n es to market. Yet, it has been scientifically estab- lished that every pullet is born or hatched with over one thousand min- ute egg germs in her system—and will lay them on a highly profitable basis over a period of four to six years' time if given proper care. How towork to get 1,000 eggs from every hen; how to get pullets laying early; how to make the old hens lay Y like pullets; how to keep up heavy egg production all through cold win- ter months when eggs- are highest; triple egg production; make slacker hens hustle; $5.00 profit from every hen in six winter months. These and many other money making poultry secrets are contained in Mr: Traf- ford's "1,000 EGG HEN" system of poultry raising, one ropy of which solute. free to any he sent. absolutely reader of this paper who keeps six hens or more. Eggs should go to a dollar or more a dozen this winter. This means big profit to the poultry keeper who gets the eggs. Mr. Traf- ford tells how, if you keep chickens and want them to make money for you, cut out this ad and send it with your name and address to Henry Trafford, Suite 296 P., Herald Bldg., Binghamton, N. Y., and a free copy of "THE 1.000 EGG HEN" will he sent by return mail. is brush ye faces of them that will have napp in time of discourse; likewise a sharpe thome wherewith he may prick such as be most sounde.

Youth is the time to lay the founda- tion for health. Every girl and every buy should have plenty ofpure, red blood and strong nerves. With thin, impure blood they start life with a handicap too great to win success and happiness. Rich, red blood means health, full growth, strong nerves, a clear brain and good digestion. In a word pure blood is the foundation of health. The signs of weak, watery blood are unmistakable. The pale, irritable girl or boy, who has no appetite or ambition, is always tired out, short of breath and does not grow strong, is a victim of anaemia—the greatest en- emy of youth. There is just one thing to do for these girls and boys— build up the blood with Dr..Williams Pink Pills. You can't afford to ex- periment with other remedies, for there must be no guesswork in the treatment of anaemia. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blood, giving it the elements it lacks, thus developing strong, healthy girls and boys. Mrs. R. Kinch, Hepworth, Ont., tells as follows what these pills did for her daughter:—"I think its a duty to let others know the benefit which Dr. Williams Pik Pills have been to my daughter, and I hope, this may be the means of inducing some other suf- ferer to try them. She was weak, nervous and badly run down. She took medicine from the doctor but got no benefit, and finally she was not able to walk to school. I was ad- vised to give her Dr. Williams Pink Pills, which I did, and after taking them for a time she was restored to perfect health. I cannot speak too highly of these pills." You can get Dr. Williams Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or 'by mail at 50cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. STORAGE OF VEGETABLES Winter storage of vegetables is an old question often discussed, but ap- parently not yet well understood. To store the crop seems a comparatively I easy task, but to guard against heavy loss while in storage is sometimes quite a problem even for the most i experienced growers. Some of the first and most import- ; ant factors influencing the keeping of vegetables in storage are to see that the vegetables are free from disease, wellB fully rows matured and free 1 from injuries such as bruises caused by careless handling at harvest time. If these important points are kept in mind and carefully attended to at the time of selecting the material for storage, much worry and subsequent loss in dollars and cents will he d y the growerlea- -voided h y later on. For the storage of such crops as beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cel- ery,properly parsnips and turnips, a P perr Y constructed frost proof cellar should be available, witth adequate ventil- ation to keep the temperature as con- ; slant as possible around 86F at all times during the storage period. By ,no means should a storage cellar be- come excessively danip, because ex- cessive. moisture favors the develop- ment of many of the common diseases attacking vegetables in storage, and I more especially- when in warns, ill- i ventilated cellars. M oderate sized. ' slatted bins in crates should be used for the storage of roots and potatoes, while cabbage ran be storedon slatted ;shelves or in bins. Celery is usually , stored in the root cellar. The plants I are stripped of all rough leaves and placed in an upright position on moist sand, more sand being placed around the roots. However, where only small quantities or vegetables are to be stored for household use, and a base- ' ment is available, a compartment or room should be provided therein, of such construction as to exclude the I heat from the furnace and with suit- able vents in the wall to provide good Ve Ula .A,>'J, �' •' le net ad i 'chore a great g fury' of e or turnips in the cellar of a, dwelling house. A'goad ,earthen floor in the storage room isto be preferred to cement. Where .an earthe floor can be had in a well constructed vegetable room, it is seldom necessary to etore the ,carrots, beets, parsnips and po- tatoes in sand, because, as a rule, sufficient moisture will escape from the floor to keep the air moist enough to prevent the vegetables from with- ering up. Onions require quite different con- ditions, while in storage, to the other varieties of vegetables. A dry, cool, dark room is best suited for this crop, where the temperature can be kept around 84F. By no means; should onions be stored in a cellar, except where it is possible to maintain a dry, cool -atmosphere. Squash and pumpkins should be stored in a dry, moderately warm room, where a temperature of 50F careful handling Is necessary at har- vest time if this crop is to be kept for any length of time. Place the squash or pumpkins on shelves or on a table, in a single layer. THINGS WE FORGET When you get up in the morning and pull on your worsted socks does it ever occur to you that the word worsted indicates that this material was first made at the town Worstead? You then put on your suit of cheviots or tweeds, and slip a cambric hand- kerchief into your pocket, ,thereby calling to mind that this delicate fab- ric was first woven at the French town of Cambrai. You come down to breakfast and enjoy a cup of Mocha, and when you get ready to go out afterwards you don your Ulster or Chesterfield if it is a cold day, or in summer put your Panama upon your head. An amazing number of the articles which we use every day of our lives are named after the towns from which they originally came, though in many cases their manufacture is to -day car- ried on in places totally different. Iluddersfield, for instance, has re- placed Worstead as the centre of the worsted industry, while Panama hats are imported chiefly from Ecuador, in South America, and Mocha coffee (so-called) is grown principally in Java. Better cambric is made to -day in Belfast than ever ('ambrai pro- duced. Among other articles of attire which we call by the names of the towns which they originally came from are the Inverness cape and the Leghorn hat. The cape is still more of a favorite in Scotland than else- where; Leghorn hats, with their wide brims, are to this day made from Leghorn straw, though the manufac- ture goes on in several other places. Balbriggan, which has given its name to a certain type of cotton hos- iery, is a small watering -place some twenty-two miles northeast from Dublin. Melton is another fabric which reminds us of a town, now per- haps better known as a hunting cen- tre than for its manufactures. It is nearly a century since any pottery has been made at Delft. The name of the ware will always remind its users, however, that it was this little Dutch. town which in the six- teenth century began the manufac- ture of the pretty blue and white pottery copied from Chinese and Japanese designs. Dresden, Worcest- er and Sevres are all names better known in connection with beautiful china than with the town to which they belong. THE SKY'S A DUSTY ROOM Do you know that if it were not for the fact that the atmosphere every- where contains dust in suspension, there would be no color in the sky? Sand blown from the desert, salt from the ocean spray, soot from chimneys, ashes hurled from volcan- oes, the debris of meteorites, and pol- len from flowers all contribute to form the veil that lies between us and the sun. Were it not for these dust particles in the atmosphere our azure skies would be as black as they are at night, and we should see the sun and stars shining with undimmed lustre. The floating dust particles are ex- ceedingly tiny, especially those found in the upper air. They scatter the blue light -rays from the sun, and thus cause the sky to assume the color it does. The soft shimmering light of twi- light is merely the lingering illum- ination 1y the sun of the dust the higher regions part- ir•'es in ri e>ions of the at- r•osphere.

The average resident of the United States uses twelve pounds. Why is it? Why [does the man in the States drink six times ss much coffee as his neighbor, just across the border? Is it because Canada was settled largely by the English, a tea -drink- ing people? Undoubtedly that is one reason; hut the chief reason, in our humble opinion. is that in the United States millions a year are spent to advertise coffee, whereas in Canada one sees comparatively little PACKAGES I5� THE NAME ..a 'YOUR GIARANITEE 1‘ When buying lubricating oil, choose the product of a company which has at its command every facility for making and distributing the best.
