Certainly the president of the Honduras that Mr. J. H. Curie de- -acribes in This World of Ours could not have felt at his ease for very long; there was too much revolution and intrigue for that, Once, says Mr. Curie, there was a banquet at Tegucigalpa, the capital. 'The man who happened to be president on that day attended it and sat next to the consul of the United States. In the midst of the banquet the electric light failed, and the room was plung- ed into darkness. Fearing a plot, the president sprang to his feet, but the consul seized his atm. "Sit down!" be whispered. "It is safer." The Light returned a few moments later. The consul was sitting calmly in his chair; beside him sat the presi- dent, wiping the sweat from his brow; every other man in the room was on 'tis feet, guarding himself with. drawn revolver. THE PUBLISHER'S' RESPONSIBILITY More and more difficult every day is the choice of good reading the kind that nourishes the young and re- freshes the old.' One way to `avoid mistakes is to choose the book or periodical that stands for something _ —that is not everlastingly supplying in g la the sensational and silly. The I far WHY STORE CATTLE ARE SO POPULAR A glance at the statement of esti- mated numters of the various classes of live stock in Ontario on June 15, 1522, with comparative totals for 1919, 1920 and 1921, furnished by the Statistics and Publications Branch of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, is sufficient to provide the live stock marketer with a solution of the question: Why are the farmers so willing to take on supplies of stock- ers and Seeders this season? Of course, it is generally recognized that contributing reasons for the present demand for store cattle are She plen- tiful supply of feed and the plentiful supply of Western stockers and feeders. The reason for stocker and feeder demand revealed in the estimates of live stock holdings this past June is apparent in the fact that not only was the 1922 holding of all cattle on that date lower than in any of the previous three years, but that this decrease in total number existed in spite of an increase in the number of milch cows, and only a slight decrease in the case of bulls, one year and over, and of calves. The point is that steers, two years old and over, and other cattle than milch cows, bulls and calves, showed the greatest falling off in numbers. This may fairly be taken to indicate that cattle intended for the block were more scarce in Ontario on June 15th, 1922, than at that date in any of the pre- ceding three years. In view of this, and of the roughage crop in Ontario this year, it is not to be wondered at thr4 farmers are taking stockers and feeders at prices that seem high in comparison with fat cattle prices at the current time. Perhaps another reason for improv- ed demand for feeder cattle exists in the increase in holdings of milch cows. The 1922 figures for milch cows in milk or in calf are 1235,665, might desire. What better reason than this is needed to change many a dairyman into a fat -stock producer? compared with 1,204,270 in 1921, and 1,141,016 in 1919. For the three years previous to 1922, milk prices made annual increase, with the re- sult that the milk business became very popular. But, thisyear, with pastures strong and feed crops plen- tiful, there seems very little chance of an increase in price of milk for the Winter months, and milk has been more plentiful, as regards the total supply, than the individual producer CRIPPLING PAINS OF RHEUMATISM Cannot Be Banished by Liniments —Is Reached Through the Blood. Thousands of men and women suf- fer severely from rheumatism. Crip- pling pains in the muscles and jpints make every movement a , torture. Many people think rheumatism is due to cold or wet weather and they try to banish it by rubbing the painful parts with liniment. This is a great mistake; the rheumatic poison is in the blood and liniment and rubbing cannot do more than give temporary relief. If you are a victim of rheu- matism or lumbago theway to rid yourself of it is by making the blood rich 'and pure, Thr only in this way can the rheumatic poison be driven from the system. To enrich and Pink theblood Dr. Williams' purify Pills should- be taken. They act di- rectly on the blood, making it rich and red, and in this way the trouble disappears. .Thousands of people have proved this, among them Mrs. IL King, Croydon, Ont., who says:— "1 was attacked with rheumatism in my right arm and shoulder. It pain- ed me 00 that I could not raise the •trni to comb my hair or fired myself. I commenced taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after taking three boxes 1 seemed all right again. About six months later, however, the trouble came on again, this -time in my left arm. Again I took Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills with the same bene- ficial results, and since then 1 have had no return of the trouble. Now 1 recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills whenever I get a chance." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Willia1a ' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The sea trout behass— in the same fashion, living mainly in the sea, but spawning in fresh water. 'The American shad has similar habits. At least, two cases are known of salmon which have become land- locked, and which Loth feed and breed in fresh water. They are the huchen, of the Danube, and the ouananiche, of certain North Ameri- can lakes. Brook trout, on the other hand, will flourish in brarki-h water.

For Everybody's, the securing of the Lawson articles was one of the Luckiest strokes in the history of Am- erican magazines. Before Lawson started to write for it the publication seemed to be on its last legs, but it then entered upon a tremendous era of prosperity. Newspapers could not escape giving it free advertising every month because they had to discuss the Lawson articles whether as joint crusaders against "Frenzied Finance" or as defenders of the Wall Street Both publications, only $3. 0.

Later, Lawson sought to turn to his own uses -the great fol- lowing he had built up. He began to give stock market tips, and in doing so carried on the most expensive ad- vertising campaign ever condensed in so short a time, occupying full pages achief cities innewspapers ars in all the p P in the United States and Canada. On one of these tips the public dropped $2,000,000 in one day. Again he ad - i i.;ed the purchase of Trinity copper stock, owned by a company of which he was president, at any price under $ti5 a share. It clambered up to 546, but later dropped to $5.50, and then disappeared. Lawson advertised himself' in many ways. He paid a florist $30,000 for a special carnation, the largest price ever paid for a flower•. The fame which the transaction brought him enabled the florist to buy back the flower and give Lawson $15,000 on his bargain. He built, at a cost of $900.900, the Independence, a yacht designed to defend the America's Cup but when it was not accepted by the racing committee he had it destroyed. 110 stocked Dreamwold with the fin- est of horses and other live stock.
