STORMY WEATHER HARD ON BABY The stormy, blustery weather which we have during February and March is extremely hard on children. Condi- tions make it necessary for the moth- er to keep them in the houae. They are often confined to overheated, bad- ly ventilated rooms and catch colds which rack their whole system. To guard against tide a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the hcuse and an occasional dose given the baby to keep its stomach and bowels working regularly. This will not fail to break up colds and keep the health of the baby in good condi- tion till the brighter days come along. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Go., Brockville, Ont. sumsa gm • ti .' •• ■ Qber t s: Syrup: 0 !ofthe Extract offorllitwretwo I for COUGHS,COLDS r` g and BRONCHITIS Ilk® `:ey ? e ".. mamma ill SELECTION OF SEED GRAIN Two important factors in profitable grain -crop production are the seise-' tion of seed and its treatment in preparation for seeding. In view of the increased demand for high grade Canadian R sad angrown seed buyers of seed Y grain who wish to dispose of their' future crops for seed purposes should select varieties acceptable by the trade. and which also can he grown under the particular soil and climatic conditions available. Selected seed grain may he (livid-, ed into two classes: hand -selected and mass -selected. Continued hand - selection keeps the valuable strains pada; t yelp 'btu it is s ipi Y ad requiring tit HUM apt cure. It is from ,maaai•e leeted 'seed y�l'aitt-44. 13110'>hi(tolecred frograin after lfg that stoat' feline* all their regaireine/its. Good seed Should be made up only pf the larger and plumper kernels. It is necessary to remove all impuri- ties such as chaff, straw, dirt and other inert matter, weed seeds, seeds of foreign varieties and shrunken, immature or otherwise inferior ker- nels. Many of these impurities may be removed in the fanning mill, after which it will be necessary to go over the grain to remove what the fan - lung mill has missed. The vital parts of the fannigg mill are the air blast and the upper and lower sieves. The first should re- move the chaff straw and lighter im- purities, as we�l as the lighter grains. It is often advisable first to run the grain through rapidly, to take out what the air blast will remove, and then to clean it more slowly, with the sieves properly adjusted. The top sieve should be large enough to let the seed through 1 holding back the larger impur'i es; its slant, a- mount of shake d size of opening being regulated , o that the grain will travel slowly. The lower sieve should be small enough to hold the plump seed while allbwing small ker- nels to be taken out along with the weed needs. Finally the grain may be run over a narrow sluice when whatever impurities have been miss- ed can be removed by hand. THEY ARE WORTH THE1,R WEIGHT IN GOLD New Brunswick Man Cannot Say Too Much in Favor of Dodd's Kidney ('ills. ile Advisee All Persons Who Suffer from Kidney Diseases to use them. Pine Ridge, N. B., February 19th. (Special) From all over New Brun- swick reports are coming telling of the popularity of Dodd's kidney Pills as ci remedy for all forms of kidney trouble. In every place, however small, there al.pears to be at least one person who is prepared to say that he owes his health to the great Canadian remedy. 5'r Edward ('handler,, a well known resident here, is one of them. "i have taken ten boxes of your In oil's Kidney Pills and cannot say ton much in their favor."' )[r. (han- d;er states, "They are worth their weight in gold and 1 shall advise all who suffer from kidney disease to use them." Dodd's Kidney Pills have become a family remedy because people haw„ trio,, them and found them gond. They help Rheumatism, Lumbago, Diohetes, Lame Back, Heart Disease aid d urinary Troubles, because all of these are either Kidney Diseases or are caused by the kidneys failing to do their work. WiLL SAVE MANURE Soil and crop specialists at the ex- periment station at Geneva recently reported on the results of some .ex- periments with manure in which they found that untreated manure lost al- most two-thirds of its organic matter in four months, while by adding a small amount of acid phosphate to tate manure this loss was reduced to only about one-fourth of the organic matter. This difference is 'accounted for by the fact that acid phosphate seems to check the growth of the manure bacteria which would other- wise destroy much of the organic material in the manure, say the spe- cialists. Every year immense quan- tities of manure on New York farms suffer a considerable loss in this way before the manure reaches the soil. Aside from the chemical plant food carried to the soil by manure, much benefit is derived from the ef- fect of the manure on the physical condition of the soil, declare the sta- tion workers. Heavy soils bre light- ened by the addition of manure.. Manure also increases the water - holding capacity of the soil, and manured soils warm up more quick- ly in the spring. Theee physical benefits are attributed to the humus or organic matter added to the soil by the manure, so that the greater the amount of rganic matter added the greater the benefit derived. It is also pointed out that manure is deficient in phosphorus and that by adding acid phosphate a better balanced fertilizing material is ob- tained. From 80 to 100 pounds of ncid phosphate per ton of manure is recommended as giving good re- sults. RUSSIAN MAXIMS ABOUND IN SATIRE Russian proverbs are known not only for their philosophy, but for their satire as well. Here are a few samples : "Mixed with dry wood even the wet will burn." "The seller can manage with one eye; the buyer requires a hundred." "Weapons, wives and dogs should never be lent." "The drunkard may be in church, but people will always suppose hint in the public house." "Give the devil a candle as well, 'you never know whom you may please." "The bashful l.eggar goes away 'Make friendship with the wolf, but keep your axe ready."

IIEALTH FOR WEAK DESPONDENT PEOPLE From End to End of Canada Dr. Williams' Pink PHIS Doing Good Work. There is not a nook or corner in Canada, in the cities, towns, villages and on'the farnls,where Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have not been used and from one end of the 'country to the other people sound their praise. You have only to ask your neighbors and they can tell you of some run down man, suffering woman, ailing youth or uchappy anaemic girl who owes their present health and strength to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The success of this medicine is due to the fact that it acts directly upon the bleed, making it rich and pure, and thus brings new strength to every organ and nerve in the body. Mr. Andrew F. Webb, Mel- anson, N.SS., tells what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for him as fol- lnws:—"I was in a run down condi- tion from overwork and what the doc- tor called a nervous breakdown. My sister urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking several boxes 1 improved wonderfully and feel like a different person. I sleep well, eat well, and my nerves are stronger and with confidence 1 can recommend these pills to all weak, run down people." If you are suffering from any con- dition due to poor, watery blood, or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil- lirns' ['ink Pills now, and m,le how yt,ur strength and health will improve. Y,.0 can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or they will be .,ant by mail, post paid, at 5n cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from the Ire Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Or+t. LINCOLN'S ANNIVERSARY. WHAT IT RECALLS t'robably the only man now living who was a witness to the assassina- tion of Abraham Lincoln, whose birth - tiny anniversary was observed all eve, the United States on Monday is William J. Ferguson, a comedian who at the time of the murder" Was acting as a call bow in Ford's Theatre, as well as playing a small part in the production of "Our Afnerfcan Cous- in." He recalled recently that by a strange coincidence he had seen Wilkes Booth, the assassin of the President, lying on the bed where Liacoln breathed his last. A few weeks before the night of the assassination Ferguson called at this house to distribute parts for a new play. Entering a room of one of the actors he saw Booth lying on the bed. After the shooting he was again admitted to the house through the friendship of the pro- prietor and going upstairs saw the dying President lying where big murderer bad lain. On the night of the murder he waw standing in the wings directly opposite the presidential box with Miss Keene. FIe clearly saw Booth enter the box, aboot the President, and then leap to the stage, hobbling on his broken leg toward the stage door before the horrified actors could stop him. Mr. Ferguson is positive that Booth did not shout "Sic semper tyrannis," or anything else us he crossed the stage. Ile merely waved a dagger to frighten anyone who might have laid hands upon him. The "Sic semper tyrannis" story was the creation of an imaginative reporter who felt that one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the world should be suitably adorned with a Latin inscription. I: is interesting to note. that there are many Americans who believe that Booth was not shot in the barn where he had taken shelter; that he war not indeed arrested, and that he lived under an assumed name in a southern town until a comparatively short time ago. There was some correspondence on this subject in the New York Herald n fete month, ago and some of the correspondents were as certain that Rooth escaped as they were of their own names. Their idea was that his deed had Om approval of many in the South and that they shielded him, and in- vented the scene in which he w -a, supposed to be dragged out of Gar- rett's barn, near }'art Royal, Vir- ginia, in a dying condition. One remarkable f,•ature about T.incotn'.a career is emphasized b James L. Ford, writing in the Now 'York Tribune on Sunday. Lincoln's career was just five years long. That is t4) Ray, from the day in which he became famous to the day of his ,cath extended over the period from February 27th, 1860, to April 161h, 1866. This is just another asset 1. in which his career was, unparalleled. 11 fore 1800 he was known in the West.. His debates with Stephen Douglas had become n'le�lrated, Lut in the Fast he was 0 little known that on the night. of the Cooper Union address, in New York, Wil- liam Cullen Bryant., the chairman, introduced him thus: -- "We shall next have the pleasure of hearing from Mr. Abraham Lincoln CUT P i 15 imr • hiktiry 8O' .4- Real Old ?oust 7?ea2�' -OGDEN'S LIVERPOOL- �al®1mp><manoa�iasismantlm For those who roll their own . ASK FOR OGDEN'S FINE CUT (In the green packet) IT IS THE BEST iY If Illinois, of whom some of you 1suv, doubtless heard." The intro- duction nowadays seems tantamount to an introduction by a London stags' manager of "Mr. William Shakespeare, of Warwickshire, who promises to become a successful playwright." It has been often said that. the speech that Lincoln de- livered after this introduction made him President. Yet of the speech or of the meeting not a line appears in either "Harper's" or "Leslies," the two illustrated news weeklies of the day. It was by a mere accident that Lincoln made this speech. A day or two before the meeting he was in Cambridge to condole with his son, Robert, who had failed in his Har- vard examinations. It was when he was there that the invitation reached him and, since it would cont hut little to interrupt his journey back to Illinois, he accepted and stayed over in New York. He took the train, says Mr. Ford, meditating on his speech, and never dreaming tha• his words were destined to mould his own fortunes and those of the nation, It was in that speech that he said, that, wrong though slavery was, it should be let alone where it was, but that it should no: permitted to spread into other States, and he closed with these words that have become historic:— "Let istoric: "Let us be diverted by none of those statistical contrivances wherewith we are so industriously plied and be- labored . . . Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false t'ccusations against us, nor fright- ened from it by menaces of destruc- tion of the Government or of dungeons for ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it'.' When Lincoln began to speak there was a howl from the back of the hall which would have driven all hut the most courageous speak- ers from the platform. Lincoln wain cd until it had abated, calm ami smiling. He was, as always, an un- gainly figure, and the crowd then wet. unable to see anything of dignity or nobility in his face. His clothes seemed to hang on Mm- His voice was under imperfect controL Nevertheless, as he went on he won the interest of the audience, and at last one could hear a pin drop, so profound was the attention he com- manded. When he finished, the people rose in their seats and cheered him, and .the Democrats who had tried to howl him down went up to the edge of the platform to shake hands with him. As has been truly said, he left the platform with the Republican nomination for the Presidency in the hollow of bis hand. He had conquered the East with a single speech, and a speech that had been delivered as the re- sult of an accident The Trusts and Guarantee Company TORONTO Limited Twenty-sixth Annual Statement BALANCE SHEET, DECEMBER 3lst, 1922.
