Arnott, /proprietor of Tem -Kip camp, locat- ed on Lake Temiskaming, 30 miles -from here,•relates a very Interesting lhunting story. J.• A. Cavanaugh left camp With a guide on Wednesday, tetober.10th, at 4 p.m., shot a big.. bull moose at 6.30 p.m. and was back in camp at 8 o'clock the same night. The'next morning at 7.30, while skin - ming the moose, another bull came out of the woods and watched the /proceedings for five minutes, about sixty yards away. Big game, Mr. .Arnott says, is plentiful in the Tem- iskaming-Kioawa region. • "THE WONDERFUL HEROINE" A subject of conversation through- out Canada at•• the present time is the identity of "The Wonderful Heroine" "whose amazing life story was publish- eed in the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal. Living under ap- elling conditions, handicapped more often than aided by her great beauty, this wonder woman strived and s- .ehieved where ten million others had :failed It is now announced that a beauti- Tul painting of' "The Wonderful Her- oine" has been secured, and a repro- duction in. true colors, size 18 x 24 inches will be ,given free to subscrib- -err, of the Family Herald and Weekly -Star, Montreal, that is to those who :subscribe in time. TEETHING TROUBLES Baby's teething time is a cline: of -worry and anxiety to most mothers. The little ones become cross, peevish; -their little stomach becomes derang- 'ed and constipation and colic sets in. To make the teething period entry on 'baby the stomaah and bowels must be kept sweet land regular. This .can be done by the use of Baby's Own. 'Tablets—the ideal laxative far little nines. The Tablets are a sure relief 'for all the minor ailments of child- piood such as constipation, colic, in - 'digestion, colds and simple fevers. `They always do good—never harm.

I don't believe in this so-called freedom. Women should 'airing harmony into the home, and "beauty, and. joy." Mrs. Thomas A. Edison, wife of the great - American inventor, gave in an interview her opinion of the spread of higher education for wo- arren in America. "We women," she continued em- ihatically, "have not made of our homes what we should; we have been "mccustomed to think of them as only four walls. But you can put a great -,deal inside of four walls! "To be a fine wife and mother wo- '.man should first be well educated— _literature, history, psychology, .art, music, architecture—all these things mhould enter into her trhining. She mhould understand the principles of •color harmony and line arrangement: She should study to make her home .,so attractive that she will deepen the joy in it of those about her, '.Ta.day girls go to schools of deg siggnu to learn decorating and kindred subjects. ,Why net have these things taught in alto! our universities? You see,there's such a tremendous field for women. "No woman should be dependent on outside assistance fbr the expreez sion of beauty in her own home. The home is, or should be, a • purely indi- vidual expression of the homemaker. It should evolve from within in ac- cordance with her own tastes, her own ideals, her own standards of beauty. - 'But let .us not talk of 'feminism' in the home. God has made us men a?Id women. Neither sex can fin the other's work. In these troubled days the duty and privilege of women is to snake the home a haven of beauty and rest. The way for her to ac- complish this is to be a true mother and wife. I believe that the mother in the home is the anchor of the world. "And irk order to do her job to the best of her ability, let her study for I it, specialize in it as intensely as ev- er man did who wanted to excel in his profession. Let her go to the university surely, but let her study there the subjects that will make her a better home -maker, not the mis- cellaneous and often useless subjects at.e is taught to-day.v STOMACH TROUBLE DUE TO THIN BLOOD It ° Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestive very quickly. The glands that • furniah the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quickly restore the appetite, diges- tion and normal nutrition than good, rich; sed blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pill; act direct- ly oh the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched blood strength- ens weaks nerves, stimulates tired muscland awakens to normal ac- tivity the glands that supply the di- gestive fluids. This is shown by an improved appetite, and soon the ef- fect of these blood enriching pills is evident throughout the whole system. You find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are vig- orous instead of irritable and list- less. If your appetite is fickle, if you have any of the distressing pains and symptoms of indigestion, you should at ogee take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better condition in which they will put your blood. These pills are sold by all .dealers n medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. DANGER WITH FOUR-WHEEL BRAKE Undoubtedly the motoring public is mmensely interested in the arrive f four-wheel ,braking systems on tandard type cars. Naturally any eature of design which contributes o the safety of motoring is in itself ttractive. But not all manufactur- rs are convinced of the desirability f equipping cars with brakes on all wheels for use .by the ordinary pub - c. .And for divers reasons,, Con- ersations had with leadeas of the ndustry would suggest that, in the ain, the feeling is that a further eriod of experiment is necessary be - ore -they can be offered with abso- ute confidence to the inexpert, Some ontend that publicity alone is hay - ng the effect of forcing the adoption f four. -wheel brakes upon the manu- facturer, Ona strong advocate of every pos- ble improvement to the automobile dvanced the sage dictum that pro- ress to be sound must always be ornparatively slow. He holds the pinion that whilst the four-wheel rake system must inevitably come, et its position to -day is not such as warrant practical application to very make of car for all and siin- ry to drive. Too many people," ho contended, "view four-wheel brskes from an un- desirable angle. Nothing could be worse than the attitude of the man who says he wants four-wheel brakes so that he may maintain his speed until the last. moment. when his bet- ter braking system will pull hint up in a shorter space. That, most emphatically, is not the reason why the system must be a- dopted. The proper use of four-wheel brakes is to enable a car to be slow- ed down, or brought to a standstill, with a minimum of stress upon the tires and the chassis, with less lia- bility to swerve or to skid, and, last- ly, to enable exceedingly, steep and sharp cornered 'hills which, with their slippery surfaces, constitute formid- able obstacles, to be descended in safety, - ;'To fit four-wheel brakes in order that a. car travelling at its maximum rate of speed may be pulled up in a shorter distance is merely to encour- age, tiie reckless driver," rwas the. opieime of ,another maiiufacturei "and toydtt j a large flambe*a t` fatal -•and otter acCiients whtch.are constantly abouts at, their maximum speeds 3 to 40' algae per hour past toads and round. Corners on Wrong side, and, when confronted the awkt'ard situations which own bad driving entails, lack skill or presence of,rnind.to get of their predicaments -without course to manslaughter. Give people fourtwheel braking sys which hre. perfect and their dan to the community might conceiv be lessened,' but give them four - braking systems which require c ful handling and regular atten for adjustment and they will be more dangerous than ever. "When the four-wheel braki system is carefully examined it be found that there are two m kinds, each with its limitations. one kind the four brakes are mech ically actuated by a servo -motor or other device, set in motion by the driver; such systems relieve the driver of having to use much force and enable the fullest advantage to be obtaindd fromthe brake, The system is, however, only applicable to expensive ears, for the brakes and their actuating mechanism together are bound to cost a great deal of money; and obviously it would be absurd to fit expensive brakes to an ordinary car. Moreover, such sys- tems are decidedly complicated, and for some time to come will undoubt- edly require a good deal of expert attention for adjustment. "The second principle, and that to which most manufacturers are look- ing at present, consists of fitting brakes to each wheel and seeking to apply all four by means of pedal or lever through the usual medium of leverage and linking gears. Now, this latter system is bounded by some definite factors which decidedly limit the latitude of the designer. In the first place, the force with which Et pedal may be comfortably applied by the average adult, man or woman is in the neighborhood, say, of 50 pounds, and the comfortable travel through which the pedal may pass does not exceed 2 inches to 2,4 inches —if it be less than this, so much the better. Lastly, only a limited move- ment is available on the brake shoes themselves between the -position when they are rubbing on the drum and the position completely clear of the drum. Hence it will be seen that beyond a certain point it, is not possible• to go and still retain easy manipulation of brake -shoes of the ordinary kind. Granted the sound ideals of the four-wheel braking system, has the practical application reached a stage where it is sufficiently fool -proof to be safe on a fast car in the hands of the average inexpert driver? That is the question which is troubling a large percentage of manufacturers with a good name to guard-" "aa 44'0 uzd: ! 0r'Ia Atli 0 tivelyo1 hx yr a: foot 4ito. k ,wi€ arpi�i. t adeepp :and wide loop fore nd the Part of the oreberd,, " . or ', t any'coni veltient tithe''• ;, a tate '•ground freezes or aftlir $pring ,Aa t* only 'la the 'su has thawed in rvicelium Spreadp raft soil, any trench or furrow ars de as the subsoil will effec lly•a eltek its spread.

Destroy all weeds by burning, or any suckers growths! which may spring from the roots of the trees. Pieces of the mycelium may be upon these and wial almost certainly infect other trees. A. general clearing up of all de - will bus in the orchard should be made ain and everything be Consumed by fire. In Care must, however, be taken that an- under no circumstances is fire allow- ed to come in ,Contact with any of the trees. Piles of brush may be burned as piles,but the senseless practice of allowing flames to sweep through the orchard should not be tolerated. Vigorous trees may not be so liable to the attacks of the white root rot, as those which are undernourished or in fact to any of the fungus or insect enemies. Therefore, . during the Winter wherever practicable and where the orchard has been neglect- ed stable manure may be teamed and spread on the area ready in Spring to be pldughed in. WINTER CARE OF ORCHARDS Two destructive -fungus pests of the orchard and which are often overlooked are "The White Root Rot" and the "Canker Fungus." These attack many fruit trees of the order Rosaceae such as apples, pears, cherries and plums and often do an incredible amount of harm. Sometimes hundreds of trees are killed by them, largely on account of the fact the diseases are not recog- nized and remedial measures are not applied. The destruction of trees by the white root rot is very common, as 1 the fungus when it gains access to an orchard works very quickly. Orchards may be infected by the fungus from wild fruit trees or from other orchards. , Many fruit growers have had. the disheartening experience of seeing many Valuable trees die and without any apparent .cause. The leaves be- gin to wilt during the growing sea- son, later they shrivel or fall, and the branches and trunk become sick- ly. The reason that the attack is unobserved is that the fungus re- mains below the surface of the soil and works unseen. The mycelium of the white root rot spreads through the soil and quickly infests living roots of fruit trees upon which it feeds. As pre- viously stated the leaves shrivel dur- ing the first year the tree is attacked, Often during the following year there will be a profusion of bloom accompanied by little foliage; the latter agosin wilts early in the year and is shed by the tree. Fruits are not produced as they evidently do not set on account of lack of fertiliz- ation or other causes. Usually dur- ing the third year the tree dies. If you examine a few of the sick- ly looking trees in your orchard on which the leaves wilt early in the year you may find white patches of mycelium upon the main or conduct- ing roots and you may also observe white strands of the mycelium per- meating the soil, In order to make the observation you should at any time before the ground freezes or during the Spring remove some of the soil from the roots of the trees. Usually the soil will have the ap- pearance of that from the surface of a mushroom bed in which the mush- room spawn has begun to run and will pme]i meuldy. When the tree is badly attacked as for instance during the second ,or third year the fungus may be ob. served between the bark and the wood of the trunk. The bark may readily ,¢e removed and may be found to be dead. In the later stages of the attacks of the fungus the mycelium becomes grey in color especially on the parts et the tree - which it attacks abet.*ground To !Control tliij iittacke of the fun a 0 1i p 1 c "Let her learn to be a good cook i --a 'kitchen chemist, I should call o her.

Exports of leather footwear for the twelve months end- ing September, however, were valu- ed at $225,085 as compared with $176,376 for the previous twelve months. Dawson City, Y. T. --.Wireless tele- graph stations at Dawson and Mayo, a part of the great system planned by the government to link up the vast northland with the other sec- tions of the Dominion, were opened to business recently. These are the first radio posts established north of Ed- monton. For the present the gov- ernment telegraph line forms the connecting link between Dawson and the outside world. Montreal, Que.-While there is every indication thatt a big volume of grain will be shipped from Montreal before the close of navigation, it is now certain that the total exports for the season of 1923 will fall short of the record 1922 total. Up to and including October 15th the port of Montreal handled 92..929,803 bushels of grain, as against 218,668,769 bushels during the same period last year. This year's exports will be considerably increased in the next few weeks, as thirty-three tramp steamers are on charter to Inad grain here, twenty-five of them during the present month. Cobalt, Ont.—The most spectacular nugget brought to town in many years arrived here recently, and the camp's old-timers gathered around, admiring the huge mass. The nug- get weighs approximately 3,200 lbs., is estimated to run fully 75 per cent. silver, and is worth over $20,000, ac- cording to the estimate of the owner, Angel Clemens, a New Liskeard car- penter. Clemens found the chunk while doing assessment work on his claim, which is two miles north of the Ragged Chutes plant of the lo- cal power company on the Montreal River, and a dozen miles from town. ONLY 6,000 ACRES PLANTED FOR TIMBER IN ALL DOMINION Those who believe that the timber supply of Canada will be replenished by the 'planting of trees artificially will be surprised to learn from fig- ures just issued by the Canadian Forestry Association that during the past five years Canadian citizens, through their own recklessness, have destroyed over 3,500,000 acres of merchantable timber growing on pub- lic owned land while in the whole Dominion only 6,000 acres have yet been planted artificially in forest trees. No figures could more graph- ically indicate the hopelessness of catching up with the forest fire loss in the Dominion by any programme of reforestation. As if the Canadian people were not content to wipe out more than three million acres of merchantable timber by human -set fires an additional four million acres of young growth was 'also put out of existence by fire in the same•period. The replanting of thnber trees, however bids fair to show a higher ration to forest fire losses in the future, particularly if these fire loss- es can be held to their present pro- portions.. The province of Ontario has now' in its provincial nurseries twenty million seedlings to be utiliz- ed in reforesting 10000 acres of waste lend in Old Ontario each year for at least six years. The, forest nursery established by the province of Que- bec at Berthierville has distributed four million seedlings for private planting and has reclaimed :more than three hundred acres of shifting sand b3 the use of trees from the nursery.
