ALL FROM PEANUTS The peanut is rapidly becoming an earticle a the greatest commercial! Already it is heing wed in Ithe production of 145 Dam's and 'use- ful articles. From the 'Peanut we •61atairi peanut %utter, ten varieties of milk, five Atinds of breakfast food, two grades .of flour; ice-cream, salad-eil, sauce, enetal-polishes, toilet and laundry *Imps, oleo -margarine, wood stains, leather dyes, ink, and glycerine. A teacupful of peanuts can be made into a pint of milk while the nuts cnake a better lard substitute than aloes cotton -:seed oil. Mixed with -wheaten flour, peanuts makes a pal - astable and highly nutritious bread ; they also make excellent biscuits and Strictly speaking, the peanut is not nut at all; it is called a "legume" —akin to the bean and pea. The pea- -nuts grow underground, and the crop is harvested with a plow, there being special machihes which clean and bunch the nuts. WOMEN'S HANDICAPS 'Headaches and Backaches Often Make Life Miserable. A woman's health handicaps her ealmost always. She has pains and disabilities which do not afflict men. Nature does not give her a fair <hence. Her blood is more often thin and poor than a man's, and she often aleglects the first beginnings of ill- Ibealth. Many women who seemed destined to a life of frequent suffer- ing have been freed entirely from -their suffering through the wonderful lolood-making qualities of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. Many a woman toils all day with a pain in her back :and side, a burning headache, and a :sense of having no spine left. 'What a pity women will not listen to their friends whom Dr. Williams' /Pink Pills have saved from their rnis- .ery. Whenever a woman suffers, they will help her—in youth, middle -age and afterlife. Mrs. John Mitchell, of Ont., gives her experi- *nee for the benefit of other women sufferers. She says:—"Some years ztgo I was so badly run down I could liardly walk around the house. I tried to do a few chores but was able to do every little. My boys and husband 'lad to do the rest. If I started up stairs I had to go very slow or I , 'would fall, and I was just played out when I got at the top of the stairs. head ached terribly and my heart -would beat violently. In this deplor- able condition I began taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. When I had finish- ed six boxes I felt much better. Then I got a further supply, and by the time I had taken these I could walk zinywhere without being exhausted, the headaches had disappeared and I am now perfectly well. Any woman -who is run down Should not hesitate to begin Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at ence, as I am sure from my own ex- perience they will build her up." You can get these Pills from any xnedicine dealer or by mail at 50 cts. La box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. 'HIS FACE WAS WHITE BUT HIS HEART BLACK Will Rogers has been becoming -xnore and more famous at a dizzy rate of speed. The last time he was a passing visitor to parts of the Do- minion of Canada he was an out - _standing comedian—simply that and mottling more. Now he is a philosopher, friend of princes and presidents, author, the man who gets more for writing to- bacco ads. than Lloyd George got for -writing political articles, the author eef a best seller, a syndicate writer .and the great drawing card of Mr. Ziegfeld's well known Eollies.. Not satisfied with all this, he has, as countless newspapers have already in- formed millions of readers, become a lecturer. Roters recently offered the follow- ing anecdote as the worst story he bad heard in the past 24 hours and al3 it deals with lecturing he had been -repeating it steadily ever since. Sam Jones was preaching or lectur- ing, whichever you care to call it and -when he had finished an aged colored lady stepped up to the rostrum and (clasped his hand.

Helen Mac Norma McDougall, Low Tariff Politicians belittle its importance. Are they right? What we the Facts? pROBABLY no part of the business of farming is less under- stcrod and less appreciated than the value of the home market to the average Canadian farmer of to -day. First and foremost, given a Government that is sympathetic with you, the home market is one that you can absolutely con- trol, at all times, at least against the foreign farmer who would invade it. On the other hand, . the foreign market is one that you may be legislated out of at any moment by the vote of a foreign government that has decided that it wants to give its own farmers an advantage over you! Next, the market that is best worth cultivating is always the market that absorbs the largest part of your production. The fellow who year after year buys more than half your crop is worth more to you than the fellow who only buys 25% of it. That's fundamental! There's no getting away from it! From the figures below we prove absolutely that the home market absorbs at the very least 631 ''''/(3, of the produce—not of the Ontario farmer—but of the average Canadian farmer, Including the wheat farmer of the West. If we were to leave the Western wheat farmer out of it, it could be prOved tbat over 80% of what the Ontario farmer produces is consumed by tbist home market. The reason some people have an exaggerated idea of the im- portance of the export market for farm produce is that they have looked at it solely from the standpoint of wheat! It is true that we export in one form or another about 75 per cent of our entire wheat crop. But the wheat crop, important and all as it is, re- presents only about one-fourth of our total annual agricultural production, and it is only when we take into account what be- comes of the other three-fourths that we can arrive at a true es- timate of the value of the home market to :,6.3e average Canadian Here is our calculation. Check up our figures from the Canada Year Book, the official statistical publication issued by the Gov- ernment. Subject our deductions to the most searching investi- gation and you find that if we have erred at all, we have under -estimated, rather than over-estimated the importance of the farmer's home market. TOTAL EXPORTS, FISCAL YEAR 1924, OF Agricultural and Vegetable Products. including fresh dried and preserved fruits, grains, flour and milled products, bakery products and prepared foods, vegetable oils, tobacco-, fresh and prepared vegetables, maple syrup, maple sugar and miscellaneous, but excluding rubber, sugar (other than maple), molasses and confectionery as products not of Canadian agricultural oricin; also excluding alcoholic beverages whose export %slue is out of all relation to the value of the agricultural products used in their production. - Animals and Animal Products. including live animals, hides and skins, leather, fresh meats, cured and canned meats, milk and its products, oils, fats, greases, eggs, honey and miscellaneous, but excluding fish oils, seal and whale oils, and furs other than black and silver fox skins, as products not of agricultural origin. Fibres, Textiles and Textile Products. including all wool and woolens, also flax, jute and hemp products, but excluding binder twine, marpfacturers of cotton and silk, manu- facturers of mixed textiles, and certain kinds of wearing apparel, as products not of Canadian agrreultural origin. Grand total exports, all kinds of farm produce - 91,939,305 2,747,573 . Now the gross agricultural revenue of Canada for crop year 11923 is given as $1,342,132,000. ilieduct- Ting the grand total exports, as above of $489,094,124, leaves a balance of $853,037,876 to represent what must have been consumed by the home market. In other words, the ex ort market took only 3(UA of our farm production. The balance, 63,'.,c;c", was consun-aed in Canada! AMES, HE SELLS EN CA A A Ex ort Prices that Fail to Govern Home Prices. • In attempts to belittle the home market, the argument has been used over and over again that the prices obtainable in the export market always govern the prices obtainable in the domestic market. Statements of that kind constitute one of the meanest forms of 'dishonesty. It is probably true that, in the absence of an effective wheat pool, the Liverpool price pretty nearly fixes the domestic price of wheat. But the Liverpool price of hay, or of potatoes, is almost negligible in its effect upon the local prices obtainable for those commodities in Canada. And the reason for the difference is that wheat, besides being a commodity that can be stored indefinitely, has been provided with terminal facilities that enable it to be handled at a minimum of expense, and is carried at the lowest of all freight rates, whereas transportation costs on hay and potatoes substantially protect the pro- ducer against surpluses only a hundred miles away! Hay and Potatoes kr Instance. In 1923, for instance, farmers in Nor- folk County received an average of only 811/3 cents a bushel for their potatoes, while farmers in Welland County, less than fifty miles away, received $1.00 for theirs. In that same year farmers in Perth County rect_ived an average of only $9.28 a ton for their hay, while farmers in the adjoining County of Middlesex re- ceived $11.05 for theirs. Discount these illustrations as much as you like on the ground that differences of quality had something to do with the differences in price, yet do they not serve to shake your faith in the man who would have you believe that Liverpool prices always govern domestic prices? Did Thun- der Bay farmers, for instance, get $19.64 for their hay in 1923 because it was of such superior quality, or did they get it because of the high cost of bringing $8.98 hay from Huron County, or $10.11 hay from Lambton County? If Liverpool prices governed hay in the way and for the same reasons that they do wheat, Ontario farmers would have to pay shippers a premium to take their hay away! What's Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander. Belittlers of the home market assert that a tariff on farm products is of no benefit to our farmers. Is the United States tariff on farm products of no benefit to United States farmers? Is it no detriment to Canadian farmers? 'If a foreign tariff is a detriment to Canadian farmers, why should not a Canadian tariff be a detriment to foreign farmers and consequently a benefit to our own? What a New Industry, in your Market Town, Means to You! It increases the prosperity of the town, gives work to the unemployed, adds to the population, gets the empty houses rented and starts the build- ing of new ones. The town irru-nediately has more money to spend cn the butter and eggs, the vegetables, fruit, milk and grain your farm produces. The foreign market is admittedly an important market, but after all what does it consist of? Isn't it made up entirely of town and city dwellers -- wage -earners ---who cannot obtain from their own: farmers as much food as they require so they must buy from you? Is the city dweller an asset to the Canadian farmer only when he happens to dwell in a foreign city ? If we persuaded him, by the offer of a better job than he now has, to come and live in Canada, would he not be a bigger asset our farmer than he is at present? Those who scoff at the home market would en- courage those dwellers in a foreign city to stay where they are, thus leaving our farmers in the position where they must take a chance on ship- ping their products long distances, and then selling them in competition with other producers from aili over the world! Isn't the plan of those whot would build up the home market a vastly better one? A higher tariff will give more workers goad jobs in this country. Canowlian workmen? with good jobs ore Me best customers the the Canadian farmer will ever have. i1--. 4ti IG ND FOR LOWER. TAXATI N 6leatai•Oonrervo%ive Veitor= Committal, WO ass 'Tom 0
