"It is only a matter of time until every thinking breeder and owner of live stock in Canada is using potas- sium iodide in the feeding of his fe- male stock," declares Dr. Lionel Stev- enson, Ontario Zoologist, and Mr. George B. Rothwell, Dominion Ani- mal Husbandman, adds: "Speaking strictly as a practical stockman it would seem that in this drug we have, not a panacea in any sense, but an agent of preventative and curative properties, that makes its considera- tion one of absorbing interest." A mixture of common salt and up to one per cent. of potassium iodide is usually used, which means a very cheap insurance indeed against the live stock losses mentioned. There is plenty of literature on the subject of feeding iodine to stock, which can be obtained through the nearest Gov- ernment agricultural office, Experi- mental Farm or from the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited, either the head office in Toronto, or one of the branches. HE TOOK 111S CHANCE TO BOOST HIS FIRM Brantford is the happy home of Col. Harry Cockshutt, manufacturer Of farm implements and former lieuten- ant -governor of Ontario. "There I was born, there I live, and there I intend to die," declares Col. Cockshutt, but this does not mean that he does not occasionally make excursions far afield. He has travelled in Australia, Asia, New Zea- land, Africa, and most of Europe, as well as most thoroughly over this continent. "I go wherever plows are used and can be sold," said Col. Cockshutt, re- cently. "That's my business, and I find that you can't go anywhere now- adays without running into Canadian products of some kind. You even meet with opposition in the most un- expected places. "Some time ago I was in British East Africa, in what I certainly con- sidered virgin territory for Canadian farm implements. Our automobile got tuck in a road three hundred miles from the nearest garage or repair shop, and it looked as if we would have to hoof it back to the railway station through heavy rain. "`By good luck another automobile came along and managed to pull us out of the mud after a hard tussle. "I offered, somewhat diffidently, to pay the man for his trouble, but he waved the money aside. "No, thanks, stranger," he said, with a gentle smile. "I've done you a good turn, and you can do me one as you go travelling through this country if you tell the farmers you meet_that you were hauled out of the mud by an agent of the Massey -Har- ris Company of Toronto, Canada, makers of the best plows and farm mplements on earth!" "I could have given him an ,argu- ment about that," laughed Col. Cock- shutt, "but I didn't feel like it after his kindness. It was like meeting an oId friend from home, even though he was a business rival. So I told him who I was, and we agreed to split the erritory between us. There was lots of it for both, and if he did as well as did he had every reason to be sat - i: fied." ORM]ER ALICE ROOSEVELT IN SOCIAL WARFARE Once more that serio-comic incident VI concerns the precise social po- tion of Vice -President Curtis' sister as received prominence, as a result resumably of the impish spirit of Alice Roosevelt, whose personality is y no means overshadowed by her usband, Hon. Nicholas Longworth, peaker of the United States house of epresentatives. The question arose riginally because of the dismal fact at the vice-president is a widower r a bachelor or some other lonely and nfriended species of fauna, and be- ause his position made it necessary hat he should have some woman to ok after his laundry and receive his uests. To this high destiny he dedi- ated his sister, Mrs. Edward Everett G Qann, wife of a Washington lawyer. uestions arose as to how she would ank. The matter was referred by he state department to the diplomatic orps, which reported that Mrs. Gann W ould enjoy all the social honors and rerogatives that would have been ccorded the wife of the vice-presi- nt had there been one. So all seemed settled, and in this elief Mrs. Eugene Meyer, wife of the etiring member of the farm loan ard, arranged a dinner and prepared make ladylike whoopee. She bade the feast both Mrs. Gann and Mrs. ongworth, and when Mrs. Longworth earned that Mrs. Gann had accepted al would presumably be given the at of honor as the most important guest present, she sent her regrets. When Mrs. Gann learned that Mrs. ongworth was not going she, too, E nt her regrets, feeling, no doubt, hat it would be a barren honor to take precedence over the wives of a t of mere senators and even lesser ry. So the bout was a no -decision lair, but it was accepted as formal otice that Mrs. Longworth did not can to accept an inferior status to hat of Mrs. Gann. The real struggle n be postponed until the winter, 174= $114015UMW 741 'SIVQ ef Lica veeei taenia.

Where they stand will settle the question, It is possible the •lltrs. Hoover Haight bring t mutter to earlier issue should she choose to do so, but there is no indication that she is looking to import any more trouble than is necessary into the White house, which already has ita share. Other dinners will be held, but tactful hostesses will probably compromise by inviting nei- ther of the belligerent ladies or in- viting only one at a time. If they invite only one, the chances are great- ly favor of Mrs. Longworth, who is a real personality and has been a popu- lar figure in Washington for more years than her caresaseetaoinshrdimh years than she cares to remember. She has long established her position there both as her father's daughter and as the wife of one of the wealth- iest aria most agreeable members of Congress. Her parties are perhaps the liveliest of all the civilized par- ties that entertain the capital. Nick Longworth is popular, and among his gifts mcltdes that of being in ex- tr'e•n.ely gifted violin player. Those who like good music and good con- vcrsetion ere never so pleased as when Mrs Longworth rings them up informally and asks them to drop in for the evening as "Nick is g,;_n, to play,,, Mrs. Gann has no such inducements to offer her guests. If her husband has any social gifts they are obscure and the only thing her distinguished brother can play is politics, which can hardly be reckoned among the social accomplishments. It is true that at one period of his life he was a jockey but it is out of the question that in the more or less narrow confines of a drawing room he should give any demonstration of his ancient skill. It is also said that a year or so ago at a Maryland track he refreshed him- self copiously from a large flask, and while this has its place it cannot pro- perly be put forward as a reason why people should spend the evening with him. He is of course a good poker player, but no better than Mrs. Long- worth, and even if he garbed himself in his tribal paint and wampum he would not present such a delightful picture as his rival, who is said to enjoy herself most when she is wear- ing black satin pajamas. Mrs. Longworth impresses her friends as one who does not trouble herself much about conventions of any sort. She dresses plainly, says what she likes, smokes cigarettes from the longest tube in Washington and may be harassing Mrs. Green merely for the sake of amusement. Bet it is possible that she may be doing what her husband wants her to do. There has always been a certain undesirable mistiness about the sta- tus of a speaker's wife, and for gen- erations a ,kind of prolite feud has been waged between her and the wife of the chief justice of the supreme court as to precedence. The honor of the house of representatives is oppos- ed to the honor of the senate, and each has a doughty champion. While Mr. Longworth is a first class mix- er, he is also a man conscious of the dignity of his office. Socially the odds favor the Longworths, at whose en- tertainments one may hear Princess Alice say that if you want good liquor nowradays you had to get it either from the bootlegations or the rum- hassies. The mental processes of the Curtises and the Ganns do not reveal themselves in such jesting. 0 fl ie tr OMEN of mill ages, all over the wor9dlD are r, ding nna r healm Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Gravity flow does away with forced feed. A short feed line with az mini- mum of elbows and connections is easy to service and eliminates approximately 11O0 parts reqpnrred by the vacuum tank or ffuel pump system. The nine gallon tank is so placed that it is well protected from front or rear end collision. Any overflow runs off on the ground with no serious results, since the only point of possible spark contact is the rear end of the exhaust. Three screens instead of one, as in most fuel systems, prevent foreign matter reaching the tank. A solid steel dash sep- arates the Ford gas tank from the engine. The gas guage on the clash of the Ford car is controlled by a simple float as shown in diagram, being more direct, Simple and accurate than any other type. Another point of driving convenience made possible by the gravity flow system is the ease with which the tank may be filled, while the driver supervises the operation without moving from behind the wheel.

Ife planned to become prime minister, to win the Derby, and to marry the richest girl in England. He achieved all three, though not in the order named. But he was famed for something else which was also men- tioned in the despatch, namely his insomnia. Lord Rosebery, in fact, is perhaps the most illustrious of living insomniacs, and at various times in the past 20 years or so we have felt a deep sympathy for him. We have heard how he used to take long walks at night to shake off the fits of sleep- lessness that tormented him. When the motors came in he used to make swift nocturnal journeys because he could not sink into forgetfulness. An occasional •glance at a new photograph would show a man with somewhat glassy eyes and swollen eyelids as though he were enduring or had en- dured some shocking ordeal. And yet we note that he is 81 years old. •Sl`eeplessness, then, would not appear to he fatal, or even to lessen appreciably the span of life. Every now arid then Thomas Edison makes a remark to the -effect that we sleep too much. He himself has got along with an average of between four and five hours in the 24 and we never hear of his being ill. He, too, is an old man and a wise one. He has said "Humanity can adjust itself to al- most any circumstances. Not so long ago we had a good deal of trouble here in the factory while we were trying to perfect the disc record for phonographs. Eight of us then start- ed upon the work with the very defin- ite intention of wasting as little time as possible. Por five weeks we put in from 145 to 150 hours a week each at the job. One hundred and fifty hours a week means more than 21 hours a day—and we all gained weight." By this habit of sleeping about half as long as the average man, Mr. Edison has really extended his span of life by perhaps twenty working years and with work as im- portant as his this is a boon to hu- manity. His own experience adds point to the question raised by Dr. Robert Kingman, a noted American neurop- sychiatrist in "Plain Talk." Asks Dr. Kingman, "Shall we sleep life away?" Answering his own question he pro- ceeds to explain why we sleep and why we sleep too much, and what can be done to curb this iniquitous practise of which we see evidences on every hand. He relates the curious incident that Napoleon, in the days of his glory, slept not more than four or five hours at the very most out of the 24. He never felt tired or sleepy and certainly his brain gave no indi- cation that it was in need of more repose than he permitted himself. In his younger days, following the battle of Aspern, which was the first he lost after a series of 17 victories, he fell ssleep and for 36 hours could not be roused. Later on when he went to St. Helena, he found it necessary to sleep eight or nine hours every night P'tp NQCr® 411 OPnNa VINTOTLC20, OL VP. z.een ,eaMro. 02214AVION QUICKLY' C221.02Vato fun!, mixer =warm ov ntian2 4142 eanatat.P 4MA4 NAI MLS ri o To -mow= tag oacbvaraCfa~J. and developed other sluggish habits. poleon was not monotonous. Nor wan the work of Edison, nor the occupi i - tion of the gambler when he was suc- cessful. Men who have what is called a colorful existence do not want to sleep as much as others. Some ani- mals sleep in the winter mainly be- cause of monotony, and because gen- erally there is no point in staying a- wake. Nansen in his polar exile slept 20 hours a day. In c irnates where the extreme heat in summer forbids any kind of physical for mental ac- tivity, the people slep through the most oppressive hours of the day. La these climates there are also some cold-blooded animals which sleep through the hot weather, a process called ['estivation," which proves that hibernation is not a natural reaction to extreme cold. Dr. Kingman says that a fondness for sleep is an unfav- orable sign and points out that it no very manifest in imbeciles. The idea would seem to be for a man to culti- vate some hobby that will prove grat- ifying to his ego or in some other way to seek to get some excitement into his life. Then he will not want to sleep so much, and the chances are that his health will improve. . There is also on record the case of a gambler who could go without sleep for several days and nights, provided he was winning. After a heavy loss or even a season in which his win- nings were offset by his losses, he found ten or 12 hours' sleep necessary to put him in shape to face reality again. Dr. Kinsman's theory is that the successful, happy, active man— the man who thinks well of himself— finds life so interesting and so many pleasant and exciting things to occupy his mind that the brain does not crave sleep. The man whose ego is being powerfully stimulated does not need nearly so much physical and mental repose as the under dog, whose thoughts are generally prone to be despondent or self -commiserating. Edison can do with little sleep be- cause his life has been largely a suc- cession of triumphs. But if Edison were mere'v an employee in his own firm he would sleep a good deal more than he d :ss. hr. Kingman arrives at this conclr3i :1 by point:r,g to the sc n.nd psycno: i ,v of the man who first :ail that • c'uu ge is as god as a rest. The l sirees man after a mete :y day at his office, will go home, change his : l .then. z rid spend seve: .1 lnc, e h ^•s at :B dimer inhere he riles a tried deal of tr'Idng and at th•• the acre. At the en-, of it a17 'ie feels s good deal fresher than he felt at five o'clock. Similarly a long game of golf will freshen up the exhausted by a day in the office. Actually neither has had any rest. What tires a man in the office is the' need to keep his feind upon one problem, the problem of his ,business, and, the correspond- ing need of keeping all other thoughts ant of his mind. Relieved from busi- ness cares the other ideas will pour, in agreeably and there is no need to exercise any censorship over them. What then tires people and makes eight hours sleep a necessity or supposed necessity for the average man? Monotony.
