The Famous Pedestrian Gentlemen:— "I was a martyr to catarrh of the head, throat and stomach. I was no had the doctora feared consumption. I tried many physicians and medicines. A friend suggested Psychino. 1 tried it and it was the only thing ever did nye any good. I art now perfectly well. It is the greatest remedy the world has ever known, I do not need it for my health now but I use it as a strengthener for my walking matches. I owe muck of my physical endurance to Psychine." JAMES REYNOLDS, st Pout Hope, Ont. Paychine is the greatest cure for catarrh of the head, throat or etomach in the world. It is a wonderful tonic and strengthener of run down system, acting directly on all the vital organs, giving youthful vigor and strength to the eyetem. At all druggists 50c. and $1, or Dr, T. A.

MILNE AsksUs to Print It, To relieve the worst forms of Rheu- matism take a spoonful of the follow- ing mixture after each meal and at bedtime : Fluid Extract Dandelion, cne•half ounce : Compound Kagan, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These harmless ingredients can be obtained from our home druggists, and are easily mixed by shaking them well in a bottle. Relief is generally felt from the first few doses. This prescription, states a well- known authority in a Cleveland morn - int; paper, forces the clogged -up, in- active kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheumatism. As Rheumatism is rot only the most painful and torturous disease, but dan- gerous to life, thin simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here et home., who should at once prepare the tnixture to get this relief, It is said that a person who would take this prescription regularly, a dose or two daily, or oven a few times a week, would never have serious Kid- ney or Urinary disorders sr Rheuma- tism. Cut this out and preserve it. Good Rheumatism prescriptions which real- ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and when you need it you want it badly. Our druggists here say they will either supply the ingredients or make the mixture ready to take, if any of our readers so prefer. Grow Ontario Wheat. Some of our farmers do not seem to realize the itnpo•tance of the success of Ontario millers in blending Ontario and Manitoba Wheat, In a word, it means, a growing demand for these blended flours, a steady market for Ontario wheat, better prices to the far- mer for his wheat, and lower prices for bran and shorts. All of these mach -wished -for requite' are due solely to the efforts of our millers. They first prove 1 to their own satisfaction that blended flours were better than flours made of a sin- gle variety of wheat. They proved by repeated tests, that a blend of Ontario wheat and alittle western wheat, made better bread than Manitoba "hard patent flour," and alga made better pies oake and pastry than Ontario "pastry flour." This is true bepanse blended flours contain the good qualities of both kinds of wheat. One of the largest bakeries in Toron- tried a blended flour for making "homemade bread," and in a short time they where working night and day in a vain endeavor to supply the demand. In the Maritime Provinces, blended flours have driven the Western flours out of the market in some instances, The millers have done more than their part in proving to the people that blended flours are best, It is doubtful if our farmers realize how much they can help in restoring the price of Ont - Suits -to -Order $10.00 Now is the chance of your lifetime to get a cheap Suit of Clothes.

What our farmers should do is to atop buying Western wheat flours and Use only Ontario blended flour's, This would create such a demand for Ontario wheat that the price would soon go up, and our farmers of course would get all the benefit, 'Poen, too, this ''ould help our dairy- men and stocklnen, ']'he prime cause of bran and aborts selling for such ri- diculously high prices, has been that. our local mills were grinding little wheat' and consequently there were none of 'these feeds for sale at the mills. They had to be brought frotn Manitoba and Alberta, end by the time the freight was added to the aloe profit which the Western millers demanded, the price was out of all proportion to what it should he, By buying blended flours and keeping our mine running to their full capacity, there will he plenty, of bran and shorts to sell at very much less titan they cost to -day, Morris Connell. tlutended for met issue.] The Council elect for the current year viz :—Geo.

Clark, Clerk, How to Secure Farm Help. During the past four year's the Sal- vation Army ]las succeeded in bring- ing to Canada a good class of farm laborers and domestic servants. Notwithstanding the protest made in some sections of the country, that there is a surplus of labor, the army officials find there is still a great de- mand for agricultural laborers, and they have found it necessary to charter several ocean liners to supply the need, The call for farm rebores comes from all parts of the Dominion, and now that the Ontario Government has de- cided not to continue supplying farm help, and as it is likely that immigra- tion to Canada will not commence un- til late in April, the demand for set- tlers coming out under the army aus- pices will be vary great, The first chartered ship will he the Keneington sailing from Lit•erpool Feb. 20th for British Columbia points, followed by the Southwark on March 5th for On- tario points; the Ionian from Glasgow, and the Kensington from Liverpool 011 March 26th. Farmers who have not made appli- cation for help for the corning season ere advised to write for application forms and further particulars to Lieut. - Col. Howell, 20 Albert St„ Toronto.
