Could Not Sleep..
in The Dark.
Doctor. Said Heart and
Nerves Wore Reaponaible.
There is litany a lean and woman toss-
ing night atter night upon a sleepless bed.
Their eyes do not close in the sweet and
refreshing repose that comes to those
whose heart and nerves are right. Some
constitutional disturbance, worry or
disease has so debilitated and irritated
the nervous system, that it cannot be
quieted.
Mrs. Calvin Stark, Rossmore Ont.,
•writes:-" About two years ago I began
to be troubled with a smothering sensa-
tion at night, when I would lie down. I
got so 'bad I could not sleep in the dark,
and would have to sit up and rub my
limbs, they would become so numb.
My doctor sitd my heart and nerves were
respon':blo. I saw Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills advertised and got a box to
try them. I took three boxes and can
now lie down and sleep without the light
burning and can rest well. I can recom-
mend them highly to all nervous and run
down women,"

NOTES AND COMMENTS
s
In 1801 there were in Europe only
22 cities whioh had more than 100,000
inhbaitants. There were London, Dub-
lin, Paris, Marseilles, Lyons, Amster-
dam, Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, Rome,
Naples, Milan, Venioe, Palermo.
Madrid, Baroelona, Lisbon,, St. Paters.
burg, Moscow, Warsaw, Copenhagen
and Constantinople. Two only of these
cities had more than 500,000 -London,
950,000, and Paris, 600,000. Napes
fourth, with 280.000.
It is not the intention of the Govern •
ment to renew the iron and steel'bount-
iea whioh finally expire at the end of
the coming fiscal year. The bounties
have now been in foroe fourteen years,
and the Government believes that the
iron and steel industries are now esta-
blished on the euffioiently firm basis to
do without the crotch of an annual sub-
sidy from the Federal treasury. Since
1896 the total bounties on iron and steel
have amount to over fourteen million
dollars.
As a oountry with a great population
engagedin all lines of industry, Great
Britain does not, by any means, pro-
duce enough grain, meat, dairy and
other food•stnffe to satiety the home
demands, and consequently many mil-
lion pounds worth are imported. Dur-
ing the past year, for example, the value
of the principal articles of imported
food as deolared to the Customs' offioers
at the various ports of arrival, amount-
ed to no lees than $956.610,000 compared
with en average of 5923,185,000 in the

whether Lobb had in any case charged

"Yes. Later he got $40 a day." Mr.

POOR BUSINESS.
(London Advertiser)
Messrs. J. J. Young and Si; J. O'Brien
pnrohased 20 sores of land near Cobalt
for $10,500 in April, and turned it over
for $330,000 in Ootober.
It was a much better stroke df busi-
ness for J. J, Young and M, J. O'Brien
than for the people of Ontario.
These 20 stores were a part of the fam-
ous Gillies limit, whioh was withdrawn
from prospecting by the government on
the plea that it was enormously rioh in
silver, and that its wealth should be re-
tained for the Province. The Premier
was eloquent on the subject, and referr-
ed to the limit as a heritage of the peo-
ple of Ontario.
A portion of the limit desoribed on the
map as lot A 23 was later advertised for
sale, without consulting the Legislature.
It is remarkable that the Government
was apparently so ignorant of its value
as to part with it for $10,500, while the
engineers employed by the parohasers,
Messrs, Young and O'Brien, almost 1m.
mediately located several rich veins,
after an expenditure of only $3,500.
Why had the Government engineers
not made this discovery? Why was so
little time allowed in whioh those who
tendered or thought of tendering could
examine the property? Inoompetenoe
in the mining department has in this
one case ooet the Provinoe $800,000.
Perhaps the last purchasers will make
thomeelves millionaires out of the peo-
ple's heritage,

Verse 2, -Of how mach avail is the
faith of one man in behalf of another?
OAN YOU EXPRESS AN OPINIQN,

WHETHER ONE MAN'S FAITH

Valles 3. 4. -Why was it evil, for the
soribee to donbt the authority of Jesus
to forgive sin?
Why is a man guilty for sincere doubt
when the doubt is a result of a sinful
life?
Did Jesus always know all the thoug-
hts of all men, in the same way that
God does, or did he only know their
thoughts through their action, and
from his general knowledge of human
nature just like other men who o8n
readily read men?
Verse 5.-Whioh was the more diffi-
cult, to pronounoe the forgiveness of the
man's Bins, or to onre him of his disease?
Was it God, or the man. Jesus, that
forgave this man his sine, and has every
other holy man got authority to pro-
nounce when a man's sins are forgiven?
Verses 6, 7 -How did the onre of this
sick man demonstrate that Jesus had
power to forgive sine?
In what way are the miracles of Jesus
a demonstration of the claims of Jesus,
and of the troth as taught by him?
This is the month that the average
farmer throughout Ontario hires hie
hired man for the spring and summer
season. If the home is the foundation
of society, the stay of the church, and
the corner -stone of a nation, then the
hiring of the hired man is of more con.
eegnenoe than the hiring of the district
sohool teaoher, the appointment of the
preaoher, or even the election of a mem-
ber of Parliament.
In the bright old ages whioh were an
absurd oombination of fendaliem and
democracy, of wolf and weasel. of lion
and jackal, the hireling sat at the same
table and in the same great hall with
Ms lord and master, only' leo sat below

farmer of 1910 is a feudal chief, or rath-

hired man, in more or lees primitive
fashion, eats with his master in his maw
ter's household, although he doesn't eat
any amble pie, if he knows himself. He
lives better than the feudal barons ever
did, and he helps himself to the best on

Review.
THE QUIET LIFE.
To many oity dwellers urban life
sometimes grows irksome. Often they
tiro of the stress and strain, the roar
and beetle of metropolitan existence.
It is then that they long for remote and
quiet places, for simple rural ,eeeaes.
With George Gissing's "Henry Rye-
oroft," they experience fatigue at the
world's growing noisiness and desire to
escape the persistent clamor of traffio-
thronged streets.
After years of struggle for a living
got by Ms pen in the city, a legaoy
enables him to, settle down in a modest
Devon cottage. There he writes:
"Every morning when I awake I thank
heaven for silence. This is my prison.
I remember the London days, when
sleep was broken by clash and clang,
by roar and shriek, and when my first
sense on returning to consoionsness,
was hatred of the life about me. Noises
of wood and metal clattering of wheels,
banging of implements, jangling of bells
-all Inch things are bad .enough, but
worse still is , the olamorous human
voice."
Again he says: "I remember with
a strange feeling that there are people
who, of their free choice, spend day and
night in cities, who throngto the gabble
of drawing rooms, make festival in pub-
lic eating houses, sweat in the glare of
the theatre, They oail this life. They
call it enjoyment. Despite the persist-
eat trend of population toward large
centres, there are thousands who share
Henry Ryeoroft's sentiments and sensi-
bilities. If they could, gladly they
would esoape the unseemly pressure,
unwholesome excitement and nerve-
wracking sounds of pity life. Happy is
he who, being so inolined, is able to
gratify his simple desires by Nettling
dove in a oonntry oottage furnished with
a garden, a few books and an 000aeional
friend.

There was a good suggestion made in
the Ontario Legislature the other day
by the member for Centre Huron, When
he urged that the construction of a
system of good roads over Ontario
wonid be brought nearer if the Gover*
meat would take over certain rondo and
oonntruot them upon regular plane. This
is quite in line with what Canadian
Vann has bean advocating for several
months past. While everyone must ft*
mit that Nome progress is being made by
the system that is now in operation
under the Road Improvement Aot of
assisting county codnoils 20 the ottani
of one-third of the apieunt expended by
them on roads, yet it does not seem that
we are getting there tart enough. More.
over, there is an indelniteneee about
the whole thing that maker one ekeptl-
oat ar of the permanency and effective•
nest of the work aimed at, 1 y the
Goverment taking over certain leading
route and dividing the others tip among
the county and township Cotinails, re.
sponeibility for the 'wire end Malnten-
*hoe of the roads could be placed where
it belongs, The weakness of the pre*
sent plan is the divided responsibility,
especially as to the up keep of the roads
after they are improved. No leading
road oan be kept uniformly good with
one municipality responsible for one
'motion and another for another section.

WINTERING THE EWES,
Good Results Can by 5.1.
ercising and Feeding Well.
How many of us appreciate that this
time of the year, when the• ground in
covered with a mantle of anew, is one
of the times when it is Most vital for
the shepherd to show his good judge
went in the care of his flock,
Every good ilockmastor knowsthat
the drain on the ewe's system is as
great at this season as at any time
during the year and that she must be
cared for accordingly, Ewes are not
like cows or sows, which are growing
only offspring, but they are growing a
fleece as well, and they must be fed in
proportion 'to the demands made upon
their systems. They do not need any
expensive feed, but they do need plen-
ty of nitrogenous feed, such as clover
and alfalfa hay.
About the best way to handle a band
of breeding ewes is to give them a
little corn fodder early in the morning,

CHEVIOT EWES.
(From Breeder's Gazette, Chicago.]
scattered on the blue grass pasture as
far from the sheds as possible, even a
half mile not being too far. From one
to two stalks of fodder is enough for
each ewe. The larger ears of corn
should be husked out of this fodder.
A small nubbin or half of a medium
'sized ear is ample for each ewe. No
matter how cold it is, they will go
after this fodder unless it is storming
badly. After the fodder is eaten they
will paw the snow off the blue grass
and nibble there for hours and enjoy
doing so.
Early in the afternoon the racks In
the yard should be filled with alfalfa
or clover hay, so that when the ewes
come wandering back from their corn
fodder and blue grass pasture they .
will have a feed of clean, bright hay
waiting for them. The exercise in go-
ing to and from the place where the.
fodder is strewn will give the ewes an
added appetite.
The night quarters should be dry and
comfortably bedded. A shed tight on'
three sides with the south side open'
is the best protection that can be
given.
Ewes handled in this way will come
through the winter in the best of phys-
ical
hysieal condition. They will grow a good
fleece and produce one or two strong,
vigorous lambs. If the ewes have had
all the alfalfa or clover hay they will
clean up every day and have had
enough exercise to keep them in ro-
bust health there will be but little
trouble at lambing time. The per-
centage of losses will be small and the
profits large. i

Tuberculosis and Cows.
The great white plague among ho-
mankind will be largely disposed of
when the great white plague among .,
the dairy animals has been eradicated.
Such is the view of a prominent veter-
inarian. His experience convinces him
that the most prolific soil for the prop-
agation of tuberculosis germs is the
animal that is already run down and
out of condition by common prevents
ble and curable ailments.
There should be general cleanliness,
good ventilation, thorough sanitation
and frequent disinfection of all quar-
ters where cattle are kept. The condi-
tions
onditions of the cow's life are reflected in
that of human beings, since we are in-
timately dependent upon the cow for
milk, cream, butter and cheese, one or
more of which articles nearly every
person consumes in greater or less
quantity every day. Thorough sanita.
tion of animals and quarters and
prompt attention to the more common
and curable diseases are the methods
whereby tuberculosis in cattle may be
more speedily eradicated.
From about 20,000,000 Cows there is
produced in this country in round num-
bers 8,000,000,000 gallons of Milk year-
ly, 1,500,000,000 pounds of butter and
'300,000,000 00r pounds

of cheese, valued in
the aggregate at about $70,000,000.
Practically ail the milk and butter are
consumed in America as well as 00 per ,
cent of the cheese. Outside of the
bread grains there is no source of food
so important as the dairies, Adultera-
tion of this universal food, menacing
though it is, is not so inimical an in-
fection trona diseased cows.
'The Way to Churn.
Do not use a fussy churn with a lot
of gearing and inside fixings. There
is no better or cheaper churn for
farm work than the plain barrel churn
that turns end over end and brings the
butter by ei)nei18818M The one end in
