The human body is the busiest fac- tory in the world. There is no eight Immo day, no elaelt Feaeore no holidays, no eeesation of labor at any time. Day atei night work ie being carried on in the werkehop of your body, 4wd it never cease% until the engine—the heart --- et ops forever. The factory of your body has its motive power, without whieli it would have to else down at. once. That motive power is the blood, healthy, rieh, led blood which keepe your whole sys- tem efficient and whieh drives away all diseases that may attach Good, red blood is the ehief con- troller of every action; the source of all the energy you posies% It builds up every substance of your =soles, nerves, inews and flee!). It removes the waste and poisonous products eon- stantly ereated in your body, which, if allowed to remain set up disease and weakeess of every kind. Good blood gives energy and vitality to the nervous syetem, vesicles regulating the function of the stomach, inteetines, liver, kid- neys and other organof the body. Briefly, on the purity and riehnese of your blood the health of your whole body depeuds, Often the blood begins to fail and be- comes thin and poor in quality. It be. coulee loaded with waste matter and charged with poieons. Then it is that the motive power cif your bodily Work- shop goes wrong, your physical machin- ery becomes disorganized and you fall ill. You become anaemic; maybe the nerves break down, or you begin to suffer from indigeetion, neuralgia, gen. eral debility, severe headaches, pains in the baek or side, rheumathen,or even paralysis. In all‘ failures of the blood Dr. limns' Pink Mlle are the 'best known remedy. These pills aetually make new, rich blood, which brings health and en- ergy to every part of the body. Thou- sands and thousands of people, not only in Canada, but all over the world, testi- fy to the truth of this ?statement. The following is a bit of proof, Mrs. Fred Strieker, jun, Moosefield, Out., says: "A few years • ago I was a physical and. nervous wreck, I had. pains throughout my whole body. I had no appetite and my stonmeh felt as if there was a big lump in it. The least exertion would make my heart beat violently, and I would be attacked. with trembling spells, and such a weaknees that my breath would -come in gasps. I wae under a doc- tor's care for nearly two mouths, but got very little relief. I then tried other remedies, Init with no better results. Finally I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and this was the first medi- cine that reached the root of my trou- ble. After taking the pills a few weeks I was much bettor, and by the time I bad taken ten boxes I was entirely re- covered, I now always keep the pine in the house and if I feel the least worn out take an occasional box and feel all Tight again."

Among the military posts which Sec- retary Stimson proposes to dispense with at once are Plattsburg Barracks and Fort Ethan Allen. Beth have been sup- posed to possess strategic importance at Least equal to Fort Porter, at Buffalo, or the post he suggests at Albany. They are near the Canadian line( and Fort Ethan Allen, at least, was established with special reference to the possible occasion for cutting the St. Lawrence Canals to prevent small naval vessels from being run through Into the lakes, That is the reason a cavalry regiment; has been kept there. if We should have any difficulty with Great Britain she could reinforce the merely nominal navel force on the Great Lakes, while we could not, and if it be worth while to maintain fleets and armies to provide ter remote cA:ntingencies, it would seem to be rather more sensible to keep a regiment of cavalry near the St. Law- rence Canals than to keep a brigade at Buffalo or Albany. Strategy has not just been invented; there was a little of It around the War Department when Vert than Allen was established, A VALUABLE MEDICINE FOE YOUNG CHILDI1EN Belbyts 0ern Tablets are a _meet vala liable medicine for infants and young children.

I. know a young man who started farming for himself five years ago. Ile has succeeded and last year purehaeed an auto. For thie act In' has been cri- ticised unmercifully by his father, and yet I remember that it caused a much greater sacrifice for this man to buy a buggy :35. years- ago. Hie neighbors predicted bankruptcy, without fail. You see, therefore, that it all depends. The first top hugg,y that came into our locality was regarded. as a vent - able death trap and the man who own- ed it was called a "loon" not only be hind his bock, but also to his face. Homes are cheaper, at least for the • time being. Many think all the decline will be regaieed by spring, when good hoesies will be es high as the higheet. Market prophecies are tie uncertain as weather prophecies, and no wise man - will make either or believe in either, but this time we have the Presidential elee. tion -to take into consideration, and there's no telling what will happen in a• Presidential year. The horse now idle that does consid- erable work during the summer, needs daily exercise to keep his digestion, as- similation and circulation in proper working order. While making your New Year molu- tions, what have you resolved to do about parcels post? Too many farmers who need this never have resolved about it—that's always been the great draw - hack to its adoption. Unless the, farm- ers speak up in 'writing to their Con- gressmen and tell them they want par- cels post, there's little poedbility of its ever being realized, as the interests who do not want it are constantly bringing up argument against it. Write a letter to your Congressman, urging him to support parcels post—' -not to -morrow or next week, but right now If you speak to the eerse, then yell at him again before he has time to obey the first command, you may just ex- pect him to become confused till he acts almost as crazy as his master does. Adding a little grain to the roughage ration of even the stock herds, not only saves roughage, but by furnishing a greater variety of feed, better digestion will be promoted and more nourishment obtained than from a like amount of single article of feed. If you would, have the bank account balance in your favor, be sure to feed the dairy cows a balanced ration. This is a good time to get on close terms with those colts. Some of the farmers say they are not going to pay such high prices for hired help another year, and the hired help say they will not work for less than they received this year. Who will fin- ally give in remains to be seen, but I have an idea both will have to give in a little. I wonder if those who complain so about the boys and girls having the farm -aver tried the experiment of mak- ing the farm home pleasant, profitable and agreeable to the young folks. Keep- ing them everlastingly busy at home and giving them no money to spend for their own, is calculated to sicken any- one of farm life. My grandfather used to make axe and hammer handles that would last for years and years. I was wishing for one of his make the other day, after break- ing a 25 cent handle that had about as mueh strength to it as if made of so much brown paper. It seems an excep- tion to get a. "store" handle that is any good.• If I had some of the old Vermont wood Tewould try making some, opeele WHAT FOLLOWED A CUT A Madistratels Wonderful Experience With btu-B(1k. Mr. J. E. Arsenault, a Justice elf the Peace, and station master at Welling- ton, on the Prince Edward Island Ry., has had a wonderful proof of the heal- ing powers of Zam-13uk. He says: "Four years ago I had an accident. I slipped in the station and fell on a freight truck, sustaining a bad cut on the front of my leg. I thought this would heal, but instead of doing so it developed into a bad ulcer and later into a form of eczema which spread very rapidly and also started on the . other leg. 'Both legs became so swollen' and sore that I could only go about my work by having them bandaged. My doctor Bald I must stop ,work and lay up. Atr• "After six menthe of this trouble I consulted another doetor, but with no better result. I tried all the salves, liniments and lotions I heard of, but instead of getting better I got worse. "This was my condition when I got my first box of Zam-Buk. Greatly to my delight that first box gave me re- lief. I continued to apply it to the sores, and day by day they got better. I could see that at last I had got hold of something which would cure me, and in the end it did. "It is now over a year since Zam-Buk worked a cure in my ease, and there has been no return of the eczema or any trace of it." Such is the nature of the great cures which Zam-Buk .is daily effecting. Pure- ly herbal in composition, this great balm is a sure cure for all skin diseasies, cold scree, chapped hands, frost bites, ulcers, blood -poisoning, varicose sores, piles, scalp sores, ringworm, inflamed patches, cuts, burns and bruises.

Iowa is going to give the farm-er of that state .an anual gift of some- thing like $25,000,000; if the legisla- ture can be persuaded to spend $100,- 000 a year for soil investigation. Illinois has spent $85,000 a year on soil investigation for some years, resulting in increasing the yield of corn eix bushels an acre. A like in- enease the country over would. amount to over C00,000,000 bushels. Investigations Of the 'soil determine just how much nitrogen, phosphorus-, potassium, eolcium and organic mat- ter is preeent. When these investiga- tions have been completed—that is of every farm in the state—the experts would be able to tell each farmer just whet his coil lacks and what must be put into it to make it yield better crops: • The soil :s the Treat bea:e of. ail prosperity and there isn't one farmer in a thousand that know a what his soil contains, or what it needs, and few of them con find out. With poor crops the farmer leaea money, be- cause he hasn't the "extinct to sell; the city man has to pay higher prime for what he dees pet. With a greater production per acre, the farm- er and the ultimate eonsumer e,h oul d and undoubtedly would share in the gains. Iowa, with but an increase of a half bushel of corn pee acre in the last several years, and with a lose in" rural population has already start- ed on its outlined programme of farm improvement. Prof. W. H. Stevenson of the state college has planned to send through the whole state speeirily trained men to take sever -al hundred samples of soil to the depth of 04 inches. These cant - plc a will be tested, and flee owners of the farms told just how to go abut it to improve the fertility of their lands and get bigger crops.

A friend is One who has this will. Yo one ever was such a friend as Christ. Paul tells us in the first verses of the, second chapter of the Epistle to the Philippians how farereaolaing OxristU Friendship was. There was no sacrifice shitoop.git.enatsofor Zeitw. onnederlaluld aesivcIdeyillie4 kil4kga: ptied Himself of Hie rights in God that He might come down to them and serve them. He was the greatest friend quraanity ever had. He did not only feel for it; He worked and died for it Friendship stops at nothing but false- hood. A friend is one who will meet end bear anything for others. Christ was such 0, friend. He entered human- Ity. It must have been as a eharnel- house to RIB pure soul. It was full of hate and lust and sin. All about flirt, is He went to and fro on earth, He saw what was repellant and shameful, Men showed Him their worst. What He saw was enough to have convinced any =I alse that humanity was not worth sav- ing. But it did not convince Him. Ba was friend, and therefore He loved of filoemvee.oe the more He saw the need Friendship sees the good that does not exi,st(, but that love can create. A friend ie one who believes and whose belief make e the Impossible poeiaible. Thie was Christ. "Stamen," He saw in the fickle fisherman the possibility of the steadfast Apostle. Simon did not see it. I was not there. But Christ saw it, it end and produced it. Again and again His love deteeted non-exis- tent beautiee and created them. Love believeth all things, Christ's love be- lies -e5 in us when we are utterly un- worthy and unreliable, and that is our first ray of hope. We believe that He eau do anything, and He believes there He can do something with IN. Such a friend is the maker of a new character in us. W Friendship never bmiloe or Mee. "Re was my friend once, but not now," we say of this one or that one. So? Neverfit the world. If He ever ass He is. The friendahip of Christ 'was to the end and the uttermost. It is so still. We may have grieved Him much and of- ten. We surely have. But that has not made Him !We a. friend. He is the. still just where He was. His is the love that will not let us go. It is BO'because His love is not make-believ or imitation, but love. No love decays. AU the wat- ers cannot quench it. It is stronger thaa all deaths. now do we treat such e. friendship as this'? As we ought, or as we treat no other friend?
