"A large variety of different foods
should not be eaten at one time, as it
will make a disturbance and create a
flatulence of the bowels." Although
these words were uttered over twenty
centuries ago, they are up-to-date and
in reality down -to -date, and would
proye beneficial to anyone who would
cut them out, paste them up, read
them daily and then heed them.

—Money seems to be plentiful in the
Old Land, for within the last four
and a half years, Canadian munici-
palities have borrowed one hundred
million dollars on the London market.
The money lords there seem quite
satisfied with Oanadian securities, but
seeing we want so much, are asking
a little higher rate of interest. But if
there is great wealth in the Old Land,
there is also dire poverty, as evidenced
in the larger cities, and in connection
with the recent coal and dock -labor-
ers' strikes. Possibly in no other
country are the extremes of great
wealth and abject poverty more
frequently seen. The density of popu-
lation and the limited agricultural
production, help to make the struggle
for bread more acute, We wonder
not at the large emigration to this
Canada of ours.

—Politicians in old England have a
decidedly interesting time just now,
possibly bordering on excitement and
danger. What with the unrest over
the Home Rule Bill, and the Suf-
fragette movement, there must be
considerable anxiety as to the final
outcome. When the British Premier
has to be guarded by policemen, lest
he be torn to pieces by women in their
fierce demand for the franchise, few
will envy him his po: ition. Nor are
such actions evidence that the perpe-
trators are fit to enjoy the franchise.
No doubt the women of the Old Land
will yet be given the franchise, but we
predict that the Suffragette pro-
gramme of window smashing and per-
sonal attack, will delay, and not has-
ten, the legislation they desire. Little
pity for the women, armed with
hammers to smash plate glass win-
dows and attack politicians, if they
do spend a few months in jail. Evi-
dently the political arena in the home
land has its disturbing influences.

—Society might manage to exist
after a fashion without merchants,
lawyers, doctors, manufacturers and
plumbers, or even without journalists
—although that would be more diffi•
cult—and still the great stream of
human happiness would not cease to
flow, and the world might continue to
improve mentally and morally. But
without farmers, where would we all
be "at ?" Paralyze the farmers' hands
for one year and the very foundations
of business would be shaken. It is
true as one writer says :—The farmer's
vocation is‘the highest of all arts,
The judicious and methodical farmer
extracts abundant leisure for domestic
duties and home delights. In the
good progress of the agricultural art,
he can still hover about his domestic
circle, and bend upon it the proper
amount of regard and attention. He
may not, by some hazardous specu-
lation in trade realize a startling in-
crease to his hoards, but he is ever
certain of competence, and can surely
calculate on moderate gain. Better
than all else he enjoys the sweet re-
pose of heart and mind. The cares
and anxieties and acerbities of the
great world never reach his happy
home. The diseased excitements and
prurient amusements of the great
city have no charm for him. He
revolves about a world of his own."

--Why all this talk of war between
Britain and Germany ? One day, we
read that "war is imminent," next
day, we read that both nations are
friendly. Why should these leaders
among the nations fight, anyway ?
Are they not neighbors, their subjects
peace -loving, and do not German and
Briton live side by side in the same
community, the best of friends ? Sad,
that both governments are straining
every nerve, and increasing the na-
tional burdens by maintaining such
tremendous naval armaments, that
every year sends millions to the
scrap -heap. War would be a calarni-
ty to both nations. At heart, the
German and British people desire
peace, but a few idle, useless war
alarmists delight to keep up conten-
tion, that in the end may result in an
outbreak, Just as there are mischief-
makers in a community that are only
happy when strife is created, so it ap;
bears among nations. Or, it may be
that some greedy monopolists see a
chance for big profits out of an im-
mense war expenditure. Suppose
that Germany, Britain and the United
States resolved not to increase their
armaments, and decided to unite their
influence on other nations for good.
what might they not accomplish?
Wars would soon cease and the dawn
of universal peace be ushered in, By
their firm, wise, united influence such

Advices indicate a stiffening of the

good one for the yield, but the loss on
bees during the winter was heavy, so
that a smaller total crop is expected,
hence no decrease in the price may be
expected.

Paying The Price.
The success you envy another,
might be yours if you were ready to
pay the same price that he has paid.
The character you admire has been
carved by innumerable decisions in
favor of the right and against the
wrong. The reputation which is the
largest asset of another acquaintance
was acquired by consistent upright-
ness, Anyone can get an education
who is willing to make the' necessary
sacrifices. Anyone can have friends,
who is willing to do a friend's part.
While it is not true that every man
has his price, at least in the cynical
sense in which that statement is gen'
erally made—it is a fact that every-
thing has a price. You can have your
heart's desire if you are ready to pay
what it costs.

The village of Neustadt is experi-

one block on Station street, where the
traffic is the heaviest. They are put-

coet of about $325. The ordinary
gravel road would cost $111,60 for the
same length of road, but it is estimat.
ed. that the concrete will last from 15

Engineer here.
Engineer Bowman of Berlin was in
town recently advising the Water-
works committee as to the best
method of utilizing the water supply.
Instead of a reservoir, he advises
pumping direct from the wells
which wpuld be sufficient for a
number of years for domestic pur-
poses, and save the cost of the reser-
voir. If. the present pumping ap-
paratus was put in first class order, it
would be available for an emergency,
or in case of a protracted fire, The
committee is likely to accept the
advice of the engineer, and secure a
suitable pump for the purpose, td' be
operated by the Town's electrical
power.

is carved on the walls and columns

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
OLIVE OIL
If you wanted to buy oak
lumber and fbe man delivered
yellow pine, you would know
the difference.
If you wanted to buy silk
and they sent calico, you would
have no trouble in seeing fhe
substitution.
It's not so easy however with
"Olive Oil." Different so-called
Olive Oils look alike and taste
oily—but they don't act alike.
Just Think this over fie next
time you want Olive Oil. We
have no fake story about buy-
ing it from an "uncle in Italy
but we have The Canadian Gov-
ernment report on The Oil we
sell. Moreover we have tested
it chemically ourselves.
"IT IS ABSOLUTELY PURE"
You can always depend on -
geeting a first-class article at this
store.
