P WINGHAM AD 1' AN O
THE MOH COST OF LIVINO.
(harm and Dairy.)
The record kept by the Dominion
Department of Labor reveals the fact
that the cost of living is still in-
creasing, and that it reached the
highest point on record during to e,
in other words, the increased wealth
farmers create through ueing improve-
ed methods of agricultural practice
and modern labor-saving nnacninery,
and the increased wages the city
laboring men obtain through the
efforts of their Iabor organizations,
are being taken away from them
through the increased prices they are
forced to pay for the necessities of
life.
As Farm and Dairy showed in the
series of articles published last winter,
it is not the middleman that is mainly
responsible for the increased cost of
living so much as it is the financial
interests which are operating under
the protection of the country's laws.
The increase in the cost of living is
due in part to the combines and
mergers which are operating behind
our high tariff walls, but it is due still
more to our eystern of land taxation
which enables the holders of land in
our industrial centres to, in many
instances, become wealthy through
advancing the values of the land in
these centres,
As the value of the land in our
cities increases, until in some cases
it is worth millions of dollars an
acre, the cost of doing business on
that land increases in proportion.
This money is taken out of the public
by the increased prices the people
are forced to pay for the goods hand-
led by the concerns doing business
on such land. In time we will se
that the high cost of living can b
prevented only by lowering our big
tariffs and taxing land according t
its value. Once we commence to tax
land according to its value, the cos
of doing business in our industria
centres will show a great decrease
We may try all other expedients, bu
in the end we will haveto adopt both
of the foregoing reforms as Great
Britain is now doing. It is to the
credit of our farmers' organizations
that they realize their importance and
that they are pressing for both re-
forms. Farmers everywhere should
back them up.
DETROIT'S DIVORCE MILL.,.
One Divorce For Every Niue Mar-
riages—Windsor Helps Feed
The Mill,
"only six cities in the United States
have a worse divorce record than De-
troit. In Detroit there is one divorce
for every nine marriages."
This astounding statement was
made by Rev.'. T. %V, Young, recently
its his sermon on "Divorce and Re-
marriage," at the North Baptist
church, Detroit, the ninth and last
address in a series on "Marrying' and
Giving in Marriage. He said ;—
"The growing evil of easy divorce
at the present time is one of the great-
est menaces to our homes, and to
human welfare. The average length
of married life in the United States
before divorce occurs is just a trifle
more than nine years. On an average
one couple out of every ten become
divorced --in some states as low as one
out of seven. Only six other cities in
the United States have a worse divorce
record than Detroit. In Detroit there
is one divorce for every nine mnar-
rieges. In 1310 there were granted
9.8 divorces. In eleven months or
1911 there were granted 1,002 divorces,
On January 1, 1010, there were pend-
ing before the courts of Michigan
16,046 petitions for divorce, of this
number 5,596 petitions were flied dur-
ing that year. On an average, in
Michigan, nine divorces are granted
every day of the week. The divorce
problem of Michigan is also the pro-
blem of other states and concerns the
whole nation,
"The Windsor marriage mill pro -
e duces grist for Detroit divorce mill,
e Almost every city has its "Gretna
b Green" to which superficial and silly
o people go to begin their ill-considered
married life and then later fly to the
t divorce court to get their silly deed
1 undone, The already lax divorce laws
. are loosely administered by some of
t the courts. Divorces are easily
obtained on trivial and inconsequen-
tial grounds. This fact is responsible
for many divorces. The fact that less
than two per cent. of the applications
for a divorce are denied is a 'serious
commentary upon the records of the
divorce col rta,"
Happiness For The Blind,
Thomas Jefferson wrote that all
men are endowed by their Creator
with unalienable rights, including life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Henry George said in "Social Pro-
blems that man is 50 constituted that
it is utterly impossible for him to
attain happiness save by seeking the
happiness of others. There are more
than two thousand persons in Ontario
—men, women and children—approxi-
mately one out of every thousand of
the general population — who, froru
c ruses usually ascertainable, are de-
prived of the sense of sight. What
chance would the blind have in the
pursuit of happiness, if left in ignor-
ance, idleness and dependence ? For-
tunately some provision has been
made to brighten the lives and im-
prove the condition of these afflicted
ones, though much remains to be done
to bring Ontario into line with the
more advanced states in America and
countries in Europe. For forty years
the Legislature of Ontario bas main-
tained at Brantford a school for the
education and instruction of the blind
children and youths of the province of
both sexes, without charge for board,
tuition or books ; and in that school
hundreds have been taught to read and
write, to sing and play on some music-
al instrument, and to do some useful
work, the remuneration for which
suffices or assists to provide an inde-
pendent livelihood. Of course no
amount of instruction can make a
blind person as competent as he would
be with sight, but it is surprising to
see how much, and what variety of
things the blind can accomplish by
touch and hearing, under proper guid-
ance.' There are in every country
many more blind adults than blind
children, and the Institution at Brant-
ford provides to aII applicants free
appliances by which the adult blind
can be taught at their homes to read
with their fingers. Children can be
much more easily, and more thorough-
ly, taught in the school for the blind,
therefore, the Principal makes his
annual appeal to the readers of the
Advance to send him the names of
any children in their vicinity who are
blind, or whose sight is so defective
that they cannot be effectively taught
in the Public Schools ---together with
the names and post office addresses of
parents or guardians, It is only by
the kindness of those who "seek the
happiness of others" that communica-
tion can be established between the
school and the children who should
enjoy its advantages,
Bull And Train.
A bull which got out of a field near
Ingersoll and tried to amuse himself
by racing down the Grand Trunk
tracks and charging an east-bottnd way
freight, en route front the tunnel to
Toronto, wrecked the train on Mon-
day evening, Engineer Bailey was
unable to stop, and the engine and
eight freight Cara were thrown oft the
track and badly smashed up as a re.
atilt of the bull getting under the
wheels. The auxiliary front London
was called and the Men worked all
night and got the line reopened for
trafllt at 8 o'clock next Morning. The
injuries to the bull could not be re-
paired,
FRATERNITY.
If I could write one little word
Upon the hearts of men,
I'd dip into the fount of love
And write with golden pen
One Iittle word, and only one,
And feel life's work on earth well
done;
For every heart would speak to me
That one sweet word, "fraternity."
The angel throng would sing a song
The sweetest ever heard,
If they could read in human heart
That precious little word,
For kindly thoughts and kindly deeds
Are treasures more than crowns and
creeds
In these the angel hosts would see
The children of Fraternity.
A man will need no other creed
To guide hint on life's sea
If he embarks upon the ark
Of true Fraternity.
For love divine will clasp his hand
And lead him to the promised land ;
Love to his fellowman shall be
His passport to eternity.
SOCIETY WOMEN SAY
There is nothing to equal SAGEINE

SAGEINE softens harsh, dry hair,
makes it rich and luxuriant in color
and removes every particle of dan-
druff, from the scalp. SAGEINE is
daintily perfumed; it is not sticky or
greasy and is really superior as a hair
dressing. Any woman can improve
her appearance by caring for her hair
with SAGEINE, A. L. Hamilton sells a

Worry And Fear,
A prominent medical authority
says :—"Worry and fear are at the
root of nervous prostration and pos-
sibly half our ills. If we could wrest
ourselves frotn the clutches of these
two tyrants what a world this would
be! As it is, we go through life afraid
of almost everything. We fear it is
going to rain or be too cold or be too
hot; that we are going to have rheu-
matism or appendicitis ; that this
or that is going to give us dyspepsia ;
that the banks are going to fail (that
wouldn't bother some of us ;) that
cholera or typhoid fever or some epi-
demic is coning next year. And sure
enough the things that we fear and
dread generally come; it is a way they
have, and it is in accord with law.
We are beginning to understand this
in some degree, and the sooner we
think of health and prosperity and all
good things, the better it will be for
us, The old law of "everything shalt
thou eat" is all right, Let us take the
good things with gratitude and not
with health and happiness destroying
fear."

Stand of Trees Valuable In Themselves
and Fat' Conservation of Moisture.
No intelligent farmer should require
an argument to induce holt to sur-
round his farm buildings with enough
trees to give hint a windbreak In
winter and a cool retreat in suuiiner,
says the Farm Press. It may require
some demonstration, however, to con•
viuce him that be can afford to give up
a few acres of seventy-five dollar land
to plant a crop or timber. We will
do our duty, nevertheless, by advising
every man to put in at least 10 per
cent of bis acreage to a permanent
forest growth, While the trees are
young he may utilize his land for
tillage crops, like corn or potatoes, and
before his trees are half matured be
can begin thinning them for firewood
or tenceposts or for other uses about
the farm. When his trees have reached
STAND OF NORWAY SPRUOId.
[Norway spruce will do well on any
moist soil, provided the soil is fairly well
drained. It should not be planted on dry
soil. Starting very slowly, its growth
after the first few years is good.. it will
endure heavy shade and Is therefore
a good tree to use in planting land al-
ready partly wooded. It is able to grow
on very shallow soil if such soil is moist.

a marketable size for lumber he will
find them a permanent and unfailing
source of Income. Black walnut trees,
which grow to their maturity with one
generation, have sold as high as $ i C
apiece, the wood being utilized for
furniture.
Entirely aside and beyond the money
value of a small forest tract and the
luxury that the sight of it provides to
every eye that beholds it is the fact
that trees do draw moisture, and peo-
ple who live in sections where the
rainfall is uncertain will fled their
farms are likely to grow better crops
and surer crops year after year as the
acreage given to tree crops increases.
"FIVE PROFIT" CROPS.
Corn, alfalfa and clover are
"five profit" crops. In other
words, they will give five profits
when wheat gives one. And
wheat cannot give that one un-
less helped out by corn, alfalfa
or clover.
The five profit crops are: First,
the crop; second, preparation of
• the land for a crop of grain and
,+ the assurance of a crop of grain;
third, the milk, butter, beef, eggs,
I+ pori; or horsepower that these
• crops can be manufactured into;
fourth, the manure; fifth, distrib-
