How To Tell If Your Nair Is
Diseased.
Even if you have a luxuriant bead of
hair, you may want to know whether
it is in a healthy condition or not.
98% of the people need a hair tonic.
Pull a hair out of your head, if the
bulb at the end of the root is white
and shrunken, it proves that the hair
is diseased and requires prompt at-
tention if its loss would be avoided. If
the bulb is pink and full, the hair is
healthy.
We want everyone whose hair
requires treatment to try Rexall "93''
Hair Tonic. We promise that it shall
not cost anything if it does not give
satisfactory results. It is designed to
overcome dandruff, relieve scalp irri-
tation, to stimulate the hair roots,
tighten the hair already in the head,
grow hair and overcome baldness.
It is because of what Rexall ''93"
Hair Tonic has done and our sincere
faith in its goodness that we want you
to try it at our risk. Two sizes, 50c
and $1. Sold only at our store—The
Rexall Store, J. W. McKibbon.
Churches To Fight Consumption.
A movenent fraught with tremend-
ous possibilities for good has been
launched in the form of a request that
the churches of Ontario should set
aside each year a Sabbath to be ob-
served as ''Tuberculosis Sunday." The
Interdenominational Ministerial As-
sociation of Toronto gave a ready as-
sent when the proposal was laid be-
fore them, and they have fixed. upon
Sunday, December 1st, as the day
upon which they will seek to awake
the interest and sympathy of their
congregations in the noble work being
done to succour consumptives, stay
the ravages of the disease, educate the
public in preventive measures, and
finally stamp out the scourge of tuber.
culosis. A general appeal issued to
the clergy of all denominations in On-
tario is meeting with a cordial re-
sponse, and in hundreds of pulpits the
sermons of Dec. 1st will be devoted to
this vitally important subject.
BEWARE OF BLOOD -POISON.
Zam-Buk Is A Sure Cure.
Mr. Jas. Davey, of 78(3 Ellice Ave.,
Winnipeg, says :--"A few months
since I WAS cured of a poisoned finger
through the timely use of Lam-Bnk.

knuckle an the first finger of my right
hand in opening a lobster can. I suf.
fered at the time with the soreness

become a serious wound. However,
However, in about two days I was
greatly alarmed: as my whole hand
and arm to the elbow became sudden-
ly inflamed, and the finger was much

poisoning. The pain was dreadful mad
Ives forced to leave off my work and
go home. 0
The wound on the knuckle had
been poisoned by dust and dirt get-
ting into it. I then decided to start
the14stn•fitik treatment, and having
first bathed the cut, I applied the heal-
ing balm. It soothed the pain al-
most instantly, and by next day there
was a great improvement.
"In a week's time, through perse-
verence with this wonderful prepare.,
tion, a eomplete cure was brought
about."

---1r. Wilson did not receive a
majority of the popular vote, of the
'United States. He has only forty.six
percent of the whole, though that is a
fine plurality over the next man, Mr.
Roosevelt, who has only twenty-nine
per cent. It would not however, be
safe to say that Wilson owes his.
election to division in the ranks of the
Republicans. It is certain that had
I1xr, Roosevelt not entered the field a
considerable proportion of the votes
he carrried would have been polled for
Mr, Wilson, and that the,latter would
have had a large majority, so that be
may be put down in any case, as the
choice of the nation. From present
appearances, Wilson's majority is the
largest ever given a President. Cleve-

---The burden of militarism in mod-
ern Christian countries is grievous and
distressing in the extreme, but after
all we must not forget that there is
something else that piles on a heavier
load even than it does. Last year the
British Isles spent $8 01 per capita on
the army and navy, and $17.61 per
capita on intoxicating liquors, Ger-
many spends less, according to her
population, in army and navy upkeep,
but she drinks more per head than
Great Britain, the figures being $3 25
for military purposes and $18,03 for
liquor, In the United States the army
and navy bill, exclusive of the Nation-
al Guards and the tremendously ex-
pensive pension system, was last year
$2 42 per head of population, while
the drink bill averaged $20.43 for
every man, woman and child of the
nearly ninety millions of population.
* * *
—Some idea of the capacity of the
ship -building firms of Great Britain
may be gained from the fact, that she
is holding this year a hundred mer-
chant ships for foreign countries.
There is no doubt that if the admir-
alty were authorized to increase the
naval programme by ten or twenty
Dreadnoughts the ships could be be-
gun as soon as the plans were ready.
This navy defends Canada as much as
it does Great Britain. It protects
Canadian shipping as well as ships be-
longing to the British Isles, If Cana-
da paid her share in proportion to the
shipping she owns her navy bill would
be $12,000,000 a year, If she paid in
proportion to her population the an-
nual bill would be three times that
sum. If she paid according to her
ability to pay, and to the value of her
domain at stake her share would still
be greater.
SEED GRAIN AND POTATOES.
By instructions of the Hon. Minister
of Agriculture a distribution of super -
for sorts of grain and potatoes will be
made during the coming winter and
spring to Canadian farmers. The
samples for general distribution will
consist of spring wheat (5 lbs.) white
oats (4 Ibs,) barley 5 Ibs) and field peas
(5 lbs.) These will be sent out from
Ottawa. A distribution of potatoes
(in 3 ib. samples) will be carried on
from several of the experimental farms,
the Central Farm at Ottawa supplying
only the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec. All samples will be sent free,
by mail,
Applicants must give particulars in
regard to the soil on their farms, and
some account of their experience with
such kinds of grain (or potatoes) as
they have grown, so that a promising
sort of their conditions may be se-
Iected.
Each application must be separate
and must be signed by the applicant.
Only one sample of grain and one of
potatoes can be sent to each faun.
Applications on any kind of printed
form cannot be expected. If two or
more 'samples are asked for in the
same Ietter only one will be sent.
As the supply of seed is limited,
farmers are advised to apply early
but the application will not necessarily
be filled in the exact order in which
they are received. Preference will
always be given to the most thought-
ful and explicit requests. Applica-
tions received after the end of January
will probably be too late.
All applications for grain (and. ap-
plications from the provinces of On-
tario and Quebec for potatoes) should .
be addressed to the Dominion Ceres-
list, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa, Stich applications require no
postage. If otherwise addressecrdelay
and disappointment may occur,
Applications, for potatoes, from
farmers in any other province should
be addressed (postage prepaid) to the

FARM POULTRY HOUSE.
Convenient, Sunny Location and. Good
Drainaoe Are Essential Points,
Ciood growth of poultry and heavy
egg production depend to a large ex-
tent upon the proper housing of the
stock. A bulletin issued by the Iowa
agricultural experiment station sets
forth the essentials of a good house
in brief form.
Tbo first consideration In building a
poultry house is its location. It is of
greatest importance to select a site
having well drained soil. It is next ie.
portant to have a convenient location.
'The poultry house may be nearer the
residence than the live stock barns, and

women have a large share in the
management of the flock on the aver-
age farm it should be so located. It is
undesirable to build the poultry house
near granaries, cribs or barns which
may furnish a harbor for rats and oth-
er vermin which prey on poultry. A
sunray location well sheltered from the
north winds Is highly desirable when-
ever it is possible to obtain it without
sacrificing good ground drainage.

its lightness and substantial construc-

NEEDS OF THE FARM.

need of better .methods of pro-

tongue that the month Is the seat of

Crow the mouth,

the existence of vesicles on the tongue

,how themselves in the form of a
tough white stain which can' be easily
stripped aft, and a red, raw surface is
found beneath. The animal seldom re-
fuses food, but rolls It about in its
month and often drops it Instead of
