MAKE THE DRUNKS WORK. (Windsor Record) Somethinte is wrong with our laws when we see drunken bums fattened up at PUblie exrrnse in some jails and their wives working their fingers bare to earn a living for themselves. Who suffers when the dirty loafer is sent to prison? Certainly not the prison- er. He comes out looking like a prize porker. How about the poor wife that is left behind? She is one who must endure hardships by going out to wash clothes to keep body and soul together. Would it not be a good plan to serve the drunks with side order of hard labor and allow them $2.00 a day, say, for road - building. crushing stone or something else. and send half the money to the de- pendent wife or children, as the case may be? CAN LAUGH AT LIFE'S MINOR ILLS SINCE DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS CUR. ED HER KIDNEY DISEASE. New Brunswick Woman Tells How She Was Rescued from III Health By the Twin Remedies Dodd's Kidney Pills and Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets. Neguae, Allain P. 0., N. Be March 17. joseph G. Savoy, a well-known resident of this place, whose ill -health has been, a. matter of much concern. to her friends, is telling of the cure she found for all her troubles in Dodd's Kidney Pills and Dodd's Dys- pepela Tablets. "My health is fine now," Mre. Savoy eays, in an interview. "The pains are gone from my side and back, and. when I go to bed I can sleep. Before I started eggs Dodd's Kidney Pills .and Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets I could not eat any- thing heavy, such as meat, but now I can eat practically what 1pleese with no ill effeete." Mrs. Savoy was in a generally run- down .condition, and. her cure came about, by using the natural remedies. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured ,and invigor- ated her kidneys; time purifying her blood and. improving the circulation. Dadd's Dyspepsia, Tablets insured proper digestion of her food, thus fur- nishing the body with the nutrition it required. Women with healthy kidneys and eound digestion can afford. to laugh at the minor ills of life. 1 48 - LIME AND ITS EFFECTS. The eubject of liming bhe soil is one that is well worth considering. Lime is an essential soil constituent. It has two principal effects on the soil, both oper- ative principally -through the correction of soil acidity and. control of bacterial activity. The first principal effect, the proraotion of the growth of legumes, re- eults in building, up the nitrogen supply and general fertility of the soil, and is in all respects a good. and desirable thing. It is to be especially noted, how- ever, that this building up of the fer- tility of the soil is accomplished prin- cipally through the legume crops, and that if they are neglected the principal end and. aim. of liming to improve the soil' is defeated. The mere application of lime cannot materially enrich the soil. So far as this first principal effect of liming is concerned, tangible results in the form of bigger yields are not immediate except in the case of the leg- uminous crops, which develop more no- dules, fix more atmospheric nitrogen and make correepandingly larger growth. The benefit which the grain crops de;. rive from the growth of 17arger legumin - One crops evidently cannot begin to fillOW until at least one leguminous crop has been grown subsequent to the ap- plication of liine, In other words, the constructive, soil enriching effect of lime is not generally noticeable until the eecond or third year after applica- tion. The promotion of the growth of legum- es is the one effect which. above all oth- ers, justifies the use of lime. The second principal effect on the soil is destructive and exhaustive rather awe,. construetive and emit11111g, and tnay be- come extremely bad if earried to, excess. It is a process of availability Well the plant foods in the soil, but more cepec- ially the nitrogen, so that they may be VARICOSE VEINS ABOVE ANKLE , Broke into Sore.

SALT RHEUM ON BABY'S HEAD Woodstock, Yarmouth Co., N. 5.—"My baby was about three weeks old when he had salt rheum on his head and forehead. It began in a little fine rash, which came on his head and down over his forehead and formed a hard, brown crust. It looked terrible, and it must have bothered him quite a lot, as he would not sleep. I used to wasli him with the Cuticura Soap and hot water and put the Cuticura, Ointment on; and in three weeks his head and fore- head were clear. I can't speak too highly of the Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap." (Signed) Mrs. George IL Allen, Nov. 18, 1911. Outicura, Soap and Cnticura Ointment are sold iv druggists and dealers everywhere.

A. the more quickly and thoroughly used p. Phe results in this direction are im- mediate and affect all crops, but are not lasting, and the tendeney is toward more rapid soil exhaustion, not only due to the produetiou of larger yields, but in a larger degree to leaching of nitrogen, and too rapid combustion of organic matter. So long as •the stimulating effeet of lime does not result in rendering available more plant food than the crop can eeonomically use, it is perhaps jus- tifiable, for the plant food is in the soil to be used, but as soon as it goes beyond that point and ceu,ses an exces- sive amount to become available and subject to loss in the drainage water it betomes perniciow3, for the plant food is not in the soil to :be wasted. The production of huger erops by any means except direct fertilization, no matter whether it be by superior tillage, by the growth of more prolific varieties or by the use ofelime, necessitates the use of larger amounts of manure, clover and fertilizer to maintain the balance of income and outgo of plant food, and in this fact lies the truth of the old .saying, "Lime .and lime without manure makes both farm and farmer poor." Lime is not a fertilizer in the commonly ac- cepted sense'as it contains neither nitro- gen, phosphoric acid nor potash, so it naturally follows that dependence upon lime alone anust soon result in a short- age of one or more of these, elements. There are extremely few cases in while it is good practic to use lime ex- cept in connection with other treatment, according to the Indiana Experiment Station. It should be clearly understood that the two principal effects of lime above discuesed are 'operative at the same time, and. that the question of which shall 'be- come dominant ie a matter of soil man- ageraent. The use of the milder forms, ground limestone and air -slaked lime, in connection, with 'plenty of legume crops effect to be ,dominaet, and the destruc- tive effect will be so slight as to be practically negligible. The use of the more caustic forms, quicklime and hy- drated lime, particularly if legumes and manure are neglected, will cause the des- truetive effect to became doniinant, and even. with the use of plenty of legumes and manure it .seems that burned lime is more destruetive than the milder forms. The behavior of crops and the vegeta- tion growing on the land may furnish all the evidence needed. Poor suceess with clover which cannot be explained on the grounds of unfavorable weather, la,ek of plant food or poor water -holding capacity of the soil due to the exhaus- tion of organic matter, and the predence of red. sorrel or dewberries in deese patches, are strong indications of aeid soil. Failure of clover is not in itself a sufficient indication, as there are a var- iety af causes aside fram soil acidity which may .bring about clover failure. The one best way to tell whether or not the soil needs lime is to try it and see, and the place to try it is on the clover crop. A good plan. is to apply ground limestone at the rate of two to per acre, and. harrow in before sowing wheat, and in the spring saw clover as usual, The clover mayee'fail beettuee of shortage of plant food or bad physical eonditiens of the soil even on the limed land, so it is best to use a light appli- cation of manure in connection with the lime on a part of the limed strip. In case there is a stand of clover on both limed and unlimed land, the two areas should be harvested and weighed sep- arately to determine whether or not the lime has made sufficient gain to justify its use.

Two tons per acre of ground limestone extreme CaiROS May require more. Lime can be most enonomicelly applied with one of the special Hine spreaders, of which there are a number on the mar- ket, or with a home-made spreader, which can be made from a pair of old mower wheels and rough lumber, with a little help from the blacksmith. It ean also be applied with the manure spreader, but this practice is not be recommended, as the spreader is too heavy to haul and the lime is hard on the gearing, Spread- ing it by hand is a disagreeable and expeneive job, and is not to be thought of except an a small scale. It makes little difference at what time of year lime is applied, but it should be applied after rather than before plow. ing, so that it will not be buried too deeply. Lime should not be mixecl with either fertilizer or manun, as it may decreaec the availability of phosphates or ca,use a 10Sti of nitrogen, but they may be 'worked into the soil separately without danger of hies. As a matter of econonty in handling it, lime should be appliecl during a sleek season and when the roads are good, t Old Folks' Coughs Permanently Cured The Public is Loud in its Praise of the Modern Direct Briathing'Cu're.

Now is the time to get ready for the season's business. The little details that you attend to now will pay you tenfold during the months of March and April, when the breeder puts his product upon the market. Now is the time to see that your flocks are properly mated, and that every detail of the breeding pen is carefully and cor- rectly carried out. Your Wetness, in order to be success- ful, will have to be built up in a, system- atic manner, and it will have to be one of healthy growth. Selling indiscrimin- ately to one man here and there, and never selling to him again, neither to his friends, will never, never pay you, and has never paid anyone else. There is nothing nieer than the way a fancy' egg fowl business works out on *a profitable basis when engineered along the above linee. Every reorder is just so much vel- vet to the producer, and you will be surprised how your eustomers will stick to you yen'. After year. You certainly would think that they woulki try ceome. one else, by way of variety, but the fact of the matter is they won't, and they cannot be made to change as long as you give them a straight deal every time. The man who buys thoroughbred. poul- try and eggs is the closest stieker_you ever eaw when lie is treated right, be- cause he well knows the da.nger there is in giving orders to strangers whom he does not know. For that reason, exercise every poseible care and judgment to see that you give the man the beet end of the bargain, by adding an extra egg here and there, or else by duplieating an en- tire hatch free of charge where you have reason to believe that your eggs have been at fault. The cost to you. of a duplicate hatch is comparatively small when you consider the immense adver- tising value that you derive therefrom. Buyers nowadays, are not prone to take advantage by saving that a hatch is not satisfactory when it really has been: The fart of the matter is that most people 'who get a poor hatch let the matter drop, and don't even bother to write the shipperregarding the results, be- cause they have eveyy reason to expect that there will be little if anything done for them. For 'that reason, strive your utmost to show your customer that you will give him a square deal. Always bear in mind that trite say- ing of Abraham Lincoln: "You can fool all of the people some of the time—some of them all the time --but you can't fool all of the people all of the time," and you will .find that your road to success will be made considerably shorter and ever so mueli more certain.

The proceeds of these bonds are to be used in still further developing these plants—in. acquiring another long established manufactur- ing plant which has shown. large profits for years—and in purchasing well located timber lands. The Corporation now has a large limit under option containing 1,000,000,- 000 feet of virgin. timber. This latter should largely increase in value in the next few years. All profits beyond bond interest and stock dividends are to be divided equally between the Bondholders and the Shareholders, and whatever profits are thus divided will be in excess of the 750 annual interest on the Bond. These Bonds are amply secured by investments of the Corporation in these manu- facturing plants and in the value of lands, timber and mills which it controls, and will be further secured by the acquisition of other plants and timber limits. The Bonds are offered to the public in denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000, and may be purchased either outright or by means of the periodical payment plan. ln the latter case, an initial payment of 1007o of the face value of the Bond will be required. Bondholders may withdraw all or part of their investments, with interest, at any time after one year on sixty days' notiee. Payments should be made to the National Securities Corporation, Limited, either by cheque or money -order.
