Worthy of the world's
best music
To most of us the chance to hear human playing
of good music comes infrequently. Only in the
great cities are the appetites of the music -hungry
satisfied. Even then one can hear but a small
part of all the worth while concerts.
Fortunately for those who love the masters of the past, and who
'have the judgment to recognize in present day composers the
masters of the future, there is the Edison
Phonograph, It is worthy of Wagner, of 1
Bach, of Puccini. The clear, sweet tone,
remarkable in its purity, is simply a transla- S- W`r�
tion of human music into your own home.
Unless you have heard the newest Edisons,
you have no conception of their wonderful
mellow quality. You never realized that
such beauty could be applied to sound.
Ask your Edison dealer to play one of
the Blue Amberol Records—then you will
know that the whole world of good music
—past and present—is open to you.

Letter Front California,
To the le'l for
Dear Friend :,r Agreeably to my
promise, I drop you herewtth a few
lines from luuther•n California, from
which you may select such paragraphs.
as yutl judge will be of interest to
your readers. The Advance reaches
as regularly and keeps us in touch
with the duingein, our former home
town,
Our bungalow is completed and we
are now occupying it, and hope soon
to get stented once more ; some of our
goods packed last May were not open-
ed until Nov, 10 The writer has hed
a times time 'fur the past three months,
overseeing the building of our Oali•
fornia buugalow, erecting poultry
houses, grading around the house, and
getting the garden started, we have
put in ten hours a day faithful work
in the "out-of-doors." Was I tired?
Yes, rather; but always ready for
meals and sleep well, The insomnia
that troubled the ex -editor is dis-
appearing, and the healthful atmos-
phere of the fuot•hills is delightful.
Mrs. Hall is also better than she was,
though not altogether free from the
asthma. The rest of the family are
well. The J. Herbert Hall Co, has
a magnificent etore in their new
location, and on Saturday last held
their formai "opening". Several thou-
sand people visited the store, to hear
the orchestra., look at the immense
stock tastefully arranged, and see the
floral decorations sent by wholesale
Arms in New York, Sets 1't•anol ec',
and other places. The other jewellers
of the city sent a pretty decoration
inscribed "Success." Walter T. Hall
is Secretary -Treasurer of the Co ,
while Earl is making himself useful in
many•ways as he begins to climb the
ladder of business in a large city.
Pardon the writer Mr. Editor for so
touch of personal reference, but pos.
sibly the many readers of the Advance
may be interested in knowing how we
are situated. Our bungalow has seven
rooms, spacious porches ; bookcases,
buffet, linen and kitchen cupboards
are all "built-in", saving the purchase
of mach furniture. We have phone,
mail and daily paper delivery, electric
light, but as yet have not the con-
venience of city gas. For 000kiog
pu^poses, we u -e distillate, which after
it has burned a couple of nnintees
emits a pretty, hot blue fl tme. We
like it very much. It costs seven (7)
cents a gallon delivered in 59 gallon
lots. That goantit.y will last an ordin-
ary family from four to six week,
according to the cooking recs.-deed, so
tbat it is a cheap fuel, Electric light,
ie five cents per kilu:v.>,tt, from either
the L•lison or the City plant, which 1-
cheap light, and no charge for metre.
When a bulbegoes "dead", the city
will replace it on presentation of the
useless one. We found some eu aLy.
pais trees on our ranch and these
furnish ue with winter's wool for
heating stove and fireplace. So we
are very comfortable and surrounded
with convenience"'.
Our ranch of orange, apricots and
peaches comprises about seven acres,
situated just at the city limits. It is
composed of 32 lots, two of which are
within the` city boundaries, and we
are about 2e miles from the civic
'centre, with car•line 20 minute service
three blocks distant. O.1 one side of
our ranch •t beautifully paved street
terminate, and at the other end, the
country 1aselevard (a, magnificent road*
way) ps ses. It is daily thronged with
aatorn `tiles. 0 re evening, I counted
twet•ty within the length of a block.
W 'see located near the mountains,.
r just across the "Arroyo" (meaning
1 ,r river -bed) is one range, probably
u tlf•a-mile to the west. To the north,
is another range from one to two
miles distant, and between these lies
rhe beautiful La Canada valley (accent
on the "ad" in Canada). To the south
east lies the flourishing city of Pasts
dena, and beyond. that, Les Angeles
and the Pacific ocean. Our ranch is
on the records as "Vista. Grand" mean-
ing "grand view", Mount Leese with
its Observatory and incline railway i'
clearly, visible, and sorne nights we
come within sweep of its powerful
search -light.
Even at the risk of wearying your
typesetters and readers, I may Bay
that although we have only made our
tlrst attempt at gardening in this
Ilimate,'where operations differ from
eastern methods, we are getting on
fairly well. We are now using green
onions, radishes, lettuce, etc , and our
garden peas are very promising

naturally tend in this direction,

For the information of your readere,
here are a few facts gleaned from
Crest -worthy sources, that show the
wonderful productiveness of Southern
California. The, citrus trees are -

leaves) are peach, pear, apples, etc,
The country of San Bernardino alone
bast 77,379 acres of fruit•bearing trees;
of these, 43,355 acres are citrus trees.
For the season °commencing Nov. 1, 40-
000 cars of deciduous fruits were shipp-
ed and the deciduous fruit crop of the
whole' State is valued at $18,000,000.
From Diouba, in the San Joaquin val-
ley, in Sept. fast, there were shipped •
10,781 tone of raisins, and the estimat-
ed ehipments for October were 25,000
tons. Of walnuts, the State Grower's
Association place the crop at $3,000,000
At Brawley, in the Imperial Valley,
the honey shipped is placed at 3,040
carloads.
I wish I could picture to you, Mr,
Editor, some of California's gorgeous
sun sets', but it would require an artist
to depict them, and a more gifted pen
than mine to describe them, so I will
not attempt the impossible.
Among the many adyentages cf
California aro the"°splendid° country'
roads. , They are really a necessity, as
automobile travel is enormous, For
hundreds pf miles one may travel on
them. Tile State, or at least, this por-
tion of it, is a net -work of electric
roads,
One day recently, just as the writer
was clothed in his working suit, and
scarcely "presentable," we noticed an
auto coming up the lane to our bunga-
low. We were delighted to welcome
Dc. and Mrs. Towler and Miss Lou
Lloyd, formerly of Wingham. They
had come from Los Angeles to call on
us and extend an invitation for us to
visit them at an early date. All are
looking well, and gave us a cordial
welcome to their sunny clime.
Now ) must really "put on the:
brakes." We have not forgotten our
farmer pleasant association r in the
good Town of ,Wingham, and the
rainy friendships formed there, We
regret to note the passing away of
former acqu tintancea, bat the "It 'ap-

Wanted A Certain shade Of Blue.
The Crate Fattening of PoultrY.
Practical experience has shows" that
crate feedlog to not only a very satire
factory but also an economical method
of fattening poultry. The saving in
the amount of feed rtquired to pro-
duce one pound of gaits is write mark-
ed, and the feeder is enabled to obeerve
to greater advantage the progress
being made by individual birds. lie
can also, if necessary curtail the dura-
tion of the feeding period in the case
of birds which have attained their
maxiume weight and ate ready to be
pieced in the flniething crate.
Crate fattening cannot with Euceets
be carried . on in a haphazard way.
The feeder requires to understand the
principles of what he is at and to give
the necessary attention to the details
of his work. In order to teach the
proper method of feeding poultry in
crates the Life Stock Commissioner at
Ottawa has had prepared a seasonable
illustrated pamphlet on the subject

women who feel as though they could
hardly drag about, should profit by
Mrs. Drill's experience.
She says: "I was in a very weak,
run-down condition, Life was not
worth living, I could not sleep, was
very nervous, stomach had, and wars
not able to work.
"I consulted with one or two Bhp:
eicians, without benefit. I read of
Vinol helping some one in a similar
condition so I began to take it, and it
simply did wonders for nte. I gained
ins weight and I am now in better
health and stronger than ever. I can
not find words enough to praise
Vinol,"—Mrs, W. H. Brill, Racine, Wis.
Thousands of women and men who
were formerly weak and sickly owe
their present rugged health to the
wonderful strength creating effects of
Vinol. We guarantee Vinol to build
you up and make you strong. If it
does not we give bank your money.
