MOTOR mums AND THE FARM, This is an era of facilities. Man has accomplislaed wonderful thingo in many ways, but none of more import - 'Ince then the conveniences he has supplied the farmer. Originally the automobile was a luxury, today It is a vehicle of necessity. The tractors followed, and now the auto truck. A one-toa truck is capable of cover- ing 18 miles in an hour, while with a horse and wagoo. it is good work to travel four miles In that time. Even a five -ton truck will get over 10 miles in the same time. Arguments in favor ot the auto truck for the farmer are (1) that there Is no "baggage smashing," the goods are not re -handled while en route, and, in consequence, Arrive at deetina- tion in a better condition.

Queer Tail of a Bird. Signal officer of the birds' army corps is the racket tailed humming bird. Fin* his duties nature has equipped him with a pair of purple flags fashioned out of two long and peculiar tail feathers. He wigwags his signals from one tree to another, issues his challenges to battle and courts Ms mate. When he's not sig- naling he's sipping honey from the flowers and trying to keep his tail from entangling itself in the briars. He's a midget of me South Ameri- can mountains. He has silent wings, which he operates at lightning speed. His tail is a combination of two, wire- like handles, with a purple tuft of feathers at the end of each. He creases them near the middle, and sometimes he brings the pair of "rackets" at the end to his head, as though trying to fan himself. The male birds have a eort of love dance which they engage in during the mating season. Then they play all sorts of tricks with the rackets. — Philadelphia North American. • Admiral Jellicoe looks for Canadians The Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve Overseas Division will enrol 2000 men of good character and good physique for immediate service overseas, in tho British Navy.

It is claimed by a number of experi- ment statione that salt, to a great ex- tent, will replace potash. Some au- thorities, however, are not sure of this under all conditions and in all types of soil. The Atlantic County (N. J.) farm demonstrator advises going easy on salt until results are proved. Several reports from Monmouth and Mercer counties (N. J.) say that salt was; a benefit to the potato crop, giv- ing the foliage a lighted green color and an increased yield.

ART OF SAVING. It's Hard to Learn, but Spending Comes Easy. "It is easy enough to makemoney," eaid a business man the other clay. "The hard thing. to learn is how to save and how‘to spend it. The first year I was married 'I wits earning three thousand,' last year I peeled down four, and this year I am getting away with five. As I've said, it's easy enough to make money—any man with average Intelligente can do it— but how in the world are you going to save it? It don't seem to be getting any more pleasure or comfert foe the five thousand than I did for three. I ara certain I don't put away any more than I did on the smaller salary, and the question that stumps me is, Where does the money go? There is certainly a leak somewhere, The whole trouble lies in the fact that I don't know how to spend it." This situation is one that many a family faces. All may not be in cir- cumstances as comfortable as thee° of the man Mentioned above, but the situation is praetically the same. Family thrift is ahnost an unknown quantity in the average American household. Our Men are famous for their generosity and most of their wiveci run their households on the seine generous scale.

My husband once cured himself of a frightful attack of lum- bago by Nerviline, and for a hundred ailments that turn up in a large family Nerviline is by far the best thing to have about you." WHEN WORK IS PLAY. The Secret of Contentment is Found in Proper Employment. A philosopher once said that "no man properly employed was ever mis- erable." And a more truthful state- ment was never made. To be properly employed one must be engaged in a business in which he has faith and confidence and for which he bas respect. If he doubts tho legiti: macy of the business. ef he must lesort to practices which he feels are questionable, if he isn't proud of his occupation, he is not properly immloy- ed. If the work he is given to .per- form palla upon, him, if he feels that he ought to be doing something else, it he envies the other employee his place in the shop or factory, then tho work deadens and destroys, and misery follows. The writers got things balled up alien they talked about work and play, Too great a distinction 1,Nas drawn. Play was pictured as some- thing that gave happipess and work as something which one performed only because he was hungry. The truth it, it is all play or ought to be, for the man who is properly employed is only engaged In playing. Ho gets as much delight from It as he formerly got from the childish games or should. Certainly there can be no misery where a man has found his work. a- • a A TALK ON RHEUMATISM Telling How to Actually Cure This Common and Painful Comedy. This article is for the man or wo- man who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured, not merely re- lieved—but actually cured. The most the rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the tender, ach- ing joint, is a little relief. No lotion or liniment over did or can make a Qure. The rheumatic poison is root- ed in the blood. Therefore rheumatism can.only be cured when this poisonous acid is driven out of the blood. Any doctor will tell you this is true. If you want something that will go right to the root of tho trouble in the blood take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, They make new, rich blood; which drives out the poisonous acid and cures rheu- matism to stay cured. The truth of these etatements has been proved in thousands of cases throughout Can- ada, and the following cure is a strik- ing instance. Mr, Henry Smith, St. Jerome, Que., says: "For upwards of a year I was a victim of rheumatism in a most painful forni. The trouble was located in my legs and for a long time I was so bad that I could not walk The sufferings whieh I en- dured can only be imagined by those who have been similarly afflicted.Doe- tore' treatments did not help me and then I began trying other remedies, but with no better results.

Natu- rally, Lieut. -- got away as last as Ile could. Did he? Read this: . "He dived in among them, firing one drum. The formation was broken. Lieut. — then got under the itear- est 'machine and fired one drum at fifteen yards under the pilot's goat, causing the machine to plunge to earth southeast of Bapaume. Shortly atter- wards some more hostile aeroplanes came up in formation. Lieut. --- attacked one, which weat down and . tended in a gap between two a oods. Several other machines were engaged with indecisive results, and, having expended all his ammunition, Lieut. -- returned." It was careless of Lieut. — not to bave more ammunition about aim; but what is one to acre of n man like this, ' who spends a happy day in tackling, first, twelve enemy machines, and -then "several" more, diving into them like a hawk into a flight of pigeons, and simply "shooing" them all over the sky? And that same evening anothe: lieu- tenant took a hand in the game of fluttering Volscians. The covey a Well be ran into had only eight birds.

Another day two officers "encoun- tered six enemy machines near Cain- bral." Then follows; "While he was diving at the hostile Patrol leader, three hostile machines dived on the tail of Lieut. A.'s ma- chine. One of the enemy maehines was engaged by another pilot, while Lieut. B. engaged another and fired two and a WE drums into it as it passed across the tail of his machine. Thisenemy machine made a vertical dive with a stream of smoke pouring out- behind. Lieut. A. turned and orened fire on the thirst machine with his front gun, firing ebout twenty rounds at it. The eilot turned and got under the tail, and Lieut. A. also turned and fired another twenty rounds into it, after which it was seen to dive vertically out of control. and to turn on its back. The remaining hostile machinee dispersed :rid were seen to land west of Gambrel." On another occasion one of our ma- cbines wile attacked by four of the enemy, but, "turning sharpre, emptied one drum into the nearest at twenty yards' range," when the enemy turned on its side and fell, The pilot then attacked another machine, which was just above him, firing a drum and a half at close range.
