The Wingham Times, 1915-12-30, Page 3December 3oth, 1915 Miss Evelena M. Risser, Dublin Shore, Lunenburg, N.S., writes :—"I suffered from severe headaches for two years. In fact, I had headaches day and night. My appetite was very poor and I frequently had pains in the hack. After using a few boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food the headaches disappeared, appetite improved and I gained in health and strength. I am very thankful for the benefit obtained from the use of Dr, Chase's Nerve Food, for I am well again after two years of misery." The object of pain seems to be to give warning that something is wrong in the human system. For this reason, when you have a headache, for instance, you should honestly seek for the cause. Headache is not a disease in itself, but rather a symptom. If you find other indi cations that the nervous system is exhausted if you are restless, nervous, sleepless and irritable—you may rightly suppose that to be the cause of the headache. The headache warns you that with neglect of the nervous' system you later expect nervous prostration, locomotor ataxia, or some form of paralysis. Wisdom suggests the use of such treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to build up the system, and thereby remove the cause of the headache, as well as prevent more serious troubles. The use of headache powders is not only a dangerous practice, but the shock to the system of drugs which are so powerful and poisonous as to immediately stop pain is most harmful. The relief is merely temporary, and with this danger signal removed the disease which caused the headache continues to develop until results are serious. The moral is, when you have headaches or pain of any kind look for the cause and remove it. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is not intended as a mere relief for headache. It cures by supplying the ingredients from which nature rebuilds and 1;'evitalizes the wasted nerve cells. Some patience is required for this reconstructive process, but the results are wonderfully satisfying, because they are both thorough and lasting. If you would be freed from headaches, as was the writer of the letter quoted above, put Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to the test. Working, as it does, hand in hand with Nature, it can no more fail than can other of Nature's laws. 50 cents a box, all dealers, or Edman - son, Bates & Co., Ltd., Toronto.

FALL -BORN CALF IS BEST Why it is that a calf under six months will not do well on pasture, no matter how good the pasture, we cannot say, but it is a fact. We can discontinue the feeding of skim -milk at three months and put a calf on dry feed (bay and gram) and it will do well, but turn the same calf out to pasture and it will do poorly. The past season has been quite favourable for pasture and yearlings and two -year-olds have done well, but the Spring calf that was turned to pasture in June comes in this Fall from pasture not much larger than when turned out. Where dairying is combined with considerable grain raising it will be found most profitable to have the calves born in the Fall. And this should remind us that for Fall calves the breeding season commences in December. Have you a sire that will add improvement to the herd? I would not use a sire that was not from a cow that could produce 300 pounds of butter fat in a year. We find in the breeding of dairy stock that heifers take after the mother of their sire more than they do after their own mothers. See that the dairy sire you use is from from a good dairy cow. While the Fall calf has a better chance in the barn than the Spring calf has in the pasture, we should re- membt r that conditions must be right in the barn if the Fall calf is to come put in the Spring in good shape. A 4,.. little skim -milk, a little grain, a little good clover hay and a dry calf pen, and you have the proper conditions for the growing of a good calf. Whole oats is a good grain feed for calves, Start feeding it when the calf is a week old. Oil meal or flax seed meal is fine, but you can raise a first class calf with just the feeds produced on the farm or the feeds that can be grown on the farm. Six quarts of 41/4 skim -milk a day and a pound of oats and what clover hay the calf will eat, and you have a ration that is all right. Keep the pen clean and well bedded and the calf pails clean and you will have good calves when Spring comes. ---The Farmer, St, Paul, Minn.

LOCAL OPTION To the Editor: — The good effects of Local Option in Canada are so wonderful that if they were thoroughly understood people would rise in a great wave of rebellion against the enormous burden of the liquor traffic, We don't need to de- pend on any man's say so or the state- ment of persons who might be preju- diced. The last census report 1912 gives facts that would convince any one whose mini is open to conviction. That report gives the following num- ber of convictions for crime per ten thousand population in each Province. Prince Edward Island 1.1, New Bruns- wick 8.8, Nova Scotia 14.8, Ontario 25.5, Manitoba 27.9, Alberta 40.6, Brit- ish Columbia 42.3. These figures show that Alberta and British Columbia which had no local option had nearly forty times as much crime as Prince Edward Island which had no licenses and over eleven times as much crime as New Brunswick, our next driest Province. More notable still is the fact that the number of convictions for crime in each Province are in almost exactly inverse proportion to the amount of Local Option. The more Local Option the less crime, the less Local Option the more crime. Finally they prove conclusively that the cause of nearly all the crime is drink. These arelstartling facts but there are many others which show what fools and blind we have been to submit to be bossed by this tyrant that defies all governments and has shown its willing- ness to sell the country to the Germans rather than give up their gains. Few seem to understand the immeni e burden of taxation that is imposed cn us by this brutal business. It has re cently been shown that the taxes col- lected in the nine wettest States are sixty per cent. higher than in the eight prohibition States.

There may be only a very slight pain or an almost unbearable agony; and the symptom may be of little or no signifi- cance, the result, for example, pf a passing indigestion, or it may indicate a disease of most serious character, In trying to relieve the pain, the first thing to do is to ascertain the cause. The sufferer should observe whether the pain is continuous or whether it comes and goes, and in therlatter case, whether the attacks recur regularly and whether they return at any particular time of day. Continuous headache is often owing to an organic disease within the skull, —perhaps an abscess or a tumor pres- sing on the brain,—or, more commonly, to an infiltration of the brain mem- branes that is the result of a disorder of the blood. A headache of the latter origin is often much more severe at night, and either absent or endurable during the day. Persistent headache is often present in kidney disease or in arteriosclerosis. In arteriosclerosis the headache, if not constant, often occurs when the patient wakes in the morning, and is accom- panied by cramps in the calves of the legs and by dizziness. Periodical headaches are sometimes neuralgic or of nervous origin,—as in megrim or sick ;,headache,—sometimes malarial, and perhaps evenKmct•e fre- quently still thee:result of eyestrain. Ile adaches from eyestrain are likely to come on toward the end of the day, or at night, especially after much reading, sightseeing, or a visit to the "movies." In fact, headaches that come on late in the day, intpeople who have not been fitted to glasses, especially if the eyes res, the same time look tired or reddened, or feel as if a hair or a; grain of sand hod got into them, may be almost cer- tainly Iaid toeyestrain. illeadache islmost common in middle age, and if it occurs often in a ichildor in a person over sixty, it is a sign that something is wrong.

Cultivated men and women have al- ways good books among their most valued possessions, and one cannot be- lieve that this taste can be sacrificed without definite loss to our civilization. The spoken word can never supplant the n'ritten word, uud in fact the pres- ent tendency is all toward substituting print for speech. Nor can reading in publlc°places take the place of reading one's own books in the quiet of one's home.

RAISING EGG OUTPUT. Barred Rocks Away Ahead Among "Bred to Lay" Hens. "We chose Barred Rocks for our experimental work simply because our correspondents in the last six years have demandedmore Barred Rock stock thanall other breeds and varieties put together," said R. R. Graham, professor of poultry at the Ontario Agricultural College. "Ap- parently this variety is the most popular one in Ontario to -day. The people had them before we started to improve this breed, and they wanted more. It was easier to improve them with the aid of the Ontario poultry- men than to start with a new variety. Even before the bred -to -lay bird was produced Barred Rocks were fairly satisfactory. However, ultimately it is the attain, not the breed, that cots nts. "This year," continued the profes- sor, "we distributed 16,000 eggs, principally through the schools. There will be so many roosters raised that the effect will be felt all over the Province. Some hens are born to lay heavily; most of them, perhaps, are not. It is the male that controls the egg -laying characteristics. Mate a rooster from an egg -laying strain to a hen that scarcely lays a dozen a year, and the pullets of the first gen- eration produced will be good layers. Ther'efor'e, if we can distribute roost- ers through the country every spring the improvement in Ontario's egg production will be very marked." "How do you propose to do this?" "The average District Representative takes 100 dozen eggs to distribute through the schools in his county. These eggs are hatched by the chil- dren, who raise the chicks, show the best at the rural fairs, sell the sur- plus roosters, and generally get the whole community interested. There is a great deal of rough handling by this method, and even now we are unable to supply the demand for eggs. "For these reasons we are estab- lishing breeding stations, where it is possible, in every school section. To accomplish this we get a farmer who is interested in chickens, clean out his old stock, and supply him with eggs. We never let him use his own males, but supply him from the col- lege. We give him three and a half cents apiece for all the eggs he can produce during the first month of the breeding season. The farmer gets a good price for his batching eggs, be- sides having the advantage of high - laying hens. The best cockerels are usually bought by us, sorted out, and the choicest ones used. "In this manner," concluded Prof. Graham, "we will be able to produce an enormous nun: ber of hatchable eggs each year to supply the whole Province with a bird bred for utility, a pullet to lay eggs, and a cockerel to make a dinner." Farm Gate. Practical farm gates are always worth a second thought. Here is one recently patented. There are a keep- er post and a pair of spaced diagon- ally offset posts, the gate being mounted in the space between the posts. Brackets connecting the posts are disposed at the ends and centres of the lengths of the posts, a stirrup being pivoted to the central bracket between the ends of this and strad- dling one of the gate rails and havieig a roller connected at its free end, on which the gate rail rides, to support the gate against downward move- ment. An upper and a lower bar are used as a. hanger for the gate, this having a roller at the front end, which rides on the rail. The two pivotal points of hanger and the pivotal point of the stirrup are dis- posed in the same vertical plane.— Farming Business. Testing Seed Wheat. It is a very simple matter to test Seed wheat. Take an ordinary piece of blotting paper, put it on a plate, fold it over like a book, wet it and put in be- tween the folds 100 seeds. Cover over with another plate for about three days, being careful to always keep it wet. At the end of six or seven days you can tell just what pereentage will grow and just how much is weak and dead. Page I A CHINESE JACOB. His Wily Sehsms by Whitah. Helen Pi Rsaohed the Throne.

It huppenede however, that the latter'/ tutor. Teao Chenyung, knew of the emperor'a pre- dilection and. destriug to eubance hist own position, cast about for tome means of inducing the sovereign to change his mind and confer the sue, cession upon bis pupil. The emperor, following the dynastic[ tradition. had given orders one dao that Ids sons should go hunting in the southern park. Etiquette required that a prince who had not completed LIS studies should ask his tutor for permis- sion to absent himself for the day. IIsien Feng therefore attended at the lecture room in the palace and found his tutor there alone. The prince went up and. making the bow that ceremony, requires, asked for leave. Tsao asked for what purpose. and he answered: "The emperor wishes me to take ea day's shooting." Tsao whispered to him: "Alm (the Manchu word used be speaking of or addressing prineesl, meaning, literally, elder brother), take my advice: When you reach the parks sit you and watch the others shooting. Do not fire a shot and give orders tai your huntsmen not to set any traps. if the emperor asks you for your reaso tell him that at this spring season i is not tight to take fife because both) birds and beasts have their young to take care of, and such slaughter is se violation of natural harmony.

When the princes returned in the evening and reported to their father only Mien Feng .had an empty bag. To Tao Kuanb s questions he replied exactly as his tutor had told him to do. The emperor was delighted and said, "This is the conduct of a superior man," and from that day he decided to make him his heir.

The lines "Hush—a voice from far away;" "Lis- ten and learn," it seems to say; "All the tomorrows shall be as today!" -The cord is frayed, the cruse is dry; the link must break and the lump must die," I sang throughout pianissimo, with only the two slight crescendos that he had marked in the music. Stopping suddenly at the end of those phrases, Tosti kissed me and exclaim- ed, "That is the way I heard it!" I knew what he meant. The desire prompted by imagination in its compos- ing had been realized. And I was very, happy. — Mme. Melba in Woman's Home Companion. Turn the Children Loose. Turn them loose.
