Exeter Times, 1902-10-23, Page 2tE VICE IS INCREASING IN GREAT BRITAIN r;nlrerinoss in . Men and Women, Compared in Period From 1877 to 1899, As Great Britain prospers, drunk- enness increases. A year of high Wages and good trade is also a year. of deep drinking. The your 1899- the latest fox' which we have com- plete statistics for Great Britain— 'was ayear of groat prosperity. It .was a year of unprecedented drunk- enness. Yet to some extent this was foreshadowed by the preceding years. For during the five years from 1892 to 1896 there annually occurred 175,628 prosecutions for drunkenness,. During the next two years they rose to 203,357 per an- num. •Then in 1899 they sprang up to 214,298. Now, the late Sir Andrew Clark stigmatized alcohol as. "tho enemy of the race." Applied to men --po- tential fathers—he regarded the in- crease of drink as alarming ; but applied to women—potential moth- ers—he deplored it as anational disaster. That the vice of drunkenness is on the increase among women is ad- mitted on all hands. Since 1877 the deaths of women from intem- perance have increased from 31 to 40 per cent. Since the same year the ratio to population of such deaths haw increased from 25 to 51, During the period in which the deaths of men from the same cause increased 43 per cent., those of wo- men' have increased no less than 104 per cent. THE GRAVER cr> MEs. As a serious criminal, woman is not comparable to man. Of those, for example, who aro convicted at the assizes and quarter sessions— that is of the graver crimes—wo- men imes—wo- men only form about 11 per cent., and that percentage is decreasing. On the other hand, as a compara- tively petty offender, woman must be taken seriously. The returns of the last few years show a steadily increasing number of female offend- ers, and the great majority of these offences consist of drunkenness or of acts committed when drunk. In the last ten years their number has in- creased 19 per cent. It is obvious, of course, that statistics are not available to prove the increase of drink among women of a superior class, for they drink within doors, and are carefully look- ed after by relatives and attendants whose chief aim is to keep the fact unknown. In addition to this, many Women drink secretly, unknown to their relatives, until they have reached a stage when shame is lost and the veil is Clung aside. Even in the case of the very worst dipso- maniacs, they are either guarded at home by a professional nurse or in- carcerated in retreats under con- ditions of the most rigorous priv- acy. Unless some untoward circum- stance occurs, at no point in their career do they come within the cog. nisance of the police, and conse- quently they are entirely unrepre- sented in the criminal statistics. In order, then, to ascertain the pre - ;valence of drinking among women of this class, recourse must be had to the medical and nursing pro- fsal n e o s. And here there isis a o emphatic evidence of increase in 'drinking among women. 4 ,MURDERS IN AUSTRALIA.

The once popular belief that rhou- teatism'wes: entirely the result of ex- posure to cold or dampness, is now known to bo 'a, mistake, The disease may be aggravated by exposure, but the root of the trouble lies in the blood, and must be treated through it. Liniments avid outward applica- tions never cure, while Dr. Williams' Pink Pills always cure because they make new, rich,: red blood, in which disease finds lodgment impossible. Concerning the use of these pills Mr. A, G. Lacombe, Sorel, Que., says :— "For upwards of five years. I was a victim to the tortures of rheuni,a tisin. At times:. the pains in my knees, shoulders and hip were al- most past endurance. At other times I could not drew myself with- out 'assistance. I tried several re- medies, some of thein very •costly, without getting any more than tem- porary relief at the most, At this juncture a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and spoke so highly of the pills that I decided to try them. Almost from the very first these pills helped me, and by the time I had taken seven or eight boxes, every twinge of rheumatism had disappeared, and I was feeling better that I had for years. I would strongly advise similar sufferers to give Dr, Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, as I am confident they will not only drive away all pains and ache's, but leave you strong, active and happy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest tonic medicine in the world. These pills not only cure rheuma- tism, but all troubles whose origin comes from poor blood or weak nerves, suck as anaemia, eonsumnp- tion, neuralgia, kidney trouble, St. Vitus' dance, partial paralysis and the irregularities which make the lives of so many women a source of misery. Some dealers offer substi- tutes, rind in order to protect your- self you must see that the full name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People" is on the wrapper around every box. Sold by all dealers or sent by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, by writing 'direct to The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co`, Brockville, Ont.

At a Salvation Army meeting, held at West Gunnedah, New South Wales, the other day, an elderly man named Edward Purcell confessed that he had committed three murders In Queensland. Afterwards he re- peated his statement before three witnesses and was then arrested. Purcell declared that 28 years ago while at Adavale in company with zt man. named Burns, he shot a half- caste named John Nicholls, and sub- sequently killed Burns because he geared he might betray him. He al- so shot ono Williams at Bullaroi 10 rears ago. At Dandenong, Victoria, another crime is engaging the attention - of the police. The body of a man 'seamed Sangal, terribly mutilated, wa recovered s recovc ed from a well. Consta- bles found the bedroom which had been occupied by the deceased and his Wife bespattered with blood, and an ineffectual attempt had been Made to remove the stains with wa- ter: David Sangal, the eldest son :of the murdered man, has deposed that Dxt a .certain -Friday night he heard the sound of blows and struggling in his parents' room. His father was calling 'faintly, "Dave, Dave! come to mel" but his mother stood in the doorway, and would' not let him in. The blows were repeated, and then silence followed, until he heard a. sound as of something being dragged out of the room. In the morning his mother told him to get a scrubbing brush and wash some blood stains off the wall and floor and the verandah and the edge of the well. Mrs. Sangal and a Finn named Tisler, an employe of her husband, whom she has accused of the crime, have been arrested on a charge of wilful murder. At Captains Fiat, New 'Soutt ,Wales, the body of a squatter named Milken, who was .found dead last June near a wire fence' with his rifle hanging to it by the trigger•,has been exhumed, as there are strong suspicions of murder.

Recent investigations prove the truth of this saying. As water freezes, so . the impurities are eliminated, and if the ice be taken away before the whole body of wa- ter is frozen, that ice is pure. If the whole of the water freezes, it fol- lows as a matter of course that the impurities must be included. Thus, in pools where the water begins to freeze from the top, the impurities are thrown to the bottom, and the ice taken away from. the upper part of the body of water is pure. The water that still retains the impuri- ties is the last to freeze. Some makers of artificial ice produce it from water that is not pure, and theymake a hole through the outer crust, before the liquid is completely consolidated, so as to allow the dirty portion of the fluid to run out. Of bacilli, it is calculated that ninety per cent. are thrown out in freezing, while nine out of every remaining ten are killed by the pro- cess, and thus rendered innocuous. Most of the remaining one per cent. will die in 24 hours unless the ice be melted. Therefore, there are very few left to work mischief in our in- ternal economy: Freezing is the best filtering process that can be de- vised, Sailors have long told tales of magnetic islands which lure ships on to wreck by affecting their com- passes. Anisland not far away aw Y fromcivilization, near the coast of Europe, and known for centuries to the geographers, has been discovered to have this quality. This is the Island of Boenhoim, which belongs to Denmark, and lies in the Baltic Sea near the shore of Prussia. The power of attraction which comes from, this island alters considerably the reading of compasses on. pass- ing ships. It is in effect a vett magnet, whose influence is percepti- ble for a distance of about 10 miles. A BABY CHANGED, 'he Mother Tolls .low It Was Accomplished. FARMING AS A BUSMEN, SIMPLE SYSTEM OF BOOK- KEEPING NECESSARY. Some .of the Chief Leaks to Be Found on Almost Every. Farm. i ' o d In order to pay, farming sh ul.. be conducted in the Same way as other business enterprises. A suit- able return should be received, not. only for the money invested in the land, stock and implements, but also for the labor and cares 'of manage- ment. 'Every fernier should, by a simple system of hook -keeping keep a careful check .on his receipts and expenditures, so as to know exactly which of his farming operations are yielding him a profit, which are con- ducted ata loss, and which are caus- ing him merely to "mark tune." A little figuring of this sort may re- veal to him. a number of little leaks which -almost imperceptibly drain away the proncs that should reward his labor. In these days of fierce competition, it is not only by keep- ing down the cost of production and preventing ell waste that farming can be made successful. Some sources of loss are here 'given which will readily suggest others. • • LACK OF SYSTEM. One of the chief leaks on many farms is the loss .of time and en- ergy because the -management is not carried outon any definite system. A study of any old andsuccessful business will show that success has been largely due to a methodical and systematic way of doing things. System may be carried too far so as to become ..merely ,mechanical, bet as a general proposition it may be said that after a weir defined plan of action hes been determined on it should be rigidly carried out. As more knowledge is gained. or new ideas acquired, it will be necessary to make changes in the routine, but no •change should be made without duo deliberation. All work should be carefully planned in advance and ell tools• and implements gotten ready so that there may no de- lay when operations actually begin. USE OF TIME 'TABLES. Ali men employed on the farm should have well-defined duties to perform so that their time may be used to the best advantage. A good system provides for the feeding of stock at regular hours each day. When stock are fed and watered at regular hoursthey become accus- tomed to the regularity of feeding, and thrive much wetter than if fed at different hours' on each succeeding day. CARE OF IMPLFMTtNTS. A very common source of loss is found in the neglect of expensive farm implements and tools. These are left lying in the folds where. they have been used, subject to all the inclemencies of the weather, which are more destructive than actual use. A workshop should also be provided in connection 'with the tool -house, so that during rainy - days or other slack periods, im- plements may be painted and neces- sary repairs made. Much time is lost by farmers, during busy sea- sons such as seeding, haying and harvest, because abolt or some other small part has been lost, and a trip to blacksmith shop or foundry to replace ad 'snecessary re 1 c it. This AS waste of valuable time might be prevented by a little forethought or e aminatioir .of the implement before it was required for use. In many cases implements are purchased which the farmer could well do without. UNNECESSARY STOCK. This is another frequent cause of lose. If a farmer has more horses than are required to carry on the work :qf; the farm, he should sell those ,he does not need, if a figure at all reasonable can be obtained. The cow which does not yield en-' ough milk or butter to pay a good profit on hor keep should be dispos- ed of, and her place filled by an- other,—a few weeks' use of• the scales. and Babcock tester will usually fur- nish some surprising results in this direction. FE1*DING OF STOCK. To secure maximum profits • it is necessary that stock should be fed intelligently for the object of view. Ration should be carefully com- pounded in order to secure p e a pro- per o per proportion of albuminoids and carbohydrates, or as it is called, a proper nutritive ratio. Animals should be selected for early maturity and fed so as to be ready for market at an early age. The hearer ma- turity an animal comes, the greater becomes thecost of growth. Again money is ost by failing to provide green crops for feeiiiug during the summer 'droughts incident to this country. Horses in many cases are given till the hay -they care to eat,- a practice not only wasteful, but in- jurious to the animal as well. WASTE OF MANURE. In the older settled portions of Canada the . restoration or main- tenance aintenance of soil fertility is already an important question. How desirable. is it then that all the manure made on the farm should: be sexed, and used in the best possible condition,- without ondition,without lose from leaching, firefang- ing, etc. • INFERIOR SEED, "A Wonderful change," is the ver- dict of a lady correspondent who writes us about her little one. ''I take pleasure," writes Mrs. R. P. Bickford, of Glen Sutton, Que„ "in` certifying to the merits of Baby's Own Tablets, as X have found them a sure and reliable remedy. My baby was troubled with indigestion, and was teething and cross and restless, acid the use of the Tablets made a Wonderful change. I thine the time- ly use of Baby's Own Tablets alight save many a dear little life, and I Would recommend mothers to keep. them in the house." The opinion of this wise mother is echoed by.. other correspondents. Baby's Own Tablets give such ewe- fort .anti relief to a sick baby, they so infallibly produce calm, peaceful sleep, that you would almost think them a narcotic.

A dollar or two . spent for lumber os' nails will often. result in a largo saving of feed and increased comfort to the Stock during the winter months,. Neglect of a leaky roof is often re- sponsible for -`heavy , losses of grain or fodder, and in the timbers of the buildings. Many e. good frame has been ruined by a leaky roof. • LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Nearly all the leaks previously mentioned niay 'be set down to care- lessness, but farmers also•'loso be- cause some of them think that no- thing can be learned from others, and that. a new 'Idea is necessarily nonsense. No matter how gopd a farmer a man may be, lie can still gain ideas from others that will prove of value to him. The expe- rience of the Experiment Stations and of successful farmers should be carefully scanned for " r ointers." How many farmers there are who do not subscribe to a paper devoted to farming ; these men are certainty losing money by false economy. In this age of progress it is ideas that count ; a single idea gained from a paper will often, when put into prac- tice, represent a gain of many times the subscription price. The local paper should also always be sup- ported, and each farmer should do all he can to assist the editor of the agricultural paper and: the local paper to produce as good a sheat as possible, and to extend the circula- tion of each. F. W. HODSON, Live Stock Commissioner. CURING SIMMER, CHEESE. SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS WITH COOLING ROOMS.. Immense Importance of the Cheese Industry to the Do- minion. Canada has begun to produce sum- mer cheese of a quality to meet suc- cessfully the most exacting require- ments of the markets of the United Kingdom and. elsewhere. The modi- fication in the methods' of making and curing will enable the .farmers to obtain about one pound addi- tional of cheese from every hun- dred pounds 'of intik. That repres- ents nearly ten per cent. of increase in quantity. Moreover, the cheese cured iii the new way will command in coming years from one to two cents per pound higher price. On the average that will amount to from ten to fifteen per cent. increase in value per pound. That the United Kingdom appre- ciates Canadian cheese is proved by the fact that while in 1871 $5,471,- 362 worth, and in 1891 $9,481,373, last year's Canada's cheese bill to the Mothorla.nd amounted to $20,- 696,951, 20;696,951, or over $19,000,000 more than thirty years ago, and more than double that of ten years ago. In 1001 Great Britain imported tl total of 289,731,120 pounds •at a cost of $30,806,081. Canada con- tributed of that total 195,926,397 pounds, valued at $20,696,951, or more than two-thirds the total im- ports. - Hitherto the tsupply from _Canada having the finest quality has been of September cheese. There was a good demand for the summer output, but the curing of it at the high temperature of OTuly and August weather gave it A HEATED FLAVOR which was disliked. In samples tested from over thirty factories the cool -cured June and July cheese has. been found to possess the fine, mild flavor and rich body characteristic of the September cheese, while the July cheese cured in the ordinary man- ner was nearly everyinstance ner in ne y strong in flavor and rough in tex- ture. The value of the June and July make of cheese from the cool curing rooms as examined by Prof. P.obortson. was fully one cent per pound higher than their mates cur- ed in the ordinary way. When this. method of curing cheese in cool rooms during summer becomes gen- eral the depressing effects of stocks of heated cheese on the market will be prevented. It ie expected that the finer quality of the summer cheese will increase the consumption so : much thatere another decade closes Oanada will be exporting ful- ly forty million dollars' worth of cheese per annum, realizing all round the top market price obtain- able for this branch of her dairy produce. t. hie the Government illustration curing rooms, of which there are four, a thin coating of wax is put on each choose, Thereby the sur- face is protected from mold; ..•acid shrinkage has been much lose than formerly. In one 'test case the shrinkage of an unwexed cheese in the ordinary room during one month amounted to two pounds four ounces, whereas the shrinkage of an unwaxed Cheese In the Government cool -curing room amounted to one pound twelve ounces; and the shrink- age on a similar cheese which had been coated with wax and put in the Government cool -curing : room was ONLY EIGHT OUNCES, Many of the leading exporters of cheese have cxani.ined the cheese cur- ed in the Government cool -curing rooms.

Mr, Thomas Ballantyne, of Strat- ford said he had examined. the In many eases a. partial or total failure of a certain crop is due to, the purchase of a cheap or inferior grade of seed. Such .seed is usually badly mixed with foreign, seeds, so that the farm becomes ever -run with 'wends which not only replace useful crops, but entail a vast e,moun,t of labor to get rid of, The division of a farm into small or ir- regular fields often provides numer- ous breeding places for weeds in the fence corners, and ether uncultivat- ed h t- ed spots.

He agreed with what Prof:` Robertson said, and hoped such improvements would be made that all cheese would be cured without being heated. Mr. R. W. Steinhoff ' said he also had examined the cheese. He en- dorsod the opinionsof others as to the marked superiority of the cool cured cheese. In the July's he put the difference at fully one and a hair cents per pound. Mr. 1e, A. Simister believed the ob- ject lesson in the proper curing of cheese at a low temperature, in branding, and in handling the cheese had been the greatest ad- vance he had known in the cheese trade for twenty years. •In order that every dairyman may be fully educatedup to this latest phase in dairying improvements, the Department of B.griculture at Otta- wa will publish during the fall and winter months months full informa- tion regarding the methods to be fol- lowed in improving curing rooms at all cheese factories. This will be prepared under the supervision of Mr. J. A. Ruddick, chief of the dairy division, who had the direct oversight of the Government illus- tration curing rooms during tho past summer.
