As The cruet
Of a Neglected Cold
He Contracted
SEVERE BRONCHIAL TROUBLE.
Mr. W. 'r..#f.11en, XIalifax, N.S., writes:
"I feel that 1 would be doing you and
your great remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup, a gross injustice if X did not
write and let you know the wonderful
results that I have obtained from its
use.
"Last spring I happened to contract a
sold. Of . course, this is a common oe-
eurence, and I did not take any particu-
lar notice of it at the time. However, it
did not break up as quickly as colds
generally did with me, so after two weeks,
and no sign of improvement, I began
to get alarmed, and went to my local
physician who informed me that I had
contracted severe bronchial trouble as a
result of neglecting my cold. He pre-
scribed some medicine for me, which I
took for about two weeks without any
sign of improvement. I was getting
pretty much discouraged by then, but
one day a friend happened to be in to
whom I was relating my trouble, and he
advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup, saying that he had obtained
very beneficial results from its use in
a similar case. I took his advice and
procured several bottles from my drug-
gist. After taking it, according to direc-
tions, for about two days, I noticed a
decided improvement, and from that
day on 1 began to get better, and in ten
days I was in my usual health. I con-
sider this an excellent showing for your
remedy, and can highly recommend it to
anyone afflicted as I was. 1 shall always
put in a good word for it whenever the
opportunity offers itself."
You can procure Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup from any druggist or dealer.

Bacon Dressing.—Cut the bacon
in small bits, plane it in a frying
pan, fry out the fat and brown the
bacon. To every fourth cup of
dripping add two tablespoons
vinegar, one teaspoon salt, two
teaspoons sugar, and one-fourth
teaspoon peppier. If the vinegar is
very strong dilute it with water.
The amount of seasoning used will
depend largely upon the ingre-
dients in the salad. The dressing
is used while hot, and will wilt the
dandelions, lettuce, and water-
cress, and other greens over which
it is poured.. A potato salad mixed
with this dressing is delicious.

Tips Worth Knowing.
I find the following a quick and
easy away in which to clean and
polish furniture and paintwork.
Put a tablespoonful of vinegar in
a basin of hot, not too hot, water.
Well wipe the furniture with the
liquid and leave to dry:
A brilliant polish results, with-
out any of that hard rubbing us-
ually necessary.
Add a little ammonia to the wa-
ter in which you wash your silver
and glass- ware. It brightens both
of them wonderfully.
And when you are laying away
your silver in the drawer or case,
don't forget to place therein a
piece of gum camphor. It keeps
the goods bright such a long time,
Do you want to fireproof your
muslin or casement curtains? Then
put an ounce of alum in the last
rinsing water. This applies also
to children's clothes.
It's tantalising to go into a room
at night and not be .able to lay
your hand on the matches. In
each room have matches attached
to -a bracket by islipping a yard of
narrow ribbon—to match the wall-
paper—through the cover of the
match -box, and tying the ends
neatly to the bracket.

them, when hot, upon a piece of

The Farm Automobile
t'lr 4 eeee a: •cam es vote 'meetesesaal
The cry is insistent for better
roads in country districts. This has
been brought about to some extent
since the advent of automobiles,
erecting sentiment in that direc-
tion on the part of taxpayers. But
men and women alike, practically
everywhere, hold that one of the
greatest services or public im-
provements is in the way of a sys-
tematic bettering of country roads.
This was brought out, particularly
from the standpoint of the home,
in a recent investigation made ,by
the department of agriculture,
seeking particularly to determine
the social and labor needs of farm
women.
A brief abstract of the report
shows the keen interest m beater
thoroughfares, and incidentally the
increasing use of automobiles.
Some go so far as to express the
opinion that in road building the
requirements of automobilists are
considered before the business and
social needs of the farm, this work-
ing to the harm of short stretches
of side roads.
Some of the testimony shows
that due to the lack of considera-
tion of chauffeurs, who fail to stop
their machines at proper times, the
increase in automobiles has made it
hazardous or dangerous for wo-
men to do much driving on many
country roads. One writer sug-
gests a federal law requiring the
driver of an automobile to stop
his machine on signal.
One contributor to the investiga-
tion says where the country= roads
have not been improved the women
are practically shut in during the
cold months, at a turns when high-
ways are so rough or mud so deep
the popular priced automobiles so
generally used by farmers and their
wives, cannot be satisfactorily
operated. "Nothing would bene-
fit the women on the farms as much
as to improve the country roads." 1
Ono woman advocates a system of
country roads which will 'enable the
farm woman to transport her pro-
duce to a. market in the ].east pos-
sible time also that they may
drive a vehicle or automobile to
and from .church without overdoing
themselves in accomplishing a,
long, tiresome journey that should
be made in one quarter the time.
No Cause to Interfere.
The following incident, which the
Philadelphia Record relates, roust
have occurred before the outbreak
of the present war, for landlub-
bers as well as waterside charac-
ters are by this time pretty famil-
iar with the appearance of the sub-
marine.
A steam launch that belonged to
a British battleship recently
sprang a leak while crossing from
Portsmouth, and rapidly sank,
Nearby an. old `salt' was leisurely
rowing a boat, but he made no 'at-
tempt to come to the rescue. The
launch's crew managed to swim to
the boat, and as they scrambled in,
one of them said to the boatman :
"Why on earth didn't. you give
us a hand? Didn't yon see we
were sinking?'
"Lor' bless yer," said the boat-
man stolidly, "I thought yer craft
was one o' those blessed auhmar-

THE SUNDAY SCUO L STUDY
INTP,RRNA.'FION 1 LESSON,
20.
Lesson XI1<..--A Prayer for the
Tempted ('Temperance Lesson).
Psa. 141. G.T.---Psa. 141.0.
L The Cry to God (Verges 1-4).
Verse 1. I have called upon thee
--This is a frequent introduction to
a. psalm of complaint and desire for
deliverance,
;.s incense before thee . , • as
the evening sacrifice—These are ex-
pressions from the priestly ritual.
The psalmist knew what worship
meant. He wanted his prayer and
the lifting up of his hands to have
all the authority and force of an
appointed religious service.
Incense was burnt every morning
and evet,ing (see Exod, 30. 7, 8),
and sacrifice was made both in the
morning and evening (Exod, 29.
39). The psalmist's prayer was to
be continual, not an impulse to
sporadic bursts of supplication.
And it Was to be a tribute of honor
and praise. As the road over
which the king was to pass, accor-
ding to Oriental custom, was scent-
ed with sweet perfume, so the God
of heaven was to be adored in the
presence of pleasant odors.
3. Set a watch—However much
one might determine to bridle (or
muzzle, Psa. 39. 1) the - mouth,
there was still danger of sinning
with the tongue. Only as God is
.the keeper, and sets a sentry to
guard• the lips, is the mouth of a
man safe.
4. Incline not my heart — So
afraid is the psalmist of becoming
affected with the disease of an -
another's iniquity that it seems as
though he thought God might un-
consciously incline him to evil
deeds. His prayer, however, is a
positive declaritti•cin that he will
not let the On of another eontami-
nate him.
II. C}iusniul; by' the Righteous
(Verses 5-7).
5. Let theterighteous smite me—
The psalmist would rather be in
the presence of the righteous,
though they smite and chastise
him, than in the presence of the
wicked, though they pet and cajole
him. There is the further thought
that honest criticism of a just and
purt man is a blessing to be covet-
ed, a kindness and as oil upon the
head. (See Psa. 23. 5; 133. 2.)
Even in their wickedness—The
psalmist unconsciously turns from
the thought of ,the righteous smit-
ing him to the buffeting of the
wicked. This idea was so dominant
in his mind that he does not speak
specifically of the "unrighteous" in
their wickedness, but simply as-
sumes that whoever in wickedness
could do anything would be essen-
tially wicked. He does not mean
that the righteous could be wicked;
the pronoun "their" does not refer
to "the righteous" mentioned in
the first part of the verse; it refers
to the "wicked" whom he suppos-
es, in contradistinction to the
righteous, would attempt to make
him cease praying.
6. Their judges are thrown down
—This verse is very obscure. Per-
haps the reference is to the leaders
of Absalom's revolt, who are sup-
posed to have thrown down the
rocks by the people whom they
misled. These latter, after having
been deceived b the fake leaders,
heard David's words as "sweet
morsels."
7. Our bones are scattered—See
Psa. 53. 5. Similar expressions in
the Psalter are used of the enemy,
or of those who put themselves out
of harmony with God. So here
"our bones" evidently has refer-
ence to the wicked. Their punish-
ment comes s•o swift and sure that
they themselves cry out, "Our
bones are scattered," etc. They
are .of no more consequence than
the clods which, a plower leaves be-
hind him in the furrow,

as clear as verses one to four .and
eight to tea. "The stream [in
verses five to seven] has been
foaming among rocks in a gorge,
but [in verses eight to ten] it has

anzoo•th
In thee do I take refuge—The
honest soul takes refuge in the Al-
mighty : it is confident that harm
will remain far off.
The snares and gins which one
sets for another:' are always sure to
cause one's own undoing. The
Psalms are full of such expressions,
showing that the writers had dis»
cerned a never. -failing law of hu-
man life. -

ORGANIZING THE

tel
Somebody has sante that the ad-
dition of a bathroom to the farm
home will do more in way of coun-
try life enrichment, than, any other
;atingle factor, This simply 'means
that the farmer, in thinking abotit'�
th,e comfort of his family, brings'

that have proved to be necessities
in city homes. In the past too•
much attention has been paid to.
production, Country life needsor-
ganizatioxi to get a square deal.
Goveenment officials have 1vdY1r-
ed out a method whereby every ru
ral community may.pt together
looking toward practical cu opera-
tion in business and social affairs.
It is suggested that five :committees
be appointed in every rural dis-•
trice to deal with the business in-
terest of the community—these
communities to consist of one on
farm production, Dile on market-
ing, one ;on securing farm supplies,
one on farm finance and account-
ing and one on transportation. Simi-
larly, there should be five commit-.
tees to attend to the .community's,.
social interests. These commit-
tees to he on education, sanitation,
recreation, beautification anti
household econoini,cs,
With these 10 oomxnittees every
phase of rural life may be studied
and looked after. It is not enough
to increase the farmer's income.
Rural life must be :elevated and
made so delightful that farm. boys•
and girls will want to engage in:
its activities.
The idea is,. that through co-op
eration, each rural community
should be organized leye rlaving
every individual articulating with;
the movement serving on one of
these committees. The work.
would inchtde nien, women and.
the young folks.
