DR. WOOD'S
NORWAY PONE SYRUP
SAVED HIS LIFE.
It takes the life out of a mother to see
the child—the idol'of her heart—slipping
away, succumbing to the cruel cough tha
all the remedies she has tried won't cure.
There is nothing so good for children's
eoughs, or colds eroup, whooping cough,
or bronchitis as'De. Wood's Norway Pine
Syrup,
It is pleasant to take, and it cures so
quickly and thoroughly that the heart of
the mother is delighted.
Mrs, Angus McKinnon, Richmond,
writes:—"Last winter my baby
was just two months old, when he took
a bad cold. He could not keep anything
on his stomach with the cough. I tried
doctor's medicine, but it gave no relief.
I told my husband I would try Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup, and I must say it
saved his Life. I just used four bottles
and now lie is perfectly cured, and 1 can't
help but express my thanks to you for
curing my baby,
Two years ago I used it for one of my.
girls. She had a cold and cough, but the
doctor's medicine was no good for her.
I got oix bottles of Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup; and it gave her a perfect cure.
I can not praise it half enough."
The genuine Dr. Wood's Norway Pine
Syrup has been on the market for the
past 30 years. Don't accept a substitute
and perhaps endanger your child's life.

One Way of Making Good.
, Here is a case'of two farmers who
have been under the writer's observa-
tion for a few years. Their exper-
iences prove that a farmerss success
or failure depends about as much on
his management as upon the crops he
produces. Both carne from the same
distant province about six years ago
and bought land near us.
The one bought an •imprpved farm
of 60 acres for $800, paying twee
thirds cash and agreeing to pay the
balance in two annual payments. He
brought improved implements with
him, and was able to cultivate more
acres than a poorly equipped farmer
He planted largely of feed crops,
corn, peas, peanuts, and potatoes, and
produced much more than he could
gather or house properly. Other farm-
ers produced the same crops, so only
a dull market existed for them, and
no profitable shipping facilities were
convenient. Besides his two horses he
kept no livestock, not even a pig, and
the money which he spent for milk
and butter would have paid for a cow
He made no improvem nts, not even
the planting of a fruit tree; spent
the winters in idleness, and got deep-
ly in debt. He sold his farm after four
years, and, of ,course, blamed the
soil for his failure. He has gone to
find a better place. He has a small
family, and with a sufficient number
of pigs and calves to consume even
the waste he could have lived inde-
pendent of the credit merchant.
Whatever place he may select as his
home he will be a failure without a
change 'of management.
The other had only $150 in cash
after paying his and his family's
transportation. He invested this as
one-half payment on a 40 -acre farm
with a two -room dwelling, a pretense
of a barn, and a weak rail •Fence as
its store of improvements. He
brought his meat and lard for the
first year. With these exceptions he
had everything to buy on credit, even
a horse. He soon saw the need of a
cow, so bought one on the install-
ment plan. When he had paid all
but $5 the cow died. He sold the
calf ' to complete the payment, and
bought another cow on the same plan
as the first one.
He has sold butter enough to go
a long way toward buying needed
°supplies and cattle to the amount of
$80. Three years ago he borrowed
money and bought a pair of pure-bred
hogs. Besides producing his own
meat and laid he has sold some hogs.
at fancy prices for breeders. His
first horse, a plug, died just when he
was needed the most, but he bought
a good mare on credit to replace him.
He has built up-to-date fences, a
poultry house, and barns, and added
another room to his dwelling. He
has n family of small children, has
had much sickness and one death, all
causing him heavy expense. He has
planted fruit trees every year except-
ing one, and has already begun to
realize a profit from his orchard. He
has paid for his farm, owes no man
anything, and does not believe a bet-
ter place exists for a poor -man. He
plans ahead and always has a de-
sired end in view.

Prayer—Matt. 6: 5-15; Luke 18: 1.14.
Golder Text, Pliil. 4: 6.e.
A'Iatt. 6: 5r15. The Lord's Prayer.
Do not pray, Jesus said, "as the
hypocrites." They pray "that they
may be seen of men." They desire
a reputation for sanctity which may
heighten their influence among the
people. Better the secret prayer
which God hears, the prayer in which
the heart speaks and the soul goes
ont to Him in desire and faith. Nor
is there need of "vain repetitions" Por
of "much speaking," for God knows
'the need of those who call upon Ilim.
The model prayer which Jesus gave
His diseipies is remarkable for .its
simplicity, its brevity, and its com-
prehensiveness. Calling upon the
heavenly Father, it pleads for the
reverence due to His name, • for the
coming of His kingdom, for daily
food, for forgiveness of sins, and for
deliverance from evil. This is "the
prayer that teaches to pray."
Luke 18: 1-14. Parables of Pray-
er. ;"The unjust judge." The par-
able presents an argument from the
less to the greater witness. If the
less proves the case, how much more
convincing will the greater be! If
the unjust and selfish judge can be
moved by continual pleading that will
not be denied, how much more will
the good and just God be moved to
act on behalf of His own! Men ought,
therefore, "always to pray, and not
to faint," Faith in God means such
trust and confidence in Him as will
not despair of His goodness, but will
keep watch, wait patiently, and keep
on praying. "Pray without ceasing."
"The Pharisee" belonged to a sel-
ect society of 'nen who were zealous
to- maintain the ancient laws and cus-
toms of Israel's religion. In their
origin, one hundred to one hundred
and- fifty years before the birth of
Christ, they were sincere and honest,
even' if narrow, champions of the an-
cient faith against Greek and other
innovations. They became, for a
time, an active political party, but
now, under Roman rule, they were
chiefly interested in preserving,
through a display of religious formal-
ity, their hold upon the minds of the
common people, and their influence
in the great Jewish council which
controlled purely Jewish affairs of
religion and morals. While there were
still good men among them, many
were merely wearing a mask of piety
and well deserving the name of hypo-
crite which Jesus more than qnce ap-
plied to them. They "devourd wid-
ows' houses and for a pretence made
long prayers."
"The publican" was a tax collector,
in the employ of the Roman Govern-
ment, and so was looked upon as a
traitor to, or as an outcast from, his
own people, who hated their subpec-
tion to a foreign power. The Phar-
isee exalted himself in his prayer,
the publicen humbled himself. The
parable illustrates well the saying of
Psalm 51: "The sacrifices of God are
a broken spirit; a broken and a con-
trite heart, 0 God, thou wilt not de-
spise." Compare also Iso. 57: 15. The
old English poet, Richard Crashaw,
writes:
"Two went to pray? Or rather say
One went to brag, the other to pray.
One stands up close, and treads on
high
Where the other dares not send his
eye;
One nearer to God's altar trod,
The other to the altar's God."
Perhaps no prayer of penitence has
been more often repeated than that!
of the publican, and it has often been!
the last uttered prayer of the soup
about to meet its God. And it has
many times been the wisest and best
to whose lips it has come. They have
put to the test and have proved the,
Saviour's words that "he that humb1-1
eth himself shall be exalted."
"No life is wasted in the great
worker's hand.
The gem too poor to polish in
itself
We grind to brighten others."

How I Made My Poultry Pay.
The first of January, 1917, I bought
24 young Plymouth Rock pullets,
gave them good care and fed them
for eggs. In three weeks they were
laying finely. I then bought two
incubators. I set my hens' eggs and
added some others to fill up the in-
cubators. I set four hens at the
same time.
My fust hatch came off the middle
of February, I hatched 266 fine
chicks from 389 eggs. I divided the
chicks among the four hens and a
good brooder. I kept part of the
chicks in the brooder at night until
they were six or seven days old, then
gave them to the hens. For their
first feed I gave them finely crumbl-
ed egg shells and prepared chick feed,
plenty of fresh water and fine grit.
After they were two weeks old I kept
them in a small building with clean
litter for them to work in. I gave
them plenty of milk,
I raised 460 good chicks from 553
-eggs, At 3 months old I sold all but
87 pullets which I kept for winter
layers, 1 received $186.60 for the hens
and young chicks, the hens bringing
$16,80, which, after I• deducted $58
for the feed, eggs and oil far the in-
cubators, left $111.80 for my work
for four months, and my 87 pullets.
Then I began to feed for winter
laying. The first of September I gave
them a noon mash of beef scrap,
chopped bones and bran. After we
butchered our hogs, I fed' a mash of
turnips, potato peelings, table scraps
and meat cracklings, with a table
spoonful of sulphur once a week, My
pullets began to lay December first.
I sold eggs as follows: December,
$18.60; January, $28.63; February,
$35.75; March, $40.45; April, $38.94:
$162.37 in five months. I sold the 87
hens for $73.95 so the total far hens
and eggs was $236.32. The cost of
feed for the hens being $63, I had to
my credit $173.32 for the hens and
eggd, $11,80 for the young chicks,
making the total for all $285.12 an
sixteen months.

Ex -Empress Eugenie 93.
The ex -Empress Eugenie, who was
93 on May 5, strikes all who see her
as, the picture of good, but not robust,
health. Prince and Princess Napoleon
are still residing with "Her Imperial
Majesty," as M. Piehon (the French
Foreign Minister) styled her last
autumn when telling a great gathering
of Alsatians and Lorrainers in Paris
that she had presented to the French
archives the original letter written to
her in October, 1870. by the King of
, Prussia (then at Versailles) declining
her appeal to him not to insist upon
the annexation of Alsace and Lor-
raine.

Five Little Brothers.
Five little brothers set out together
To journey the livelong day,
In a curious carriage all made of
leather
They hurried away, away!
One big brother and three quite small,
And one wee fellow no size at all.
The carriage was dark and none too
roomy,
And they could not move about;
The five little brothers grew very
gloomy,
And the wee one began to pout,
Till the biggest one whispered, "What
da you say?
Let's leave the carriage and run
away."
So out they scampered, the five to-
gether,
And off and away they sped,
When somebody found the carriage
of leather
Oh, my, how she shook her head!
'Twas her little boy's shoe, as every-
one knows
And the five little brothers were
five little toes.

A Strange Fashion.
At one time—in the fourteenth or
fifteenth century—people wore the
beaks of their shoes so long that they
tumbled over them when they walked,
and were forced to tie them to their
knees by laces or chains.
The many antidotes for poisons
which were recommended pointed to
the fact that poisoning, or attempts at
poisoning, were common, or, at least,
that great fear of such villainy exist-
