GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
IS A SKIN WHITENER
How to make a creamy beauty lotion
for a few cents.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh' for months. Every-
woman
verywoman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
whitener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
np a quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands.

its of French Peasalit%
This extruet from Home Fires in
France, by Miss Dorothy Canfield,
gives an entertaining picture of the:
uses the thrifty and practical French'
people make of the rabbit—although
the author could have made out an,
excellent case for Molly Cottontail •
without disparaging that harmless,
and convenient, if not necessary, food'
staple, the pig!
Visitors to our place in the French
village, says Miss Canfield, always
stopped to gaze at the well construct -1 brick rabbit hutches with care-
fully made lattice gates and cement
boors.` I hastened to explain that the
rabbits were not for the children to
play with, but that they form an im-
portant part of the activities of
every country family in the region,
fid supply for many people the only
eat they ever eat except the oc-
casional fowl in the pot for a fete,
day. They take the place, as far as
I could see, of the farnv fatily's hog,
and are, to my mind, a great im-
provement on him, Their flesh is
much better food than the hog's, and
since the animal is so small and so
prolific he provides a steady succes-
sion all the year round of fresh meat,
palatable and savory, not smoked and
flistee.„, salted into indigestibility like most
of our country pork. •
In addition, it costs virtually no-
thing to raise them. They are given
scraps from the kitchen and garden:
—the potato and other vegetable
parings, the carrot tops, the pea
vines after they have stopped bear-
)
ing, the outer leays of the cabbages
and herbage of all sorts that other-
wise would be lost. Every afternoon
the old women of the town, armed
,with gunny sacks and cisldes, go out
for an hour or so of fresh air and
exercise. The phrase is that they.

what with us would be a"walk in the

in a corner of a wall; on the fresh

procession of old women and chil-
dren, red-cheeked and hungry, turns
ger boys pushing the wheelbarrow,
loaded and sacks bursting with food
that otherwise would have served no
human purpose. No need to give the
rabbit, as we do the hog, expensive
golden corn, fit .for our own food. The
rabbit lives, and lives well, on the
unconsidered and unmissed crumbs
from Mother Nature's table.
QUAINT REMEDIES.
Do You Fancy Swallowing Live Spid-
ers as a Cure For Jaundice?
The patient of old did not differ
from his twentieth-century descendant
in liking a smack of mystery with his
drug, and the early practitioner was
apt to play up to this little weakness,
just as the modern faith -healer and
quack do to this day. The constant
recommendation of drugs for "black-
enesse or bruisinge coming of strypes"
was striking. Thus of the virtue of
Solomon's seal it was said: "The root
stamped while it is fresh and greene
and applied, taketh away in one night,
or two at the most, any bruise, black
or blewe spots gotten by falls or wo-
man's wistfulness in stumbling upon
their husband's fists or such like."
The majority of people at the pre-
sent day, however, would be sceptical
of accepting the following remedies:
A live spider rolled in butter, and
swallowed as a pill, was recommended
as a cure for jaundice. One was ad-
vised to cut off a lock of one's hair
and drink it with wine or b, to cure
plague.
Most remarkable, however, was the
belief which our ancestors had in man
as a medicine. The skull, the blood,
the hair—nothing came amiss or was
0o revolting. Most valued of all was
•,"",..he skulls of persons who had died
violent deaths. The heads of crimin-
als who had been hanged were, there-
fore, highly prized, and fetched as
much as eight shillings to eleven shil-
lings apiece if moss had grown on
them. A sympathetic ointment was
made of this moss in the seventeenth
century—an infallible remedy against
epilepsy. The skull itself was podder-

G
OWING TOMATOES IN ALBERTA
The production of tomatoes in large
quantities on the prairie .does not ap-
pear to have been a success in. the
peat, but prairie people are of -a type
who are ' forever doing something
which was never done before. Messrs.
G, 0. Kerr and J. E. Terrill, of Leth-
bridge, Alberta, have observed for
some years that tomatoes in small
quantities were matured in the Leth-
bridge district and decided that there
was no reason why the experiment
should not. be made on a commercial
scale. As a result about two acres of
ton'iatoes were set eel at sinumer 0U
land fanned by Mr. herr, a few nines
east of Lethbridge. The plants were
started under glass in Lethbridge and
set out on June 6, 7 and 8, at which
time they were from .6 to 8 inches in
height. Three thousand five hundred
plants were set in the plot, some of
them three feet apart and some four
feet apart. The experience of the sea-
son seems tb indicate that the four
foot plant is preferable.
The soil secured was an old pasture
which had since been in alfalfa and
is protected by a wind break of trees
on the western side. It is a very rich
'loam with a gentle south slope and,
of course, is irrigated. The land was
cultivated in the ordinary way and ir-
rigated before planted and three times
afterwards.
The first of the ripe fruit was avail-
able seven weeks after setting out
the plants, or about the end of duly.
During the mouth of August from five
to six hundred pounds of beautiful ripe
fruit was taken off the plot each day
and this rate of production continued
into September. The total yield of the
plot is estimated at 35,000 pounds and
a ready market was found for the pro-
duct in the city of Lethbridge, the ear-
ly ripe tomatoes bringing twenty-five
cents a pound and the latter crop fif-
teen cents a pound. The gross price
of 35,000 pounds at the latter figure is
$5,250.
According to Mr. Kerr, no difficul-
ties were exllerieneed in the produc-
tion of this crop, The vines were
trimmed early in July for the purpose
of producing heavier fruit and also ad-
mitting more eunsline which ripen-
ed it very rapidly, The tomatoes were
as large and as `yell developed as the
best imported stock from British Col-
umbia or Washington and, being local
grown, they, ofieourse, reached the
consumer in better condition. The crop
• was so heavy that in many cases the
support stakes which had been put in
for the vines to climb on were broken
down. One vine was noted which had
eighty-three tomatoes on it.
Up• to the middle of September no,
damage had been experienced from
frost, although as a precautionary
measure flax straw had been dumped
about the plot, so that smudges could
be stained if necessary. Mr. Kerr
Points out that the essential thing in
the production of this crop was the ire
rigation, which not only increased the
amount of fruit, but by affording
ample moisture at 'the right time re-
sulted in early ripening. Without ir-
rigation it is doubtful if the experi-
ment would have been at all success-
ful, and while it is not suggested that
every person can go into tomato rais-
ing in Southern Alberta and produce
$2,600 per acre the experience in this
case is at least instructive as to what
theee irrigated lands are capable of.
It is not too much to say that such
lands, if located in the mountainous
part of the continent, would be sold
at many hundreds of dollars per acre,
but because they are found in Alberta
in practically limitless sweeps of
prairie they are still sold ready for
the plow at less than what would be
the cost of clearing them in even light-
ly timbered regions. Their very
abundance makes it difficult to grasp
their value but there is little doubt
that some day they will be the home
of the most productive and closely
settled agricultural community on the
continent,
THE VERSATILE CHINAMAN.
Possesses the Quality of Being Able
to Adapt Himself to Varied
Conditions.
In commenting upon the marvelous
adaptability of the Chinese, Mr.
Charles Ernest Scott, in his book,
China From Within quotes Bishop
Fowler's picturesque tribute to our
Oriental neighbor.
The Chinaman as Bishop Fowler
says, crosses all seas, burrows into
all continents. He excels the Saxon
in ability to toil in all climates; he
matches the Russian in enduring Arc-
tic storms; he surpasses the Negro in
laboring in the tropics. He is the one
cosmopolitan, at home everywhere, as
if he owned the world. Silent, gentle,
submissive, industrious, economical,
temperate, enduring — he thrives
everywhere, on mountains, in the de-
serts, on the plains, on the islands of
the sea,
As the serpent, with his one ability
to crawl, competes in all realms,—
without fins swims with the fish, with-
out hands climbs with the monkey,
without feet runs with the panther,—
so the Chinaman, with his supreme
gift of adaptability, competes success-
fully with the sailor on the sea, with
the frontiersman in the wilderness,
with the miner in the earth, with the
exile in his wanderings. He never
asks for a fair chance, and never gets
it. He takes a chance beneath the
notice of anyone else's contempt, and
succeeds. Once landed, lie abides.
The individual changes, but the kind
continues. All governments that let
him alone suit him. He never breeds
or joins revolutions abroad. He is
versatile; and all industries that have
a possible margin attract him. Like a
mongoose, he can run through any pas-
eSageway. Although fond of a palace,
he can live in a bait; although fond of
space, he can live in a sewer pipe—
and be at horse anywhere.
Value of Paint in Good Farming.
Money spent for paint invariably
adds its cost to the selling value, and
sometimes many times over. An ex-
ample is furnished by John J. Dug-
gan, who bought a first-class but ill -
kept farm four years ago for $8,000.
The grounds surrounding the house
and outbuildings were littered with
scrap lumber and were in general
disorder. The buildings badly need-
ed repairs at doors, steps, roofs and
elsewhere, and were thirsty for paint.
The pig -pens and hen -house were
eyesores. The front fence, a nec-
essity because of the stock which
passed along the road, was a run-
down board affair. The improve-
ments at heart were good enough,
strong and substantial, but they had
suffered from lack of care.
Duggan gave all the buildings a
coat of paint. The paint called for
other improvements. He whitewash-
ed the henhouse inside and out. He
substituted neat woven wire for the
front board fence, and put in lasting
concrete posts where rotting wood
posts and rickety gates had been. He
repaired and hung doors properly,
fixed up the roofs and built on new
porches. The result created a real
sensation in the country roundabout.
It inspired several neighbors to make
similar improvements.
Duggan says he could sell the
farm to -day for $12,000.. Real estate
values have gone up somewhat mean-
while, but it is a safe assumption
that he bought the farm below its
real value because of the unkempt
nature of the improvements. Much
credit must go to paint, whitewash,
nails, concrete, and other every -day
materials used in "fixing up!' Dug-
gan says the total cost of these did
not exceed $600.
Too many Ontario farmers are
notably deficient in the things that
make them pleasant places to live. A
farmer keeping excellent stock, and
using numerous mechanical devices.in
his barns, often lives in an unpainted,
run-down dwelling on disorderly
premises. Many a farmer neglects
his premises on the principle that "a
painted house doesn't grow any po-
tatoes, or make a cow give more
milk."
Not onl:. do paint, concrete well -
kept fences, and constant attention
to little repairs, greatly enhance the
selling value of farm property out
of proportioneto cost, but they have
an even more important psychologi-
cal influence on the farmer and his
family which indirectly makes for
better farming and better farrn pro-
fits. The time is corning when farri-
ers will use paint and such like in
the same spirit that so many business
men attend conscientiously to the
daily shave. The Great War showed
the world that the smooth -shaven
soldier in clean clothes fought bet-
ter. We are coming to realize that
the farmer with well -painted, neatly -
kept farm premises farms better.

Owe Their Condition to Weak,
Watery Blood—How to Regain
Strength.
Every woman's health is peculiarly
dependent upon the condition of her
blood. Fax' too many women suffer
with headaches, . pains in the back,
poor appetite, weak digestion, palpi-
tation of the heart, a constant feeling
of weariness, shortness of breath, pal-
ter and nervousness, Of course all
these symptom's may not be present
in any particular case. They are
merely a warning that the blood is
out of order, and that it is thin and
water$, and If you note any of these
symptoms in your own case, you
should lose no time in taking the pro-
per steps to enrich and purify the
blood. Anaemia — poverty of the
blood= --is' a most insidious disease and
if allowed to run will end in a com-
plete breakdown of the system, Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are, beyond doubt,
the greatest blood -making tonic offer-
ed the public to -day. For more than
a quarter of a century they have been
the stand-by of hundreds of thousands
of people in all parts of the world. No
other medicine has ever achieved such
world-wide popularity, and the reason
is that this xnedicine does what is
olaimed for it, enriches and purifies
the blood, tiles bringing new strength.
to every organ and every nerve in the
body. In this way Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills bring new health to weak, des-
pondent people. Among the many who
speak highly of this medicine is Mrs.
Louis D. Larsh, Windsor, Ont., who
says:—"It would be impossible for
me to recommend Di'. Williams' Pink
Pills too highly. Some years ago I was
very thio and pale; I suffered many
of the symptoms of anaemia, and al-
ways feltotired, depressed and weak,
I had tried several medicines, but they
did not seem to help me. Then acting
on the advice of a friend, I began tak-
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before I
had used half a dozen boxes I was
actually feeling like a new person and
had gained nine pounds in weight.
I continued taking the pills until I
had taken a dozen boxes, and from
that time I.have always enjoyed the
best of health. I freely write you
this letter in the hope that some wo-
man in need, as I was, will see it and
be benefited as I have been."
Most of the troubles that affect
mankind are . due to impoverished
blood, and will promptly disappear if
the blood is built up and renewed. If
you are ailing, give this greatest of
tonic medicines a fair trial and it will
not disappoint you. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills can be procured through
any dealer in medicines, or will be
sent by mail at 50c a box or six boxes
for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams'

SPRING TIME IS PAINT TIME.
110•10 Nt•16
At the recent annual meeting of the
Commission of Conservation, Hon.
Senator Edwards made the statement
that unless Canada exercised more
care with her forest resources, the day
was not far dietant when we would be
without aur supplies of lumber.
While this statement referred par-
ticularly to the protection of forests,
it might with equal force be applied
to the protection of our buildings,
fences, farm implements, etc., for the
reason that, in the latter case, there
is not only the value of the original
forest product to protect, but also the
value of the human energy necessary
for the transformation;Rof that timber
into its various wood products.
Spring, from time immemorial, has
been known as house-cleaning time.
During recent years this period has
developed a popular slogan, "Clean up
and paint up." As a conservation
measure this would be hard to im-
prove upon. Wood, when exposed to
the weather without protection soon
deteriorates, it bears a shabby and
neglected appearance, and is in a great
majority of cases but an indication of
the enterprise or carelessness of the.
owner.
Our soldiers are coming home, they
are coming from a country of homes,
where thrift is paramount, where the
people take pride in their premises
ex d keep there in the best condition.
Can we not, this spring, bear this in
mind, and let our boys see that the
home folks have awakened to the
advantages of cleaning up and paint-
ing up, that their homes bear that
well -kept and cheery appearance that
bids then; welcome?
Old -Fashioned Logic.
I guess the world is better than 'twas

The sheriff's not so busy and there's
fewer people hung.
And work is not so killing when it's
all done with machines;
The only place that wears now is the
. seat of my blue jeans.
But when I see a mower a-clickin'
down the hay,
It takes me back in mem'ry to the
scythe and whetstone way,
When we swung through the meadow
with bold and even strokes,
And those that sort of lagged became
Me butt of friendly jokes.

A garrulous lawyer was arguing a

desultory way that it became very
difficult to follow his train of thought,
and the judge had yawned ominously.
Whereupon the long-winded lawyer,
with a trace of sarcasm, said;
"I hope, your Honor, I am not un-
duly trespassing upon the time of the

"My friend," observed the judge,
"there is a considerable difference be-

It Turned on Him.
The British front had its northern
extremity a short distance north. of
Ypres. A bumptious high -ranker, fond
of being paternal and impressive be-
fore his men, had just taken command
of the troops in the sector and was
making a tour of his part of the line.
The sentry on duty at the extreme left
proved to be a newly arrived cockney
private.
"Do you realize, my man," the gen-
eral beaned, "that you are to -day the
pivot man of the British army?"
The private saluted.
"Great honor, my man." the general
continued. "You are the first outpost
of the British Empire. I, your general,
shake hands with you."
The private saluted, had his hand
shaken, saluted dazedly again, and
watched the general till he was out of
earshot.
"S'y. Sergeant," the cockney then
asked, "what did the old 'un mean
about me bein' the pivot o' the British
army and all that, anyway?"
"What he meant, my boy," the ser-
geant explained, "was that if the Bri-
tish array was to do a left turn, you'd
mark time for two hundred. years."

ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that
a quarter of an ounce of freezone will
