The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and
takes
Fate's numerous bumps and blows.
A coward can smile when there's
naught to fear,
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes a man to stand "up and
cheer
While sem° other fellow stars.
It isn't the victory after all
Batt the fight that a brother makes;
The, roan who, driven against the' wall,
Still stands ds up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held
high,
Bleeding, and bruised, and pale,
Is the man who'll win in. the by and by,
For. he isn't afraid -to fail. •
It's the bumps you get, and the jolts
you get,
And the shocks” that your courage
stands,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prizethat escapes your hands,
That test your mettle and prove your
worth;
it isn't the blows you deal,
But the blows you take on the good
old earth
That shows if your stuff is real.

BREAD FAMINE
IN GREAT'BRITAIN
.
CO MNT OFA LONDONNEWSPAPER.
Growing Demand for World's
Wheat kereasea and Main -,i
tains High Prices..
Can Great 13ritain grow enough
wheat to feed its 47,000,000 people?
asks a Londonmagazine.
In modern times we have never been
able to do so, To -day we are growing
a quarter of the quantity of wheat
necessary for making our daily bread.
In other worths, our.fariners can only
supply us with enough. wheat to last
us from Friday night to Monday
morning, For the remainder of the
week we should have to go breadless
if foreign supplies failed!
Last yoar;s grain supplies coAt us
$770,000;000—money which could be
kept in this country if the available
ground was devoted to wheat growing.
That amount will • probably reach
$1,000,000,000 this year, for the area
now under wheat is '400,000 acres less.
than at the time of the last harvest.
This meansthat Great Britain will be
at least 350,004,000 quartern loaves
short next year. 7t i;ol.lows, therefore,
that we must import bigger supplies
from, abroad,
Orient Imports Wheat.
These supplies, however, may not al-
ways be available, except at such a
pride that the cont of a 4-1b. loaf might
reach 50 cents -about six times the
pre -War price.
The world demand for wheat is
growing. It is estimated; indeed, that
the world's consumption of bread has
trebled, because countries in the East
are now eating it. China and Japan,
for instance, with a combined popula-
tion of five hundred millions, are im-
porting wheat to make bread because
of the failure of their rice crops.,
While the +consumption 'of' bread has
trebled, the supply of wheat is only
about the same as itwasin pre-war
days. Argentina, India, France, and
the United States have increased their
output, but -Russia, Italy, Australia,
and Germany have little to sell. Rus-
sia, which exported $235,000,000 worth
of wheat in 1914, dropped to $70,000,-
000 in 1916 and is now actually import-
ing from other countries. The Ger-
mans, who did a great export business
in wheat before. the war, are now pay-
ing $1.10 for a 4 -lb. loaf of black bread.
It is the growing demand for the
world's wheat which is sending up the -
price of bread, and which 1vi1l main-
tain the high price. We may have to
eat dear bread for at least ten years
to comer The only solution is to grow
more wheat for ourselves.
Four and a Half Million Tons Short.
One of the most remarkable facts
in connection with our wheat supply
is that while the population of the
United Kingdom has within the last
fifty years increased by 15,000,000, the
average under wheat_ has declined by
one• half million acres. This has been
brought about by farmers finding more
profitable uses for their land, and we
have been content to pay millions for
foreign. supplies. Consequently, the
price of wheat is more than dole
what it was thirty years ago.
It is an ironic fact that one of the
chief sufferers from dear bread to -day
is the Argentine, one of the world's
greatest.wheat-growing countries. The
people of thatcountryare paying 35
cents a pound far bread, consequent
upon the profiteering exporter, other
countries being willing to pay almost
any price for wheat. The result has
been that at the moment of writing
the export of wheat from that -country
has been stopped. Italy is another big
sufferer, the price of bread in that
country being 30 cents per 2-1b. 3 oz.
Poor work people are receiving an"ex
tra 5 cents a day as a bread subsidy
to help them to feed their children.
At the presentrate of consumption
we shall need six million tons of im
orted wheat for the year. As sup
plies stand at present, we shall be
ucky if we get one and a half million.

"Tem' a Reason"
Must Grow More Wheat.
Britain must not only grow more
wheat, but we must eat less bread if
we are to become more self-supporting
and bring; the price down.
On ,several occasions this country
has been faced with, a bread crisis,
notably in 1800, when there was a bad
harvest throughout the Cantinent and
we could not import. The consequence
was that the country was rationed—a
one quartern loaf f9r each person per
week—the average price being 65
cents per loaf. It was prohibited to
sell new bread; riots occurred through-
out .the country, and ultimately the
sale of fine wheaten bread was for-
bidden, and none used but that which
contained bran.
It was about this time that some
genius claimed to have discovered a
paste which was a good substitute for
wheat flour, and an interested Govern-
ment made him a grant of $2,500 to-
wards the cost of his experiments,
which apparently were futile.

uld Time Superstitions
A reader furnishes us with a, list of
old superstitions which were part of
our folk lore in day's . gone )ry,
A rooster crowing at the front door
meant visitor coming.
A twig catching a young ladies
dress s e ant a beau,
m a .
An itching earrweant that
some one
was talking about you,
To turn back after starting meant
bad luck.
Opening an umbrella in the house
meant bad luck to the house.
A. measuring worm on a woman's
frock meant a new dress.
An itching band meant that you
would marry soon.
An itching right Band meant that
you would st'ake hands with a
stranger.
Seeing the new moon over the left'
shoulder meant one would soon get
Tnoney.
Probably ' most of us are supersti-
tious about the number 13, just as
people were .a long time ago. Our own
superstitions will amuse a subsequent
generation, as bhece recalled by our
reader amuse us, Only a subsequent
generation can safely laugh at super-
stitions. Socrates *as put to death
for laughing at some of the supersti-
tions of the Greeks.
A good salad is sorrel mixed with
shredded cabbage or lettuce, with
French dressing.
In India, chaplains are maintained
to minister to British subjects, as in
the army and navy.
Incessant activity does not always
indicate intelligent industry.
Do not think that you are saying
smart things when you say things
that make other people smart.
Naval gunners are now firing
ranges ' df more than 2,000 yards.
"Shoeing an anchor" means cover-
ing its flukes or points in wood to
make them grip better in soft ground.
Toronto was incorporated as a city
in 1834, with a population of 9,254.
A difficulty is a challenge to cour-
age, thought, energy and perseverance.
Ontario is an Indian word and
means Handsome Lake.

Mothers who keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets in the house max feel
that the lives of their little ones are
reasonably safe during the hot wea-
ther. Stomach troubles, cholera in-
fantum and diarrhoea carry off thous-
ands of little ones every summer, .in
most cases because the mother does
not have a safe medicine at hand to
give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets
relieve these troubles, or if given oc-
casionally to the well child will pre-
vent their `homing' bn. The Tablets
are guaranteed by a government
analyst to be absolutely harmless even
to the newborn babe. They are es-
pecially good in summer because they
regulate the bowels and keep the
stomach sweet and pure. They are

Prune Shrubs After Flowering
Many shrubs should be pruned about
this time, especially those that flower.
If one notices the spireas, golden bells,
lilacs and honeysuckles it will be ob-
served that the blooms are on the tips
of the branches which were produced.
last year. Beneath these flowers there
are strong growing shoots starting at
the present time. Therefore, as soon
as the shrubs finish blooming they
should be pruned back to these vege-
tive shoots in order that the strength
of the bushes may cause long shoots
to bloom, next spring. In general, all
shrubs should be pruned after they
bloom, rather than before,,,,,to insure
good flowering the following season.
Misery may love company, but
