ABOUT LORD KTTORIMER.
Of Lord Kitchener•'s characteristics
when lie visited Pekin recently a cor-
respondent writes --lits personal ap.
pearance disappointed• me, krona his
photographs one would imagine him
to be a handsome man with a Bice
rugged and keen, One thinks of hien
unconsciously as in the prime of life,
But in reality he is already neatly 60
years of age and his appearance is net
Vier striking nor, unusual. Only a
pair of remarkable keen and piercing
eyes give promise of exceptional pene-
tration and power. Probably he is
the greatest soldier of this age—and
yet one might easily pass trim by on
the street without remarking hint or,
with his hat on to cover his eyes,
thinking him anything but a titan
whose complexion, by a combination
of alternate high living and exposure
to weather, is exceptionally fiarid,.
That he has little personal vanity is
immediately apparent. IIe stepped
off bis special train in a worn tweed
snit, a sap and a pair of brown boots
with holes in them. By his own wish
no guards of honor came to welcome
him—except one small guard of Japan-
ese, and he had to be reminded of
their presence as he was striding off
the platform, Englishmen of his type
hate any personal show. I am told
it is a real penance for "K. of K.." to
put on his uniform and the one unhap-
py hour be spent in Pekin was when
he had to get into it and go to court
with all his orders and his field mar-
shal's.ivory baton in his hand.
FARM AND, DAIRY.
The names of those farmers who
Won prizes in the Dairy Farm Oompe-
tition that has been held throughout
the province the past year, will be
announced in this week's issue of
Farm & Dairy.
The province was divided into four
districts. The winners in this district,
which comprised that portion of wes-
tern Ontario north of a line running
from Ilamilton to Goderieh, and east
to York county, and comprising York
county, are as follpws :--D. Duncan,
Don ; 0. D. Bales, Lansing ; D. J. Mc-
Clure, Churchville ; G. Laithwaite,
Goderich ; F. Hutton, Brampton ; A.
Groh, Preston ; H. Laird, Don ; J. Mc-
Kenzie, Willowdale. Tho farmers
wbo have won in this competition are
to be congratulated, as the competi-
tion was a severe one, and widely ad-
vertised. In all, 1000 points were of-
fered.. The competition included the
house, barns, equipment, live stock,
farm management, etc.
This year, those three garmers in
each district who won first prizes will
compete in the final competition, to
decide the best dairy farm in the pro-
vince: This competition was arranged
by the agricultural paper, Farm &
Dairy of Petet•boro, assisted by the
eastern and western Ontario dairy-
men's and dairy cattle breeders' asso-
ciations. Detailed statements of the
scores in each of the districts will ap-
pear in this week's issue of Farm &
Dairy.

The polar bear is the only animal
which really enjoys a trip on the sea.
He is quite jolly, generally, when on
shipboard ; but all other animals vio-
lently resent such a voyage, and voci-
ferously give vent to their feelings un-
til seasickness brings silence. A tiger
suffers most of all. He whines pitiful-
ly, his eyes water continually, and he
constantly rubs his stomach with his
terrible paws,
.ANUARY 20, 1910.
WARREN TQPPAN, Lynn, IVIass4
Cured of severe compound
cold and cough by
"Prom Dec. 20, '08, to March 1,'09,
1 had three bad colds, one on top of the
ether. 1 got so weak 1 could hardly
get around. Nothing seemed to help
me until 1 began to take VInol.^ The
change was magic. Three bottles coni•
pletely fixed that compound cold and
. stopped the terrible cough—and what
surprises 117e most, at the same time
it cured me of a severe stomach trouble
tint has bothered me for 20 yews.
Vinol hi< certainly a wonderful medicine."
Mr.Toppan is one of Lynn's most prominent and highly respected
merchants, whose word is as good as his bond,
The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it
contains the two most world -famed tonics—the medicinal, strength
ening,o y -building s ements a Co rver Oil and Tonic Iron.

Don't Lose a Good Cook
Throuh Poor Flour
(r
A GOOD cook, Madam, is a rare jewel and precious scarce now-
adays, And because scarce all the more precious.
It is this very condition which induces Mrs. Neighbour to win over
your Sally by honeyed words and flattery, cunningly intermingled
with promises of a free kitchen, higher wages, elenings off.
So that the way of a man with a maid is smooth compared with
the thorny path of a mistress with the modern kitchen queen.
Any unfortunate remark brings forth a cutting "Here's me notice."
Why not place the blame where it
rightfully belongs, Madam? Don't lose
a good cook on account of poor flour.
Why, fully half the " baking acci-
dents" are the fault of the flour.
Even the highest salaried "chef"
could not turn out an appetising,
nourishing batch from a cheap brand.
It is not fair to expect it:
«r so- * >F
If there's something wrong in your
kitchen, try FIVE ROSES before
Increasing the cook's temperature.
Give"her a " square deal," as the
business man would say.
Buy her gust a small bag to
test barna/efficiency. t4ext
time you'll want a barrel
One "reason why" of FIVE ROSES
popularity is its Responsiveness.
The :east care given to a good re-
cipe, backed by FIVE ROSES, ac-
complishes marvels of culinary art.
For cunning- cookery is rare,
Madam.
FIVE ROSES fits in surprisingly
with your favorite cookbook, even
Mrs. Rorer's tested recipes.
How many flours really and truly
do Mat?
Very few indeed, Madam.
And—
,. What about that "square
deal;' to your folks?

t:'. Cuisine Queries.
What is, or was, a Franklin stove?
The name is now generally applied to
any open stove—that is, a stove
wherein outside air is applied directly
to the Are. The first stove of such a
description was introduced by Benja-
min Franklin:
What is a fricandeau? The French
name for a fancy dish of boned fowl
served as an entree or side dish.
What is a dasstl? A plug or spigot
attached to cask or barrel.
What is empyreuma'. The expres-
sion, "A taste of empyreuma" is only
another way of saying that the thing,
vegetable or meat, has a burnt flavor,
For many people, a slight taste of the
lire- is, if anything, an improvement,
and a "hint of empyreuma" does not
mean that the dinner is burnt.
An Entertainment Suggestion.
In place of a bazar, which is rather
overdone, and which has come to be
rather dreaded by its victims. why
not give an entertainment in the form
of .a masgpe or pageant? The cos-
tumes are always simple, as for in-
stance, a masque of flowers and trees.
These, simply arranged, can be found
at any place whore plays or dramatic
sketches are sold. Extra money may
be made. by selling flowers and fruits
by the girls after the show.' Open-air
pageants are especially attractive, but
can be given in any large hall or pub-
Iic building. Ballads or madrigals
suitable could be added at will if the
text be limited.
in her 51st year. She caught cold
about a year ago and. despite all that
could be done decline set in ending in
her demise. She was a sister to Mrs.
A. Oousley and Misses Sample in the
West. The funeral took place Satur-
day afternoon, Rev. Mr. Dodds con-
ducting the service,
James Leishman, a former Brus-
selite, is renewing old friendships in
this lecality. Pour years ago he went
to Pense, Sask„ where he secured 320
acres. Ile has a fine farm with extra
good buildings, bank barn, &c. This
season he threshed 7,650 bushels of
grain. Mr. Leishman got a touch of
hail and received $262 insurance for
his loss. Mrs. Leishman is a daughter
of Edward Bosman, now of• Wingham.
We are glad to know of Mr. Leish-
man's prosperity and hope it may
long continue. -

Sale
This month we figure on how much profit
we are going to lose in clearing out lines. In
some departments the stock is much too heavy,
such as--
• Ready-to-wear Clothing, Ladies' Coats, Girls'
Coats, Children's Coats, Fur Coats, and
Furs of all kinds, Carpets and Curtains ---
I n fact, all goods on second floor, along with
odds and ends in every department, have to go
at some price.
During this month and next we will be receiving
our Spring Season's goods, and require all avail-
able space, as our purchases for the season are
large. We anticipated the advance in Cotton
Goods, and therefore can show you superior value
for spring 1910.
