They look on PURITY as a friend, They feel they can trust 1. implicitly, bet.ause each and every lot of PURITY FLOUR has always been uniform—always up to the high standard of qual- ity that has made it famous. Wouldn't you, too, like to use a flour you could always rely on? Wouldn't you like to feel certain that your bread, cakes, and pies were going to turn out exactly right?? That's just how you'll feel when you become a user of PURITY FLOUR the confidence- creating flour. PURITY FLOUR gives high-class results, because it consists exclusively of the high-grade portions of the best Western hard wheat, . On account of the extra strength of PURITY FLOUR please remember, when making pastry, to add more shortening than an ordinary flour requires.' And when making bread add more water, and PURITY FLOUR will expand into more loaves than the sar . e weight of ordinary flour can produce, thus making "more bread and bet- ter bread."

It did not seem to make nny difference whether r ate cr riot, the pains were always there, accompanied by a severe bloating and belching of 'wind. I did not even get relief at night, and s onrctiincs hardly got a bitof steep. In i1y misery I tried many remedies said ""to cure indigestion, bet they 'lid me not one particle of good, and I fully expected I would always be afflicted in this way.

A clever young minister of a country parish fell heed Oyer heels in love with the fair young daughter of his wealth- iest parishioner, M. Simon Paul. He had lie opportunity of declaring his passion, as whenever old Simen found. out the trend of the minister's feelings Ruth was withurawn from her mani- fold church dirties, only 'being allowed to go to•ohureh on Sundays with her watchful parents. "Nae puir minister for my lassie! Faith, she must marry her equal," said• Simon, The young cleric, however, determined if he could not declare his rove in private he'd de so in public, So one Sunday he chose as bis subject the life of St, Paul.. Waxing eloquent, he fixed his eye's on Ruth Paul as she sat in the pew close to her father. "Oh, Paul, I loge thee! Oh, Paul, I love thee!" passionately exclaimed he. Ruth blushed','°and un- derstood, while her father nodded, not in approval, but because he slept. Next morning the minister got a neat little note, which said, "Where thou goest I will go -Ruth." And go she did in spite of old Simon's protest.. Deafness. Cannot be oared by local applications, as they cannot. reach the. diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by. an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the. Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is Clos- ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken .out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca- tarrh, which is nothing but an inflam- med condition of the mucous surfaces.

He was 86 years old. For ten years he had lived with one of his sons, and then after a family row Wentto live with a neighbor. Later he removed to a son-in-law and his daughter. There he died after a short year's, residence. Martin's will was' made after the family disagree- ment. The son-in-law, -Henry Dank- hert, claimed the property, while the other heirs claimed that the will was void for want of certainty. The .execu- tors applied to the court for advice and construction of the will. Mr. Justice Middleton of Osgoode , Hall, has given. judgment holding the son-in-law en- titled to the property. He dismissed the claim of a son who owned the house in which the son-in-law lived, and who claimed that his father lived there be- fore he died at his house.

Im- mediately a rush started for the new field and 200 "sour doughs" are des- cribed as having "hit the trail" the next day, while sledge dogs.and outfits brought fancy prices. It will be a hard winter for some. A "sour dough" is a man who has been north at least one winter and is therefore 'supposed to be able to make bread with sour dough for yeast. Some advice is good; Some, not so good, and often the best is hard to take. Here, is a small dose from the pen of the late talented Spurgeon:— "Take life like a man. Take it as though it was—as it is—an earnest, vital, essential affair. Take it just as though you were born to the task of performing a merry part in' it—as though the world waited your coming, Take it as though it Were a grand op- portunity to 'achieve, to carry forward great and good schemes, to hold and to cheer a suffering, weary, it may be heartbroken brother."
