e Fair. Buy a sack
or barrel before judging
PURITY FLOUR
SOATE people have attempted to judge PUR-
ITY FLOUR before knowing the facts
about it—before using it. So we ask you
to be fair and to buy a sack or barrel of PURITY
FLOUR and give it a thorough try -out before
attempting to arrive at
a judgment.
Look at the beauty and
loftiness of the golden -
crusted, snowy -crumbed
loaves, fit for a king.
Count them and see how
many more of them PUR-
ITY yields to the barrel
than ordinary flour does.
Taste the creamy, flaky pie
crust, and the deliciously light
cakes PURITY FLOUR rewards
von with. My!
Iow thevmake
yourmouthwater!
Such high-class
results can only be
obtained when
using a flour con-
sisting exelusirely of the
high-grade portions of the
best WestEnz hard wheat
berries.
And remember, that, on
account of its extra
strength and extra qual-
ity, PURITY FLOUR
requires more water when making bread and more
shortening when making pastry, than you are
accustomed to use with ordinary flour.

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.

Test of Optimism.
A winning smile a man may wear
when seated in his easy chair, his slip-
pers on his feet, while out of doors,
o'er vale and hill, the man who runs
the weather mill is spreading snow and
sleet. It isn't hard to spring a laugh
while winding up the phonograph which
grinds out joyous strains; and one may
chortle loud, gadzooks, when pawing
over recent books produced by Laura
Janes. But when the housewife says:
"Old sport, methinks you'd better
cease to court the muses for awhile,
and to the basement now repair, and
tinker with the furnace there," can
you still wear a smile? I've gone down
to those realms below a stranger to all
grief and woe, to all that's sad and
blue; but when I shook the hanged old
grate, and clawed out clinkers, stones
and -slate, my smile went up the flue.
As I came up the cellar stair it was a
treat to hear me swear for those who
liked spoiled words; and then the haus-
frau said: "For shame! That is no
way to play the game! Sing like the
dickey -birds !"—Walt Mason.
About It.
Gabsby, the clever and versatile
writer of "The Gallery Clock," in the
Toronto Star, in reffering to the ap-
pointment of the Civil Service Commis-
sion by present Dominion Govern-
ment, sizes up the situation very ac-
curately as follows:
As the French Revolution warmed up
the guillotine got to slow- for the
more ardent spirits. One head at a time
wasn't enough so the enterprising gov-
ernment of the day invented the fusil-
lade, which shot them down in rows,
and the noyade, which drowned them
in batches.
Something like this is the Civil Ser-
vice Commission, consisting of Morine,
Lake and Ducharme, specialiy appoint-
ed to investigate the million dollars'
waste in the Departments. Of, course,
the commission will find the depart-
ments over-rnanned—it's a habit Gov-
ernment departments have—from one-
third to one-half overmanned. This
will give the head hunters just the ex-
cuse they need to lop off the superfluous
Grit heads. After that the Civil Ser-
vice act will be deftly extended to
make permanent certain good Conser-
vative jobs in the Outside Service, and
the commission will have done its duty.
Raisins as Food.
An important medicinal value of
raisins is in their laxative effects.
Raisin juice extracted in "cooking, is
merely unfermented grape juice, and
is good for weak stomachs. Caliror-
nia raisins are the California grapes
dried, and require to be simply soaked,
then simmered until soft, in order to be
used as food. As to comparative food
values, one pound of raisins represents
a food value equal to any of the follow-
ing—one and one-third pounds of beef;
six pounds of apples; five pounds of
bananas; four and one-fourth pounds of
potatoes; one pound of bread; four
pounds of milk; fonr and three-fourths
pounds of fish or two pounds of eggs.
It is claimed that the English people
consume six pounds of raisins per capi-
ta per year, while Americans use but
one pound. Raisins !nay be used in
bread, in puddings, in cereals, and in
many was, and are exceedingly whole-
some in whatever form they are eaten
as foods.
Don't fill lamps or oil stoves while
lighted.
Don't toss away a match unless com-
pletely extinguished, and then toss it
into a metal or porcelain receptacle.
Lace curtains should soak for two
hours before washing in cold water, to
which a little borax has been added.
They are much easier to wash after,
and it rids them of the smell of smoke.
TIE PATIENT BRAIN
FOUND AND LOST GOLD.
General Sutter Discovered the Precious
Metal In California.
"It is net generally known," said a
Mineralogist, "that the discoverer of
gold in California was a Pennsylvanian
and at one time a resident of Philadel.
phia. This distinguished pioneer lies
buried in the soil of Pennsylvania al-
most forgotten. He was General John
A. Sutter, a Swiss, who emigrated to
Philadelphia in 1834 and became a citi-
zen of the commonwealth! His grave
is in the Mennonite burying grounds
at Lititz, Lancaster county, in which
village he spent the last years of bis
life.
"General Sutter was born in 1803 in
Baden, Germany, near the borders of
Switzerland. Upon his arrival in this
country he spent some time in Phila-
delphia, subsequently removing to the
vicinity of Lititz, where, in the midst
of relatives, he engaged in farming.
Possessed of a roving nature, however,
it was not long before he yearned to
explore the great unknown land be-
yond the Rockies. After many priva-
tions he reached. California some time
in the early forties and staked a claim.
It was in the fall of 1848, after u heavy
rain, that, attracted by yellowish de-
posits in a small stream, he made his
great discovery of the precious metal.
The news of his find spread rapidly,
and the following spring the great
rush from the east began.
"General Sutter amassed a consider-
able fortune through his gold diggings,
but lost most of it through unfortu•
nate speculations. He returned to
Pennsylvania in 1871 and spent his
declining years in retirement, tieing
on the pension of $250 a month voted
him by the California -legislature. Lie
died June 18, 1880. Two of tits pail -
bearers were Generals John C. Fre-
mont and Ambrose E. Burnside, who
had been bis friends in Calitoruin."—

FATTED SHEEP.
Tails of the Syrian Breed Weigh Ten
to Fifteen Pounds.
It bas been suggested that in the
sheep fattening process, which is com-
mon in the vicinity of Damascus, ono
might be able to trace the original
meaning of the Biblical phrase, "the
fatted calf." Mrs. McIntosh thus de-
scribes the process in her book, "Da-
mascus:"
"Tolle sheep differ from ours. When
we show pictures of the latter to the
natives tbey ask what animals they
are. They miss the enormous tans of
the Syrian sheep, in which the fat of
the body seems to concentrate and
which, after skinning and preparing,
often weigh ten to fifteen pounds.
"Early in the summer the head of
each family buys or sets , apart one,
two or three sheep. according to his
rank in life or his wealth. The wom-
en and children devote themselves
With great zeal to fattening these
sheep. The chi dren till large baskets
with mulberry leaves and carry them
to their mothers, These several times
a day and also in the night take lit-
tle wooden stools and sit by the sheep.
With one hand they keep the sheep's
mouth open; with the other they cram
itnrothaet. leaves, forcing them down the

"Twice a day the sheep are led to
the village fountain to drink, and their
emits are frermently washed. About
the end of September the work of the
women and children comes to an end.
The sheep have grown so fat they
cannot stand up. They are then killed.
Their flesh is boiled with spices and
put into pots for winter use. This
mincemeat is eaten as a relish at fes-
tivities."

An act will, it isunderstood, be intro-
duced in parliament during the next ses-
sion to standardize the legal weight of a
bag of potatoes throughout the whole
of Canada. At present an act provides
that in the province of Quebec no bag of
potatoes shall contain less than 80 lbs.
For the other parts of the country there
is no standard although ninety pounds is
accepted as the weight in most Ontario
municipalities and in the West. The
new legislation will probably legalize the
ninety pound standard throughout the
Dominion. A similar act was introdu-
ced last session, but was too late to be
dealt with.
Paid for the Supper.
Three men had been out on the spree,
and on the way home at night they
made a compact that the one who did
not do as his wife told him should pay
for a champagne supper the following
night.
The first one returned home, and his
wife greeted him thus:—
"Halloa, you beauty! That's right,
knock alt the ornaments off the mantel-
piece!"
And he knocked Wein all oil,
The second returned, and on going
into his house fell against the piano;
whereupon his wife said:—
"Go on! Get the chopper and smash
it up!"
He did so.
The third returned, and on going up-
stairs his wife said:—
"You miserable scamp! Now fall
downstairs and break your neck!"
"No fear; I'll pay for the supper."
The prediction is made that the
chestnut will become extinct in the
United States within the 'next ten or
fifteen years if the disease that is at-
tacking it is not checked: This disease,
which attacks the bark of the tree,
began in New York State and has
since spread to adjoining States, the
ravages having been carried as far as
South Virginia. It is estimated that
the money loss in New York city and
surrounding neighborhood alone is from
$5,000,000 to $10,000,000. The trouble
was first noticed in New York in 1904
but it is believed that it was present
on Long island at least as far back as
1893. It is believed that the disease
was imported into America with some
Japanese chestnuts.
