THE little poem beginning Baby -by, Here's a fiy, shows the spirit with which the house fly used to be regarded and even appreciated as a do- mestic ornament and baby's plaything. They did not realize that baby's life lay with the filthy insect who "tickled baby's nose" and who was most prob- ably just from some consump- tive's or typhoid patient's sick- room or from a neighboring stable. As soon as the fly has emerg- ed from the shell it is ready for its deadly work. It starts out from the stable or the garbage can in search of more filthy food. Around it flies from one insanitary place to another. It enters the sickroom and gath- ers there the death dealing bac- teria. It gets typhoid germs on its legs and flies away to some table and wipes them off on the food. It gathers tuberculosis germs and crawls into the sug- ar and over the butter and often ends by tumbling into the milk. It is hard enough for grown persons to fight off the contami- nating flies, but helpless babies are wholly at the mercy of their worst foe. • The flies swarm about them, settle down on their faces, walk over their nursing bottles and leave only when driven away by the baby's res- cuer. c 0 0 0 0 0000000.0000000 .1~0110•a Timely Hints For Farmers About Seed Corn.

For this purpose we know of nothing better than Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. This preparation has been on the market for the past twenty-five years, and those who have used it have nothing but words of praise for its efficacy. Mrs. H. N. Gill, Truro, N.S., writes: "Last January, 1913, I developed an awful cold, and it hung on to me for so long I was afraid it would turn into consumption. I would go to bed nights, and could not get any sleep at all for the choking feeling in my throat and lungs, and sometimes I would cough till I would tum black in the face. A friend came to see me, and told me of your remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. I got a bottle of it, and after I had taken it I could see a great change for the better, so I got another, and when I had taken the two bottles my cough was alt gone, and I have never had an attack of it since, and that is now a year ago." Dr, Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; and price, 25e and 50c. It is manufactured only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.

By ESTELLE CLAYTON. 34444.4.444+4444.44+++44.14444 The big man of the town of Strongs- ville was Jacob Strong. First, his grandfather had founded the town; second, he had been a justice of the peace for some years; third, he had received almost votes enough once to send him to the legislature, and, lastly, he was worth about $30,000. Mr. Strong felt his bigness and ex- acted respect accordingly.. He did his best to make his son Horace and his daughter Maude feel their superiority over all other human beings in and around Strongsville. lie succeeded admirably with the daughter, but the conduct of bis son gave him no little anxiety. One morning he said to the latter: "Horace, I am pained and humiliat- ed to learn that for months past you have been paying attention to the daughter of Scribner, the carpenter. Yon have been riding with her, and you have frequently called at the house. What does it mean?" "Miss Scribner is a nice young wom- an, sir," was the reply. "She is as well educated as our Maude and has as good manners.' "Tut, tut, sir! Make no such com- parisons. If you forget 'who and what I am you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Being the son of a man of position and wealth, with more wealth and social prestige coming, you must look higher, sir, far higher." It was true that Miss Nettie Scrib- ner was the daughter of a carpenter, but as the favorite of her Aunt Hilda Bascomb, a rich old spinster, the girl had been sent to a seminary and en- joyed exceptional opportunities. In all but wealth she was the peer of any girl in the county. As a matter of fact the couple were engaged, but keeping it a secret. Hor- ace had hopes that when the time came to announce the fact to his father 1t would be received at least in a reason- able way, but the conversation of the morning showed him the breakers ahead. What Dir. Strong meant when he re- ferred to more wealth and social pres- tige coming was the fact that he had organized the Strongsville Cannery company. The cannery building was already under way. It was a fertile farming country around the town, but with poor facilities for shipping fruits and vegetables, and he had conceived and entered on the idea of a tomato cannery. He had investigated until he was cer- tain that the profits would be large. He put in almost all the money and controlled things, and what few other stockholders there were did not belong to Strongsville. ds president of a tomato cannery Jacob Strong felt himself to be a tan- gible object. He was right there and all there in his pomposity. He didn't propose to have any of his neighbors feel that as stockholders they need not have too much awe of him. Of course the magnate's son inform- ed the carpenter's daughter of the sit- uation of affairs. Young Horace was determined to disobey his father at any cost; but, unfortunately, Aunt Hil- da arrived on her annual visit. She didn't exactly believe • that all people were equal, but she bowed to none. f1 a carpenter and a blacksmith were honest and respectable men they were just as good In her eyes as magnates. The Scribners attempted to keep the secret from her, but she hadn't been in the house a day when she turned on her sisterand said: "Mary, there's something going on here, and I want to know all abont ttl I find Nettie looking piqued and sorrowful, and she hasn't eaten enough at three meals to keep a bird alive. No we trying to keep it from me. What's the matter?" She was told, and when she had the particulars she set her jaw and nodded 1, , with only 403%, of the shelled run- In all lines of. besirtess old ideas ning over 90 ‘germi(nation as are giving place to heat, and mcd-, ear: Surely this ie sufficient to ways of selling goods. warrant every one in buying seed Almost everyone' (ii familiar corn on the c'ob.

I just called to let you know, Jacob, that I have arriv. us in town, Please keep a little track of me for the next two weeks, will you?" The aunt reached home smiling and chuelding. She laid a band on Nettle's head and said soothingly: ' "I talked up to old Strong today, It was right that I should. But I haven't' spoiled anything. Give me two weeks' and I'll have him here begging you to marry his son. You tell the young man to remain quiet and do nothing rash. Hilda Bascomb is managing this affair, which will be one of finance from now on, and if she makes a fail- ure it will be for the first time. Now I've got to go back downtown and see a lawyer, and then I'll have some rid- ing around the country to do 011, but won't I make old Strong jump before I am through with him!" In planning for the cannery Mr, Strong had called upon most of the farmers and had informed them' pom- pously that thereafter he would buy, their tomatoes at the market price. Be had made no definite agreement with them, however, for he had de- termined to pay a mighty low price when the time came. Miss Hilda Bascomb saw lawyers, and had contracts drawn up. With a boy to drive her, she covered most of •the county the week' after the inter- view with the magnate. Contracts were signed right and left, and Home+ thing was added for secrecy among the signers. Meanwhile the tomato cannery was hurried along, and the fixtures ar- rived to be put in place. In her walks about the town the spinster met Mr. Strong several times face to face.' Every time he scowled and she chncki led. There was anxiety at the Scrili, nem' to learn what was afoot, but the only explanation they could get was: ' "I am simply doing a little financier, ing to help Cupid and the tomato mar, ket along. When it's time to explode the torpedo you'll all hear the racket." She had been in Strongsville almost a month when the racket was heard.' The cannery waa ready for business, and the farmers had been notified to begin delivery on a certain date. The date came, but there 'were no toma- toes. A messenger was dispatched with a horse and buggy. He had been back about half an hoar when Miss Baa, comb entered Mr. Strong's office for the second time and plumped herself down in the same chair.. Mr. Strong was at the telephone. HO was using vigorous language and dancing around. 'Well, and how's the tomato mar. ket7' asked the caller as he glared at 'her and rang oft "It is yon you who have done thiel thing," he exclaimed, "to revenge year- self! otm self! Tout Your' • ".Yes, I have cornered every tomato in the county. It wasn't for revenge, butte give Cupid a chance. How mach will you take for your factory, cashdown? It hasn't any pedigree to speak of, but I think Mr, Scribner, the car• penter, can give it one," "5 won't sell to you! Your tomatoes can rot on your hands!" "01, no, they won't, Jacob!" chuckled Miss Hilda. "I can sell them at a very nice profit. But your factory can stand Idle while I build one of my own! Bet- ter talk business, Jacob Strong. That son of yours is a nice young man, and I think a heap of my niece. It's a love match, and it would be a pity to see It broken off. Isn't there some way that I CaO turn these tomato contracts over to you and let your factory begin work? There's money in the canning business, and I don't want to kill an industry." 1 Mn Strong fought for an hoar and then gave in and shook hands. By the time the contracts were assigned to him; he was smiling. By the time the I'woman to the rusty, old bonnet was ready to go he was ready to remark blandly: 1 "Just so, Miss Bascomb; just so.
