not mind. She shut her umbrella and Ont.
took off her overshoes and followed
for Tilly Turtle to unpack her bagel
And here she was cleaning housel •
Chatty Chipmunk could btand it no
longer. She put on her overshoes
and went splashing across the road,
"So you're back from your visit to
your cousins," said Chatty Chipmunk,
"Yes," said Tilly Turtle,
"And how are all the Snappers?"
asked Chatty Chipmunk.
"Well," replied Tilly Turtle, and she
went on sweeping. The water flew
off her broom and spattered her caller.
"Dear mel" exclaimed Chatty Chip -
manic. "It is wet!"
"I'd rather be wet than dirty," said
Tilly Turtle.
"But what about your bonnet?" ask-
ed Chatty Chipmunk.
"Good gracious!" cried Tilly Turtle.
She had forgotten her bonnet! And
she went right into the house. . She
did not ask Chatty Chipmunk to come
Tilly Turtle.
Fanny Field Mouse came hurrying
in atter Chatty Chipmunk. She
brought a plata of cookies just out of
the oven.
"I was baking," she explained. "And
I knew Tilly Turtle that t you didn't
have any cake in the house."
"Here is a dish of cheese," said
Molly Mole, taking off her cloak and
wiping the rain from her spectacles.
"How kind you are!" cried Tilly
Turtle, "Draw up to the fire, ladies,
and Pll make a pot of tea."
The house was swept now, and the
bonnet was not hurt. Tilly Turtle
was in a better humor. She bustled
about, making her guests comfortable.
"Are you having a housewarming?"
asked Sally Sparrow,
She carried a basket with a glass of
jelly. Site was a famous hand at
jellies.
"There are some nuts in my cup-
board that I meant to bring," said
Chatty Chipmunk, not to be outdone,
"1'11 go for them."
"Don't be long," said. Tilly Turtle,
"for the tea's ready."
Chatty Chipmunk dearly loved a cup
of tea. It made talking so comfort-
able!' So she was not long, I can
tell you. , And she began talking just
as soon as she came back!
"But why were you cleaning before
you even stopped to unpack?" asked
.Chatty Chipmunk.
"Such a looking house you never
saw," Tilly Turtle explained. "And
I left things in mud -pie order, too!"
"Everyone says you're the best
housekeeper in the meadow," replied
Fanny Field Mouse.
"If you had seen it!" Tilly Turtle
waved a saucer impressively. "Crumbs
all over the floor and dust in the cor-
ners!"
Molly Mole nibbled a cooky without
speaking. She was conscious of sev-
eral cobwebs at home!
"That was the Ants," Chatty Chip-
munk put in eagerly, "When they
had their party."
"Whet party?" Tilly Turtle de-
manded.
"Well, Augustus and Angey Ant
were going to be married," Chatty
Chipmunk began chattily. "And you
weren't home, so they had the wedding
here."
"I can't believe, it!" cries! Tilly
Turtle.
"It's true," said Sally Sparrow.
"Granny Glowworm told me about it.
She goes to all the parties, you know."
"They say Angey made a beautiful
bride," added Fanny Field Mouse.
"And have you heard about the
Beetles?" Chatty Chipmunk asked.
"Beard what?" asked Tilly Turtle.
"They gave a party here two nights
ago," said Chatty Chipmunk, "They
had planted to have it under the haw-
thorn bush, but it rained."
"So they rased my'house as if it were
a public hall!" said Tilly Turtle.
"They thought it wouldn't make any
difference, my dear, after the Ants,"
Molly Mole put in mildly.
"Oh, it's quite true!" said Sally
Sparrow. "Granny Glowworm was in
charge of the lighting. They had five
hundred Glowworms about .the walls."
"It's amercy they didn't set the
house afire," said Tilly Turtle grimly.
"Granny Glowworm said there
wasn't the slightest denser," said
Sally Sparrow, and she put on Molly
Mole's cloak by mistake.
"1/'11 never live here again!" Tilly
Turtle declared. "Chatty, I'n1 coming
to spa cl'the night with you. And 'to-
morrow I shall hunt up a new house."
"But you won't move out of the
neighborhood?" cried Fanny Field
Mouse,
"No -o -o," said Tilly Turtle. "I
shall get a small place, just to fit me,
The Ants and the Beetles and all their
Mende can stay outside, And when
I go visiting again, I shall take my
house with nae! I know it tint be
done!"
And that, is why Tilly Turtle carries
henhouse at her back.' --Youth's Con-

WOMEN WORKING TRACTORS.
Two in England Plough From Four to
Five .Acres a Day.
Two English ladies began last Janu-
ary to drive a tractor plough, which
was lying idle because the ironmonger
to whom it belonged had no men to
spare to send out with it. They had
experience in motor driving, but none
in ploughing, One day last month a
letter was received from one of them
in which she said:
"We have just done 83 acres, and
have come to do 20 acres, and this
morning there is an inch of snow, but
we mean to go out -and try to work.;
Now either of us can work the tractor I
and plough, and can turn into and out'
of the furrow without slowing up very
much. Screws and bolts are always 1
working loose, and pliers and wire are
often needed. It is very dirty work,
as the engine has to be filled twice al
day, and pttraflln lifted to the top of
the tank. We pull a ten-gallon drum'
of paraffin up in slow stages. The final
bit is done by one being on top and
lifting while the other pushes with her
head! The mixture of on, paraffin and
soil is very adhesive, and our drill
overalls must be a sore trial to wash-
erwomen."
These two women, we are told, now
plough from 4 to 5 acres a day with a
three -furrow plough. They have a
school for training drivers, and have
already taught twelve other girls.

mild but thorough in action—and are
guaranteed by a government analyst

other injurious drugs. Concerning
them Mrs. Auguste, St. Meaux, Sask„

BRITISH WOMEN WORKERS.
All Class Distinction Levelled by the
War.
Walking up the Strand recently I
saw a young woman dressed in a kha-
ki Russian blouse, long khaki trou-
sers and a khaki turban, writes a vis-
itor in London. She was perched on
a ladder, busily washing windows.
Hundreds passed the spot every min-
ute but few even raised their eyes to
look at her.
Women in trousers have long ceas-
ed to be a novelty -here. Three years
ago this ate would have blocked traf-
fic in the Strand, To -day she is sim-
plya woman "doing her bit" in a
great army of women workers mobil-
ized "to keep the home fires burning."
The war found British men unpre-
pared and confused, but unafraid. It
found women almost entirely ignored,
though their patriotism ran just as
high as that of their brothers, fathers
and sons^ After three years of strife
there are still no quitters among the
women, and few pacifists or "con-
scientious objectors."
In thefirst days every woman
wanted to be a nurse. It made no
difference that -. site probably had
never even bandaged a frostbitten
toe or extracted a splinter from, her
finger. She declared she was fully
qualified to nurse the wounded Tom-
mies who were coming home in hun-
dreds in those confused days.
The romance of nursing appealed
to the lady in Belgravia, the cotton
spinner in Manchester, and the typist
in Whitehall, And nine times out of
ten the Manchester miss and Lady
Belgravia were equally willing to
tackle the job of scrubbing the hos-
pital floors and doing the rest of the
samurais labor incident to a nurse's
novitiate,

men is divided into three parts:

A CONCRETE SILO:
Advantages of Cement'
e in the Con-
struction f the Silo.
The many advantages of a silo to
the progressive farmer are well known
and need not be entioned here. A
consideration of co crete in relation to
the silo, however, ery quickly demon-
strates
•
m
n
v
strates the reason for the popularity
it has already attained. Few other
materials can be made as airtight as
concrete and just as a preserve can
must be air -tight to prevent fruit from
working so must the silo be air -tight
to prevent the silage moulding. The
concrete silo is water -tight, which is
of great importance, for the moisture
which goes in with the silage must be'
kept in to prevent the process known
as "dry -firing." An even tempera-
ture in the silo is necessary if the sil-'
age is to be properly preserved and a
concrete silo will more nearly pre-,
serve an even temperature than a silo
built of any other material. The acids
formed by the slight fermentation in
silage have no effect on concrete
which is rot -proof. Concrete also is
fireproof and the farmer whose silo is I
built of concrete does not live in fear
of losing not only his silo but also the
crop stored, which is even more diffi-
cult and .expensive to replace.
The two most popular types of con-
crete silos are the Monolithic, or Solid
Wall Silo, and the Concrete Block Silo.
The former is poured in sectional
moulds, the concrete being suitably
reinforced with steel rods, and the lat-
ter is :built with concrete blocks,
which may be purchased from a mann- b
facturer or made by the farmer him- 1
self during the slack season, these 1
blocks being set up in mortar in the
same manner as ordinary masonry, a

In This Lady's Story
She Tells What Dodd's Kidney
Pills Do For Women
She Was Troubled With Weakness
and Her Daughter Had Nervous
Trouble. Dodd's Kidney Pills Proved
the Remedy They Both Needed.
Hamilton, Ont., May 7th (Special)—
The story told by Mrs. I3, Dickens, of
70 Tom Street, this city, carries a mes-
sage of hope to every suffering woman
in Canada,
"After my baby was barn," Mrs.
Dickens states, "I used to suffer with
my back and had no heart to do my
work around the home. But I read
about Dodd's Kidney Pills and what
they have done for others, so I thought
I would got a box and see what they
would do for are.
"I am pleased to say that after tak-
ing two boxes I found such groat relief
I would not be without them in the
house.
" My daughter, too, had been very
sick on and off for a long time. Her
nerves got so bad we were afraid we
would see her in the hospital. But I
am pleased to say she is better
through taking Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"I never thought Dodd's Kidney Pills
could have done such good work and
I am telling all my frieuds about
them."
Women's troubles, or nearly all of
them, come from sick kidneys. The
cure for them is the old established
remedy for sick kidneys, Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills.
Pins.
What becomes of the millions on
millions of pins turned out annually
y the factories? If ,they merely "got
ost" our floors and streets would be
ittered with them. They not only
`got lost," but they vanish by rusting
way to dust. Doctor Xavier, a Paris
cientist, kept observation on individ-
al specimens. He found that an or -
Mary hairpin took only 154 days to
blow away in dust. A steel pen nib
lasted just under fifteen months. A
common pin took eighteen months,
while a polished steel needle took two
and a half years to disappear.

SAYS CORNS LiFT OUT
WITHOUT ANY PAIN T
WITH THE FINGERS !
Sore corns, hard cores, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be lift-
ed right out with the fingers if you will
apply on the corn a few drops of free -
zone, says a Cincinnati authority,
At little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezonie at any drug store,
which will positively rid one's feet of
every corn or callus without pain or
soreness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding tissue. ,rust think ! You
can lift off your corns and calluses now
without a bit of pain or seaeness. If
your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a smell bottle for you from
hie wholesale drug house.

Only those who have been there can
realize what the Gillette Safety Razor is
doing for the wounded !
Clean shaving on the firing Iine, possible only
with a Gillette, has saved endless trouble in dressing

shortens by precious minutes the preparations for
operating. Later, in the hands of the patients, it
a blessing indeed !
As soon as their strength begins to return, they
get the Gillette into action, and faiily revel in the
finishing touch which it gives to the welcome clean-
