The 'estimated shipments frdM supply countries of the world for this year is 690,000.000 bushels, of which Can- ada is expected to supply 290,000,000 bushels, or about one-third. CHOLERA INFANTUM • Cholera infantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months and unless prompt action is taken the little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby's Own 'Tablets are an ideal medicine in warding off this trouble. They re- gulate the bowels and sweeten the atoenach and thus prevent all, the .dreaded summer complaints. They are an absolutely safe medicine, be- ing guaranteed by a government an- alyiat to contain no opiates or nar- cotics or other harmful drugs. They cannot possibly do harm—they al- ways do good. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. MORE IMMIGRANTS FOR CANADA There was an increase of sixty - 'three per cent. in the number of im- migrants entering Canada during the last three months, es compared with the corresponding quarter last year, and for the month of June alone the Increase over the same month last year was 88 per cent. The number of immigrants from all countries who entered `the Dominion -during the .quarter ending June 30, was 40,952, :as competed with 25,092 for the same period last year. Immigration from Great Britain amounted to 22,553; 'United States, 6,373; and other coun- tries, 12,026. DELICATE GIRLS NEED NEW BLOOD Rich, Red Blood Means health and Strength. The anaemia of young girls may be inherited ,or it may be caesed by bad air, unsuitable food, hasty and irre- gular eating, insufficient out-of- door exercise and not enough rest and sleep. It comes on gradually, beginning with languor, indisposition to mental -or bodily exertion, irritability and a feeling of fatigue. Later comes the palpitation of the heart, headaches, .'dizziness following a stooping posi- tion, frequent backaches and breath- lessness. In a majority of cases con- stipation is present. There may be YIo :great loss of flesh, but usually the complexion takes on a greenish - yellow pallor. Cases of this kind, if neglected, be- come more serious, but if taken in time there is no need to worry. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, which are free straw any harmful or habit forming edrug, are just the tonic needed to remedy this wretched state of health. 'Though it is not noticeable, improvs. xnent begins with the first Base As the blood is made rich the pallor It i'es the face, strength and activity gradually return and. the danger of .relapse is very slight. If any symptom' of anaemia ap- pears, prudence suggests that Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills should be given :.at once, and the sooner they are tak- en the more speedily will their ac- tion improve the blood. You can get these pills through any dealer in tnediciie,_ or by mail at 50 cents a 'ox or six boxes for $2.50 from The iter. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. SEVEN YEARS 1921 Again This second story of 1921 was my second experience of dlsappointment, and yet every part of it is full of 'blessing and teaching. Our little prayer group was very busy all through the growing time and the reaping time, and an ample harvest ell over the country gladden- ed all hearts. Threshing began merrily, but early in September ah unusual thing hap- rpened. A heavy, all-over rain of sev- eral days soaked the sheaves, making further threshing impossible until they should dry met. Sunshine came :again and again, but not enough at a time tb do the drying work thorough- ly, and some of the grain was begin- ning to sprout. The "harvest" .in the West is. not really harvested until it is threshed, and I felt that the promise for seed time and harvest covers threshing time as welt I longed to get out and tell the people that the Covenant "key" will lock clouds as well as un- lock them. After much delay I suceeded _in getting out on Saturday evening, and knocked at the door of several chterches. Some are very much afraid of anything that looks like fanaticisf, and the doors were not opened. But Sabbath afternoon I was allowed to address a small country Sabbath school, and we united in prayer for the settled weather now so much needed. But even here we were not unanitnous, some objected that it is presumptuous to take ' such strong ground with God. There certainly was no community cry to the Controller of the clouds, but my heart was strong that the prayer of the few would be honoured with the weather needed. Then our own little praying group was still holding steadily on. The next two days were fine, but Tuesday evening was very threaten- ing. How hard I prayed against these clouds, but shortly after retiring there was a smart shower. I thought "that will soon dry out," and prayed still. But before morning there came a long, pelting rain that I knew must again postpone all threshing for sev- eral days. This staggered me. I did so want a decided answer, all the more be- cause of the opposition. But while I lay there grieving, a word came which brought calm. "Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee the remainder of -wrath shalt thou restrain." These words began singing through my mind in' this shape "Surely the falling rain shall 'praise Thee, the remainder of rain shalt thou restrain." So I rested there. All the rein that fell should praise Him. Rain that would not praise Him He would restrain. Concerning the two little groups that held on praying I may- say, so much was their faith strengthened by the local answers they received that they were able, during 1923, to take very definite hold for themselves, and with very definite results.

EAT VEGETABLES FOR VITAMINS Comparatively recent is the addi- tion of the weed "Vitamin" to our vocabulary,rd even though the use of the wors now common,' its meaning is not yet understood. Phys- icians have long recognized the value of vegetables in the daily diet and we are now told that this value lies largely in the fact that they contain vitamins, and that vitamins are nec- essary to life. Some vegetables con- tain greater quantities and of differ- ent kinds than others. Three distinct kinds of vitamins have been named: e A „ It B,, an,t sfes „ Vitamin "A" is a mysterious ele- ment in food, without which children cannot grow, but which grown folks also need. Shortage of vitamin "A" leads to disease of the eye, skin and kidneys; and it may cause bad teeth, diarrhoea, pellagra and other ail- ments. As a rule, seeds of all kinds are rather deficient in vitamin "A," although green peas contain appreci- able amounts. Leafy plants, on the other hand, are valuable foods in this regard. Spinach and chard are probably the richest of the common leafy foods in this element, lettuce ranks next, with cabbage holding third place. The roots and tubers vary, sweet potatoes and carrots ranking first, while white or Irish potatoes contain but a small amount, and it is doubt- ful if beets, rutabagas and parsnips contain appreciable amounts. Tom- atoes, however; are very rich in vit- amin "A" and Hubbard squash is al- so a valuable source. Little work has been done on the fruits but there is evidence that apples,,bananas and oranges contain small amounts of this vitamin. Vitamin "B" is guardian of good digestion and proper functioning of the liver and other glands. This vitamin is found in the germ and branny portion of cereals. In the milling of wheat, however, this vit- amin is so cdmpletely removed that the best grades of flour are entirely Iackiieg. This does not mean that we should condemn the white .breads, starchy foods, white rice, etc.; it mere- ly means that we must choose our foods intelligently and eat more vegetables. Potatoes, sweet and white, contain appreciable amounts of vitamin send for free boot giving full partic- ulars artiesulars of Trench's. world-famous prep- aratlonfor Epfeeppasyy and Fits—simple hone treatment.

It has ,only been in re- cent years that we have understood that this curative effect was due to vitamin "C". While oranges have been used for a number of years in the treatment of infantile scurvy, it is only recently that it has become the common practice to supply or- ange juice to infants as part of the regular feeding practice. More re- cently it has been discovered that tomato juice is practically equal to the juice of the orange in this re- gard, and many physicians in the poorer districts of the large cities are prescribing strained tomato juice in place of orange juice.. FIFTY YEARS SINCE MOODY'S GREAT JOURNEY Fifty years ago Dwight L. Moody and Ira Sankey made their famous evangelical journey to Europe, and the anniversary is being recalled in many quarters by those whom the trip interested. A British writer has termed that viiit the source of the most powerful religious revival since the days of John Wesley. Europe could no more resist the appeal of these American evangelists than could their own country. Eminent divines who gave them the cold shoul- der on their arrival in England later joined whole-heartedly in the great religious movement which swept the continent. Henry Drummond, a very young man at that time preparing for the ministry, worked with the Ameri- can missioners for two years. An audience of 13,000 persons greeted these unknown preachers from across the sea at their first meeting is Birmingham; larger crowds turned out in larger cities. In Dublin, a band of athiests tried to break up the meet- ing, but the 'next day the sum of one thousand five hundred pounds was paid in for revival purposes. Moody was no novice at saving souls when he sailed for Liverpool. He hal been at it sixteen years. It was as a small boy of seven that Dwight Moody first felt the efficacy of prayer. He was driving home the cows on his father's farm at North- field, Mass., when one of them fell upon him. He told his mother after- ward that he did not know what to do, so he "just prayed." young Dwight was one of nine ch ren. He was muscular, active and full of mischief. Though he went to school until he was sixteen, his escapades were more numerous than his merit marks. When nearing 18 he went to Boston and entered his uncle's shoe storey He soon out- stripped all the other salesmen in number of sales. Even at this early date, religion was uppermost in his mind, and he became a member of the Mount Vernon Congregational Church. In the Fall of 18¢5, Dwight set out for Chicago, and it was here that the young man started the work which placed his name among the great re- ligionists of the world. Still making his living selling shoes, he found time to gather up a crowd of ragged urch- ins, whom he taught each Sunday at a church in his neighborhood. Then he rented four pews in the church and kept them filled with people he brought in off the streets. The sail- ors along the river front were his next converts. Down a by -way near North Mar- ket Street he stumbled upon a resort known as "The Sands," a rendexvous of thieves, gamblers and other shady characters: With his usual zeal he undertook to clean up this moral cess- pool. Saving souls took time, and he found it necessary to give up the shoe business and devote all his energy to the many problems he met in the Chi- cago streets. He rented a saloon in 1857, and without tract or testament started his .series of meetings which taxed to capacity the small quarters. Whether he offered any inducement to the older members of his flock for regular attendance is not written down in the record of those early days but maple sugar he found to be a great attraction to the young, and he kept his pockets well supplied with the delicagg. In less than a year the young preacher had enrolled 650 persons in his improvised school. He rented a larger room over the saloon, and with the help of two friends and more maple sugar continued the work. Though persecuted by the denizens of "The Sands" he kept to his program for six years. Many of those he dragged out of a miserable lbfe be- came useful members of society. Vol- unteers came forward to help him with the teaching; the reputation of the school on North Market Street spread. President Lincoln, aniong other notables, visited it. Those who knew Moody say his re- ligion was of the aggressive, soul - saving kind. He held that Christians should attack the stronghold of sin. Their religion should not be passive. That was not the way to help the needy. He bought a pony to help him in roaming the poor neighbor- hoods. He would arrive at the door of the school with the small animal almost entirely covered with street arabs, other ragamuffiins holding to the beast's tail. The North Market hall became too small for the increas- ing number of converts. One thous- and young scholars and three hund- red parents taxed the rapacity of that early saloon.

"PRISONS It will be, news in many who have read the scores qt_Ilrticles of prison reform to learn lilt in many parts of the United $tater treatment of prisoners is praetically unimproved, despite much propaganda and organ- ized effort in their behalf. Jana, we are told, in the Literary Digest, in- stead of inspiring the offender with respect for the law and faith in hu- manity, too' often are little more than schools for crime In meeting out punishment, no consideration is taken of the, history of the offender, of the possible causes of his guilt, whether he has had the chance which good morals hold that every child should have', and thus, often times, the pun- ishment does not fit the case. To this day, writes Dr. Hastings H. Hart, President of the American Prison Congress of 1922, -the laws of many States a nd ttie" practice of many courts are based, on the idea of in- flicting a penalty upon the prisoner proportionate to hip guilt. If, for instance, a man steals a purse con- taining less' than $20, that is a misde- meanor, and he is sent to jail or a house of correction for 30, 60 or 90 days. If the, purse happens to con- tain more than $20 that is a felony, and he may be sent to a State prison for one, two or five years. Again contiues Dr. Hart in Moral Welfare: "Here are two young men who . go out together, steal an automobile and sell it for $200. Each man takes $100 end goes his way. Both are arrested and convicted. They have been guilty of the same crime, frorn which they have reaped the same amount. The judge gives each of -them a sentence of two years, with a lecture upon the enormity of their crime, and we say justice has been done. "But upon a study of the case, it is found that one of these young men was born in the slums; his father was a thief, his mother war immoral; he ran with the 'gang.' He was not sent to school, but was set to work and his wages were taken by his parents. He had no religious instruction. The other boy was barn in a Christian family; his father had abundant means, he went regularly to church, Sunday school and day school; he had sufficient spending money and no ex- cuse for wrong -doing. We say the second young man is much more guil- ty than the first and should receive a severer punishment. But on further inquiry, we find that this box's fath- er was too busy getting rich to give attention to his son.,,lie did not know • the li srn no real share in his was foolish and in- fiettered him and a t zing him unpr and concealed. .' his father.

The work is still in its early stages, but it has ' already re- vealed extraordinary diversity in the prisoners, and from this, judges, pros- ecuting attorneys and wardens are learning many things. "We are rec- ognizing that the proper treatment of the prisoner cannot be determined in advance by the judge on the bench, who listens for a few hours to the testimony of witnesses. We are in- troducing the probation system, whereby the offender is allowed to go at large under the friendly supervision of i$robation officers, and the parole system, whepeby prisoners, who give evidence of a &ince of character are released from arisen before the es- piratiae of t,,o sentence, under the wetehh-care of a pixel* Baer.,,. .State Boards prison associations, "commit- tees of one hundred," and other or- ganirFations for the reform of prison andprlsonera are in existence, but De.
