Denison, Texas. — \After my little giri was barn two years ago I began suf- fering with female trouble and could hardly do my work, I was very nervous but just kept drag- ging on until last summer when t got where I- could not do my work. I would have a chill every day and hot flashes and dizzy spells and my head would al- most burst. I got where I was almost a walking skeleton and life was a burden to me until one day my husband's step- sister told my husband if he did not do something for me I would not last long and told him t o get your medicine. So he got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com? pound for me, and after taking the firBt three doses I began t o improve. I con- tinued its use, and I have never had any female trouble since. I feel that I owe my life to you and your remedies. They did for me what doctors could not do and I will always praise it wherever I gO.\—Mrs. G. 0. L0WERY, 419 W.Mon- terey Street, Denison, Texas.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN KiDNEYS WITH SALTS Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eatlnfl Meat for a While If the Bladder Bothers You. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must fluBh the kidneys occasionally. You must re- lieve them like you relieve your bow- els; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weafhor is had you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid- neys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations t o clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoid- ing serious kidney and \bladder dis- eases.—Ady.

HARDY* New York To people of importance, with influence that is wide- ly sought for, the^telephone has added a heavy burden. It has broken down their last privacy, Once they could escape for lest and refreshment into .the sanctity of home and find there protection from intrusion,' jSfo.w the very bievity of the telephone appeal disarms them. Tliis friend or that acquaintance or the friend of an acquaintance or friend begs for just a moment. ' The telephone cannot be.kept waiting. It conveys the nervous feeling that someone is being held' in suspense. Often the interruption domes at a trying time, and it may come again and again i n quiqk succession. \\The victim, freed from the restraints of the other persons present, seeks relief fpr Ms damaged feejings in scowling or groaning or making resentful remarks with bis hand over the mouthpiece, sometimes by holding the receiver from his ear to mitigate the sound. Some public men have formally rebelled against the telephone. \I will not be the slave of any man or of his invention/' said Tom Johnson, while mayor of Cleveland, when he was asked to leave his fable t o respond to the call of the telephone. As with most public men, the telephone had ceased to' have a hold on his curiosity. He knew that when people called him up it was not usually to lessen but to add .to- his cares. It is not •uncommon for public men to be called up in the middle of the night by people who have no claim on them whatever. The telephone companies have tried to give some protection to sub- scribers by establishing what they call private telephones. As the mem- bers are not listed, only those persons associated with the subscriber know the number. So the subscriber's telephone is made to give the service for which most people chiefly use it, not to receive but to send messages. Of course, the telephone is performing a marvelous service. But its merits are, fully appreciated. 'What is needed is a means of keeping it from being an affliction. Some one of the many societies for ameliorating social conditions ought to establish a telephone etiquette, devoted largely to explaining when not to telephone.

THOMAS GILL SOAP CO., 711-717 Kent Ave.. Brooklyn. N. Y. Not So Much. \My name is Jones and I'm fron New York,\ announced the traveler to the keeper o£ a hotel in Minot, N. D. \That's funny,\ remarked the land- lord. \I know a man by that name out in Butte, Mont.\ Whereupon the New Yorker realized that this is indeed a small world and that he was about the smallest thing in it. It i s going to cost Ameri-. can men and women a lot more to dress next year if they want to wear tailor- made clothes. Already there has been a decided increase in the price of imported fab- rics and in the accessories necessary for a suit of clothes for particular customers. ' . If there is not soon an end of the war, there is no telling where the price of clothes will go—that is, the price of clothes made from imported goods. For several months there has been a scarcity of dyestufls in the United States, and there is apparently no way to remedy this. To some extent this has been a good thing for the tailors, for they now get about seven times as much for their woolen waste as they did before the dye shortage. Before the war the waste of woolen rags, as they are generally termed, brought three cents a poimd. At present they are bringing 20 cents, and a cent or two more i s paid for blue or black woolens. These rags are sent to the factories and the dye boiled out of them and used in new materials. The trouble is that the tailors have very few all-wool rags on hand. Cotton drilling, generally used for pockets, has advanced from eight cents to twelve cents a yard, and the canvas used for the stiffening is very scarce, for the reason that most of it comes from Belgium. This has gone up from 18 cents to 30 cents a yard, and there is very little t o be had at the latter figure. Imported fabrics of every description have advanced from 25 to 60 per cent in price, and they will continue to advance if the war continues. All of tins means that the tailors will be forced to put up their price for custom-made clothing. ' WKEB TABBY AN£> FLORETTEt ., Tabby was a tiger cat, and could, catch a great many mice. She was not afraid ito hunt for them, and prided herself on the. fact that where she was there were no mice to bother any- one. But one day Tabby found a large yellbw-and-white Angora cat had'eome to live in the house, The name of the new cat Was. Florette, and her eyes were \blue* while Tabby's eyes were green. \Your noas 1B broken,\ cried the cook when Tabby came crying into the kitchen when she had been driven downstairs. \That new es(t i s the pet now, and you Will have to stay with us.\ Tabby ate her supper in silence and knew that the cook spoke the truth, but she hunted mice and slept in the corner as though nothing. had hap- pened. One night while she was watching for mice in the pantry she thought of a' way to bring herself into favor again, \I'll just stop catching mice,\ she said. \I don't believe that proud Morette could catch a mouse; most likely she would be afraid of one if she saw it, or too lazy to exert her- Wllllng. \Why don't you take something for that cold of yourB?\ \What would you advise me to take?\ \Quinine \Nothing doing.

JAPANESE BOY BLACKSMITHS Busiest and Hardest Workers In World —Have No Thought of Play While Work Is Before Them. In Japan boys are apprenticed to learn a trade much younger than boys in our country are, H. Croy writes in Northwestern Christian \ Advocate. Thousands are put in shops to learn to be blacksmiths when an American boy would: still Be In school. A Japa^ nese rather has so many boys that he has to put them put 'at some useful; trade in order that they may bring in money t o support the family. The' boys have to work long hours; frordj seven in the inorhing until six i n the, evening. \ They are faithful workers, the; busiest you could tad anywhere in the world, Even when.a visitor comes a'nd stands in the door to watch one of, them work he wiil not look up froin his work Bfe has no thought of play as long as he is at work; but when: his hours are over no boy likes t o get i 6ut and have ja little fun more than he. Japanese blacksmith shops open on to the street, so that the boy at his anvil sits within a few feet ofLihe'side- walk* The shops are closed at night by putting boards in the front arid barring them well. There are no doors with hinges. The hinge is unknown in Japan; what doors there are are made t o slide back and forth. There are many more blacksmith: shops in Japan than in our country; there is one every few doqrs, and in walking along the street you may hear the clang-clang of hammers; The boy wears a black apron with pockets; this he takes off when ready to start home in the evening. He wears wooden shoes—flat boards with straps over them to keep the shoes from falling off. His stockings are called tabis and come only to his ankle. And always there is a separate compartment for the big toe. An American boy would have a hard time in keeping a pair of Japanese shoes on, yet a Japanese boy can put up a mighty good footrace with noth- ing to hold his wooden shoes on ex- cept his big toe.

Are you keeping your bowels, liver, and stomach, clean, pure and fresh •with Cascarets, or merely forcing a passageway every few days with. Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or Purgative Waters? Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg- ulate the stomach, remove the sour and fermenting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the oonstip'ated -waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will make you feel great by morning. They work •while you sleep—never gripe, sicken or cause any inconvenience, and cost only 10 cents a box from your store. Millions of men and women take a dascaret now and then and never have Headache, Biliousness, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach or Constipation. Adv. General von Hindenburg, chief of the German army, is an expert olios* player. Colds are catching. People suffering with a cold should not cough or sneeze without holding a handkerchief over both nose and mouth. They should spit only in proper receptacles. Small drops containing millions of germs may be scattered about in coughing, sneez- ing, or' as a result of ordinary conversation. A person with an acute cold Bhould try not to infect others. To keep up the general resistance the skin should be kept in a healthy condition. This can be done best by taking a warm bath at bedtime at least twice a week, and a cold shower or a sponge bath of very short dura- tion every, morning. During the winter season most living quarters are kept too warm. The habit of-living in overheated rooms lowers the general resistance and injures the membrane lining of the nose and throat so that one becomes easily a victim to a cold, bronchitis or pneumonia. Fresh air, too, is just as essential in a sleeping room in the winter time as it is in the summer time. It should not be excluded, but there should be a proper amount of clothing for protection. Clothing should suit the kind of weather, not the season. In warm spells clothing should be reduced; in cold snaps, increased. Clothing should be reduced when one enters a warm room and put on again when exposed to the cold. Little Helps to Restful Slumber v W. L. Pennington, Brooklyn, N. Y. There are any number of little helps to a sound slum- ber if you are given to wake- fulness. A cup of boiling milk taken just before lying down has a soothing, warm- ing effect, which is condu- cive to sleep. A hot bath has excellent results in luring on elusive slum- ber, but only i f sleep is sought immediately after taking it. If you take a hot bath and then sit up reading a while you will find yourself more alert mentally than ever by the time you are ready for sleep. The only way hot baths are efficacious is t o take one and then compose yourself for slumber at Once. One of the best aids to insomnia is to sit up late reading in a hot, stuffy room. It is almost impossible to sleep after a couple of hours inclosed in a badly ventilated room. An excellent sleep medicine is a brisk walk in the open air before retiring, Walk around the block, inhaling deeply, then on your return open your bedroom windows wide, take a hot bath (but don't linger in the tub) and hop right into. bed. Pill your mind with peaceful thoughts or make it as blank as pos- sible, relax your entire body, breathe deeply and you are sure to sleep. 'I Believe That Is a Stuffed Cat.\ self,\ she added. I'll go out to the barn to live awhile and let the mice have a run.\ So off to the barn went Tabby, and the mice and rats did not frighten her any more than the little mice. She made herself a nice bed beside the horse, and they became great friends. \I am glad you came out here,\ he told her one day. \The rats ran around here at night so I could not sleep Bometimes. •'They won't while I am here,\ said Tabby. \You should be glad I a m not a proud Angora cat; they never do anything t>ut sleep, eat, and dress up and sit in the window.\ And then Tabby told him her troubles. \But they will find I am the one that takes care of the house,\ she told the horse; \and if I am not mis- taken they will send for me soon and give me the best place to sleep and treat me in a very different manner from what they have lately.\ It was as Tabby had predicted. The mice found out that she had gone l and they could run right in front of Flor- otte without danger. \I believe that is a stuffed cat they have here now,\ said a mouse one day after he had run'past Florette and she had not moved. \Yes said another, \that is not a real cat, because I ran up on her bas- ket one Bight and looked at her, and she did not move. Isn't this a nice place to live?- I wish we had always lived here.\ One day the cook came to the barn and called Tabby. She had a nice dish of cream, and when Tabby had finished it the cook carried her into the house. , \You stay here tonight,\ she said. \This place is overrun with, mice. That Angora Florette might as well be a stuffed cat for all the work she does.\ Tabby me-ow-ed and rubbed against the cook's dress. \I have won so far,\ she said to herself. \I guess I will get upstairs after a while, too.\ A few days later Tabhy heard her mistress calling \Tabhy Tabby,\ one morning, and she ran t o the stairs and looked up. Her mistress stroked her head and patted her, calling her good Tabby, and then she took Tabby into a closet. Some bits of feathers and flowers were lying on the floor. \See what those horrid mice have done,\ said her mistreas. ''It never happened while you were around here, Florette is a handsome cat, but she is not one bit of use as far as catching' a mouse goes. She lets them walk all around her.\ \Me-ow. me-ow,\ said Tabby. \Yes said her mistress, who seemed to understand her; \you are to stay; only keep the mice but, and hero is your old cushion, right by the window in the sun. Florette cannot have all the nice things, Handsome is that handsome does, and you certainly can- not be beaten catching mice.\ Encouragement and Training of Voutl Along Lines of Activities of Coun- try Among Objects. ' The principal objects to be attained through the promotion of boys' agri- cultural clubs, as defined by those in charge of this work, are: 1. To encourage and train boys along the lines of the activities of country life. 2. To put Into practice the facts of scientific agriculture obtained from books, bulletins, etc. 8. To bring, the BChool life of the boy into closer relationship to his home life. 4. To assist hi the development ot the spirit of co-operation in the family and in the community. 5. To dignify and magnify the voca- tion of the farmer by demonstrating the returns which may be secured from farming when it is properly con- ducted. 6. To enlarge the vision of the boy and to give him definite purposes at an important period i n his life. 7.

P. TYSDAL. • I lived near Lee, Illinois, for 46 years I came t o Saskatchewan in the spring of 1912 and bought land near Briercrest. I have farmed this land, 1,680 aores, ever since. I have nad grand crops. In 1914 I had 100 acres of wheat that yielded 40 bushels to the acre. I sold this wheat at $1.50, per bushel. ' I like the country and my neighbors. My taxes on each quarter section (160 acres) are about ?32 a year. This cov- ers municipal tax, school tax, hail in- surance tax—everything. There is no war tax, so-catted. I like the laws in force here. There is no compulsion to\ me in any way. I am just as independ- ent here as I was in Illinois* and I feel that my family and I are just as well protected by the laws of the province as we were in our old home i n Illinois. What I earn here is my own. I have' seven children and they take tneir places at school, in sports and at all public gatherings the same as \the Canadian born. (Signed) St. P. TYSDAL. February 9th, 1916. STATEMENT OF STEVE SCHWEITZ- BERGBR I was born in Wisconsin, but moved with my parents when a boy to Stephen Co., Iowa. I was there farm- ing for 60 years. I sold my land then for over $200 an acre. I moved to Saskatchewan, and located near Brier- crest in the spring of 1912. I bought a half section of land. I have good neighbors. I feel quite at home nere the same as in Iowa. We have per- fect safety arid no trouble in living, up to the laws in force. My taxes are about $65 a year, on the half section for everything. I have had splendid crops. Wneat in 1915 yielded me over 50 bushels to the acre. That is more than I ever had in Iowa and yet the land there costs four times as much as it does here. The man who comes here now and buys land at $50 an acre or less gets a bargain. (Signed) S. SCHWBITZBEjRGER. February 9th, 1.916.\ —Saskatchewan Farmer, February, 1916.—Advertisement.

Tho aim of the boys' club wefrk is the same as that among men-^—viz, t o secure the adoption of better meth- ods of farming and greater yields at less cost.
