ITS HARD TO WORK I It’s torture to work with a lame, aching back. Get rid of it. Attack the cause. Probably it’s weak kidneys. Heavy or confining work is hard on the kidneys, anyway, and once the kid neys become inflamed and congested, the trouble keeps getting worse.

MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME ideals, Which Consistently Lived Up to, Cannot Fall to Make for Hap piness In Life. This home is dedicated to good will. It grew out of love. The two heads of the household were called together by a power higher than they. To its decree they are obedient. Every tone of the voice, every thought of their being. Is subdued to that service. They desire to be worthy of their high call ing as ministers of that grace. They know their peace-will go unbroken only for a little time. And often they suspect that the time will be more short even than their anxious hope. They cannot permit so much as one hour of that brief unity to be touched by scorn or malice. The world’s judg ments have lost their sting Inside this door. Those who cofne seeking to continue the harmony which these two have won are ever welcome. The rich are welcome, so they come sim ply. The poor are welcome, for they have already learned friendliness through buffeting. Youth is welcome, for it brings the joy which these two would learn. Age is welcome, for it •will teach them tenderness.—Collier’s Weekly. AS TO FLAVOUR. Found Her Favorite Again. A bright young lady, tells how si*, came to be acutely sensitive as to the taste of coffee: “My health had been very poor for several years,” she says. “I loved coffee and drank it for breakfast, but only learned by accident, as it were, that it was the cause of the constant, dreadful headaches from which I suf fered every day, and of the nervous ness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that everything I ate gave me acute pain. (Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in cofTee.) “My condition finally got so serious that I was advised by my doctor to go to a hospital. There they gave me what I supposed was coffee, and I thought it was the best I ever drank, but I have since learned it was Postum. I gained rapidly and came home in four weeks. “Somehow the coffee we used at home didn't taste right when I got back. I tried various kinds, but none tasted as good as that I drank in the hospital, and all brought back the dreadful headaches and the ‘sick-all over’ feeling. “One day I got a package of Postum, and the first taste of it I took, I said ‘that’s the good coffee we had in the hospital.’ I have drank it ever since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my breakfast. I have no more headaches, and feel better than I have for years.” Name given upon request. Read the famous little book, “The Road to Well vllle,” in pkgs. "There’s a reason.” Postum now comes in concentrated, powder form, called Instant Postum. It is prepared by stirring a level tea spoonful in a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream to bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum is convenient; there’s no waste; and the flavour is al ways uniform. Sold by grocers—46 to 60-cent tin 30 cts., 90 to 100-cup tin 60 cts.

SAW 20,000 BULGARS SLAINJNONE DAY Austrian Red Cross Surgeon Tells of Awful Carnage At Chatalja. Vienna. Special: The first real In* sight Into the awful losses sustained by the Bulgarians, the conditions un der which the wounded were cared for and the present state of the cholera epidemic is given by the Austrian Red Cross surgeons who have just returned from the battle fields and Constanti nople. Professor Clairmont, who accompa nied the unit sent to Bulgaria, declares that the Bulgarian losses before the Chatalja lines were very great, no less than 20,000 falling In one day. Ac cording to some of the other doctors, the transport arrangements for the wounded were appallingly inadequate. The Austrian unit stationed near Kirk Killsse, where the most severe cases were treated, had on some days more than 100 operations, averaging a half hour each. The work was car ried on under great difficulties, often with insufficient food. The surgeons and nursing sisters un derwent great hardships on the jour ney to Kirk Kllisse, and on arriving there spent the first five nights in the open air and with only tea and bread on which to subsist. Speaking of the cholera outbreak, the Austrian Red Cross surgeon, Dr. Wim mer, who has Just returned from Con stantinople, declares that the disease is still rampant there and that the Im pression prevailing In Europe that It is all over, Is entirely erroneous. When he left Constantinople four days before, BO to 100 deaths were re ported daily. Hundreds died without receiving the slightest care or med ical attention. QUIET, INTIMATE WINTER IS BEING LOST TO US From Scribner’s. “In their season." That, to my mind, means strawberries in June and blueber ries in July and huckleberries In August. And when I encounter strawberries In January, blueberries In March, and rasp berries in December I feel deeply Irritated. It Is not only fruits and vegetables that are getting mixed up. The seasons In peo ple’s lives seem to be losing some of their Individual character, §o that we never know just what we are going to get. In some ways this is a gain. For example, the definite putting away of childish things was not an unalloyed good. The complete shutting of the chilfl from the confidence of the adult, the complete alien ation of the adult from the Interests of the youth, these are not habits to cling to. And yet It is a fact that life ought to bring us Its various experiences with a certain regard to their seasonableness, and when we see little children going to “prob lem plays," and grown-ups spending their mornings over cards and their evenings over picture puzzles, one Is tempted to think that something Is wrong. Jaques would have to revise his summary of the seven ages of man, and still more of wom an, rather thoroughly to make It pass muster now. There seems to be very little springtime In the lives of today; it Is most ly summer and Indian summer, while winter—quiet, hospitable, intimate, stay at-home winter—Is getting left out en tirely. If we don’t look out, we shall Infect na ture. She Is a sensitive creature, highly "suggestible,” as the psychologists put It. Some one has maintained that it was purely at the suggestion of the pression lsts that she perpetrated London fogs and purple cabbages. She may do other things. There is no telling what she may not do. In Imagination I look out upon a world where babes In tailor-made suits play bridge through snow-bound July eve nings, where old ladles ^n pinafores skip about picking daisies In December; but let us not too wildly anticipate. Let us bring ourselves up sharply before It Is too late. Let us consider whether we do not, after all, get the most out of things, whether they be grapes or kites or snow storms or enthusiasm, by taking them In their season. 8ixty-Threo Dogs In the Baggage. From the New York Times. When Mrs. N. Bramber, a widow of wealth, arrived in the station from At lantic City, the baggage carried in her name consisted of: Sixty-three barking dogs, 16 trunks, five bundles of golf sticks, a fullgrown horse, photographic and tennis equipments, and five boxes of dog rations. It was explained after the head of the baggage crew asked feebly. "Is this all?" that automobiles and other luxurious equipment were coming by freight. The baggage force also learned that the horse was the property of Mr. and Mrs. C. Klotz, who had been in charge of Mrs. Bramber’s kennels for years. Outside of that, however, the first lineup was cor rect. Mrs. Bramber traveled incognito. Mrs. Klotz met all the emergencies at the transfer points, where there were lively times with the 63 dogs, 16 trunks, five bundles of golf sticks, and other contribu tions to the baggage car Jam. "We are glad to have that nightmare of a trip over,” said Mrs. Klotz, as she superintended the loading of the dogs and puppies. Calculative express employes figured that it cost Mrs. Bramber $1,000 to move her kennel and other baggage, while Klotz paid $470 to bring along his prize trotter. -- »■ Horseshoe His Hoodoo. From the New York Herald. John Osborne, years ago said to here been one of the best known horsemen in the country, today walked into the police station at Eleventh and Winter streets gnd tossed across the desk to Sergeant Taggart a horseshoe. "That’s my hoodoo, Sergeant," said Os borne; "I’m going to leave it with you.” According to Osborne, the horseshoe was worn by the old racehorse Cricket. Borne years ago Cricket was entered in a race at Sheepshead. He was an odds on favorite and Osborne had wagered his bankroll on him. Cricket was romping home by a comfortable margin when he threw the shoe. He lost the race. Os borne went out on the track and got the shoe and has carried it until today, but never had a bit of luck.

NEW RULERS CHOSEN BY SMALLEST STATE San Marino, Wee Independent Sovereignty Hasn’t Room to Fire Cannon. Paris. Special: San Marino, the smallest Independent state in Europe— the confines of the country are so re stricted that the army has never fired Its one piece of artillery for the reason that the projectile would invade foreign soil—has Just elected its rulers for the next constitutional period. The elec tion took place at about the same time that France elected M. Poincare to suc» ceed M. Fallieres to the presidency of France, but it was attended with no excitement, no campaigning and prac tically no uncertainty, and San Marino will now continue with its new regents for a space of six months, when the next election takes place. The grand council of San Marino, composed of 60 members, elect the two rulers who preside over the destinies of the state under the title of captains regent. The regents are chosen by the council without their having even to go through the formality of announcing their candidature. San Marino has existed as a sover eign Independent state since the first dawn of modern history. Its army will never trouble the peace of Europe, con sisting ns it does of a dozen carabinlers and a few customs house examiners. The state, which lies between two prov inces of Italy, has a population of about 10,000 people and an area of 38 square miles. The cannon which Is never fired for fear of International complications, rests in peace in the court yard of the government house. M. Poincare, the president-elect of France, will depart from the customary seclusion of French presidents and ac cept freely such private Invitations as he may desire. The etiquette has been that thp president confine his social life to a small circle of intimate personal friends and to vast official entertainments giv en by himself and paid for out of the $125,000 allowed for that purpose by the government. M. Poincare sees no reason, he says, to live the secluded life of a monarch or to deprive himself of Instructive and pleasant social inter course with his fellow men, and he will do neither. Accepting the definition that seasick ness is due to a vascular vaso-motor spasm and anemia of the nervous sys tem, a Dr. Burwlnkel has tried the use of nitro glycerin as a specific against the illness. Txrv,n«, HApanflv hA ndminlstorpa wnue ax sea recently ne aaramwwi^ to ft number of people suffering from seasickness a tablespoonful of a solu tion composed of 20 drops of nitro glycerin In alcohol and distilled water. The unpleasant symptoms vanished rapidly and completely. It must be admitted, however, that the beneficial effects did not last for very long, and It became necessary to take several doses during the day. There has Just died in Switzerland the engineer whose duty It had been to drive the special imperial train that carried Emperor Nicholas on his Journeyings in Russia. He was pos sessed of a considerable fortune, a re sult of the largess of his master. Although a Swiss, Dominique Hot had been In the service of the Russian railways for 40 years. During the last 15 of them he had driven the emperor's private trains from Moscow to Odessa and to other places in Russia. Hof, who retired a few months ago, would never say more of his experiences than hint at singular dangers he had risked, and the Immense bribes that he had refused from revolutionists and from members of the secret police In their desire to test his uprightness. High Salaries In Business. From the Philadelphia Times. High salaries are not Infallible tests of fitness, but In the business world most of them approximate that description closely. In a day of great accomplishments In making money, the men who possess the power to pile dollar upon dollar for the profit of their associates naturally share liberally In the largess that Is to such a marked extent the product of their own efforts. It Is probably true that "pull” Is less In fluential In such things nowadays than ever before. Shrewd directors and watch ful stockholders are not disposed to heap rewards upon a man because of family In fluence, personal ties or prestige not gained by participation In the business In hand. And If they take money which might go Into their own pockets In In creased dividends and place it to the sal ary account of one of their executive of ficers, they usually, though not always, of course, have a pretty strong belief that It will come back to them with a large Increase. Philadelphia, like other cities In which great enterprises develop, has Its share of high-salaried men. And It has, too, Its share of those whose part In the accre tion of wealth Is less—In some cases, far less—than It would be If Justice were done. The fight against this form of wrong In the business world and all other forms will keep up until the end of time, and It ought to keep up. With a growth of prosperity and material resources In America that Is unexampled In the his tory of the world, the crying need Is to distribute the benefits more widely among those who deserve them. But, while the struggle goes on, let no one be discouraged. What man has done, man may do. Once upon a time nobody doubted that "America spells oppor tunity," but there are many who will In sist that it Is less true now than ever be fore. Yet, If the signs of the times mean anything, they mean that greater oppor tunities will soon be at hand. The rain bow Is in the political and Industrial skies. The man who is sick at heart today from failure to realize his just ambitions may be singing the song of victory tomorrow. Solution of An Old Puzzle, From the Boston Globe. Question: How much may a wife pay for a hat? Answer, As much as she can afford to pay out of the allowance her husband gives her for dressing and adornment. Not a cent more. And she may not have the bill sent to her husbcttd either. At least that Is the solution of the hat question given by Mr. Justice Lynn, of the New York municipal court, who from the bench moralizes thus on love, the home and the hat: "Love should rule the home. Its kindly effects will adorn the house hold better than any hat . . . The bare head of the peasant girl ofttlmes wins more than the bird of paradise feathers on a hat." And speaking of paradise reminds the judge that “Ever since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden the world has never settled the true status” of man and wife, although Moses and the Medes and Per sians tried to regulate It. But the Judge sees hope In woman suffrage: "Perhaps, now that the impediments of the law are to be removed and women are to have an equal part In making government, the solution will come.” Meanwhile married folks will have to get along on what the diplomatists call a "modus Vivendt," and although generally a man Is responsible for the debts his wife contracts, she ought not to Involve him in financial difficulties by her extravagance. In the words of Mr. Justice Wauhope Lynn, "Love should rule the home.” FAIRY PALACE8. Do you know what fairy palaces you may build of beautiful thoughts, proof against all adversity? Bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot disturb nor pain make gloomy; houses built without hands ror our souls to live In.—John Ruakln. TRUCK GARDENING AND POULTRY RAISING THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER MIXED FARMING BRANCHE8, PAY IN WESTERN CANADA. Truck gardening and poultry grow ing are two branches of agriculture in which the farmers near the main lines of the three transcontinental lines traversing Western Canada are much concerned. The abundance of sunshine during the long days from May to September, and adequate mois ture in the spring and early summer permit of a wide variety of crops. The soil is rich and warm and is easily worked. Close attention to cultiva tion has resulted in record yields of all sorts of vegetable and small fruits which bring good prices in the cities and at the numerous railway construc tion camps. Mr. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer, came from South Dakota eleven years ago and homesteaded the first 160 acres in his township in 1902, which was divided between grain and pas ture. He earned sufficient money to buy a quarter section of railway land at $11 an acre. The half section netted proportionate profits and he gradually Increased his holdings to 1,920 acres, which was devoted to mixed farming last year. He values his land at $60 an acre. Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 125 hogs and a similar number of beef cattle each year. He has 200 hogs, mostly pure bred Poland China, 25 head draft horses and 35 head of pure bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar ley to hogs he estimates that the grain nets him 80 cents a bushel, as com pared with 40 cents, the average mar ket price when delivered to the ware house. His average crop of barley is 40 bushels to the acre, while oats av erage 80 bushels.

The almost unanimous verdict of ancient and modern times is to the ef fect that Julius Caesar was what Shakespeare calls him: "The fore most man of all this world.” Never before or since has any one exhibit ed In so high a degree all the qual ities of a born ruler of men. And never had any man a grander role to play. To preside over the most Im portant crisis in the history of the most important branch of the human race was a task that none by the greatest of men could successfully perform. Caesar swept one obstacle after another aside, and stood at last where he meant to stand. Willie Discovered a New Game. They had lived In a flat all of Wil lie’s Short life, so that the little boy’s knowledge of fauna and flora was limited to canary birds and flower boxes; and when they went to board in the suburb where there was a large yard, Willie very enthusiastically start ed in pursuit of a chicken, armed with a stick and other missiles. When the hostess protested to his mother, she turned from the window and said, indulgently: "You’ll have to forgive dear Willie —he doesn't know that’s a chicken. Some people seem to lie unneces sarily in order to keep In practice. What They Trueted. Having ascertained his weight on the railway station weighing machine the man said to the porter: "Isn’t It a lack of business foresight to put one of those machines that dis tributes prizes to persons who guess their own weight correctly, bang up against other scales that they could get weighed on before hand, and thuB guess on a sure thing? You must have great faith in human nature, you?" "Oh, no, sir,” said the porter, "but we have in the machine.” — 11 ini | CASTORIA At- 1 For Infants and Children. | The Kind You Have if Always Bought “S ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT • !{• AWfietable Preparation for As jj gSraSS Bears the 1 Signature | of t s 5? 8 >ih $ f.o fl i I I I |_ 8 H Guaranteed under the FoodaiW Exact Copy of Wrapper. m o.ntaua oommnv. «•» >»« ««.
