Y., “to poor to be laid up by an accident, “he said, was knocked unconscious when struck in the back in the Pelham road by a motorcycle ridden by Frank Purdy of Port Chester. Birkmer, still uncon scious, was being lifted into an ambu lance, wnen he regained his senses, struggled to his feet and staggered toward his broom. / “Can’t afford to be hurt,” he mut I tered. Purdy and a hospital surgeon forced him into the ambulance. At the hos pital his skull was found fractured. He was prepared for the operating table. A moment later he sprang from bed, tore off the bandages, and, struggling with an interne, strove to reach a doorway. “I must go back,” he faltered. Then he fell unconscious and died.

"Do you think the world is getting better?” "I don’t know anything about it,” replied the melancholy observer. "It seemed to be doing very well for a time, but, judging from the European news, I should say it is suffering a terrible relapse.” No War This Time. Critical Husband—This beef isn't fit to eat. Wife—Well, I told the butcher that if it wasn’t good I would send you around to his shop to give him a thrashing; and I hope you’ll take someone with you, for he looked pret ty fierce, and I didn’t like the way he handled his big knife. Husband—Humph! Oh, well, I must say I’ve seen worse meat than this. Reason for His Belief. "I never saw such a superstitious fellow as Bixby.” “What's his latest?” “Why, he’s been trying all the morning to prove that 1915 is an un lucky year. He’s manipulated the figures 1-9-1-5 with addition, subtrac tion, multiplication, division and the rule of three.” “What has he found that seems un lucky?” “Nothing, except that when he add ed 1-9-1-5 together and subtracted the total, 16, from 1915, it left 1899.” “Yes?” “And that was the year he mar ried.” His Views. Breaking away from the house, the man hurried to his club, dropped into a chair, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He had at last got away from one aunt, three cousins and two second cousins, up-country guests of his wife. • A member sitting near laid aside his paper and asked. “How do you stand on the subject of foreign re lations?” “That is a fair question,” returned the other, "and deserves a fair an swer.

Adrian, Mich. — “I suffered terribly \ With female weakness and backache and ; got so weak that I could hardly do my work. When I washed my dishes I had to sit down and when I would sweep the floor I would get so weak that I would have to get a drink every few minutes, and before I did my dusting I would have to lie down. I got so poorly that my folks thought I was going into consumption. One day I found a piece of paper blowing around the yard and I picked it up and read it. It said ‘ Saved from the Grave, ’ and told what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound has done for women. I showed it to my husband and he said, 'Why don’t you try it? ’ So I did, and after I had taken two bottles I felt better and I said to my husband, ‘I don’t need any more,’ and he said ‘You had better take it a little longer anyway.’ So I took it for three months and got well and strong.” — Mrs. Alonzo E. Baker, 9 Tecumseh St., Adrian, Mich. Not Well Enough to Work. In these words is hidden the tragedy of many a woman, housekeeper or wage earner who supports herself and is often helping to support a family, on meagre wages.

Don’t you think you ought to wait until you know him better?” “No, mum. I’ve tried that several times, and every time the man changed his mind when he got to know me better.” ^From Com jjl to Toasties [| \ —a caP^tal evolution i|| i 1 The ripened kernels of pearly Ilf , 1 white Indian Com with their succu- H i A lent goodness, are cooked, then rolled U - \ 11 into thin, wafery bits, and toasted to n 'd\\ a S°l^en brown. , If - j ml Add a little cream and sugar— I f - nml perhaps some fresh berries—and the fj.n -“dllll comhination smacks wondrous good. fj|l - ’MUM Post Toasties are untouched by ■!

The republican legislature has recently redlstrlcted Ohio In a curious manner Congressional districts have been twisted and turned to suit party needs. The in tentlon was to make 16 districts republican and six democratic. The gerrymander has always seemed es pecially wicked. It was invented as a blow at popular government. Under the referendum law, however, the voters of Ohio, and not the bosses, have the last say. The democratic party of the state has announced that It will ask for a ref erendum. Now the people will be given a chance to pronounce their verdict. The decision will be significant But a woman always stops talking long enough to give a man a chance to propose. j If all women were mind readers ev' ery man on earth would take to the tall timber.

"Is Smith a good accountant?” "He’n so good that none of the gang he com mutes with will let him keep score in a pinochle game.” The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well Known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. Tho rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing leas than a crime to' dose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of Friend In Need. Four-yea r-oltl Donald was out on the lawn, wrestling with a somewhat older boy, and getting decidedly the worst of it.

GIG INCREASE OF FARMPROOUCTS Province of Alberta Shows In crease of Over 20 Millions. Figures just compiled by the public ity branch of the provincial depart ment show that last year, notwith-' standing that quite a third of the prov ince was affected by the drought to a very serious extent, the total value of agricultural products actually pro duced in the province showed an in crease of over twenty million dollar*1 oVer that of the previous year. Al though southern Alberta had a bad year agriculturally, the province as &J whole experienced a period of great prosperity, due principally to mixed farming, which is becoming more gen eral with each succeeding year. The value of mixed farming, in fact, was never better Illustrated than last year as the value of the animals! slaughtered and sold alone equaled the value of the spring wheat crop,! without taking into consideration the value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul try, vegetables, and other by-product* of the farm. Oats was the banner grain crop., 1,147,382 acres being seeded, and pro ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to the acre. Sold at an average of 50c per bushel, these yielded a revenue of> $17,198,558. Comparatively little win ter wheat was produced, the yield be-: ing a little short of one million bush els, but the spring wheat crop •amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the yield per acre being 15.26. At an aver age of $1.35 per bushel, the value of the spring wheat crop was therefore $20,387,812. The total production of barley was 7,847,640 bushels, which, at 65c per bushel, yielded n revenue of $4,316,202. Other productions were as follows: Flax, 207,116 bushels, $310,672.00; rye. 261,843 bushels, $196,392.00; speltz, 42, 707 bushels, $32,030.00; hay, 200,000 tons, $2,500,000; potatoes, four mllliom bushels, $3,000,000; turnips three mil lion bushels, $750,000; carrots, 360,000 bushels, $180,000; mangolds, 640,000 bushels, $320,000; animals slaughtered and sold, $20,000,000; butter and cheese, $1,500,000; milk, $3,000,000; wool clip, 1,300,000 pounds, $100,000; fish, $195,000; game and furs, $600, 000; horticultural products, $150,000; poultry and products, $2,650,000. The total of the agricultural prod ucts is given as $78,516,891, as com pared with $58,098,084 in 1913. The statistics also show that the value of the live stock in the province at the end of the year was $110,044, 630, this being an increase of $7,762, 845 over the previous year. There were 609,125 horses, 750,789 swine, 501,188 sheep, 192,905 dairy cows, 165, 035 other cows, 190,923 beef cattle and 533,020 other cattle.—Advertisement.
