UURIER'S ACT A SURPRISE Sudden Dissolution of Parliament by the Opposition Was Entirely Unlooked for.'' Ottawa, Ontario. Readjustment of political plans and preparation for the campaign throughout the domin ion over reciprocity with the United 3tates have characterized the last week when the Laurier government dazed most of its own followers and the opposition by the sudden disso lution of parliament. The extent of the suprise is indi cated by the fact that few members were ready to leave for their con stituencies to seek reelection, and the last groups are now leaving Ot tawa. Meanwhile tons of printed mat ter have been mailed, the franking privilege having been extended one week. Little election machinery is in run ning order, the contest having been precipitated a year before its normal time a general election being re quired every five years. Nominating cenventions, however, are scheduled and the naming of candidates will be completed in a month. It is the evident purpose of the op ponents of reciprocity to divert at tention from it as much as possible. But the government and its sup porters will insist that on the elec tion six weeks from now every ballot shall be morally a decision whether there snail be reciprocity with the United States. On deciding the peo ple will determine whether Sir Wil frid Laurier shall continue to be prime minister or whether he shall be replaced by R. L. Boraen, the op position leader. Prominent members of the govern ment express increased confidence that the new parliament to be opened in October by the new governor-general, the duke of Con naught, will make lis initial act the ratification of the reciprocity agree ment. The opposition asserts that the crest of a tidal wave of anti-reciprocity sentiment has been sighted j and that the conservative and French nationalist majority in the new par liament will kill the pact. President Taft is almost as great a personality as Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the present campaign, and it is safe to say that his utterances on recip rocity will be more often quoted throughout the provinces the coming weeks than those of Sir Wilfrid or Finance Minister Fielding.

The state treasury was enriched by the purchase of $30,000 of Chad ron water bonds, $10,000 of water bonds of the village of Osmond and $12,000 of school district bonds from Dakota City. The bond clerk returned $50,000 of Sidney water bonds to that city. These securities were not sold to the state, but have been placed elsewhere.

"No, I don't think there is a more beautiful girl In the world than you." "There are other girls you think are just as beautiful, though." "You are more beautiful than any other girl I ever saw." "I suppose there are plenty of girls whom you consider almost as beautiful as I am." T think you are far more beauti ful than any other girl that ever breathed." "Well, why didn't you say that In the first place?" "That was what I meant, if I didn't exactly say so." "O, well, go on. My goodness! Must I suggest everything nice that you say to me?"

She Is so honest that if you throw any thing that looks to be worth a cop per into the waste basket you have to tag it 'Destroy this,' or she will fish it out and put it back on your desk night after night, no matter how badly you want to get rid of it.

STRONGER THAN MEAT A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts. A gentleman who has acquired a ju dicial'turn of mind from experience on the bench out in the Sunflower State writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food. He says: "For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature in ouq bill of fare. "The crisp food with the delicious, nutty flavor has become an indis pensable necessity in my family's everyday life. "It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pier from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and unwholesome food. "Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect physical condition as a preventive of disease it is beyond value. I have been particularly impressed by the benefi cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. "As to its nutritive qualities, my ex perience is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which Is an impor tant consideration for anyone. It sat isfies the appetite and strengthens the power of resisting fatigue, while its use involves none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow S meat breakfast" Name given by postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

SBBBBBBsV IsBBBBSh lF D0K1KUE MAKING GOOD CIDER VINEGAR Process Is Simple and Involves Very Little Work Cleanliness Is First Important Factor. (By S. M. MILLER.) There are many apple orchards, es pecially' those that have never been 3prayed or cultivated, in which large luantities of apples are allowed to go to waste every year. Such fruit makes a good grade of cider vinegar, and a handsome profit an be made In utilizing it in this way. Even if one sprays and cultivates the orchard regularly each season and Joes everything possible to prevent having anything but marketable fruit there will always be a good many :ulls. However, do not allow these unmer chantable apples to go to waste. Make cider vinegar from them and get a good price for the product right here at home. Making cider vinegar Is very simple. There is practically no labor attached K it other than extracting the juice from the apples. Perfect cleanliness first, last and all the time is a matter of vital impor tance. Apples that are picked up from the ground are usually dirty and should be thoroughly washed before being placed In the cider mill. The mill and all utensils used in the making must be kept well cleaned if a good product is to be made. To use unclean fruit or unclean vessels sim ply invites bad fermentation. If all sorts of germs which are found 3n dirty and decayed fruit are put in the cider a good quality of vinegar must not be expected. Where one has no mill the fruit can be pulped by hand with wooden mauls In a wooden trough, and where only a sufficient quantity of vinegar is want ed for home use It Is not a difficult matter to secure it in this way. The best receptacles in which tc put the cider are molasses kegs or barrels, preferably those which have held vinegar previously, since fermen tation commences sooner when the fer menting organism is present than when it must find its vay into the liquid from outside mediums. To made a good grade of vinegai two factors are essential during the process of fermentation. First, th air must have free access to the liquid to support the organism. Second, the temperature must be favorable for the growth of the fermenting agent The barrels or kegs should be placed In a room where the temperature will be fairly constant at 70 to 75 degrees, placed on their sides in order to give more surface to the atmosphere, and filled with the juice to within six in ches to eight inches of the bunghole. HANDY LITTLE GRAPE PICKER Device Is Artificial Thumb Nail, Helc! on By Means of Plate and Makes Picking Simple. The thimble device shown in the il lustration is in reality an artificial thumb nail with which to pinch Grape Picker. bunches of grapes from the vine. It Is secured to the thumb by means of a plate and strap, and makes picking simple and quick. KEEP THE LAWN BEAUTIFUL Rake All Moss Out and Cut Dande lions and Plantain Well Below Crowns Plant Borders. Go over the lawn and if you find moss rake It out. Cut well below the crowns of dandelions and plantain. If possible top dress the lawn with leaf mold or thoroughly rotten straw or manure The continuous flowering border recommends itself to the busy house wife who wants a lot of flowers and who has but little time to give to them. Prepare a border two or two and one half feet wide and spade it two feet deep, enriching it with well-rotted manure. Into this border plant all sorts of annuals, perennials and bulbs placing the tall growing ones in the back row and the short ones along the edge of the border. As the years pass the border will grow in beauty and bloom ten months in the year almost. Aerating Grcund After Rain. Cultivation as the plants develop re quires not only care and skill, but forethought also. If the heavy rains have beaten the soil into a hard mass and it is water soaked, it may be nee essary to go as deeply as possible without injuring the roots in order tc aerate the ground properly. Comparing Orchards. If your neighbor's orchard has been sprayed at least twice during the sea son it will interest you to compare the quality and quantity of his fruit witt yours, If yours has not been sprayed.

So we'll have banns published and when the wedding day comes the parson will say to thee: 'Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?' and thou must say: 1 will.' And when he says to me: 'Wilt thcu have this man to be thy wedded husband?" I shall say: T wlnna.' " The day came, and when the minis ter asked the important question the man answered: "I will."

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK "My troubles began along in the summer in the hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. "I tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months' time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now I am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme dies are the best ever made for skin diseases. I would not be without them." (Signed) W. A. Armstrong, Corbln, Kan., May 26, 1911.
