THE DARK
CONTINENT
Mrs. Mahoney Enter
tains W0man's Board
of Missions.

The Woman's Board of Missions
met yesterday afternoon in Central
Union church and all present had an
entertaining and blessed time.
The exercises started with the sing
ing of Hymn PSI which the good la
dies present sang with remarkable
vigor.
Mrs. Doreuus Scudder then read
that portion of the scriptures so in
spring to missionary workers, com
mencing Acts viii, %.
Mrs D. l. Wilmington offered
prayer.
Miss N. l. Shelley reported as sec
rotary and the treasurer of the board,
Mrs B. F. Dillingham;. communicated
the joyful news that the society had
at present s353.77 in its treasury.
At this point a collection was taken
up and judging by external indica-
tions, the enterprise was blessed with
an abundant measure of success
Mrs. F. A. s Gulick and Mrs. Mar
garet Super were welcomed as new
members.
The president remarked that much
encouragement was to be found in the
fact that new names for membership
were prese nted at every meeting. The
fees, by the way, are dollar year
or ten dollars a lifetime.
Mrs. Seudder expressed her regret
that Mrs. Whitney was unable to at
tend on account of sickness. She had
had the privilege of attending the
Haystaek meeting at Williamstown and
Mrs. Seudder was sure that a great deal
of inspiration would be gained by list
ening to Mrs. Whitney's experiences.
Mrs. o. II. Gulick read an instructive .
report on local mission work as did
Mrs Suihara, a japanese worker; be- /
tween and after which hymns were |
sung by some Japanese and Hawaiian !
school girls.
After few words by Mrs Phillip
Frear on mission work on the Ozark
Continent the audience listened to an
and interesting address on
mission work in Siberia by Mrs.
who has lived in Africa and
knows whereof she speaks.
The fair speaker said that even to-

THE TRUTH ALWAYS,

WI hen You are IN doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to a beginner n the work. It
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth TWEEN
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
~ what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties Of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by US from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup Of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts Of
Malt and Wild Cherry. a COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Influ-
enza, Loss of Flesh and Vast
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.

Aids the Farmers.

AS showing still another service
which the Department of Agriculture
has rendered to the business interests
of the country, we note in recent bull
letin that, solely due TO the introduce
ton Of better methods OF collecting
turpentine, there has been an increase
Of 40 per cent in the output, amount
ing to 100000, while the long leaf
pine forests of the Southern States,
from which the American supply of
turpentine is largely obtained, have
at the same time been saved from an
Inhalation. The cost TO the department
Of the service rendered in this instance
was $4,000. This IS one of many cases
which 60 to prove that Of all the
money chat Is being expended by the
federal government In any of its de

than that disbursed by the Department
of Agriculture. For this reason pres
sure should be brought TO bear on our
congressman to make appropriations
for this branch Of the government
work as generous as possible.

Why Young Trees nre Best.

These are the advantages Of plant
inc young trees: They can be train
ed to the desired form better than old
er trees. A two or three-year old tree
Is branched and has had It's head
already formed by the nurseryman; a
yearling tree Of the apple, pear and
sweet cherry Is usually unbranched.
Sometimes the nurseryman has headed
the tree too high or has not been care
full enough about starting out the scat
fold limbs, and 1t IS difficult to correct
the form of the head after it has been
started. There is an unmlstakable
preference for low headed trees, due
chiefly to the need of economy and
efficiency in spraying and harvesting.
The single disadvantage of head
ing Is greater inconvenience in tillage
This Is much more than offset by the
advantages, in the judgment of most
growers. Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
in East has been reduced at least two
feet. The bearing Of this on the mat
ter Of yearling trees is that the grow
err can head yearling tree where he

DISFIGURING SKIN HUMOR.
Impossible to Get Employment, as

Sores-Cured by Cuticura.

Since the year 1894 | have been
troubled with very bad case of
eczema which l have spent hundreds
OF dollars trying to cure, and | went
to the hospital, but they failed TO cure
me, and 1t was getting worse all the
time. Five weeks ago my wife bought
box of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake Of Cuticura Soap, and ! am
pleased to say that | am now com
pletely cured and well. 1t was impoS-
sible for me to get employment, as my
face, head and body We're covered with
it. The eczema first appeared on the
top of my head. and it had worked all
the way around down the back of my
neck and around to my throat, down
my body and around the hips. 1t itched
so ! would be obliged to scratch it,
and the flesh was raw. | am now all
well, and | will be pleased to recon-
mend the Cuticura Remedies to all per-
sons who wish n speedy and perma-
nent cure of skin diseases. Thomas

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST

The American Settler Is Welcomed
to Canada.
A number Of the leading newspapers
on this side Of the line have been no.
ticing the growth of the Canadian
West In recent years, and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement Of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow
There were ALA homesteads entries
there in July OF this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest Is the, statement
that Of these AHA homesteaders, 1,212
were from this side of the line. Little
is said about the 81 Canadians who re-
crossed the border to take up homes

Great Britain, or of the 1926 from

the item in this July report that makes
Canada rejoice most Is this Of the 1912
American farmers who decided to try
their fortunes in Canada West.
'-rhe compliment is deserved. The
1.212 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming States, and 60 into Can
ada fitted better than any other class
Of immigrants for developing the new
country. They take capital with them,
too, say Canadian papers proudly. In
every way they are welcome over
there"
AS the Express we'll says, the Amer
lean is welcomed to Canada, and the
reasons given are sufficient to invite
the welcome. The American farmer
knows thoroughly the farming condi-
tons that prevail in the Canadian prai-
phase of agricultural development in
recent years. In practical knowledge
of what is wanted to get the largest
return for labor and investment he is
settler. He knows what is required to
bring success, and he Is able and Will
ing to do 1t, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer.
The agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where says that the difference be-
tween the manners and customs of the
farmer from Dakota, Oregon or Min
nesota and the farmer from Manitoba.
Saskatchewan or Alberta is not nearly
so marked as that between the farmer
of the Maritime provinces and the on
tario tiller of the soil Hence the well

Weiss beer is a thin beer, produced by
rapid fermentation. Lager beer ia pro-

toxicating except when taken in very
large quantities.
Weiss beer has been known to have a
SOLDERING effect, and for that reason has
been called Montag beer, or Monday
beer, being a favorite beverage with
those Germans who devoted Sunday to
merrymaking. Among Americans weiss
beer thin, bitter, acrid, pale, non-stimu-
lating and watery, has had very little
popularity at any time. Unlike lager
