should wear at least five years on a
kitchen floor, provided, of course. that
the usage is not extremely hard.
In cleaning this floor covering the
fact should be borne in mind that the
dirt is only on the smooth vanished
surface and needs no scrubbing with
soap or other strong agent to remove
it.
Wiping with flannel wrung from
warm water, or half water and half
milk. will remove all germs. A mop
is not good for wiping floors unless a
cloth is used to wipe the Dashboard
and molding after the mopping. II
this is not done the wood soon be-
comes streaked and dirty. A good
furniture polish applied twice a year
will be beneficial to the linoleum.

SEEDING COMMENCED m
WESTERN CANADA,
The Prospects for Large Acreage to
Be SoWn in Wheat.

st. Paul, April "a, 1907.-Word has
been received at the Office of the
Canadian Government in ST. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding opera
tions. The fine weather of the past
few days has taken much of the frost
out of the ground and during next
week there win scarcely be district
in which the seeder is not being oper-
ated. The most optimistic conditions
exist and in all districts the farmers
are busy getting things in shape.
There will be very large acreage
sown in spring wheat, oats and barley.
At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy un-
loading their stock and effects, work
ing night and day in order to get on
their farms and become active agen-
cieS in the effort TO make the year
1907 the banner year in grain produc-
ing in Western Canada. AS compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this. it will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
tions for the present year It is safe
70 say that farmers who get in their
crop before the Goth or oath of May,
will receive magnificent returns. A
number Of those coming in this spring,
who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
in crop Of oats and barley and prob
ably some flax. This, together with
the vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter These early seeding oper-
ations are not confined to one district,
but are spread over a country 900
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment. located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are being
made available for settlers Low rail-
way rates, information and literature
are given on application to the agent,
whose name appears in advertisement

In THE SICK ROOM
SIMPLE DIRECTIONS FOR THE
HOME NURSE.
Proper Way to Make Bed and Change
Linen Without Discomfort to the
Patient-Preparine and Civ
ing Food.

There is one important duty for
the nurse before the patient is ready
to begin her day. The bed must be
made Let us suppose that it is time
for fresh linen. Remove the pillows.
then roll the patient to the edge of
the bed, keeping her still warmly
wrapped in the bath blanket Fold
the exposed part of the lower sheet
over to the middle of the bed; then
gently move the patient across it to
the other side, and pull the sheet
off. Put on the new one in the same
way-one-half at time. Slip on
the fresh pillow cover and put the
pillow under her head. Remove the
bath blanket and quickly replace 1t
by the clean upper sheet, the blank
cts and the spread. And then the
patient lies. as bright and fresh as
morning glory, feeling on the whole
that she has just had a rather good
time.
fast time. IL the invalid is able ia
sit up, the nurse should assist her
to this position by slipping her arm
under her neck, so that the patients
shoulder rests on her own, and her
own hand clasps the body under the
arm. Suppose the nurse is using her
left arm for this. Next. she should
replace it by her right, across the
patients chest this time, to support
her while she uses her left to pile
the pillows high and firm behind.
In the operation she holds the pa
tient much as she would a child in
her lap. The covers should then be
tucked warmly about her form, and a
warm shawl thrown over her should
ers. A little device can easily be
made to take the place of table.
This is merely a light board about
two feet square. with four legs about
ten inches high. Cover this neatly
with cloth and set it across the
patients lap. She will find it far
more comfortable than trying to sup
port her tray in perilous position on
her knees.

EoIdina the liable Cloth.

Table cloths usually wear at the
folds before they begin to show signs
of wear generally. 1t is true that the
folds are not always made in exactly
the same places, even by the same
laundress, but they usually are. and
at any rate the center fold always
comes in the same place. 1t is a good
plan after a time to cut small piece
off one side and one end of the cloth,
for this insures all the folds being
made in new places in the future, thus
givirS the cloth fresh start, says an
exchange.

CHINA FORCES BRITISH OUT.
Picking Syndicate to Sell It's Valuable
Holdings In Shansf.

PEKING. October 31.-The Picking
Syndicate. British corporation holding
the largest concessions China has ever
given, proposes to sell back to the
Chinese government all its holdings In
the Province of Shansi. Its claims Of
sole rights over the immense mineral
fields SO incensed the inhabitants that
it nearly precipitated rebellion there
last year.
This action on the part Of the syndi :
cate Is to some extent due to the. cam
paisn in China against all foreigners
holding concessions, the first results
of which were the recovery by China
of the Hankow-C Canton Railway. which
was an American concern. and the
boycott of American goods. Since then
ceaseless warfare has been waged
by the government upon foreign hold
ers OF concessions, and especially upon
the Picking Syndicate.
The campaign of the Chinese gov
eminent against foreign concessionists
has been successful in recovering some
thing at least OF all the principal con-
cessions given to foreigners since 1898.
