PLEASES SCHURMAN
Cornell President Sees Good in
 Big Philanthropy Scheme.
Believes Congress Should Grant Re. quest for National Charter Would Change Only One
 Small Detail.

Ithaca. N. Y. In an address before the Council congress on Friday night President Jacob Gould Sehurman of Cornell commended tbe scheme for the Rockefeller foundation Tor which congress has been asked Tor national charter President Schurman devoted his entire sneecb of several thousand words 10 this sub leet and in summing up he sad
 recognize that section No. ? of the bill, which defines the object Of the Rockefeller foundation. authorizes and empowers that foundation To dc any. thIhs anu everything HA:eh reY pro mote and advance human civilization. that is Co say. morals and religion. art and science, manners and social inter- course, and all that concerns the 10. lItical economic and material well being of individuals and communities This k vast field for the exercise of philanthropy
 But NIT. Rockefeller has conceived vast scheme of philanthropy. for the benefit of his fellow citizens and man kind. His character. ability ana or. ganizing skill are adequate guarantees that he will carry out his scheme wisely and successfully. with incal. eulable benefit and blessing to man. kind. l. Is in the interest of the na. tton that he be given d free hand in the exercise of his colossal benef. cence. So long as he is active or his influence remains it would be wise and safe to give the foundation the sort of organization he desires. Keith. CT now nor hereafter does it seem nee essary to limit the scope of his benef. eence, which is coeXtensiye with the efforts of mankind to attain a higher civilization
 The only change 1 would desire to see in the proposed bill is the total or partial elimination of the method of selecting trustees by cooperation The organization might well be left q close corporation, if Mr Rockefeller so de sires. for a generation But after that time l am confident that it would inure both 10 the efficiency of the foundation and to the public welfare-to say noth- ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment Of democracy-if the majority of the trustees were appointed by the presi. dent of the United States. with the advice and consent of the senate, or selected by some other high abiding, governmental agencies that may fairly be regarded as representing the peo pie of the United States. whose vel fare is the primary object of the i'm mense and glorious benefaction"

Not Quite.

"Yonrg man" inquired her father, sternly, will you give her home like the one she has been used to?"
 No replied the truthful suitor. flor there will be no grumpy father to come home and make every one mis- erable by his kicking over trifles and swearing at matters in general. There will be no mother to scold her from morning to night for wasting time merely because she wants to be neat There will be no big brother to abuse her for not doing half his work, and no little brother to make enough noise to drive her crazy when her head aches. There won't be any younger sister to insist on reading some trashy novel while she does all the work. She will not have with me home like she has been used to, not if I can help it.'-Puek

WESTEN CANADAAS
 A GRAIN PRODUCER
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
 ANYWHERE.

Gust Anderson of Maidstone, Sask, was formerly of Minnesota and has been in Central Canada three years. On January 16. 1910. he writes:
 Arriving fifteen miles from Maid. stone, bought a couple of steers from a rancher, as my capital was not large. and with the two oxen brought with me, l broke D acres which l put in crop in 1908 and had to clear some brush. I earned $f5.00 by breaking fifteen acres for a aeighbor and dur, ing the summer l put up hay and hauled timber and put mp houses for other settlers. Notwithstanding a heavy frost on August 12th. had 22fa bushels of wheat per acre and 60 bushels of oats. on 25 acres of wheat ln 1909. I got = bushels of wheat per acre and zoo bushels of oats off 70 acres. Ineyer saw such fine wheat anywhere. 5e nave plenty cf rain between May and August and after August seldom any haf dry warm days. Water can be had at from 20 to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cat tle.s
 The evidence of Mir Anderson is given because it is encouraging to the man of small means who is desirous of bettering bis condition It shows what can be done, and there is really but small limit to the man with push and energy to become wealthy on Canadian lands. And the grain that he raises is good. A press dispatch says:
 The quality of the wheat continues to be the feature of the deliveries. In the total of 3.37S cars in the February inspections there were 2,S47 of high grade stuff, percentage of SIPS. For January the percentage was S2.21, and for the six months it was 8S.G. This is an unusually high average, and it demonstrates beyond the shadow of a doubt that the farmers in this part of the Dominion still know how to grow first-claSs wheat. The crop of 1908 was considered good enough, and it's average of contract wheat was only 70 Der cent. Good weather throughout the season was an impor- tant factor of course, in insuring the high quality of the grain, and it is not likely that atmospheric influences of so favorable character will be en- eoHntered for a long time to come. The best that can be expected is that a fair average for term of years will be maintained.

POSTUM FOR MOTHERS The Drink That Nourishes and Sup plies Food for Mother and Child.

My husband had been unable to drink coffee for several years, so We were very glad to give Postum a trial and when we understood that long boiling would bring out the delicious favour. we have been highly pleased with it.
 Tt is one of the finest things for nursing mothers that l have ever seen. It keeps up the mothers strength and increases the supply of nourishment for the child if partaken of freely. l drank it between meals instead of wa ter and found 1t most beneficial.
 Our five-year-old boy has been very delicate since birth and has developed slowly. He was white and bloodless. I began to give him Postum freely and you would be surprised at the change. When any person remarks about the great improvement, we never fall 10 tell them that We attribute his gain in strength and general health, to the free use of Postum and this has led many friends to use it for themselves and children.
 T have always cautioned friends to whom 1 have spoken about Postum, 10 follow directions in making it, for unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty minutes, 1t is quite tasteless. On the other hand when properly made, it is very delicious. I want to thank you for the benefits we have derived from the use of your Postum."
