SUNSHINE AND GOOD EALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrate HUI
man Life Is Quickened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight. with its mellowing
warmth and radiance. is one OF the
great essentials to good health. Where
ever 1t penetrates, in prudently regu-
lated moderation, 1t quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness,
and may be truly regarded as one OF
the best friends of man and beast.
The common practice of providing
blinds, shutters. curtains and other
means for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, Is undoubt-
eddy a great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and i'll health More
window light, more sunshine, and not
less, is what we require. Let all your
apartments. kitchen. sitting rooms,
parlors and bedrooms, too be flooded
with sunlight as much as possible.

Strong love and longing for her Wild

for 25 years, prompted dying woman

buried in the PARKWAY burial ground

of the South Hebrides. The coffin
was taken by rail to Kyle OF Lochalsh
and thence by steamer TO Portree,

What is regarded by the depart

Canada thus far accomplished was
completed when the department for
mally delivered the commission to
the three members of the interna-
tional joint commission, which Is
hereafter TO deal with all issues be-

tribune are delegated powers which,
ii is believed, will obviate all employ
ment of the circuitous routes of all
former negotiations which have been
conducted by way of Downing street,
and will make possible a directness
of communication and conference
which. with the obvious community OF
interest between the Dominion and
the United States, will doubtless
forstall serious disagreements. The
commission is created under the
terms of the treaty with Great Bri-
tain ratified May 5, 1910.
The American commissioners are
Thomas H. Carter, former senator
from Montana, and member OF the
committee on foreign relations;
James A. Tawney, former chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tons. and long one of the leaders OF
the house of representatives, and

Wanted His Old Rooms.

A man well known in sporting cir

day from spending six months In Eu-
rope and got the same rooms in his
hotel he had had before going abroad.
So anxious was he before he went
away to retain the rooms. which he
said just suited him. that he paid
three months rent in advance. The
manager offered to give him the
rooms when he returned if they were
not occupied, but that was no assur
ance to him. He said he would pay
three months rent in advance any
how just to keep the rooms vacant
and if he stayed longer in Europe he
would pay rent for the rest of the
time when he got back. And he did

NO GROUND FOR DIVORCE
Absence Of Pie and Cake In Household
Did Not obtain judicial
Separation.

Is the lack OF pie and cake In q
home for four long months a cause for
divorce? And is 40 cents day too
lily of two?
These intricate problems OF domes-
tic science were put squarely up to
Judge o. A. Lucas of the circuit court
in the divorce suit which Alexander
Herbach had brought against Cathe-
dine Herbach. Judge Lucas. however,
was not disposed to rule hastily on the
pie question. and was inclined to say
that the enjoyment of pie largely Is a
matter of digestion. He refused the
divorce after the wife, in testifying,
had made the pie assertions.
1t was a mail order" romance, this
of the Herbachs, and the court refused
to exchange unsatisfactory goods Mrs.
Herbach that was to be and still is,
was living on farm in Iowa. She
grew weary of the single life, and ad-
vertised for partner The ad which
asked for a loving. gentle, kind and
generally householder husband,

hotel near Twelfth street and Broad

letters-to have something OF this

An SO they were married. At this
point, where romances usually end,
this one only fairly starts.
This is what Mrs. Herbach had to
say on the witness stand about their
married life:
Even on my wedding day. Mr.. Her
bach would not go to breakfast with
me- He didn't even give me carfare to
get home. He said

for things we had to have to eat. II

GOOD ROAD ERA HAS BEGUN
Once Constructed, Highways Should
Be Looked After Regularly
Preventative 10 Needed,

The good road era has begun In
many states, and already the steam
roller. the piles of crushed rock along
the roadside and the digging out Of the
original roadway are familiar sights in
many of the eastern states. The,
roads built are generally of approved
macadam construction, which, COM
pleted. are perfect strips of white rib
bon running through the green fields
and hills of the rural sections.
These roads are perfectly built. and
as soon as completed the farmers and
other ratepayers contentedly sit back
and exclaim: These roads are now
good for generation or more without
trouble" This is serious error, and
one being made In many states. That
1t is an error is borne out by the dust
cloud raised by passing car travel
ing at 20 miles per hour. or perhaps
faster.
Many fail to realize that whenever
dust is raised road is being de-
stroyed. says the Motor Age. This is
particularly the case on smooth mac
adam surfaces. where there is nothing
to hold the dust on the road. and
where every cross wind blows OF any.
loose material.
As soon as roads are built arrange
ments should be made to keep them in
repair. With roads 1t is essentially "a
stitch in time saves nine" Some dust
preventative should be used immedi-
ately macadam roads are completed,
In order to prevent dust.
OIL, tar and many special prepare.
lions are now on the market, and the
communities should be educated. TO
looking upon these additions as de-
climate part of the road maintenance.

which motoring Is pleasure to the
motorist and not dustbath to the cit
izen who happens to be on the road

tune to reside along a well-traveled

Massachusetts proved last year that
road treatments are a success and
more economical than continuous an.
plications Of water; and in England
dust preventing is always considered a
part of the road problem.

Oats and corn, especially, do well
after beets.
Manure is valuable by.product-
don't waste 1t.
Filth and vermin go hand in hand
no excuse for it.
The early garden is usually the best
and most satisfactory.
A silo does not greatly change the
character of the nutrients in the corn
plant.
Surely the farmer who begrudges
his bees little time and care is un-
grateful.
Small grains will do well when
seeded on fields preceded by sugar
beets the year before.
Better and cleaner seed is good
naxim-get a tanning mill. They save
their cost In one season.
When you are thinking of buying a
farm remember the water is an impor.
tant item for your live stock.
When you are manuring don't be
stingy-a good manure spreader is put
ting money in the bank later en-.
When the corn crop is cut and put
into the silo the field is cleared and
made ready for fall wheat or rye.
When you have decided on your
seeds. order them at once.
Castor oil is splendid lubricant for
vehicles and other farm machinery.
BY the use Of the silo practically the
entire food value of the corn crop is
saved. made succulent and very nutri-
tious.
Study the wants and conveniences Of
the home for the benefit of your wife
and children Just carefully as you
do your own.
Cold frames are handled the same
as the hot beds. the only difference is
that not much manure is used and
that they are later.
