operate to benefit Canada without n
corresponding benefit to the United

the treaty of 1882 with the United
States by denying Jewish citizens OF
this country the privilege extended to
other American travellers Representa-
tive Parsons of New York introduced
a resolution in the House calling upon
President Taft to declare the treaty
void.
Through the injection of the race
question into the hitherto compara-
lively commonplace discussion in the
Senate of the resolution providing for
the election of senators by direct
vote, Senator Root of New York and
Senator Bacon of Georgia lifted that
controversy to plane of almost sen.
sational interest.
Inefficiency. insubordination and
mismanagement have developed in the

result in an upheaval, perhaps in a
reorganization of the entire service.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is thor.

LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere In Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found Intimation of Any
Other Idea.

We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature of the Saviour
~hen we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there is no hint Of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
die of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that ne
saw Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend US to laugh,
on occasion, why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and, further
more, why did he produce SO many
things and people to laugh att

NOT A BRITISH UNIT IN IT
IrisETman Would Not for a Minute
Allow the Possibility of Such
q Thing.

George Mockler has just returned
from an investigation of what coal
is costing some of the other cities.
He brought this story from Balti-
more:
An Irishman there inherited q coal
mine up in the state. He immedi-
ately entered the lists for one of the
big coal contracts and went around
to say a good word for his coal.
The man who was letting the con-
tract heard him a moment, and then
interrupted with:
That's all right, but how about
British thermal units?"
The other, being new to the coal
business, did not know that coal is
rated now according to the British
thermal units in tests.
"Phat's that" he said.
How many British thermal units
are there in your coal?"
The Irishman blinked his eye and
snorted a bit.
British thermal units is it?" he
said. Why, there amt a wan in it.

Of stock should build a silo. The cost
is small. One to hold so to 80 tons
may be built for $40 or $50. Fol fill
ing the silo, corr Is king. Our corn
crop for silage is planted on crimson
clover stubble land, broke as deep as
the top soil extends; W or three
horse plows are used. After blowing,
the land is dragged; then narrowed
three to six times to get it n and
warm. The rows are about forty inch
es wide; corn dropped about eight
inches apart; cultivation is continued
until the crop is too large to work. All
cultivation is done with the Globe har-
row; it is almost a perfect tool. The
yield is seldom under eight tons and
often up to IS tons per acre.
Corn silage is the dairyman's friend,
and every ten-cow farmer should have
silage all winter.
Milo maze, kaffr corn, cat millet
and toesfnte have all been grown on
our farm. Not finding either to be su-
perior to corn or sorghum, either yield
or result from feeding, we have
dropped them out and now depend
with confidence on our reliable friends,
corn and sorghum.

am determined to raise as good crops
of this most valuable clover as Colonel
Carr or Mr.. Vanderbilt have eve had.
We have thrown away more money
buying red clover seed than in any
other way on our farm. We a not
had a decent crop in eight years.
Clover is so good to feed and so good
to help land, we are loath to give 1t
up. We continue to SOW and hope the
next seeding will reward US with a
good crop for our eve failing faith.
A dairyman on a small farm carry
ing eighty to a hundred COWS can
not expect to produce all the forage
required for his stock, but the farm
er who has five to twenty-five head Of
stock cannot afford to neglect the for
age crop; 1t is more valuable than
either cotton or tobacco. Do not neg
lect it.

CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, 1 became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an czema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being infamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise UP and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one TO
rise. After the blister would open
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost UNI
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from n place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This CON
dition continued for foul or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time Of botls and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally 1 decided to try
Cut1cura Remedies, which l did, tax
ing the Cuticura R~esolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time 1 began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until I was
we'll again, and have not had a re-
currence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. I have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

Law, Greenville, O., Jan. II, 1911.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample
