sore eyes and granulated lids is an
eye-tonic, and at little cost YOU can
prepare your own. Get from the drug
gist one ounce crystos and dissolve in
a pint cold water, then put two or
three drops in the eyes everv day.

Some Reasons.

I once did time upon the farm
For Just about a week,
And SO l know the subtle charm
OF things of which / speak,
And am very certain l
Could write a book or so
About the several reasons why
The boys pick up and go.
Well. when the clock is striking four
And soldered are your eyes
The farmer pounds upon your door
And tells you to arise,
And If you do not hustle out
And don your meager stock
OF buds he's back in just about
A minute by the clock.
Then four days work you have to do
Before the breakfast bell
That simple meal is hurried through
A-kiting and pellmell
And then you have to take the steeds
And travel here and there
Among the tall and dewy weeds
And not get anywhere
And after all day on that Job
The hogs must still be fed.
The cows Of milk you have to rob
Before you go to bed.
Too soon the hours of slumber hy.
The morn comes double quick,
That's forty'leven reasons why
The boys refuse to stick.

Reciprocity Campaign
In Canada Is Under Way
President Taft a Factor.
His Speeches Wide
ly Quoted

she west the parties are more evenly
divided. there being CT opposition and
IA government members.
liz Ontario Premier Whitney, head
of the provincial government, is throw
ing his weight against the Laurier
government and the ratification of
reciprocity He and his ministers are
making speaking tours and giving Op-
position Leader Borden the use of
their provincial political organizations.
Liberal governments are in power in
the provinces Of Nova Scotia, Prince
Edward Island, Quebec. Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. They are giving the
government and reciprocity all posi-
BILE aid
Never before has the president Of
the United States been so conspicu-
Gus a figure in Canadian election.
President Taft is almost as great
personality as Sir Wilfrid Laurier in
the present campaign, and his utter
ances on reciprocity are being perhaps
more often quoted throughout the
provinces than those of Sir Wilfrid or
Finance Minister Fielding. Already
extensive use of them has been made
by both sides in parliament. The op-
position has covered several acres of
billboards with them. The views of
Champ Clark and other American
champions Of reciprocity also will fig
ure largely in the speechmaking, as
will the opinion of British statesmen
relative to the effect reciprocity would
! have on British tariff reform and i'm
perial preference.
/ Despite impish cartoons and face
tious speeches to the contrary, the an
nexation bogy is hardly alive. The
opposition will probably renew its eff
forts to convince the people that reci-
! procity really means parting of the
ways" with that phrase variously in
| terpreted. But If Canadians believed
that reciprocity would lead to sever
gnce of the British tie or to absorb
ton by the United States the agree
ment. it Is conceded, would hardly get
favoring vote.
The tendency of the opposition, aft
er forcing an election on reciprocity, to
! depart from discussion of that issue
and get the people to thinking of other
