Sinplest Way of All.

The following story the Saturday
Evening Post says is told of Col.
George W. Goethals, who at the time
It took place was an instructor in en-
gineering at West Point.
One day, in recitation, he gave out
this question to class of cadets
"The post fagpole, sixty feet high,
has fallen down. You are ordered by
your commanding officer to put it up
again. You have under your command
a sergeant and ten privates of the en-
gineer corps. How would you get the
pole back into place."
Each cadet, after long consideration
and much figuring over the derricks
blocks, tackle and so on, evolved a
different method.
NO" said Goethals, you are all
wrong You would simply say; Ser
geant, put up that flagpole!'"

Rhubarb PIE,

The rhubarb pie as made In the
home of a conscientious woman is a
distinct impulse toward better and
more efficient life. Properly made,
with the lower crust just as fiaky as
the top one, and with the pieces OF
rhubarb sort of halfway preserved in
delicious sirupy Juice, so that when
a piece is cut the juice oozes out into
the dish and the crust dips into 1t and
becomes affiliated with it, then rhu-
barb pie is just about as good as real
apple pie. In those circumstances 1t
well merits the honest old name OF
'rhubarb."
But the rhubarb pie Of commerce!
A juiceless, tasteless, hopeless, greeny'
grayish compound between two paste
boards! 1t tastes more like grass
than rhubarb. 1t ruins the digestion
it blasts the hope and it sears the soul
with scornful meditation.
And to heap insult upon injury, 1t is
usually billed as home made"
We are becoming a nation of eaters
away-from-home, and Americas one
purely national institution, pie, is laps
ing into desuetude. Alas!

Important to Mothers
Bears the
Genuine Maple SUGAR.

There are few people outside the
maple sugar making districts, says a
writer in the Country Gentleman, who
really know what the genuine article
tastes like. The superior flavor thus
spoken of is probably due in degree
to the same causes that make straw
berries eaten off the vine and cherries
consumed on the tree so delectable.
The writer quoted, however, puts
some of the blame for the poor flavor
of commercial maple sugar on the

pVe seen dramatic incidents
In shows that cost me thirty cents
And shows that cost one-and-a-half;
Some made me weep, some made me
laugh.
I'VE seen the villain slammed in Jail
without a friend to go his bail,
And when the act was done, somehow,
Come out of Jail and make his bow!
I've seen the pale young heroine
Who had escaped the lures of sin
And saved her poor old fathers hide
While all were watching, tearful-eyed-
I've seen her leap from a high cliff
And heard the bass drum go ker-bif!
Then up the curtain came, and she
Bowed calmly there for all to see.
I've seen the hero say farewell,
And stop a moment Just to tell
How far away he meant to go
To win some wealth and fame, you know
I've seen him leave the old home place
While tears were running down each
And in a minute he returned
To take the CALI for which he yearned
But, best of all, saw last week
The incident of which I'll speak.
Poor Shakespeare's work was being
done
The curtain quickly down was run;
Then up, and to the cheering crowd
]. Caesars corpse got up and bowed,
And then lay down and died some more
tpd then got up for an encore!

Antidrudqery Club.

Six women in Chicago have organ
lied a club to lessen household cares
The club is the possessor of an elec'
trio vacuum cleaner, one electric
washing machine, two electric irons
and a fan for drying the washing.
The only dues are those required
for the upkeep of these labor savers
and this amount has been estimated
to be about three cents week. The
initiation fee consists of the price OF
the apparatus divided into six equal
parts.
The members arrange their work SO
that a small boy may take the ap'
paratus around to each in turn. They
live in one neighborhood, so the af'

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March 23,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
"At the present moment eight ship
loads of European immigrants are
afloat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with US during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There is no such startling rec
ord of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised.
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t is because Canada Is
following In its neighbor's footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which its neighbor Is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of $39OO0,00O, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits OF
$3S 100000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find single road allot-
ting ten millions for work Of its own
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
"a ST. Paul dispatch says that with
in a fortnight two thousand carloads
of farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first crop"

STORMS TO PREDICT SELVES
Wireless Stations to Be Used to Make
Tempests Send Their Own
Warning Ahead.

Storm centers move usually in an
easterly or northeasterly direction.
Hence the prediction of storms on the
Atlantic coast is possible, since most
of them come from the Mississippi
valley. Some come up the coast from
the Caribbean sea, but even in this
case we have no warning.
But western Europe is less fortu-
nate. Its tempests come from the At
lantic, and with little warning. Euro
pean weather men have made as much
as possible a study of the paths of
American storms across the Atlantic
and are sometimes accurate In pre-
dieting the time Of their arrival; the
same has been done with storms COM
ing up from the South Atlantic.
But it often happens that storms
vary either their route or the rate OF
movement, so that predicting cyclones
on the coast of western Europe is
more or less guesswork.
AS possible help in this respect
Director Andre of the Lyons observa-
tory is making a deep study OF the
galvanometer records Of various wire
less telegraph stations.
He has found that the antennae are
sensitive to any stray electric currents
as we'll as to messages, and he hopes
to discover a way to make the storms
telegraph their own warning ahead OF
their arrival
Every storm is accompanied by cleo
trical disturbances, and already M.
Andre has accumulated a mass of evil
dence to show that each storm in this
way gives warning. Just how to read
this evidence is the problem to which
he is devoting himself.

BABY'S ECZEMA AND B0ILS

change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter When he was about seven months
old, all trace of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which / cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time Of teething and from the time
/ dropped the Doctors treatment,
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head mass Of silky curls.

be well, and l feel that l owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies"
