WAS DRIVEN BY STARVATION
Jonsmith's Method of Getting Key
Was Rather Extravagant, but
What Could He Do?

His wife had been spending week
or two at the seaside with her own
people, and Jonsmith had been living
the lone and simple life. But there
was curious look of calm despera-
ton in his eyes when his wife came
back
And presently the wife began to
make discoveries.
Where is" she began. Good
ness! What have you done with my
dresses? And what has happened to
the lawn? What's that black patch In
the center? Why"
Jonsmith took a deep breath, then
spoke bravely and manfully.

for two days, and then you wrote to
say that the key of the pantry was

Business Before pleasure.

Edwin Booth, the BARITONE, tells OF
an experience he had recently in an
Ohio town. He had been engaged to
sing by local chautauqua association
and when he aighted from the train
the chairman met him.
If it rains this afternoon we will
have rehearsal at three o'clock" the
chairman announced to the singer.
IF it doesn't rain the rehearsal win
ne held at five o'clock.
The effect of rain on rehearsals
puzzled Booth and finally he asked the
chairman to explain.
"Well, it's like this" he was told.
"Our pianist drives the sprinkling
wagon. If it rains he won't have to
sprinkle and can be with US at three
o'clock. OF course, if it doesn't
rain he will have to sprinkle and
"Oh. / understand" Booth inter
rupted. IT'S case of business be
fore pleasure"

IL is true that many thousands of
city jewellers who have, in the natur
al love of the country, love for a
home with grounds and gardens are
unable to have what they desire for
various reasons, principally because of
lack of means.
City jewellers are compelled for the
most part to live in flats or apart
ments with never look at trees or
grass. Privacy SO much to be desired
is out of the question because of the
common hallway; and the tramping OF
feet overhead is constant reminder
that the place is not home but mere
ly place to stay
The whole idea of the builders OF
city homes" is to economic space
and get all the rooms possible on a
given piece of ground in order to gain
revenue. All sight is lost of the ar
tistic and everything must bend to the
ore purpose of income The occupants
live along and constantly dream of a
little cottage with few vines and a
garden place in the back yard, and a
place for the children to play where
they will not be under the constant
espionage of janitor with a crouch

expenses in addition to his profit, that

sometime past the Canadian

SIu the previous years figures OF

i' '-,nntatior made by the officials OF

w nv that the largest estimates made
s - oafcials will be beaten and that

C,stos will be reached. AS great an
,.aroase will be shown in the figures
;, those who will reach Canada from
,tber countries this year. The re-

Reference has frequently been made

numbers who are going to Canada,
higb officials in some of the railways
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact. The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of it. What the
farmer thinks of it and what his
friends say of it. James A. Flaherty,
supreme knight of the Knights of Co

short time ago. He says:

sell out my interests in less than two

STEADY HAND.
A Surgeons Hand Should BE the Firm,
est of All.

"For fifteen years l have suffered
from insomnia, indigestion and ner-
vousness as a result of coffee drink
ing" said a surgeon the other day.
(Tea is equally injurious because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
In Coffee.
"The dyspepsia became SO bad that
/ had to limit myself to one cup at
breakfast. Even this caused me to
lose my food soon after ate it.
All the attendant symptoms of in
digestion, such as heart burn, palpita-
ton, water brash, wakefulness or dis
turbed sleep, bad taste in the mouth,
nervousness, ETC., were present to
such degree as to incapacitate me
for my practice as surgeon.

and drinking Postum was simply mar
velous. The change was wrought

normal condition of health was re-
stored" Name given upon request.
