HOPE TO RAISE LARGE SUM
to Be Sold for Anti-Tuhercu-
losis Work.

Few people have any idea of the
magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign. This year over 100,-
100000 seals have been printed and
distributed. If placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 2,400
miles, or practically from New York
to Salt Lake City. They have been
sent to over $4,000 different agents
and will be sold and handled by an
army of not less than 100000 volun-
teers, including men, women and chill
dren. Millions of advertising circu-
lars have been scattered throughout
the country, and so thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or
ganized that it is doubtful if many
people in the more populous states
of the country will not have heard of
the Red Cross seal and it's mission in
the prevention of tuberculosis. 1t is
hoped that at least 50,000,000 seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
is needed to cover the actual cost of
printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commu-
nifty where the seals are sold.

HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BLACKHEADS

For pimples and blackheads the fol-
lowing is a most effective and eco

do not rub. Wash off the Cuticura
Ointment in five minutes with Cuti-
cura Soap and hot water and continue
bathing for some minutes. This treat
ment is best on rising and retiring,
At other times use Cuticura Soap
freely for the toilet and bath, to as

Household and Mental Order.

Froebel, father of child-study," said
that inward clearness proceeds from
outward order" and there is truth
enough in the observation to give food
for thought to the careless, untidy
mother and father. Froebel's saying
was connected, no doubt, with his in
sistence that the child's play and work
materials in the kindergarten should
be taken out in perfect order and SO
returned at the close of the exercises,
and DR.. Montessori, the Italian educa-
zionist, whose method is working a
change in the teaching of children, re-
quires the same thing in her Houses
of Childhood" There must indeed be
a potent influence in an orderly, pune
tual, wisely-administered household,
and there is no question that children
brought up in such an atmosphere dc
show clearness in their mental pro-
cesses. Fortunately this is an infiu-
ence which is Independent of riches or
poverty and so can be exerted by any

week are insured without cost to
tnem. Contributions are not maid nv
tne workman during sickness or unem-
ployment and cease entirely when he
reaches the age of seventy years. The
act makes it illegal for the emnlover
TO deduct his own proper contribution
from the workers wage; he must de-
quot only the workers share. A spe-
clal provision modifies contributions in
cases where employers maintain their
Workpeople in sickness. Men and
women of all ages up to sixty-fye
years are treated alike in respect to
contributions. Insurance cost is no
more at forty years Of age than at
sixteen. The age handicap, necessari-
ly imposed by private insurance com
panies, is entirely absent from the
British scheme.
What are the benefits?
The member of parliament from
Northampton, H. B. Lees Smith, and
the managing director of a great
wholesale establishment of London,
Wilkie Calvert (brother of DR.. Sidney
Calvert, professor of chemistry at the
University of Missour), summarized
these benefits:
Sickness and Other Benefits.
The workman pays eight cents a
week or less. His benefits are the
same whatever he pays. These bene-
fits include free medical attendance
and free medicine, sickness benefit,
disablement or inyalidity pension, ma
ternity benefit, sanitarium benefit.
Free medical attendance and free
medicine are provided to the worker
who becomes i'll. This provision has
been sharply attacked by the British
doctors. The sickness benefit varies
in amount. Ordinarily it is $3.50 a
week for men and $1.75 a week for
women for 26 weeks. Sickness bene-
fits cease at seventy years of age,
when the old age pension becomes
payable. If sickness continues long
er than 26 weeks, $1.25 a week is paid
during the remainder of the sickness,
however long it may be. Provision is
made for certain reduction in benefits
when members are in arrears with
their contributions, but no one is sus-
pended from medical, sanitarium and
maternity benefits until more than 70
weeks in arrears. Insured women,
married or unmarried, and the wives
of insured men, whether insured or
not, receive a maternity benefit 81

THOUSANDS OF
AVAILABLE HOMESTEkDS
Western Canada's Homestead
Area Being Increased.

The great rush for homesteads
whenever a reservation is opened by
the u. S. government reveals the fact
that there is a great desire on the
part of the American people to get
land. The fact that tens of thousands
are on hand at every opening, and on
ly few hundred homesteads are
available shows that the avail
able agricultural lands which are
in the gift of the government are rap
idly diminishing. In addition to this
agricultural lands that are of proved
value have advanced in price to such
an extent that it becomes serious
question to the man with moderate
means who intends to go into farming,
where he shall go. Fortunately there
is yet to be had in Western Canada,
either in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta, thousands of free homesteads
OF 100 acres each, which may be had,
by the simple process of filing, paying
a ten dollar entrance fee, and living on
It for six months each year for three
years. There is no necessity to make
only to find you have one chance in
fifty of getting what you want. AL
though this demonstrating has been
going on in Canada for a number of
years, and hundreds of thousands of
them have been taken by hundreds of
thousands of Americans, there re-
mains sufficient to last for some time,
and of as good land as any that has
yet been taken up. In fact, in the
opinion of very many, those that are
left are of the best. They comprise
lands that give the opportunity to in
dulge in the growing of grain, wheth-
er it be wheat, oats, barley or flax,
but in addition these lands are admir-
ably adapted for mixed farming,
class of farming that is certain to give
better returns than that of all grain
growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on
the nutritious grasses; dairying can
be carried on successfully; timber for
building is within reach, and water is
easy to get. These lands are located
in the park districts of any of the
three provinces; groves of trees in
tersperse the landscape and give it a
beauty that can only be attained in
the more open prairie sections by the
planting of trees. Tree culture by the
way is being carried on to u great ex-
tent. Besides these free grant lands
there are lands which may be had by
purchasing from railways and private
companies and individuals. These
lands have not increased in price ais
their productive qualities and their To-
cation might have warranted, and may
still be had at reasonably low prices
and on easy terms. The crop in West
ern Canada in 1913 was one of the
best of the number of good crops that
that country has raised. Wheat has
been reported with yields of from 80
to As bushels per acre, and other grain
with like heavy yields.-Advertise
