sequence is the people of the cities

provide themselves daily with the
fresh vegetables offered in such pro-
fusion and at such reasonable prices.
A paternal government may be OBJ
jectjonable in some ways, but NUM-
cipai ownership as practised by the
Canadians is good thing for the
small farmr. In many cities the cleo
trio light plant is ownd by the city,
and immense towers are built which
enable the farmer on the most iso-
lated farms in the country, to receive
light and power at a minimum price.
This, in itself is one reason why the
Canadian farmer doesn't care a great
deal about emigrating to this land of
freedom and graft. i
There is also delightful absence
of the commercial spirit, in regard
to the historic mementoes of Canada.
Of course the hack driver, like the
poor, is always with us, but a
splendid system of trolley cars will

In Quebec we see the Roman Cath
Ollie church in all it's strength; i'm
mense churches, monasteries, con-
vents and the like are apparent all
along the line of travel, but Quebec
seems to be the stronghold. One
wonders that the followers Of The
Man OF Peace find it necessary to get
themselves up in the varied garb
which one meets on every turn, and
the skill with which most of them
manage their petticoats, brings forth
almost Involuntary admiration. One
cannot but wonder at the enormous
cost which this army Of religious"
must be to the producing individual,
and while it is true that many of the
mOnasteries are cOmmercialized to a
large extent, there is still the enOr-
nous number of converts and
churches to be supported out of the
community. It was no uncommon
sight to see the nuns going about
from door to door, begging, and al
ways where there were bodies of men
being paid off, on Saturday, there
were two or more nuns, asking aims.
In one of the mOnasteries, across from
Que0ec, six hundred men live "vOwed
to chastity and silence" Six humid
red able bodied men, buried alive,
apart from the world which they
might do so much towards aiding
and bettering-isn't it odd that this
can be done in the name Of religion,
when the Word was given to help all
mankind?
Travel is interesting and broaden

A BOY INTERPRETER
A Young Massachusetts, Swede in Can
ada Twenty Years Ago Wants
to Return.

Twenty years ago, a blond-haired
young Swede, a boy of about 10 years
of age, accompanied party of his
fellow-c ountrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as an inter-
prefer. The party he accompanied 10
Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Homesickness took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for IL years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
when was up in Canada, Calgary
was a small town and so was Edmon-
ton, but I understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line OF
railway made somewhat tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass, there are three
lines Of railway dividing the trade OF
hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
Of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the prairies in all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.
He will not be able to secure home
stead unless at considerable distance
from the town, the three dollar an
acre land is selling at from SIS to $35
an acre. He will find now what was
but theory then, that this land that
was then SO an acre is worth the $50
or $35 that may be asked for it, and a
good deal more. But he will find that
he can secure a homestead just as
good as any that were taken in his
day, and today worth $35 an acre, but
at some distance from line Of rail
way, yet with a certainty Of railway
in the near future, and he will find toe
that he can still get land at SIS to SIS
an acre that will in a year or two be
worth $50 or $35 an acre. Mr.. Nose.

To Have Health, Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
NeceSSary-HOW Best
to Obtain it

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. It lies in health.
In the majority of cases the basis OF
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitualiy con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigeStlbie
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
uuirements, is Dr. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands of women en-
dorse highly Mrs Jennie Snedeker,
1O41 West Monroe St., Chicago, testi-
fies that she is "cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of doc
tor or any other medicine" All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thou
sands of mothers give it to babies and
children. 1t is also admirably suited
to the requirements Of elderly people,
in fact to all who by reason Of age or
infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca
thartics, pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best

Proper Way to Dust.

Everything has to be learned-even
the simple art of busting. The proper
way to dust is to have buster in each
hand, which method is quite necessary
to success, for the buster in the left
hand is needed to prevent finger-marks
when steadying and lifting highly pol
ished furniture.
Each piece of furniture should be
wiped lightly from top downward to
remove the dust, and then, after the
buster has been shaken out of the
window-never over the carpet-the
wood should be smartly rubbed to
bring up polish. Be sure you treat
stuffed cushion with a brush and
buster before dealing with the wood,
otherwise the dust from the upholster-
ed cushion will fly out on to the wood
of the chairs or SOFAS

MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN

Gathered Around Humble House
hold implement.

Durlng the reign of James l., the
metal pins came into fashion. In 1917
a machine for producing entire pins
was invented by an American, Seth
Hunt, but it remained for Samuei
wright, OF Massachusetts, to patent
IN 1874 the wonderful pin-making ma
cnlne which is generally used today.
A certain amount of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
IL was regarded as a charm against,
and also as an implement of witch
craft. witches were supposed to force
their victims to swallow pins. while.
on the other hand, pins stuck in the
heart of an animal and carefully pre-
served were considered the appro-
pirate antidote to evil influences. In
Wales there existed a grim supersti-
ton that toad pierced with pins
would cause the life of an enemy to
W1ther as the poor creature itself slow
ly died. In Russia it is considered
unlucky to meet priest on leaving
a house-a state of affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing a pin
at him; and in Iceland if a man is
suspecting of walking after death,
pins and needles are thr Ist into the
feet Of the corpse.
Readers of Romance will remember
how people were believed to be be-
witched and led to lingering death by
regularly sticking pins into wax eff
gies of them. Even today in the back
country favorite charm" to make
the cream chum into butter is the
dropping of hot pins into it.

the disappearance of most Of the old
fashioned pie shops, such as the ia

Sweeney Todd, "the demon barber"
The itinerant vender of sleeps trot-
tiers has also almost disappeared, as
well as the seller of sandwiches at the
doors of theaters, while the peripatetic
pie has quite vanished from the
streets. In their place we have the

Willow Switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches
The department of agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va.
and some parts of it were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places, and there has been
so smart growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid of the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise of willow cuttings to
make baskets or bottom chairs, but no
smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind of talk. He may be safe on
ly in the assurance of the government
that only one hundred of the cuttings
will be given to one person.-Worces-
