Tenemen.s Improved.

Into the homes of the people light
and air have penetrated, and they have
acquired legal claims. The first census
taken under the new tenement house
law found 361 900 dark and airless
rooms in houses unfit to live in, half
OF them without any windows at all
There are still more han 10000 win
dowless rooms left in Greater New
York: but they are going. When the
last Of them is gone we shall be able
to fight tuberculosis, and win. The
dark halls have been lighted. Life in
the tenements has been made measur-
ably endurabIe and safe. Not in the
ten years since the new law was
passed has a human life been lost by
fire in n of the hundred and odd
thousand buses for lack of can OF
escape or other faults in construction.
In the ten years preceding 1894, 256
persons persisted in tenement house
fires, not counting the firemen who
died in efforts to save them.-Jacob

JIM's PROSPECTS WERE GOOD
Prophecy, However, Reflected Slightly
on Integrity Of Judge of
Flower Show.

The village gossips were discussing
prospects of prize winning at the ap-
preaching flower show. One rather
fancied that Bill Smith would do well
because Bills brother-in-law was en-
ployed at the Hall gardens. Tom
Brown seemed a probably winner, too.
having been seer in the nursery gar
dening districts Of Cheshire at early
morning, and Joe Robinson was notori-
ously friendly with a certain noted
grower who was not showing this
year.
When all. or nearly all, had thus
spotted the winners" an ancient who
had not yet spoken remarked:
"Yo're aw rong; none of them's got
a chance. Jim Jones is t winner"
Jim Jones!" Whats e bin doin'?"
Wen heard nowt abeawt i'm" were
the derisive responses.
But Ell win for aw that" declared
the ancient with conviction, and made
as though that was all he had to say.
Not until his prophecy was fatty de-
MED did he play his trump card:
"Jim's bowt is plants off t Judge"

THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BAEY'S
SKIN

In the care Of baby's skin and hair.
Cuticura Soap is the mothers ia
vorite. Not only is it %unrivaled In
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor irri-
tations, remove redness, roughness
and chafing, soothe sensitive condi-
tons, and promote skin and hair
health generally. Assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, it is most valuable in
the treatment Of eczemas, rashes and
itching, burning ~infantile eruptions.
Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer, often
outlasting several cakes Of ordinary
soap and making its use most eco
nomical.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample OF each

EXPLAINING TeIepathy.

There are numerous well authenti-
Gated cases on record in which per-
sons, suffering a violent death, ap-
peaced as phantoms to persons who
were dear to them at the moment of
death. The emotion which a person
who is conscious suffers at the mo-
mept when a violent death is offered
him in the form of murder or acct
dent, beggars every other emotion.
Science, proceeding on the lines indi-
Gated above. hopes to unravel the
mystery attaching to telepathy, by
showing how the electric currents Of
the air, when impinged upon by the
electric currents of the body at a mo-
ment of supreme emotional excitation,
will transmit that shock over miles
and miles, and deliver it safely to the
receiving instrument in the form of a
other human electric current, attuned
TO the first in some way which science
has not yet explained.

HIS FIRST YEAR AT FARMING
IN SASKATCHEWAN
Win Premiums and Prizes in
Competition With the
World.

There are thousands Of young men
filling positions in stores and offices,
and in professional occupations
throughout the United States, who In
their earlier life, worked on the farm.
The alIurements of city life were at
tractive, until they faced the stern
reality. These people would have
done better had they remained on the
farm. Many Of them, convinced OF
this. are now getting back to the
land" and in the experience, no bet
ter place offers nor better opportunity
afforded, than that existing in Western
Canada. Many of them have taken
advantage of it, and there are to be
found today. hundreds Of such, farm
ing in the Provinces Of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The con-
aitions that surround farming opera
tions today are 30 much superior TO
those in existence during their early
farming days, that there is an attrac-
ton about 1t. Improved machinery,
level and open plains, no rocks to
shun, no trees to cut down, but wide
stretches with m%ile-long burrows, ele-
vators to handle the grain, railways to
carry it to market, and bring almost
to their doors the things necessary to
operate. Splendid grazing areas, ex-
cellent opportunities for raising cattle.
These things are all SO different from
what they once were that there is rea-
o to speak of the attractions. K. II.
Crossman of Kindersley, Saskatche-
wan. the man who won such splendid
prizes at the International Dry Farm
ing Congress held at Tulsa, Oklahoma,
last fall. grew the prize grains during
his first yea farming. Up to 1918 he
vas an engineer and the only knowl-
edge he had of farming was that OBJ
tanned when he was a boy. That was
very useful; in fact it was valuable
to him. He had not forgotten it.
Thousands with as little experience as
he had can do well by taking up n
of the 160-acre grants offered by the

PRESIDENT CRITICISED IN 1913

One hundred years ago President
Madison sent his annual message to
congress. Public feeling was running
high and the administration was be-
ing severely censured for its conduct
of the war. The opposition sentiment
was expressed in the following sar-
castle editorial printed in the Tren-
ton F~ederalist: we have now before
us the presidents message TO con-
