HOW TO GET A NEW DRESS
One Method That is Practlsed is to
JostIe the Hotel Waite-'e
Elbow.

Hotel men in this town have joined
forces to discourage the woman who
deliberately jostles the waiter so that
he spills food on her dress and then
claims damages therefor. According
to a manager, one New York woman,
says the Evening World of that city,
visited five hotels on five successive
evenings, and in each case caused q
bowl Of soup to be upset over her
gown. Hereafter, detectives will keep
an eye on diners and note whether the
waiter or the guest does the splitting.
1t used to be related of ~impecunious
young army officers in London that
when they hadn't the price Of a meal
they went to a swagger restaurant
and toward the close Of an elaborate
dinner slipped a cockroach into the
ice cream. Then, after a tremendous
cutlery, they marched Indignantly
forth, followed by abject apologies
from the proprietor-and, of course,
not a hint about paying for the din,
ner.,
II New York men descend to such
tricks we rarely hear Of it. But we
grieve to note the subterfuge Of a
New York woman when she needs q
new dress.

HIS MIND ON HIGHER THINGS
Scholar Unable to Sit Down and Rea-
son Quietly on Matters of
Everyday Life.

A monument was recently unveiled
to, the memory Of Henri Poincaire, the
famous mathematician and physicist,
who raj a cousin of the president of
France. The occasion recalls a story
or two of his remarkable absent-mind-
edness.
Almost every day Poincaire left his
money lying about somewhere. Final
ly his mother sewed his purse into the
pocket of his coat. But one day,
when he had dressed in a hotel, he
put on his o%vercoat without the coat,
and left that lying on a chair. Need
less to say, he never saw the purse
again.
One evening he was looking in a
closed bookcase for a manuscript.
During the search he set the lamp on
a shelf in the case, and in a moment
of abstraction closed the door of the
cabinet, and sat down in darkness.
After he had %pondered for a time on
the disappearance of the light, he
came to the conclusion that he had
suddenly BECOME blind. That seemed
to him quite possible, since his eyes
were weak, anyway, and he groaned
at the thought Of his deplorable con-
dition. Suddenly, to his surprise, a
stream of light appeared coming from
the adjoining room and he remarked,
with much satisfaction: my sight
seems to have come back again" Not
even then did he think of the lamp in
the bookcase!-Youth's Companion.

DRY SCALE COVERED HEAD

2760 Tamm Ave, st. Louis, Mo-
my little daughters head began with
a dry harsh scale covering it. First 1t
got a white scale over the top and
then it got a dirty brown scab with
pus under it. Her hair came out in
less than a week and her head itched
and bled. She had no rest. l had her
wear a scarf all the time, it looked so
badly. She was SO sore and had such
big brown scabs on her head that the
teacher would not let her attend
school.
I'VE took and had her treated for
three months with no relief. She kept
getting worse until l tried Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap every third day and the
Cuticura Ointment at night. In three
weeks her head was well of sores. Two
cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box
of Cuticura Ointment completely cured
her" (Signed) Mrs. Walter Rogers,

TESTS BROUGHT UP TO DATE
Two That Have Their Origin in the
Financial Problems That Con-
front the Housewife.

From the cost of living two jests
are evolved for us.
The first is about a young couple
who have discovered how to make
both ends meet. They begin dinner
with oxtail soup and end with head
cheese. You'll have to study quite a
while to get this one.
The other is about another young
couple who have tried to economic
by going back on the SOIL" Their ten
acres and freedom was at the edge Of
a virgin forest. They lived on vege-
tables they raised-meat was too dear
to be thought of. But n snowy day
the husband took his gun and started
for the woods.
He had been gone two hours, when
his wife heard his CHEEKY shout. She
rushed to the door-he was coming
with the carcass of some creature he
had slain.
"Meat-meat at last!" he shouted.
What sort of meat?" she cried.
"Venison!"
She sank to the ground in a state
of utter collapse. I'VE can't eat i'll"
she sobbed over and over again. Ven
ison is DEER too!"-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

The Thievlnq Ear of Corn.

A Century 400.

One hundred years ago saw the end
of the Chatillon congress which had
been endeavoring to settle upon terms
of peace between France and the ma
tons allied against her. From the be-
ginning of the negotiations little hope
had been entertained on either side
that IN agreement would be reached.
Napoleon consented to give up West
phalia, Holland and Spain, to restore
the pope of Rome and Ferdinand VII
to Madrid, He agreed to give up
Malta to England, as well as most of
her colonial conquests. But he re-
manned ~steadfast in claiming for
France her natural limits, the Rhine
and the Alps. The plenipotentiaries,
deciding that further discussion would
be useless, declared the negotiations
at an end, and the allied armies pre-
pared to resume their march on Paris.

CORN CAN Be GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba is now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, a correspondent visited a field
of corn In southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER rs. The corn then was UNI
touched by frost and it stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height.
The corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor
able showing of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ex.
detrimental farm this year several va
r~ieties, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced, and the advan-
tages to be gained by so producing it,
should not 1t receive the serious at.
tention Of the western agr~iculturist?
Corn is successfully grown In the
northern part of Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can
ada. 1t is the opinion of many Ameri-
a farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised, and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. If crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be one of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for winterihg beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact, since its in
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
of land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
so with corn, W. now we find scat
tered fields of o in Alberta and

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is u of the final
stages Of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
in u country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, If discovered early, SO it is well
to know the early signs OF kidney dis
east and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances Of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel Or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.
