Owe Word to Saint.

To st. Etheldreda we owe the word
"tawdry." The saint knew no such
word. but the origin of it is clear
enough. For st. Etheldreda was pop
uiarly known as St. Audry, and at S..
Audry's fair were sold st. Audrey
laces. which in process of time became
clipped into "tawdry laces." Finally
the new adjective was applied to any
nnery OF similar grade. The part
played by the IT" in saint" is exactly
that which has given us Tooley street

"RuZzU

Sometime ago l was initiated into
the good old game of Buzz" much
to the amusement of the Riddles who
thought it was great to find a pastime
with which I was not familiar. Here
is the way to play it:
The players sit in a circle and the
one designated begins to count, his
neighbor says the next number and so
on until seven is reached when, in
stead of giving the number the play
er says buzz" The next says eight, "
and SO it goes until fourteen brings
another buzz" and so on, for every
number having a seven or a multiple
Of seven the word buzz is substituted.
The player who forgets is left out of
it or must pay forfeit
The thing to remember is seven or
the multiple like IA, q, %, 35, etc. The
one who holds out the longest may
receive prize.

Caustic.

There is a certain party who is very
voluble. Long after a dialogue in
which he is concerned has reached
its logical finish he persists in drag
ging it forward, in stringing out his
sentences to the utmost notch. A

the other day for the verbose one to
wind up one of his harangues testify
summed up his method in these
words:

game of turning periods into COM

Watch Carefully
the Child'.s Diet
Gfcrt Them of Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet Of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge it to take more Of what is quick
~ digested.
IL the child shows tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given a mild laxative TO help the bow
els. By this is not meant physic or
purgattve, for these should n9Ver be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply small dose Of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion Of thousands Of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member Of the family may need it,
and all can use it. Thousands endorse
1t, among them Mrs. M. e. Patten,
Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never
without 1t in the house. Mrs. Patten

says that Syrup Pepsin has done won
ders for her boy Ralph, who was con-

fine. Naturally, she is enthusiastic
about it and wants other mothers to
use it. DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is
sold by druggists at fifty cents and
one dollar bottle, the latter size be-
ing bought by those who already know
It's value, and it contains proportion

very pleasant to the taste. 1t is also
mild and non-griping and free from in

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS.

The present demand for foodstuffs
In all parts of the world, and the ex-
pense Of producing 1t on high-priced
lands, would make it seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period There is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
its millions of acres of land, easily
cultivatable, highly productive, access
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
Of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst. But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or in country,
as in western Canada.
The provinces Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta have the oIarg-
est area of desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
| crop was only 100000 bushels. 1t
is a simple calculation to estimate
| that If four per cent. of the available
| cultivatable area produces something
over 200,000,000 bushels, what will AZ
per cent. produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it was 1919,
| 10000 being from the United States
IN 1906 it was $4,000 of which $1,000
were Americans, and in 1913 1t was
about 100000, Of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
| gone to Canada? The American farm
er is a man of shrewd business in
stincts, just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 500 to 5000 per
acre and move into Canada and home
| stead and pre-empt half section for
| himself, and similarly for all his sons
1
who are adult and of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left,
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, 1t will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of Drawn
muscle and sinew, following it so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
| farmer with which it has had dealings
! for years back. This capital and the
capital Of farming experience is no
small matter in the building up Of a
| country.
Nothing Is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth, of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the worlds history
has attracted to it's borders a larger
number Of settlers in so short a time
or has attracted so much wealth in a
period Of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
| conditions so favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today.-Ad.

FISH FILINGS. e

A most delicious sauce to serve
with boiled or baked fish is the follow
ing: Make a rich white sauce, using
two tabIespoonfuIs each of butter and
-four, a half teaspoonful of salt and
a cup of thin cream. Melt the butter,
and when bubbling hot add the flour;
mix we'll and add the milk, and just
before taking from the fire add the
salt and a few dashes of cayenne a
tablespoonful of chopped capers, one
sour pickle chopped and parsley for
a garnish with eighths of lemon.
Spanish Codfish.-Take a half pound
of salt Goldfish, one Glove of garlic
finely chopped, cup of rich tomato
sauce, one onion chopped fine, few
dashes of paprika, a quarter of Guy
Of olive oil, one-half of a sweet red
pepper Soak the Goldfish over night,
and simmer in fresh water 40 minutes.
Pick out the bones and lay the shred
ded fish In a buttered baking dish.
Fry the onion, pepper and garlic in
the olive oil and add to the tomato
sauce. Cut triangles of bread and fry
In the oil and arrange around the dish.
Cook fer Is minutes and serve very
hot. When soaking cod fish, or any
other salty fish, put it skin side up in
the water, otherwise the salt will sink
into the skin and flesh and fail to fall
to the bottom of the dish.
Luncheon Fisn.-Free leftover fish
from bones and skin and flake with a
fork. To cupful allow teaspoonful
of -four with a quarter of a teaspoon
of mustard, dash of cayenne, a ia
blespoonful Of butter and saltspoon
of salt Rub these ingredients we'll
together, adding enough lemon juice
to moisten; half fill scallop shells, COW
er with buttered bread crumbs and
set in hot oven until thoroughly
heated.
