VIII You Marry Within the Year,
Take three saucers. In the first put
clear water, in the second soapy wa.
ter. and leave the third empty. Lead
blindfolded maid or man to make
the test. A forefnger dipped In the
clear water shows that young and
handsome bride or groom Is on the
way; finger dipped in soapy water
means widow or widower is coming;
but II tho finger touches the empty
dish blessedness will follow.
Make similar test with three bowls
containing water, wine and vinegar.

NEW YORK LETTER.

(Bfom Our Regular Correspondent)s
wv lTH that keen appreciation OF
NV business which has made him
w 20 successful, Henry Ford Of
Detroit has announced his intention OF
establishing an automobile factory in
England in order that he may be able
TO avail himself Of the abundant sup.
ply Of cheap labor which win follow
the end Of the war. The London Daily
Telegraph has started Q movement to
prohibit the importation OF all Ameri-
can cars after the war. It points out,
apropos Of the effect Of the war upon
the equipment Of motor works, that,
THE small shop Is now the big shop.
large works have become factories
and those works which were approach.
ing factory proportions have SO grown
as to cover acres and acres Of ground,
fully equipped with tools and applian-
ces for large production. At present
they are occupied with war work, but
the time must come. sooner or later,
when these shops will have to depend
for orders upon the motor using pub
lie. II America could produce four.
seated vehicle fitted with electrical
equipment for lighting and starting
for 100.pounds ($500J this country
should certainly be able to produce an
improved article for $50 pounds or So"
The Telegram then goes on to advo-
cate the exclusion by the Allies Of all
American made cars when the war
ends. 1t declares that with American
and German cars excluded, England,
France and Italy should be able to
capture the trade Of Russia, japan,
Roumania and Serbia.

Showing full fifty per cent i'm
provement over the playing Of last

gratifying to Coach Bell.
A big part Of this weeks practice

beat the Reserves, and with the pow.
erful defense they are perfecting this
week, they believe they can do it
again.

Canada For Wilson:

Canada For Wilson:
"a United States Congress that will
not alter the Underwood tariff is the
hope Of British manufacturers and es.
pecially those with factories in Cana.
d." This is the message which comes
from the proceedings OF the British
Trade Commission at Winnipeg,
where the Commission is conducting
investigations to determine the best
means of promoting imperial and Do
minion export trade once the war is
over. III present plans Of the Trade
Commission work out" telegraphs the
Winnipeg correspondent OF the New
York Herald, "the tariff wall arouno
Canada wv be raised so high that few
II any of the products of the United
States factories will be able to reach
this market. while at the same time
1t is hoped to see the Underwood tariff
in existence to the end that the trade
balance with the Republic will be sub.
stantially In favor OF Canada" The
Underwood tariff has already done
wonders for Canada and, writes the
correspondent, the Canadian belief is
that "a Democratic Congress in the
United States will insure continu.
ance of this ideal condition"

Keep Williams in Senate.

1t is a foregone conclusion that the
people of the 32nd district will renomi-
nate State Senator Williams at the
primaries August 10Th. For first
termer he has made record that would
be hard to equal, and he was big
factor in the last Legislature in secur-
ing many good laws for this district.
J The upper branch of our making
body requires man of integrity and
ability, and one who is familiar with
the work. Mr.. Williams worth to the
district will increase as he holds Office,
and with his work in the past, it would
be unwise to make change.
Renominate Senator Williams and the
best interests of the district will be
served.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
4 any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat It's
