ductiOn.

The demand for farm labor in
Canada is so great that as an in
ducement to secure at once the nee
essary help required, Canada will
give one hundred and sixty acres of
land free as homestead and allow
the farm laborer, who files on land,
apply the time he is working for 9TH
er farmers as residence duties the
same as if he had lived on the land
he had applied for. This offer made
only 70 men working on Canadian
farms for dit least 6 months during
1917, thus reducing the necessity
of actual residence to years instead
of years, as under usual conditions.
This appeal for farm help is in no
way connected with enlistment for
military service but solely to secure
farm laborers to increase agricultur-
al output. A wonderful opportuni-
ty to earn good wages while secur-
ing a farm. Canadian Government

DO YOU KNOW THAT
YOU SMOKE APPLES?

However authentic may be the old
jokes about cabbAges and cigars, it Is
very true that a certain portion Of the
finest smoking tobaccoes is made up Of
shredded and toasted bits Of apple
cores and peels. Formerly this supply
of apples was secured from eastern
apple districts. but hereafter with
Oregon apples available to add their
flavor to the smoking mixture the
quality Of the blends may be expected
to improve.
During the past several weeks fac
tory, developed exclusively to reclaim
ing the pomace from local vinegar
plant, has been in operation. The
refuse, pulp, peels and cores, after
they pass through the evaporating
process are driven through graders
that operate something like machines
used IN tanning grain seeds. The
lighter and chaffy portions Of the
dried pomace are in great demand by
tobacco manufacturers, 1t is sand, be-
ing necessary in order to obtain GER
tain blends, the dslight of smokers.
The heavier reclaimed fruit waste is
sold to jelly makers.

DOBSON HERE
MONDAY, DEC. 3

Tom Dobson, the unique and cele-
brated recital singer, will give con-
cert for the benefit of the Red Gross in
the auditorium of the high school on
the evening of December 8.
Mr.. Dobson's concert here q year
ago. and his generosity with his de-
lightful art at the homes of his friends
in the valley on other visits, have won
him a warm place in the hearts of
music lovers here. That this regard
is not unappreciated may be gathered
from his answer to the invitation TO
give this concert. Mr.. Dobson writes !:
eff Hood River can wait until re.
turn from California. I'll do concert
for them at any terms they like.
A part from a sense of duty TO the Red
Cross, love Hood River enough to do
anything they can ask"
Mr.. Dobson is from Portland, but
spends his winters and does the great
er part of his work in New York. In
that crowded and surfeited musical at
mosphere his success has grown stead
lily until the most critical concert goers
of that over critical musical center are
regular members of his audiences.
He sings some of the best of the ul-
tra-modern songs with a clarity and
charm which makes them enjoyable to
ALTO the student of the new in music
as we'll as to the mere listener. He
invariably includes in the program, as
well, the better class of humorous
songs and negro melodies done in such
unique and engaging way that if a
hearer were unable to tell one time
from another he could not but enjoy
their performance. One never misses
hearing word,
Mr.. Dobson plays his own accompan-
iments with finish and touch which
will make attendance at his recital
amount to music lesson to our young
students of the piano.
The price of the tickets to Mr.. Dob
sons recitals in the east is 81. Thanks
to his doing this concert for Hood Riv.
er and the Red Cross at merely ex-
penses, this is an opportunity to hear
him for so cents.
Contribute your so cents osthe Red
Cross and be paid 81 in music for doing

As we grow older and less active, less
and less food is required to meet the de.
mands OF our bodies. II too much is
habitually taken, the stomach will rebel.
When man reaches the advanced age

light eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat more
than you should and will feel the need
Of Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not contain

enable it to perform irs functions natur-
ally. They also cause a gentle move-
