Eggs ham, chicken and salads figure conspcu-
ousy in the Easter menus, the eggs and chicken
because of the Easter symbolism; ham, since it is
connected with eggs from a gastronomic stand
point, and salads because when Easter comes
fresh green viands are particularly entcing.
Here is good recipe for smothered chicken,
which may well be the principal item of an Easter
luncheon or dinner. Split the chicken down the

chicken as for boiling; then cut into joints, wipe

into beaten eggs; then roll in fine bread crumbs.
Place in a well buttered pan, pour olive oil or
melted butter over them and bake in steady

CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR.

The internal revenue department Of
the United States has made public fig
ures from it's 1915 report which def
nitely and conclusively dispose Of one
Of the stock arguments of the liquor
interests, namely, that prohibition does
not prohibit and that with the growth
of dry territory the consumption of
liquor increases. Notwithstanding in
dications on every hand to the con-
trary, journals of the liquor trade,
anti-prohibition platform orators and
writer's of liquor publicity articles in
the general press reiterate the state
ment that legislation has not had, and
never will have, any effect upon the
amount of liquor consumed. The statis-

department, to the effect that the in

liquors is decreasing at the rate Of ST.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling off, on account
of the fear of CONSUMPTION, which OF
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case 1t would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields Of the Western
Canada crops. and the high prices Sc
cured Is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. III. Beatty of
Nanton, Alberta had $40 bushels of
wheat from - acres or an average Of
561s bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney f. Phillips Of Beddeford, Alberta,
threShed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
521a bushels per acre, his interest Is
further aroused. Thos. Long Of Leth-
| bridge had 100 bushels of oats to the
acre from field of 25 acres, w.
Quinn Of Milk River had 1904 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres, an average
of so bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes aftlda-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from
| field of 1903 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield of f1fty-three
| bushels Of wheat per acre. Newell j.
Mobiles affidavit of getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
| that he had 122 bushels and 30 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or t1fty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from flax field
(stubble field) she got 90 bushels and
SO pounds per acre.
It cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success When these reports are
| read, the man looking for fGFaRy asee
comes convinced
These are only a few Of the reasons
that will cause a large influx Of Amer
ican farmers into the Canadian West

BEER.
The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress
concluded that while whisky and
brandy made man crazy, beer tends
to make him stupid. Doctor Forel of
the University of Zurich says: 1.-THE
drinking of beer has killed the ideals
and ethics and has produced an in
credible vulgarity." The reason for
the sottishness Is that each pint of
beer contains a small quantity Of
pure alcohol, percentage Of lupulin,
the active principle of hops, which
acts very much like the poisonous
principle of Indian hemp. At one
time Indian hemp was used as a medi-
cine, but it had to be abandoned ON
account of its varying and poisonous
characteristics. Doctor Delbruck, an
other authority, says that beer and
wine drinking countries such as
France, Germany, Belgium and Ba-
varia, are more alcohol soaked than
the whisky and brandy countries, and
states that the beer danger is much
greater than the spirit danger.

MAKING FOOL OF HIMSELF.


Because one man out of ten makes
fool Of himself is no reason why the
other nine should be deprived of the
pleasure of drink" Replying to this
proliquor argument, Clarence True
Wilson, prohibition speaker, says:
"Yes; but it does not stop with one
mans making a fool of himself. The
trouble is that he makes, too often, a
wild beast of himself. The trouble is
that in that condition he is liable to
make corpse of somebody else. If
one man out Of ten, or one out of fifty,
turned out by saloon is for the time
being a maniac, it is about time to
shut up the saloon and let the other
forty-nine men crafty their appetites
In less hazardous way. If one coat
out of every ten made from South
American wool were found to engen-
der insanity in the wearer, would the
public do right to pass law, if neces-
sary, preventing the manufacture or
sale of such coats? If one man out of
every ten that ate ice cream was
found to be afflicted with an incurable
disease that made him a danger to
passers-by, how long before the law
would throttle the ice cream restau-
rants?
eff liquor were an entirely new
thing, just introduced into the country,
and the effects were at once ascer-
tanned to be what they are known to
be, prohibitory law would be passed
by reclamation"

There was such difference in calculations as to
the time of the feast that Bede records that In a
certain year Queen Eanfeda, who had received
her instruction from Kentish priest of the Ro-
man obedience, was fasting and keeping Palm
Sunday while her husband Oswy king of North
umbra following the rule of the British church,
was celebrating the Easter festival. In 325, at
the council summoned by Constantine, 1t was de-
cided that Easter day was to be on Sunday and
that 1t was to be calculated at Alexandria, the
home of astronomical science. From this arose
the present method of calculating Easter, which
sets the day as the first Sunday after the first

full moon does not fall on Sunday. Should 1t do
