GERMANS sXY s HEATHER,

! Whenever opportunity has offered,
Germany has been importing vast
quantities Of heather from Scandi-
,navia, and our people, who heard of
this from Danish agents, were at
first good deal puzzled, says Lon
don Answers. Now the mystery is
explained. The heather is laid in
thick layers in front of their trench
es, and when a cloud of poison gas
begins to drift across is at once fred.
THE heat of the fierce blaze naturally
creates an upward current, and the
gas is thus carried up and dissipated

TONIC FOR FRUIT TREES.

A novel fruit tree tonic has been
brought to the notice of the French
Academy of Agriculture. In tests at
Autun the earth was removed from
the larger branches of the roots, slits
were then cut lengthwise along these
roots and linseed oil was thoroughly
rubbed into the cuts. This treatment
was followed in a short time by the
development of a fuzz of fine root
let's. The debilitated trees became
improved in appearance and con-
tinued to gain in health and vigor.
1t is recommended that an orchard
trial of this restorer be made on a
scale sufficient to determine its eco
nomic value.

DIPLOMATIC BREAKS NOT
ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY WAR.

The breaking of diplomatic relations
between two countries has not always
been followed by war. 1t is recognized
always as preliminary step toward
war, but there have been cases where
war has not followed or where it has
been postponed for many months after
diplomatic ties were severed.
In May, 1915, Italy declared war on
Austria-Hungary. simultaneously the
German ambassador to Rome, PRINCE
BuelOw, was forced to leave Italy, TAX
ing with him all German diplomatic
and consular officers. At the same mo-
ment the Italian ambassador to Berlin
was handed his passports. The break
between the two countries was COM
plete from the diplomatic standpoint.
But though war was hotly waged be-
tween Italy and Germany's ally, there
was no actual declaration of war
against Germany until more than a
year later.
Twice the United States has more
ministers to Washington.
In 1909 Minister Jackson was hand
ed his passports as the result Of what
were practically charges of falsehood
and duplicty made by him against the
American secretary of state. That
was, of course, preliminary to the war
of 1912, but war did not begin until
three years later.
Lord Sackville-West, British minis
ter to the United States, was dismissed
by the Washington government in
1888, because of personal letters he
had been trapped into writing which
ference with domestic politics. In this
instance the American minister was
not recalled, nor was he handed his
passports, and no declaration Of war
followed the incident.
When the Emperor MaXimilian was
executed in Mexico In 1867 his brother.
Emperor Francis Joseph, withdrew all
his diplomatic and consular officers
ffrOm Mexico. Diplomatic relations
were not resumed for more than thirty
years. But during all that time Aus
trian subjects lived in peace in Mexico
and were not molested by the Mexican
government. The fact that the Aus
trian forces withdrew from Mexico un-
der strong pressure from the United
States is to be considered as a control
ling cause for Francis Joseph content
ing himself with making only a dlplo-
matte protest.

A little Danderine Immediately dou-

MOST POWERFUL OF DRUGS
OF Course II Is Contagious, but Il
May Be Taken often and In
Any Quantity.

The most powerful drug of all and
one whose potency and habit-formlng
tendency give 1t the highest value, is
happiness. This may be taken as
often as 1t can be obtained and In any
quantity. 1t is highly contagious and
can be relied on to spread through any
number Of people the moment 1t Is
really started. There are forms Of It
without number and all of them help.
Some people, however distrust even
this wonderful discovery, remarks the
Christian Register saying that It is
too good to be true. They are the
people who think no medicine can be
good for much unless 1t Is bitter. It
Is hard to make happiness effective
among these people, because their trou-
BILE is ancestral. The purltans so often
made virtue hateful and goodness SOM
ber and put so much Of their religion
into their harshness that wherever
there is puritan blood any dose Of hap
piness hardly gets asslmllated. But
cleverly managed and disguised with
wholesome additions Of duty or dis
traction, happiness may almost always
be administered. 1t is most powerful
In its effects upon the glver, having
quality unknown in any other ther-
apeutics OF doing more good to the
one who gave It than to the one who
takes It.

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
fnces of Canada are easily explained
nv the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late OF
wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
.consin In the summer Of 1914 with
81 300 available cash in his possession.
He rented half-section of partly Inn
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his profts-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. ]. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
II landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1915, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
Ythan $500 in cash. l have put $1,000
worth of Improvements on my farm. /
have 81 head of cattle, 16 head Of
horses, debts all paid, new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, can cash in for
$4,000. I am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
1 have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"a to 56 bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all
No. l Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats, $40 bushels Of flax, 700 bush
els of barley-all at market prices
we'll, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. sold 3,100 bushels Of
wheat at $1.74B, am holding the re
naainder for $500. Also all the oats
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always &C
cording to Alex. Waite, prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has "made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waffle threshed 40 bush
els to the acre from a 30-acre crop
This sold for $1.60% per bushel, which
after deducting seed, labor, twine
threshing and freight, left clear profit
of $50 per acre, or total Of $1,500
From last years crop of "a acres, just
sold, he received after freight had been
deducted, advertisement

RELIEF WORK OF
U. S. MAY HALT
EFFORTS TO AID BELeIANS
THREATENED BY BREAK
WITH GERMANY.


An entire diplomatic structure to
project probably two million prisoners
in the midst of their enemies, to care
for whole conquered nation in Bel
gium, to represent the interests of four
sovereign states in Germany and Ger
man interests in nine enemy countries,
crumbled when diplomatic relations
between Germany and the United
States were severed.
One of the most complex, ultra legal
humanitarian machines ever evolved,
the slow, patient work built up during
two and half years of effort, thus is
sacrificed.
American organization and genius
and American means of restraint in
the war zones win cease to operate.
All American representatives will be
withdrawn from Germany and the du-
ties they have performed will fall on
unframed forces.
From Belgium the United States will
not withdraw till it is impossible for
her to continue. The 100 Americans
who have from the wars beginning
proved the directing genius for the
greatest and longest sustained relief
work in history will remain at their
posts unless they are forced to cross
the frontier.
Belgian relief ships will continue to
run for the present 1t is understood,
and every attempt made to secure their
immunity from German attack.
Prisoners Lose Protectors.
AS to prisoners the United States
represents the interests of at least
100000 and probably 100000 men
in countries from which the withdraw
al of American diplomats has been
forced. Often it has been only such
officials who have stoSd between these
helpless unfOrtunates, unbefriended
In the midst of an enemy country, and
threatened with reprisals, intolerable
prison conditions, inadequate food and
even epidemics of disease. American
officials have been untiring In their eff
forts under conditions almost intoler-
ably difficult.
Germany's interests in seven coun-
tries and the large sections of Egypt
and Morocco have been turned away
from American sympathy and aid to
whatever neutral Germany can find
to accept work. The state depart
ment instructed its officials represent
ing German interests in England,
France, Russia and Japan, Roumania,
Serbia, Greece, Egypt and Morocco to
suspend all activities along that line
and await information to be conveyed
through some neutral government to
whom Germany wishes those interests
surrendered

Ready to Supply Own Needs.

The figures are suggestive of what
has taken place in other Industries
which could not be so closely iden-
titled with the actual movement of the
troops The fact that five times as
many railway cars have been shipped
abroad had, for example, no distant
relation; that cotton manufacturers
nearly trebled, that wool manufacture
ers quadrupled, that leather far more
than doubled, that steel manufactures
as a whole rose from $1S4,000,000 to
$777,000. .000-sll these show what the
war has done to put this country in
position to supply its own needs
should they arise.

Banks Are Prepared.

"There is no reason to expect any
crisis in our own affairs" declared
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
National City bank of New York, in
discussing the possibility of war. The
money market is in the best possible
shape. We could not have been better
prepared for such an emergency than
we are at the present time. We have
every reason to feel easy.
The banks are prepared to absorb
the proposed S5OO,0O0,O0O government
treasury note issue without murmur,
and more If needed.
