Bad Habits.

Those who breakfast at o'clock or
later, lunch at twelve and have dinner at
six are almost certain to be troubled with
indigestion. They do not allow time for
one meal to digest before taking another.
Not less than five hours should elapse be-
tween meals. If you are troubled with
indigestion correct your habits and take
Chamberlain Tablets, and you may
reasonably hope for quick recovery.
These tablets strengthen the stomach
and enables it to perform its functions
naturally. Obtainable everywhere.

were elected on account of the large
number of miles of road to be cared for.
The supervisor in each district has the
right to employ men to assist him in car
rying on his work.

HAS LARGE WHEAT SURPLUS.

Australia will have at the end OF
January, 1918, according to the prime
minister. about 100000 tons of wheat
over and above the amount required
for local consumption, this amount In
cluding what remains from the 1s1s-
1917 wheat. The premier's conference
held at Melbourne in May appointed
wheat storage commission, COM
prising one minister and one expert
representing the commonwealth, and
one minister and one expert from
each Of the four wheat-growing states
to formulate a scheme for the erection
of silos suited to the present and
future requirements of the common
wealth.
The problem OF storing Australia's s
wheat is being constantly discussed.
both official and unofficially. The
British government has bought 112,-
100000 bushels of Australian wheat Of
the 1sl5-191s and l916-1917 crops for =
shillings and 3 pence a bushel f. o. b.
Australian port. One of the conditions
of the sale Is that. II the whole of
the wheat Is not delivered by Decem-
Der 81, 1917, the British wheat COM
mission will pay the additional
charges for storing it in Australia
after that date. As the greater part
Of the wheat has not been shipped.
and as the next harvest will begin
to come in by the end Of the year.
1t Is apparent that the storage situa-
ton is acute.
In Australia there is at present ap-
proximately 100000 bushels of wheat
of the i915-1916 crop, and l36, ,000, 900

PROHIBITION In MAINE.

A dispatch from Maine gives the
best piece Of news from that peculiar
State that has come along for years.
It says that II has been decided to
put into effect the so-called Maine
law" that has for so long given
Maine people the right to say that
they lived in a State Of absolute pro-
hibition and given everybody who
wanted to buy a drink in Maine the
opportunity to drink and incidentally
to ridicule the alleged Temperance"
Of the State.

THE HUMANITY OF THE ROAD.

Much has been written about the
road as an innate thing. Authors
have word-painted the beauties of the
broad highway. Poets have sung the
praises of the open road. Artists
have painted the silent mysteries of
natures wonderful breathing spaces.
The genuises Of verbal expression
have done q master work in drawing
forth an appreciation for the routes
OF common travel; these great
stretches of land with numerous tribu-
taries, which are the connecting links
between a rural and urban people
binding them. srip-like. into q more
sociable family. This fact, no doubt,
is responsible for the oft-used term
good roads" II their goodness end
ed here, their influence would be
somewhat limited. As it Is, they are
cosmic for good.
The pleasure-seeking motorist Elides
over the smooth-surfaced roads with
positive contentment and breathes
with freedom the freshness Of woods
and fields. But what Is true OF life
relationships applies equally to the
broad highway. One cannot always
receive pleasure and not expect to
give something in return. The road.
being q constant giver of enjoyment,
exacts q toll in exchange-an express
sion Of self in an emergency. This
is the personal side of the road
that which invites helpfulness to the
distressed and makes the disabled
motorist a newly-made friend. II the
goodly influence of the road were
here circumscribed, its righteous
ness would be restricted in scope.
There is another characteristic ra-
dating from the road which makes
it in truth a missionary. For here
at times birth IL given to the high
est and noblest human nature. A
pedestrian may be roaming idly along
the highway and he is met by q
motorist alone. The walker Is asked
to ride, the men exchange words
and although strangers, they are
made sociable people. Selfishness has
been robbed OF being. Then, again
the car may seat several occupants,
and the knight of the highway Is
invited to share an unoccupied place
and their society. He reads in the
invitation sympathy, kindness. and
realizes that there is humanity in
every mile of the avenue of mortal
wayfaring. All that Is needed is the
circumstance to call these finer in.
hereht characteristics into expires.

Three days afterwards the man came

POLICE OF OTHER LANDS

Ii used to be said that each coun-
try could be known by the Jews who
lived within its borders. In the same
way every city can be judged by the
character of its policemen. In Chris
uania the policeman is a mild and
amiable citizen in a rather shiny coat,
and none too neat, who stands in the
middle Of the roadway and tries to
maintain some semblance Of order In
the democratic muddle Of the city's
tranic. In Stockholm the policeman
is a walking arsenal, with sword and
pistol and brass helmet, and the ar
rest OF disorderly person becomes
an act Of state. There the policeman
represents the high authority Of a
proud country. He fulfills his duty
with stern severity. He is the SYM
