Headquarters of the Canadian Army
in France, Jan. 25-Embodied in the
heart of the great Canadian army in
France is body of American citizens
in khaki who have already succeeded
i'll effecting another of several revolu-
tions produced in warfare by the United
States.
The first and most important was the
oeroplane, invented by the Wrights; the
second is the machine gun, originally
designed by Hudson Maxim, with the
newer Lewis light machine gun, easily
carried, or for use on aeroplanes. The
third revolution is one l would hardly
believe had / not had ocular demon
stration. 1t is the conversion of the
British Tommy to faith in pork and
beans instead of the beef on which he
has fought since the time Of the Nor
man conquest of England.

TUBERCULOSIS,

tuberculosis is caused by bacteria
within the different tissues of the
body, most commonly those of the
lungs. The tuberculosis bacteria are
good deal like weeds in a field. The
crop that has been well put in and is
growing on a rich soil will smother
the weeds at first if the crop has a
good start. Poorly nourished plants
are less able to fight the weeds. Tu-
berculosis bacteria find it hard to get
start on well nourished tissue and if
they get a start on poorly nourished
tissue they can often be driven out by
good nourishment. This means that
the body must be we'll supplied with
such nourishing foods as milk, eggs,
meat, butter, vegetables, fat, etc., and
that the person live in fresh air as the
food cannot be properly used in the
body without fresh air. Sleeping in
the open is very important. The per-
son should have rest so that all the
nourishment from the food can be
used to build up the body. It is we'll
to remember that poorly nourished
tissue is the most apt to be attacked
by tuberculosis germs and that plenty

ishment as is food.-Agr. Ext. Dept,

SAVING WASTE IN EGGS.

New methods and equipment to save
the $50,000,0O0 worth of eggs wasted
every year in the country were dis
cussed at conference of representa-
tive poultry and egg shipped with the
Food Administration. The confer
ence was addressed by Food Admins
tration officials and several other men
acquainted with the egg situation.
1t was recommended that egg ship
pers who purchase eggs, pay for only
those that are fit for human use. The
custom has been to buy eggs by the
case, without Gambling them before
purchasing. Gambling later was al
most sure to show that a large per-
centage of the eggs were bad. To get
his money back, the shipper then had
to throw away the bad eggs and raise
the price on the remaining eggs and
this was felt all along the line to the
consumer.

A shooting ARRAY occurred at Den
high last Tuesday night, which re-
suited in the death of Marvin Rosen-
Grams, an eighteen year old son of
one of the notorious Rosencrans clan
that has for the past twenty-five years
held record for unsavoriness of
reputation. The shooting was done
by man named Hill, who operates
livery at Denbigh, and grew out Of
a long standing grudge. 1t is re-
ported that two of the Rosencrans
boys started out to "clean" Hill, and
he retaliated by using his revolver
with deadly effect. The injured man
was brought to the Rugby hospital on
a speeder where prompt surgical at
tendance was obtained, but it was
found Immediately upon examination
that his case was hopeless, the bullet
having entered little above the left
groin and passing through his abdo-
men, causing about twenty four
punctures in his bowels. He survived
about two hours and passed away
without regaining consciousness. His
father and brother were with him
when he died. An inquest was held
yesterday afternoon, after which the
body was shipped to his home. Hill
is confined in the Jail at Towner.-

WARD COUNTY MAN IN
CANADIAN LEGISLATURE
John ColquhOun, Early Resident of
Upper Mouse River, Chosen for
Important Place-GOOd Letter
From John Bradley.

The Independent received very in
| teresting letter from John A. Bradley,
a former resident Of Ward county. Mr.
Bradley was a Ward county pioneer
and his letter will be read with inter
est by all Of our readers, and espec-
tally by the ones who knew our big
hearted friend in the days of yore:
Maple Creek, Sask., Can, Nov. II
Editor Independent:
1t is so long since wrote to you,
l thought I would drop you few
lines, and, urged by some Of your
items in the paper, so here goes:
The last letter l wrote you was
about weather conditions, snow and
so forth. This will be about bare
ground and farm work. All our
threshing is done long time past, as
it was easily done. Ground l threshed
1000 bushels off of in 1916 this year
I threshed 231 bushels, but l am a
Yankee-if l get beaten once I come
back the second time.
intend to put in one hundred acres
Of wheat in 1918 and am busy at this
date blowing in, my shirt-sleeves
which would be a sight for you frozen
Dakota fellows.
Why not move your plant up here
into Canada and if you would work
as diligently to get immigrants for
Canada as you do for Dakota and in
sist on their staying we would have a
population of ten million in less than
five years.
dislike the prices you quote on
turkeys, altho suppose it is good
financing on your part as it is posi-
BILE you thought of the duty on tur-
keys and in this way the amount of
duty will be smaller on the one am
going to send you for Xmas, but l
want to tell you have no 7c or 12c
per ID. turkeys, and when you roast
it, believe me you are eating a 25c
to soc pound bird. I have number
engaged for SOC per pound.
We are going to have an election
soon that promises to be hot affair.
We had little touch of the old time
politics in Minot on June 26th, when
we liberals elected an old time Ward
county boy as a representative from
this district. His duties are to at
tend the Provincial Legislature meet
ings in Regina. He formerly lived up
the Mouse river near Joslyn's and his

name is John Colquhoun. We defeat
ed an old Maple Creek resident VINO
held the office for twelve years and
still wanted it for four years more.
Since the entrance of the U. s. into
the European war, Old Glory is more
conspicuous. One seldom sees an au-
tomobile from Maple Creek and sur
rounding vicinity without Old Glory
on one side Of the car and the Union
Jack on the other, and assurance
seems to rest on the minds of the peo-
pie here that the victory is ours since
the U. s. has put her men and money
into this terrible war.
Here in Canada, as in the U. s.,
war prices are prevalent, especially
so on table articles, namely, butter,
45c to SOC per Id. ;eggs, 45c per doz.;
pork chops, 25c to 30c; beef, 30c to 35c
per h.; flour, $500 to $3.50 per 100
lbs; sugar $11 per 100 lbs; oysters,
the Shiny things, got few for sup
per last night and cost only $1.40 per
quart; potatoes are retailing for $1.O0
per bushel. Clothing and shoes are
simply out of sight. Outing flannel
costs from 25c to soc per yard and it
is thin enough to see thru. Am think
ing seriously Of having my skin paint
ed khaki, as it is warm enough to 60
bare-footed.
Wheat is worth $2.O3 at present.
We have four elevators here and a
flour mill. Any day one is in town
he can see the streets lined with
teams hauling in grain. Some days
Il, hy1nI rn RI
loads marketed. Outside of this i'm
mediate belt, good crops were grown
this year. Wheat is averaging from
rs to 40 bushels to the acre.
Farm machinery, carriages and
wagons are extremely high. McCor-
mick binder, 8 ft. cut, will cost in the
neighborhood of 5000; double team
wagon costs from $110 to $120. The
Canadian manufacturers make them
mostly from green lumber or poorly
seasoned and one has to turn them day
about to the sun so the season cracks
alike on both sides. One has to pay
for common run-about covered car
riage from $125 to $195.
Pm billed as a delegate to Lib
eral convention to be held at Shauno-
van, Sask., on Tuesday, the 18th, and
believe me, l am going to throw my
support to Sir Wilfred Laurier, as he
is the only leading Canadian poll
tician that we can look to for relief
from duty on manufactured articles
from the statess.
If I don't enlist and go to France
the next letter l write l hope will be
able to tell you the Liberals are in
Yours most sincerely,
power.

enheit, or below, as soon after pur-
chase as possible, was advocated. All
second grade eggs, heated, shrunken,
or cracked should be marketed as Of
ten and as near the source as possible.
Before shipping all eggs should be
carefully rehandled and those badly
checked, that is with cracked shells,
should be removed. Packing in STAN
dard cases is recommended to prevent
breakage. The practice Of selling poul-
try with feed, grain or gravel in their
crops, which is paid for by weight
with the bird, is discouraged.
Before the convention closed, it had
passed resolution of support for the
whole Food Administration program,
including federal license for dealers.

Keep Your Eye on Your Stock.

A well known Rolling Green town.
ship farmer states that many cattle
and horses from the prairie north have
been turned loose since the herd law
was abolished and they have strayed
into the hills, where they are doing
great deal of damage to the hay
stacks and flax. If stock is to be
turned loose, it is only right that the
owners should keep an eye on them to
see that they do not do damage to the
neighbors' feed and grain.

who appeared at committee meeting
with a hank Of poodle wool clipped
from her own pet dog as an exhibit.
Mrs. Mclean has made scarf out Of

and makes as fine an article as lambs
