pork hunters. to all appearances. have
run to cover.
President Wilson has permitted it
to be known that he will veto one of.
the chief pork measures. the public
buildings bill, if it come to him loaded
down as it is with useless expenditures.
The expectation is that the senate,
where it is now, will make no attempt
to pass it. The flood control bill, not
quite so rich in political graft, will
probably die with it. AS for the riv-
ers and harbors bill. that ancient
standby of pork congressman has
about given up the ghost, because GER
tain senator's have pledged. themselves
to prevent it's passage during the short
time congress now has to live, by
means of the filibustering tactics SO
successfully employed by Senator Bur-
ton when he talked a similar measure
to death.

stretches of track between Edmonton
and the Pacific coast where two rail-
ways run parallel. the traffic of both
lines to be accommodated on the re-

owed it's origin to the British govern
ment. which intimated that prompt
action of this kind would probably
save thousands of lives. and that new
rails could not be obtained because
of the demand for steel in making
munitions. 1t was estimated in Otta-

track would be torn up in response to

HIGH PRICE OF HOGS.

A reason for the high price of pork
has been discovered. 1t is tuberculo-
sis of hogs.
To rid the country of this disease,
which is costing millions of dollars an
nually, is practicable and relatively
easy, it is said. determination should
be attained without delay before the
disease, which appears to be increas-
ing, has gained too much Roadway, is
the advice of the specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
The official figures show that 9 per
cent of the hogs slaughtered during
the fiscal year 1916 at establishments
under federal meat inspection were af-
fected with tuberculosis in some de-
gree. In the case of hogs from GER
tain localities, especially some of the
dairying sections however, over rs
per cent, or one out of four hogs
slaughtered. had the disease. In fact,
so serious has hog tuberculosis be-
come in some localities that hog buy
ers for packing houses are avoiding
certain regions known to be badly in
fected and some packers already are
buying hogs subject to post-mortem
inspection with the loss for tubercula:
hogs falling on the feeder
Other buyers who do not buy sub
Ject to post-mortem inspection protect
themselves by offering lower price
for all hogs, in which case the careful
breeder suffers equally with the care
| less one.
The two principal ways of prevent
| ing hogs from becoming tubercular
are by keeping them away from tu-
bercular cattle. and by cooking or pas
| teurizing all skim milk and cookine
all garbage before it is fed to the hogs

So Why Whine?
By RUTH CAMERON,

So Why Whine?
We have a new by-word in our
family circle.
1t was supplied by the little girl
who lives around the corner.
Her mother told us the story. The
little girl is five and even more cum
ming than that, of itself, implies.
From the moment she wakes up in
the morning until the moment she
drifts away into dreamland at night,
she throws off quaint. delightful,
little reactions on life like sparks
from a pinwheel.
The one in question came just be-
fore that last moment of drifting off.
She was saying her prayers. She had
said the immortal prayer of childhood
and added the immortal petition to
bless papa and mamma and make me
a good girl (by the way. another little
girl who had been repeating these
same petitions for year or so star
tied me one night by asking what God
bless meant, an interesting common
tary on the way the little folks repeat
the sounds we tell them to say with
out knowing half the time what they
mean.

I'm no happier when 1 whine, so why

And that, as you may guess, is our
family byword.

man nature!
| Some one worries unnecessarily.
"Oh, Lord. keep me from worrying.
I'm no happier when l worry. so why
worry, says some one else.

ritable. ''Oh. Lord keep me from be-
ing cross. I'm no happier when I'm
cross. 50 why be crosse suggests the
one who has been scolded.
So simple, and so profound!

that we have no copyright on this.
You may have it, too. Better still, do
more than that! Pass it along.

BED TIME TALES
BY CLARA INGRAM JUDSON
THE FAIRY PAINTS.

Once upon a time, a most unusual
thing happened in fairyland.
The fairy queen forgot to lock up
her paints,
Usually she was very careful about
her precious paints but this one time
she was SO tired she forgot them and
just climbed into her flower bed and
went to sleep.
the fairies of her kingdom had all
ways wanted to paint with her paints
but she never would let them
When they asked to use them she al
ways laughed and said, IF 1 ever
leave them around carelessly you may
paint all you wish
OF course that made the fairies
feel very disappointed. for they were
quite sure she would never leave her
paints around carelessly, and SO they
could never paint
But now this night when they tip
toed up to wish the Queen sweet
dreams, what do you suppose they
saw?
The magic paints dropped needless
ly on the ground and the Queen fast
asleep in her flower above them,
You may be sure it didn't take the
fairies long to pick up all the paints
and brushes and scurry off into the
twilight where there was less danger
CT waking the Queen.

things" said another fairy who was
poking around to sec how much paint
the Queen left, because there isn't a
lot of paint here'
I'm tell you what let's do" said n
little fairy who had been thinking
very hard. I'm so tired of seeing
those old green apples in the tree

THE NEW IDEA.

The manufacturers of print paper
have proposed that the federal trade
commission shall investigate and de-
terrnine a fair and reasonable maxi
mum price for their product from
March 1, 1917, to September l, 1917;
also that it shall, if it deems it advis-
able, make an investigation of the
conduct of their business and presen:
recommendations for it's readjustment
This islthe most striking recognition
to date by American business men,
says the Chicago Herald, of the idea
which underlies the creation of the
trade commission and has ruled its
policy from the start. 1t is the first
appeal on a big scale for the applica-
ton of the method of reasonable ad-
justment as opposed to the long and
tedious processes of litigation. 1t is
significant of the vast and valuable
potentialities of this body as an agency
for the aid and counsel of business.
The commission has taken the pro-
posal under advisement. But the prec-

body's good offices is of the highest

commission grows clearer, the resort
to it will become more and more fire.

In this case, as in most other cases

very genius of the nation is imperilled
by this invading army of foreigners
except they be led into acceptance
of the Christian ideals of this western
world.
The entire Characterization of North
America is the most far-reaching sim
gle enterprise of the whole world.

Certain great tasks of home mis-
sions must be done in cooperation.
This for the sake of the good name of
Christianity for the sake of efficiency,
and for the sake of economy. If we
cut down our unchristian competition,
and devote ourselves-to doing the work
itself, rather than trying to outrival
one another, we shall be able to meet
with some degree of adequacy the vital
tasks to which patriotism and religion
summon US.
Strengthen We the weak hands, and

that are of a fearful heart, Be strong,

God is the commanding Lord of
all nations; but no nation is blessed
unless God is it's Father Lord. 1t is
always the temptation of a nation to
trust in the riches and power that
God gives rather than in the One with
out whom there would be no riches
and power"
One has to read back in the old
English annals to realize that North
America was ever looked upon as be-
| ing truly mission field as we today
regard China. The exercise is whole
some. 1t not only brings one into
/ touch with the missionary spirit OF
Great Britain at that distant day, and
with such great personalities as Eliot
and Brainerd and Bourne and the
