Here is a little picture of Civili-
cation: Mr.. E. Coyle, aged thirty,
was in court, accused of peddling
in a soldiers uniform without a
license and he not really SOL
der.
He confessed in the presence of
his wife and three-year-old child
that he had borrowed the uniform.
The child, recognizing its father,
cried out in court, Daddy, I'm
hungry"
The father fell down in a faint,
and it was not "good acting"
either. A doctor, called by the
Judge, said the man was starving.
In this particular case, instead
of sending the man to Jail, the
judge gave him ten dollars, others
gave more, and he, the baby, and
its mother ate.
That ended well. But Of such
cases few get into court, and of
those that get into court, few faint
or have a child at hand to call out
at the right time, I'm hungry"
How many such cases are there
of which you and the newspapers
never hear? What part do they
play building up the we'll adver-
tised Bolshevism?
When you read about hungry Mr..
Coyle, you also read General
March's statement that some mil
lions of pounds of ham and bacon
had deteriorated, gone to waste,
because the Government had not
taken the trouble to distribute it.
Civilization and efficiency are on
the way, but not quite here yet.

BEAUTIFUL YOUNG
LIFE IS CUT DOWN

last Tuesday, Mrs. Lena Milan, the
young and loving wife Of Mr.. Frank
Milan, and daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Priestley : Breedon, after suffering
for a brief time with influenza and
pneumonia, breathed her last, sur

friends. She was born and reared
here and l knew her to be one of the
most modest, affectionate and dutiful
children and woman l ever met.
She had not reached her twentieth
year, with prospects of long and
usefdl life, but was so unexpectedly
cut down by death. Death rides on
every breeze and turks in every
flower. The whole community mourns
the death of this good woman. Her
husband was too i'll at home to at
tend the funeral. She was buried in

MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
Of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the
very ingredients that the green feed
supplies in season, only, of course,
in a more highly concentrated form.
We guarantee that this remedy will
make your cows give more milk, and
better milk, with the same feed.
