trouble known as asthma know what it is to long with all their hearts for escape ns from a tyrant never do they know when an attack may come and they know that to struggle unaided is vain with dr j d kelloggs asthma remedy at hand however they can say good bye to their enemy and enjoy life again it helps at once looking for a job when looking for a job be sure that nothing in your appearance is against you a soiled collar or muddy shoes will outweigh the letters you carry tes- tilylng to your ability and uprightness in fact the chances are that your care lessness about your personal appear ance will prevent those letters from ever being read money spent in having a suit cleaned and pressed and in get ting a haircut is a good investment if you are looking for a job cultivate a cheerful appearance you are not asking for charity and so there is no need to be doleful speak up look people in the eye have a smile ready the beggar whines to show how miserable he is but it is a question if that is not a mistake the world likes courage and sometimes it takes a lot of courage to be cheerful take along your resolution when ou j are looking for a job unless you are abnormally lucky a great many doors will shut in your face you will hear plenty of refusals some of them kindly some of them snappishly spoken but take them with a smile and a lifted chin remember that if you get one yes the fifty nos that proceeded it do not count j remember always that the difficult and discouraging periods when you are seek ing work may give you much valuable knowledge perhaps in the long run they will prove as profitable as though there were a salary attached i suppose everyone is watching the papers with interest these days because there is wlojiot doubt an element of uncertainty ts to what the latest news will be you know and i know that whatever policies are put into effect there is bound to be satisfaction and dissatisfaction gloating and heartache one mans meat must of necessity be another mans poison and the pity of it is it must be so no matter what gov ernment happens to be in power we ead of retirements and if we do not know the retiree then we think of it only as a political issue but when the axe falls nearer home and we are per sonally acquainted with those who are affected then it is human to think more of the personal side of the question and we are glad or sorry according to our regard for the person retired but there was news last wednesday which could hardly give dissatisfaction to anyone least of all to farm people and that was the proposed reduction in cost of hydro power to rural people oh but it was a grand and glorious feeling to read that report only those who have had tlie experience can realize a hat joy what safety what saving of time hydro can bring to farm homes where people have been used to grubbing along with oily lamps insufficient light and antiquated methods of housekeep ing when we are young these things dont bother us particularly we have youth energy and optimism to help us cope with inconveniences we can do our washing on a board and think nothing of it the children are young nighttime finds them sleeping so one or two good lamps are possibly all we need we get along vary well with a carpet sweeper to clean our rugs and in our enthusiasm we dont mind going down on our hands and knees to polish the floor our household linen and personal apparel may be comparatively new so we dont feel that ironing with flat irons is burdensome and because our family is small we find an oilstove sufficient for cooking purposes ip hot weather as i say things like these are all very well when one is young in fact it is just as well for the young bride sot to have things too easy enough work to keep her busy makes for content but there comes a time in the lives of most of us farm women when we find that the easy energy of early youth has left us we begin to feel the need of relaxation and to get it we need our work to be made easier we can still work hard but we need more conven iences more refinement in our homes and more comfort when the day is done the little ones are growing up and we get a heart attack about three times where loyalists rest link in saint john with early history of colonizing canada when saint john paid tribute to the united empire loyalists the old loyalist burying ground came in for its share of attention laid out in 1784 a year after the loyalists landed this cemetery is in the heart of saint john s business district an act of 1848 closed the ground se far as burial was concerned high officials british officers and pri vate soldiers found a last resting place in the little cemetery few of the stones re main upright some are cracked and broken and others were removed one of the notable graves is that of christopher billop who met lord howe commander of the british forces benjamin franklin and john quincy adams in an effort to adjust the differences between the

tired playing it so mutch live stock production in canada legends of the unicorn the unicorn which figures in the british royal coat of arms is emblem atic of scotland and was introduced in the royal coat of arms at the time of the union of scotland and england the unicorn is a purely fabulous creature having the head of a horse the hind legs of an antelope the tail of a lion and sometimes the loard of a goat the horn which projects from the centre of theft forehead is similar to that of a narwhal though as a rule savage and quarrelsome the unicorn at matingtlme was said to bepome very gentle to his mate which fc supposed to have given rise to the medieval idea that the uni corn was subdued to gentleness at the sight of a virgin and would como and lay his head in her lap which was the only means by which he could be caught because of is swiftness and ferocity the picture of a unicorn on a drinking cup symbolized an ancient belief of the efficacy of the unicorns horn some times used as a drinking cup against poison another medieval legend about the uhlcom is that when it stooped to drink from a pool its horn dipping tat thewater purified and renoered it sweet in one dtnct

the mosquito problem in france ac- someone must needs hold a lantern and cording to dr coutelen of paris of course we remember the times we france noted outhonty on malaria and have read of lanterns being upset or exploding and we naturally think if only we had electric light as we grow older our sight grows older too we try to sew at night hold a needle towards the light and find the thread dodging from side to side of the needle in fact anywhere at all but through the eye opticians say to protect the eyes light should fall over the left i shoulder but supposing there are half- i adozen persons in a family and one i lamp in the centre of the table how is it possible we like to have our homes looking nice but find that polished floors and creeklng knees seem to go together the lamily washing has a way of increasing year by year household linen gets old and worn and soils quicker so there is more washing and more ironing but less backbone and a deficiency of elbow grease no one knows how we long for the laborsaving conveniences of hydro for the feeling of safety at tbe bam and house but hydro we have always felt is something quite beyond our reach the installation was too ex pensive the twentyyear contract too big a venture and supposing we had the power the rate was too high to use anything big in the way of labor saving appliances but now with the prospect of cheaper power previously unattainable conven iences may jet be possible the day may come when grandma can enjoy an electric armingpad the farmers wife may wash clean iron read cook sew and raise chickens all with the help of hydro power and the farmer need not restrict his working hours to a fourteen- hour day as he must at present but mosquito control dr coutelen who came to ottawa to see william hopkins
