y >^- MnING DESERTSrGARDENS worked his way up througrh all de- j partments. The departments, of ! which bhese men know least, in their business, is the bar. It is not only the big hotels that have been marvelously successful when nianuf^ed by men of capacity, who learnt the business from the ground up, and who have developed executive ability, but some of the small hotels have been remarkably profitable. We know of one hotel, in ' a town of only 17,000, managed by a ' man who began, when a boy, cutting meat in the kitchen of a big city hotel. As a result of good food and clean, perfectly appointed rooms and effi- ] cient management, the profits of this house have sOaadily crept up, until, in \ 1915, they reached $50,000. To-day the building is being nearly doubled in size to meet the demand of good : service. So little does this manager think of his bar that in his new build- ing, he is putting it in the basement, as he is satisfied that, in a very short time, liquor selling will be eliminated. Investors in hotel properties should deal with them as a manufacturing ; and retailing proposition. Manage or have them managed, by e.xperienced business men. Give a quality service, I advertise it, and build a reputation justJ as a manufacturer does for his name or trade mark. The traveling and local public will flock to them. « He Was Too Busy. "Mamma," asked three-year-old Freddie, "are we going to heaven some day?" "Yes, dear, I hope so," was the reply. "I wish papa could go," continueii the little fellow. "Wall, and don't you think he will?" ask- ed the mother. "Oh, no\" replied Freddie; "he could not leave his busi- ness." Sore!

(4) Distributing the Water. OUT on the prairies of Western Canada and amone the moon- tain valleys of British Colum- bia, deserts are being turned Into gardens by the application of life- giving waters. Every desert Is a potential garden It this one chief necessity Is met, thongh It Is not fair to use the word desert or even an arid region, for Al- berta Is neither arid or desert. But nature may often be assisted in her great task of production, and this Is what the irrigation systems of Canadian West are doing. In Alberta the Canadian Paclllo Railway Is developing the largest in- dividual Irrigation project on the Am- erican continent, with an area larger than the total Irrigated area in either Colorado or California. Portions of a tract of three million acres will be Included in this prosperous and fertile so-cailed "dry belt" region. The western section Is already com- pleted, including sixteen hundred miles of canals and ditches. The eastern section Is In process of de- â- velopment where twenty-five hundred miles of canals and ditches will be required for the service. On April 25, 1914. the great Irriga- tion dam at Bassano, Alberta, was opened.

The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hani the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysen- i try and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove dead- ly if not promptly treateil. During Uie summer the mothers beiit friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regu- late the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy.

The intention of the city authorities wa.s to produce cheap sausage. Their goodwill was mos'w jiraiseworthy. but unfortunately their etforts mat with no success. Large quantities of "blended .saus- age'' were placed on the market. Why "blended sausage"?

Most hotel-keepers have not been business men but liquor hand- lers. Lodgings and food have been merely an Incident Some of them ex- pected to lost money on their tables. The wastefulness was appalling yet the supplying of good food and good accommodation Is one of the most pro- fitable businesses In tho world to-day. In Canada it has been more or less of a disgrace to be associated wit)h, or even seen in, an hotel. In Europe and tho United States some of tlio richest and most prominent families socially are investing and naming hotels after themselves and tho hotel is becoming . u social centre. j The mostJ successful hotel-keepers are men who began In the kitchen and dining-room; who lournt the business from that end.
