but the overruling question at the present time was lack of labor.It would be useless to have instructions and demonstrations when there were no farmers to listen to them and profit by them.\"The lack of farm labor Is commencing to become a serious question all over Canada,\u201d the Minister continued.\u201cEven with very favorable j climatic conditions, I predict a small-j er crop next autumn.\u2019A good number' I of our farmers in all parts of the! j country have enrolled or are working j in munition plants.If our farmers | , are attracted to fibe army or to I manufacturing establishments we can expect a diminution of agricultural production, and it is necessary to prepare to meet it.There is only | one remedy to apply, and that is to do as in England, and have enrolment for agricultural purposes.\" Adelard Fortier, chairman of the agricultural committee, submitted some figures to the Chamber on the Britain, it is hoped that as many importation of eggs from the United associations as possible will take States to Canada.From December advantage of this proposition.All 115, 1916, to March 1, 1917, Canada associations desiring to become ac- had imported from the T ntted States;

there Is absolutely no waste.To permit such fisheries to become extinct, unless detrimental to others of more value, Is commercial waste and inefficiency.\u2014Conservation.WAR WIDOW CONDUCTOR Dry Cleaning Feather* into a strong paper bag put about one cupful of plain household flour and half the quantity of powdered borax.Hhake well to thoroughly mix, then put the feathers in the bag and shako gently till ulean.If very dirty, repeat this process.This is much more satisfactory than using soap and water, as II save- recurling T O O K E COLLARS IS CENTS EACH TOOKE BROS.LIMITED MAKERS -\t- MONTREAL Man Fare: \u201cGo On, Smack Mel\" and She Did A woman tramwav conductor, who s» husband had been killed at the front, at Hendon Petty Sessions summoned William Frederick Purspy qf Essex road, Islington, for using Insulting language to her.Mrs.Adams, the conductor, said when j^raoy boarded the car It was full jnslde and she said\u2019 \u201cOutside only, please\u201d puraev, going up the stairs, used objectionable language When she took hts fare she said: \"Becaufle I am a woman I am not here to ba Insulted.I have given a better man than you to the country.\" He migfht thtnk himself lucky he did not «et a smack tn the face.Puroey said: \"Go on, smack me,\u201d and she did.as he again used insulting language.He then struck her tn tne face with his fist, blackening her eye.Bhe was off duty for five days.The Bench said there was no excuse for Purs.ey\u2019s conduct.Women who were serving tn the place of men at th* front must be protected.They were sorry they could not send him to prison.A lino was imposed.j- People who know the Rest are apt Before Storing Your Furs isn\u2019t there some rip, tear or worn part that needs repairing?H ave Holt Renfrew do it.and furs repaired or altered to the extent of $25 are stored free of charge in the finest and safest storage vaults in Eastern Canada.Express your furs now to CHoltF^eiifrew&Co.limited.Quebec.And enclose this adv.in the parcel.| SPECIAL Sada ^.When tmd Ho« \u2019toPaim ¥ PFfT U rjrtw- .You Need this Book It is a text-book \u2014 not a catalogue.Helpful \u2014 Concise \u2014Complete.Send for It before you undertake any kind of^painting\u2014it will show you the way, and save you from many costly mistakes.It is full, from cover to cover, of practical, sensible hints and suggestions which will help you solve your paint problem.It has saved time, labor and money for progressive Canadian farmers and home maker® everywhere.Next to having good paint is knowing how to use it.Are you mixture that (he (Mas# of failure ia paintin* is rarely with the paint, but with the conditions of the anriacc before the paint is applied ?Are you aware that lighter colors are best for the email bouse ?\u2022\u2014 that the darker or medium shades show best on the larger house P Are you mware that hj$h grad® machine-made paints give hetref results and are cheaper in th# end than any other kind P The Do yea knew why point pmtecta objecta to which it ia applied and prevents decay ?yea know what kind of rush to use for painting different surfaces P Pa you know why Oil Paint is preferable to Water Paint in painting a house ?Po you know why a gallon of the best Paint covers a much larger surface better than cheaper grades ?This book answers these questions, and hundreds of others as important.Conada Paint Products are the best that money will buy and this book shows you how to use them for satisfactory results.Seod for your copy of free book today.Canada Paint Co., Limited, 568 William Street, Montreal.\"Sunspar\" is the best varnish for outside use. rvovTrsT.l/ i TEN !

Sent by Pte.Owen Egleston, of Dixville, Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea.with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked srai faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant.Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul-: phur at home, though, is troublesome.An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as 'Wyeth\u2019s Sage and Sulphur Compound,\u201d thus avoiding a lot of muss.While wispy, gray, faded hair is n.: sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness.By darkening your hair with Wyeth\u2019s Sage and Sulphur Compound no one car tell, because it does it eo naturally, so evenly.You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time ; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared.After another application or two your hair becomes beautn.hiy dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and y.vi aïpear years younger.Wyeth\u2019s Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite.1- is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.\u201cTir-ii M io SORüp MD Use \u201cTiz\u201d for Aching, burning, puffed-up feet and corns or callouses.\u201cSure!

THE STREET RAILWAY.Editor Record, Sir:\u2014Kindly allow me space to explain matters re Street Ry.now under discussion.Our council held a meeting this week.The street railway question was referred to.After our mayor explained full details, j council agreed unanimously it would be best for our town to sell light j plant to Montreal company.Instead of dealing with others as previously: mentioned in the Record, as tlris! company would lurnlsh power and use their influence to get.manufacturing plants to locate here.Some of our citizens claim if we should sell our light plant for $5,500.00 and do not get any payments for 10 years, and only the lighting of our streets free as interest, the company should give us guarantee in writing when, and how large a plant they could induce to locate here, or guarantee bonds to build this road, the latter being preferred by a great many.The question has been asked would the farmers assist.Messrs.John Ross, Henry Purdy, E.Hatch.P.Berwick.Fred Moe.W.A.Hale, Wm.Brautt have signed contracts they will give 87,000 sq.yds.of gravel and remarked if this was not sufficient they would stretch it out.Other farmers who have no gravel advised they would give dirt for filling.As I have only a small place and no gravel or filling to give, 1 will give $800.00.Trulv yours, FRED J.ALGER.Bromptonville.April 5.1917.SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR WARNS AGAINST KAISER l e \u2018 TIZ\u2019 and forget tout foot misery.Ah !
