Richmond, Ind.—“ For two years I was so sick and weak from female troubles that when going up stairs I had to go sl °W with my hands on the steps, then sit down at the top to rest, lhe doctor said he thought I should have an operation, and my friends thought I would not live to move into our new house. My daughter asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as she had taken it with good results. I did so, my weakness disappearedj I gained in strength, moved into our new home, do all kinds of garden work, and raised hundreds of chickens and ducks. I cannot say enough in praise of Lydia E.

Worm Turns on Practical Joker.

“It’s a long lane that has no turning” and “He who laughs last laughs best” are tiine-honored axioms, but never the less true, as Al Baumgart, a South St. Paul commisison man, is willing to admit. Some time ago Al sought to Initiate a new employee, but the “worm turned,” and the real joke was on him, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He sent the youth about half a mile down the yards after a “cow anchor.” The youth, when he returned with a 150-pound sack of Iron, was given “ha, ha!” In the office was a box of flowers which Mr. Baumgart had ordered for a dear friend. His victim carefully removed the flowers and filled the box with paper. Unmindful of the change, Mr. Baumgart carried the box to her home. What she said when she opened It is not known. To make matters worse, Mr. Baumgart was obliged to carry the cow anchor back to the scalehouse. Now he’s through with practical jokes.

Too Many “White Hosses."

Addressing a woman’s welfare meeting recently, Mrs. Lloyd George pointed a moral, with a quaintly pathetic little story. It concerned a Yorkshire collier’s wife, who each Saturday made a practice of calling at the pit where her husband worked, with a view to getting him safely home, and, by persuasion and tact, preventing him getting to much drink en route. The poor woman, however, was fain to confess that-she seldom succeeded, and asked why, she replied as follows: “Aw, ye see, lady, Ah might get Bill all reight past t’ White Hoss, but, don’t ye see, lady, theer’s th’ King’s Head, an’ t’ Brahn Coo, an’ t’ Blue Pig—seven other White Hosses, so to speyke —afore Bill gets dahn that haws-mile to ahr haase.”

Something Like It.

In going doiwn the elevator at a hotel the other day a little tot was being taken to the basement barber shop to have her hair trimmed. A man got on at one of the floors and accosted her cheerily with the remark: “Well, Isabelle, and what are you going to do this morning?” • “I’m going down to the cellar to have my hair —hair—to have my hair —” the word would not come, so she finally concluded with, “to have my hair sharpened.”

NEW LIGHT ON THE AZTEC

Professor Says Montezuma Was Not a King, But Merely War Chief of a Confederacy. The overturning of traditions which has been brought about by American ethnologists, who by th? study of Aztec life have come to the conclusion that Montezuma was not a king, but only a war chieftain; that the famous Aztec empire was not on empire at all, but only a loose confederacy of democratic Indian tribes, ts subscribed to by Prof. T. T. Waterman of the University of California, who has just issued a paper on “Bandelier’s Contribution to the Study.” Montezumas “palace” was not a palace, but only war headquarters forthe tribe, according to Waterman. “Montezuma,” he says, “was only an elected war chief. He had not power to declare war, this being the prerogative of the tribal council. The choice of the war chief, was, however, limited to one group, which consisted of a whole family of lineage, but son did not follow father unless elected. The sons of the war chiefs were brought up as private citizens. “The head war chief, such as Montezuma, was of no higher rank than the coadjutor, who held the extraordinary title of Snake Woman. The functions of the man who held this office are not clearly known, but apparently an important part of his office was the gathering and housing of tribute. " “Misunderstanding of Aztec life has arisen,” says Waterman, “from the fact that the Spanish conquerors did not realize the fundamental differences between Indian and Spanish society. Land was not owned by individuals, but by the clan. To the Aztec society was essentially democratic, while Spanish society was essentially feudal.”

How Beloit Received Its Name.

The significance of the name of a city is commonly not difficult to discover. Beloit, Wls., than which no city has a pleasanter name, affords the rare example of a city name manufactured to order, and having no linguistic or other significance. According fo'the recollections of one of the founders of the town, which have recently been presented to the Wisconsin Historical society, the first settler in 1836 named the place “New Albany.” A few months later a meeting of the settlers was held to select a better name for the future city. Several having been proposed and rejected, it was finally agreed “to place the alphabet in a hat and see if we could not get a combination ofi letters that would, give us a name that would be a new one.” While engaged in this, one of the settlers trying to sound a French word meaning “handsome ground” uttered the sound “bellotte.’’ Another settler immediately modified this to “Beloit,” which was considered “like Detroit in sound and pretty and original.” So the newly coined name was adopted., and-by it . “New. Albany.” has ever since been known.—Wisconsin History Bulletin.

His Fables Were Classics.

Jean de la Fontaine, the seventeenth century French genius, who ranks among the greatest fabulists of all time, died 222 years ago, at the age of seventy-four, and to the last he was ‘as naive, improvident, reckless and goodhearted as a child. He was the son of a magistrate, and in his youth proposed to become a priest, but abandoned that project after eighteen months in a seminary, and thereafter, for several years, led an idle and dissipated life. His early es? forts as poet and dramatist were of little worth, and it was not until he was forty-four that he gained fame with his “Contes pour Hire”—tales for laughter. La Fontaine’s masterpiece, his “Fables,” were published between 1668 and 1694, the last book having been completed shortly before his death. In these he satirized the whole range of human nature in its animal counterparts, and produced a work that will always rank as a great classic.

Lynx Meat as Food.

As an article of diet the Canada lynx cannot be beaten when properly prepared, although this may be a surprise to the vast majority of people even in the regions where this big cat is best known. This statement Is made in the belief that the common lynx found in Alaska is the same animal scheduled by the natural histories as lynx Canadensis. If any curious person will take the hindquarters of a lynx in good condition, leave it over night in a bucket of water to which a handful of salt and a teaspobnful of soda are added, and then roast it with potatoes he will have a dish very similar to mountain sheep? admittedly the finest meat tn the world. An onion or two placed in the roasting pan will help. In entertaining hypercritlcaliy fastidious friends it’s just as well to give the dish some o,ther name, in which event its delicious flavor will receive extravagant praise.

To Avoid a Double Chin.

Sleep with the head low if you would avoid a double chin. High pillows thrown the head forward, make a fold of flesh under the chin, amj cause the muscles to relax. Bathe the chin night and morning with very cold water and a few drops of benzoin. A double chin often results from the habit of bending the chin forward and down to read or study, or it may come from being near-sighted. If from habit, learn to raise the object up so that the eyes may be properly focused upon it without bending the head forward. This will also prevent any strain upos the eyes. ’ ,

BIG BUSH NOW ON

For Western Canada and the 160-Acre Homesteads. - , "In a war like this, they also serve and serve effectively who till the fields and gardens. "It cannot be repeated too often that the world needs every ounce of food it can produce this year, and that the growers of that food are sure of good prices. When men now of middle age were casting their first ballot, ‘dollar wheat’ was the farmer’s ideal of prosperity. Today, we have two-doliar wheat, with other grains and meats and vegetables In proportion; and indications ' that any shift from these prices is as likely to be up as down. “Every acre must work. The farmer who Increases his crops is performing a national service, as well as assuring prosperity for himself. There cannot be too much, a united and consistent effort is made, there will not be enough.”—Chicago Journal Now that the United States has Joined with the Allies, the sentiment of the past has merged into the personal interest of the present. The duty of the loyal and patriotic citizen Is to bend every effort to bring the great World’s War to a satisfactory conclusion, to assist in all ways the forces that have been fighting at tremendous odds the giant power of autocracy. Victory is now assured; the union of the great fighting force of the United States navy, its military, its financial co-operation, its full and complete sympathy, will eventually bring about a peace that will be solid and lasting. Canada, just across the border line, that has no mark of fortification, no signs of defense, welcomes the assistance that the United States is rendering, welcomes this new partner into the arena that is battling for a disruption of the forces that breed and beget tyranny and oppression, and fighting for a democratic and free world. What a sight it will be to see the American and the Canadian, with the Stars and Stripes and the Maple Leaf of Canada emblazoned in one fold and entwined in their effort to rid the world of an Incubus that has disregarded all laws—human and divine.

There is a necessity for the greatest effort ever was made, not only on the battle .fields of Europe, not only on the mined and submarined seas, but in carrying out on the peaceful fields of agriculture, the plans so urgently requested by those at the head of the departments of resources. The recent reports by the Government show a great falling off in the amount of grain that may be expected from the crop as of recent date, being only a little over 60 per cent, 16 per cent less than the average. Every patriotic American will bctod all his effort towards increasing this. He may not shoulder a musket, but he can handle a hoe, he can drive a team and manage a plow. He will be doing yeoman service in this way, and assist in a wonderful manner the man who is fighting in the trenches. If he does not now own a piece of land, by all means get one—rent it, buy it—get it There is lot of vacant land that will give ample return for his labor.

The desire to possess a home, to improve it and to prosper, is natural to every American, and today unprecedented offers are being made to secure the residence of the home hunter. The war condition is draining the continent of its foodstuffs and economists are endeavoring to meet the rapid depletion of the nation’s stores of grain and other farm products. Western Canada has proven her claim to being the natural producer of economically grown foodstuffs and is endeavoring to overcome a world’s shortage in necessities by offering her lands, practically free, to anyone who will take them and produce. Labor is scarce in Canada, and is now being bonused. Good wages are offered and the time a farm hand Is drawing pay in 1917. is considered by the Canadian Government, the same as residence duties on one of the free 160acre farms, that this Government Is giving away, in order to settle the fertile prairies and bring about within a few years a half billion ahnual crop Of wheat. v

The most conclusive evidence is available to any inquirer, that Western Canada farm lands will produce more wheat of a better quality and at a lower cost of production per acre than has heretofore been known in graingrowing countries. It is no idle statement to say that yields of fifty bushels to the acre of wheat are grown in Canada; the statement is made in all seriousness and Is backed up by the letters and-affidavits of reliable farmers in Western Canada. are enjoying the same home comforts that their neighbors to the south participate; they have the same good houses, the same good horses and cattle, the same good roads and communication, as well as the same good social conditions, and. best of all, they own their land and what they earn they own for themselves, being a foundation for greater wealth and independence.—Advertisement.

Canada Offers 160 Acres Free to Farm Hands Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in Maintaining Needed Grain Production The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it This special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to complete duties. Two years’ residence instead of three as heretofore, but only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917. This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment for military service but solely to increase agricultural output.
