Because peaches were saved for such extra special oc- casions a tradition has grown up about them in many parts of the I country. Some housewives, otherwise ! very bright and a credit to the far- • mers' institutes to which they belong, consider it an extravagance to pre- 1 serve peaches unless they get them at I sacrifice prices. Yet these same wo- men will pay from ten to fifteen cents a quart for currants and berries that need far more sugar to do them up than the already sweet peaches. As peaches usually come in eleven-quart baskets, you will find if you divide the price by eleven, that peaches cost less per quart than any other fruit. But because they were once so great a luxury house-Aives are slow to realize that they should have more of them than of any kind of fruit, for they are both the cheapest and the best. There is no reason why every farmer's wife in the districts where peaches cannot be grown should not buy them as free- ly, as they do other fruits and have them not only when the preacher comes to dinner, Vut when the boys and girls come home from the city, and at all other times when they want to have something luxurious on the table. Also it should be remembered that for eating from the hand the peach is the best fruit of all, but you should use for this purpose only the peaches that you buy in the full light of day. Once upon a time, or, perhaps I should say, "Once upon another time," a newly arrived Irishman went out with a friend to steal peaches. It was very dark, and Pat had been told to grope along the branches for the fruit. Presently he whispered, "Moike!" His friend answered "Phwat!" "Has paiches got legs?" "Naw." "Then, begobs, I've swallowed a straddle bug." • Appendicitis Prevented Life Lengthened Health Maintained Doctors say if people kept their bowels in proper order there would be no such disease on record as appendi- citis. It is due solely to neglect, and is therefore preventable. If you have constipation, bad breath or headache you need medicine right away. The moment you suspect your bowels are clogged you should take Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills, the smoothest regulator of them all. , They move the bowels and cleanse the liver so smoothly you scarcely notice the effect. But you get the action just the same. Taken at night you wake up next morning, clear headed, hungry, rested, ener- getic, feeling like a different man. Why don't you spend a quarter to-day and try Dr. Hamilton's Pills. They work so easy, just as nature would order, never gripe or cause headache. Finest thing for folks that are out of sorts, depressed, lacking in color and spirits. Folks that use Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills are never sick, never have an ache or a pain, â€" feel good all the time simply because the system is^ clean, regulated and healthy.

If by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of a day's work, it is worth while to know the kind of food that will pro- duce this result. A school teacher in the West says in this connection: "At the time I commenced the use of Grape-Nuts my health was so poor that I thouEht I would have to give up my work altogether. I was rdpid- ly losing in weight, had little appetite, was nervous and sleepless, and exper- ienced almost constantly a feeling of exhaustion. "I tried various remedies without good results; then I determined to give particular attention to my food, and have learned something of the properties of Grape-Nuts for rebuild- ing, body, brain and nerves. "Since using Grape-Nuts I have made a constant and rapid improve- ment in health, in spite of the fact that all this time I have been en- gaged in strenuous and exacting jvork. "I have gained twelve pounds in weight and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and I sleep sound. il have such strength and reserve force that I feel almost as strong and fresh at the close of a day's WMk as at the beginning. "Before using Grape-Nuts I was troubled much with weak eyes, but as ^y vitality increased the eyes became stronger. "I never heard of another food as nutritious and economical as Grape- Nuta."

Once upon a time â€" you see I know how to begin a story in the right way â€" a barefoot boy danced by the road- side and shouted gleefully, writes Pe- ter McArthur. It was in Canada, back in the nineteenth century, in the pio- neer days. The little boy was healthy and freckled, and what he lacked in clothes he made up in the kind of body one should have inside of clothes. And he was very, very happy. In fact he was so happy that a passing friend stopped to ask him the cause of it all. "Hurray!" shouted he of the freckles. "Why so happy?" asked the friend. "The preacher is coming to din- ner!" "I didn't know you were so fond of him." "I aint, but whenever the preacher comes to dinner we always have peach preserves." It really is not much of a story, and I am giving it on account of its arch-e-o-log-i-cal interest, and not be- cause it is so very funny. It dates back to the days when people merely knew that peaches are the best of fruits and had not discovered that Canada is the best place to raise the very best of them. The woman who was fortunate enough to get some from a sheltered orchard or from a lone tree that was so fortunately situated that it escaped the frost, put up a few to h^ve for such special -occasions as the visit of the preacher. In those days the minister was a Tea on the Battlefield. Tea suddenly becomes one of the items of war material, and the price has gone up in the primary market about thirty per cent., with prospects of a real shortage and still further advances in price. When warring armies start buying tea for rations on the field with its attendant great waste, and the entire Russian people are suddenly deprived of vodka and turned to tea, then it can scarcely be surprising that such a fluctuation should occur in the price of tea. Messrs. Henderson & Co.'s latest monthly circular issued from Ceylon and just to hand states: "A feature of the market was the record prices paid for flavory teas. The oldest members of the tea trade in Ceylon could not remember such high prices being realized before." * WONDERFUL RUINS. Famous Citadel of the Black King, Christian. TRUE PATRIOTISM. The excellent patriotic work of the File Indians at Balcarros, Sask., con- tinues, and the Canadian Pacific through Mr. W. R. Baker, the Secre- tary of the Company, has revived another encouraging report. It was in October last year that thirty-three of these colonists subscribed" $502.10 to the Patriotic Fund, each farmer giving a certain number of bushels of grain, which when sold amounted to the above sum. During the winter that followed, the now famous File Indian Brass Band gave concerts, thereby raising another $212.00, which went to the Belgian Relief Fund, and since March last, the Red Cross Branch of this Colony hao raised $500.00 and endowed a bed in Clive- den Hospital. The young Indian wo- men have done a great deal of knit- ting and sewing. The branch has a membership of 86, while there are only one hundred and sixty souls â€" thirty-eight men, twenty-sL\ women and ninety-six children â€" in the colony. The patriotism of these Indians does not stop here. Two young men went to the front with the second contin- gent, and six more are going with the next. The File Indians lay claim to having the oldest Red Cross Society member in the British Empire in the person of Pointed Cap. This cele- brated character says that he is the ripe old age of 107, and on November 12th next will attain his 108th year. He is now an "associate member" of the Red Cross, and proudly wears on his heart the little red cross, the em- blem of the society. It is quite pos- sible tWt in addition to the six latest recruits for the frdnt, older members of the colqny will go, as one man who is the father of nine children has ex- pressed his intention of so doing, and his wife says "I will not stop him." Despite the fact that a hailstorm last month destroyed all the crops in the colony, the File Indians are not down- hearted, and have made arrangements to continue their good work during the coming winter month.s to aid the boys across the sea^ thus showing a patriotism worthy of a king. Milkmaids in London. Milkmen in the suburbs are gradu- ally being replaced by milkmaids, and one is sure the milkmaids will not stand the week's task of the male "pram round," which is a seven day's journey. They will not emit the morn- ing howl of the milkman, but some- thing sweeter and fresher. But one would like to be sure that her milk- maid's dress is as appropriate as that of the short-skirted milkmaids we can even now remember, with the yokes on their necks and the pails port and starboard! THE GRANDEES OF SPAIN. When They All Wore Their Hata in the Presence of the King. A grandee of Spain enjoys the pri- vileg«, panted him many hundreds of years ago, of remaining "covered" in the presence of his sovereign. This custom dates from the period when, according to the theory then held, the king was "the first among equals." The ancient formula always at the coronation of kings of old Spain was: "We, your equals, choose you to reign over us." And the king as- sented in this declaration of bis no- bles. There was a time when all gran- dees of Spain wore their hats in the presence of the king, but in time the idea of caste began to prevail, even among the grandees, with the result that they were eventually divided into three classes, and these classes were distinguished by the hat etiquette. The first cla.S3 entered the royal presence covered, and, after an ad- vance of a few steps, put on their hats, unbidden by the king ,and the third class also entered uncovered but did not "cover" until requested to do so by the king. Then, according to the etiquette, "all were equal." There have been grandees who were not Spaniards, â€" notably the Duke of Wellington, upon whom the Cortes conferred the honor in recognition of his services to the state.
