Elephant is Rival of Tractor In Farming Along Congo River In the open areas of the Congo Basin where mid-African food necessities now require the plough, Belgium has developed a rival to the gasoline farm tractor. Its motive power is generated by fifty grammes of salt a week, a little cassava stimulant and such wild roots and plants as abound Tracy Phillips, reporting to The London Times from Api, says the tractor's rival is immune from the tsetste fly that bothers domestic draught animals, can pull stumps, turn the sod of one and one-quarter acres a day, is operated by a mahout getting 24 cents a day, and is fourteen times less costly than ploughing by tractor." This new aid to the farmer is elephant. It is increasing in the Congo Basin, but further statistical details indicate that the effect on Detroit' annual output of 300,000 tractors i not immediately threatened. After forty-eight years of trial and expert ment, there are available only about twenty-four trained or partly trained farm elephants in the region; they work but six hours a day; their stint of one and a quarter acres compares with twenty-five or more for the American machine, and they cost $2, 400 each against a price of about $400 F.O.B. for the tractor. And the pull stumps and is : ) the t i fly. The Siege of Canada Ottawa Droit (Lib.): Agriculture provides 30.51 per cent., while the wealth of our towns is calculated at 26.99 per cent, of our total wealth. At first sight we may be reassured for the future of our country when we consider that the highest percentage of 30.51 is in favor of agriculture, but on second thoughts, when we compare Assam, the native home of the tea bush, produces teas which are famed the world over for their strength, richness and flavor. The superior and distinctive quality of Red Rose Orange Pekoe is largely due to these fine quality Assam teas, of which it is chiefly composed.

R.I. the 30 per cent, of our rural wealth with the 2 per cent, of our urban wealth, and when we consider the enormous extent of our territory, v. may fairly ask if Canada is not in pr cess of changing from an agricultural to an industrial country. American capital besieges or solicits us without ceasing, without delay or discourage-mentt. It wishes to invest Canada and to capture it. The Americans long to subjjugate us economically as they have subjugated Cuba, San Domingo, Haiti and Nicaraugua. The increase of urban wealth at the expense of agricultural wealth may well our ruin. It would be the" hand of the United States upon Canada. It wou only remain for the Americans to d the Nicaragua Canal and to canal:; the St. Lawrence for them to impose their will on both the Americas and perhaps the entire world.

The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science Is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since Its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, taste- less alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as much acid, and the symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn the efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle to try. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips' Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for 50 years in correcting excess acids. Each bottle contains full directions--any drugstore.

GREAT HELP TO YOUNGMOTHERS Baby's Own Tablets Have Many Uses and Are Absolutely Harmless. To have in the house a simple, harmless remedy for the minor ills of and little children is a great boon to young mothers, and this exactly why Baby's Own Tablets have been found in thousands of households. The Tablets regulate the stomach and bowels, break up colds and simple fevers, allay the irritation of cutting teeth, yet they have no drug taste and the children like them. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. Ruth-n Crommiller, Ruthven, Ont., writes: "Kindly send me your little book on e Care of the Baby. I have two children, one four , years of age the other a year and a half. Both in excellent health and the only medicine they have had is Baby's Own Tablets. I always keep the Tablets in the house and am happy to mend them to other mothers." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cts. i box from The Dr. Williams' Medi-:ine Co., Brockville, Ont. Britain Insists On Maintaining Rights in Egypt Correspondence Between the Two Governments Published in British Capital London.--The British Government's reply to the Egyptian Premier's note of March 30, which has been published, reiterates Great Britain's determination to insist on the discharge of its responsibilities under the declaration of 1922, since the Egyptian Government has rejected the tretay negotiated by Sir Austen Chamberlain, British Foreign Minister, and the former Egyptian Premier, Sarwat Pasha. Great Britains thus reserves the ght to protect its comomunications i Egypt, defend Egypt against foreign aggression and care for the "ghts of foreign residents and minor-ies in that country. The note of the new Egyptian Pre-lier, Nahas Pasha, which was also made public by the Foreign Office, declares that the British memorandum of March 4 assumes an attitude unacceptable to Egypt, which, it adds, "cannot without a complete change of characted give to an intervening stateh the right of control" over its own acts. Ihe Egyptian Government, says the note, "cannot admit the principle of intervention," which would be tantamount fx. its veritable abdication, and it furthermore declares that Egypt is fully ready to watch over the security and tranquility of British subjects and other foreigners in Egypt- The British reply declines to accept Nahp's note as a correct exposition of the relations between Britain and Egypt or of their respective obligations. It points out that following the declaration of 1922 recogni7ing Egyp-tion independence subject to reserved, points, Britain informed the foreign powers that the welfare and integrity of Egypt was necessary to the peace and safety of the British Empire an;l that this welfare and integrity always ' would be maintained. The special relations between Bri-; tain awl Egypt, the note continues, [ have long been recognized by the other powers, and Brii.-iin would regard interference of another power !n Egyptian affairs as an unfriendly act. The note concludes that as Egyut has refused a treaty which Britain thought provided1 a settlement of the reserved points, these points "remain reserved to the absolute discretion of his Majesty's Government, the Egyptian "Government exercising its independent authority subject to satisfying his Majesty's Government on these matters."

The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are in what is known as a run-down condition of health is proved by the experience of Mr. John A. O'Neil, Port Hood, N.S., who says: --"It is not possible for me to recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly. I had been gradually growing weaker, and found it hard to do my work. I suffered from severe headaches and pains in the back. I was nervous and easily irritated, and altogether my condition was deplorable. A friend urged me to take Dr. Wil-Pink Pills, and I got a half dozen boxes. I had only taken them a short time when I found them helping me, and by the time I had taken ply I got, I was again enjoying good health. Headaches and pains had disappeared, my nerves were strengthened and I had good reason be thankful that I had followed the advice of my friend."

The Gospel of Play Mrs. Lyttleton Gell in the National Review (London)--A solemn trust has been committed to our day and generation, for the example of Great Britain still carries great, if diminishing, weight both with our Dominions and the world. But with each year fresh blows are struck at our supremacy. The respect in which we are held is dwindling, and the pathos lies in the fact that with such splendid material, we are allowing the Gospel of Play to sap out foundations and weaken our resistance to foes who, whatever their misdoings, at any rate do not lack tenacity of purpose, and are prepared to go to any length to compass our destruction.
