Patient. Cheerful Dentist Who Became an Inspiration A good man died in Montreal, writes woman journalist. Three days ter they buried him amidst a forest 0! flowers and a rain of tears. He was a dentist. He did not belong to one of what are so called "the learned professions; although I should like to know which of the “learned profes- sions" contributes more to the ease. comfort and health of mankind than does skillful dentistry. They have taken in the modest sign with the name and the initials, “DDS.” after it. His patients have scattered as mem- bers of a suffering tribe to other den- tal oflices and told their troubles to other men wearing snowwhite coats and a patient expression and holding shining metal instruments in their hands. And as they have visited these offices they have all heard the same speech: “He took good care of your teeth. He did his work well." The patients have gone back to their homes or offices or stores or work benches with thoughts other than of their pain and loss. They were in- spired by the words: “He did his work well.” A renewed ambition flamed in their breasts. They resolved it should be truthfully said of him: “He has done his work well.” What more can the man who is leaving this world ask? One thing more. It may be said of him: “He always made me more cheerful." I had known this man for eighteen years. For all those {ears he had guarded my teeth with the care that a dainty woman gives to her jewels. But he did more for me than that He never failed of a cheery greeting and a gay farewell. He kept the even tenor of good humor. I asked him one day how he maintain- ed his unbreakable composure. to all men and women, in all weather, men tal and otherwise. He polished care fully the last filling while he answer- ed: “Sometlmes when people come in at that door they ruffle me. But I never let them know it.” The surly the irritable, the suffering, the meek. all received from him the same greet- ing, the same careful professional treatment, the same god-speed. Latterly his strength had been abat~ ins. He confessed that his last va~ cation had been prolonged and that he hadn’t undertaken his new season's work with as much vim as before. He told ‘me of his plans to; lessening his work. There ‘should be lees?‘ quantity of that work but not less 0 quality. He would establish a home apart from his office. It was wearing upon him a little. Yes. but there was no change in his fine workmanship. None in his manner.

There was an inarticulate sound, a dropping of his head upon his breast and he was gone. But the last patient who had left his chair, just as the light was growing too dim for work, said what those of all the other years had said: “He was most careful in his work. And he smiled and joked when wé shook hands." Bolglans Can Teach Much in Industry and Skill In the country, writes a Canadian visitor to Belgium, I found the same careful treatment of the land as in the suburbs of the city. Plough land, which may be sown with rye or wheat, is what the Flemish peasant values most, and he spares no labor to ren- der every square yard of his farm suit- able for the plough. It is the con. :stant pre-occupation of the farmer to transform the lower meadow land into rulough land. On the small farms one can see how in every slight depression of the fields there is a carefully de- rositezl little heap of road scrapings and other rubbish, maybe brought to- gether little by little by the children, in order to fill it up and thus level the field. And. equally, every slight 9'.‘.'Clllllg of the ground is levelled down. 1 saw fields in which the upper layer of vegetable mould had been 23.152811 off; then the sand below had .302: excavated to a certain depth and :~_~s;'i; and finally the mould had been 3-:‘3238d so as ‘‘0 make the field quite wen. Only the lowest portions of :he land are given to meadow, and no ‘5 ENGLISH” :1‘2': border, to bring up a few rab~ ‘its. Even the meagre vegetation along the roadsides is utilized; the sherherd every day takes his sheen along the country roads, as they 9,1. ways find something to nibble on the roadsides and on the borders of the pitches. Ber is shared in irrigating and man- uring them, so as to obtain wonderful TTJDS of hay. Strict economy in land is the rule. Hodges are kept only along the main goals and the main di tches, and then mm; are only made of such bushes : give fuel wood. The plough is :or ught very r ose to the edge of the "edge, and the narrow slip that is {sit is cultivated, down to the very ots of the bushes, with the spade, and then clover_ will be sown‘ upon 1 ilarvest all Red Clover Seed Prospecvive supplies of red clover seed are very much reduced and at test Canadian farmers next year will race an extreme shortage with high prices. Farmers should endeavor yet this Autumn to save every bit d the red clover crop that promises to “old good seed. MAKING LAND ARABLE . Major R. W. Leonard, speaking be- fore the Canadian C. E. Society, said: “Oswego is about 150 miles nearer (by Erie Canal) to Troy than is Bu!- falo, and, as the enlarged Welland . Canal will be, by treaty, free to United States ships. their largest lake ships will deliver grain cargoes to 1,500-ton United States barges at Oswego. in the New York State Barge Canal for New York instead of into 200 or 300- ‘ton barges at Buffalo as at present, g and thus compete with large Canadian ; ships discharging into 2,000-ton barges ’ at Prescott or Kingston tor Montreal. 9 In the past the little Erie canal boats gtaking grain from Buffalo to New 5 York have been very keen competitors 9 against the St. Lawrence route. What iwill be the result of the new con-. ,ditions when in operation? It would lappear that the expenditure on the, proposed Welland Canal enlargement % when completed will be quite as much ‘to the advantage of the United States as to Canada. and during construction PFObably much more than half the cost goes to the United States for coal and machinery.” Weiland Canal Will Help New State Routes Sir Thomas Lipton and “Tim” the young baboon from far off Uganda which Sir Thomas chose as mascot for the Shamrock IV. Though the war interrupted the races set for the Autumn of 1914, Sir Thomas did not give up hope of eventually lift- ing the America's Cup. He boxed up his racer on the Brooklyn water-front, set a strong guard over her, and sat back to await as pa- tiently as possible the return of peace. The United States Loet Leaders in Many Branches HELPS UNITED STATES Great Yachtsman and Mascot MANY SPORTSMEN DIED m DURHAM CHRONICLE. Robert Watson, M.D., writes: “i may begin with a remark made by Glad- stone towards the end of his career. '1 am losing,’ he said, “the only really great gift I ever possessedflthe power of sleep.’ Gladstone, who knew how brain and nerves could be worried and wrought, appreciated what sleep did for him. bsmg the most wonder- ful instrument in the world in a way that taxed its capabilities and endur- ance to the utmost, and moving from crisis to crisis in a full life with no opportunity or desire to evade these testing times, he could measure and appreciate the value of sleep. Smaller men, less tried by circum- stances, might never discover the ex- tent of this ooon. But all of us ought to snow it, and one of the prime es- sentials in a seasoned physical culture is to manage this daily business "of sleep in a way to secure all the profit that are ours by right. Too often we act as if we did not understand what sleep wasâ€"shove it off until there seems no longer any excuse for re- maining awake, and then take it stupidly, brutishly, unprofitably save in the oarest senseâ€"and all just be- cause we failed to realize that there is an actual pleasure in sleep. Meals, like sleep, are for our benefit. 3 ’e grasp that fact. More often than not, however, our zest for the table! is purely sensual; eyes, nose, and pal-I ate are tickled, and that satisfaction, brings us back at the appointed hour for the next feed. Sometimes there is an actual call from the exhaustedl frame. But about sleep there seems' no attraction save for the lowest and highest of mankind, the indolent who' enjoy it as an escape from work, and! the fine spirits who appreciate theq keen edge a proper sleep puts upon all their iacuides. i Vice-President Howard G. Kelley ot the Grand Trunk Railway System, has ordered inserted in the book of rules governing the operating department, the ioiiowihg message to new em- pioyes: “Your success in the service you are about to enter will depend upon the care you exercise in the dis-charge or your duties. The best record-you can make, both for your- seh‘ and {or the Company, is the re« cord of a considerate and careful man. There are engineers, conductors and others who have worked for the Grand Trunk from twenty to thirty years without receiving injury themselves or causing injury to a single one at their fellow employes. Everybody re- spects the man who can make that kind of record.” One of the most diflicult things to comprehend today is, that it is the amount of clear money, over and above the cost of feed, that deter- mines what each and every cow is worth. Not what gross returns she makes. It is only when we begin to test systematically that we realize this. A farmer in Oxford Country, in 1906 had a herd of cows producing about 5,000 pounds per cow. In four years, by selecting his best producers and breeding from them, using good bulls, he raised the average produc- tion of his herd of 70 cows over 1.1500 pounds per cow. Twenty of these produced over 8,000 pounds. And he hoped in a couple of years more to raise the average of his whole herd to 8,000 pounds, which he has since accomplished. Most of this work was on grade cows, attained by keeping records and by weighing the milk only three times per month. Of course, he fed generously, but it does not mat- ter if our cows do consume a little more feed, if they give in turn a greater net profit. Another man in Wentworth County graded up his herd until it is now producing nearly 7,000 pounds per cow. These are only two instances. There are dozens of them, but there are not nearly enough. They demonstrate, however, that this thing can be done.
