Hodgson BIliB, Official Analyst to the Dominion 0':<^- ernment, has recently made a number ot analyses of soaps, and reports that " Sunlight Soap contains that high " percentage of oils or fats necessary " to a good laundry soap." What every woman does not know Ir that in common soaps she fre- quently pays for adulterations at the price ot oils and fats. Try Sun- light Soap â€" Octagon Barâ€" next wash day, and you will see that Prof. Bills Is right. He should know. 206 WHAT A MAN DOES. A man nuxy bo cool as un icicle under extraordinary circumstances of danger or excitement; he may pre- serve an oven mind when a ghost comes into his room at micliilgiit; ho may assume conunand and act nobly and well when the ship is sinking; but let Uiat man, let any man. ui>- sot his inkstand, and he springs to his feot, makes a desperate grnsp for the inkstund, and knocks it half- way across tho table, claws after papers, and swoops them through the sable puddle to save them, tears his white silk handkerchief from his pocket and mops up the ijtk with it, and after he has smeared the table, his hands, an<l his tron.scrs with ink, us far as it could be made to go, discovers that early in the eng'ago- nient be knocked the inkstand clear off tho table, and 'it 'has been drain- ing its life 'ink away all that time in Uie center of the only ligUt figure in the pattern in the carpet. Then ho wonders why a man always makes a fool of himself when ho upsets a bottle of ink. Ho doesn't know why. Nobody knows why. But ev- ery time it is so. If you don't be- lieve it, try it.

Many farmers, especially those who have attended the Agricultural C.-;l- legcH, are familiar with the name, John Fixter. Mr. I'ixter is foreman of tho Do- minion Experimental Farm at Ot- tawa. Ho has been enjoying a diversion from his regular duties of late, in- specting tho 4,000 harrows made by Massey-Harris Co., Limited, for the British Government for use in South Africa. • • Jlr. Fixter saya that lie has per- sonally marked each Harrow with the Government stomp. The whole shipment of 4,600 was made within one month of the date the order was received, which re- decls much credit on Masse.v-IIarris Company and Canadians generally. The Harrows â-  were made in the Brant ford Factory of Massey-Harris Company. Home idea of tho capa- city of this plant may be gathered when it is known that this big order was fdled while the regular work of supplying implements of various kinds for the world's best farmers was still in progress. .Speaking ot tho world's best far- mers, it is astonishin.g that this ompany should have gathered to- -Tcthcr such an enviable list of Matrons in almost all quarters of the globe. Tho fame of the Massey-Harris im- plements extends among the farm- ing commuaity of the entire world. Tho onl.v conclusion wo can dr&vr is that the business has been built up on honest methodsâ€"the company has given its patron.'i, the farmers, i;ood va.'ue for 'their money, and dealt honestly and fairly with them at all times. IjOvc's labor for the lost is novor lost. Tliero Is more tJatarrh In this .seuciOD of Iho country than all other diseases put together, and until tho last tew years was siiiiposeil to bo incurable.

The Great Catarrh Spsciailst Explains .Seventeen years ago a young, but highly honored Murgeou in the British Koyal Navy astomslted his friends by euddenly leaviug tho service and enter- ing on privuto practice. 'i'hat tiurgeoa was tho now famous Catarrh Speciiilist, Ur. Sproule, IJ.A. His keen brain had early seen in thu then new diseasi} Ca- tarrh a menace to the life and happiness of the civilized world. Wtiilo other phy- sicians were neglecting it ua unimportant. Dr. .Sproulo studied its nature and th* means of cure, lie labored in otllce, hos- pital and laboratory. Ko mastered th* sulijact. As llr. .Sproule hart foreseen, Catarrh spread witli frightful rapidity. Twenty years ago Catarrh was almost unknown. Now no ago. sex or condition is exempt from it. No climate or locality la • cure for it. Catarrh is to be mora dreaded tiian yellow fever or smallpox. It is. in tho large majority of ca.ses tho forerunner of Consumption. Vital stat- istics show that deaths from Consump- tion in tills country have increased mor« than aoO |>(.T cent, in the last five years. Nearly all of these cases have been track- ed back to Catarrh as their starting point. Dr. aproulo makes the treatment of Catarrh a specialty. He cures Catarrh, Dr. Sproule, tho first to make Catarrh a Specialty, ha.s perfected the only scientific, constitutional and PERMANENT cure, t^ocal washes, sprays, halms, snuffs, etr., only relievo for a time. They often do harm liy driving the Catarrh germs deeper into tho sysic.:i. CONSUMPTION. IllllGI-lT'S DISlDASi;;, PAlNrUL STOAIACH LlSOKDKKti are liable to result. t-'atarrh is a disease of the mucous membraiio and is curable only through thu kluod, and by medicines prepared tor each case. Medicine that will cure one will often harm another. Dr. Sproule'a method drives every gorm out of the body. It clears the head, stops tho huwkins and spitting, sweetens the breath, strengthens the eyes, restores tho hearing. It purities and enriches the blood, it invigorates and tones up the entire svstem. It gives new liie. energy and ambition. Ihe hardships of life seem easier to bear. Work becomes a pleasure. 'J ho man teols as if made over. Dr. Sproule's name is revered as that of a benefactor in thousands of Cana- dian homes, if you have any symptoms of Catarrh, the doctor earnestly in- vites you to write to him and tell him all about it.
