What pleasant memorles i, . Muger with us of snow.capped & _’;*Ahl and fertile valleys and ‘‘au amiable and lovable people. Here which is crossed by three beautiful ‘bridges and divides the city intc #wo parts. In this part of the coun: 4ry German is spoken and the tradespeople‘s signs indicate OCerâ€" man predominance. We stayed at the Euler Hotel, no doubt called after Euler, the mathematician, a mative of Basle. ‘The hotel was spotlessly cleamâ€"and the meais par emcellence. We had meals sorved in the garden on a stone.flagged terrace and needless to say it wu‘ véry refreshing and invigorating afâ€" ter an all day‘s hot journey from Paris. ‘The traveller goes to Switâ€" seriand to look at mountains, but they are not the only things, as there are cities and towns and the admirable Swiss people, who have made their land in many respects the model country of the world. Although Switzerland may be the playground of Europe,it is not the playground of the Swiss people, but their workshop, where they toil at industries of which we hear very little. We know only that they make watches, music boxes, wooden. ware and cheese and that they are the best hotelâ€"keepers in the world. We left Basle for Lucerne, a dis. tance of 59 miles, where we stayed at the Hotel del Europe, which is located part way up the mountain~ side, and from where we had a comâ€" manding view across Lake Lucerne with the snowâ€"capped mountains of Rigi and Pilatus rising to the clouds from its shore. Undoubtedly Lu. cerne is the most beloved of the Bwiss cities for tourists and it is difficult to get accommodation at the height of the tourist season. Alâ€" thoughâ€"the architecture is nowadays tending to the uniform and comâ€" monplace in many European cities, Lucerne has retained the quaint old beauty which appeals to the sight. seer. One interesting structure is the old Kapellâ€"Brucke, which spans the River Reuss. This is a covered bridge and on the arches under the roof are paintings portraying hisâ€" toric events in Switzerland. One day we took a run across Lake Lu. cerme to Vitznau, where we took the incline railway to the top of Mount Rigi, some 5,000 feet above the level of the lake. To climb the Bwiss Alps is now comparatively easy as all we need to do is to transâ€" fer to the Alpine or cogâ€"wheel rail way. This railway is narrow gauge and in the centre is a special track om<which the cogâ€"wheel runs. The little engines, which are especially built for mountain climbing, are very powerful, and under perfect control at all times. 1t is the cogâ€"wheel mechanism which makes it so effl. clent in every way. A trip up and down an Alpine railway is at once | the most fascinating, thrilling and emazing it has ever been our fortune to make. There are not more than two small cars to each engipe, and and as we mount higher and higher the delightful panorama across Lake Lucerne unfolds in the glorious sunâ€" shine we were so fortunate to have. | We zig.zag here and there and elimb along the walls of gorges, down which we can see for hundreds of feet. We now creep into a tunnel and wind up a spiral inside the %ountain, and when we emerge again we are hundreds of feet higher up , where another ‘aweâ€"inspiring view ‘awaite us as we look across the lake at snowâ€"capped Mount â€" Pilatus in the distance. Along the route here and there on the hilisides amd in an occaglonal valley, small farms, with dainty cosy little cha. letw dotted th6 enchanting landâ€" #oape.. On the way up the moun. thin at the small station, pretty 1itâ€" maidens were offering fruits and zq; for sale. We treated ourâ€" wealÂ¥es and received a sweet smile &# thanks in return.

This lion is hewn out of the solid rock of a sheer cliff rising from a pretty garden in the heart of the city. It is a memorial of the Swiss guards who alone were faithful, and paid for their fidelity with their lives, in defending and saving Louis XVIL of France against the fury of _We left Lucerne for Lugano, on the Italian border. On this trip we pass through dozens of tunnels, the largest of which is the St. Gothard, which is nine miles long. As we leave Lucerne the mountain scenery becomes more aweâ€"inspiring. We wish we could portray to you the surpassing grandeur of the mounâ€" tain streams. The raging torrent at our feet has its origin away up there at the foot of the eternal snows that cap some of these AL pine peaks. There with a drip, drip. drip, the little drops disappear in the crevices of the rocks, where with a gurgle of praise to its creator for the joy of existence the little ~rivulet springs into life and is off on its rampage down the mountain side. Now it is but a tiny stream pushing: its way here and there, but soon gathers in volume and plunges headâ€" long, and splashes is spray against the rocks, and the ‘mist rises and is borne up the mountain side, where all is so refreshing and green. Now it plunges into a pool and eddies along until with a sudden leap over: the ledge of a sheer rock it is preâ€" clpitated for hundreds of feet and unfolds like & bridal veil. It again lingers for a moment in another pool, and with an eddying swirl it plunges through rugged chasms and after a wild and tumuiltous carcer it soon joins the larger river in the valley where it flows peacefully on its way to the sea. Around Lugano the Italian cus. toms and language naturaily predomâ€" inate, being near the border. Luâ€" gano, located on a lake of the same rame, amidst towering mountains, is ideal. Beautiful gardens and. semi.tropical growth such as palm end filbert trees, surrounded our hotel. Here we went up Mount Sal vatore by incline railway. This rail way was run by cable and is much steeper than that of Mount Rigi. The ascent was another of those charming panoramas of rural Swit. zerland. Around here we saW WO men doing heavy manual labor and carrying bundles of hay and other things on their backs. We passed through Altorf, famous in legendary lore in comnection with the heroic William Tell, who shot the apple | from the head of the brave little son ’who was the apple of his eye. Before leaving Switzerland we must visit Interlaken, meaning be tween two lakes, viz., Brienz and Thun. This town of 3,000 people has about 40 hotels which have un formed linguistic experts to meet the tourists on the arrival of the trains to make them feel at home. The outlook from these hotels is probâ€" ably one of the most admired in Ewitzerland, a simple but grand and glrious view. A level foreground of green, two gentle hills, one rocky cliff, and a great lnowch.‘ peak, the incomparable Jungfrau, meaning "young woman," sometimes called "Maiden Mountain," 13670 feet high. We spent one day going part way up the Jungfrau. _ An hour‘s ride brings us to the lovely Lauterbrun. nen valley. This wood means "nothâ€" ing but springs," and is wonderfully picturesque. There are falling waâ€" ters, cascades and torrents, cataracts and rivers waters leaping into view at every turn, as if the region were indeed alive with springs, and at the far end of the valey a beautl. ful snowâ€"<apped mountain comes to view. We continue on to Schiedegs, which is about. halftway up the Jungtrau. From bm\ we have a fine view of the mountain through | a large telescope, and incidentaily we saw a chamols perched on the| .

These sudden squalls claim many victims among the mountain climb ‘ers. On our return from this trip the storm subsided and a rain folâ€" lowed, and though a rift in the clouds the sun cast its rays and two beautiful rainbows arched the skies, a fitting close for the end of a perfect day. _‘ New Roosras», P.Q. "In 1919, I was taken with Bronchial tsthma and no one knows what I 'n.flond with it during the winter. began having Choking ping Rays, the choking spells stopped, and We visited Berne, the capital city, in which we were particularly interâ€" ested as the canton of Berne was the home of our forefathers. Swit zerland enjoys the reputation of be. ing one of the best governed counâ€" tries in the world, and like most good things it is small, being about threeâ€"quarters the size of Nova Scotia. The tourist traffic is tre. mendous and thousands come eyery season to see what is undoubtedly the most picturesque country in the world.~ In the presence of great mountains we grasp, as We never have grasped before, the signiâ€" ficance of three words, that mean so much to anyone who thinksâ€" beauty, infinity, eternity. s THOUSANDS IN THIS CONDITION CAN EASILY HELP THEMâ€" SELVES RUN DOWN PEOPLE WEAK AND NERVOUS There are thousands of people who bear the pain and . discomfort of minor ills in the hope that the in: disposition is only temporary and will be outgrown in time. Often such illnesses are not serious enough to require the attention of a doc. tor but will respond to intelligent home treatment if a reliable remedy . is used. Women, busy with a mul: titude of household cares, young women in offices or stores, or girls studying hard in school, easily fall a prey to that condition of bloodâ€" lessness known as anaemia. The trouble need not be serious if prompt measures are taken to check it in ite early stages. Dr. Williams‘ Pink | Pills will restore the elements need. ied to bring the blood back to strength, and onee the blood regains its healthy quality the entire body will soon show the benefit. Among the many who have found benefit through the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills is Mrs. Albert W. Smith, Miscouche, P.E.L., who says:â€""I was very much broken down in health had pains in the region of my heart, and was so short of breath that if I went upstairs I would have to lie down as soon as I reached the top. Then a strange nervous twitching of the muscles took posâ€" session of me, and every muscle in my body would apparently be twitch. ing. I became very emaciated, and\ my family were much alarmed as to my condition. At this time I read an article in our home paper conâ€" | cerning Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and . decided to give them a trial. The result was that in a short time 1 felt much improved, and under furâ€" ther use of the pills I felt like a new woman, had gained in weight and was in every way beiter. I would urge anyone affiicted as I was to give Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills a‘ burg High School. (.) indigates 1st more.

Reginald~ Buller tells the remarkable stor;, of what @ head of wheat did in Canada. In 1903, Dr. C. E. Saunders, ,who reâ€" cently resigned his position as Doâ€" minion Cerealist, succeeded in obâ€" taining a single head of wheat which was rich in milling and bakâ€" ing qualities, and hbad a_ larger vield and would ripen, on an averâ€" age, nearly a week earlier than the famous Red Fife Wheat. The new wheat was called "Marquis." Neil Garland geog. 2, agr. 2. Clarence Eirb, geog. 2, art 2, agr. Grace Peacock art 2. Paul Peacock, history c, geog. ¢. Vera Nahrgang, history c, geog. Arthur The grains from this head of: wheat were sown in a little plot at the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and the following August the tiny crop of less than a pound of grain was stowed away in a small paper packet. Within a dozen years the largest elevators in the Dominion were overtaxed with the crops which were raised from that single head of wheat. Last year between twenty and thirty million acres of land in Canada and the (Jnited States were sown with Marquis wheat. Professor Buller says that this presents one of the most exâ€" traordinary examples of vegetable increase that our planet can show.

The Drury Government in the three three years‘ service it has given to the Province had made a legislaâ€" tive and â€" administrative . record, which, in the main, has received the stamp of public approval. It was justified in looking forward to the next general election, confident of the support of the United Farmers of Ontario, and it had good reason to expect, in addition, a very generous measure of support from urban vot ers who stand for good government irrpepective of party, and who have been compelled by the fortce of facts to abandon early fears of selâ€" fish class legislation by a farmer dominated House. Those who be. lieve that this support would have been given freely to the Government as it stands today will regret that the Premier had seen fit to preâ€" cipitate an issue that cannot but provoke sharp differences of opinâ€" lon and harm the farmer movement no matter what the outcome may ‘"‘The Premier, it appears, has not asked the United Farmers for their opinion on the new party proposals, but it will be the United Farmers who will say ‘yea‘ or ‘nay,‘ as their "judgment indicatesâ€"not the leaders of the movement ,who, after all, are only ‘its servants; but the local clubs apd friendly farmers all over the Province, who brought the movement into existence. If they are prepared to admit that the idea of an independent farmer group, standing for the good of the Pro. vince generally, but primarily conâ€" cerned with the needs of the agricut tural industry, was a mistake, and are now ready to drop it for particâ€" ipation in a new party, bullt\ essen.. tially on the lines of the old organâ€" izations, no one has a right to question their decision.

It has loyâ€" ally supported Premier Drury and his Government and will corftinue that support. But the Sun, which owes its first alleglance, not to in dividuals, but to the farmers‘ move. ment, is convinoed that faithful ness to its trust bars it from acâ€" cepting and supporting a plan that mo thoughtful man can fail to real. }m must end in undoing all the work of the past few years."
