Might Have Been Very Serious Kearville came very near having a very disastrous prairie fire last week, that might have wiped many ofits farm houses and crops into smoke, A burning stack got away from one of our farmers during one of those strong winds and spread with great rapidity among the grass and stubble, re- quiring the services of some 20 30 farmers with teams and plows before it was stopped. One can- not be too careful these windy days. Now that the presidential election is over across the line the wind may not be so stronz.
What Kind of Microbe, This 7
Rearville is determined to keep on the map—and in the lime- light, too. Epidemics ot one sort and another have broken out in divers and sundry places. Rear- ville, not to be amongst the lone- somes, is experiencing a peculiar but at the same time a very old kind of an epidemic that is play- ing havoc under the fifth rib of some of our lonely bachelors and fair maidens. Whoever is re- sponsible in bringing in and spreading this epidemic, in our otherwise peaceful hamlet, cer- tain it is that quite a number have come in touch with its far- reaching effects, and inta whose calm and unevenful life it may
come next no one knows. The mi-
crobes find a ready response on the lips—and the heart is also a danger spot ; and the head, well, it's all up when the mircobe gets there. Two or three marriages have been the results of this epidemic—with more to follow. Oh, the giddy young things !

OR THE SERENADERS’ LAMENT IN MINOR KEY
A bunch of musicians with tin cans, cymbals, Jute, and harp, paid a nautical senerade to one of our newly-married couples one night Jast week. After tooting off some of Harry Lauder's and Sausa’s latest gems, the sere- naders discovered that they had wasted their talents upon a con- firmed old bachelor, the only occupant of the house, the newly married couple being out joy riding in one of Ford’s 1917 cars, Pilde !!
‘We'didn't hear® what else was said. zs
But just as the serenaders were about to gracefully retire, up drives the cooing young couple. Explanations and apologies en- sued, cigars handed around, and the affair ended up in smoke.

Tt Brings Relief to Boy Standing
His Watch Deep In Mud.
Once upon a time, only a few months after this terrible world war had begun, Private Bailey, a soldier in the ranks, had stood for day: in the trenches “somewhere in France.” TKe cold rains soaked him to the skin; the mud was deep. He had had no rest, Weary and aching with rheumatic pains, he recalled the faith his mother had in Sloan’s “Liniment. He asked for it in his next letter home, A large bottle was immediate- ly sent him and a few applications killed the pain, once more he was able to stand the severe exposure, He shared this wonderful muscle-socther with his comrades, and they all agreed it was the greatest “‘rcinforcement” that had ever come to their rescue.

The first cold snap starts rheumatic pains and aches. You feel it in the knees climbing steps or in the back or shoulders, Joints are — stiff, muscles are sore, every exertion is a painful reminder. You resign your- self to a session of torture.
But there is relief at hand, Sloan's
Liniment, easily applied without rub- bing, it quickly penetrates and drives the crippling pain and disabling ache out of your system. Bending and lifting are no longer agony. Bruises, bumps and sprains follow- ing exercise quickly yield to its ap- plication and mothers have it handy for the numerous minor injuries to children that are more painful than dangerous, Sloan's Liniment quickly soothes. Lumbago, gout, neuralgia and kindred ills that “put grown-ups in misery, chronic cold feet, tooth- ache; in fact, all external -pains are banished by Sloan's Liniment, and it docs not stain the skin or clog the pores, a disagreeable feature of plas- ters and gintments,

Baby’s Footprints to Record Identity
New Method of Registration Which May Be Generally Adopted
There will be no more changelings or Slingsby baby cases if a new sys- tem of recording a child’s identity is generally adopted. ‘The finger-print system is now employed by the po- lice in all countries. A convict whose thumb-print has once been taken can always be identified.
There are obvious difficulties about taking a baby’s finger-print — the hands are always curling and clutch- ing—but its feet present no such ob- stacle, What applies to finger-prints applies to footprints. The impres- sion of a baby’s foot once taken forms a life record.
The footprint system is already employed in one great foreign ma- ternity hospital with most satisfact- ory results. All that is necessary is to cover the sole of the child’s foot with printer’s ink by means of a roller, and then transfer the impres- sion to a sheet of paper. The ink can be cleaned off the foot with al- cohol. Care must be taken not to disturb the impressions before they
are dry, It is claimed that there will |
then exist for all time a record of the baby’s identity which would carry weight in any court of law in after years. No matter how much the feet grow, the lines will have grown with them, and their pattern will not be changed.

New Banking Device
‘Multiple Cheque Is Great Saver of Depositor’s Time
The multiple check is the latest banking device to save depositors trouble, It has been brought out by a. Boston trust company, and its chief use is to make it possible for a depositor to pdy all his monthly bills by drawing one cheque on or about the first of the month.
The new cheque is precisely like the old style cheque, except thar its size is much increased to give room at the bottom for writing a list of firms, with the sum set opposite each one which the drawer desires to pay. These are added up, and the cheque for the total, payable to the bank, is duly filled out and signed,
That ends the bother of the de- positor, for the bank does the rest. It deposits the sums named-:to the credit of such payecs as happen to be depositors and remits. to the others.
The payer may make entry ‘of the firms and amounts paid on the stub of the cheque, or he may enter only the total, saving his statements of account for record.
The plan means more work for the bank and less for the depositor, But the bank gets its reward, no doubt, in the satisfaction of the patron and the consequent attraction of other patrons.
Fhe bank cheque is a wonderful
instrument of business. We have be- come so accustomed to it that we sometimes fail to appreciate its
daily miracle, The-invention of the multiple cheque shows that the uses to which cheques may be put -have by no means been exhausted.

As the number of motor cars mul- tiplies, the more evident it is that constant care by motorists is requir- ed. The highways are not being widened proportionately. There is a continually greater demand upon the available road space. Suppose a million or a million and a half new cars come on the market next sea- son. Many of these will be operated by inexperienced drivers, There will be many accidents, of course. One great trouble is that even an expcri- enced and careful driver is not safe, because an irresponsible person may at any moment run into him —LEdi- torial in Providence Journal.

But there is a silver lining to this cloud. There is the light of new hope and courage which comes with ‘the use of Dr, Chase’s Nerve Foods
This letter is so representative of the kind we are daily receiving that you can judge from it what you might expect from this treatment under similar circumstances,

“Tt was not long before I began to improve under this treatment, and I can truthfully say it has done.me a world of good. It took some time to get the nervous system restored, but I kept right on using the Nerve Food regularly, and gradually gained in health and strength, I have a fine baby boy now. at birth, and though my friends were anxious after the condition I was in, I got over that fine, and now weigh 120 tbs.

has been since that eventful August of 1914. In two out of threc seasons of the war the harvests have been disappointing. In 1914 it might well be said that the breadstuffs needs’ of the world were almost wholly depen- dent on this continent, and while 1915 was a most favorable year in the surplus producing countries, the pre- sent season is one of disappointment.
The wheat market since the first of last July has been a most remarkable one, There have been great bufll pe- riods before, but it is very doubtful if these great price movements have | heen based on such — substantial grounds. The trade has never seen heretofore a market which recorded so great an advance ostensibly on sheer speculation, and when — that speculation went “stale” failed to turn sharply in the other direction and record a decline almost equal to the advance, if indeed it did not show

New Method of Preserving Eggs
Commercial possibilities are, says The American Agricullurist, claimed for a new process of sterilizing eggs, whereby. the egg is preserved for a reasonable time without chance for detorioration. The treatment con- sists in subjecting the egg for an ex- ceedingly brief time in odorless, tasteless, transparent oil, at a tem- perature considerably above thar of boiling water. By this means promo- ters of the Incthod claim the egz is hermetically sealed through the sol- idifying of the egg membrane and absorption of oil by the shell. At the same time the high temperature déstroys the decomposing bacteria in the egg, preventing growth of any kind. The hardening of the mem- brane prevents evaporation of mois- ture fron: .the egg and entrance of odors and germ life from the out- side, Condition of the egg and ex- ternal factors regulate the length of time for submersion in the hot oil.
It is claimed the process has been used experimentally for ten years,

PLANS FOR PLACING IMMIGRANTS ON THE LAND AFTER THE WAR
BETTER MANAGEMENT OF IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
Lord Shaughnessy Says That There Must Be a Selection of the Desired Classes and a Refusal to Accept Any and Every Settler Who Might Offer to Come to Canada
Lord Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, after re- turning from a prolonged tour of in- epection of the company’s system in
ce West, gave a most cheering re-
ort on conditions in the four Wes- ern Provinces,
Being asked about immigration af- ter the war, His Lordship made sev- eral important statements. In the first place, he said that even if there was a movement toward Canada im- mediately after the war, it could not be handfed, since it would take con- siderable time to get the troops back, and there would be a great deal of preliminary adjustment in Europe: In the second place, he said that after the war there ought to be a much more thorough administration of the immigration problem.
He said that in addition to dealing m a better way with the immigrant after he reached Canada, there should be perfect supervision at the point of origin. There must be a selection of the desired classes, and refusal to ac- iept any-and every settler who inight offer to come to Canada.
In the third place, His Lordship said that after the war cvery ineans would be used to present the advin- tages of Canada to the intending sct- tlers and to all desirable colonists who might wish to make new homes (n new countries.
The Canadian Pacific would con- tinue to make every effort to aid these settlers after they reached the Dominion. He expected that the pol- {cy of the ready-made farm would he continued, but he thought that in- stead of building houses, immigrants
might be furnished with materials for buildings at the lowest possible prices and be allowed to construct
their own buildings, thus reducing the cost and affording the newcomers employment for the first months of their r&sidence in the Dominion, “We have no manner of doubt with ceference to the future of Canada af- ter the war,” said His-Lordship, “In the course of a few years there will be a_ satisfactory immigration from Europe, and the development of the country will continue and go forward as rapidly-as is desirable. Canada has fully demonstrated its productive ca- pacity, and in the course of a few years, if we do our duty, it will be the equal of any country in the world, With reference to the Western Pro- vinces, I would say that I have never wavered in .my faith in them.”
City of Kieff is a Russian Gem
Considered the Most Desirable of All Russian Cities in Which to Reside
When first I travelled, years ago, through Russia, I thought Kieff the best city in the empire. I am here for the third time during the war, and my earlier impression remains; has, indeed, becn strengthened. If I were obliged to live anywhere in
Russia I would live in Kieff. Its,
attractions are vouched for by the large number of “retired” people, soldiers and officials mostly, who go thither to end their days,
Although it is in the south of Rus- gia, its climate is severe, It endures a long and hard winter. Yet it has most of the features which we asso-
ciate with southern cities. It is, to be-'
in with, a city of flowers, From Nay to September it grows for itself the lilies and violets, the roses and carnations which are sold at every street corner, During the months of snow and ice the flowers are in the shop windows — exquisite displays from Polish gardeners’ hot-houses and from Nice.
Next, Kicff is a city of spacious airy green. The streets are broad. The shops are handsome and display their wares far more attractively than those of Petrograd or Moscow. There are wide, shady boulevards where the sunshine filters through
the leafage of slim poplar and spread-:
ing chestnut. Life in the cafes is genial, brisk, The women are pretty. The men’s faces suggest intelligence. One notices immediately that Kicff is a “dressy” place. but with a suggestion of Parisian style, Parisian sureness of charm,
In Petrograd one feels that the inhabitants do not, enjoy life. In Moscow they enjoy cating and drinking. In Kicff they enjoy every- thing—or, at any rate, they look as if they did. A Belgian: officer with whom I fell into talk at a restaurant praised the trimness and gaicty of the place. “Ca commence un peu se re- sembler a Bruxelles.” (“It is a little like Brussels”), he said, with a home- sick sigh—London Daily Mail.

| War and Women’s Work
New Place of Women Brought About by War Conditions
The new place of women in_ the world is considered in an interesting article in the London Times, The dominant idea is that women have be- come the comrades of men, That im- plies equality—not uniformity. There is danger of the loss of certain little graceful courtesies—such as the rais- ing of the hat or the man opening the door for the woman. If we keep steadily in view the idea of equality and justice we may be confident that what is good will survive, and what is superfluous will disappear.
After all, there was a good. deal of humbug and hypocrisy in the old sys- tem, The man’s hat was raised punc- tiliously, but somewhere some drun- ken husband was beating his wife, |some loafer was living on his wife’s thard work and savings, The woman was so sanctified that she must be protected from the arduous and dan- gerous labor of making a cross on a ballot; but she could scrub a floor, In this delicate feminine task of floor- washing she went down on her knees, thercby offering a curious resem- blance to the old-fashioned gallant lover proposing marriage. It may have -happened that the lover went down on his knees before inarriage and the wife afterwards.
The occasion of the Times’ articles, of course, is the part taken by women in the present war. Women have been seen running omnibuses, and working in munition factories. Truly fan amazing. spectacle, calculated to win men over to woman’s suffrage! !'The danger, and the toil, and the drudgery and the anxiety connected twith bringing up a family cotnted lfor nothing. But during the war it has been discovered that women are jcapable of doing hard work. -So pos- isibly they sai wit the suffrage, The jwoman omnibus conductor has done lin a few months what the poor toiler rat the needle and the washtub could not do in centuries. -Toronto Star. ,

Taking “Care of Employees
C.P.R. Provides Satisfying Luncheon at Nominanl Charge for Wind- sor Station Workers
For the convenience of the en- ployees, of whom there are nearly 12,000 ‘in the Windsor Station build- ings, the Canadian Pacific Railway has recently set up a cafeteria lun- cheon at 15 cents in a large apart- ment which will accommodate 25 persons at a sitting. Judging by the attendances, it is bound to be one of ithe most popular features the com- pany has put its hand to, There are hundreds of girls, especially, who have not time to go home, or who, if they do go home, are greatly pressed for time. Wath this service at their disposal they will save car fare; they will get a thoroughly sat- isfying luncheon; and they can have ‘the comfort of the lounge room in lconnection on wet of cold days —a
jlounge room which contains a piano, :
‘magazines and papers and in which ‘the employees can rest for the bal- ance of their lunch hour, The ar- rangement is four to a table; all the appointments are harmonious; there is an air of quiet dignity about the place, Mr. W. A. Cooper, manager of the sleeping and dining car depart- ment, said that this was in accord- ance with the well-known policy of the C, P. R. of taking care of its employees. The people in the offices constituted quite a little city in them- ‘selves. Many could not go home ‘with convenience, This-lunch room ‘would meet the wants of many. Of ‘course, there would still be. the 30- ‘cent luncheon upstairs, and the regu- lar dining-room in which you could have what you wanted and pay for the same as much as you liked; but this was strictly for the employees, ‘male and female, who would prefer to have their luncheon inside the building to going to restaurants — those of tem who were in the habit of going to restaurants,

Some Facts About the Province of Saskatchewan
.
In Area Is as Large as France and Twice the Size. of the British Isles
Saskatchewan, one of the three prairie provinces of Western Canada, lies between Manitoba and Alberta. It was incorporated as a province in 1905—before that, was a part of the Northwest Territories.
It has an area of over 250,000 square miles—is as large as Trance, and twice the size of the British Isles, 3
There are about 100,000,000 acres of arable land, of which less than 15
per cent. is actually under cultivation. |
The total area under crop is little more than the amount of land includ- ed in road allowances.
_ The elevation above sca level vagy ies from 1,500 to 3,000 fect. Cattle winter in the open in the ‘ranching districts.,
The mighty rivers of Saskatchewan are capable of developing 1,000,000 horse power.
Saskatchewan’s coal area covers about 7,500 square miles, and is esti- mated to contain 20,000,000,000 tons of lignite.
The estimated population is 750,- 000; the principal industry is agricul- ture, :
Saskatchewan is the largest wheat- producing province in the world. It has produced nearly 700,000,000 bush- els of wheat in the past six years.
The average wheat yield for the ;Past six years (18 bushels) excceds that of the United States for the sane period by a clear two bushels per acre,
Saskatchewan farmers have won some of the biggest prizes in America for wheat: growing. They include 'grand sweepstakes prizes at the Land Show, New York, 1911, for the best wheat grown on the American contin- jent, and sweepstakes prizes at the In- ternational Dry Farming Congress for the last three years.
The production of 1901 was 18,000,- ‘000 bushels of grain. The production of 1911 was 330,000,000 bushels of ‘grain,
The average mean temperature of Saskatchewan during the past ten
years was 33.8 degrees. April-Sep- ‘tember, 53,1 deg.; October-March, ‘16.2 deg. :
i] . . Saskatchewan railway construction
has increased 3,000 miles since 1906. !'Yotal mileage at present, over 5,000 | miles. | The elevator capacity is now 60,- 000,000 bushels. Saskatchewan has now 646,000 horses, 775,000 cattle, 138,000 sheep and 334,000 swine. :
Zeppelins Lose Immunity
British Now Know How to Deal with the Night Raider
The German dirigibles no longer can sail with -impunity over any part
‘of the British Isles they may wish to-
| visit,
This situation carries an implica- jtion of importance; it is that the anti- ‘aircraft guns of the lastest type pos-
%4 sess a range approximating the limit
‘of a Zeppelin’s power of ascension, or iat least the limit of a Zeppelin’s 'sphere of effective operation as a war engine. If such is the case, the lighter-than-air machine as at pre- sent constructed, has .reached an epoch in its history where it no lon- ger gives its possessors an cxclusive ‘advantage,
| This situation has been slow in its 'development; the Zeppelin has been ;a hard nut for the British to crack and it has enjoyed its immunities for a long time as periods of duration go ‘in modern warfare and modern in- vention,
The passing of the unquestioned lsovereignty of the Zeppelin as a night raider is one phase of a general trend ‘of the struggle in the air which has been noticeable for some time, Dur- ing the carly days of the war a good i:many people were astonished that the ‘much heralded French fleet of acro- planes seemed to accomplish little, ‘when their achievements were put ‘over against the doings of the Ger- ‘man fliers. The Allics as a whole seemed to be on the defensive in the sky. Gradually this situation chang- led and in the course of the summer just gone, the whole face of things have, altered, so that today the mys- ‘tery of the air, as the phase gocs, ;seems to be with the Allies, and the ‘announcement of a French aeroplane ‘raid as far as Essen causes no ripple of surprise. This change, like the changes in the general military situa- tion, is probably due to the better co- ordination and ,increased. efficiency which the Allics have been oblige to effect in all branches of their ser- vice, and which are now giving the Entente powers the natural advantage their superior numbers and larger re- lsoureis ought to enable them to ac- jquire.—Detroit Tree Press.

The Life of Modern Artillery Pieces Is Comparatively Short .
The life of a gun depends upon the progress of erosion, which sooner or later is certain to impair the accur- acy of fire, according to Iron Age. Erosion is caused by the action of the explosive gases at high temperature and pressure, The hot. gases cause a thin film of steel to absorb heat. The film expands and becomes set. Upon the release ofthe pressure it con- tracts, which causcs minute cracks Ea grow larger with every dis-
charge, As they increase in size they form passageways for more hot gas, and that tends to enlarge them still further. ‘The inner surface. thus be- comes roughened and the bore begins to corrode, Finally, the bore becomes so enlarged that it allows the gases to escape. The shell does not then acquire its proper rotation, and its flight becomes erratic.
All guns except small ones are now constructed with linings in the tube, which, when the bore is worn out, are removed and replaced by new ones. The cost of relining a gun is approx- imately thirty per cent. of the cost of the gun. There appears to be no| liinit to-the number of times that a gun can be relined. The small arms used in the United States are con- sidered to be worn out after 5,000 to 7,500 rounds have been fired. Small naval guns can be fired about 1,000 times before they are regarded as worn out. Large twelve-inch and fourteen-inch naval guns, are consid- ered to have a life, on one lining, :
from 150 to 200-rounds. Low velocity guns, such as howitzers and mortars, have correspondingly longer lives than high velocity guns of the same calibre, because the pressure they develop, and hence the temperatures, are lower.

Development ‘of North African Em- pire Expected. After the War
When the war in Europe shall have ended, the first great question which peace will bring is that of a food supply for the nations pauperized by battles. There will be an immediate necessity for virgin lands from which huge crops may be taken at small cost, and with it will come the need for new sources of wealth of every sort, says the ‘World Outlook.”

UR OBLIGATION TO OUR ALLIES AND THE SACRIFICES OF WAR
VIEW OF WHAT THE ALLIES HAVE GIVEN AND DONE
No Chapter in the History of National Friendships Has Feld Greater Stories Than That Which Records the Reckless Sacrifices of Our Allies During the Early Period of the War
“I think that we shall never be the same people again,” said Mr. Hughes, answering the first note of his wel-
come home. Australians may think with him, and hope with him, that we shall not. We laughed in the sun and followed our prosperous paths with cheerful and childlike arrogance, The first of our men ran bravely, even gayly, to the great game of war, hearing the trumpets and not the groans, secing the waving banners and not the stricken fields, The knowledge and the pain of long en- durance, sorrow and suffering have come to us since then. Surely no man in this country, aloof from war yet redly streaked by war's long fin- gers, can look back over two years without a sudden flood of almost ashamed gratitude for what other countries have done for it. When the news of war broke upon us two years ago, there were few indeed who looked forward to this time as only the glimmering dawn of — the day of release. Britain was to be the avenger, Her might, though long unused, would spring at once to full- est life and crush the despoilers of Belgium and the ravishers of France.
‘| Those first black weeks left us gasp-
ing and sweating as from a_ night- mare. Confidence scemed on point of giving way to terrible foreboding. Then the fulfilment of Joffre’s brave- ly patient plans brought a flush of hope, and after that we settled down to his grim nibblings,
In the long and undeciding months which followed we comprehended more and more distinctly how we were dependent upon strength out- side our own, No chapter in the his- tory of national friendships has held greater storics than that which re- cords the reckless sacrifices of Russia for her allies’ sake. She thrust an army lancelike into Prussia—it® was too slenderly supported to be called a wedge—with the one purpose of Iessening the terrible hammering on

Value of Saving
Every Man Should Start a Savings Account Early in Life
The opinions of William H. Os- borne, United States Commissioner of International Révenuc, on saving are quoted in the August American Magazine, | “*People get rich in two ways,’ he
says, “The minority through — skill and success in investments and trading; the majority through sys-
tematic saving of small sums, ‘know a man who just before he was {to be married, twenty years ago, lost all he had, and went $11,000 in debt Jon a business deal. He gave his fintended bride a chance to release herself,
“7 think you can get on your feet again,’ she told him, ‘I’m willing,’
“‘All right,’ he said, ‘get into the boat with me,’
“And they were married.
“The bride got a cigar box and cut a hole in. the top of the lid. She called it her ‘furniture box,’ and into it went all the dimes and quarters she didn’t really need. Soon she had enough to furnish a home.
“But she didn’t quit saving, She ‘kept right on until she had $2,000, With this she bought a piece of iJand, which she later sold for $3,000. ;The fund kept growing, and she kept making more invesiments. To- day she has money and property in her own name valued ct upwards of i $40,000:
i “I know of many more cases just ‘like that. It’s a law of business that ‘invariably succeeds.
| “My advice to every young man lis fo start a savings fund and put into iit a definite part of what he makes, When the total runs to $500 or more he should invest it in something which brings more interest than he can get from a savings bank, yet is safe. lf he keeps on in this way, he will be independent when he gets old lenough to quit work.”
Aged by the War —
| A dispatch from “London says that the effect ofthe war in prematurely ageing the fighting men in all the armies has Iced to serious scientific discussion, In some instances, it is stated, men’s hair turns grey after a few months in the trenches, This ‘is the case among both British and French soldiers, and it has been no- ticed that German prisoners who give their ages as between 21 and 27 pre- sent the appearance of men over 40, The fact is both curious and interest- ing, but it is altogether likely that the majority of these men will quick- ly “recover and present an appearance more in keeping with their years, once they are relicyed of *he strain at the front Veterans of past wars, at any fate, have been noted for their longevity. Witness the pensioners, notably those of the American Civil {War.—Montreal Gazen>
and south half across Europe never shook for a moment Russia’s sacri- fical loyalty. . Belgium and Serbia have been destroyed, France has been bled fearfully, great wounds have been torn in the vast territory of Russia and Italy has flung millions in men and money into the whirlpool of war. -Each of these nations has been frawn by necessity or policy into the struggle. While that fact’is plain enough, we will not attempt meanly to disguise from ourselves the circumstance that their warring has achieved ‘our preservation. Not Brit- ain, nor any of the great nations now
linked with her, could have withstvod singly the fell preparations of the Germans, °*
Now, in our own countries, a greit. measure of strength and order hae been wrotight out of military nothing- ness, Though Kitchener has gone,. his work remains, We believe — that we sce victory ahead of us, but we see, too, the pitiful price that has yet to be paid. Slowly we have dragged ourselves, through many little dis- cords, to unity. It is our turn and. our chance to repay our great and gallant friends. To this end Britain herself has given all. Her dominions have given much. To say that Aus- tlaia could yet give more is not to. decry the nobleness and unselfishness. of hundreds of thousands of brave men, Individual sacrifices have been innumerable and wonderful. Britain,. in calling upon every fit man to serve his turn, has made, as a nation, the supreme sacrifice, and paid her hon- est debt to the men who first stood to arms. And we—alas, we arc lag~ gards!—Sydney Sun.

Simple Method of Purifying Water During autumn months when wells and springs become somewhat low,
and the water may have a chance to
become more or less impure, the wa- ter can easily be purified by placing
la lump of unslacked lime in the wi:.-
ter, or placing a handful of common salt in the spring or well. If both salt and lime are used, it may be all the better. A lump of clean rock salt
| would be even better than the pulver-
ized salt, as it will not dissolve as rapidly.
If this is done once a month there will be much less danger of fever or other sickness resulting from impure
drinking water.
If preferred, the lime or salt can be placed in a cloth sack attached to a string so it can be removed after it has been in the water for a short time, and the treatment can be repeat- ed once a week, especially if there is thought to be any danger.
When water becomes very low it is best to boil and cool before drinking.

The “F,O.0." conceals himself ~in the front trenches with a telephone, and from this close proximity to the German line keeps the guns informed as to the result of their firing, When the powers of Germany and Britain are united in one stupendous effort to hammer the hostile trenches out of all recognition his place is no sine- cure, as can readily be understood. But he sticks there and gives his orders in spite of everything. Gas may sometimes shift him, as one can- not telephone through a respirator. But the bayonets of enemy infantry have often found him, the last man alive among a.shambles of dead, coolly directing his battery to wipe those bayonets out of existence.

Retreat. His last words were: “Do' not obey any further orders from here, The Germans are here.”
From those days to these is a far cry, but they are still doing: these things. Less than a month ago, when the Huns at one point drove into our front line and our men were forced to withdraw for the time, a “F.O.0.” was left behind in our trenches. He stayed there undis- covered, serving his battery, directing it on to good targets, and giving it little items of information as to the enemy’s actions, for nearly two hours, After that shrapnel cut his wire. As he saw that he could do no more good by remaining, he calmly took the telephone in his arms, scrambled out of the dugout, and he escaped and won through to his guns, as he de- served,

standpoint ranked with the criminal and:lunatic?. | -
Manitoba has within recent date severed the shackles of such dark ages. Her womanhood are now con- sidered eligible to ‘march to the polls.
Surely woman in her demand for the franchise was simply a claimant for equitable right. It is but logical she should possess authority in the settlement of questions which are of vital concern to her sex. Yet for de- cades men adhered to the absurd view that it was not feasible that she make known an opinion by means of The opening years of the twentieth century have wit- nessed the outcome of advanced thought, and as a result womankind within certain territory of this Do- minion possess equality of govern- ance with that of the sterner sex. Let the political arenas of Canada recognize that the day is not distant when from the Atlantic to the Paci- fic coasts mothers, wives and daugh- ters will not alone participate in elec-
toral contests, but rather will their voices resound within legislative halls.
The results wnich will accrue from womanhood accorded the franchise in Manitoba will be indelibly stamp- ed upon the city of Winnipeg. The tencts of common sense display the fact that there are existent in ‘hat city perplexing features which it is safe to assume will find more ade- quate solution by woman’s vote than legislation has hitherto been able to furnish. A few of the important roles in which female suffrage will be of material benefit are: Public health, living conditions, wholesome amuse- ments, education, The handwriting on the wall has already appeared from woman's attitude to the liquor trafic. As a guide post to woman's sphere in life, testimony can be ad- duced from the Bible, In Old Testa- ment history is Samuel, whose mo- ther prepared him for the call of om- nipotence; the pages of the New Testament speak of Eunice, she who imparted to her son, Timothy, the precepts of righteousness. Glancing along the stream of modern years, has not the world experienced the great power Catherine Booth wielded through the work of the Salvation Army? It is true, numerous, in fact many, professing Christians are strongly adverse to female suffrage. Age their views correct? That St.
Paul in his writings to the Galatians
was presumably opposed to a dis- crimination between sexual rights may be inferrea from the following:
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, bond or free, male or female.”
In these words of the Apostle a true spirit of equality is perceptible.

for Saloniki; and. the whole of their
embarkation was completed by May 27, During these five months the French army and -navy spared no pains to give fresh life to the gallant troops, which when they reached the Albanian coast had been utterly ex- hausted after four years’ warfare, aggravated by starvation and terrible epidemics.
Despite enemy mines and submar- ines, the Serbian soldiers and re- fugees were conveyed over to Corfu with the greatest dispatch. An of- ficial letter addressed on April 11 to General de Mondesir by the Serbian Minister of War pays the following

Bulletin on Farm Accounts
Valuable Information Contained in a “New Bulletin by Prof. G. G. White
“Farm Cost Accounting,” is the White, of Manitoba Agricultural College. In writing this bulletin, Prof. White treats the question of farm accounts from rather a new angle. He holds that the type of
‘bodkkeeping required on a farm dif-|lazy and a carcless farmer, but he’s
fers entirely from ordinary bookkeep- ing. “The primary object of farm cost accounting,” says Prof. White, “is to determine what the farm business as a whole is making or losing each year, what each department is mak- ing or losing, and to give such in- formation regarding each as will ‘en- able. the ‘owner to manage his farin more .intelligeatly by knowing what
it is costing him to produce,”
After dealing in detail with the whole problem. of farm cost accounts, Prof. White includes a . numbér_of tablés'-and instructions, such as how

I always read more or less about hired men in farm papers, and there is a wide area for discussing farm help and hired. men, One can always hear some farmers complaining about not being able to keep good hired help. . Now, right here I want to say that nine times out of ten it’s the farmer’s own fault, as there are lots of good men forced to. work out so as-to get a start in life, and for proof that they are good ones we need only look back at some of our most prosperous farmers who own large farms now. We will find they got their start working by the month for the other fellow.

There are a few employers who are too easy with their help and will spoil a good man as cone party did wita me, and after I left there 1 had a hard time getting along with the boss as I had been my own boss for cwo years. But such places are few and tar between.
Here is a way I would suggest for farmers to kecp good help, Hire a good man with a good reputation, pay him a couple of dollars more than. the average man gets, treat him kindly, do his washing and mending, give him a half day off once ‘in a while, I'll assure you that you will not lose out in the Jong run, as a man feels a lot more like working for a

What the Farmer Did
A city man recently visited with his country cousin. The man from the city, wishing to explain the joys of metropolitan life, said, “We nave certainly been having fun for the tast few days. Thursday we autoed ‘o the country club and golfed until dark, then trollied back to town and danced until morning.”
The country cousin, not to be wut- done in the least, began telling some of the pleasures of the “simple life.” “We have had pretty good times nere too. One day we buggicd out to Uncle Ned’s and went out to the back lot, where we baseballed all that af-‘ ternoon. And in the evening we sneaked up to the attic and pokertd until morning.”
A sturdy old farmer, who was lis- tening and was not to be stumped in the least, took up the conversation at this point and said, “I was having some fun about this time myself, I muled to the cornfield and gee-hawed until sundown, Then I suppered un- til dark, and farm papered until 8 o'clock, after which I bedsteaded un- til the clock fived, after which I breakfasted until it was time to go muling again.—Judge.

(Continued.) CHAPTER XIX, <
The manner in which Paul Payne received this announcement concern- ing the detective about the grounds of Oare Court struck a blow to Lord Eastling,.
Although he knew a good deal, and suspected much more, about the law- less doings of his brother-in-law in the past, the young man had hoped against hope that Paul was now, as he would have put it, “running straight,” and that he was showing at least so much respect to the noble woman he had married as to keep away from questionable dealings now that he was connected by mar- tiage with an honorable family.
Lord Eastling, favorably impress- ed from the outset by the manners and good temper of Paul Payne, had always been generous in his views of him, and had wished, as much for the man's sake as for Lady Ursula’s, that he would live down his past bad record and prove himself at least ap- parently worthy of the family into which he had married, as an offset against his repudiation by the family into which he was born.
But the cyents of the past few days had shattered that hope, and Paul’s sudden change of color on hearing about the detective in the grounds had made it impossible to doubt that he was still acting in concert with thieves.
Of course, Paul recovered his self- possession immediately, and affected to be much amused by the solemn warning thus given.
“That's awfully interesting by Jove!” said he as he opened the door, “Pasts always are exciting to hear about, aren’t they, when they belong to other people?”
With these words he left his bro- ther-in-law, and let himself into the room where Brady Gane was waiting.
Brady, who was fidgeting about impatiently, fingering everything in the room, apparently with the ébject of discovering something which it would be worth while to carry off, dropped the volume bound in red morocco, which he had been turning over, and drew himself up. “Well, where's the stuff?” asked he quickly.
Paul shook his head. It was plain from his looks that he had received a shock, and the other stared at him appreh ensively.
“Nothing gone wrong, eh?” said he in a hoarse whisper, “If it has, Syd, it begins to look as if you’d lost vour nerve, or soinething. I’m sick and tired of the way you've kept us hang- ing round, Come, out with it, What’s amiss?”
Paul madgan effort to recover his usual calm manner, which impressed his nervous and fidgety confcderates so much. But the knowledge that danger had come so very close un- nerved him, and his eyes wandered uneasily towards the window as he
spoke. ; “There’s a Yard man in the grounds, on the lookout,” said he.
“You've been followed, Gane. You must get away as fast as you can, and be sure you don’t go straight back to Evans. When you do see him, warn him to be careful.”
But before he had come to the end of this speech the expression of the other man had altered somewhat. From interested he had become in- credulous and impatient.

“Oh, yes, I dare say!” said he in a mocking tone. “We've had_ that game played on us already. Won't work the second tine, my lord. Not ralfl”
“What do you mean?” asked Paul, who, however, knew very well. :
“Oh, what I mean, your lordship, is as you told me that when I come to sce you at the hotel. You said as how there was a fellow on the look- out, and as you couldn’t give me the stuff because he was ready for to pounce out on me. You said as I should find his hand on my shoulder before I'd got out of the house, and as he'd call a copper, and give me in charge. ‘You mustn’t be found with the stuff on you,’ says you. And J, like the silly kid I was, let myself be kidded, and went away without — the stuff, Lord, how you must have laughed.”
Paul, seeing that he had a hard task before him in persuading Gane to go away quietly without the stones, sat down in an armchair, crossed his legs and took out a cigar. ;
Brady’s eyes grew round with in- dignation.
“Look here,” said he, “I'll stand no nonsense. Go and fetch the stuff, and share out. No more larks!”
“lm not ‘in the humor for larks, I assure you. Neither am I in the humor to be arrested on a charge of being concerned in stealing valuable jewellery. And as that is what would inevitably happen if you were to go out of the house with ten thou- sand pounds’ worth of stones on you, I’m obliged to deny your request, unreasonable as it no doubt seems to you,” .
Gane moved impatiently.
“Stow that bunkum!” growled he. “T wasn’t arrested at the hotel when I was fool enough to listen to yon, and to let myself be gulled into going away without the pearls you promis-
ed us. Well, was had once, but I’m}
not having none this time.”
Paul shook his head,
“JT can't help that. 1 see the point of your remarks, but the fact that you escaped search once docs not in- duce me to think you would escape a second time, Anyhow, I can’t af- ford to run risks.”
“Why not? I can.” Paul laughed not in a conciliatory tone,
"It’s not quite the same thing. What are your risks compared to mine?”
“Oh, come now——
Paul drew himself up and spoke with more emphasis.
“I repeat: what are your risks? What is a term of imprisonment to you? You've done one or two al- ready, and you're as well off in gaol as you are out of it; better, With me it’s different. TIven you will ad- mit that, I suppose.” ;
“Even me! I like your check, Syd.”
“Of course you do. It’s my cheek, as you call it, that has enabled me to help you in ways that I’m sorry for and ashamed of.”
Gane stuck out his chin.
“Oh,,so that’s it, is it? You're com- ing the virtuous dodge over us, eh, to get out of giving back our share? eet are you going to do with them, eh? Like what they say you did with the pearls? Is that the new game? ‘Chuckle-headed sort of sport, I call it, and what’s more, I don’t believe as you mean to do it. So there now.”
Paul shook his head.
“If I were ever so virtuous I could-! through
n’t give back the things now, because they don’t exist any longer. I’ve ta- ken the stones out and thrown away the settings——”
“Yes! pretty well that, for a man as is turned so good!”
Paul nodded.
“As you say, it’s pretty well for a man turned good. Don't be afraid. ed nes
“Frightened!”

But Paul nodded again gravely and slowly.
Yes, it’s funk, pure funk, blue funk, that makes me anxious that neither you, nor J, nor Evans should be caught now. <A little while ago I think I could have carried it off with- out so much as minding the penalty. But I couldn’t now; I owm it.” His face grew very grave, and he looked out at the trees and the lawn and the misty landscape beyond, instead of at Gane, as he went on: “I want to turn over a new leaf.”
Gane laughed hoarsely, incredulous still.
“Well, turn away as fast as cver you like. We shan’t stop you,” he cried mockingly. “Only, before you turn, just you hand us over what belongs to us.”
“All right. But not now. — T.isten, Gane, I want to know whether you and Evans will consent to some sort of a new arrangement, You would- n’t get much on the stones, under the circumstances, would you?” .

THE ‘ADVANCE,
Permanent Militarism
The Hope That the Tyranny of Organized Militarism May End
In a recent report sent to his gov- ernment on the operations in France, Gen, Haig says: “To date, since July 1, the British forces alone on the Somme battle front have met and en- gaged 35 German divisions, of wich
an
of this laconic paragraph might easily be overlooked, It means that the im- provised citizen army of Britain, pit- ted against the dragooned products of the German system, has met and worsted them, The original profes- sional British army, flung into France at the outbreak of the war, has long since vanished, The army in France and Flanders today is an army called hurriedly from the haunts of industry and inspired, as probably no army has been inspired in the history of the world, by detestation for war. The wait has been long. The toll has been terrific. The convulsion in- volved in the assembling and cquip- ping of this army has strained severe- 1 the empire’s powers of adjustment. But the notable fact is that the strain has not broken our force, The acap- tation has been accomplished. Eng- land is today a hornet’s nest of mu- nition factories, which it is already fairly clearly seen can be transform- ed, after the war, to meet .the pur- poses of industrial productiveness, This means that we are in a position of clear advantage. While the whole body of German life was being cor- roded and brutalized by a sinister militarism, our energy was left rela- tively clear for the prosecution of other and more humane enterprises; and when . the challenge came, we rose, with the unimpeded force of a free people, and met it. ; Many of us may persist in the hope that this once well through with, may prove the end of the murderous busi- ness, That reason will at last make her sensible voice heard. That in- ternational relations will be humaniz- ed and Christianized. That this last stubborn stronghold of paganism and selfishness will yicld to the penctra- tion of an enlightened altruism. But even if this hope is illusory and the end is not yet, if further generations must be made food for cannon, if mankind must wade still closer to the chin in blood, still it is a question whether a few years’ violent disrup- tion is not better than a cynical sur- render to the reign of force, than the permanent subjection of peace to war, than the sybmission of society to the rigor, the brutality, the tyr- anny of a permanently organized militarism1.—Winnipeg Tree Press,
Compulsory Labor Now in Germany

Should such people, it
remarks, fail to assist with the har-|'
vest to the best of their ability, an inquiry will be held as to whether the further payment of the grant in question is really necessary in their case. The government of the Duchy of Altenburg also has published a similar decree,

Think Twice Before Selling
——
Fable of the Man Who Did Not Want to Sell His Farm
A farmer who had decided to sell! his property listed it with a real’ estate dealer who wrote a very good description of the place. When the agent read it over to the farmer for| his approval, the old man said, “Read | that again.” After the second read-. ing the farmer sat for several ino- | ments in a thoughtful mood, finally said, “I don’t believe I want to sell. I’ve been looking for just such a place all my life and it never occur- red to me that I had it until you de- scribed it to me, No, I don’t want to sell out.”
T'as story contains a lesson for farmers whether the story is only fiction or an actual occurrence. Many do not appreciate their own farms until somcore points out the desir- able features. Again, real estate men have a way of describing farm or other property, bringing out the merits and passing over the undesir- able features in a way to give Hig | reader a very exaggerated idea of the farm, while every statement about it may be strictly accurate.

Next Dominion Day in Canada will mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the nation. Its people are indulging in no flattering or false illusions at present; rather are they preparing to respond to further calls upon their loyalty, no matter what sacrifices may be involved; but they would be more or less than human if they did not cherish the hope that next Dominion Day may be observed in the assurance of an established and enduring peace throughout — the Empire, and throughout the world— Christian Science Monitor.

| Curbing the Submarine
( When the history of this war is written there will be no more start- ling revelations than those of the achievements of the British navy in dealing with the submarine, It was jnevitable that at the beginning the submarine should have had the whip hand. The bane comes before the antidote. The attack must disclose itself before the means of defence joan be organized. But the reply to the’submarine was found with re- markable rapidity and astonishing sureness. And with its disappearance as a capital factor in the war the British navy adds one more to the many obligations under which it has placed the people of these islands, and has driven another nail into the coffin of Prussian militarism, — Edi- torial in London Daily Newa.

" Cannon and the Clouds
Improbable That Cannonading Has an Appreciable Effect on Rainfall
By a remarkable coincidence the latter half of the year of 1914, and the whole of 1915 and 1916, so far as it has gone, have shown an excessive rainfall in many parts of America and Europe, a state of affairs that has given rise to many surmises con- cerning the relations between thc discharge of great quantities of am- munition at the front in Europe and the heavy fall of moisture. In an ad- dress delivered recently before the British Rainfall Association a mem- ber of that body pointed out. that the processes of nature are so vast that it is highly improbable that even the great gunfire of recent months has had any effect on precipitation. To il- lustrate this statement it was shown that in one month the excess of rain- fall over an area of 58,000 square miles, which includes England and Wales, was 3 1-2 inches, The speaker showed that this large exoess repre- sents over thirty billion tons of water and that the minimum quantity of air which must have been carried over England and Wales to transport that water in the form of vapor must have been at least 100 times that amount in weight. Such staggering figures are regarded as evidence that the amount of force required to move masses of this magnitude is far be- yond that which can be exerted even by modern nations at war,

V. C. Heroes Who Belong to the Order of the Noble Living and the Noble Dead ~
It is a pathetic circumstance that two of the three Victoria Crosses be- stowed in the award to men of the fleet, as an outcome of the Jutland battle, pass to the families of men who did not live to receive the decor- ation in person. What gives the Vic- toria Cross its peculiar distinction among military honors is that noth- ing short of an absolute disregard of the risk of life establishes a title to it. It is never conferred promiscu- ously, and it runs no risk of being exhibited for sale with cheap jewelry in a shop window. The only price is sacrifice, and with most of the men who have won the coveted dis- tinction it is scarcely possible that in the hour of glorious performance they gave a single thought to the
reward. Nelson’s heroism is hardly the Iess sublime if he exclaimed

Turkey must be held to a strict accountability for the monstrous atrocities which she perpetrated upon her Christian subjects. Nothing iess than a total dismemberment of Tur-
key will appease the conscience of,
mankind. The world applauded Vis- count Bryce when he said, “lf Eng- land should deviate from her prime duty of meting out just punishment to the Turkish Government who have murdered nearly 800,000 innocent Ar- menian men, women and children, [ shall declare war against England niyself!”
The New York Evening Sun, coms menting recently on Turkey's outra- geous treatment of the Armenians and Syrians, stated editorially:
“Whatever any other power may win in the present conflict, there can be no two minds as to Turkey’s right. By her brutality to her Christian sub- jects Turkey has already won the right to extinction.”
