CARDINAL MERCIER ANSWERS LETTER OF VON BISSING
AMSTERDAM, via London, 21.—According to the Tijd’s Belgium correspondent, Cardinal Meroler, pri- mate of Belgium, has sent a dignified answer to the German governor gen- eral, Von Bissing's letter, The letter of the cardinal contends that his Len- ten pastoral communication contained nothing the cardinal had not a right to say. It reiterates that the German oc- cupation of Belgium is illegal and pro- tests against interference with his rights, both as u prelate and a citizen. The cardinal denies General von Bis- sing’s charge thit he is seeking ta produce “noxious excitement” among the populace, which, he says, continues to display u calm and noble attitude,
The correspondent hints at punitive measures against Cardinal Meroler and in this respect refers to the imprison- ment of bishops by Germany forty-five years ago during the Franco-Prussian

- Some Canadian Contributions Have Gone to Cheer the French
Soldiers
Thé French soldier hast’t) behind hima countryfil .of ‘women with money to buy wool and feisure to knit as has the Canadian soldier, nor has he thé wherew‘thal to buy warm socks, his pay having only ‘recently ~ péén raised from 1 cent to 6 cents a day. In many cases his family lives in the invaded distric:s of the north, from which they can get hothing through to their menfolk; in. others they have been driven cut of these regions and have ai. they can do to ‘make money for their own needs. while in other parts of France there is lack of money and lack of time, so very many ‘women having to .do the work of the men who have gone. One woman teacher in a residential school writes that ‘slie is taking the place of three masters. Scant time here for kitting socks.
Through friends in France, whio tell her of these conditions, Miss Cayley of 36 Elgin ayenue, has been sending every few weeks socks and other * woollen comforts, handkerchiefs, cigarettes, etc., to French soldiers tn the trenches. Man, of the men from Alsace-Loraine are very badly. off, she hears, the Germans having im- prisoned their . families as a punish- ment for their sons having got through the ‘ines to fight for France. A Canadian soldier writes of his joy in receiving an extra large . consign- ment of socks from home, for he was able to share them. with the French soldiers, who ofter had nothing but theiy boots. Some even served four- teen days in the trenches with no socks whatever to protect their feet. Toronto Globe.
: War of Copper and Nitrogen. Albert Thomas, the French under- secretary of war and munitions, speak- ing to the -members of the Italian. press, said: P “This is a war of copper and nitro- gen.. Our struggle with the enemy is, above all, a competition in arms, munitions and chemistry, France has 750,000 workers, including 120,000 women, employed in: these depart- ments, and on the French front the British and French supplies now sur- pass those of Germany, aa “Our superiority will be overwhelm- ing as soon as Great Britain is able to produce twice the quantity of muni- tions produced by us. We now domi . nate the enemy, and we shall continue to dominate. him when peace comes, because at the end of this war there will be deyeloped in France extensive . Metallurgical and chemical industries which will free us from Germany. We will continue our war productions at the top speed as Jong as the struggle lasts, and will exchange with our allies arms and.raw material,” Nothing slow about the Japanese. A Tokio merchant advertises that “Goods are despatched to customers’ houses’ with the rapidity of a shot from a cannon’s mouth.”
While the total value of farm pro- ducts of British Columbia in 1914 was over $30,000,000 the Province bought from the rest of Canada $20,000,000 worth including $2,400,000 worth of flour, and from other countries similar goods to the value of $5,000,000. These purchases from . outside included $5,500,000 worth of iive stock, $4,500,- 000 of dairy products, $3,600,000 of meat products, $800,000 of fruit and $1,400,000 of eggs.

Changes in Voters’ Lists
Two important changes in the | Voters’ lists of Saskatchewan were de- |cided on at a meeting of the select committee appointed by the Saskat- chewan legislature recently. This committee has been appointed to take into consideration the election act and the controverted election act, and to devise ways and means whereby these acts can be changed and improved to meet conditions.
It was decided that the voters’ lists for rural districts should be prepared under the enumeration plan on the principle of the Dominion system and that a system of closed voters’ lists l be adopted for all the cities of the
| province and all towns which appear, by the certificate of the seecretary-

Nearly Bagged the Kaiser
4 Ran Into.an Ambuscade and French
Soldiers Nearly Got Him.
It seems that for a long time the Kaiser had his headquarters in the capital of the Duchy, where, however, no citizen saluted him on the street nor any shopkeeper tried to grow rich by selling his portrait, according to. 1 writer in the “Edinburgh Review.
At last he. decided to remove to liimense, preparations were made for his departure, and he duly set out.»
, Luxemburg breathed freely, believ- ing it had seen the. last of ‘him; but when Luxemburg came down to breakfast the next morning it. dis- covered to its amazement, that he was still there—or, rather, that he had returned,in the smal) hours of the morning. But he had by no means returned in the condition in which he had set out. He had left a good many little things behind him—a good deal
of baggage, « good many cars, and a}
good many members. of his staff— and most of the cars which he had brought back bore the marks of bul- lets. Naturally Luxemburg was in- quisitive; and presently, through the post-prandial indiscretions of officers in the cafes, the truth came out. The franc-tireurs had known that’ the Kaiser wag coming, and -had prepared an ambuscade’ for him. He, had un- suspectingly run into it; he had been under fire. —killed, wounded, and missing—and it was by the merest accident that his 6wn name had failed to figure in the nst.”

THE ACUTE PAIN FROM NEURALGIA
|Permanently Cured Through
the Use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
A clever medical writer has said that “Neuralgia is a cry from the nerves for better blood.” In other words, neuralgia is not a disease—it is Only a symptom, but a very painful one. Neuralgia is the surest sign that your blood is weak, watery and impure, and that your nerves are lit- érally starving. Bad blood is the One cause—rich, red blood the only cure. son why Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills cure. neuralgia. They, ure the only medi cine that contains in correct propor- tions the elements needed to make rich, red blood. This new, rich blood reaches’ the root of the trouble, soothes the janglea nerves, ‘ drives away the nagging, starving pain; and braces up your health in other ways as well. -In proo’ of thess statements Mrs. A. T. Oulton, Little Shemogue, N.B.. says: “A few years ago “my mother was an intense sufferer from neuralgia, which was located in her |face, head and shoulders. The pain, especially in her Lead, was intense, She doctored for some time without | getting relief and there seemed ‘to be’ | no: ceasing of the pain whatever, In- pores it seemed -to be extending and her whole. nervous system became af- | fected. ~ Finally she decided to try / Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. After taking jthem for a while the pain in her head | became less severe, and Of-course this Was a great relief to her, Under the continued use of the Pills she felt her- self growing better and stronger each day until she was no longer a sufferer and was completely cured, and has felt no ‘syM@ptonm” of the trouble: since.” ‘

| Insect That Eats Lead |
| Strange Bectle That Can Bore | Through Lead as Easily as Bark: -
| The latest wonder of California— reported .too late to be featured at the -World’s Fair—is an insect that
eats its way through sheet lead. A press dispatch recently announced the discovery of this insect by Albert Schuler of Santa Barbara, Cal., and at a recent meeting.of telephone en- gineers of San Francisco, Mr. Schul- er, who is manager of the Home Telephone System of the former city, confirmed the discovery and gave an account of. the creature’s depreda- j tions.
“Probably most engineers who read the newspaper. story at once placed it in the same class with the | famous and ‘far-travelled hoax about ‘the worm that éats steel rails’ which was perpetrated a quarter of a cen- tury ago and still reappears at inter- vais,” writes an editorial correspon- dent of the New York Engineering News.
“One of the editors of Engineering News, however, has since’ visited Santa Barbara and has seen the bugs, a number of which are held in captivity in lead boxes with glass covers, to see how long it will take them to bore their way to freedom. The bug is a slender black beetle. with hard wing covers, about one- quarter inch long, and of innocent and placid demeanor. Perhaps the reported alias of, the marauder should | be placed on record to aid in the ce- tection of other members of the gild —Sinoxylon declive.
‘It is stated .that what the bug does is to. Hght on a lead covered telephone cable and _ bore a tiny round hole through the lead sheath and the paper insulation down to the copper. Possibly he (the bug) be- 'lieveg the cable to be part of a tree or vine into which he is accustomed | to bore holes, and so he proceeds to ‘bore through the lead as he would through the bark. One entemologist {gives concealment as the motive. Any engineer familiar with the rate ‘at which the eredo novails can |drive his boring apparatus. through |}hard wood will see nothing impos- sible in a beetle boring into a lead’ ‘cable covering. | “Why the bug should want to bore holes is as yet an unexplained mys- jtery, as it seems well nigh impos- sible that he could derive a high de- ;gree of nutrition from the lead, even | if it did not make him sick. It is | possible, however, that the boring ; process is- preliminary to egg-de- | positing, in which case the foregoing account is all wrong ag to the bug’s sex and apologies are due to her.
“The lead-borer has been heard of in South Bend., Ind.; Rockford, Il; in Omaha, Tacoma, Portland, San Diego, in Florida and far-away Aus- tralia. Numbers of them have been found in old lead-foil tea-packages, and it is suspected that the family is of oriental extraction. Quarantine is being considered to check the menace.” :

Many people seem to think
that if they have had an operation for appendicitis they are forever immune, and need have no further fear along tha* line, but I say emphatically, and I think you will agree I am right, that after an attack of appendicitis, even though you have been successfully operated upon and the appendix removed, your troubles have only just begun unless you remove the causé, What was the cause’ of the appendicitis ?

“Constipation, yes, that is the If you were never constipated you would
forever be safe. .Appendicitis is only one of tho results of the retention of fecal matter in the colon for too long a
period.”
There is-no longer any question that: the real cause of
appendicitis is constipation.
y keeping the bowels regular
you not only prevent appendicitis, but also a host of other ills, some of which are even more dangerous than appendicitis. Dr: Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills are recommended to you in this connection, not as a mere relief by effecting the movement of ° the bowels, but rather as a, positive cure for constipation. As ig well known, the bile secreted by the healthful action of the
liyer is Nature's cathartic.
So long as the bile flows freely
into the intestines there is no constipation of the bowels and
no clogging of the excretory organs.
Hence the wisdom of
using Dr, Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.to ensure regular working
of the liver, kidneys and bowels.
You thereby save yourself
much inconvenience from the minor: ills of life, and ensure
against such fatal diseases as appendicitis and peritonitis.

city, with suburbs, and . outlying houses extending to the White Sea, thé extension héing more than 30 Miles, The main street is more than six miles long. The shipping on the river down to the White Sea is con- siderable. The city has 365 large piers today, against three piers two years ago. Not less than 103 huge warehouses have sprung up in the last year, but yet there is a great insufficiency of piers and ware- houses, as a result of. which ships arriving have to lie in the stream for weeks and weeks before they can urload:” However, the. author- ities have done wonders and are pre- paring and planning to meet the enormous traffic. next spring. The chief drawback is, as is well known, thé question of ice in the winter, and. if it had. not been -for this obstacle Archangel would be the finest port in the world; as it has nearly 70 miles of riyér frontage -available. for ships drawing up to 23 feet.
Archangel’s magnificent system of injand» waterways, through the Dwina river, is a great feature, as it is possible to ship goods direct by water. to nearly ail the — principal towns in. Russia. Barges and river
‘ boats, carrying up to 2,000 tons of
freight and drawing about six feet of > water, can be gatistactorily used in carrying freight all over the country. The Dwina_ river begins freezing in October, This year it was hoped. to keep the river open from Archangel out to the . White. Sea till about December 15. Two of the larg- est ice-breakers in the world are now in Archangel, and ‘several more ice-breakers, are now being construct- ed in Bngland.
The work that was carried out last summer and autumn by the Russian authorities was most admirable, in spite of the great. accumulation of goods and steamers arriving day and night. .Goods for the Russian govern: ment have been moved by the narrow- gauge railway line and goods sent to
boats or barges unless packed for. par- cels: post, when they have been taken by the railway company. Besides Arch- angel, at Kola, in Lapland, across the Murman penisula, a railway is now be- {ng constructed, to be completed in this winter, connecting the Arctic ocean with the peninsula, so that Kola can be ‘used altetnrively a} Kola can be used alternately, espec- jally from January’ to May, when it is impossible to keep. Archangel open even with very powerful ice break: erg. Around this port of the Arctic ocean the Gulf Stream creates suf- ficient warmth to prevent ice. Many shipping agents at Archangel are arranging for offices and habitation it Kola from early January until May.. The use of the White Sea for transfer of*freight by boat between the two sections of railway under construction will require the services of many ice breakers, and these are being constructed also to serve as cargo carriers during the winter. It is thought that the railway connec- tion between Petrograd and Kola may commence early this spring. Thus Moscow, Petrograd, Kief and Siberia will be linked together with Archangel and Kola.
Archangel presents to the visitor today a peculiar aspect, reminding one of the “sudden” Canadian towns of the west that were created “over night.” A great number of houses, shops, ete., have ben put up to ac- commodate the overwhelming Rus- sian business, and to cater to the multitude of sailors, A tramway is being constructed along the main street of the town and a complete eectric Hght and power plant has been put up, furnishing power for
railway and lighting in the city. -
The city has a very bracing cli- mate all the year around; -the sum- mer is not very cold, whilst the winter, although cold, is not too ‘in- There are many shops, the most interesting of-which are the fur shops, selling furs of the .blue
fox, the popular bear, ete. from Novo Zembla. The population § of Archangel is now about 40,000;
good hotel accommodation is to be had, although the hotels are not what might be considered first class. The passenger service of the nar- TOW gauge line from Archangel to Vologda is very limited. Just out- side of Archangel a lafge fur farm for breeding blue, white and black foxes. is an interesting feature.
‘Today Archangel is one of the most important wheat exporting ports of the world, a fact to be kept jn mind in calculating the possibili- ties of Port Nelsor and the Hudson Bay route a3 an outlet for tho Western Canadian wheat crop. The United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, and France have their own consulates at Archangel, The United States has no consular representative.

a Non-Rust-Wheat
Experiments Being Made fo Develop a Species of Wheat That Will
Resist Rust
Experiments are\now under way
at the Minnesot, State Agricultural collége which are expected to have a marked effect on -the future produc tion of wheat in Minnesota -amd -the
Northwest. The object the experts have set for. themselves is the de- velopment of a species of wheat which shall resist rust. The ineffec- tiveness of the present to do this js an annual worry to American farm- ers and grain dealers, and a source
of loss amounting in the aggregate to many millidiig of dollars in unfav- orable years.
The authorities at the. Minnesota School of Agriculture are endeavor- ing to combine two important species of wheat, the blue stem, which is widely grown in the American north- west, and is famous for itg protifi- cacy, and the dirum, equally noted for its rust-resisting qualities. The United States government and the’ state of Minnesota have already ex- pended $30,000 in the work, with important results. The cross has been successful, after ten. years of experimentation, but the college is withholding the new seed from the farmers until certain difficulties have been overcome, Among these is the poor baking quality of the new species, , |
Until this defect is remedied the cross-strain, will not be given to the world. It is understood that the hy- brid plant hag retained perfectly the high productivity of the blue stem wheat and. the sound rust resistivity of the durum. But the authorities will not be satisfied until they can bring the new strain up to the pro per baking standard. a

Speaking at. a memorial mass for the Canadians at Westminster Cathed- ral, London, Cardinal Bourne said the Canadian soldiers Were giving up un- der, no compulsfon, the comforts. of their own home life, and had crossed the ocean with no thought of any. other compensation than hardchip and suffering, very possibly death. When the history of the war came to be written there would be no more glor-

That night hoe was posted as “dead on the field of honor.” After eleven hours of obliv- ion he came to himself in a German ambulance. He pulled through, and two months later was pronounced out. of danger. A French girl who at- tended him promised to assist him, and brought him some old clothes. He let his beard grow: and did not wash his hands for some time in order to contribute to the effectiveness of his disguise as a tramp. On a dark night he took his departure unnoticed. Time after time he entered a village in the north of Francé by means of a@ pass, which he had forged. The German sen- try glanced carelessly at it and told him tq pass. Some days later a smug- gler obtained from a Prussian officer for a box of cigars.a pass for the French officer, which enabled him to reach a village near the Belgian fron- tier..

The man with the red muffler overtook him and said, “Follow me.” When they arrived on the other side of the frontier the man with the red muffler exclaimed “Hol- land.” The officer was free.

Germans Much Afraid of Canadians
The provision which is being made for the comfert of Canadian soldiers at the front is highly praised in a let- ter to Mr. Nesbitt, M.P., from a man from his 1:ding now at the front, ‘and forwarded to the minister of militia. The soldier wrote:
“Thanks «» the generosity of our government, I am pleased to say that we feel the discomforts of trench war- fare much less than the troops of the other. countries, owing to our ample supply of clothing and equipment, The gum boots are a very popular is- sue,” ;
Another letter received by Sir Sam Hughes comes from a resident of Portland, Me. The writer says that his son, a British artillery officer at the front, has highly praised the Can- adian troops there. “He tells me,” says the writer, “there ig a brigade of Canadians on his left, and that they do pretty much as they please with the Germans. The Germans are much afraid of the Canadians.”
The Hired Boy
There is the making of a good man in the hired boy on the farm, but he may be sady spoiled in the making if too niuch is put upon him. If his shoulders are loaded with blame for everything that goes wrong indoors and out, if €veryone feels privileged to give him orders, if he is regarded as a mere: machine without muscles to tire or sénsibilities to wound, then what can be expected of him?
Those into whose hands are com- mitted this youth have a responsibil- ity above that of merely providing food, shelter and clothing. There is laid upon them the duty of dealing justly and conscientiously with the lad.

That Germany practically controls the island of St. Thomas by lease from Denmark, ané has established there a base of great strategic value, particu- larly because of its proximity to Porto Rico and the Panama Canal.

Ammunition is Expensive
It Costs More to Shell Than to Build a Town
One thing tho present war has shown us—it costs infinitely more to destroy a village or a town by high explosive shells than it costs to build it. .
Perhaps tle finest instance of this is Souchez.
Souchez is, as an artillery officer expressed it, “beautifully” destroyed. There is not one stone left gtanding on another; there is not even a whole stone or brick, Never in the history of war has any Village received so many shells as Souchez, and ‘ their cost would certainly suffice to build up that village again fifty or a hun- dred times over.
There exists a certain viaduct which was blown up at the begin- ning of the -var and then repaired by the French at a cost of abour $70,000. The Germans disliked that viaduct, and brought up a 420 (17- inch) howitzer, with a battery or 89

ron all nections of the Dominion comes evidence of the “gat together’’ spirit shown by our own farmers in the festa see dis- trict. The Colonist of Victoria, B.C., has this in a recent issue:
‘It is very satisfactory to know that the Metchosin Farmers’ institute is about to enter upon’ a) campaign for greater production and more business-like methods. ‘This is what: we have all wanted.

THE MATTER OF PENSIONS FOR WAR VETERANS
ENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS and the record ‘of naval ser- vice branch in connection with the war were ‘the sub- jects of debate in the commons recently. Both discussions’ were based upon resolutions moved by Mr. E. M. McDonald, of Picton; calling for information. - : In connection with thé pensions debate, Premier Borden declared himself in favor of vocational schools for returned _ woldiers inwhich they couldbe given technical instruction which would enable them to earn a living. He intimated that the new pension plan would shortly be introduced.
‘Fair minded Canadians will look with favor upon reason- able pension proposals and it isto be hopedthat our men at Ottawa will bring into force a pensiun policy that will be com- mensurate with the services that have been rendered by Cana- adian soldiers during the great struggle,
Upon their return, our men muaét be reasonably taken. care of and those who remain at home, who do not fight in this war for civilization’s cause, willnot have power enough to do too much for those war veterans after their duty is done.. Canada will ‘owe to them a debt that can never be adequately repaid
CANADA MUST HAVE ANADEQUATENAVY - | -
IR. ROBERT BORDEN, in shi course of a apeech, review-'
ing the naval issues hetween the two parties, made the
ssibacestiont statement that it had been arranged just before
the outbreak of the war that Sir. John Jellicoe would come to
Qanada to consult withthe government in regard +o a per-
manent policy. The war, however, had upset this arrrange- ment.
What might have transpired prior to. the outbreak of war in eonnection with the naval department makes no difference at‘this juncture but the fact remains that this war has proven to our dominion how absolutely necessary tothe welfare of our country is the establishment of a naval power that will be adequate for the protection of our coasts. Canada must have anavy and she must have anavythat will be of sufficient strength to assure her people of safety from sea invasion.
A GERMAN WRITER’S DEMAND . FOR EARLY PEACE
M{AZIMILIAN HARDEN is most out spoken in an article in
Die Zukunft. He makes astrong demand for peace and urges that the German government start ee hen im- mediately .
“Germany,” he says, “has heaped victory on vicloxy. Upon her, therefore, revolves’ the duty of making an offer of peace. Such an offer could only add to, and not diminish, her prestige.
ould be proof of her strength, not weakness.
“Besides, Germany must propose peace because she is in need of peace. Germany is victorious in the field, but intér- nally she is beset. with difficulties. Wecannot deny that the preparations for the third harvest are more difficult than for the second. Wedo not yet lack men, but we can no longer procure certain war materials.
“If Germany waits longer she will find herself reduced to ubey the will of her enemies It thus becomes necessary that she invite the world to conclude peace. This invitation may be interpreted asa sign of weakness, but that matters little. If our offers are declined we shall have fulfilled the final duty which: our conscience dictates toward Europe and toward humanity.” The last paragraph clearly indicates that the Ger- man writer has not figured as to how a peace proposal would appeal to Great Britian; nor hashe figured the recent state- ment of the British Prime Minister about the termination of the war. Butimagine him talking about the final duty of
“eonscience.” (Germany has not known a “conscience” since .

“Certainly not.”
Lord Gravenhurst uttered these words in so decisive a tone, frown- ing the while with so much intensity, . that nobody but Lady Gravenhurst, his gentle, meek eyed, yét most digni- fied wife; would for a moment have .thought it~ possible tnat he would re- ecnsider a decision announced wito s0 much promptitude and .with so much forcé, . a “But Lady Gravenhurst, sweet and

“They have lived so much out of the
real world,” she explained, ‘‘that they have made a world of their own.”
“But Emmeline,’ surely she doesn’t

“Oh, no. But she will develop some

They were sitting in the drawing- room. together after dinner, and to their ears came faintly the sound of | the click of the billiar! balls, and the voices of their two youngest children, Thomas, Viscount Fastling, down for | the vacation in his third year at.

This was all that Lady Gravenhurst
desired, but she was careful to show no elation.

ter turning rather restlessly the sheets of the Field which he was read- ing, laid down the paper with a snap, and asked discontentedly:
“These Jacksons,.what are they?”
Lady Gravenhurs+ affected fer a moment to have forgotten what they had been talking about.. Then, with a little “Oh.” she recovered the thread —which’she had not lost, and answer- ed with. elaborate indifference:
“Oh, they call themselves ‘Oare- .ackson,’ and I think the man made his money in America.”
The Earl answered with some sever- | ity: | “And do you think people of who n | one knows no mor: than that, are, proper companions for my daugh- ters?”
Lady Gravenhurst affected to seem a little shocked. Then she ventured |- calmly: ‘
“I suppose they would not, always have been thought visitable persons. But nowadays one visits everybody. Doesn't one?” .
“] don’t,” said th. Earl.
“No. But the girls—at least Emme- | line—complain that life here is dull. _And of cource it is very quiet.”
After a silence the Earl said:
“Eastling can go, if he likes.”
“Oh, of course he is going.” |
*As for the girls, I'm gure Ursula | has no wish to spend a week with! ‘these—these—"” The Earl looked about for a word which should be con- temptuous enough without being -too} strong for a lady's ears—‘these par- | venues.” |
Then Lady Gravenhurst looked up
“Don’t you think, John, that it would be good for Ursula to see some people outside her own small circle? | She's twenty-five, and what with her! parish work, her district visiting and: nursing the sick poor, she is getting | really quite too—too—” She broke off ; and ended desperately. “Weil, she’s getting really more like a nun than aoything.”
“A nun!” echoed the Earl, surpris- ! ed and rather alarmed. .
Ilis wife looked up.
“She will end by joining a sister- ; hood or sOmething of that sort, if we) don't take care,” she said with deci-| sion.
Lord Gravenhurst looked disturbed. He was entirely spoilt and selfish, though always courteous and kind; and as long as he could have the bright and comely faces of his daugh- ters about him he troubled himself -uot at all about their future.
Lady Gravenhurst, on the other hand, though she was no husband- hunter, looked forward with longing to the time when’ she should have grandchildren about her knee, and fe't that, if the girls were to marry, it was time to bestir herself on their behalf. Indeed, it- was getting plain that, if she’ did not, her youngest | daughter would be cutting herself |

Britain’s Supremacy
Britain is Supreme in Air and on the Sea
Discussing the new German Fokker, Alan RH. Hawley, president of the Aero Club_gf, New York, said:
“This new German monoplane will undoubtedly bring out the speedy }rench and British biplanes, _ which I understand, have not been used, be- cause of the difficulty of having wide enough landing grounds for them at the theatre of war.”
Henry Woodhouse, a governor of the Aero Club, said he had heard about the “Fokker” class planes of the Germans, and was surprised that

does not mean that they will be su- preme in the air, except in Russian territory, where they have thousands of aviators to the hundreds of Rus- siang. It takes severa] thousand acro- planes and trained aviators to give supremacy. ’
“As a matter of fact, the British navy has been supreme in the air as well as on the water during the whole war. This is largely due to the large number of ‘America’ and ‘super-Amer- ica’ flying boats, made in this coun- try, which are equipped with two 160- horsepower motors. More than 100 of these great machines and about 500 of the smaller types have been delivered to Great Britain during the last year. One American . firm has
‘orders for 1,100 more, including some
huge flying boats, ‘ch are veritable battle cruisers. Se -ral other firms are constructing Jarge land and water aeroplanes with two and more en- gines,”

Our Debt to France.
We of the civilized world - owe France a decent regard for her ma- terial bravery, but there is something finer than that which we should re- cognize in France, Before the war began the popular idea of the French people—which may well have been erroneous, but which certainly existed —wWag that they were gay, irrespon- sible, irreligious, content with a kind of butterfly existence, thoughtless of the rights of others while their pleas- ures and joys were assured—a people, in short, rather to be looked down on in many ways. We were wrong if we had such thoughts. The conduct of the French people, the French army, the French commanders. and the leaders of’ French thought in the war proves it. France’s people have now shown their real quality. They have given us a true insight into patriotism.—(Hart- ford Courant) Shortage of Farm Labor is Expected.
As a result of war conditions there will in all: probability be a shortage of competent farm laborers in Sas- katchewan during the coming spring and summer. The bureau of labor of the Department of Agriculture of the Saskatchewan Government is making every effort to obtain sufficient farm laborers from other parts of Canada and the United States. Farmers who anticipate a shortage of help in their districts and who require men should make application at once to the Bureau of Labor in order that steps may: be taken~ to secure a.sufficient number of men to meet if possible the requirements of the province. .
“Safety first’. seems to be the motto of some of the judges in the West Indies. When an alien prisoner is brought before them, they consider ‘the possibility of a gu=boat from the culprit’s native land popping in to make trouble.
It is told that a Hayti magistrate, on examining a prisoner, found that he was from Switzerland.
“Switzerland,” he mused. “Switzer- land has no -eacoast, has it?”
“No seacoast, your Honor,” said th. interpreter.
“And no navy?”
“No navy, Your Honor.”
“Very: well, then,” said the Judge, “T'lh give him a. year at hard labor.”

During 1915 the deaths announced |
in the Times included those of 854 meén and 1,117 women of 80 years or over. Among them were sevén cen- tenarians, all women, ; Insurance’. statistics have shown that women live longer than men. Between 55 and 65. the deaths of men exceed the deaths of women in a remarkablé degree, owing largely,
according: to a medical view; to the -
harder work and greater carelessness of diet among men. Oy as
According..to a New. York actuary a woman who takes an endownment insurance policy lives longer than a woman who takes an ordinary. life policy. “The longevity of the endow- mént woman js undoubtedly a ques- tion of spirit and the determination to live until the policy matures.”
“The woman over 55 undoubtedly leads-a quieter and more sheltered life than the man,” said a doctor. “Her life work ig largely done; where- as ‘father’ is competing in business against younger men who are hustling him harder and harder.” ‘

Paris, the centre of the world’s fashions, has no: fewer than 60,000 women dressmakers, not counting de- signers and fitters, which would bring the number up to close on 100,000. The designers, who sketch out their ideag in pen and ink or with water colors, and often originate the fash- ions that -prevail throughout’ the world, earn easily well over~four figures a year.
Good mannequins are the most dif- ficult to obtain. Some.of the largest Parisian houses employ 20 or 30, whose whole time is passed in trying on dresses before the eyes of the fashionable French women. Naturally the numbers are fewer nowadays, and many of the most famous mannequins of Paris are now nursing in the hos- pitals or employed in French munition ) works,

Any plan that will only mean that returned soldiers will be induced to go on to farms and will not insure that they will not, after a short time, drift into the cities will be very in- adequate. Exceptional treatment will probably have to be extended to such men.

Age of Hens. With the vast improvement tn the feeding of poultry ‘which has taken place during the last few years,” says The Farmer and Stock Breeder, “there ig a decided tendency on the part of purely egg farmers to keep the hens a third season. The saving in the rearing is held to compensate for the lessened egg output. Hens that have been fed on the nitrogenous side from chickenhood, and never al- jowed to get fat internally, are younger in the third season, and will produce more eggs than hens of the second season that have been on all
ie starchy grair.
At the same time it is seldom wise. save in the case of breeding stock, to keep hens more than two seasons.

Preventing Mottled Butter, PERFECTION RAZOR PASTE
Can be Overcome by the Application of Proper Methods
Mottled butter, though it may be of very good flavor, is strongly dis- criminated against by the purchaser. As this is a.defect of workmanship, it can be overcome by the application of proper methods on the part of the buttermarker.
Mottles are catised primartly by an
uneven distribution of salt in the butter. This may be p roduced by in sufficient working of the butter or by churning, washing, and working it at a very low temperature, or by washing or working it at a temper ature several degrees lower than the churning ture.
When the quantity of butter made in one churning is) much usual, it ig necessiry to ygreater number of revolutions of tue ‘churn than usual in order to produce {the same results on the butter.

| White Phosphorus Matches | Hon. T. W. Crothers, minister of labor, has given notice of a bill to amend the white phosphorus matches act. The amendment will extend for six months from Jan. 1 of this year the time allowed during which the white phosphorus matches may be sold and for one year the time during which they may be legally used. Un- der the legislation of the session of 1913 the manufacture of white phos- phorus mafches was prohibited after January 1, 1915, and the sale after January 1, 1916. It was foynd that considerable stocks of these matches were still on hand at the beginning of this year, and it is deemed reason- able to allow merchants a longer per- }iod of six months to get rid of sheir | stocks.
