Huge Program Some 50 Ships Valued at $2.,000.000 For Coast Yards British Columbia's shipbuilding program provides for tbe construe1- tion of some lt/,0U. gross Ions of commercial shipping, which will have a total carrying capacity of nearly 185,(1011 Ions. The value of these shins some 50 In all, is in the neighborhood of $.'5,1100,00(1. While this estimate of construe- lion of tonnage is only approximate, jt includes practically every ship ot importance in freight-carrying There are, however, a number of small ships being built, such as fishing boats, which have not been included. With these the total gross lonnage would bc about 150,000. All the ships forming a pari of the present program if shipbuilding are laken in account. Some of the ships are already in the water, some are scarcely begun, but the amount of lonnage given represents definite contracts only. Consumption of Rice Greatly Increased Believed That It Has Direct Relation to High Price of Wheat and Potatoes The increasingly important part rice is playing in feeding the. people of llie Uniled. States is shown in figures compiled by llie United Slates food administration. The production for 1914-1915 amounted to 1,064,205,000 pounds, with a per capita consumption of 11.34 pounds. This was increased in lhc 1916-1917 crop to 1,831,590,000 pounds, wilh a per capita consumption of 17.33 pounds. The lafge increase in consumption during the past year undoubtedly lias direct relation to lhe high price of potatoes and wheat, The rice crop of India for Mir past year showed an increase of 1,255,000 Ions. Where is Berchtold ? The Greatest Incendiary of History Drops Out of Sight "Who caused (he war?" Already the man whose hand actually set the match In thc tinder is all but forgotten, But \ustria-Hltngary today starving and suffering tinlold hardships, may remember. It was Count Berchtold, Austro- Hungarian premier and minister of foreign affairs, wlio actually started the conflagration.

Berchtold dropped from sight when the blaze be hail slarled raged far beyond his control. lie retired to private life doubtless thankful for the obscurity which soon descended upon him.

It is called free- zone, and can now bc obtained in tiny bottles asi here shown at very little cost from .any drug slorc. Just ask for free- zone. Apply a drop or two directly upon a tender corn or callus and instantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off, root and all, with the fingers, Nol a twinge of pain, soreness or irritation; not even the slightest smarting, either when applying freezone or afterwards. This drug doesn't pal up tie corn or callus, but shrivels them so they loosen and come right out. It is no humbug! It works like a charm. For a few cents you can g.t rid of every bard corn, soft corn or corn between the toes, as well as painful calluses oil bottom of your feet. It never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames. If your druggist hasn't any freezone yet tell him to get a Utile bottle for you from his ivsVudcr-alc house. Wound Up A member of parliament had emptied tbe room wilh an interminable speech.

The total Danish production of margarine in 1916 was 124,781.620 pounds, according t" data received by tin.- United Slates fund ailiuini>- l ration, The substitution of this margarine for butter allowed tlie exportation of all llu: butler produced, except S.6 per cent, much of this exportation going Into Germany, Holland, also a dairy counlry, In I9iti produced 31)6,828,000 pounds of margarine, of which 330,690,000 pi,unds were exported. Of the 1.1,- 322,000 pounds of Holland butter pro,bleed ihe exporlations amounted to 92,593,200 pounds.

An Historical Occasion The first and one of lhe very few limes in wliicli the Brilish parliament voluntarily transferred its authority to the king was in llie remarkable rase of Major John Baruardi, who died in Newgale prison, London, 181 years ago. Baruardi, a soldier, was arrested in 1696 and charged wilh complicity in a plot to assassinate King William III. Eight persons wcrc executed for their part in the conspiracy, but there was little evidence against Barnard! and five other suspects. Rather llian bring lliciu to trial or admit them to bail, as the law provided, parliament authorized tlie imprisonment of the men for one year, At the expiration of that period it was extended for another year. At the expiration of that period it was extended for another year, ami Ihen for a third, when parliament passed an act authorizing an act providing for the confinment of Baruardi and his companions "during His Majesty's pleasure."
