Jrlenniger asked why the cement sidewalk around the new post office had not heen finished, and to complete his new hospital The matter was thoroughlyjliscussed by i the members of the board, and the opinion appeared to prevail that j even if the council felt inclined to, aid a private enterprise, it could not Uo so without submitting the question to the ratepayers. The matter was laid for legal advice At a discussion laterin the evening on the same subject, it was shown that the city was not in a financial condition to make the grant,and nearly all the members of the board expressed themselves as unwilling to entertain tbe idea without first consulting the wishes of the ratepayers. Aid. Donaldson said he understood the Canadian Pacific railway had let, a big contract for work on its bridge in this city, and he thought that a committee ~ should be appointed to interview the contractors and the railway official-and endeavor to induce them to employ only citizens of the country on- the work. Acting on this suggestion, the mayor appointed Aid. Donaldson and McCallum to perform this- task. , City Clerk Hutton asked for iu structions regarding the apportionment of cost in the construction of cement sidewalks in order to enable him to make-his report on this subject. The desired information was furnished him, and then the council adjourned.

C. 3 1 .i- TEETH AND THE APPLE Expensive Sweets Said to Ruin the Teeth Dr. Sims Wallace, late dental surgeon to tlie London Hospital, urges the adoption of a diet containing a good quantity of farinaceous food in a iorm which will stimulate mastication, ���������brown bread and the eating of-fresh fruit-with every--meal. The importance of the proper care of teeth during childhood is becoming universally recognized, and the .London, county council have established a centre for the treatment of dental troubles of school children with X- rays. -'. According to investigation it was round that about 39 per cent, of the children of well-to-do parents have bad teeth, as against 27 per cent, from poorer homes. This is probably accounted for by the fact that, as the latter children eat coarser food, their (colli have' more work to do, and are consequently stronger and cleaner. Their sweets are also fewer, and are mostly "of -the cheap, boiled sugar variety.. These sweets break up cleanly in the mouth, .whereas, the caramels aud chocolates eaten by the children of indulgent parents cling-to thc teeth and ferment. Boys and girls should b given fruit in preference to sweets. Nuts and all hard fruits encourage mastication. The best fruit for this purpose is the apple.

The taste caused by cows eating wild -onions or garlic can be removed by blowing filtered- and washed air through the milk for 30 to CO minutes, according to the strength of the flavor to be removed. .':,'. It is necessary to heat the milk to a temperature of 3 45 degrees, as air blown through cold milk in a similar ���������'manner docs not remove the- disagreeable flavor. It also has a tendency to turn the fat into butter, tt was found that thc onion flavor is removed more quickly when milk is heated to 1.G0 degrees, but this tends to produce a cooked taste and also reduces the cream line. In. the case of cream with flavors of this kind, the same method can be used, except that it requires a slightly longer treatment. Thc loss in evaporation by using this method amounts to or .", per cent.

According to the Electrical World, this electrical hand drier is i.i appearance merely a sheet-iron case, with an opening in the top. In using it, you put your hands in the opening, and with your foot press a pedal at the bottom of the case- The pedal starts a blower, which in turn forces air through the electric heater, and sends a warm current of it over your hands. Your hands will, it is said, be thoroughly dry in from thirty to for- j ty seconds���������muchjless time than anyone ordinarily needs in order to/dry them with a towel.

Windsor, Ontario ocrease- s 9 OKmSKKin) s e ectiort To reassure our customers and the T.acle generally in the face of so many advances and rumored advances in the cost of food products, Tea, Coffee, etc., we have decided to announce definitely that there will be no advance in price of COWAN'S PERFECTION COCOA in 5-Ib., 1-lb., Vi-h., }{-\\b. and 10c. ti: s, between now and Christmas. Further than this we cannot look ahe::d. We believe it to be the duty of all Canadian. Manufacturers to do their utmost during the present crisis to show iheir belief in the underlying soundness of Canada's commeicia*. conditions. This announcement is made in face of the fact that the Cowan Company have had to pay an advanced price for some of their raw materials; buJit is believed that increased demand from Atlantic to Pacific, because of falling foreign imports and embargos on teas and coffees, will offset other conditions and enable our largely increased factory to run full time with full or increased staff at full wages. The Cowan Company, as manufacturers of an article of unusual food value, are sincerely anxious to do their share in allaying anxiety as to employment, wages and food supplies. Do You Realize the Food Value of COCOA and CHOCOLATE? Cocoa and Chocolate are foods as staple as flour. Cocoa is not a luxury, but a staple necessity of life, and, considered from the standpoint of its value as nourishment in concentrated form pure Cocoa at 50c. a pound is a most economical food. The food value of Cocoa and Chocolate has been recognized for many years in Great Britain and Europe. The highest medical authorities have made the ctatemsnt that Cocoa and Chocolate are the most sustaining of all foods in concentrated form. European soldiers almost universally carry ChocoI?.te in their kits as an emergency ration in case of food shortage, or fatigue :n forced marches, and viewed from this standpoir t the late Que-:n Victoria's gift to her soldiers in South Africa, takes on a new significance. We all ppreciate Tea and Coffee, but, after all is said, thesa beverages are m rely pleasant, slightly stimulating drinks, with little or no food vr.lr.e. Co an's Perfection Cocoa, on the contrary is a splendid food as well as drink, end a delightful drink as"well as food.

Mr. ' Foster will be greatly miss������d by every member of the fourth estate in this province, as well as by every reader of the Daily News. During the six years he has been connected with the News, he has made thai paper one of the best newspapers in British Columbia. He will undoubtedly make as good a soldier as he has proved himself clever as'an editor, and thereby gain distinction ou the field of honor. Budding humorists should select a more appropriate subject for their jests than the present war. No person with brains would treat this subject with levity. To write good humor requires a large amount of grey matter. The lack of this probably explains the reason why they choose this theme. This would'have been a pleasant world if a wise providence had allotted us sixty years in which to gather experience, and then turned our ages back to twenty and al- 1 jwed us to live our lives over again in a rational manner. Shylocks who demand their pound of flesh at this critical period of the empire's history are as great a menace to .the country as the German spies, and should be meted out the same treatment.

Sunday School Work A Sunday school workers' meeting was held on Wednesday evening in Knox church to hear addresses by Mesdames King and Barlow on the recent Nelson Dis., trict Sunday school convention. Both ladies furnished an array of facts and figureB regarding the great Sunday school movement t at were very interesting and prac tical. At the close a unanimous standing vote of thanks was tendered the delegates. At the convention the leading speakers, R. C. Pearce and Mrs. Bryner, of Chicago; Rev. G.T. Pratt, of Seattle, and Field Secretary I. N. ing," etc. was laid upon the great advantages of the new system of graded lessons wherehy the factn and -teachings of sacred scriptures were carefully adapted to trie different ages of the ooung. Missions, the speakers all claimed, should have a prominent place in the Sunday school program, as also tempereiice. Some of the interesting facts reported by the delegates were as follows: There, is now an army of thirty millions in the weekly Sun day schoui systematic study of the Bible. The vastness of this army may be imagined by the fact that if they vveie marshalled abreast, six feet ap.trl. and marched at the usual pac^ past a given point, for six days a week, it would lake them a year and eight mouths to pass. There are approximately $16 per beau spent in the secular education of the boys and girls, where there are only 46 cent.- expended on the religious education of the child, yet the churches*"recruit from the Sunday schools 75 per cent of their con gregations, 85 per cent of their church membership, 90 per cent ol their ministers, and 95 per cent ot their missionaries for gospel, medical and educational work. reset.

Mr. James M.

Doctors treated me in vain, and I tried many treatments before I cams across Dr. Chase's Ointment.

C, ;1i SQIE CAUSES THAT LEO T INCIDENTS THAT BROUGHT HISTORIC CONFLICTS ON The Cause of the Present Great World Struggle Can be Easily Traced, But All Wars Have Not Had Such an Apparent Origin���������Notable Cases in History. The real cause of the present war was undoubtedly the ambition of the German nation, arising ,from its - well trained and prepared condition. Directly the cause was the outrageous demand made ' upon Servia by Austria to permit Servians suspected of complicity In the murder of Archduke Ferdinand to' be tried In their'own land by Austrian officers. Tho Involving of Russia had - been expected, as had. also the participation of Germany, who was certain to attack France as a precau- . tlonary measure, which would call' in"Great Britain to the fray by a side wind, viz., tho forcible German entry of Belgium. But all wars have not had causes bo easily traced at the time, nor so .."'ous in their intentions. A man may start a bit of a row In his own home by appearing r.nan- nounced with . a clean shave after ��������� having -worn a luxuriant hirsute adornment for years, but ordinarily the trouble does not go beyond his own door. Louis VI. of France was less fortunate. A visit to the Royal barber plunged two nations���������France and England���������into intermittent warfare which lasted f!00 years. ' According to the story, the Archbishop of Rouen persuaded the king to remove his beard in common, with his subjects. The act led to so much friction with the queen that at last Louis divorced her, to become a few months later the wife of Henry II. of England. From this marriage centuries- of bloodshed may be said to have followed. In an iron cage iu the tower of the cathedral in Modena, Italy, a bucket which 900 years ago was the cause of a terrible war may be seen today. Soldiers of Modena, In a ��������� mischievous mood stole the bucket from, a public' well in Bolgona and refused to return it. The States were rivals and were jealous of each other and fights between soldiers'of the two followed. This spark kindl- ed"a fire of war which devastated a large part of Europe and led to the Imprisonment for life of the King of Sardinia, son of the German emperor. A broken teapot started . a war hi' China 250 years - ago, which cost half a million lives. The teapot was the cherished possession of a dignitary high in favor with" tlie emperor. When travelling through n lawless ��������� province .in tho northwest of China some of his retinue, who had fallen behind the main body, were intercepted by a band of robbers, and among the spoils tch teapot was. found and contemptuously thrown on tlie ground and broken. The mandarin reported his loss to the emp xr, a force oi.' soldiers was sent out, and a long and terrible war ensued. - ��������� Lord Palmerston once said that only three men had ever known the .exact nature of the troubles in Schles- wlg-I-Iolstein, which led to two great wars. Two of them had died before (be wars broke out,-and he, the third of the trinity, had completely forgotten whatit was all about. The manipulation by Count Bismarck, then Prussia's Foreign Minister, of a telegram set Prussia and France flying at each other's throat In 1870. The French ambassador ���������went to Ems, where Emperor Wil Ham I. then was. to ask him not to approve the ambition of Prince Leopold to become the ".King of Spain. The king, refused to give a definite answer, but Prince Anthony of Ho- henzollern withdrew his scion's candidacy. A report of the conference '���������-was submitted by telegram to Count Bismarck, with authorization to publish it. Bismarck altered the text, nnd in the changed form gave It to the newspapers and through them to France, and'the international war with all its horrors followed'. Years later Bismarck confessed the forgery. . ; The war "of the Spanish succe.-;- .'Rl6ir:������:lrx~.which the ereat- Duke of Marlborough. played a brilliant -p.a rf-.,. was said to be the" outcome of a glass of water at 'a ball at the Tui- leries in Paris. One of the court ladies had expressed a wish for a, drink of water in the hearing of the British and Spanish ambassadors, who hastened to got It for her. Returning each with a tumbler, they found the fair bird had flown ami was dancing with a French statesman. The English diplomat accidentally, it is presumed, brushed against the Spaniard and upset the giass he was carrying. This ridiculous incident inflamed the jealousies of the nations and turned the balance in favor of war. The Seven Years War was' largely due, according to his own confession, to the vanity of Frederick the Great In wanting to see his name figure largely in the gazettes. The Sepoys were said to have believed that cartridges served out to (hem were greased with the fat of animals, unclean alike to Hindu and Mohammedan, and tlie Indian Mutiny was precipitated. Tho Turko-Russian war was said to have been started by the hammer with which a Herzegovian blacksmith lulled a tax collector who had insult- 6(1 bis daughter. The stealing of a Castile lady's ���������nee pettleont by a Moor led to mnnv years of fierce warfare between the Spaniards and the Moors. The emptying of a bucket of a Florentine citizen on the head of a Milanese gave rise to an inter-provincial war In Italy. Borrowing a tobacco pipe and falling to return it kindled a civil war which lasted for years 'among the rival races In Pamir's and Afghanin- tan. A dispute as to the^relative attractions of snails and vipers as food started fifty yars of fighting between Milan and Pisa. WAR GROWS MORE HUMANE Improvement In Arms and Hospital Accommodation Is Responsible In the American civil war eight soldiers died of disease lo one.from wounds. Experts expect that in the present general European struggle not more than three will fall victim, to sickness to one killed on the field of battle. So It is expected that the present war, the greatest yet in history, also will-be the most humane. There will be no disproportionate mortality list from ^disease and an army of cripplss as an aftermath: ,; The modern high-power, quick-firing military Tifle and the development in artillery,will, have much to do with the change. Those, who die will die more quickly. Gangrene and. infection will be practically unknown quantities tt is thought. Before the Russo-Japanese conflict the armies the world over used a large calibre bullet, made of unsheathed lead and greased to overcome friction in the barrel. The muzzle velocity was less than hall that of the missiles how employed. Then, too, bayonetarid sabre charges were more common. These resulted in hideous wounds, very difficult for surgeons to handle. - The bullets which are flying in Europe today are of less diameter than the ordinary lead pencil. They ; are Jacketed with nickel, lead or steel and have tremendous velocity. v/The soft, mushrooming bullet of the old day resulted in the shattering of bones'and the crushing, rather than cutting, of tissues. Infection was al' most, inevitable, the grease being especially unsanitary. A wound 'in. the abdomen was considered necessarily fatal. The death rate among the wounded was enormous.. In recent campaigns there are instances where soldiers shot in what were once considered vital spots have walked unsupported to the field hospitals. ' -.'������������������.-,���������:' :".

We should go further, and buy only goods that are manufactured in our own town or province in preference to competing lines of goods. While the west is., l rim- arily a 0rain producing country, and agriculture will no doubt always be the chief industry, there are many other industries already established, which if loyally and consistently supported by the western people, will, in time, contribute immensely to the general wealth and importance of the west. .

SURGICAL WONDER Idiot by Organ Child Made Sound Transplanation Dr. Serge Voronoff, tho well-known Paris surgeon, is said >.o have succeeded in grafting a monkey's tryroid gland (a gland whose functions are unknown, saddled upon the larynx and windpipe), on a child suffering from cretinism, and effectinj; a radical cure. (Cretinism is a state of imperfect mental development, or idiocy). Dr. Voronoff described the case before the Paris Academy of Medicine. It was unaniniously regarded as opening a new path in constructive surgery, rich in discoveries, which will diminish human suffering. The child, aged fourteen years, was attacked when eight by myxedema (atrophy of tlie thyroid gland) as a sequel to scarlet fever, and ever after has presented all the symptoms of severe cretinism. Dr. Voronoff, In the presence of nineteen doctors, grafted to the child's ueck the right lobe of the thyroid gland of a large baboon. The ..child has since continued to grow rapidly in body and mind. While formerly apathetic and silly, she '.now turbulent and sharp; This is the first time that grafting of an organ from an animal to a human being has been accomplished with success. A number of previous attempts were made by Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, of New York, but all failed. .It Is believed that the operation may become common, and that numbers of cretins and imbeciles now leading a purely vegetative existence may be transformed into useful members of society.

Maxims of the Great Napoleon The following' are some maxims of the great French soldier, Napoleon Bonaparte: "Unity of command is a first necessity of war." "Love is the occupation of the idle man, the distraction of the warrior, the stumbling block of the sovereign." "A great captain -ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy appear on my front, my right or my left, what should I do? If he finds Jiimself embarrassed, he. is ill posted." "When a king is said to be a kind man, the reign is a failure." "Heart! How do you know wha'; your heart is? It is a bit of you crossed by a big vein in which the blood goes quicker when you run." "The heart of a statesman should be" in his head." "High tragedy is the school of great men. It is the duty of sovereigns to encourage and spread it. Tragedy warms the soul, raises th heart, can and ought to create heroes." "Bleeding enters into the combination of political medicine." "The vice of our modern institutions is that they have nothing which appeals to the Imagination. Man can only be governed through -imagination. "Without it he is a brute." "Conscription is the eternal root of a nation, purifying its morality and framing all its habits."

Homes For Workers The outrage of our Amer can cities is the way we bid for home-seekers, when we have no homes to offer them, after we lure them to come. Our factories scour the country for workers, bring them,in, and turn them loose, to find shelter wherever they can. Our business organizations offer tonuses for hew factories,- bidding for these which bring in the-largest number of families. "Another factory! 100 families! More prosperity!" they announce, in big headlines. One of the saddest sights of the slums is to see the thrifty wife of the working man, with her rosy brood of children, used to country air and sunshine, used to space, privacy, good surroundings, cleanliness, quiet, shut up amid the noise and dirt and confusion, in the gloom of the slum. That is an unusual family that can maintain, the sanctity of its home life, in the tenements. The.Irave fight may be made if the father and mothev are spared, to hold control,' and provide the bread. But how many working i\\ien in our cities, the records show, fall a pre: to tuberculosis, t.vphoid, pneumonia, and oilier "house diseases!" How many mothers are beckoned from their little families by the same ghastly finder! Any one Who will search the records will find that a startling number of dependent families become so on .-.ccount of death or prolonged Illness of the 'iroad -winner. And the children? The ranks of the dependent ant", delinquent are recruited���������in what percentage we'ought to know, but any percentage is' too large���������from tlie families of the working men that are brought into our cities and dumped into our dilapidated old death-trans.
