Taylor, member for New Westminster: ' _ \"- . \" With reference to the subject of pensions, it seems to rne that the pension committee of this house, in drawing -up the scale to which so much 'exception was taken at=\"its,,-.very-'\"inception,' altogether ignored the fact that this war is not. the same as any other war. On every other occasion when British armies have been called the.servico has been limited. There has been a rush to arms, actual competition for the honor ancl distinction of serving in the army. At the outbreak of this war the same was the condition in Canada and it was natural that at that time no attention should be paid to a matter of pensions. What had boen before was sup- posed to be good enough for the present- occasion. But, with the development of this war of science, in which men are being called upon for a hundred times the service that any soldier was ever called upon to give in the history of the world, it seems to me that the nation should rise to the occasion and deal with these soldiers in. a manner 00m- 'mensurate with the sei vice they have given and not in a manner based upon the very limited service that any soldiers in the past have been called upon to give. I am \"probably extreme in my view, but I put it forward seriously and with the conviction that when these men come back from the front and commence to make their influence telt- in the communities of Canada this view will be put- forward seriously from very' many quarters. This view is that our duty to the soldier who is maimed, or lo'the dependents of \"the soldier whoso body lies in France, is not to give them charith, barely sufficient to keep them forever the lowest class in the community in the way of comforts of life, but to place tho soldier himself, if he comes back maimed, in a position of equal comfort to that which ho occupied when he responded to our call to service or wheu, as we intend to do now, wo laid forcible hands on him and took him into the service. If he survives, the spirit of humanity should cause us to feel that nothing is too good for that man and that the least we can do is to make him financially as well off as he was be fore tho war, -or, if that man does not return at all, and his dependents are bereft, they should in their turn be put in just as good a position as far as the creature comforts of life aie concerned as they would have been if their provider had not been patriotic enough to give his services to-fehe country. This is plain compensation for the soldier's services. I am asking for such, compensation as I would be called upon to give to a man in my employ.' Those men are in lhe-, employ of the state and the state owes a duty to them, the duty of the employer towards his workmen in civil life, and owes it in alarger sense because of the terrible hazards which they take while they are in his employ. The answer to that will be: LoolrTat the terrible burden you will impose on the state. I admit the burden that must be borne, but if we do not restore the man or his family, then that man or his dependents are called upon to carry for the rest of their lives the burden that we have refused ^to assume; and it will remain, so long as they do carry it, in my estimation, a repi-oach to the community or state which permits it. If there is an awful burden it is better that it should be divided among twenty or thirty able-bodied men or prosperous families than that one maimed man or one bereft family should be al- Inwofl fv\\ l-ioo-r* -if nlrtna Mis.

If a person were to eat -nothing but eggs he would get just the chemicals needed for supporting life, but the system would not digest^an ex-, elusive diet like this. The person trying to live on eggs alone would _soon sicken, and if the diet were not changed, would die.

Besides all-this would be found 20 teaspobnfuls of salt, 50 full-sized lumps of sugar and 28 quarts of water. Thus it is evident that a human being is a great chemical factory, and the value, of a man in actual materials is considerable. The. .100 dozen eggs, would yield precisely the-same qualities of these chemical elements, and even at the present high rate of eggs most of us would rather have the eggs used for the purpose than the man. as It Does \"Three moves arc as bad fire.\" \"Yep.

Sweet, passed As- sistent Surgeon, United States Public Health Service, is the author of a' government health bulletin on \"The Transmission of Disease by,' Flics,\" which corrtains a timely warning on the dangers of arsenic fly poison. Dr. Sweet considers their use a menace which threatens, every home. That the fly poison peril is a real one is proved by the fact that the American ��������� Press has recorded 106 child poisoning cases in the last three years^ Dr. \"Sweet advises his readers to destroy flies some other way than with arsenic fly poison. He says, \"Of .other fly poisons mentioned, mention should be made, for the purpose of condemnation, of those composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of the poisoning of children through the -use of such compounds are far'. too frequent, and owing, to-the resemblance of arsenical poisoning to summer diarrhoea and cholera infantum. wc believe that the cases reported'do not, by any means, comprise the to-- tal.

In this statement he has indicated two of,the was's in which Germany ( is undergoing strangula- - tion; a third one is the'economic deterioration of the whole empire. In other words,\".the pressure on Germany is that of three differing but correlated forces���������military, exerted by means of armies and navies; economic, caused by unprofitable expenditures and an, effective blockade, and political, encouraged and intensified by the so far successful revolution in-Russia. Any one of these factors might prove, acting alone, inadequate to effect the collapse of Germany's resisting power; it .seems absolutely certain that their close co-operation must soon reduce the \"Central Powers\" to submission. If it. docs not, the final catastrophe will be all'the more complete when_ it does come.

They know by this time that there is not the slightest chanccof a break-up of the Allied combination against them. While the Allies arc not likely to make a separate peace with any of the nations on' the other 'side, the fact\" that it is open to_ them to do so may be a means of bringing an irresistible pressure to bear on Ccrmany -lo ask for peace terms, with an honest offer of reasonable conditions.

Contentment in India Large Portion of the Country Is Not Under British Administration \"The notion prevails in the United States that all India belongs to the British aud is administered by Ih'cm,\" says Saint Nihol/ Singh in a recent/ interview.- \"This is an utterly 'erroneous idea. A very- large and populous portion* of the peninsula is in the possession of its own people, and is ruled by thci.il with little or no interference from the British. I have coined the term /'Indian India' to differentiate between the India belonging to Indians and that in the -possession of the British. Indian India, with its area of 850,000 square miles, is almost one-third as large a$ continental United States. Its population, 7S,- 000,000 persons, is a little more than four-fifths.that of this country. Politically, British India is united.' It is divided into three presidencies and twelve provinces, which arc under the supreme goyernment of India, presided over by the Viceroy and Governor-General, who is under the Secretary of State for India���������a member of the British cabinet. Indian India, on the contrary, is not one political entity. \"During recent years I have had the privilege of coming in close contact with several Indians who rule in their own right and name, and I have watched their public and private lives. Without a single exception, I have found the Indian rulers to be men of great \" administrative capacity and statesmanship, all devoted to the welfare of their subjects and interested in all sorts of reform movements. Not many public servants or business men in America or elsewhere work so hard as do these Indian potentates.\" Hated by Germans for His Sympathy With British Prisoners The plain talk by J. W. Gerard, ex-minister to Germany, in New York about the treatment given prisoners by the Germans, is merely a repetition of what he said to the authorities in Berlin. His unpopularity in Berlin because of his refusal to keep his eyes shut to conditions was extreme. A_correspondent of an English'paper, writing after escap ing from the German capital, said'oi Ambassador. Gerard: \"Of the neutral, ambassadors that I met in Berlin the only one who seemed to me to have any outstanding personality was Mr. Gerard, the American ambassador, who shared '���������with Mr. Lloyd George the reputation of being the best hated man in the Fatherland. \"At the Wilhelmslrasse he was positively detested because of his outspoken remarks about the disgraceful v condition of the British prisoner camps in\\ Germany, and also because of his ^repeated warnings to the German government as to the grave effect on German- American diplomatic relations that would be caused by resumption of unlimited piracy.

How grandly stands the constitution of Austria- Hungary beside the constitutions^ of States like France and America, where the leaders of the nation are condemned to be \"'mere mouthpieces for plutocrats. \"Austria declared war on Serbia because our splendid heir to the throne had been murdered, and because it was necessary to root out the nests of the conspirators. How absolutely moral was such a motive for war! How 'grand the Austrian idea of Stalcl\" Thc closer your laud is to a good town, the more money il takes to buy it. We all know that. About the first thing the owner tries to- do when you dicker for a piece of land, is to justify the high price you are asking by pointing out how close the land is to town and the good roads leading to it. He knows this is the most appealing argument he can put up. Laud close to town and, adjoining good roads is not only desirable because, crops can be marketed with the least trouble and expense, but there aie other social and economical advantages as well. Consider the cold matter oi \"what a town is worth to the people owning land in the vicinity, measured from a dollars and cents standpoint. Mr._ 0.1*1. Johnson of the Alissouri Agricultural Station made a careful investigation of 650 farms and he proved by actual figures what a lot of us have known in a general way for a long time. % For instance, in the locality investigated, the 79 farms within two miles of town had an average value of .1*78.70 per acre as compared with $70.20 per acre for the 183 farms from two to four miles from town; $60.90 per acre for the 126 farms four to six,miles from town; $58 20 for the 113 farms six lo eight miles from town, and $55.90 for the 149 farms over eight miles from town. Mr. Johnson says that the most rapid decrease in value\"** occurred in the first six miles, after which the difference of a mile or two from town made less relative difference. Iu another instance, he points out that 42 farms valued at $100 or more per acre, had an average haul of about two and one-half miles to market; 62 in the $80 group had nearly three miles^ and the 275 in the $60 group five miles lo haul, while 246 in the $40 group averaged six and one- fourth miles to town. __.... These figures are startling, Listen to this: ��������� In one. locality; investigated, a/farm of 160 acres two and one-half/miles' from town had a market value of $16,000, while the same��������� kiud ot farm located six and one-fourth miles from town was only worth $6,400. And still, if you told the man who owned the first farm that his home town was actually worth in dollars and cents to him, personally, $10,000, he wou'd probably spend a good deal of time trying to show you - that he would be better off without the'-town at all. We have gotten so. in the'habit of lambasting our home ��������� town, most of the time for some petty political\" reason, that we frequently refuse to sec the truth when it is placed before us in actual figures. Just the same,-when we get off by ourselves, overcome our jealousies and temporarily forget about the town man that wc have it in for, then we really have to admit that the chants make the town just as the water makes the lake. Of course, other things have to be favorable, but the fact remains, that without merchants, you would have no town, and the better the mercantile establishments, the better the town���������always . Now, wc move along to the third question. \"How is the home town to have good merchants?\" Dear friends, there is no secret about it at all. Good stores iu your home town are the result of growth. They have to be invited, encouraged and maintain-^ ed. You have to get them just like you mature superior cattle,\" horses and hogs, by treating them fairly and giving them a chance to grow. In the language of the street, \"You can't play a lone hand in your community and get away with it very long,\" and the business game is jus,t the same. If the town is to help you, you must help ,the town, and the beauty of it is, by benefiting the town, you always and invariably benefit yourself most. These benefits are direct and indirect. Building up the town adds dollars to the value of your land and other fixed investments. That point is settled. Nobody seriously disputes it. It means greater social and educational advantages, benefits that cannot be measured by dollars and cents, but while apparently indirect, they are direct again in the sense that they add to the value of your fixed investments, because these are among the desirable things for which people generally are willing to pay. In summing up, as the lawyer? say, sifting out all the evidence and considering a few pertinent facts, you first want a good home town, and you want it as near to you as possible���������and, further, you want good roads leading to it. Now, to have a good town, __ you must have good stores���������there is no other way to make it���������and to have good stores and good merchants, yoti must give them a chance to live_, thrive and grow. You must treat them fairly. You do not abuse your stock, because such treatment doe* not pay, and the same personal interest is at stake in community build= ing. You must consider the merchants of your town as a community investment in which you are both in,*'- directly and directly interested. Yoil arc a stockholder, as it were, in youf home town, and the better you make your home town, the better your in*- vestment will be. You can't make your home town better unless you are on the squard with it and give the business interests ( there the proper chance for a normal and legitimate growth. Remember the story of the farmer who was so selfish and short-sighted that he trretf to make money by stunting his hogs, home town is far aud away the most Whe? __Kfi,nal!y 1solcl. ,thc -���������\"1?'

Once wc commence asking questions, we ho sooner have one of them -answered than wc ask another. Our first question was \"What's the good of the home town?\" and we answered it by sayinc- that, among other things, it really donated $10,000 to one man and like amounts, proportionately, to every other man owning land in the community. ' And now wc ask the. second question, \"What makes a.real, live, valuable home town?\" Wc might dodge the question by answering, \"Lots of things,\" but, really,-if we arc honest, we will get close to the truth by saying, \"The merchants,\" because without the merchants there would be no town. Ifis just as impossible to have a town without merchants as it is to have a lake without water. The mer- pric Just how many of us have driven into town with any thought of what our 3oss would be if that town wcra wiped out entirely and never replaced? Hoav many of us have considered that the town really meant any? thing to us except for a little wild talk on our part at limes? How- many of us have considered that tha merchants of the town were conferring upon us, and upon all members of the community, advantages worth in dollars and cents immeasurably more than any profits they got out of us? \"So you have taken to carrying around a monkey?

City Ways ior_ Country Stores Country Merchant Can Utilize City Store Methods to Good Advantage A department store draws a fine trade from the surrounding farming sections because the proprietor pays as much attention to keeping country customers informed about what is going on in the store as he does to keeping city shoppers posted. This merchant values .his country patronage. He considers\" it worth a good deal of effort, and says it is a mistake to think that country customers are either small buyers or- bargain hunters of cheap goods. Many of\\_thcm still cling to, the end-of-the- weck buying habit, which he caters to. 'They also have a keen eye for such legitimate bargains as occur in every store through stock moving. Again, they are attracted even more by the regular arrival of new merchandise in his different departments ~nd the store appeals to them most of all as a place where something is always happening in merchandise - Much has been said about the handicaps suffered by country stores iu competition with city stores and mail order houses. Probably the chief difficulty is that -customers of ������������������he average country store have never been taught to watch it as a place where something interesting in merchandise may happen at almost any time. The country merchant gets in goods from week, to week. But Iris customers usually have to discover for themselves what is new in ribbons, shoes, crockery or breakfast foods, because he docs not advertise novelties, or even display them. - From time to time the country merchant could gather up dead ends or merchandise and close them out at cut prices, turning them into mon- e> and fresh stock. The city stores all do that. But such sales are rare in country stores. Iu meeting competition the country merchant has attached too 'much importance to the fancied attractions of cheapness. Here is a skillful city merchant who assures him that cheapness is not the best appeal to country customers.- City stores use merchandise as an attraction���������as news. They draw customers because everybody is interested in seeing what is new, novel and pretty, and such displays educate people in personal appearance and comfort. The country merchant cannot compete in size and range of stock. But what he has he can show to bettei advantage, and he can..teach customers that on one day of the week, at- lcast, if they visit his store, they will find new goods worth seeing, placed where they can be seen, as w*ell as find old goods at money-saving prices. On a small scale almost every country store can utilize these city store methods. It is common mercantile experience That they pay \\\\herever used intelligently.���������The Commercial. . .,.

The warring nations have forbidden their citizens to export platinum, because 'it is used in making munitions, and the consequent shortage has greatly inconvenienced manufacturers of \"fine jewelry and of electrical, photo- giaphic, dental and surgical supplies, in Germany many manufacturers have'.'already substituted where they can an alloy of rhodium and palladium, two other metals of the platinum family.

May Yet Be Forced to Save Germany by Abdicating It looks as if Bavaria is to be the stormy petrel of the German Empire. It is' well-known that the South- German party is more alive today than it has been since Bismarck \"threw dust in its eyes,\"'and got his Conferedation scheme agreed to by Bavarian rulers. An association, known as the South Men of Germany lias issued a pamphlet in** which the writer compares the situation in Germany today with that of France ii; 1814 and 1815, and asks if the Kaiser will save Germany by abdication as Napoleon saved France. It says that victory for Germany is impossible, and that the opinion is gaining ground in The country that only a change of dynasty can mitigate the conditions of defeat. The writer suggests that the substitution of Wittelsbach- (the House of Bavaria) for Hohenzollern would be a guarantee for peace in Europe and also offer the prospect of a Greater Germany in' spite of defeat. He advances a program of \"Great Gcrmanists,\" as against that of the Fan-Germans, and defines it as the inclusion of the Germans of the Austrian Empire, which is clearly approaching its death agony. ' He thinks that the substitution of Wittelsbach for Hohenzollern .would facilitate the inclusion of Austrian Germans in the Empire and at the same time would render possible the establishment of cordial relations with England and France, who would fever willingly consent to treat with the Kaiser or,the Crown Prince. Commenting upon the pamphlet, the Volksrecht says that it represents a movement against the Hohcnzoll- crns which is widely spread in Bavaria and practically all South many.

But one thing you can discern, for it is borne in on you with every wind of - the spirit that blows. A force of_ increasing power, mobility, morale, stands against a force decreasing re- laiively in all these particulars. The tests of this assertion? They are nany. Today the Franco-British armies are an essentially unharrassed body of soldiers and workers, pursuing their many tasks of transport, fortification, artillery menace and preparation, with little interruption from the enemy. The.German armies arean esesntially harrassed body. Their trenches, batteries, lines\" of- communication, are more constantly under.fire from a greater number of guns, and are more often raided, as the result of offensive actions, small and great, a heavy drain of prisoners and a considerable and growing stream of deserters, whose excuses for finding their way from their'lines to ours fail to cover the truth that' they are.sick of the war. No such diminution affects the other.

There is riot a comparable total of British and French losses. The general effect of annoyance and attrition reflects itself, again, in the nervous, homesick, desperately weary and unhappy tone of. the Tetters of the German soldiers and The physical condition of the prisoners.

Sa.t aud ice, the medium considered by- Canadian Butter Can Now Compete ��������� With all Comers Without a Handicap Marked expansion and a phenomenal development in the dairying industry of .Alberta were two things emphasized at the Alberta Dairymen's convention at Calgary recent ly. Last year's production^ of butter in the province, from 15 cream- cries reporting, had been 8,40C,000 pounds, an increase of over a million pounds over the previous year's production. The increase in cheese production was even more \"���������marked, 680,000 pounds having been produced in 1916 against* 18,000 pounds in 1906. In connection with this convention, a Calgary, newspaper takes the opportunity- of voicing-what western Canada, as\"evcry country \"of _ the world, owes to the Dane, the aristocrat of dairymen- wherever- he goes - \"For years,\", says 'the Morning Al- bertan, \"Denmark has monopolized the choicest markets of-Great Britain for high-grade butter. Cold storage facilities'have enabled Canada to compete with Denmark to some extent, but the-finer flavor, the superior quality and the better keeping properties of the standardized product of the highly organized ' industry of Denmark has always given the Danish butter preference. Once out of cold storage, the Canadian butter deteriorated. Canadians attempted the methods of pasteurization, in which the Danes were so successful, but they failed. They did succeed in making a better butter than they could make from raw cream, but it was characterized by a 'fishy' flavor, never to be \"forgotten on a sensitive palate. Montreal shipments became notorious with the trade for a 'twang.' \"For some years all the resources -of. the dairy division of the depart- n cnl ol agriculture have been devoted to experiments fo overcome'this. Every province has taken what steps it could in the matter. It remained for'the dairy commissioner of Alberta, Mr. C-. \"Marker, working in cooperation with the creameries and buttcmiakcrs\" of this young province, to overcome' all obstacles in the course of a single year. A few months ago a carload of Alberta butter went lo the old country and established the fact that henceforth Canadian butter can compete with all comers without a handicap. The notorious 'twang' is forever eliminated. In two-years Alberta has cap- lured her own market, the market of the coast, and lhe~markets of Toronto and Montreal with her butter of superior flavor and keeping qualities. \"The dairy commissioner began by introducing the most up-to-date scientific methods of grading ancl standardizing cream and butter in every creamery throughout the province, just as soon as the'dimensions of the industry warranted such regulation. ' After that he began a series of experiments, through the hut- As. a icrmakers in various creameries. To them he outlined the basic principles and directed the course to be~ pursued. Early in 1916, the perfect method was evolved. Since then Alberta creameries have manufactured 8,400,000 pounds \"of butter with the highest percentage of special grade ever produced in Canada. Alberta has become the peacemaker of the Dominion. The dairymen of AI-. berta have given a demonstration of successful co-operation which is in itself a wonderful thing and an augury for the future of this province. \"Such an achievement is an enviable pedestal for any public official. It crowns Mr. Marker's 16 and more years of patient effort in this office villi complete success. It is a gift of service lo empire, the patriotism of which cannot be measured. \"It is perhaps not out of place to note here one significant fact. Mi-. Marker; in the official service of Alberta and loyal to Canada, is by birth a Dane. Associated with him in his successful enterprise are a considerable number of his fellow-countrymen who are among the,most efficient dairymen and best citizens of this province.\" To the Danish-Canadian leadership of Mr. Marker, and the loyal and intelligent pcrservcr- ance of his compatriots, the Dominion of Canada owes one of \"the most Peasants are Saving Money and Rising in the World _ It is beyond question that the Russian peasant, who constitutes 80 per cent, of the population of Russia, has now in his hands an unprecedented amount of money, the,result of more o.mplo.ymcnt, much higher wages than were ever before paid, and a new habit of saving forced upon him by the culling off of his former cxpendilur.es of vodka, and by a shortage in the supply of things he wants for his farming and household operations. He is waiting for a chance to spend his savings for what he really wants, says a writer in \"Russia.\" Those savings aggregate hundreds of millions of dollars. Buying farm machinery is said to be the one great outlet for them. The writer continues. - c ' \"It should be considered that when a man has accumulated an unexpectedly large amount of money he is pretty certain to spend a large portion of it for things he has long wanted,-but lias been unable to get. The desires of the Russian peasant, taking, him en masse, arc mainly restricted to his farm and to his-home manufacturers, if he carries on any such. A better house, and, especially, better furniture, appeal to him; but like the farmer everywhere else in the world, his first interest is to get more money out of liis land. **��������� \"The importance of machinery in helping him to this result has been strongly brought home to ' him by a variety of agencies, not the least effective of these being the increased profits of such of his neighbors as have taken themselves out of the communal system of land holding and cultivation and have contrived to secure modern agricultural machinery. An example of the peasant's appreciation of modern equipment is provided by'the agricultural \"artels,\" or unions, which have multiplied in consequence of the farm labor shortage due to the recruiting of the armies These artels have largely resorted to the use of modern machinery, purchased usually by a group oi peasant farmers, who often rent the services of themselves and their machines to other farmers Uot members of the arlel. \"That this expectation of peasant expenditures for farm machines that will be very large in the aggregate is ���������ucll founded seems hardly open to contradiction.\" It has been found necessary to open in 'Russia, as rapidly as possible, some 5,000 new branches of the State Savings Bank. Also, parish banks, to be opened to the number of about 2,000, represent a new and simple type' of savings agency, for whiclr arrangements have been agreed upon\" between the ministry of finance and the holy synod. The archpricsls of the churches will superintend the operations of these latter banks, which will receive and pay out deposits, but will not undertake any other banking operations. What will be a great innovation in banking so far ss the bulk of the Russian population is concerned is the proposed introduction by the Stale Savings Bank of payments by check. This device, so familiar to us, is still'strange to most of Russia. There is no doubt that its wide introduction and use in that' country will do much to modernize and facilitate the conduct of business in its vast interior. It is proposed also, to introduce in F.ussia what is known as the money- box..systcm of savings, on the mode! of foreign institutions, particularly of the British government savings banks. In issuing these saving boxes to houses, the plan is to charge a security of $1.54 (3 rubles), which will be' credited as a deposit. The carrying out of this plan has been deferred thus far by lack of moneyboxes. Prevention of Coal Shortage Buy Your Coal in ,the Summer, and - ������tock Up for the Winter This winter we have had a coal \"famine\" and that suffering has accompanied the shortage of this necessity is-undcniable. The average citizen has a notoriously short memory, Armenia's Crown of Thorns of Zangwill's Poignant Pen-Picture the. Sufferings of a Race Israel Zangwill, the author, in a letter supporting the aims of the Arme- but now is the time to impress upon, nian and Syrian Relief Fund, says. him that, in many coses, the suffer iilg was due to lack cf foresight. In Canada many people buy in small quantities���������often only one ton. If, for any cause, 'there is a shortage of coal, improvident householders demand thai the coal dealers do the impossible, namely thai they supply fuel that is unobtainable. Whereas, had they purchased their coal in the summer or autumn, there would he ample supplies available. While some large consumers, such as manufacturers, cannot store a six months' 'supply, most householders can, with their present bins or with enlarged bins, store coal to meet their rec-uireinenls till March or April. \"Tn recent vears, we have had two 'coal \"famines,\" first in 1901-02, the ye,ar of the coal miners' strike, and, second, this year, when the scverilyr of the weather and the extraordinary prosperity in the United Stales caused an unprecedented congestion of freight. A survey.of conditions iu the United Slates demonstrates that in the future there will be more coal \"famines\" than in the past and that they will occur at shorter intervals, l-'or this there is only one remedy. Buy your coal in the summer. If you have not sufficient storage, enlarge your coal bin. Catastrophe to \"Heavenly\" Plates Thrift in Cooking Ill-Luck Attends the Making of a Celestial Map in India About ten years ago an Indian F.R. A.S., presented to the. late Nizam of Hyderabad two large telescopes, a gift which induced the Nizam to establish an observatory in his dominions, lavishly equipped with up-to- date instruments. His Highness also invited an English astronomer, Mr. R. Pocock, to lake charge of the observatory, and placed its resources at the disposal of the International Committee, which for some quarter of a century has been taking the great photographic map of the heavens which is to form the basis of the Astrographic Chart and Catalogue. Since the death of the founder of the Hyderabad Observatory in 1911, his successor, the present Nizam, has continued to take a deep interest in the work connected with the photographic map of the stars, and recently ordered a consignment of special plates for the purpose fron. England. * These plates, unfortunately, were on the Persia, whiclr was torpedoed and sunk in the Mediterranean. To icplacc them more plates were dispatched, and these were\" on the Maloja, which was also submarined on its way to India. Undeterred by this run of bad luck, the Nizam ordered a third batch, which have arrived quite safely, and the work on the Hyderabad section of the celestial map has again been resumeds- It is estimated, that, when finished, one copy of the complete map will cost at least $5,000 to produce. \"From more than one area of the war zone, from Belgium, from Gali- cia, from Turkish Armenia, the same story reaches us, the same dread saga of the wanderings of whole populations under the spur of massacre, rape, hunger.

Some Good Suggestions are Made by an Economy Expert There are many ways of saving money on food these days of need of thrift, but Miss Pearl MacDonald, a Pittsburg economy expert, has suggested a good one, in the making and eating of more soup. \"In the making of soups,\" she said, \"meats and bone can be used which are not used at all by American women.\" The tougher cuts of meat which arc' cheaper, she adds, contain'more fibre, more flavor and more nutrition than the tender and expensive steaks. This is one way of avoiding waste and making use of our resources. W high prices teach economy of that kind, they will be a blessing in disguise, through increasing individual resourcefulness and self-reliance. Food experts, while on the subject of old-fashioned economics, should not neglect the lowly pancake or the other numerous ways in which flour can be used, for flour, even though higher than in the days of seventy-five cent wheat, is still one of the cheapest and best of foods. It is the staff of life, as it always has been since the earliest times of recorded history.��������� Minneapolis Journal. \"Man is by far the most courageous animal God ever made, and compared with him lions are cowards.\" So the Prime Minister is reported to have said, after visiting the front.

Hens Pay -Experiments Prove That a Good Profit Can be Made A good hen can be raised for about ������1, she can be kept for one year after beginning to lay for about $1.25, her eggs for a year, estimating twelve dozen at 25 cents a dozen, will be worth $3 and the hen will be worth 50 cents when through laying at the end of her pullet year. This is a return of $1.25 on an investment of about 55 per cent., not counting labor or depreciation of plant. ������������������-. .. ' If we count 25 cents as the cost of caring for a hen one year and 10 per cent, for depreciation of plant there still, remains over 20 percent, net profit on the investment. These facts were brought out in a Missouri experiment where fifty- five White Leghorn pullets were kept for a year's laying, all the feed that was fed to the hens being weighed and the eggs being sold at market prices. The fifty-five hens produced twelve dozen eggs each, which were sold for $157.17. The cost of keeping the fifty-five hens one year was 866.27, reckoning feed prices at about average market rate in 1915. The lions were fed a well balanced ration and had the run of a yard 100 feet square. The price of eggs for the year averaged approximately 25 cen'.s a dozen. From the foregoing figures it will bo seen that where one has good hens to start with and handles them properly a net profit of considerably over $1 a .year each can be count xl on from a flock of that size. But the know how is just as im- poitant in handling hens for profitable returns as is the case with any other kind of complicated business.��������� Farm and Fireside. If Struggle Continues Shoe Supply Will Proy,e Quite Inadequate \"A barefooted Europe is not im- piobable if this war continues,\" said John F.

The shoes arc largely made in Italy, but with American machinery and American lcathcr,__and the quality of Ihc materials is the best we can \"ur- nish, but that quality is of course inferior lo that sold before the war. When manufactured by the hundred thousand these shoes cost the government about four dollars each. But the supply is. always behind lhe demand, since materials arrive very slowly from America. On one ship, the Palmcro, which was torpedoed in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain in early December, the material for nearly a half a million pairs of shoes was lost. \"The retail store trade in Italy is now obliged to pay nearly seven dollars wholesale for shoes that before the war cost three and a half, and it is probable that American shoes will be selling in Italy soon for ton and twelve dollars the pair.'

The girl felt as if the very soul had died within her, as if, with the boy wdiosc guardian she had constituted herself, all the interest the world had for her had disappeared. li she had dared, if she had not been afraid of causing more mischief, she would have asked permission to go back to Heath Hill. But it_ seemed to her that it would be wiser for her lo stay here, at the house where little Julius knew she lived, for her instinct told her that it would be to her he would have come if he had left Heath Hill of his own accord. This thought gave her a gleam of hope. The boy loved her, had never beeir so happy as when with her and had seemed to place her quite naturally in the position of his nearest and dearest friend. What more likely than that, if he got a chance, he should try to find his way back to her if he found himself unhappy at Heath Hill when she had left it? Julius was a high-spirited child, pnd the habit of travelling with his father had made him extraordinarily self-reliant for his age. ^ Poor Mabin, .therefore,-* tried lo comfort herself\" with the hope that the boy might find means of reaching the maisonette; and all the rest of the day, until il grew too dark lo sec, she sal at the window of the front room, looking out, hoping against hope to see the child come back to her. When evening came, and she had to draw down the blind and turn on the light, she went slowly to (he fire, r.nd crouching before it, gave herself up lo her distress. Time seemed to .have no meaning for her, and she did not know how long she had been there, when an odd sound, as of some one staggering up the steps to the door, made her spring lo her feet with a wild gleam of hope. She. ran out and opened the door the moment the bell was rung, but a cry of horror and surprise bun.1 from her lips when she found that the visitor was Ciprian himself. \"Miss Wrest is the boy there?\" he. said in a hoarse whisper as he staggered into the hall. She shook her head. \"No. I have seen nothing of him. I got the telegram and I answered. Come in, and tell me everything.\" But he had made a movement a's if to_ stagger clown the steps again. Mabin, who saw that lie was still wretchedly ill, thin and white and wasted, with\" the glare of fever in his eyes, made him come into the sitting-room and sit down. Her own grief subsided into the background at once in face of the man's illness, and of the sorrow which-, possessed him. . \"I thought,\" said he hoarsely, \"that the little beggar '.'might have come here, that there might be some hope. He was so fond of you. He could talk of nothing else.\" The tears were falling fast down Mabin's cheeks. - \"I ought never to have come away,\" she murmured brokenly. \"I ought to have stayed there���������iu spite of them.\" Ciprian sat up and shook his head. He was worn out, weary, ill, and the sight of him smote Mabin to The heart. ' \"Let me get you some wine,\" said she, as she sprang up and crossed the room to the sideboard where Mrs, 3* knew that he was in no fit slate to be wandering about London in the fog, which was thick outside, and she was resolved that, having once got him into her care, she would keep him until she was sure she could' let him go with safety to himself. (To Be Continued,!) The Torpedo Engine of Destruction the Invention of an Englishman When a German U-boat sends a torepdo on its mission of destruction it is' utilizing a weapon of British\" origin, since the modern locomotive torpedo was flic invention of Whitehead, a British engineer. It was in 1877, forty years ago, ..that the J Whitehead torpedo first came into I notice. Whitehead's original torpedo carried twenty-six pounds of gun- cotton and travelled eighteen knots. The. twenty-one-inch Whitehead torpedo now in use carries 330 pounds of gun-cotton and has a range of over six miles, at a speed of thirty knots. At a range of four miles its speed is about forty-five knots. The explosive is \"packed in the head of the torpedo, and is \"usually guncot- lon, although^ the Germans use what they call trinitrotoluene. The explosion is caused by a steel rod which projects a few inches beyond the head of the misslc. When this rod or striker comes in contact with any unyielding substance, such as a ship's side, it is pressed back againsl the detonation, and, woosh!

Madness Since Struggle Began Probably the average man is under the impression that war has a tendency to increase lunacy. It is indeed generally considered that anything so* destructive of life and propcrty-r-^so appaling in its nature, would have an exceedingly perturbing effect upon the human mind and cause innumerable cascsof mental derangement. Paradoxical, however, as it may seem, war has just an opposite result- According to the returns issued by the various asylum authorities since the war began, there has been a marked reduction in insanity. It might, of course, be suggested that this is due to the fact of so many men being drawn away from the distracting competition of the industrial world into the army, where life, if more precarious is more varied and interesting. This, no doubt, is a contributory cause. But recent returns show a reduction amongst women as well as mc/i. What, thcn,--are the general reasons adduced by the experts for this satisfactory state of things? Well, in times of peace they 'tell us that life is dreary ancl monotonous, and,'in order lo-vary their existence, people resort to forms of amusements which, instead of affording them genuine .recrqation . or 'gratification, only,-producc Ta'rrguidncss and ennui. When, however, a great war breaks out, it dispels the monotony of our lives, and gives us serious and practical things to consider. Hence, in stead of causing intellectual brca^ down, it rather generates new intel lectual energies. Minard's Liniment for Sale i where.

If so, their good intentions have after fifty yours arrived right in tho stoke hole. Instead of a well-balanced legislative body in which all industrial and professional interests are repre-* represented, we find a lopsided aggregation of party- heelers, professional men, lumbermen and wealthy manufacturers.

The member.*- aro appointed as a reward for services rondered to a political party or on account of their ability to contribute to campaign funds. The duties of of senator should be _as much judicial as legislative. We mean that their votes should always be impartial after weighing carefully tlio effects of legislation on the varied industries which they are expected to protect, ancl which should all be represented in order that the Questions could be fully discussed ancl intelligent conclusions arrived at. As now constituted tho Senate is partizan, Conservative and Liberal, with its government lender and its opposition leader. As a consequence the deliberations of the Senate are along party lines, excepting, possibly, were personal interests of senators are concerned.

The people have liberty without being sufficiently advanced intellectually to take advantage of it. It is possible that a Napoleon may be found to guide the people past the danger point in their blind groping for representative government and liberty; if not, anarchy and the dismemberment of the empire. If the war continues much longer, people will be estimating their neighbors in powder fodder values. Even the young, able-bodied parsons are not exempt from a war-value appraisement.

There was a time when the the people of this province almost believed that the practice of appointing members of the legislature on commissions would be abolished. Evidently that stage in our political evolution has not yet arrived. We were told that were the government of the province in the hands of economical and patriotic men the revenues would be devoted to public improvements and developing natural resources; we have not yet attained that degree of patriotism. It is possible that Mr. Brewster believed ho could carry out his pre-election promises. It is possible that tho intention of those who had in charge the framing of the Canadian Another provincial commission has been .started on its long journey at $20 a day and expenses. This time it is a booze commission, on its way to England to ascertain whether a wind-jamming slacker from Winnipeg or officers on the fighting line told the truth about the soldiers' vote on prohibition. One would think that the first care of the government would be to avoid gratuitous insult to the men at tlie front by appointing a commission to investigate their honor on the word of aa adventurer. Prohibition, we regret to say, was defeated, but it is not going to help a lost^ cause for the\"temperance people to endeavor to nullify by dishonor-ablejmethods the verdict of a majority of those voting. Tlie temperance people entered into an agreement with the Bowser govern- to settle the question by plebiscite. If the, majority of the electors voted in favor of it the Prohibition Act would go into effect July 1; if the majority was against prohibition, the question would not come up again for * four years. Every one supposed the agreement would be binding on both parties. The soldiers voted on women's suffrage and for members of the legislature. No one questioned the vote iu either case. It remained for the temperance loaders, composed principally of ministers of the gospel who should not be deficient in charity, to accuse the soldiers of wrong doing.

Socialist orator, which is about as crude a conception of government as could-possible emanate from the human mouth, leaving out of consideration any possibility of mental connection, Common Sense. No more amazing- thins has amazing k...^ happened in the war than that all bnt unanimous adoption by the United States Congress of the principle and practioe of military conscription. Conscription was believed to be a thing belonging to militaristic Europe. It was an old-world conception. In the new world of light and liborty it could have no part.
