Whose Food Shall Win The responsibility for saving food, so that the national total of eating shall be less, lies largely with the housewife. In fact, the immediate work ot helping the Allies by food servive falls to her. The growing of a larger supply for the Allies next year is more especially the Canadian man's work and preparations for it should not be delayed until spring. Sheer hard work in the home, and then in the field, is the only solution of the difficulties of those who are fighting uncomplainingly for us. "Food will win the war," Mr. Hoover has said.

P. B. team headed on with the Cigar Store Hockey team last Wednesday evening at the local arena. With the aid of the weather man the ice was in perfect condition, it was a little too fast for some, judging by the way they flew through the ozone only when they would light again it was on other parts than their skates. A good crowd was on hand and it was easily seen that the C. F, R's were the favorites. The players consisted of the local undeveloped aspirant of Canada's favorite pastime, although some of them proved themselves more than mere amateurs. J. V. Mills who was the referee handled the game in a most manager-like manner. From the face-off the players started of with'^a rnsh each one would send the puck sliding when it came in their direction. After the game was on for a time fehe play centered aronnd the C. P. R. terminal when the pink topped right wing of the Cigars netted one for hie team. Tbis made it look bad for fehe C. P. R's, but they never slowed up, and after the puck had made many excursions from one end fehe rink to the other, Hank Leonard made a brake-away and beat the Cigar Spooner. This pat the teams bn an even classification. The second period was even more burlesque. Any way "the 0. P. R's thought tbey would relieve the wires for a time so they put on Carleon in place of Bill Smith as cover point. This done the play resumed and it wasn't long before R Halcrow wrenched himself away and stillsoned a counter for his side. The C P. R's then got a moving and it wasn't long before Hank shunted one in and tied the score. This period the worst collision of the run occurred, Carlson was keeping the right-away cleared when he lit into the Cigars at K��nighb and put their speedy center out of the running for a time. So the second period ended a tie. The third period was even more on time with both teams tied the last half of the journey. The Cigars started tbis frame by making John Cropley retire to bis bench, while Fred Harris^fehe acrobatic marvel took to the smoke vendors. By this time Bill Smith had returned to the?[C. P. R'b. The time was nearly up all players were going fast, with the exception of Bill Kelson and Bill Smith, they wonld hardly pass center, and in tbis period they played safety first. McPherson would takeja^run down the fall length of the line but his passes would always be checked by the Ball;Dog^defence of White and MeG-illivray of the Cigars. Jack Ryan'aud 6. W.

The sessions have been entirely concerned with the winning of the war. The terms of peace^come afterwards. The results of the conference have been highly satisfactory. Not only has the allied war council been established for land operations, but a supreme inter-allied naval committee , of consultation also has been agreed upon. Naturally in this connection Great Britain's voice will be decisive seeing that.,her navy is the basis of the entire entente alliance. The entente powers are now ready to prosecute the war with a single- i ncss of purpose such as they have not previously known. They can control the British, French and Italian fronts as one war theatre ancl move troops and supplies accordingly. The resultant strengthening of their offensive and defensive power will be considerable. And opportune also. For lhe central powers, judging from their, savage blows against the Italians and on thc Cambrai front, are fighting more fiercely than they ever did in hope to secure a decision before the spring. With the million men or so they will secure ' through -Russia's defection, they hope to bring thc allies to tbe peace-table in a few months.

Patriotism and good business combine to make thc elfort commendable, lhe need for animal foods by the allied armies and civil populations is increasingly great; thc need for bacon and pork . products most of all, because-they contain thc largest quantity, weight for' weight, of the animal fats needed for thc soldiers. Uacon 'contains 2,930 calories as compared with 1,186 in the same weight of beef, and of only 670 in lean beef, Shrinkage, too, in ' a dressed product is only 25 per cent, of the live weight of hog-, meat, while in beef, veal,''mutton"and lamb it is 50 per cent.. Canada's hog'products In;'1916 totalled 125,000,000 pounds. The allies' requirements in the same year were 1,260,000,000 pounds. In-' blhe'r Words the allied markets alone could have taken ten times, :thc total ���Canadian supply. Yet it is"' not only during wai- time that thc market is great. The export from; Canada ;in: a five- year period winch naturally covers at least two years of peace, averaged only six per ccrit; of tin? British imports, of hog products. The demand during thc reconstruction- period after the war may be assumed to be at least as great as it now is during the conflict. '-" *. ������/'; If municipal by-laws are relaxed, as a war measure,., so. _as. to permit suburban dwellers tb "keep pigs near their dwellings, much might be accomplished. Mr. Hoover has stated that properly-kept pigs are no more insanitary than arc dogs. By "backward" methods alone last year, Germany was able to raise 500,000 more pigs than Canada possessed from coast to coast. If the imperative necessity of increased production of hogs is realized by the farmers .of this country, and by others wdio could help, there is'no doubt that the, problem, will be solved. But we'-c'amiot afford to delay, for. .the-demand-is very great and the situation-iu regard lo food is one of the utmost gravity. Adaptability of Ribs Wonders of Surgeons in M. H. C. Hospitals Due to Bone Grafting in Many Cases Is the rib thc stuff that miracles are made of? Given as the basis of the first in the world's history it is now recorded as the foundation for hundreds of modern wonders worked by surgeons in the operating rooms of the military convalescent hospitals where thc disabled soldiers arc "repaired" when they return to j Canada. In thc Orthopaedic hospital at North Toronto, the big centre for j amputation and surgical cases, scores ; of men havc arms or legs today by virtue of the adaptibility of ribs. 1 Bone grafting has enabled the surgeon to take men's ribs to replace shattered bones serving more important functions. A rib more or less matters little to the efficiency of the human mechanism as a rib, but for general ; patching purposes and adaptability it is invaluable to the surgeon who ' mends thc ravages of Boche shrapnel. Faces torn by gunshot wounds have been made whole through this agency. Jaws have been replaced, arms and legs which would otherwise havc been amputated have been saved, and many a man today carrying on in civil life owes his independence to a rib patch. Corporal White of thc 2nd Engineers now at the Orthopaedic hospital,' where his rib was used to patch a shattered forearm, is taking a course in vocational training in thc M.H.C. school which will make him independent. Hc is learning pattern making, a work which requires skill and a steady hand, and experiences no difficulty \n using his made-over arm. Another lad in thc M.H.C. dental clinic in Kinerston is being fitted with ncw teeth for a jaw which, lately was a rib. and any. number of boys' today who might have had a wooden leg arc walking on their own strong limbs because of the surgeon and the adaptable rib. .-German Artillery Losses Secret Report of Enemy General ��� ': Staff Found by French'Army - "The'London Pai'y Chronicle correspondent with"! tfif; .French armies states that a secret report issued October 4. by 'lhe chief of- the .German general staff and:' signed by Ludendorff himself, shows alarming losses iu' the German artillery.

A farm house, that is ineilicieiu as a home is likely to becime iii time a-hotbed of discontent, for at . lite end of the labors .and incidental discouragements of the day'.one needs a cheerful haven of refuge as a mental and physical rallying point-.; Good barns, well- lighted and ventilated, are necessary, but it is on the fanner and his family''' working from .daylight to' chirk ..that the success of lhe farm depends. The. ideal home, whether it be situated in the town or country, is the one that helps ns to forget our day's work, and .'is the, average person is susceptible.-to the influence' of environment,'- the lioiiic should be as free from, "shop" .as possible. In the. farm house, .'which is a sort of composite granary and blacksmith shop, littered with tools "and bits of.old.'harness,-the possibilities of complete forgetfulness of one's, work are not : easy; .-.While there is a -cheerful home on the farm the loyal support of the sons : and daughters-is likely to continue for a longer period than where bare, surroundings and lack of convenience exist. " 'llie well-balanced farm is the one where labor-saving devices are practised both iii the house and on the. farm and surely the work iii the farm house offers a broad field for. invention, in ' the way of facilitating labor. ���.''���;���. One of the best antidotes to mental and physical jadedncss is the diversion offered by the perusal of an interesting hook. A useful bookcase can he made of board half. an inch thick.-by six inches broad,, two pieces for ends arid four shelves, and a coat, of dak stain will give it a complete finish. In this bookcase can be kept the various bulletins to be obiaimd free from the government' mid also any books on the various lines- of i farming which may1 appeal. A f.-v.- I good works written by some of the popular writers of fiction will help to refresh the farm workers at tin i end of the evening chores. The great ; advantage of a bookcase is that it becomes a common centre for refer- _ e'nee and should" put a stop to the ���promiscuous scattering of literature i of all ki'ids that becomes customnry where'books, arc practically homeless and without any headquarters.'

But that he is I a sage has been proved by hard tests j during his previous prime ministership (1906-1909) both as regards ex- ternal and internal matters. From his medical training he has I retained the surgeon's gift. Some call him a destroyer, and he is in the same sense as the surgeon who quickly cuts out disease instead of nursing it. He is an outspoken hat-, cr of all humbug and has thc faculty j of effective impatience in dealing ! with it. Maurice Leon writes in the ���-American Review of Reviews. In word he is like lightning and so he is in act. He typifies as much as any man, and more than any other public man, France's will to win; he is thc very embodiment of will power in action. It is true that Clemenceau has a host of enemies. All the time servers and compromisers, all those inclined to put selfish or sordid considerations above patriotism, and many whose weaknesses and incapacities he has denounced in the course of a long career, are against him. But the country is with him. Added to the endowments which have already been described as his sympathetic understanding of Great Britain and the United States. We in this country have special reasons for satisfaction in thc fact that the ncw French premier knows us from thc inside, having spent three years in our midst in days gone by. His knowledge of our language, of our ideas and ideals, his friendships among British statesmen and his strength as a human dynamo, his indomitable courage constitute a quick asset of incalculable value on which his country and her allies are about to realize. His success will make it difficult for any country to keep her strong man on the shelf at this time. There is only one such country left in the group of free nations. There is no more effective vermifuge on the market than Miller's Worm Powders. They will not only clear thc stomach and bowels ofj worms, but will prove a very ser-: viceablc medicine for children in regulating the infantile system and maintaining it in a healthy condition. There is nothing in their composition that will injure the most delicate stomach when directions are followed, and they can be given to children in the full assurance that they will utterly destroy all worms. War Service Badges Ready Four Classes Distinguished and Applications Should Be Made at Once The militia department advises that war service badges are now ! ready for issue and recommends | that applications be sent in through district headquarters without delay. A different badge is issued for each of the four classes, which arc as fol'ows: ' ...

Class D���For-men who offered to j enlist prior to August, 10, 1917,'' and were rejected as and still are 'medically unfit and for nioiitn rs of the C.E.F. honorably retired or dis-, charged who are not entitled to any other badge, provided that thoy are medically unfit. With reference to the first -three classes the militia department announces that no men are eligible for the badges who have been discharged within three months of enlistment, unless for 'disabi'ities caused, by service, -discharged by reason of-.';stoppage.-of. working pay, or discharged its unlikely to become efficient soldiers, unless for disabilities caused by service. All men applying for'NjClass D badges must undergo a further medical examination.

Gardening in Central Alberta First Germany Must Be Beaten In Order to Obtain the Sort of Peace That Would Be Worth While What will be thc effect of Lord Lansdowne's letter in Germany? Simply to give thc military party, which is in complete control au opportunity to claim that Britain is worn out with thc war and ready to quit. And any quitting now would be a German victory. Every utterance of importance from Germany shows that the party tbat brought on the war as a war of conquest is determined to end it on that basis only. The defeat of Germany is the first requisite to obtaining the sort of peace that would be worth the terrible sacrifices that have been exacted from the nations by the wicked men who determined on a world dominion to be won by violence. There is not the slightest reason to suppose that this is not the feeling in England. _ Lansdowne no more speaks for Britain than La- Follctte or Gore speak for the United States. Every nation has its faint hearts. They are not the men, who control.���Kansas City Star. Marvelously Fertile Soil Produces Big Returns .That Central Alberta probably produces better vegetables and more to the acre, grown under natural conditions than any other section of the continent, is a statement made by the Edmonton board of trade in an attractively illustrated pamphlet which they have just issued on thc Edmonton district of Central Alberta. Nowhere, from the Atlantic to the Pacific can be seen such cabbages, cauliflowers, beets, carrots, peas, beans, parsnips, celery, etc. , as are commonly, to be seen growing in the gardens of many sections of the district, receiving comparatively little attention and without any effort to assist nature in the way of artificial watering or fertilizing. The marvelously fertile soil with thc ample rainfall and moderate warmth without scorching heat accomplish more than thc arts known to the eastern market gardener. Potatoes arc an exceptionally safe crop in Central Alberta and failure of_this crop has never been known. With reasonable care in the way of cultivation a yield of anywhere from 300 to 500 bushels to the acre may safely be counted on. Indeed much higher yields arc often secured, as for instance, in a field close to Edmonton the owner reports to have obtained 1,486 bushels from a measured two acres. They grow to large size, and are of fine, clean, smooth appearance, and of good boiling qualities, A Prime Dressing for Wounds.��� In some factories and workshops carbolic acid is kept for usc in cauterizing wounds and cuts sustained by the workmen. Far better to keep on hand a bottle of Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil. It is just as quick in action and does not scar the skin or burn thc flesh. There is no other Oil that has its curative qualities.

Music During- Air Raids The Spirit in Britain That Will Not Down To the folk of London town air raids have ceased to bc a novelty. Londoners are meeting the trying circumstances wilh fortitude. During the raids music is frequently called into commmission to enable the people to keep cool, be cheery and stand the strain. One evening it is related that when the raid was on, a street organ in a sheltered corner of a busy thoroughfare ground out Leslie Stuart's "Soldiers of the King" with an air of defiance that is typical of the British spirit. In the days of the South African war that same number which was then "Soldiers of the Queen," nerved many a heart. A little later the same evening there was heard in a home some voices accompanied by a piano singing the old livmn "Hold the Fort." These represent the spirit that will not down.

It is not so satisfactory as oals when fed alone, since it is a heavier feed and. is more apt to cause digestive troubles. However, it. is extensively used ia many sections of the Old World and in Western' States, with satisfactory results. The effect of barley is to produce more heat and fat and less growth than oats, consequently it is better adapted to work and mature breeding horses than to growing colts. Barley gives best results' when roiled and mixed with other concentrates such as oats or v.-hi'at bran. AVh."at'bran'is high in bone and muscle-building material, is light, and tends to keep the digestive tract in good condition.. If fed in l:\rge amounts it is too laxative.'"

Firms Control Canadian Fisheries Dominate Lake Fisheries Because Chief Market Has Been in U.S. The greater portion of the Canadian lake fishing business is controlled by United States firms, and this is due to the fact that more than 90 per cent, of the total output finds its market in the United States. On our Great Lakes, a very large fishing industry is carried on, not only during the summer and autumn months but also in mid-winter, when thc fish arc taken through the icc,- and, owing to climatic conditions, can be transported long distances, without requiring expensive methods of refrigeration. They are frozen naturally as^soon as taken from thc water and are shipped to various centres in the United States especially in the Western states, although there is a growing demand for Canadian lake fish in Eastern markets also.��� From 'Fish, Birds and Game,' published by the Commission of Conservation.

I've seen night raids now.-for the last year or two, and, against all types, from Prussians to Saxons, but I never knew anyone to hesitate taking part in them. In fact, there used to be a sort of regimental rivalry as to who would excel in them. Now, I don't think there's anything of that sort on thc German side. My idea is that there's a rgimcntal rivalry there to get out of them. At.any rate, as 1 say, they always give in pretty readily when they find themselves up against it, and even seern glad to be out of the business with a whole skin ���if they're lucky enough."

EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL1 Would You Miss Your Telephone Do you fully realize what continuous telephone service is? Despite the weather, accidents, or anything that may cause interruptions, it is seldou your telephone fails to respond to your need. That your service is continuous is the result of much work behind the scenes, efforts that you never see and seldom hear about. Nothing can lake the place of the telephone, and it is so much a part of every day life, that it would never do not to have it ready at all times. Think what it would mean if there was no telephone service!
