RIF/W, C.B., assistant secreâ€" tary to the British Board of Agriâ€" culture, has issued in the agricul- tural statistics of the Board of Agâ€" riculture & report respecting food supplies. Nothing perhaps will more surâ€" prise the average Englishman than this report. The man in the street is convinced that the great mass of the nation’s food i(\ imported. It is a perfectly common estimate to hear the home-grown quantity put down at oneâ€"fifth. Mr. Rew’s reâ€" port shows that, in reality, it is upâ€" wards of oneâ€"half and that, in valâ€" ue, the home-grown produce is no less than £14,000,000 more than the value of the imports. This is a, re- velation which will cause considerâ€" able enlightenment to the ordinary man in connectionwith the question ofrfood imports in war time. The chief sources of wheat im- ports will also be a matter of sur- prise to many people. It is popu- larly imagined that Canada sup- pliers the bulk of the imported grain and that the United States is a close second While next to none is grown at home. As a matter of fact, the greatest individual supply is the homeâ€"grown crop and after this comes India, with Canada. third and Australia and Argentina not very far behind.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about these figures is that the homeâ€"grown supply has risen slightly on an average for the last septennial period and that While there has been a small increase in the Canadian imports and a large increase in the Indian and Australâ€" ian imports, there has been a cor- respondingly large decrease in the imports of the United States, the actual figure-s being as follows: MOTHERS RECOMMEND BABY’S OWN TABLETS Mother-s having once used Baby’s Own Tablets for their little ones will always be found using them as long as there is a baby in the home.

Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills give weak sto- machs just the strength they need by enriching the blood supply, thus giving tone and strength to the stomach and its nerves, and enab- ling it to do the work nature in- tended it to do. Thousands of cases of indigestion have been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, of which the following is but one instance. Miss L. A. Brown, Port Albert, Ont., says: “For a number of years I was a terrible sufferer from indigestion, and as a result I became completely run down, and suffered from backaches and nervâ€" ous troubles'as well. I had to force myself to eat, but never enjoyed a. meal owing to the awful pains that followed eating. Life was becom- ing a burden, and as medicine after medicine fail-ed to help me I felt I was doomed to go through life a constant sufferer. Finally 3. mar- ried sister strongly urged me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I have reason to be thankful that I followed her advice, as they have fully restored my health, and I can now enjoy all kinds of food withâ€" out the least discomfort, and my friends say I am looking better than I have done for years. At all events I know I feel like a new per- son, so shall always praise Dr. nilâ€" liams’ Pink Pills. ” Word had been received by the inspector of the electric light sys- tem that; an overhead Wirehwd fal- len down in a. crowded street.

Going up to the nearest man, who happened to be an Irishman, he admonished him severely in grave tones. “You took a. great risk,” said the inspector. “You had no right to touch that wire. Why, man, do you know will might have been killed outright by the shock ’I” L“Ah,” said he, “Iâ€"wa;s mighty careful, sorr!

The more pretentious apartment houses in Vienna have a, curious im- post levied upon them. The doors are closed at 10 o’clock at night, and after that hour every one who goes or comes must pay 20 cents un- til midnight and 40 cents thereâ€" after, until 6 o’clock in the morn- ing. The impost must be paid as many times as a, man enters or leaves a. house. If, for instance, a person is in the house of a, friend until 1 o’clock he must pay 40 cents on leaving the friend’s house and another 40 cents on entering his own. The money thus raised is de- voted to protecting citizens against burglars. Dr. Alexis Carrel], Who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine, may well be called a wizard of the medical world. In his laboratory in the Rockefeller In- stitute for Medical Research he has accomplished wonders with animal life that are analogous to the won- ders performed by Luther Burbank in the field of botany. It is said that Dr. Carrel] has taken the heart out of a dog, put dog and heart in cold storage for a week, and then restored the dog to life. He is fa,- moue in every part of the world as a surgeon.
