BIG DAILY OUTPUT 0F GERMAN SHELLS Tremendous Output of Ammunition is Pointed Out by David Lloyd George. That the Teutonic allies are turning out 250,000 shells a day was one of the startling statements made by David Lloyd George in his great speech in the British House of Com- mons a few days ago in moving the adoption of the munitions of war sup- ply bill. The Minister of Munitions said in part: VERY NEARLY EIGHT MILLION PER MONTH. “We have an undoubted superiority in menâ€"(cheers)~in numbersâ€"and I am assured by all those who have been at the front that it is not mere- ly a superiority in numbers, but in the quality of menâ€"(cheers)â€"and, therefore, it is purely a question of equipping them with the necessary amount of material to support their' valor in the attacks which they makel on the lines of the enemy. I heard: the other day on very good authority â€"â€"and this will give the House an idea of the tremendous preparations made by the enemy for this war, and of the. expansion which has taken place ever since the warâ€"that the central Euro- pean powers are turning out 250,000 shells per day. “That is very nearly eight million shells per month. The problem of victory for us is how to equal, how to surpass, that tremendous production. (Hear, hear.) The problem of speedy victory is the accomplishment of that aim with the least possible waste of time. (Cheers) Any obstacle, any mismanagement, any slackness and indiscipline, any prejudice which pre- vent or delay mobilization of all our resources at the earliest possible mo- ment postpone victory. The question which in the Ministry of Munitions we have set ourselves to achieve is: Can we achieve that purpose? I say that we can accomplish that object of not merely equalling the German and Austrian output of munitions, but if we are in earnest we can surpass it. (Cheers) The central European powers have probably attained something like the limits of their posâ€" sible output. We have only just Eight Million Shells a Month. But it must be pure and made in a sanitary plant, such as the City Dairy. We ship thousands of Ice Cream Bricks for consumption in the home and thousands of gallons of Bulk Ice Cream for con- sumption in the shops of discriminating dealers everywhere in Ontario.

She has done it in two ways. She accumu- lated great stores before the war. She has mobilized the whole of her inâ€" dustries after the war, having no doubt taken steps before the war to be ready for the mobilization of the workshops immediately after the war was declared. Her preponderance in two or three directions is very not- able. I mention this because it is es- sential they should be understood in inviting the assistance of the com- munity to enable us to compete with this formidable enemy. The superior- ity bf the Germans in material was most marked in their heavy guns, their high explosive shells, their rifles, and perhaps most of all their machine guns. These have turned out to be about the most formidable weapons in the war. They have almost superseded the rifle and rendered it unnecessary. crossed the threshold of our possibili- ties. Germany's Preparedness. “The problem of victory is a prob- lem of mobilizing our resources for the purpose of increasing the material of war. What was the condition of things with which we were confronted at the beginning of war? Germany had been preparing for years. (Hear, hear.) She had been preparing in a direction which we hardly suspected. We naturally were anxious lest she was making great secret preparations to strengthen her navy and to de‘ velop a sudden surprise attack upon us. I think on the whole there was nothing that she has done for her navy that we had not anticipat- ed. There was nothing she had done for her navy that we were not prepared against. There has been no surprise in the turning out of any expedients of war which had not been foreseen so far as the navy was con- cerned. The strength developed by the submarines has been surprising; but the number and the fact that they possessed them was no surprise. That was not he case with her armies. I ventured to call attention in 1913 to the fact that in my judgment Ger- many was concentrating upon deveL oping the strength of her armies and not of her navy, and I got rather a bad time. What was the fact? Ger- many had undoubtedly been prepar- ing. She had been piling up mater- ial until she was ready. She was on the best of terms with everybody?"

Look for of the which served in the Hard Study and Too Little Exercise Leads to St. Vitus Dance. There is much criticism of modern educational methods that require too much work of school children, allow- ing them too little time for play and| preventing sufficient out-of-door exer-! cise. When the study of music or any‘ other accomplishment, with the neces-l sary practice, is added the strain is! increased. Under these conditions the! blood becomes impoverished and fails1 to nourish the nerves. The child be-' comes restless, and twitching of the muscles follow. Sometimes the child stumbles in walking and drops what it tries to hold. Pallor, listlessness and irritability are symptoms that early show that the blood and nerves are failing to meet the demands made upon them, and that St. Vitus dance has fastened its hold upon the childc In this condition there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which build up the blood, strengthen the nerves and safely help to meet the demands of the growing child. Out- ofâ€"door exercise, nourishing food, plenty of sleep with these tonic pills will cure even the most severe cases of St. Vitus dance. We offer the fol- lowing proof: “Up to the age of ten years," says Mrs. Johnson, of Hem- ford, N.S., “my son Calvin was as healthy and rugged as any child could be. Then he began to complain that his eyes hurt him, and of pains in the head, and began to fall back in his studies at school. Then I noticed a twitching of the muscles of his face and arms. and later his whole body seemed to be in constant motion. Our family physician was called in and pronounced the trouble 9. severe at- tack of St. Vitus dance. He was un- der the doctor’s treatment for some three months, but did not seem to im- prove. We had taken him from school, and were careful that nothing should excite him, but notwithstand- ing he grew worse, and the least start would bring on attacks of hysteria. ‘This went on for some months until Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were brought to my attentionfand we decided to give him this medicine. After using a few boxes there was a noticeable improvement, and by the time he had taken nine or ten boxes he had recov- ered his former good health. There has been no sign of a return of the trouble, and I can scarcely say how thankful we feel for the complete restoration 0 four son’s health.” Parents who find their growing boys or girls becoming nervous should lose no time in giving them Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. You may ward off an attack of St. Vitus dance, or if the trouble has reached that stage the Pills will effect a cure.

NERVOUS CHILDREN On the eve of the battle of the Marne the French ofl‘icers gathered their men about the bivouacs, and in the summer night, broken by the roar of cannon, read to them the proclam- ation issued by Jolfre. It thrilled every one with the thought that the fate of France lay in their hands. “Advance,” read the order, “and when you can no longer advance, hold at all costs what you have gained. If you can no longer hold, die on the spot." An official song-book is issued by the Lords of the Admiralty for the use of bluejackets.

Drain well and put in a bowl. Make a good salad dressing of half a cup- ful of cream. Add a tablespoonful of sugar and one teaspoonful of salt. If you like a sour flavor, put in a tea- spoonful of vinegar. Rice Croquettes with Cheese Sauce. â€"â€"Boil a cupful of rice in two and a half cupfuls of milk. If not tender, add more milk.

Cook in boil- ing salted water until tender. Serve with cream sauce or toss the carrots in the following mixture: For two cupfuls of the cut carrots take one tablespoonful of sugar, lemon juice, a little salt and pepper. Pour into a saucepan and shake till the mixture is absorbed. Carrots and peas served together are appetizing. Browned Chicken in Cream Gravy. â€"This is an excellent Way to cook an old fowl. Clean and disjoint a two~year-old hen, and put to cook in a kettle containing at first only one pint of boiling water. Let simmer at least three hours over the low burner or on the back of the range, .watch- ing rather closely. As the water boils away, add more, but only enough to keep the chicken from browning. When half done season with one tea- spoonful of salt and one-fourth tea- spoonful of pepper. Half an hour be- fore dinner bring‘ to greater heat and brown on all sides, sprinkling with flour lightly as it browns. Just be- fore serving add one teacupful of cream and let boil up once.

Stufl'ed Tomatoes in Aspic.â€"â€"Have as many peeled and chilled small per- fect tomatoes as desired. Chop cu- cumbers and radish, add mayonnaise, and stuff tomatoes with mixture. Partly fill small custard molds with aspic. Lay in a stuffed tomato, top side down. Finish filling with nspic, and set away on individual lettuce leaves. and garnish with star of may- onnaise. Grape Sherbet.â€"One tablespoon of granulated gelatin, one pint of grape juice, one pint of water, one cup of sugar, two lemons, one orange. Soak gelatin in half a cup of cold water. Boil sugar and water to syrup and add dissolved gelatin. When partly cooled add juice of lemons, orange and grape juice. Freeze and serve in sherbet cups with mint leaf garnish. Summer bed spreads should be made of material that is easily wash- ed. There is nothing prettier than the inexpensive dimity. If peas are a trifle old, try boiling them with a lettuce leaf and a table- spoonful of sugar in the water. Tin is an undesirable material for a coffee pot. Tannic acid acts on such metal and is apt to form a poi- sonous compound. To iron raised lace, place it be‘ tween blankets. Or do not iron it at all. If not ironed it should be stretched, while wet, with a pin at each point. A very satisfactory way to mend shirts that are worn around the col- lar band is to sew a narrow yoke to fit the neck and to come just below the worn place. If the fire is running low and a quick oven is needed, try opening the oven door, filling it with cool fresh air. Then close the oven door, and it will heat much more quickly. To remove water spots from a dress dampen it in lukewarm water. Place a piece of cloth over water spots on right side and press until both pieces of material are dry. When making baked or boiled cus- tard, the milk to be used should be scalded and set aside to cool. Then make the custard in the ordinary way, and it will be perfectly smooth. To fry bacon so as to have it straight, light brown and crisp, invert a perforated pie tin over a larger pie tin, lay slices of bacon smoothly over the perforated tin and place in oven. An even brown color is obtained as the grease trickles into the plate be- low. This method prevents any spat- tering of the stove. The bacon is evenly cooked and the grease is per- fectly clear for frying eggs. This method is a great advantage when one uses oil or gasoline, especially as the cooking of the bacon can be com- bined with the baking of muffins or other things. Zinc is often the hardest thing in the house to clean, especially under kitchen stoves, where it becomes bad- ly discolored. One of the simplest and surest methods is to dry thor- oughly the zinc and then go over it with kerosene oil. which must be al- lowed to stand over night. In the morning this should be wiped with a soft cloth, and more kerosene applied. The oil eats out all the grease and dirt which adheres to the zinc and makes it white and spotless. Zinc- lined sinks or bathtubs can be treat- ed the same way, but must be thor- oughly dried afterward. \lllll I.“ Household Hints.
