SUMMER CoMpLAlNVTS l OI” ORbNrA‘SCE - KILL LITTLE ONES _. At the first sign of illness during the hot weather‘give the little ones Baby’s Own Tablets, or in a few. hours he may be beyond cure. These Tablets will prevent summer com- plaints if given occasionally to the well child and will promptly cure these troubles if they come on sud- denly. Baby's Own Tablets should; always be kept in every home where, there are young children. There is no other medicine as good and the mother has the .guarantee of a gov- ernment analyst that they are abso- lutely safe. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25‘ cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. J4 PIE outrun; (By Peter McArthur.) An article published some days ago in which I mentioned the fact that the ' cherry pie was at one time considered the supreme test of a housewife, or rather, the test by which it might be discovered whether a girl was com- petent to be a housewife, has brought me a good story from Dr. Hugh Mac- Callum, of London. According to him the cherry pie plays a much wider part than I suggested in the life of the New England States. He says: “At a medical banquet which I once attended our great Dr. Osler, of Oxford, stated that Dr. Weir Mitchell, of Philadelphia, had once put his cul- ture to the final test. Dr. Mitchell, who was present, nodded gravely. “ ‘He gave me a piece of cherry pie to eat and watched me while I ate it.’ “Once more Dr. Mitchell nodded. “ ‘And,’ continued Dr. Osler, ‘I ate it to his entire satisfaction.’ “Dr. Mitchell applauded enthusiastiâ€" cally.” Naturally the assembled medical men wanted to find out how a cherry pie should be eaten for the test was one that any of them might be obliged to face at any time. “All we could learn,” said Dr. Mac- Callum, “was that he ate it with a spoon and that he rejected the pits.” This information contains the possi- bilities of much further discussion. It will be news to the eaters of factory made pies and even to housekeepers who are making their own cherry pies during this cherry season, that the cherries should always be used with their pits. Also the writers of books of deportment must record the fact that in the case of the cherry pie the fork must give place to the spoon. But the most important fact is that no matter how a cherry pie is eaten it is the best pie that is made. ‘1‘ EMBRACE 0N BATTLEFIELD A moving incident is related by an Italian soldier in a letter home. He Writes:â€" “The other day, before the mornâ€" ing mists had cleared, one of our pat- rolls found themselves opposite a trench containing about 20 Austrians. Our men, eight in number, charged with the bayonet, and taking the en- emy unaware, put them to flight. “Six were taken prisoners, and anâ€" other tried to hide. One of our men saw him, and gave chase. The Aus- trian fired at his pursuer, who fired back. “At last the Italian came up with the fugitive and sprang on him to take him prisoner. They pitched into one another for some minutes, and then the Austrian surrendered. The two men looked at one an- other, and suddenly rushed into one, another’s arms again, and kissed each other like long-lost brothers. It turned out they were brothersâ€"in- law from the frontier district. The, Austrian had married the Italian’s sister. They wore horrified whenb they found they had been shooting: at one another, but delighted that neither had been sucessful. _ .‘ o CHANGE THE VIBRATION It Makes for Health. ‘ ' A man tried leaving off meat, po- tatoes, coffee, etc., and adopted a‘. breakfast of fruit, Grape~Nuts \Vltl’ll cream, some crisp toast and a cup of, Postum. l His health began to improve at' once for the reason that a meat eater: will reach a place once in a while, where his system seems to become,; clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind puts aside' food that is slow to digest and takes up food and drink of the highest. value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of Gl‘ape-' Nuts is the natural mineral elements, (phosphate of potash, etc.,) grown in; the grains from which it is made. These elements are absolutely ne- cessary for the wellâ€"balanced re-‘ building of body, brain and nerves. A few days’ use of Grape-Nuts will show one a way to physical and, mental strength well Worth the trial.; Look in pkgs. for the little book? “The Road to Wellville." Reason.” ’ment. British Officer in Charge of Ordn- ance Dept. Has Cousin in the German Army. Canadians have been amazed to learn since the war began the great( number of Germans and people of Gernian descent who have succeeded ‘in getting into high places in the old land. Many of them are doubtless loyal to the Union Jack, but it was not long after the war started, before the British public began to insist that people bearing German names had to get out of public positions, whether proven guilty of disloyalty or not. Better be sure than sorry. Prince Louis of Battenburg, who was First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, was the first to go. Sir Edgar Speyer, a Privy Councillor, was another for whom things became so hot that he had to leave for the States. Lord Haldane was forced to retire from the Cabinet because he had been a great admirer of Germany, which he declared was his “spiritual home." I. T. Lincoln was the Anglicized name of an Aus- trian who became a member of Par- liament, and then betrayed his trust, flying to America a short time ago to avoid arrest. And the list might be greatly extended. The other day a despatch read that Lloyd George had determined that General Sir Stanley Von Donop, mas- ter-general of ordnance, had to go. This was accompanied by the rather startling statement that Kitchener General Sir Stanley von Donop. and Von Donop were great friends, and that the latter’s retirement would involve the former’s. Who is this man with the German name at whose door has been placed the blame for the British army’s scandalous defici- ency in shells, ammunition, and guns? Sir Stanley has the misfortune to belong to an old German family. One of its most conspicuous members is Stanley’s cousin, the Prussian gener- al, Hans von Donop, for several years grand master of the household to the Kaiser’s brotherâ€"inâ€"law, Prince Fred- erick Leopold of Prussia, inspectorâ€" general of the cavalry of the Ger- man army. General Hans von Don- op, since the beginning of the present war, has been commanding a division of German cavalry in France. General Sir Stanley von Donop is a son of the late Vice-Admiral von Donop of the British navy, is a bro- ‘ther of Lieut.-Col. Pelham von Don- op, chief Government inspector of} railroads, and joined the Royal Ar- tillery ‘25 years ago, the only active' service which he has seen having been in the Boer war. Before be- coming master~gencral of the ordâ€" nance he was for several years di- rector of artillery at the War Departâ€" .0 Restrained Applause. r A noted humorous lecturer, who‘ was invited to deliver an address to? an audience of convicts in a Western penitentiary, noticed that the audi-g tors laughed heartily, but did not ap-l‘ plaud. After the lecture the warden of thev institution ventured an apology. “They didn't seem very apprecia-‘ tive, did they?” he asked. “I thought they seemed to enjoy1 it very much," the lecturer replied. “But they might have clapped a , day. little,” the warden remarked, “instead of just sitting there with their hands' folded.” * “Well, well!" the lecturer laughed.i “I noticed that they sat with their1 hands folded, but I thought they, were all manacled.” 1 Getting Back. “My cook left this morning merely because I asked her to get dinner for a few friends of mine." “I hired her, my dear, and I don't mind giving you a chance to get back at her.

A model dairy farm for the pur- poses of demonstrating rotation and the value of alfalfa and corn for enâ€" silagc will be one of the features of the Ontario Government dairy ex- hibit at the National Exhibition, T0â€" ronto. Mr. Geo. A. Putnam plans to locate the model farm in the south- west wing of the building and nearby will be another innovation, an exhibit showing the value of concentrated foods. He expects to have an unusually large and representative showing of Ontario dairy products and intends making the exhibit as practical and instructive as possible. In this work he will have the assistance of several Government officials, who will be en- gaged in making a number of demon- strations, including the sediment test, cow testing, care and testing of milk and cream. The Niagara Fall of milk will again be a feature, the flow showing the production of milk in the Province, and the proportions into which the total is divided for cheese and but- ter-making, city consumption, etc. It has again been decided to dis- tribute samples of Cheddar cheese and to demonstrate in a practical way the relative food value of dairy proâ€" ducts. . V The great success of the Quebec contingent in the butter section a year ago has stimulated the spirit of emulation among the people of the adjoining province and this year there has been a large increase in the num- ber of requests for entry forms from the dairy schools all over Quebec. '1‘ Did a Marathon. “So papa jumped from his chair when you asked him for my hand. And what did he say ‘2” - “I’m not sure he said anything.” “Not sure? Didn’t you hear any- thing?" “No; but perhaps I was travelling faster than the sound of his voice." Medals and decorations are not considered in the estate of a deceas- ed soldier, as ‘far as regards the claims of creditors. This is to certify that fourteen years ago I got the cords left wrist nearly severed, and was for about nine months that I had no use of my hand, and tried other Liniments, also doctors, and was receiving no benefit. By a persua- sion from a friend I got MINARD’S LINIMENT and used one bottle which completely cured me, and have been using MINARD’S LINIMENT in my ‘ family ever since and find it the same as when I first used it, and would never be without it. ISAAC E. MANN. \Nhy Cows Give More Milk. Cattle used to be bred chiefly for work. Therefore the cows did not give much milk. thing for which they are selected. In 1790 the work cows of Germany gave an average of a pint and a half 'a day. Interest in milk increased, and by 1800 the average yield was a quart and a half. Breeding went on milk- ward, and in 1810 the German cows averaged two quarts of milk each per In 1820 three, in 1830 fourâ€"â€" and there the gain stopped for thirty years. But in 1860 the production had increased to six quarts, and by 1870 to eight. ISSUE 31â€"‘15. ED. 7. Hamilton's Pills. l Harvesting the Crop. According to C. P. R. advices there is likely to be a shortage of farm la- bor in the west in the fall. There are already over 100,000 of our Can- adian young men under arms, and the war may demand more. Immi- Vgration is, of course, at a standstill. lIt will be impossible to get men from the cast, where men are scarce, and in van: case the west does not want men lwho, after the harvest, would be a burden on the people. The question is, where will the men come from? The press is advising the farmers to hire mcn now and to hire them for a year in advance. There is, indeed, talk of a famine of un- skilled labor in the fall. Many thou- sands of men, not merely from Can- ada, but the States, have left for Europe, since the war started. Where will the men come from, and particuâ€" larly Tn view of the added acreage, which will mean more labor, as there is fully 30 per cent. of increase under cultivation? The States expects the largest crop in its history; and ex- perts in the west insist that our crop, if the favorable conditions are mainâ€"‘ tained, will be the largest that We. have produced. It is now the ques- tion of labor that is agitating the minds of the farmers. Several towns and municipalities have suspended, their programme of public work in order that all the laborers possible} should be on the land for the harvest.

Some of the finest grindstones in the world come from the bottom of the Bay of Fundy. T-he stonecutters there have a simple method of mov- ing them to the shore. Workmen quarry the stone from the solid rock when the tide is out, and fasten them to a large flatâ€"bottomed boat. The tides in the Bay of Fundy are the highest in the world, they rise from fifty to seventy feet, and rush in with great swiftness. The tide lifts the flatboat with the stones at- tached; the workmen bring the boat of my. Breeds improve the ashore and remove the stones at their leisure when the tide is out. ’I‘ The Substitute for Vodka. Elimination of vodka from Russia has evidently started that immense nation teaâ€"drinking. In February last the New York “Journal of Com- merce” stated that the quotationsl were SC to 10c a pound higher than they were a year previously, and that the Russians were buying all the India-Ceylons available. The price has been advancing ever since. . .0 Convicted. First Lawyer â€"â€" Did his speech carry conviction? ‘ Second Lawyerâ€"It did! His client got five years. minard‘s Linlment Cures Distemper.
