A thrillingly interesting man is Colonel Dennis. He is the most ver- satile individual I have ever met. If Captain Kenney is credited with be. ing a bit of a bearcat on the science of recruiting. But he was immensely impressed with the policies and ideas expressed by the distinguished Cana- dian man of war. Colonel Dennis says that the’re are 157,000 Canadians in Chica'go. Cal- gary, with a total population of 60,000, sent 16,000 soldiers to the front. What then might Chicago yield ? There are about 350,000 British sub- jects here, and some sixty-five St. George and Maple Leaf societies. There is no shortage of material here- about for the British recruiting mis- sion. Colonel Dennis and Captain Kenney joined in plans. What they want is men to send to the front. Neither has any choice as to whether the men go in Canadian kilts or American khakis. At every one of the dozens of scat- tered stations under Captain Kenney's command volunteers of Canadian citizenship were taken for the expedi- tionary forces of the Dominion; at every,headquarters over which Colonel Dennis has control volunteers of American allegiance were taken for our own National Army. I said neither. But I held my breath, for it was an impressive mo- ment, the formal enactment in Chi- cago of immortal history; the physi- cal unlon of the fighting strength of two great nations. And the spirit of patriotic coâ€"operation in the common cause of justice sanctified the alli- ance. You wouldn't exactly call it hands across the sea, because Canada is only across a lake; but Canada is part of England, which is a long way from South State Street, says a Chicago writer. Anyway, what I’m driving at is this : Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Dennis, of- ficer commanding the western division of the British Recruiting Mission, recently clasped hands with Captain F. R. Kenney, officer com- manding the recruiting district of Northern Illinois for the United States army. When two belligerent parties shake hands there are only two things which the referee or third party can sayâ€" either “Take your corners” or “Bless you, my children." I said neither. But I held my breath, for it was an impressive mo- ment, the formal enactment in Chi- 'make life miserable for others. German U-boat along; with other evil things. ...._ ..._.

How far do you come from this description? Have you ever made an earnest effort to streiigthen your constitution, to build up your system to ward off dis- comfort and disease? Unless you have an organic disease it is general- ly possible to so improve your physi- cal condition that perfect health will be yours.

It is what you digest, not what you eat, that furnishes strength for the day’s work. Many foods tax the digestive powers to the utmost with- out supplying much real nutriment. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is all food and in a form that is easily digested. It is 100 per cent. whole wheat. For break- fast, dinner or supper it takes the place of meat, eggs and potatoes. You don’t know how easily you can do without meat or potatoes until you try it. Delicious with sliced bananas, berries, at other fruits, and milk. Made in Canada.

[Ward's Liniment Glues Colds. Etc 'Men as Well Fed as Ever, But Saving Amounts to 15 Per Cent. The British army in the field is con- ‘suming about 15 per cent. less of food- lstuffs per capita than it did eighteen {months ago. The private soldier takes more kind- ly to the don’t-waste-food campaign than was expected, for at heart the British Tommy has an aversion to see- ing good food going into the waste box â€"he never did it at home, and it looks like bad business to be doing it in The British soldier is still the best- fed soldier in Europe, but the supply departmens are gradually rescuing him from the stigma of being at the same time the most wasteful. Stocks of meat and bread are closely watch- ed, and unused allowances must be held over and added to the store for the next meal or the next day. This is not due to any studied dimi- nution of rations, but to a more care‘ ful distribution and the prevention of waste. It is very easy for a generous commissariat to supply an army with more than it can use. In_ the early days of the war this practice of gen- erosity was well-nigh universal, be- cause it was regarded as wiser to pro- vide too much than too liitle, and the reaching of the exact mean is not a. simple matter. The policy of over- supply was well enough when food- stuffs were fairly plentiful, but nowa- days, when the result of the war may depend upon the solution of food pro- blems, nothing is being left undone to prevent waste. People with strong constitutions escape most of the minor ills that make life miserable for others. Don’t is to build up your blood as poor blood is the source of physical weak- ness.

Chinese Ships Carry Copious Supply of aFirecrackers to Scare Them. When a Chinese crew sets sail these days, says the New York Times, it al- ways takes along a lot of firecrackers. The Chinese is superstitious. He has always believed that the exploding of a firecracker was the most efficacious method of putting evil spirits to fight. Now that the U-boat is a danger to ships, the Chinese sailors take with them on voyages great strings of fire- crackers, which they explode in the danger zones to frighten away the German U-boat along with other evil things. rauce lone were suddenly to inquire in Ot- ltawa. “Who is Dennis?” one might get back the typically British answer, “\Vho is he not '3” For years he was assistant to the president of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, Lord Sliaughnessy.

Yours truly, etc. P.S‘.â€"We hope the suffering is not all over.” They Meant Well. Not long after a fire in a town near London, some children in the city held a charity fair, by which $20 was realiz- ed. This sum they forwarded to the rector of the church in the town where‘ the fire had occurred, since he had taken a prominent part in the relief work. The letter read as follows: Minard’s Liniment Cures Distemper. Fruit-bearing Wood.

Fruit of apple, pear and quince is usually borne on spurs on two-year- old wood and older. Plum, same as with apples, pears and quince; oc- casionally some fruit is borne on two- year-old wood.
