Almost from the day the enemy cross- ed‘ the Nord Canal practically every battalion of Canadian railway troops has been working unceasingly at the task, some units acting as pioneers in the construction of the great defence line that causes the Huns to hesitate on this sector. Little French villages that never hoped for steel links with the larger cities have now become, _88 if by the rubbing of some magic Aladdin's Lamp, great junctions where train- loads of supplies come and go every part of an hour. The new lines run through the fertile fields of growing crops, and careful building has saved the Frenchman his harvest. but for the necessary strip of permanent way. There are alternate routes around towns which the Hun might shell, and day by day stores of carefully con- cealed ammunition dumps grow up, which are fed by the strips of steel. Stronger Than on the Somme. "Speaking from a strateglcel point of view,” said a railway staff ofiicer, “we are in a better position toâ€"day than we were on the Somme. The hundreds of miles of new track have been built specially for military use, and conform with the fighting front. All possibilities have been considered. Where, previously, we had to rely on civilian built lines, which would tediously round the country by indirect rbutes, we now have a military sys- tem which takes out supplies in the quickest and most direct way to where they are needed. The latest German thrust gave us the first test of the system, and divisions were shifted with a speed that must have sur~ prised the Huns." HAS GROWN UP AT-NEW BATTLE FRONT IN FRANCE. In the same way some of the Cana- dian auxiliary troops have been work- ing untiringly in the-gun spurs behind the new front, oi! which the big howit- zers pound the enemy positions. One battery from the middle West has the record of construction, twelve of these in a week, and each one was cleverly camouflaged from the prying eyes of Hun airmen. New Defences Powerful. From the new rallheads, many of which have been christened with Canadian names, there start freshly constructed light railway systems that wind their way through little valleys still screened from the enemy to the fine new reserve trenches, which have not yet had to be used, and perhaps never will be You cannot run trains over a line drawn in blue pencil on an ordinary map, and the railway en- gineers have to build scores of miles that might be used. They must be there for an emergency. The construction of the new British defencesâ€"railways play a. prominent partâ€"have\ been marvelously comâ€" plete, and have been so rapid that be- fore the Huns could take breath for another stage of attacks on this Northern section the fabric of a tort- ress faced them, and grew into such menacing shape that he hesitated. Now, it he takes another fling at the middle road to the coast he Will have to pay the same great price in blood. The "army behind the army" has done its duty and built well-even better than it destroyed in the sombre days at the end of March. In the course of a recent lecture in London on the Zeebrugge operations, Naval Paymaster Collingwood Hughes narrated a story illustrative of Gerâ€" man cruelty and callousness. He said a patrol boat discovered a derelict German submarine from which it. res- cued the crew. The commander was assured by the German captain that there were no others aboard and he was about to blow up the boat and sink her when he heard tappings from the inside. A search revealed four British seamen tied up as prisoners. “The Germans," the lecturer added, “were going to allow these poor fel- lows to be hurled into eternity after their own lives had been saved." Rescued Crew of Hun Submarine Would Let Britons Drown. Take all odds and ends of soap, tie them up tightly in a piece of soft flannel and dip them in boiling water until soft. Then place in cold water until firm and’hard. Remove the flannel and you have a nice ball of soap ready for immediate use. TAPPINGS SAVED PRISONERS Have Promlnent Part.

If your drugglst hasn't freezone, tell him to order a small bot- tle for you from hle wholesale drug house. Mr. McPherson said that in some parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan drought and winds had cut into the possibilities of the harvest very seriously, while in larger districts re- cent rains had helped the growing grain along wonderfully, so that where a few weeks ago there was little in sight it now seemed likely there would be at least fair crops. In Manitoba, which province had during recent years fallen behind in wheat produc- tion, Mr. McPherson said the pros- pects were particularly good, with a largely increased area. of wheat acre- age. and every prospect of abundant yields. Freezone is wonder- i'u]. It dries instantly. It doesn‘t eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin; Railway Official‘s Conclusions Fol- lowing Western Tour. "After an extended tour through the west, both over the C.P.R. and other lines, during which I looked carefully into crop prospects, I think it is safe to conclude that, with the increased acreage under cultivation, Western Canada this year will/produce at least as many bushels of grain as last year, provided, of course, that conditions continue as favorable as they are at present" This was the statement made on July 15th by Mr. C. E. Mc- Pherson, assistant pas anger traffic manager of the CPR. t Winnipeg, present." This was the statement made on July 15th by Mr. C. E. Mc- Pherson, weistant pas anger traffic manager of the CPR. t Winnipeg, while in Montreal on a business trip. So far as passenger business was concerned, Mr. McPherson said that the roads in the west had never done better than during the present year. As to American tourist business, par- ticularly toward the far west, Mr. McPherson said it was too early to make any predictions, \but the pros- pects pointed to at least as good a. season as last year, while the number of visitors to the Rocky Mountain resorts‘was well up to the average. Letter Tells of Food Conditions inI Paris at the Present Time. Following is an extract from a re- cent letter from Paris: “As you may " know, no white bread is to be bought‘ in Paris, and I am told-that in some parts of the provinces conditions are even worseâ€"that bread of any sort is difficult to get. The quality of the bread in Paris is very poor. It is mixed with many substitutes which do not seem to respond to the yeast. It, is generally sour and clammy, and has made a number of people sick. Be- sides no white bread, there is no cream or sugar or butter desserts of any kind except stewed and fresh fruits served in any hotel or restaur- ant; and no cheese is served if the cost of the meal exceeds a dollar and twenty cents. Imagine sitting down to the early French breakfast at a hotel like the Ritz, in Paris, and being served sour war bread and this miser- able French coffee which tastes likel chicory and soft soap, and then being; told that you could not have butter' for your bread, nor sugar nor cream for your coffee.” ulnard's Idnhnent Cure- :Dlphtherlm SOUR AND CLAMMY BREAD. WOMEN! IT IS MAGIC! LIFT OUT ANY CORN Apply a few drops then lift corn: or calluses of! with fingersâ€"no pain. CROP PROSPECTS GOOD. A Cincinnati man dis- covered this ether com- pound and named it freezone. Any drug- gist will sell a tiny bot- tle of i‘reezone. like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops dlrectly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears. then short- ly you will find the corn or callus so loose tha‘ you can lift it right off. Just think! You can 1m off any corn or cal- lus without pain or soreness. Increased Demand Causes Allies to Turn to This Species. 80 great is the demand for airplane spruce by the Allies that eastern as well as Sltka spruce is now being used. Canada has large resources of eastern spruce, which has hitherto been used mostly for the manufacture of pulp, paper and lumber, and the British War Mission is at present try- ing to secure in eastern Canada as large an amount as possible of the grades suitable for airplane manufac- ture. Eastern spruce has for some time been used for airplane construction in the United States. although only: a very small percentage of this timber is sufficiently clear for this purpose. Tests made by the United States and Canadian governments show that where material of suitable quality can be found, this species serves admir- ably for airplane construction and may be expected to supplement the supplies of Sitka. spruce {mm the Pacific Coast, which are only now be» glnning to approach adequate’propor- tions. The timber for use in airplanes has to be sawed parallel to the bark, lnL stead of parallel to the ms of the log, as is done for lumbar. In this way. straight-grained boards are ob- tained, having the highest possible percentage of material free from knots and poeseaslng a maximum of strengthâ€"CL. What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating. and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the Juice of two fresh lemons into a. bottle contains about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a. whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a. small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Farm Help'at Right Time. The Canadian farmer does not want gifts next Christmas. He wants help *for the harvest, and harvest time will be soon. 12,000 men are needed for Ontario, 12,000 in Quebec, 10,000 in Manitoba, 20,000 in Saskatchewan, 6,000 in Alberta, and 2,500 in British Columbia. New Brunswick needs all her own men she can enlist, and has none to spare. Nova Scotia needs all her own men, so does Prince Edward Island. Help will have to come from the towns and cities, and the time to make arrangements is now. LEMONS MAKE SKIN Any drugglst will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. This is to certify that fourteen years ago I got the cords of my left wrist. nearly severed, and was for about nine months that I had no use of my hand, and tried other Lini- ments, also doctors, and was receiv- ing no benefit. By a persuasion from a. friend I got MINARD’S LINIMENT and used one bottle which completely cured me, and have been using MIN- ARD'S LINIMEN’I‘ in my family ever since and find it the same as when I first used it, and would never be with out it.
