14 as 'compared with the previous

the city to the same date was 9,029,

Yet they know as little about it as
they did wheu the epidemic started.

SOME WAR NOTES,

ting it to be thought that they had
met for the first time, but she so
;dreaded the flow of commonplace
questions which the rector and his
wifo would shower upon her if she
made any explanation, that she re-
mained silent and did not say, "i
have met this gentleman before."
He waited to see if she would speak,
Then he said in the most ordinary of
tones:
"Miss Grenville and I met by chane
on the beach this morning."
"You didn't mention it, Signe," said
Aft's. Podswell, suspiciously.
• Hector Warren gave a faint shrug
with his shoulders and smiled.
"I imagine Miss Grenville would
scarcely think it worth while," he
said, easily, and Signa felt grateful to
him for saving her the neceseity of
a reply.
"And now, Mr. Warren," said the
rector, "I trust you will"' become our

luctantly, and made haste to decline,

tor, vaguely, "what an -ahem -extra-

Hector Warren folded it, and
handed it back with a smile.
"I am afraid Lord Delamere has
earned the character of being some-
what eccentric," he said, quietly. "You
think the letter gives me rather too
wide a power? Do. not be alarmed, I
shall not take advantage of such carte
blanche. I am merely desirous of
amusing myself in the old library, if
there is any of it left, as Delamere
says, and that only for a few days,
Perhaps for a few hours only."
The rector breathed a sigh of relief.
As a friend sof the great Lord Dela-
mere's, Hector Warren was sure of
a courteoue welcome at the hands of
the rector; but the rector could not
quite make him out. He was a gentle-
man certainly, but why did he wear
each well-worn clothes and such a
teedy hat, unless he were poor? and
the rector, who had an instinctive dis-
like for poverty, felt unusually glad
that Lord Delamere's mysterioUe
friend might only stay a few days.
"Some chance acquaintance Lord
Delamere. has picked up on his tra-
vel," thought the rector, "and whom
he has gieen permiseion to examine
• the library. I'd better be civil to him,
I suppose. "
, e So, having come to this conclusion,
the worthy clergyman said, with the
usual smile:
"Ahem, we shall be delighted to be
of any service to you, Mr. -Mr. Waia
ren; his lordship; his lordship knew
he could count upon us. Let me intro-
duce you to ray wife in proper form."
Hector- Warren rose and bowed In

nod Mrs. Podswell bestowed on him.
Tben he looked at •Signa, and the
'rector, with a little cough, added:
"And -ahem! -my niece, Miss Gren-
ville."
Hector Warren bowed again, and
assured, unless the Whole combina-
tion of Allies go down to defeat. Ger-
man cunning as well aa strategy has,
been well exemplified in this attack on/
Roumania. When Falkenhayn was re-
moved from chief command of the Ger-
man army, the Kaiser let it be Intown
that he was in disgrace, to doubt to
hide the part he was destined to play
in Transylvania.

"Indeed, yes. That is quite true. I
am quite sure, from what I know of
Delamere, that if any such reminder
had reached him, he would have given
It his attention."

the rector. "But, really, one islikes

believe that he does not have them
iorwarded from place to place.

"A most extraordinary young man,"
said the rector, frowning, with strong
disapproval.
Lord Delamere's friend assented
with an hiclination of the head.
There was silence for a moment,
then the rector shuffled to the door.
"I will get you the key," he said.
"I don't feel certain that you will be
able to get in, with it. It is months
since the door was unlecked. I had a
fire there in the winter; it was a lib-
erty, I am afraid, but I ventured on it.
I hope his lordship will not deem me
too presumptuous."
"Delamere will be much obliged, I
am sure," said Hector Warren.
The rector left the room, and there
was silence again. Signe., bending over
her work, felt rather than saw the
dark eyes turn her way, but he did not
address her. Mrs. Podswell made a
few inane and commonplace remarks
about the weather, and he agreed with
her that England could boast of the
worst climate in the world, and by
that time the rector returned, dang-
ling a bunch of keys.
"Here they are," he said, in his

don't know whether you will need

CHATTER V. !
Hector Warren rose, and took the.
keys with a smile.
"I don't know," ha said.
"Perhaps I'd better come." murmur-
ed the rector, reluctantly; the day
was ivarm and it was his time for
"reading" in his study -that is, snooz-
ing comfortably in the easy chair.
Hector Warren made haste to as-
sure him that it was- not necessary.
"I can find my way," he said, "and
if the keys will not prove a sufficient
'open sesame,' I dare say one of the
windows will open. GOod-afternoon."

faint touch of enjoyment. It is always

"What will Lady Rookwell say? She

said Mrs. Podswell, with grim satis-

Every Woman's Ambition
For Rosy Cheeks
Now Easily Satisfied
Hollow cheeks, with dark lines un-
der the eyes, how a woman hates
them!
But rosy cheeks, clear skin, and
bright eyes, give them to a woman,
and she is happy.
The woman who attracts, whose
fresh, dainty complexion compels ad-
miration, ie always careful of her
health, particularly of her blood con-
dition. Bad complexion always meane
bad blood.
'Girls, don't let your blood grow
thin or watery. To do so brings on
haggard looks and decliuing strength.
Many a woman who has allowed
herself to run down, to develop that
tired, worried look has built up again
in this 8imp1e way. Why don't you
try it?
At the close of every meal, just
take two small chocOlate-coated Fere
rezone Tablets -any person can do
this in a minute. The action of Fer-
rozone is apparent at once. It sets
you up, makes you feel good, starts
up your appetite, aids digestion,
brings that old-time feeling of youth
into the system again.
Ferrozone puts you on the right
road -the one leading to health.
Not a man, woman or child need-
ing blood, vigor, endurance -not a
person who is weak, nervous or sick-
ly, not a person in ill -health who
won't receive immediate help from
Ferrozone.
As a tonicor restorative, as a
.1...m1th-bringer and body-builder, Fer-
rozbne ie unrivalled. It cures because
it feeds and nourishes, because it
contains the elements that build up
and strengthen. For better looks and
better health try Ferrozone yourself,

THE MOTHERS.
All night the feeble plaint had never
ceased,
The tiny clutching hands had found
no rest,
Till wan and gray the slowly -paling
oust;
Touched dim the baby face upon my
breast.
"Dear God," I said, "oh, teach me how
to pray!
Though easy paths my faith has loitered
slow;
No words have I, I know not what to
say,
Save this alone -0 God, I love him so:"
A hand was sudden laid upon my hand;
A woman's eyes looked pitying at me;
A gray-haired form stood close -"I un -
stand,
I was a mother, too, in Galilee.

Warm -breathing, gathered close against

My child stretched drowsy limbs, and,

• A RECORD 'STURGEON.
One Fish Provided a Meal for

Very seldom indeed is the sturgeon
the finny monster •which Edward II.
made a Royal fish, and which, when
caught in the Thamee, becomes the
property of the Crown, captured in
English waters nowadays. For this
reason not a little interest was arous-
ed a few days ago when it was an-
nounced that a sturgecn 9 feet 9 in.

been caught in the River Delph at
Welney Washes, near Littleport, Nor-
folk, This fish, which atcording to
the estimate of a saleaman at Spite'.
fields, who ultimately sold. it for $30,
would provide a meal for nearly 1,000
people, had been noticed in the river,
and attempts had been made to shoot
it. But the cartridges used were load-
ed with shot too small to have any ef-
fect on the sturgeon's hard skin. A
large net, therefore, was drawn across
the vigor, after which a boat rowed
alongeide the fish, when one of the
men ‚succeeded itt forcing a large and
powerful hook attached to a strong
pole into his throat. This enabled him
to keep its head out of water just
long enough for the fish to be killed
with a gun. Some idea of its size and
weight may be gathered from the fact
that five men were required to land
it. This, however, is by not means the
largest sturgeon which has been
caught in English water. The record
was; a fish weighing 460 pounds, while

Much as 562 pounds and 735 pounds
have been captured by trawlers. It
Is pointed out that one of the most
remarkable facts about the fish net.
ted in the North Sea is that they are
similar to the American epecies,
Whence it would seem that the spec-
imene caught from time to time in our.
waters must have made the voyage
across the Atlantic, since the fish ap-
pears to have died out as a regular in
habitant of British waters. Sturgeons
pase the greater part of the year itt
the sea, but periodically ascend large
rivers, and it was due to this charac-
teristic that the specimen was caught
recently in the River Della Not only
do they attain great eize and weight,
but, according to the estimates of
some experts, they sometimes live as
long as two hundred years. Apropos
of the fact that Edward II. made the
sturgeon a Royal fish, it is interesting
to note that its flesh, quite apart from
the fact that caviare le made from the
roe, is always held in great estima-
tion, and in olden days was always re-
served for the table of the king,
Double Eyed Fish.
There is a nen equipped with bifocal
eyes, one-half of the lens for seeing
above the surface of Lite water and the
caller for submarine use. This char-
acteristic also gives the fish it popu-
lar name -double eyes.
The fish inhabits the Shores of
South America. Sometimes they swim
with the eyes half out of water. Ex-
amination shows that each lens is
divided into two parts by -a dark band.
The half above the band is out of
nater and the other half below the
surface.
Naturalists tell us that the fish's
eyes became "double" froya its, area
tice in ewimming with them half sub-
merged. Nature made the part of the
eye above water adapted for seeing
in the air, while the other part re-
mained adapted for visien under
water.
Tho double -eyes grow to about a
foot in length, and in' Brazil are
caught for food.

A MOST WORTHY OBJECT
Dear Sir, -With the continued dur-
ation of the European war, the in-
creased suffering and destitution of
thousands of widows and orphans
have impelled the various Societies
and. churches of the Allied countries
in Detroit, to combine for the purpose
of giving a grand charity bazaar for
their relief, which will be held at the
New Tabernacle, Grindley Field, De-
troit, Mich., November 15th to 25thi.
A space has been aesigned to the
Canadians for a booth, and all donat-
ions in cash, as well as the proceeds
from merchandise donated to the Can-
adian section, will be forwarded to the
Relief Committee, founded and con-
ducted by the Canadian Government.
The fund will also be increased by the
proportion of the general fund to
which the Canadian section is entit-
led.
May I ask you in the interests of
charity, to give this public notice, and
request the readers of your valuable
journal to forward to the secretary at
111 East Congress street, Detroit,
Mich., the names and addresses of
their relatives and friends now resid-
ing in this State, in order that we
may communicate with them with -a
view of interesting them in this hu-
mane undertaking. .
Thanking you in anticipation, I am,
yours very respectfully, -
H. Buchnell, Secretary.

T3IE BEST WAY
In Which the Homemaker Can Do
Things Needful.
To economize on asparagus and at
the same time make an appetizing
dish, try paring the stalks of the veg-
etable its fun length and then cutting
them together with the tips and cook-
ing in the usual way. This prevents
waste, not alone of the food, but also
of time in cutting the asparagus with
the fork -and then no remaining por-
tion is left upon the plate
To clean straw hats, moisten a clean
old tooth brush with water, and then
carefully springle peroxide of hydrogea
upon it. Scrub the hat with this quick-
ly, a small section at a time, wiping
up the soiled moisture with a bit of
sponge or soft, clean linen rag. If the
hat is much soiled the brush may be
quite wet, and a little bland white
soap rubbed thereon before it is
sprinkled with the useful peroxide.
To clean weed's from a walk, make
a strong solution of rock salt and boil-
ing Water. Pour this upon the weeds
as hot as you can have it after the
salt is dissolved. Take care that the
coiution does not get upon the ideate
and grass you may with to preserve
on either aide of the walk, Weeds,
