GOES INTO ACT ON DESCRIPTION OF A TRIP ON BRITISH "TIN' FISH,' Crew of the Submarine Know Noti1- ing of What Is Going on Overhead, A graphic description of the "life" in a British submarine about to at- tack a German ship is given in the following account. Look carefully and see how the grim shadow, almost flush with the sea, blends with the grey waters and the grey sky. Her narrow deck is washed from end to end, her bow hidden in a pillow of boiling sea, her eounter lathered in the foaming ed- dies of her wake. Behind the can- vas "dodgers" of her tiny bridge her commander and helmsman ply their trade, the only members of her crew visible, the others are at their sta-+ *sus in her well -lighted interior. Sud- denly there is a sharp word of com- mand, more men appear on her wet deck, all ber movable gear—the wheel, the ventilation cowls, the compass, and other objects—is detaehed and taken inside her hull. The rails are turned down in one moment flush with e rs, tip en r n . e rPP ec - Th eve o e d so. a d k , Y the hatch is screwed tight, the main ballast tanks are filled, the periscope is pushed up to its full height, and thus she prepares to dive to the wet, shadowy realms of the cod and the conger Silence After Noise. The roar of her oil engines has suddenly ceased. The silence seems strange after their thunderous note, and to take their place comes the gentle hum of the electric motors which drive her below the waves. The commander is in the conning tower, his eyes glued to the vibrat- ing lens of the periscope. The stolid • coxswain has the wheel controlling the horizontalrudders that work the boat in her trips below. The second coxswain has the wheel that steers her to port and starboard. The leading torpedo -man -at the switch- board controls all the electrical de- vices that man has chained to his will to work this strange ship. The torpedo -men are at the fully -charged tubes. The engine staff have seen that the water and oil are shut off and are now at the Kingston valves and "Blows" (blow -off valves) on the main ballast tanks. Everyone stands to his station, blind to the world without, waiting for The com- mands of the one man who can see. Order to Dive. "Dive fifteen feet!" conies order, quick acid concise. The next moment the bow has canted down ever so little and the boat like a shadow has slid below, guided by the steady hand of the first cox - wain. In the far distance a ship, grey from truck to waterline, is speeding along the horizon tossing a trailing haze of smoke from her belchingg funnels. Torpedo Stations Ready. ` "Torpedo stations, make ready!" comes from above. The firing reser- voirs of the tube are instantly charged with compressed air, the caps 'covering the outside ends of the tubes are raised by "No. 2" of each tube, and water floods each chamber until a warning spurt from a tiny vent inside the boat tells the torpedo -man that all is clear for fir- ing. The silence whieh now reigns is a lone broken by the huzn of the motors. Everything depends on the judgment of one man; the others see nothing, know nothing, and have blindly to obey his will. . . . The cruiser is now standing up a dark silhouette on the skyline. Not one of her people have seen the "plume" of the submarine's periscope head- ing straight and true to cut them off. Single Word, "Firer" Already a string of concise orders is coming down from the com- mander; finally, "Starboard tube-- stand ube- .stand by." The tube is ready, "No. 2" (the chief torpedo man has jump- ed round to bang down the firing ball in case the electric circuit fails). The commander's finger crooks round one of the pistol triggers be- fore him—very carefully he is aim- ing with Ms whole ship (for the tubes are fixed in the hull). Then comes the single word, "Firer" There is a heavy thud, a momentary alteration in the boat's trim (at once corrected by the alert coxswain), and at the same instant over 200 pounds of explosive in the war nose, of the torpedo goes burring away at forty !Hiles to the hour. "Good Shot." The enemy notes the wake of the "tin fish"; there is a burst of flame from his secondary battery, and as the shells start on their screaming courses there is a fresh series of commands inside the submarine, and like a shadow her periscope has van- ished, and she is plunging down to sixty feet below the surface, and turns and twists away, steered by C10Cit anti Compass. All the while her crew are listen- ing. Water is a good conductor of sound and will bring to their ears e if the torpedohas a messy o gone g "home." Suddenly they hear it -- just a heavy thud—and on the in- stant they slip towards the world of fresh air once more. Aq the peri- scope projects the commander starts and ejaculates, "Good shot—right in her engine -room." THAN UL MOTHERS Thousands of thankful mothers throughout Canada—many of them your own neighbors—speak with the greatest praise of that splendid medi- cine, Baby's Own Tablets. Many mothers would have no other medicine for their little ones. Among these is Mrs. Albert Nie, St. Brieux, Sask., who says: "I have been using Baby's Own Tablets for the past seven years and they`thave done my four children a world of good. I would not be with- out them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. PROSPERS UNDER BRITISH.

The date palms are festooned with `vines which make a canopy, and fig trees and pomegranates with scarlet flowers grow beneath. The very air seems to sweat, the weather is so warm. Strike a match and it will burn dully without a flicker as if the flame were choked. Besra was never so rich; money is pouring in, trade is brisk, prices are high. Three banks have opened. The Arabs of the city are learning luxurious ways, The four new the- atres which have sprung up during the war barely meet their demand for entertainment. And they are no Ionger content with their simple diet of dates and khobez (a coarse bread), but purchase English stores and eat pineapples and salmon and biscuits and butter out of a tin. AUSTRIANS TIRED OF WAR. .Whole Masses of Men Surrender to Russian Cavalry. All accounts seem to show that neither on the western nor the. east- ern fronts is there any general de- terioration of the German morale, says the London Globe. Signs of such degeneration have been detect- ed here and there, but it is certainly not universal. With the Austrians, on the other hand, .a very different state of mind seems' to prevail. Rus - NEURALGIA PAINS 1 YIELD QUICKLY Hundreds Find Sloan's. Liniment Soothes Their .Aches. The shooting, tearing pains of neur- algia and sciatica are quickly re- lieved by the soothing external appli- cation of Sloan's Liniment.

It's really a friend of the whole family. Your druggist sells it in 25c,, 50e. and $1,00 bottles. sign reports, which are confirmed by the statements of independent cor- respondents, show conclusively that the bulk of the Austrian troops have lost all stomach fox waL'. Whole masses of men, together with officers of high rank, surrender freely to Russian cavalry, to whom they could in all probability offer a successful resistance if they kept their heads, Either they have forgot- ten the well proved maxim that against infantry which has not lost its nerve cavalry is powerless, or they welcome the opportunity of es- caping by surrender from a conflict in which they take no further in- terest. rtttil x� mti r rtre . • Digestive Pills A Warning to DyCpepticta.

REAL HOMES FOR CHILDREN. Should Not Be Kept Too Long in the Shelter or Orphanage. In his annual report on the Chil- dren's Aid Societies of the Province, Mr. J. J. Kelso says: It frequently occurs that Societies have to be reminded that they are making improper use of their chil- dren's shelter by permitting the in- mates to remain therein too long. The thought of the shelter as a hu- man "clearing house" should never be permitted to be pushed in the back- ground by other considerations. One of the tendencies seems to be to aim at having a large number' of inmates.. This is a grave mistake. Get the children out into homes where good mothering is assured, and you will not only obtain satisfactory results the more quickly but at the same time multiply your society's capabilities for usefulness and efficiency. The natur- al shelter of a child is motherly arms —not bricks and mortar. To carry the foregoing into effect requires homes in which to place the children, and as time passes the im- pression becomes a conviction that more thought and energy should be directed to the finding of high class homes, that is where there is a wealth of affection. Too much reliance is being placed upon the casual applica- tion fortuitously reaching the Society at the time it is needed. There are many good, people who have desirable homes, who are considering the pro- position of taking to their hearth and heart some needy child but they get no further. An active campaign judi- ciously managed would result in many of these "prospects" becoming "act- ualities," to the blessing of the child and home and the honor of the So- ciety. The best homes have to be sought for and , it is a quest worth -%�•." ste ,,a}'Ieees «3rd a' e e: ssese`i. and metro Mewed We said taasey the *see der the >i t �trod.

McMillan, who has initiated many notable improvements since he became General Manager of the C.P.R. Telegraphs eighteen months ago, bas just decided to inaugurate an important service entirely new to Canada over the hundred and ten thousand miles of wire under his immediate control, namely, the day letter which may now be sunt between points in Canada on the Canadian Pa- cific system at a rate very much re- duced as compared with the usual commercial rush telegram. Mr. Mc- Millan is convinced that many of those who send telegrams would be quite satisfied if these arrived on the same day; whereas a proportion of the east of the rush telegram is due to the cost of speedy delivery. The day letter offifty words will be rated at one and a half times the cost of a rope. Its capacity will be over regular rush message of ten words 2,000,000 bushels.
