So successful had Ella been in in-
oculating her children with her own
social views, that when plucked away
unexpectedly before the • accomplish-

proved themselves perfectly compet-

Nor did the task tax their powers

That she should make a "good" mar-

most as necessary a part of her life as
that she should get up in the morning
and go to bed at night. Nothing
could he more congenial than the pros-
pect, since the few glimpses she had
had of the higher stratums of society
had appeared to her not unlike
glimpses of a sort of earthly paradise,
filled with such things as beautiful
rooms, wonderful pictures, cut flowers,
and a hundred daintiinesses which
strongly appealed to something in her
nature. That the man who would
one day procure Ler all these delights
should not only be rich but also "nice"
had been a sort of accepted belief, too
latent to have reached the stage of
investigation. It had required yes-

"I've found out another thing. I'
found out what Lady Atterton was b

"Nothing bad, surely?" asked Ju
with an alarmed look towards Fenel
"Nothing bad'at all, and notlii
grand either: a governess."
There was a 'certain triumpha
ring in the word which called for e
planation.
"Isn't that rather •disappointing

"Disappointing? 'Say, rather e

"Oh, I see," --.said Fenella, abruptly
perceiving whither the moral was
pointing.
'It's an engrossing subject, but it
must stand over.for. the present;
since I'm off to the loch -end. 'Don't

"And tell me another truth: Where

Julia looked disapprovingly at the

The mission of food in the body is to

heat and energy to the body for the'

The mysterious processes of diges-

p the food, so that we find
portions of it al,;e°incombustible, that
do not furnish material' for repairing,
building new tissues, heat or energy to
the body. Upon close study we find
that digestion starts in the mouth and
stomach and finishes in the intestines..
The stomach and intestines are so
constructed that they depend upon
their contraction and expansion, as: it
duties, which consist of absorbing the
nutriment of the food, discarding all
that has yielded its,goodness and
eliminating all waste products from
the body.

In order that•tl•ese organs be kept in
their usual working order, :t is neces-
sary that foods containing consider-

SPEED UP FREIGHT MOVEMENT'
In order to facilitate train move-
ments and release passenger train
crews for other work, the railways of
the United States. are making drastic
reductions -compared to which those in
Canada early this. year appear mild.
Thus, for instance, the Pennsylvania
Railroad merely on its lines east of
Pittsburg has eliminated no less than
102 trains, or more than double the
number taken off "the whole of the
Canadian railways, This will cut
down the passenger movement. by an
amount equivalent to 2,268,000 train
miles per annum' or over 6,500 train
miles every week day. A number of
parlor cars, restaurant cars -"and 'ob-
servation
cars are being discontinuocl,
The Boston and Maine has taken off
no less than 255 trains, or more than
five times the number taken off in
Canada, saving approximately 41,000
train miles per'week, Strenuous ef-
forts aro also being [made to increase
the carload and to impress on mer-
chants the importance of rapid un-
loading so that the freight equipment
shall be kept busy to its utmost ca-
pacity, and terminals should be kept,
clear, The American railroads realize
that speed in freight movement 1s one
of the greatest aids they can give to
help win the war and according..to: all
reports are achieving remarkable re-
sults. It is up to Canadians to see
that Canada is 'not left behind' in this
patriotic race.
"Frozen" Troops.
All soldiers are now instructed what
to do when a hostile scouting aero-
planel: is sighted by troops on: the
march. On the warning "Aeroplane!"
every man drops on his right knee,
with' his head bent well over the muz-
zle of his rifle—to look up is fatal, for
it creates a "ha" of white faces—
which is held in a sloping position In
front of the body. All ranks then re-
main as motionless as'they possibly
can until the aeroplane has passed
over them. In fact, they may be said
to "freeze,' as wild animals froze
when seeking to evade observation.,

trade names, cost several times as p
much. It is very often possible' to buy
alt,�,optics and water softeners at a
gree saving in this way.
For instance, boric, or boracic, acid
as a drug is inexpensive; -yet l_ have
had to pay;several times as much for
it when purchasing under a` trade
name. This acid is one of the most
widely used eye remedies, and is the
•principal ingredient in most of them.
The same is true of most foot, powders.
For an eye wash'I use a saturated
solution. This same solution is' also a
;splendid antiseptic, and I keep a small
quantity made up for this purpose: It
mayybe used on open wounds without
Vain: This is' very effective, and is
also non-poisonous.
As a foot powder the acid is used in
the powdered form. One or two spoon-
fuls to a shoe relieves tired, aching;
and sweaty feet, and also removes all
odors.
I keep a bottle containing a saturat
ed solution of borax for use in my
sink. A , few spoonfuls of this
softens the water and brightens alu-
minum ware. A. mixture of half borax
and half sugar is an excellent ant
poison.
TH'E HOUSE OF ,WINDSOR
King George Has Changed the Appel-
lation of British Royal Family.
The Royal family cl Britain is of
the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The
s Hanoverian, line ended with the mar-
riage of Queen Victoria and Albert,
Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
1 George Ir. lives up to the conception
l of a: "Patriot King" He has now
struck out the German names used
in the description of the British Royal
family. Several weeks ago German
titles held by connections of the Royal
family, such as'the Teaks' and Batten
burgs, were abolished, and new .Brit-
ish appellations found for them.
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is now dropped as
the name of the :'reigning dynasty,
Henceforward it is to be the House of
Windsor. That is a fine old historic
English name, after the castle which
has' for so many centuries been one of
the chief abodes .of Royalty. The
change will'be welcomed by the Brit-
ish people, at home and in the outer
parts of. the Empire.
Windsor is a parliamentary and
municipal borough and market town
in Berkshire, on the -Thames, 22 miles
west of London. The village of Old
Windsor ' is about' two 'miles to the
east, where was situated the.royal
residence, granted with the town by.
Edward the Confessor to the monks of
Westminster. William • the Conqueror
regained possession of it and occasion-
ally resided , there, Windsor Castle,
the chief royal palace of England,'
stands on an eminence near the
Thames, and the buildings, and im-
mediate gardens cover twelve, acres,

WORDS WE WANT.
The English Language is Constantly
Tieing Enriched by New Terms.
The war is enlarging• -our dictionary,
and we are growing accustomed to
many terms which, in pre-war days,
rarely or never fell upon our ears.
Blighty, flag -day, strafe, "little bit,"
summer -time, are examples. The lat-
ter word,
at-ter"word, inall its war -paint, actually
appears in the latest volume of the
new English Dictionary.'
But some words are still required, _,
so get busy and see whether you can
find them! .\
To start with, can you think of a
good term for allotment -holder? ` "Al
letter" and, "alloteer" have been•sug-
gested by a contemporary, but they
lack snap. Got anything better ?
A decent name for our airmen is.
also on the waiting -list= -something to
go with Tommy and Jack. No money
will be paid to the inventor; but think
of the glory of having produced a
term that will be handed' down to your
great-grandchildren!
Then,, what shall we call the man
who has been re -rejected? And the
woman voter? And can you find
something snappy for a tobacco -hoard-
er, a man over sixty-one,: and a meal
that is only half a meal?
