But -be sure; it is the whole wheat prepared in a diges- tible form. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is 300 peri, cent. whole wheat -nothing wasted, nothing thrown away. Fifteen years ago -Shredded Wheat was eaten only as a breakfast cereal; now it is eaten for -any meal as a substitute for meat, eggs, or potatoes.

Beautiful Tree, Native of the West Indies, Has Poisonous Properties. Literature oils• the tropics abounds with stories of poisonous plants and trees, and to this beautiful 'tree, arch- ing nrany a roadway with its glossy green leaves and rose -tinted flowers, bas beeh ascribed the deadly poison- ous properties of the far -fanned Upas, tree or the East. To the fruit of this tree, more than to the effect of its foliage, is due its evil "name. Manzanillo- in Spanish means "little apple" and in the Papiamento tongue of the blacks of Curacao, Dutch West Indies, living in their little thatched huts, the name Manzanillo is pronounced but slightly differently from the Spanish. It , has -been stated by Spanish writers that if one remains' under its shade for a few hours or sleeps there death is likely to follow, or that even if the unfortunate escapes death the body will become a mass, of running sores. The,deleteriouslploperties of the shade of this trge have, however, been greatly exaggerated, and as for the actual poisonus effect of the leaves and shade considerable diver- sity of opinion still exists, as is the case with the poison ivy of the States. The small, apple -shaped fruits have tempted many a stranger to a much - regretted °meal. '+As recently as the summer of 1916 an officer of..a Dutch steamer had a narrow escape from serious poisoning, emetics and stom- ach pumps' alone saving his , life. Some 32 ',years ago 54 members of the crew of a German ship were taken to the local hospital all very `sick from having eaten the'- fruit of the Man- zanillo. Five of this number died and the rest, after serious illness for several weeks, reeovered. As is the case With the question, of the leaves and shade, there are many acbounts of the effect of the fruit. To quote from one writer "A fish which. eats the fruit becomes infected, the gills becoming yellow and black, and,. one who -eats the fish in this state is said to fall into a profound lethargy, with a ; general 'relaxation of all, the, limbs, according to the amount eaten." The tree when cut exiides a quan- tity of white, milky juice, in the same manner as the common rubber -tree, and to most persons this juice has the same effect as .our poisgn.ivy. IIow- ever, if this acrid milky juice reaches the delicate_n''lembrances of the eye, temporary and often permanent blind- • ness is sure to follow. The Manzanillo is a native of, the West Indian Islands and is usually found in moist situations. Perhaps nothing better shows the cosmopolitan character of the present war than some figures that the British and Foreign Bible ri Society recently gave out. ' Since the war began, the society has distributed for use, by friend and foe, in -trench, dugout, prison camp, barrack room, battleship and hospital, more than_ six million 'books in `sixty languages. i'Tactical Designs Ready for work or play is this at- tractive little model.

SUBMARINE MINING. Quest of Gold is Carried on in Shat- lows of Bering Sea. e Few people know that inen are so greedy for gold that their quest for the precious metal leads them to carry. on mining operations under the sea; Submarines or diving apparatus are not used. The„miners are assisted by Winter, the same stern season which deprives gold seekefs in Alaskafrom extracting ore from the earth during a greater part of- the year. When Bering Sea, off Nome, takes on a coat of ice in Winter, the -miners get busy for operations under the sea. pe "Hot points” are rigged for ' drilling, Brilliant. red or scarlet; according to the cannon a telephonist gets the re- "Hot CURING SKIN TROUBLES So many people, both non and -wo- men, suffer from skin troubles, such as eczema, blotches, pimples and: irrita- tion that a word of advice .is 'acmes - eau. It is a great mistake for such Sufferers and those with bad complex- ions to "smear themselves with greasy ointments. Often they could not do anything worse, for the grease, clogs the pores of the troubled skin and their,, condition actually becomes worse. When there are pimples or erup- tions, or an irritating or itching rash, a soothing, boracic solution may help to allay the irritation, but of course that does not cure the trouble. Skin complaints come from an impure con- dition of the blood and will persist un- til the blood is thoroughly purified. It ,is well known that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have effected the best re- sults in many forms of skin disorders: and blemishes. This is due to the fact that these pills make new, rich blood;' and that this new blood attacks the impurities that give rise to skin troubles a> -disperses them.„ so that Dr. Williams'' Pink Pills cure skin dis- orders from within the system—the only surewway. It should be added that Dr. Williams'; Pink Pills have' a beneficial effect ,up- on -the general health. They increase the appetites and energy and ,cure dis- eases that arise from impure blood. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at'50 cents a box or six boxes for .$2.50 from The Dr:` Williams Medicine -Co., 'Brock- ville, Ont. 2 Vis' PREPARING THE BULB BED.
