THE FOOD CRISIS.
Material For :Developing Man Power
Must Come Froni 'Land.
One can understand the attitude
taken by people in resenting being told
over and over again that we must
have meatless days, that we must,eat
lessand, that we must economize. We
need not be surprised at the question;
coming back from the people: Why not
increase- production ?
No amount of economy will atone
for underproduction. This is being
fully appreciated by. the United States
aince/their entry into the war, and
should. be appreciated by us.
At the outbreak of the war Great
Britain was farming 50 per .cent. less
land than she did one hundred k years
• ago, and 45 per cent, of her popula-
tion isin the cities. Germany, in the
same time, had been stimulating her
farming by a system of co-operation
between the Government and the
farmer by which loan`s might be' had
and paid back " in, instalments. By
such meansshe was able to keep' ap-
proximately one half of her popula-
tion on the farms. She, has conse-
quently been almost self-sustaining.
The accompanying table taken from
the Yellow Book of the department
of Agriculture shows at a glance the
results obtained in' Great Britain and
- Germany -on each one hundred acres
of cultivated land, and demonstrates
the increase in production of the latter
country as against, the former:

Canada is capable of supplying food
for every man, woman and child -in
Europe; yet less than 10 per cent. of
this• land is under cultivation, while in, a

W [O;WERE THEY
BEFO''RE' `SHE WART
IIOW LONG HAVE •THEY BEEN IN
THE 'ARMY?,
Is It Credible That They Were Ever
Anything But. Soldiers?—What
Officers Say About Their Men
A ve3•y fine appreciation of ' our
wonderful citizen army has just been
sent to England from ,the British
Headquarters by the special corre-
spondent of the London
Times.
"The outstanding fact' of the-, re-
cent fighting here has been the same
as it was on the Somme last year,
namely, the amazing quality of our
men," he says.
"Instances of individual heroism
are still passed about; but they are
little compared with the heroism of
the mass, of which one thinks it ne-
cessary to speak no more than in men-
tioning a rose is it necessary to dwell
upon its scent and hues and shape,:.
Quality of the New Drafts.
"A never ceasin g : subject of curios-
ity
ity with me whefi talking to' officers of
almost every grade is the quality of
the nevirsdrafts; and I have never yet
met a .case where the officer was not
satisfied with his latest drafts and
apprehensive about his next. This
has been so for two years. Just as
the ol-d Regular Army feared. for the
Territorials and the first Territorials
feared for all the/ later men, so each
successive layer of the Newest fears
for• the layer that will come next. And
the last' layer gets kneaded into the
lump and, with it, shares the old
fears as -to the quality of those who
will be coming after. So, it goes on
—and look at them!
"Who would say,whether the' men
of this company sWinging along the
road had been out here for"two months
.or two years ? It is not a very full
company, for the men are 'corning
out'; but mark the copper -bronze
faces and the confidence and rhythm
of the march. And the young officer
at their head: Goodness knows v<'hat
he was two years ago, 'but to -day Ire
is an officer' and a soldier every inch
of him, fit for men to follow.
Their Great Confidence..,.
"Another company passesithem on
the road, going the other way, fuller
in strength and without the stains of
recent battle on the uniforms. But
the faces are as bronzed and the tread
is as firm. The two passinsilence
with friendly measuring eyes—those
just coming out from the doors of
death and those just passing in—but
there is no criticism in the gaze of the
one nor envy or apprehension in that
of the other; neither pride of F duty
well done on the one side, nor fear of
failure to do it on the other.
"And the long trains of gains and
artillery transport; ,you can stand
nd, as they pass slowly, study each
niiividual man, note the way they sit
heir horses,,.the evidence- of the care
hat is taken of the animals, the con-
dence of the drivers, the serene as-
urance of his own competence which
stamps the bearing of every man.
Who were they before the,war? How
long have they been here? Is it cre-
dible that they were -ever anything butt
soldiers ?
UNCONQUERED.
Do they die who March away?
Father, brother, husbai,d--, son;
Nay, and ever, ever nay;
Their -March -is but begun.
On -Flemish fields, vvhere;'blood flows
fast,
Yea, faster than -our tears,
Their bodies.`lie, their souls gone past
The swift march of the years.
With eager hearts they wait for us,
A mighty, jubilant 'throng;
Our men, o'er death'victorious,,
Of healing peace their song..
Do they die who' march away? ,
T Father; brother, husband, son;

The Dispatch Riders. - -
"Where have all the dispatch riders
come from, these men whom all the
Army admires, whd day and night
all weathers, soaking wet or covered,
with grime; flash by with tight -set
lips__and steady eyes, through all the
dust' and swirl of traffic ? One knew
there were young men in Britain who
loved such daredevil work.as this; but
where have we found enough of them,
so that on the - roads of- half France
one is never out of earshot of the ma-
chine gun rattle of their engines?
And the , transport drivers, how
comes it that they '
y are sill brave, all
possessed of an equal and supreme
contempt for shells when,they have a
job to do? If you ask an ;infantry-
?man or gunner who was the bravest
man he has seen ,he will speak ,prob-
ably not of another infantryman _ er
gunner in the exercise of his ordinary
duties, but of some runner who car-
ried messages, some engineer of ''sig-
nals' who had thecare of telephone or
telegraph wires, or some stretcher-
bearer. So it is. all through the
Army; and it is impossible not ' to
wonder daily how these men hid their
qualities before the war, and what has
shaped them to what they `hie .to -day.
Comman..der's Praise.
"Talking to a Divisional Command
hr. recently I"asked about the general
behavior' of his men. 'Oh,' he said;,
`they'rei rippers;, absolute 'toppers,
every man of them!' His men came
chiefly from certain manufacturing
ctistricts in the Worth of England.
Within the last two days an Army
Commander, replying to thesame
clueption, broke _ out: `Oh, -they're ex-'
traordinarily good; couldn't be better,
no matter where they come from',
"Anel an Amy Commander's men
come from most parts of the Empire.
"Another Divisional Commanderhad spoked ,for some time of the
splendid way his men had fought:—
'And the way they stick.by each
other,' he had said, 'is Simply .Mag-
nificent.' "'Are they tired?' I asked.
'Do they want peace?' 'Not a bacl
peace,' was the quick reply, 'not one
of them. They 'understand now what
this war. is about, which at the begin-
ning they didn't.
"From my own obseriratiol; 1 be-
Neve this to be true, Tired? of
course, men " feet tired individually,
physically and mentally 'tired, ` But
the British Army is very stern and
set in its ::purpose now. Many men
there are undoubtedly' who fight for
the love of ng hting; but` hi the 'masa
fl
our men 'htnow - not , from . 'adv en-
turousness, not. from 'discipline, 'but
because they propose' to ` win. this
war, and, know' that fpr the world's
,sake, win it they must,
"'It might have • been :a' very nice
war,' said a sergeant, `if the Germans
would have fought it right.'
"But those illusions are gone. The
German has not, fought it right; and
it is a vile,and dreadful war; and our
men know ittnow, and know that there
is nothing else to do but crush the
Power which made it so."
NEW HEALTH FOR WOMEN
The most fateful years in a woman's
life are those between .forty-five' and
fifty. Many of the sex enter this

the blood is weak or watery and so
they suffer heavily. Among the Com-
monest symptoms are headaches,
feverish flushes, palpitation of the
heart, dizziness., ,backache, depression
and otherwell recognized. disturb-
ances of the health which signalizes„
that tiie " blood requires attention.
Women urgently need rich, -:red blood
all their lives, but never more s,o than

need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, -says this
Cincinnati authority, because 'a few
-drops of freezone applied directly on a

A small bottle of freezone costs very
