GAINED 13 WEEKS' BREAD.
Great Britain Has Diverted Milling
Offals and Coarse Grains
From Livestock.
Two-thirds of the offals from the /
milling of wheat which were formerly
fed to pigs and cattle in Great Britain
are now put into the loaf for human
consumption, as well as most of the 1
barley and maize, which were former-
ly used far feeding livestock. In this m
wax Great Britain has gained thirteen 0
weeks' supply of bread, an amount j
which, with the fullest possible co- 11
operation of Canada and the United d
States, is counted upon to tide the e
people of the British Isles over the
period before the next harveet.

SEA -FISHING
IN WAR TIME
SAILING TRAWLERS FORM THE
BULK OF FISHING FLEET,
Fishermen Are Making Fortunes—
And Earning Them In Those
,
Dangerous, 1V1Ine.Sown.Seas.
The world has heard much of the old
fishing -trawlers which have left off
following the herring and have gone
to following the mines, but the work
of the old trawlers which are still,
in this day of German sea -mines,' fol-
lowing the herring to help feed Bri-
tain, has gone untold.
For many things 'beside fish come
up in the trawls nowadays, and there
is no moment more packed with dread-
ful uncertainties than the moment
when the trawl, with its half -ton of
mysteries, slung up to the mast by its
heavy blocks and top -ropes, is untied
at the bottom .and its slimy, dripping
contents sent slithering dawn into the
fislarooni.
Sometimes a small mine, containing
only 120 pounds of tri -nitro -toluol, is
selected among the herring, the flat
'fish, the great halibut, and skate, and
then the crew makes a dive for its
small boat, and pulls away in a panic,
to recover its self-possession under
the assurance of distance, and to
watch while some volunteer goes
aboard again to sling the trawl out-
board with the little donkey engine,
and dump its contents back into the
sea. After whi9h, all hands take shots
at the little nifne as It floats away,
and keep on shooting at it until It
sinks or explodes.
A Gruesome Haul.
Sometimes dead men, who have
been buried in carves bags with
weights of lead at their feet, are
brought up, and the crew is struck
dumb with the.horror,of it as if it had
brought up a _mine. And sometimes
the shapeless bodies of dead Meni
who have not been given the decen-
cies of sea -burial are brought up.
And hardly a trip passes but what
some of the, wreckage which litters
the floor of the sett off the coasts of
the Warring powers is brought up, and
cast back intia'the sea agaln.
"I -wouldn't, fish now for a guinea
an hour," said a polioeman here to-
day. "Y' oughta see some of the stuff
hey bring up!"
But the fishermen who are left at
his little port are minting money off
he fishing -banks, There is one fish-.
erman who, when the war began, was
a master of a comnion trawler, but
who -now owns a fleet of trawlers of
his own, and reckons his wealth up
into six figures of pounds sterling.
But boys and very old men now
man the fishing -trawlers, and their
old independence is taken from them
by the martial law which rules the
coasts of England. It took a good
deal of time to break the fishermen
lute discipline; but they finally learn-
ed that if they refused to obey the
Coastguard's rules their permits would
t
t
t
e revoked. So by this time they have
earned •to tone the mark.
It is the sailing trawlers which now
onstitute the bulk ef England's fish-
ng-fieet, for most of the steam traw-
ers have been taken over to fish for
mines. But however beautiful they
ay appear at sea, in the harbor one

ected looking of all craft. • Her sails

forecastle, there is a dirty array of
clothing drying on the ri,gging, and if
there is anybody aboard, it is quite
likely to he an extremely dirty boy
smoking an extremely crumpled pipe
on the hatch -combing, and spitting
with extreme frequency down int(nthe
hold.
This is the usual appearance of
slovenly idleness the fishing -craft ex-
hibit after they have unloaded. Then
comes the job of cleaning up: You
climb down a steep ladder into the
empty fish -hold into pitcli darkness
no ventilation, and an almost over-
powering stench of fish. Here, with
a broom and a bucket of hot water,
down on your hands and knees --for
there is almost no head -room, you
scrape down the slime and scales and
fish -offal from the sides and bottom of
the hold, probably thoroughly wetting
yourself through in the process, and
then carry the water and offal up on
the deck, and empty them overboard.
After this there is the washing down
of woodwork on deck to do, ropes to
coil and rope -ends, seaweed, and fisl-
offal to gather up and throw over-
board. And if you're fond of working
in harbor—what can be chiller than
working in harbor?—you'll tidy up (Ito
forecastle and reduce its chaos of oil-
skins, sea -boots, dirty clothing, stale
food and filth into some semblance of
decency.
By that time you're ready to go
ashore. And the next marling you go
out again.

The Best of Mediums.
You may talk about your posters and
your ads upon the fence,
But they ain't the kind of mediums
that appeal to common sense;
You may talk about your dodgers, and
your circulars and such,
But I calculate they don't assist an
advertiser much;
And especially in winter, when the
snow is on the ground,
I wonder where your posters and
your dodgers can be found?
But within the cosy homestead when
the parlor stove's aglow,
The newspaper is read aloud to every-
one we know.
The farmer sees the painted sign upon
the barn and grins;
Two dollars yearly for the space he
usually wins,
And there his interest in the ad be-
gins, and there it ends,
And the same is true of nearly all his
neighbors and friends;
But they read -the local paper every
e day or every week,
And in its welcome columns all their
information seek,
And you may be quite certain that the
ads therein displayed
Are also read with interest and are
sure to make some trade,
4-t stands to reason, anyhow, that what
a fellow buys,
He's going to read and get his monei'se
worth, if he is wise,
The father, mother, uncle, aunt, the
daughter and the son,
Are going to read the newspaper, and
sois every one,
So it also stands to reason that a
local, merchant's ad
Will there attract attention, be it
either "good or bad.
And the newspaper as medium leads
all other kinds with ease,
For that is where the multitude the
advehtisement sees.
CANADA'S NEW NEW PARK.
Point Pelee Contains Beautiful Wood-
land and Lake Scenery.
Point Pelee, the most southerly por
tion of Canadian territory, jutting ou
from the lake shore of Essex county
Ontario, into lake Erie for a distant
of about nine miles, has just bee
created a National Park by the Do
minion Goverzunent, to whomethe lan
belonged. The creation of this pari
for the protection of its distinct an
attractive tree anil plant life and th
wild life it harbors permanently and
during certain seasons, was recom-
mended by the Commission of Con
servation and the Advisory Board o
Wild Life Protection; the Canadiaa
Society for the Protection of Bird
and the Essex County Wild Life Con
servation Association also advodate
its creation. In the Ninth Annua
Report of the Commission the niai
features of the Point are described a
follows:
"Not only is it the most southerly
point of Canada, geographically, and
in the character of its birds, trees and
plants, but it constitutes one of the
concentration points in the northern
and southern journey of our migratory
birds. In the spring and in the
autumn, enormous numbers of birds
of all species in their migratory jour-
neys to and from Cdnadian territory
concentrate at this point and its reser-
vation, therefore, would be an import-
ant factor in ensuring the protection
of these. The area includes a marsh
several square miles in extent which
forms a favorite resort and breeding
place for wild fowl, but excessive
shooting has reduced its value as a
breeding place. Pine, oaks, red cedar,
black walnut, and hackberry grow in
profusion on the narrow strip of land
running down the west side of the
point and rhake it a tract of singular
beauty to the lover of trees and shady
groves. Its scenic value, the southern
nature if its birds and plant life, its
importance as a -main route for
migratory birds d'ild the exceptional
opportunities it affords f or the pro-
tection and encouragement of wild
fowl, insectivorous and other birds, all
combine to make it an ideal area for
a national reservation."
With the exception that duck shoot-
ing will be allowed on the marsh
under permit for a limited season in
the fall, the wild life in the park,
which includes the 'extensive marsh
will be protected as is the case in all
the National Parks. The park con-
tains some of the most beautiful wood-
land andlake scenery that is to be
found ,in western Ontario and its re-
servation will mean the permanent
protection of the area under the Parks
Branch of the Department of the In-
terior for the use and enjoyment of
the public.
Glass Cans for Maple Syrup.
One advantage orusing glass con-
tainers for maple syrup instead of the
tin receptables now in use, would be
that, the Purchaser being ble to see
the syrup in the glass bottles, better
sales would result. The objection
that it would be much more difficult to
prepare the syrup far shipmeet in
bottles is offset by the fact that the
glass containers have a market value
in every household. If quart jars are
used they can he emptied and made
ready for the housewives' canning
seaaon. The gallon containers can be
made use o.1 in a similar fashion.

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD. .
Railway Official's Conclusions Fel-
lowing yyestern Tour.
"After an extended tour through the
west, both over the C.P.R. and, other
lines, during which I looked carefully
In:OS/crop prospects, I think it is safe
to conclude that, with the increased
acreage under cultivation, Western
Canada this year will produce at least
as many bushels of grain as last year,
provided, of course, that conditions
continue as favorable as they are at
present." This was the statement
made on July 16th by Mr. C. E. Mc-
Pherson, assistant passenger traffio
manager of the C.P.R. at Winnipeg,
'while M Montreal on a bpsiness trip.
Mr. McPherson said that in some
parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan
drought and winds had cut into the
possibilities of the harvest very
seriously, while in larger districts re-
cent rains had helped the growing
- grain along wonderfully, so that where
fa a few weeks ago there was little in
sight it now seemed likely there would
S be at least fair crops. In Manitoba,
- which province had during recent
(1 years fallen behind in wheat produc-
1 tion, kr. McPherson said the pros -
n pects were particularly good, with a
s largely increased area of wheat acre-
age, and every prospect of abundant
ED. 7 ISSUE 30—'18
yields.
So far as passenger business was
concerned, Mr. McPherson said that
the roads in the west had never done
better than during the present year.
As to American tourist business, par-
ticularly toward the far west, Mr.
McPherson said it was too early to
i make any predictions, but the pros-
jpects pointed to at least as good a
season as last year, while the number
of visitors to the Rocky Mountain
resorts was well up to the average.

HOW TO PREVENT FOREST FIRES
Never leave camp with your camp-
fire; burning.
Never drop lighted matches or to-
bacco in the woods.
Never clear land by fire in very hot
weather.
Try taking these precautions this
year only,
You'll do the same thing next year
by habit.

An ',can't:de of Business Blindness in
Great Britain.
In several British industries, native
raw materials are now being utilized
where, before the war such materials
were imported from the continent
simply because the manufacturer did
not happen to know that ample sup-
plies of the'same were at his very
door, a fact of which he would have
been informed had he consulted com-
petent scientific authorities. This is
well illustrated in the case of one of
e
lthe largest steel corporations of Eng
land which, until 1914, had been lm
!porting from Austria, through a Ger
man firm, a certain material for lining
its converters, When war was de
clared it congratulated itself on th
fact that it had -a two years' supply
on hand. As time wore on, however
and the supply diminished, compla
cency gave place to anxiety Finally
the directors decided to call on scien
tific advice. They were referred to
the geologists who informed them that
a bountifill supply of the material in
question was available in the immed-
iate vicinity of their own plant.The
information was acted upon, a shaft
was sunk at no great distance frorn
their furnaces, and, as a result, the
company is now mining in sufficient
quantity on its own 'account the ma-
terial formerly imported from Auetria
at many times the present cost. ----Prof,

Much Sugar Sunk by Submarines.
Subraarthe activities off the Atlan-

of 13,864 tons of sugar from Cuba and
Porto Rico. This is more than the re-

loss of this sugar emphasises the need

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon Juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the Juice of two fresh lemontainto a
bottle containg about three ounces of
orchard tohlte, then shake well and
•
you have a whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for a small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon Juice so no pulp, gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will
remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
Unprecendented Fire Waste.
Up to the present, the ire loss of
the Dominion of Canada is 25 per
cent, greater than for the correspond-
ing period of last year. If this rate
of destruction continves, the loss will
exceed thirty-two million dollars in
1918, and, together with expenditures
upon insurance and fire protection,
will constitute a burden of over
$65,000,000. This means abrut $101
out of the poceet of every mar,
woman and child in Canada, or
almost $40 for the average family.

Twenty Sheep are Needed Back of
Every Soldier.
Twenty sheep are required to pro-
vide sufficient wool to keep one soldier
clothed. In Canada we have less than
5ate sheep for every soldier. Not only
is the wool in great demand at record
prices, but the meat also brings high
prices. In many parts of Canada
sheep production should be greatly
increased. In some sections dogs are
a menace to sheep -raising and the
Canada Food Board has suggested
that local legislation to protect sheep
be adopted wherever necessary. Such
legislation is a matter of local juris-
diction and co-operation of officials ,
and public is asked in encouraging
slieep-raising by making conditions
safe.
