NORAH THE RAT -KILLER."
Astonishing Record of a Dog Owned
by a Canadian Private,
"Dogs of 'war" are again in the fore-
ground of the news from the battle-
fields in France. •
Itis timely,,accordingly, to tell of a
• dog which holds one of the most in-
teresting records that has been made
on the western front since the war be-
gan. It le the rat -killing record.
The dog that holds it is ,a little
browny -yellow Irish terrier, of the
feminine sex, whose name, though it
ought to be 'Boadicea or Amazon, or
something equally ,warlike,,' is the
eminently maidenish one of Norah,
Norah, until her arrival back In Eng-
land a few weeks ago, ._had been in
France for two years and ten months;
and in that time she accounted for
over 100,000 rats.
Norah, who is just over three years
old, went to France with a British sol-
dier when she was a puppy aged three
;weeks. Before she was nine weeks
old she had killeii her first rat, and
she has been Idiling them steadily
ever since. The best single day's re
cora'that she put up ; in that time was
628 rodents accounted' for. : That was
,near St. Omer, in August last. Her
tnaturally proud owner, Pte. Thomas
Radford, of the Canadian 'Veterinary
,Corps, kept a record of her perfornl
antes, rat by rat,'up to August last,
,at`which time Noeah's total was the
,astonishing one of 74,119. Since then'.
;her record has been largely by esti-
mate.

FOREST FIRES IN GERMANY.
How Our Enemy Conserves His Forest
Wealth.
If Canada presented Germany with
one hundred machine guns, the Gov-
ernment responsible for the act would
not only be deposed but thrown into
prison.
Any weakening of Canada's natural
resources i5 equivalent to direct 'gift
to the Teuton adversary, says the
Canadian Forestry Journal. It adds to
our handicaps and to his relative ad-.
vantages. It saps this cor}ntrq's
power to hear up in. time of war- and
during the trade struggle of peace
times, for the natural resources are
the great keyno`tes on which the na-
tional arch depends.
To have our forests burn down by
wanton acts of our own population is
quite as pleasing to the Hun as to send
paid bombers into aur munition
plants, • '
To eee the national strength re-
duced by stingy fire protection, serves
the German aim ,cluite as handily as to
submarine our ships ,
If german forests' were disappear-
ing
isappearing as fast as our awn, some sense of
military satisfaction might be felt at
the present time. But such ie not the
case. I
In Saxony, with 436,000 acres of
forests, the loss from fire is rarely
more than $800 pea* annum. Western -
burg, with 418,000 scree of forest,
tosses about $650 per annum. The.
Duchy of Baden, with 24'0,000 acres.,
had only' 90 " aches burned • In nine
years. A,Thus, In about 1,328 square
miles of German forest, the loss runs
about $950 a year. Similar figures apt~
ply to other German forest areas.
Canada, of course, cannot hope to
establish of
fo;eet manage-
ment analogous to thoseof Germany,
and the fire hazard will long remain
alarmingly high, oertainly until the
great peril of , logging €dash is
thoroughly removed. But even with
all allo5rancee, for our peculiar'°eitua-
tion in which all eteps toward conser-
vation must be gauged by the lilcli-
ood of immediate profit in terms' of
cash, Canada'% forest fire looses re-
main out of all proportion to our "he
reducible minimum."

The same result, has been produced
by the campaign ofefalsehood under-
taken, since the beginning of the war,
by La. Belgique, Le Bruxellois and
other newspapers published in Flemish.
and in French by the Kpommandatur.
Taking advantage of the recent offen
sive, they declare that the French and
English are starving, that Paris is
threatened by another Commune, that
England will never give back Calais
to France and that America is arm-
ing not so much against Germany as
against Japan. The people read the

given special facilities for transport

friends, who are monopolizing the
trade and are able to sell at a much
lower price ($20 to $30 .4 ton), realiz-
ing at t 'le same time a net profit of
over $30 per ton. They insure in
this way, the fidelity of this little
band of traitors. A similar organiza-
tion waseset up for Brussels, but it
was boycotted by the public.
Belgian Patriots ' Lose Posititins
A similar policy with. regard to the
"Activists" has been pursued lately in
every department of public life. Some
of them fill several offices, being at
the -same time professors in the Ger-
man-Flemish
erman-Flemish University at Ghent and
chiefs of some depaz Latent of the new.
Flemish' Ministry in Brussels. ' The
place of every patriot who resigned
was promptly filled by some "Activist"
without anye claim or right to ` it.
Young undergraduates have been
1 -Wade professors" and small employes
are at, the head of important offices.
This policy is not without some in-
convenienceiwhen dealing with such a
motley crowd of shady characters.
About a dozen "Activists" who had
•
been given important posts in the new
administration have had to be dis-
missed for accepting bribes.
The importance ; of the separatist
movement;has been greatly exaggerat-
ed abroad. At the demonstration
Which took place at,Antwerp in Feb•;
ruary Task, and to which the rank and
file of the movement had come from
the smallest' village in Flanders, only
between 300 and 400 men formed the

procession. Altogether at t t
the "Activists" certainly did not num-
ber 1500, out of a population of 6,-
500,000. . Since then,.after *the antis
Activist campaign` started all over
Flanders, their number, has greatly
e in
of
diminished. Secret meetings .A,
patriots were held. at night to take
the necessary measures in view of the
forthcoming visit of "Activist" lead-
ers. At 'Ghent they we're booed, at
Antwerp stones and •mud were thrown
at them, and for' two clays. they were
hunted from house to house: at Tirie-
mont peasants armed with whips
broke up their procession, and the
garrison of Louvain.had to be, called
out to rescue them from the hands of
an infuriated mob•,' at 'Malines they
were beaten.
w e
I am inclined to think'that the eep-
a • .n thened
+`+list movement has strengthened
t
the morale of the Belgians instead of
deteriorating it. The' pact made by
the "Activists" with the enemy has
stirred the' people's deepest energies.
"We leave lost everything," you 'hear
thein say; "we have Id`st our liberty,
our comfort, our flag, our King, to

sold within a day.
What the Belgians feel most is he-
ing cut off from ° the outer world and
being deprived of news from the army
and the Allied countries.'The only
messengers "from behind the lines"
Which • reach the Belgians from time
to time are +,.tiny pigeons. Recently,
in. the Hainault province, two work-
men found a pigeon carrying a mes-
sage asking for certain information.
They could not give the information,
but they thought than they had at last
found means of 'communicating with
some of their' relations at the front.
So . they promptly wrote to'them and
let the bird loose. Through some ac-
ciden the' pigeon fell within the Ger-
mhei lines, and the two. workmen were
condemned....to be shot. "'So we shall
die for a pigeon," the first`said. The

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon

fier, by squeezing tie juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing"three
ounces of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp, gets in,.

Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any, drug store and'

into the face, neck, arms and halide..
