BEFORE the war there were
five million, five hundred wo-
men wage earners in Great
Britain; to -day there are Bald to be
over ten million. Five million men
have enlisted for active service,
and a woman has taken the place
of every able-bodied man who might
have been engaged in peaceful oc-
cupations. England has never been
-so busy a manufacturing and indus-
;xrial country as she is in 1916, but
ethis would never have been possible
if women had not stepped into the
breach.
In Canada there is not the same
supply of surplus available women,
so that in this respect Canada has
not experienced so great a revolu-
tion in industrial life, but many
new occupations are being opened
to Canadaian women, and the de-
mand for women workers in factor-
ies and in the great industrial life
of the railways is steadily on the
increase. If Sir Robert Borden is

to secure his 500,000 Canadian sol-
diers, 100,000 women must tempor-
arily step into the shoes of men
so that the latter may be released
for service, as the limit of available
men seems almost to be reached.

some places as Station Agents with
satisfaction to their employers.

are surprised to find women ticket

elevator attendants, women ' as

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION
To the Editor:—
One of the benefits we may expect
from Prohibition of the liquor traffic
will be improved Hotel accommodation,
and it cannot come any too soon.
Commercial travellers tell strange tales
of many hotels in licensed towns, but
they are high in their praises of most of
the hotels in local option towns. One who
has travelled over the same district
for 23 years tells me of the great
improvement he observed in hotels
wherever local option came and the
most thorough investigation confirms
these statements. He says that charges
are a little higher in bar -less hotels but
it is worth the money.
When a hotel keeper says that he
will have to close when prohibition
comes in, it is an admission that he is
not a hotel keeper at all, but a saloon-
keeper. There are too many such doing
nothing but harm. It was shown in the
legislature that out of 110 hotels in
Toronto there were only 30 tha
entertained travellers and in othe
cities the proportion is worse. It i
entirely unfair to boarding houses an
temperance houses that do not se
liquor.
The question is sometimes asked
"Can the hotel business be made t
pay without the bar?" The answer i
that it has already been done. Princ
Edward Island has been uncle
prohibition for over ten years and th
hotels are reported to be satisfactory
and prosperous. In Montreal, Toronto,
and other places, good temperance hotels
have been conducted for many years.
I know because 1 have stopped at
them. The last time I was in Owen
Sound, I stopped at a hotel that might
satisfy the most fatidious and I am told
that the Owen Sound Hotels are paying
good dividends. But before locai
option came to Owen Sound, a woman
had demonstrated that a barless hotel
could be made to pay and pay well in
competition with the hotel that sells
poisonous liquors. In two-thirds of the
municipalities of Ontario the hotels do
not sell liquor and they seem to be
doing very well. On the other side
of the line there are 18 States and
hundreds of other municipalities that
have barless hotels and they seem to be
doing well. Maine has had barless
hotels for over sixty year and Kansas for
over thirty years. Then why ask, can
hotels be made to pay without a bar?
Doubtless Charges have been increasd
in a good many small towns, but what
kind of a roan is he who wants the

Kidney DIaease Overcome
Mr. James Prouse, Cattle dealer,
Sheho, Sask., writes:—"For about ten
years I suffered from Kidney disease,
at times I was bad with backache, and
derangements of the digestive organs.
During that time I was treated by four
different doctors. One day I read in
Dr. Chase's Almanac about the Kidney -
Liver Pills and began to use them. Al-
together I used six boxes. All I need
say is that I feel well flow and attribute
this condition to the use of Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills."

Growl, and the way looks dreary;
Laugh, and the path is bright,
For a welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sigh, and you rake in nothing;
Work, and the prize is won;
For the merry man
With the backbone can
ley nothing be outdone, yes.., ':_;

Sbirlig and defeat is sure,
For there's no chance
Of delivance
With the busy, hustling throne.
Sing, and the world's harmonious;
Grumble, and things go wrong;
And all the time
You are out of rhyme
With the busy, hustling throng.

EDIBLE BIRDS' NESTS.
They Are a Delicacy In the Orient and
Bring High Prices.
An important item in the export
trade of Siam consists of edible nests
of swifts, Or swiftlets, as they are also
called. The principal markets for this
trade are China, Hongkong and Singa-
pore. In Hongkong, it is said, the de-
mand often exceeds the supply, and
prices range from $15 to $25 per pound,
according to quality.
The first nests constructed in the sea-
son, wbicb are composed of pure sa-
liva, are held superior for eating pur-
poses: They are gathered, on comple-
tion before the eggs are Isid.
The birds then build again, and the
second nests, in which the saliva is
mixed with rootlets, grass, etc„ and
often shows traces of blood from the
efforts made to produce saliva, are also
taken on completion.
A third nest is then constructed of
extraneous substances cemented to-
gether and the whole fastened to the
wall by a little saliva, the flow of
whleb seems to be practically ex-
hausted. The birds are allowed to tear
their young in these nests, which are
afterward destroyed by the nest gath-
erers, so as to compel the construction
of fresh nests the following year.
Edible nests of swiftlets are found in
the Malay archipelago, Australia and
many of the Pacific islands. In north-
ern Borneo certain caves inhabited by
these swiftlets produce $2.5.000 worth
of nests every year and show uo tlimin
union in the quantity, despite system
stir robbery for seven geueratious.—

Churches In Colonial Days.
The New England churches in eolo-
alal days were all unheated. In Miss
Earle's book on "Dome Life In Colo-
nial Days" we find that few of these
places of worship had stores until the
middle of the last century. The chill
of the damp places, never heated from
autumn to spring and closed and dark
Throughout the week. was hard for
every one to bear. In some of the log
built meeting houses fur bags made of
wolf skins were nailed to the seats,
and in the winter church attendants
thrust their feet in them. Dogs, too,
were permitted to enter the meeting
bouse and lie on their master's feet.
Dog whippers or dog pelters were had
to control or expel them when they
became unruly or unbearable.
A Unique Specimen.
"I once knew an eccentric man,"
stated old Festus Pester, "who when
he bad got the desired number on
the telephone did not demand fiercely,
'Whiz ziss?' Instead be invariably
said civilly, 'This is John J. Poppen-
dick, wishing to speak to Mr. Buck -
over.' His funeral was the largest ever
held 10 the neighborhood where he had
resided, and thereat strong men broke
down and wept like children, being
convinced that they would never again
see his like."
Velocity of the E=arth.
The velocity of the earth on its own
axis exceeds, it is estimated, 1,000
miles an hour. The velocity of the
earth around the sun is calculated to
be 86,000 miles an hour, and the veloc-
ity of the moon is calculated to be
2,273 miles an hour.
Squelching the Grouch.
"Samanthy, why don't you stop Mary
Anne from giggling?"
"Oh, let her giggle while .4. can.
She'll marry some day if she lives, and,
heaven knows, she'll quit the habit
mighty quick."
