The annual production of 'The Mee - ;lab" in London at Christmas time, s'itlt a great churns and orchestra, nat. wally aroused the national pride of :he Germans, who felt that the great nester belonged by birth to them. Berlin Grst and then other German :flies began to give Handel festivals m the London Ilan, and soon the works of other composers were added :o the festival lists, So that at the beginning of the nine- :eentb century "several organizations levoting their energies to the produc- :ion of any great work, whether choral 1r purely instrumental, sprang into ex. stence in Germany.

"I FEEL LIKE A NEW BEING" "FRUIT-A.TIVES"-Brought The Joy Of Health After Two Years' suffering MADAM LAPLANTE 35 St. Rose St., Montreal. April 4th. "For over two years I was sick and miserable. I suffered from constant Headaches, and had Palpitation of the Heart so badly that Ifeared' would die. There seemed to be a lump in my stomach and the Constipation was dreadful. I suffered from Pain in the Back and Kidney Disease. I was treated by a physician for a year and a half and he did me no good at all. I tried " Fruit -a -tines" as,a last resort. After using three boxes, I was greatly improved and twelve boxes made me well.

SO EASY e• So easy to say what another would do, So easy to settle his cares, So easy to say what another would And dispose of the burden he bears. It is easy to bid him be brave and strong, And to make all his shortcomings known; But, oh, it's so hard when the care and the wrong And the dangers we face are our own. It is easy to stand in another man's place When our comforts of life are assured, And the sting of the rain beating sharp in our face By him must be bravely endured. It is easy to tell him the path he must take And to bid him to laugh at his care, But, oh, it's so hard when it's our hearts that ache And we have the buxdens to bear. We all know the things that another should do, His faults are like books on our shelves, We can ponder them over and read and review, But we haven't a book on ourselves. We can settle the other man's troubles each day, His griefs we calmly discuss, It is easy to sweep all his troubles away, But we can't do the same thing for us. The need of another it's easy to see, When our wants are all satisfied, And bold and courageous it's easy to be When it isn't our souls that are tried. But, oh, it's so hard when we're stumbling along To keep ourselves steadfast and true; It is easy to tell some one else to be strong, It's easier to talk than to do. -Edgar A. Guest. Eczema on Baby's Ear Mrs. F. Clarke, Belmont, Man., writes: -"My baby had eczema on her ear. The soar was very bad and nothing seemed to do her much good, Hearing of the remarkable cure Dr. Chase's Ointment was making, we sent for some, and after the third application the sore began to heal. I am glad to say that it is quite well now and we give the credit to Dr. Chase's Oint- ment. We cannot recommend this preparation too highly. MIND-READING EXTRAORDINARY. A simple little "mind-reading" trick that you can do with a pencil and a watch will greatly mystify anyone who does not know the secret. Ask your victim to think of one of the numerals on the watch dial, and for every time that you tap the crystal with the pencil to add one to his chosen number. At the tap that brings the amount in his mind to twenty your pencil will rest over the hour number that he selected. The trick is very simple. For the first feven taps strike at random any of the numbers on the dial, but at the eight tap strike 12; at the ninth, 11; at at the tenth, 10, and so on round, back- ward, until the other person announces that he has reached 20 in his count. If he has followed Instructions, the pencil will then rest upon the chosen number, because if he chose 12 -the highest number that he could take - eight taps will bring it to 20, and your pencil, according to instructions, will then be on 12, and any other number selected on the dial will be less than 12 by just the amount that, when the chooser reaches 2G, will cause the pen- cil taps to shift backward from 12 to the number the other person chose. ASK MEN OF CANADA LIST OF 24 QUESTIONS Lieut. -Col. Henry Brock, Director of National Service for Toronto district, Last night stated that the Postoffice Department would gather as soon as was possible the imformation sought by the Director -General of National Service, and that the fac-simile of the card to be issued to every male be- tween the ages of eighteen and sixty- five years, with many questions, which appeared in a Montreal paper, was substantially the card which the Director -General had submitted to him for his opinion. Col. Brock says that the census is purely for industrial purposes, and not to aid recruiting. Each male will receive a card and be asked to return it to the Postoffice Department. If it is not received within the ten days the Postmaster will be expected to ascertain the reason why it has not been returned. •The questions are: 1. What is your full name? 2. How old are you? 3. Where do you live? Province? 4. Name of city, town, village or postoffice, street, number. 5. In what country were you born? 6. In what country was your father born? 7. In what country was your mother born? 8. Were you born a British subject? 9. If not, are you naturalized? 10 How much time have you lost in the last twelve months from sickness? 11. Have you full use of your arms? 12. Of your legs? 13 Of your sight? 14. Of your hearing? 15. Which are you -married, single or a widower? 16. How many persons besides your- self do you- support? 17. What are you working at for a living? 18. Whom do you work for? 19. Have you a trade or profession? 20. If so, what? 21. Are you working now? 22. if not, why? 23. Would you be ,willing to change your present work for other necessary work at the same pay during the war? 24. Are you willing if your railway fare is paid to leave where you now live and go to some other plats in Canada to do such work. HOW'S f111S?

American banks have placed their order for delivery be- fore Christmas. Designers of the dies for the new pieces had in mind the difficulty en- countered in stacking coins now in circulation and have moulded them to pile more easily. The half dollar design bears a back- ground of the Stars and Stripes with Liberty, standing full length occupying the foreground. Sun's ray and branches of oak and laurel are also shown. On the other side an eagle with wings un- folded, is perched on a mountain crag. Near by is a mountain pine sapling. The new 25 -cent piece emphasizes preparedness for peace. Liberty is shown in a full length figure, front view, stepping toward the gateway of the country. On the wall is "In God We Trust." The left arm of Liberty, bearing a shield, is raised in an attitude of protection, while the right band holds an olive branch. An eagle with wings extended occupies the reverse side. Simplicity marks the design of the new dime. Liberty, with a winged cap, rods and battleaxe, is shown, while above this blossoms a full foliaged branch of olive. Adolph A. Weinman, sculptor, de- signed the dime and half dollar, while Herman A. MacNeil, designed the quarter. A thin paste of wood ashes and lemon juice will renew tarnished brass. If applied immediately salt will ab- sorb ink spots from clothing. "Gas helmets" are used by farmers in Lancaster county, Pa., to protect them from dust of threshing. Decerl:tber, 7 19 t 6 OUR LUNG" E DELICATE Overwork, lack of fresh air, mental strain or any sickness disturbs their functions. Stubborn coughs tear and wear the sensitive lung tissues. y, � � - �'• • , ",;, v`trr �� KCS; [ :w tl � � :,iy{(.J should be taken promptly for hard coughs, unyielding colds, or when strength is lowered from any cause. its high nutritive value creates resistive force to ward off sick- ness. The rich cod liver oil improves the quality of the blood to relieve the cold and the glycerine is soothing and healing to the lung tissues. Refuse Alcoholic Substitutes Which Exclude the Cod Lever Oil, ,a COOKING POTATOES WITH THE SKINS ON While boiling vegetables the nutrients soluble in water may be disolved out and lost, says Conservation. The nutrients liable to be lost include protein compounds, mineral constituents and sugars. The Minnesota and Connecticut Experiment Stations have conducted interesting experiments in connection with this subject. The first experi- ments were made with potatoes, which were boiled under different cgnditions, and the loss determined. When the potatoes were peeled and soaked for several hours before boiling, the loss amounted to 52 per cent. of the total nitrogenous matter and 38 per cent. of the mineral substance; when the potatoes were peeled and put into cold water, which was then brought to the boiling point as soon as possible, the loss amounted to about 16 per cent. of the nitrogenous matter or protein and 19 per cent. of the mineral matter; potatoes peeled and placed at once into boiling water lost only about 8 per cent. of the nitrogenous matter, although the Toss of mineral matter was about the same as in 'the preceding case; when, however, potatoes were cooked with the skills on, there was but a trifling loss of matter, either nitrogen- ous or mineral. In the baking of potatoes there ie practically no loss other than the very little which may escape in the moisture given off. To obtain the highest fo;td vaihe, potatoes should not be peeled. When. peeled there is less loss by puttitig directly into hot water and boiling quickly. Even then the loss is consider- able. When potatoes are peeled and soaked in cold water the loss is very great. It has also been found that con- siderable losses occur in the boiling of other vegetables, such as carrots, beets and parsnips. The loss in the mineral matter is serious. as vegetables furnish mineral materials from which teeth and bone are formed. Vegetables should be boiled in large pieces and in as small a quantity of water as possible. To prevent the serious Loss which occurs when the water in which vege- tables have been boiled is tbrown out, the water should be boiled down and used in the making of the sauces which are to be served with the vegetables.
