Coughs and colds do not call for a, minute reoital of eymptonis as they are well known to everyone, but their dangers ere net so well known. All the most serious affections of the throat, the lungs and the bronchial tubes are, in the be- ginning, but coughs and colds. Many people when they contract a slight cold do not pay any attention to it, thinking perhaps that it will pass away in a day or two. The upshot is that before they know it, it has settled on their lungs. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that on the first sign of a cough or cold it must be gotten rid of immediately, as failure to do this may muse years of suffering from serious lung trouble. Dm WOOD'S NORWAY PINE SYRUP will cure the cough or cold and prove a preventative from all throat and haw troubles. such as bronchitis, pneumonia and cansumption, Mrs. B. B. Drace, Brighton, Ont. writes: "I ani sending you my testi- mony of your Dr. Wood's Vorway Pine Syrup, telling you what it did for my little girl. The doctor had given her up as she was, as we thought, going into a decline with the cough she had. I was told by a lady friend to try " Dr. Wood's" and wheu she had taken two bottles she was on. her feet again, and four bottles cured her," Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is the best cure for coughs and colds. It is put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; the price, 25e and 50e; manufactured only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. BELGIAN SOLDIERS' SUffilitIST, Captured Gen., Von Ruelow and a Sachet Full of Money. There is no prouder soldier in Belgium to -day than Jean Jacques Rousseau. who, at the moment of writiag, is being tended in a hos- pital at Ostend. Jean is only twenty years of age, but on his left 'breast -.he wears the Military Cross and two ribbons, one of the latter representing the Belgian Legion of Honor, King Albert having promis- ed to present him with the medal on the first oceasion possible. The deed which won the young Belgian soldier this proud distine- tion was no less than the capture, single-handed, of General Von Bue- low, sou of the famous German ex- Claaneellor, and the story of the epi- sode will, no doubt, inspire many e youthful .Belgian in years to oome. Rousseau was with a company of The men at Zelk on August 12th, when they were attacked by over- whelming numbers of Germans, and it w.a.s while I was in ambush," he - says, "that I saw about 900 yards distant •an officer studying a map: -Crawling quietly towards him. I managed to get within 400 yards; took careful aim, and fired. The officer fell, and -when I went up to him I found, to my surprise, from the satchel, writing -case, papers, etc., that it was General Von Bue- low. ., As he was only wounded in the leg I took him prisoner to Diest, riding with him on his horse. In his satehl were 165,000 francs, which was handed over to the Red Cross Society. But I retained his case and silver helmet as mementoes." Rousseau is suffering from a, kick by a horse, and is anxious to get back to the fighting line again. His great ambition is to marry an Eng- lish girl if he can. "1 love English as inuch as my awn countrymen," he says, "but thee ere many years yet to serve my country..", THOUGHTS FOR THE DAV.

Milburn's taxa -Liver Pins stiraulate the sluggish liver, clean the coated tongue, sweeten the obnoxious breath, clean away all waste and poisonous matter from the system, and prevent as well as cure all complaints arising from a liver which hcas become inactive. Constipation, sick headache, bilious headache, jaundice, heartburn, water brash, catarrh of the stomach, etc., all come from a disordered liver. Mr. 'Victor B. McNeills, Sandstone, Alta., writes: "I thought / would write and tell you of in texperierice with Milburree Laxa.-Liver Pills, as I am greatly pleaeed with the results 1 re- ceived by using them. I was troubled with sick headache for a long tune, and would get so sleepy right after I ate my dinner that I could not do any work. A friend of mine, from Toronto, visited ssc lalt :Ammer ancl he asked me to try Milburn's 1,axa-Liver Pilis e told me they had done him so inuch'good for his stomach.

French Toast.—Take bread dough and roll out about half an inch thick. Out in small apexes and drop into boiling lard. When they are a light biown take out, drain on a eieve, and 'serve hot. ' An Egg Savete—When a cake or etaeley recipe calla for two or more eggs,. use one-helf the number rel quired. After turning the egg from the shell fill the shell with reel cold water and add to the egg. Then beat until foamy. You will be sur- prised to find that your cake or cookies are an light as if the fall number of eggs had been used. Pineapple Puddmg.— Grate one pineapple, and measure by weight an equal amount of sugar, :and half as mueh butter. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, a,nd add eve eggs, one cupful of thick, sweet cream, and the pineapple. Beat the mixture thoroughly. Put the pudding in a deep pudding dish, cover it with a cruet that has been rolled a. bit thicker than for pie, and that has been pricked to let the steam eseape, and bake it. Pickled Figs. -- Wash carefully two pounds of dried figs, and soak them for an hour in cold water. Make a thick vinegar syrup of one cupful of vinegar and three cupfuls of sugar. Tie a teaspoonful eichf ground cloves, mace, and cinnamon in a thin muslin bag, add it to the syrup, and eook the syrup fifteen minutes. Drain the figs., and add them to the syrup. Let the mixture simmer slowly for thirty minutes. The result is a delicious relish that will keep in an open jar, Strawberry Pudding.— Mix three tablespoonfuls of corn flour in a little milk, add to it the yolks of four eggs and three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugat. • Stir it well foe six or seven minutes into nearly a quart of boiling milk. Stir all the time, pour into a pie. dish and let it •stand ten minutes. Take some strawberry preserve and put it over the dish on the corn flour pudding. Beat the whites of four eggs with half a teacup of sifted white sugar to a stiff froth and spread over the strawberries. Bake for twenty min- utes in a cool oven with the door open and keep in a cool place till wa,nteel. Cooking Cold eluttoit or Venison. —To three tablespoonfuls of melted butter add a little mustard, salt aud red pepper. Stir until it is pip- ing hot. Then add a full table- epoonful ofcurrant jelly. When these ingredients are well mixed, put in the meat and baste it With the eavy for a minute, then let it simmer for three or four minutes more. Add a. glassful of sweet cider, and let the mixture stand over the fire for tveci or three. minutes. This receipt is for mutton already cook- ed. For treating uncooked venison, the meat must be allowed to sim- mer until it is done before the cider is added. A New Way of Serving Turnip.— Pare and •cut in halves or quarters one or two large yellow auturan tur- nips. Have ready on the fire a good- sized saucepan filled with boiling water, to which you have added two teaspoonfuls of salt. When the turnips are washed, throw them at once into the boiling water, and keep them boiling for half an hour; then dra,w the saucepan to one side of the stove, add a large stalk of celery,—lestves and all,—and let the turnip and the eelery cook slowly together for another hail hour. When the turnips are cooked, turn theea into a colander and dram and mash thern.e.easeee ready a gravy made as follows: Put.into a sauce- pan a large handful of celery leaves; add boiling salted water, and cook the leaves until they are tender enough to mash with a fork. Add creamed: butter and flour, and stir the sauce until it is smooth. Adel the turnip, and keep the mass hot, but clo not let it boil. Dressings. Dressing for Fruit aajae..- Squeeze one-half lemon in a bowl, add one tablespoonful of Taragon vinegar, one tablespoonful of mar- aschino cherry juice, two •Lable- spoonfuls of olive oil. Stir up quick- ly and serve on fruit salad or fruit cocktail.

Mix well, and then pour in grated roquefort cheese to taste. Ritles for Making Pastey. Make it in a, told plate if possi- ble. Keep hands, utensils, and in- gredients as coo/ as posaible or the pastry becomes: heavy. Be cereful to add the right quart: tity of water, for too little will inake it heavy. Keep utensils and hands ae eool as possible, for heat makes the pastry heavy, Fiends should be washed bhor- oughly, and nothing should he touehed that van give thepastry any other odor, Shortening must always be rub- bed in lightly with the finger tipse• Bake pastry in a hot oven; this will expand the ,air in it and thus lighten the flour. Handle pastry as little and as lightly as possible, Use rolling -pin lightly and with even pressure.

The rough end of the roast can be ground up and it will make very good Hamburg steak, The water in, which fresh tongue, - mutton or ohicken lis been boiled, may be used for soup or adder to the stock pot. Do not expect good, light cakes unless the eggs are perfectly fresh and you have good, sweet butter. If eggs crack while cooking in the saucepan, as often happens in cold weather, a spoonful of salt will pre- vent the white from coming out, Disagreeable eye -smarting Can be avoided if the onion is peeled from the root end. Afterward, rub the hands with salt and washto take away the smell. Parsley leaves re- move the odor from the breath, „ It is quite possibla to fry potatoes whole, and not Eta "chips." When they are nearly boiled, but not cracking, put them in a stewpan with a piece of hatter or beef drip- ping: shake them about to prevent burning until they are brown and crisp; drain and serve. If the children are fond of candy and you fear bad results, do not allow them to have it just before a meal, but be liberal with the sweets right after they have eaten a hearty meal, They will not eat so much, nor will it do them harm, if this method is followed. WIFIEDE INDIANS EXCEL.' "Fearful" So Look at and "Terrible to Fight." cRelated by a bombardier of the Royal Horse Artillery who has late- ly returned from Flanders.) We were able to do some great work. There is no finer sight in the world than to see a, battery of Horse Artillery going into action at a gallop. We are thought slow if we take more 'than 30 second ff in getting to work after the signal to unlimber. On one occasion we were firing continuously for several hours, and used 800 shells. We were "dead on" that time, and must have ac- counted for hundreds. One of our guns was dropping sheble near a gap in a hedge which the Germans were trying to rush. It was excit- ing to watch a score of their in- fantry time after time make a dash for the gap, but never succeed in reaching it. I saw through glasses a troop of our /eavalry wiped out when trying to rush a trench on foot. It was a plucky charge, but quite hopeless. Two men only reached the to of the ridge. One was shot down, and the single survivor, after bending over his comrade to see if he were dead, turned and commenced to walk down the slope. He had not gone far before he also fell. • It is wonderful bow indifferent our men .become to fire and the con- stant death around them. It is a little terrifying at first, but that does not last. It is when we are out of action, but ,still under fire, that we feel it most. There is time then to think of things, and we do not have the comfort .of hitting back. I saw a, good. deal of the Indian troops out, there. The Pathans and the Sikhs are fearful fellows to look aA, and they are terrible fight- ers. They are awfully proud of themselves, and particularly of their arms, which they keep as clean a.s new pins. It is funny to see them squatting in the mud dust- ing specks of dirt off their rifles. • They are great at close fighting, where they have the advantage over our own men, who sometimes get too dose for bayonet work and have to use ,their fists. I3ut the Ghurkas jute push the German bayonets aside, and then leap in with their knives, Their night work is terribly de- moralizing to the enemy. When they eharge they sweep everything before them.

Verse 1, Then Jerulohaal, who is Gideon.—See ehapter 6, verse 32. Gideon was called Jerubbaal, which means, "Let -Baal contend." The spring of Harod.e-That ia, the spring, or place of trembling or fear. In verse 3 Jehovah says to Gideon, "Proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, •Whosoever is fearful end trembling, let him re- turn and depart from Mount Gil- ead." Practically every proper noun in Hebrew, wh,ether it be the name of a person or of a. place, is indicative of something particular about the person or the place. • The spring pf Harod has been undoubt- edly located by modern exploration. There were three springs, or wells, lying in the valley of Jezreeh One lay by Sezreel itself, ancl one out upon the open plain. The third was overshadowed by the precipi- tous banks of Gilboa. The first two were controlled by the. Midianites. The third, the well of Hared, now called 'Ain Jalud, was commanded by the Israelites, 2. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, the people that are with thee are too many.—Jehovah is • made to speak again. If so large a, body of men should have defeated the enemy, they xrieglet have breasted themselves and &lid, "We were strong enough on our own •ac- count." Gideon saw thisf and ap- preciated its importance. But, as a true -military leader, he saw what was of more significance: that be- cause of the nature of the battle- field so Large a number of men would be in their own way and ex- ceedingly difficult for him to dis- • pose properly. 3. Fearful and trembling.—Doubt- less many of the thirty-two thousand 'were fearful and trembling. At any rate we read that "there returned of the people twenty and two thou- sa,nd ; and -there remained ten thou- sand -I.' 4. Bring them down unto the war ter.—A further weeding out was necessary, and therefore a. test was put to the ten thousand. The well of Herod was over against the Midianites. From their battlefield they could see what the Israelites were doing. In fact, the ten thou- sand were in danger of being pouneed upon at the well, as prac- tically the whole position of Gideon wars exposed. It was necessary, therefore, for Gideon to be sure of his men. He could only use. those who would appreciate their danger. Strength and bravery were not the only qualities which Gideon needed in his men at this time. It was not a question of mas,s-movement, of simply pouring men into the ranks of the enemy; it was, primarily, a question of individual initiative of acting upon the moment with jUdg- ment and clear-sightedness. Hence a small, army, even a very small army of men, of men who could be left to their ewn judgment was a better fighting force for Gideon than a large army, the individual membere of which were not able to do their gym thinking but needed to rely aron Gideon to •think for them. The men whostood the test which Gideon put to them were thinkers as well as fighters. Eaoh one had • in him mit only deep- seated and indomitable bravery and courage, but also the power to think cieettrly in an ernergencY and to act promptly. • 5. So he brought clown the people unto the water.—The soldier who bowed down upon his kneen to drink necessarily could see only what was under him; he ceuld not see what was in front of him. 6. The number of them that lap- ped , . was three hundred.—Only three hundred out of ten thousaad realized the oecessity of keeping themselves in instant readinees either to repel an attack or to make on sl au ght up on the ee Amy • These were the men Gideon wetted, TO. And he divided the three hun- dred men into; three eompatliee,— . Other Israelite generale used this same formation in battle. (See 1 Sam. 11. 11; 2 Sam. 18. 2.) 17. And he said unto them, Look on me and do likewise.—Gideon was rely to etand as much as anel more than any one of his men. 18. Wheu I blow the trumpet . then blow ye . . , and say, For Je- hovah and for Gideon.—From time immemorial soldiers have gone into the fight with a battle -cry. There are men living to -day who can tell of the awful :error whieh struck in- to their hearts as the enemy came upon them with terrific yelling and <31.Y20in. °nd the three companies blew the trumpets.—The Midianites had no idea. of a night attack, and when .the were awakened and heard the noise of battle and saw the flaring lights, they undoubtedly thought that a. great host was upon them, and they fled precipitously. • 23. And the m -en of Israel were gathered together.—When the en- emy was put to flight. Gideon brought hp all the forces he could muster out of the different tribes. Now he conld Use men, as the enemy was in the open, aild the more deci- sive would be his victory. It is interesting to note that in the later border wars between Te - reel and their neighbors there is no further mention of the Midianites. Gideon with one fell swoop effee- tieely put an end to those peace dis- turbers from egress the Jordan. Gideon himiself did not want war, but he realized that the militarism of his country's neighbors could be destroyed only by the force of arms. B U SINE S S SIDE. OF AR MY. Trains ed Men of France Engaged in the Work. What might be called the civilian administration of the French army is probably the most gigantic busi- ness proposition the world has ever seen. It is as though all the rail- ways of the United States with their 1,668,809 employes, all the steel and iron industries with their 260,762 employes and all the quarries, coal mines and metal mines with their 1,005,281 workers, were all under the direction of one office. The French War Office, through its civilian administration, must as- semble, transport and distribute food for nearly 4,000,000 men. It must supply the men with transpor- tation from one part of the fighting line to another, the front to the in- terior and from the interior to the front in their periods of recupera- tion. It must provide clothing, medical attendance, .dentists and every variety of service necessary to keep a man in, health. Besides all this, it must, look out for the families of the men at the front, supplying 'their wives with the equivalent ot 25 cents a day, and in case of children with • the equivalent of 10 cents a day, The smooth working of these im- mense business transactions is only possible because the work is distilbuted among the trained railway managers, • steamship •directors, great corporation officials and. busi- ness men of capacity, who, al- though they are wearing uniforms, ha,ve been trained,and prepared by civil life for this sort of work in war time. • Some thousands of the most competent business men of France have been organized into this supply side of the war. Many political leaders, eenators, deputies; ex -presidents of the Chamber and men prominent in scientific and intellectual life have been called upon to help in this gigantic work.

The settled population of Egypt is only one dialf 'the extent of New Brunswick, but its population is about one-third greater than the population of all Canada. British Rule. For almost the third of a century Egypt has practically enjoyed Brit- ish rule, the fruits of which are now being enjoyed by the people of,the Ancient Land. Taxation has been reduced, law and order maintained, justice administered, industries fos- tered, great public works Con- structed, and a general uplift of the people brought about. Since the blighting effects of Turkish oppres- sion a,nd corruption have been re- moved. the people of Egypt have enjoyed in peace the fruits of their labor. The greater part of those fruits are agricultural, for fully two-thirds of the oopulation are on the land—the fellaheen, or small cultivators. A cleverly devised scheme of financial assistance has enabled these • cultivators to im- prove their condition. They receive advances frotn the Agricultural Bank up to the equivalent of about $3.,500.4 tha loan being limited .tp fifty per cent. of the selling value of the land. To this policy is due to a large extent the deyelopment in re - tent years of the country's com- merce and industry, and a steadily increasing pr.osperity. ^ _ Blessings From Britiele. The cultivated area, can never be extended beyond the region capable of being watered by the Nile, but this region has been enlarged by ir- rigation systems that are wonders of engineering skill and workman- ship—blessings honferred upon Egypt by her British governors. .
