Ry Using
oFt.-w000ws ,
NORWAY PINE SYRUP.
A cold, if neglected, will sooner or Wee
develop into some sort, of lung trouble,
so we would advise you that on the first
sign of a cold or cough you get rid of it
immediately. Per this purpose we know
of nothing better than Dr, Wood'
Norway Pine Syrup, This preparation
has been on the market for the past
twenty-five years, and those who have
lista' it have nothing but words of praise
for its efficacy,
Mrs. H. N. Oi11, Truro, N,S,, writes:
"Last January, 191.3, I developed an
a.weel cold, and it hung on to nie for so
long I was afraid it would turn into
consumption. I would go to bed nights,
and could not get any sleep at all for the
choking feeling in my throat and lungs,
and sometimes I would cough. till I
would turn black in the face, A friend
came to see me, and told me of your
remedy, Dr. Wood'e Norway Pine Syrup.
I got a bottle of it, and after 1, had taken
it I could seesa great change for the better,
so I got another, and when I had taken
the two bottles ,my.cough was all gone.
and Ihavenever had an ettack of it since,
and that is now a year ago."

Hints for the Home
Cola, aVeallee Breakfaets,
if breakfast is merely a, repast of
halls arid coffee, then it is much the.
same in winter and eurnmer. But if
it cons:late:of any other dishes, it
should :clatiege with the season. The
school winter breakfast, for
iestarece, aho.uld he of a, differont
sort., fr.ortihthe breakfast it eals. in
the ,sianme.r.. If 4 walk or other e-
che is taken before sehool begins,
the breakfast Nhould be of a rather
substa.ntial order. Oatmeal, hom-
iny and rice are good eereals for
this breakfast, A baked apple or a
raw one or an orange can precede
the .cereal. Afterwards crisp but-
tered toast and a.eup of cocoa, not
too rich with came,. but made en-
tirely' of milk, can be eaten. This
breakfast is substantial enough for
any child, A poached or coddled
egg ean occasionally be substituted
for it if cereal is not liked by the
child. The egg lare.akfast, too, is
more &liftable for a, child inclined to
fatness, for .cereal and the milk or
cream eaten with it are somewhat
fattening.
For the adult who eats more than
rolls.. and coffee for breakfast, ho
j-
ney or marmalade or jam are often
-relished instead -of fresh fruit for,
the' wintee'breakfaet. One ()Mabee
s*eets, with toast; -coffee and
died egg, rounds out a satisfaatory
breakfast.
Butter. should be generously in-
duaged in at -breakfast time by any-
one who is immediately going out
into the cold. Bacon, broiled or
served with or without eggs, is an-
other good breakfast dish in cold
weather. In feet, any digestible fat
may be eaten. Bacon served with
fish makes fish an ideal winter
breakfast dish.
Boiled rioe, boiled until it is light
and flaky, eaten with thick ore=
and a bit of nutmeg, can well be the
staple dish at breakfast for grown-
up or child. The fats in the cream
supplement the good qualities of the
rice in just the right manner.
The. :charm of the winter brea.k-
East lies in its heat. Lukewarm -cof-
fee, cold toast and an egg that is
growing stiff and eold are bad
enough in suremer •' in winter they
are intolerable. A percolater is
ideal for coffee -making, as it fur-
nishes coffee always fresh and pip-
ing hot. Coffee can be pouredfrom
the pot in which it was made into a
china pot heated with boiling wa-
ter or into cups heated in the same
way, or it can be served in the me-
tal pot in whieh it was cooked or in
a silver pot. Toast can be kept hot„,
in a ehafiag dish blazer, over water
lett bubbljng by an alcohol flame
Eggs can be put in a emall and neat
little aluminum dish in boiling wa-
ter and brought to the table in this
dish, to be taken out when they
have reached the desired stage.
Soup Secrets.
Soup cannot be made in a hurry.
All remnants o.E meat, bones, ba-
con and pieces of every description
should be used to make stock, which
is the foundation of all soups.
Stock must be frequently skimmed
during the early stage of the pro-
ceedings.
Never allow stock or soup to cool
in the saucepan. The liquid should
be poured off and strained into an
earthenware bowl. -
The bones should be boiled for
two or three hours and all the scum
removed before the veeetables are
added, which el ild be simmered
until te ealeaegjeae
Useful liints,•
A letter sealed with the white of
an egg can never be steamed open.
Put an apple in the tin, box with
the cake, it wial keep the cake
moist.
If soot falls 1 the carpet, sprin-
kle thickly salt before sweep-
ing up..
In making salad dressing, eream
and melted butter may be, used in
place of oil.
Corks may be nude airtight and
wate-rtight by , leeeping them im-
mersed in oil for five minutes.

PAST HUMAN RECOGNITION.
Prof. von Leyden Says No German
Will Associate With English.
"The English have placed them-
selves beyond the pale of human re-
cognition.
"They have raised the banner of
brutality and crime.
"They are utter barbarians and
as Rich are not fit to be admitted to
civilized German eirelee."
So writes Prof. Yen Leydee in the
Frankfurter Zeitung. He continues
in the same vein:
"When peace has been restored
not a self-respecting German will
ever consent to remain in any room
of which an Englishman is the occu-
pant. ' If the German cannot eject
the Englishman he will himself leave,
the room.
"We cannot be expected to
breathe the same polluted air as our
deadliest foes who fell Upon us from
the rear and in the dark.
"There can be no rest or repose
for any honest German till the Bri-
tish empire has been swept into the
oblivion of past history."
Having- dealt with Russia arid
France in similar trenchant fashion,
Pref. von Leyden 'concludes:
"Finally there are the neutral
nations. Most of thein side in sym-
pathy with the English, Russians
and French; most oh them enter-
tain hostile feelings gainst Ger-
many. •
"Let us ban them f m our homes

they do not merit German appro-
val.

Lesson XI. Saul Gains His King-
doin.-1 'Sam. 11. Golaen Text,
Prov. 16. 32.
Verse 1. Nahash the Ammonite-
"Nahash" means "snake ." He lees
king of the Animonites, as we read
in 1 Sam: 12. 12'; 2 Sam. 10. 1, 2;-
17. 27, In 2 Sam. 17 25 we read that
Abigail was the daughter of Na-
ha:eh, the 'sister of Zeruiala In 1
Citron. '2. 15, 16 Zeruiah is mention-
ed -as one of 'the sisters of David.
In 2 Sam. 10. 'e we learn `that Na -
hash had be -en kind to David, an
in 2 Sam. 17. 27 that Shobi, the
hoisexile.fNahtteh, was .frienelly to Davia
in
Jabesbegilead-a-See Juclg. 21. 5.
The Amehonite.s were envious of Is-
rael because the latter possessed.
Gilead. See judg. 10. 6-18. 11.
2. That all your right eyes be put
out -To putout the right eye would
not only be a disasteous physical
handic.ap,but would bring exceed-
ing great reproach upon the chil-
dren :of Israel who were thus in-
flicted. See Num. 16; 14; Judg. 16.
21 ; Prov, 30. 17.
3, The elders of Jabesh said unto
hini-Theaivil government of Israel
was in the hands of the elders. See
Jude,. 8. 14-16; 11. 51f; also Deut.
19. 12.- .
4. Ther i came the messengers to
Giheah of SauL-This does not
mean that they came to Cribeah be-
cause Saul was there. They simply
happened to come to the place of
Said's residence. They did not
know that he was to he the future
king. Saul, it will be remembered,
had said nothing about his anoint-
ing. In fact, he refrained from an-
awering a direct question of his un-
cle. See 1 Sam. 10, 14-16,
All the people lifted up their
.voice and wept -Great grief among
the Orientals is expressed in loud
wailing, See Gen 27. 38; Judg. 2.
4; 21. 2. The 'crying of grown m.en.
in Palestine to -day strikes the visi-
tor as singular. It is not at all un-
usual to come •upon men and boys
weeping as a consequence of failure
to get what they want.
5. Behold, Saul came following
the oxen out of the field -He had
been plowing and was just return-
ing. He •happened to came upon
the messengers.
. Saul said, What aileth the people
that they weep? --He had heard
nothing about the occuerente nt
Jabesiagilead. As the people were.
weeping, he naturally wauld ask the
reason why.
6. The Spirit of God came might-
ily upon Saul when he heard those
words, arid his anger was kindled
greatly -The Spirit. of Go -d evi-
denced itself in gee -at energy and
power, He who was possessed of
this Spirit was ready for great
things. See jadge 8. 10;6. 34; 11.

7took a yoke OE oxen and
cutthem in pieces -Oxen were valu-
able to the agricultural people, even
as asses were. Saal's quick under-
standing of the :situation -showed
hitn how best hes could briag the
people to rally aebahtt him. The
warning Could not fail to have ita

Sent them bhallithout all the bor-
ders of Israel. -This was a usual
Way of apprising bile children of
Israel of any calamity or stirring
event.
Whosoever cometa not forth after
Saul and after Saahuel- Samuel
still was mighty in ;the land. His
influence 'would go far in ;showing
the children of Israel not only what
the emergency was, but what the
chances o.f success were. Saul was
tinituoWn as a leader. Samuel was
a t:hO,fs'n prephet. SanntePs name,
erefore, gave weight to the sunie
trio.ne Which Saul sent forth.
The dread of Jehovah fell on the
people, and they came out ag one,
.man -The fear of Jehovah did not
cause weakness; it rather inspired
strength; When Jehovah called,
the children must obey. They fear-
ed him because if they were dieo-
bedient, and he exeeeised his an-
ger, the result would be worse than
any evil whie.h could come to them
in battle.
8. He numbered them -It would
seem as though they were numbered
in order to be sure that no man was
lacking. See Judge 21. 9, where the
:people were numbered seemingly to
discover whether any of the inhabi-
tants of Jabeslagilead were pre-
Bez ek was perhaps a district ea,
ea than a town or -city. See judg.
. 4, 5.
9. To -morrow, by the time the
sun is het, ye shall have deliverance
-This would be toward noon. From
Bezek to Jabesh-gilead was abo,
night's march. See 1. Sam. 31, 12.
"To -morrow,," doubtless, was the
last of the seven days.
10. Therefore the men of jabesh
said to Naliesla To -morrow we will
come .out unto you, and ye shall do
with us' all that se.emeth good unto
you -They did not intimate at what
time of the day theaawoald aothe:'
As. they lib.d the whole of the day, it
was not necessary to designate the
.hour. 'They let the messengers of
Nahash believe that they were _oeo-
ing to accede to the terms of Na -
hash:

Saul put the 'people in three com-
pel -nes -They started to march the
night before. so evidently the army
was not divided until they had coine
near, to the proposed scene of bat-
tle.
They came into the midst of the
camp in the morning watch -The
camp means, of eo-urse, the camp ef
the enemy. The morning watch was
tbe last of the three watches of four
hours each, into which the night was
divided. The time, therefore: was
between two o'clock and six o'elock
in the morning. Notice, again, that.
the Israelites struck the blow at, an
exceeding early hour in the morn-
ing, and compare Gideon'e attack
in judg. 7. 19.
. Smote the Ammonites until the
heat of the day -The battle evident-
ly lasted many hours.
It came to pass that they that re-
mained were scattered, to that not
two of them were left tegethei-leot
only were meet of the Aminoniees
killed, but those who escaped es-
caped singly.
Saul's' delivery of the men Of Ja-
es ead -waa held in grateful
em o ry . When later he met de-
feat in battle, the Philistines fas-
tened his headless body to the well
at -Beth-Shan. When the inhabi-
tants of Sabesh-gilead heard this,
"the valiant men arose and went all
niaht. aad took the body of Saul
and the bodies of bis sons from the
wall of Beth -Shan," and heeled
their banes !under the ta,m,arisk-
tree in Jabeeh. and fasted seven
days." See 1 Sam. 31. 7-13.
72, The people .said unto Samuel,
Who is he that said, Shall Saul
reign over us7 bring the men, that
we may put them to death -This has
reference to 1 Sam. 10,- 27. '
13. There shall not a man be pub
to death thisday; for te-day Jeho-
vah hath wronght deliverauce in
Israele-Saul, first of all, gives the
credit of the tictery to Jehovah
and. secondly, shows keen judg-
ment in not, allowing any Man to :be
sought ant and annoyed. Had be
permitted this, even these who
would Iiave been .leaderee in the
eetuali and killing would afterward
have turned against Saul for hav-
ing 'permitted it. S PI% 2 Sate. 19.

sense on th,e part Of David.
14: Renew the kingdom .- The
kingdom had been eztahliehed when
Samuel man ted Saul, but ther
had ,hee.n no publie proclamation.
Samuel aid not want to diseredit
the first ,a,ct in the establishinent of
the kingdom, aithough that aet was
a private one. Now when the fact
of the kingship is to be publicly pro-
claimed, he simply says, we will
"renew," or make public, what has
already been dame.

If Germany's , submarines have

they have even inspired fear, those
facts do not appear in the public_

As a'matter of fact, England af-

larly when the ultimate end of the
war is coneidered. It is urged that
all the submarines,Germany has or
