A cold, if neglected, will soon.er or later levelop into some sort of lung trouble, so we would advise you that on t1ie. first sign of a eold or cough you get rid of it immediately. For this purpose we know of nothing better thau Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. This preparation has been on the market for the past twenty-five years, and those who have used it have nothing but words of praise for its efficacy. Mrs. H. N. OW, Truro, N.S., writes: "Last January, 1913, I developed au awful cold, and it hung on to me 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 feeliug in my throat and lungs, and sometimes I would cough till I would tam black in the face. A friend came to see me, and told me of your remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. vet a bottle a it, and after I had taken st could see a great change for dm better, so I got another, and when I had taken the two bottles my cough was all gone, ktid I have -never had an attaele of it Since, and that is now a year ago."

A native Indian writer, a Mr. Mitre, in a letter to an English newspa.p.er, tells of the kind of deli- cacies that the British Indian troops at the front particularly en- joy. The principal things are ghee, areca nut, betel. and Indian to- bacco. To English readers, says the Manchester Guardian, ghee will be the most mysterious of these eommodities. It is a kind of clari- fied batter. made from curdled milk—in India usually from buffalo milk. The curdled milk is churned into butter : then the butter .stands for a few &ye until it begins to t•urri rancid. Then it is boiled, and seasoned with dhye,—whatever that or the. leaf of the betel, -which is a kind of pepper plant. Indians like it, but Europeans sel- dom do, because it is so "ripe" than it is virtually rancid. .Ss most people know, the Hin- dus us' the arece, not as a kind of eon ing uni, They chew it with betel leaf and a ;Tittle shell The nut is: astringent and bitter, bet it. does not seem to have any partieular effect on the user.

When the nerves become shaky the whole system seems to become unstrung and a general feeling of eollapse occurs, as the heart wu-ks in sympathy with the nerves. Mrs. Win, Weaver, Shallow Lake, Ont., writes: "I doctored for a year, for my heart and nerves, with three different doctors, but they did not seem to know what was the matter with me. My nerves got so bad at last that I could not hold a paper ia my hands to read, the way they trembled. I gave up doctoring thinking I could not get better, A lady liviug a few doors from me ade vised me to try a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pilis, so to please her 1 did, and.

In these days of automobiles it is not generally realizeel that horse raising is still a profitable industrY as well as an important factor in oversee commerce. 11 is estimated that more than 120,000 horses have been shipped to Europe sines the beginning of the war, destined for use in the field, and the shipments are steadily increasing, The horses are used for the most part in the cavalry and artillery services, A single firm is oowcom- pleting a shipment of 25,000 horses, which will reaelh Europe by way of Italy; frena where they will be for- warded as quickly as possible to the armies of the Allies at the front. The horses purchased by the Eu- ropean armies are as a, rule short legged, shaggy animals capable of great endurance. Probably 40 per ,een.t. of the horses sent abroad for array serviee have not been broken to the halter. Such horses are of little value for breeding purposes and as far as the improvement of horseflesh in. general is concerned the country is well rid of them. Me entire country is being ran- sacked to meet the European de- mand. A large proportion of the horse suiply is gathered from the Western plains. The great na.nges and the markets where the horses are gathered for, sale are picture. esque surrounding e of the wild Western life, which is now rapidly passing. The eolleetion of this army of horses for Europe suggests a great wild west show on an immense scale. Thousands of cowboys are required for the work and much daring riding and driving must be done before the tens of thousands of horses are rounded up on the ranges and finally entrained for the East. The largest of the horse markets, which is located at Miles City, Mon., has supplied thousands of the horses and will continue to ship them: No wild west show in the East ca,n rival in interest this great horse market. Months are requir- ed to round up the horses for a sin- gle sale, when thousands of horses will be displayed and disposed of in a few hours. Al one of these horse auctions more than 10,000 horses were Sold in less than three days. The horses are driven. in or ship- , ped frona the surrounding oountry for weeks in advance. They are for the most part green horses, only a small percentage having felt the bridle. On arriving at the market they are driven into a' series of pens, each enclosure holding from thirty to fifty animals. The pens are enclosed by high board fences of very strong construction. Up- ward of a hundred cowboys are em- ployed in the market alone ;n rounding up the animals'driving' them from one enclosure tt:) another and displaying them for sale. The home are auctioned off in a large arena,. The purchaaers are seated in a covered stand at one side or perched along the fences.' he buyers include some of the most expert judges of horseflesh in the world. The principal horse dealing &Ms are represented, together with buyers for the European armies. The sale proceeds very rapidly and often iseveralithousand horses will be put through their paces before the purchasers and disposed of in a single hour.

The auctioneer, who is al- ways mounted, cracks a long whip and, with the•aid e his .cowboy as- sistants, puts the horses through their paces.

It is usually neceseary to shout the'prices at the top of their Voices in older to ibe heard above the con- fusion of pounding hoofs. Tthe auc- tioneer announces the good points of the horses on sale. The auction is frequently interrupted by a fight among the horses or a desper- ate attempt of one of the liorse,s to climb 'the enclosure. At few minute's at most suffices to complete the sale and at a signal the bars at one side of the enclos- ure are lifted and the cowboys skil- fully drive the horses to another en- closure. Another group of riders are ready waiting meanwhile to pour the next lot into the enclos. ure, and so the animated sale goes on. Lone trains of cars run among the horse pens and the work of loading horses goes rapidly for- ward. • The Lightest Wood. According to the Scientific Amer- ican, the lightest wood in existence is the wood of .arnbach, a legumi- nous plant that grows near Lake Chad and on the tributaries of the upper Nile. The tree, which is sometimes called the pith tree of- ten attains a diameter of eix in!ohes in the two or three • years of its life. At that age it dies, and an- other shoot !starts from its roots. When cut, the' Wood is almbet white, and.is. 'soft and brittle, like the pith of the elder. Some of the wood is exported to the United States and England to make floabs for fishing tackle, and in general to be used as a substitute for cork. Araba,ch wood oontains minute crys- tals of c.aleium Oxalate, which quickly dull the axes and knives of the choppers. On the other hand, the presence of the crystals makes the wood, it is said, .an excellent substitute for the usual razor strop. Dr..

The part which motor velaieles have been playing in the present war has been a source of pride as wela as keen interest to motorists. everywhere, The British army, from top to bottom, has been mo- torized as much as possible and even the Canadian eontingents are provided with eonsiderable auto- in.obile equipment. , The motorization of the Canadian army division is a prominent fea- tore of the development of the over- seas forces. Three motor machine gun batteries have been, or are being provided for the Canadian fighters in the Sifton, Borden .and Eaton battery units and the Ca,nae dian Army Service Corps also have a great many gasoline -driven vehi- cles, which are used in. a less spec- tacular, yet highly important, duty—namely the transporting of supplies of food, ammunition and clothing to those in the front lines. Further, th•e Red Cross Society has found the motor ambulance indis- pensable. To date, no fewer •thatt. twenty-eight motor ambulances have been donated for army medi- cal purposes by the people of Canada. It is almost impossible to estimate the value of these gifts in the humanitarian work which they are doing. Training On the Road. An interesting part of the train- ing of the motor department of the C.A.S.C., now in practice at the Exhibition Military Camp, is the holding of extensive route tours by motor car for the purpose of giving the members of the Service Corps a, certain amount of experience in road work. Many motor vehicles, nearly all of which are large trucks, are used in the trips which occupy a, period of one to four days. The officers of the corps travel at the head of the flying column in tour- ing cars and the privates. ride in the trucks,five to a truck. A. unique feature is that the col- umn camps at the road -side each night and lives exactly under ac- tive service conditions. The sche- dules call for a fifty -mile drive each day, which is a long disteanc,e when the number and speed of the trueke are considered. Lets Of Good Food. „In all reports received. from the trendiem, whether private or offea cial, the staterne,trt has lalwaye been made that the best of food is plenti- ful. The snechani•cal transport cif the Army Service Comps probably can be .thaarked for this state of affairs. With the motor trucks, the fighters in the trenehes are ableote, have meat as food not more than'46 hours after the anianale have been killed and a variety ofikeeth food is supplied by sneans d Ihe motor oars. Me splendid diet provided has been a means of keeping the seldieors in good health under trys ing conditions. The motor trucks of the modern army transport are able to carry a load of three tons, or 6,000 poonds, at least. The old horse-drawn carts oa,nnot earry mors than 3,009 pounds of load each and the pace of the latter is comparatively very Moreover,..the horses .get tired and need more or less careful attention almost constantly. The re,snit is that it has been found that one motor lorry can replace four or five horse vehicles. Equipment for a Division. For the Divisional Supply Col- umn of an army division, the size of the whole second Canadian con- tingent, the following motor vehi- cles constitute the regular equip- ment: Two motor oars, seven mo- torcycles, thirty-eight 3 -Lon lorries, three tractors, two workshop trueks and one store track. For JasereiVi- sional Ammunition Park, whose duty it is to keep the fighting unite, ;supplied with ammunition, the fol- lowing is the motor equipment: Five motor cars, nine motorcycles, six tractors, six 3 -ton lorries, tour workshop trucks, and tavo store and tool trucks. The motorcycles are used for messengers and emergency purposes. The motor oars are em- ployed by the office's to keep in personal toueth with all parts of the divisional front.
