The chief symptoms of cholera, are vomiting, and purging occurs either simultaneously or alternately, . and are usually sudden and very violent, and the matter ejected by the stomach has a bilious appearance and a nasty bitter i. ste. On the first symptom appearing r. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry ho ld b etken andthe trouble lured. u a ' Mrs. E. Slade, 376 Logan Ave., Toronto, Ont., writes: "When I first arrived h Canada, nearly four -years ago, my entire family was stricken with cholera, from which the youngest child died, Soon after a friend recommended Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, and acting on this advice I administered it to all who were suffering, with the mosi gratifying results. Since that first at - tacit my children have "been subject to stomach troubles, but on the first symptoms I resort to "Dr. Fowler's," and' it always brings relief. I have immense faith in this medicine, and always keep a bottle on hand. Also I never fail to recommend it to anyone who is similarly troubled." When you ask for "Dr. Fowler's" see that you get it. It has been on the market for the past 70 years. There is nothing "just as good." Manufactured by The T. Milburn Ca. Limited, Toronto, Ont. Price, 35 cents. LI LIGHT ON. GERMAN METHODS:~ Nothing She Can Do Will Ever De- grade Other Natiohs. The Italian Green Book sheds fur- ther light upon the hope& and devices of the enemy. As far back as March it now transpires. Germany was ang- ling for peace with Russia in order that she might fling her whole strength against her foes in the west. The design failed then, as it has fail- ed ailed now, when, according to the meth- ods of German calculation, the tempt- ation to Russia to come to terms has been ever so'much greater. Fortun- ately the Czar and his advisers have. but one answer for such attempts to detach them from their Allies, and to break their pledged word. An inter- national agreement is much more to Russian than "a scrap of paper." Be- fore this war is over she will have taught the Germans more than one lesson. The latest news from the Eastern front is evidence that she is still as potent in the field as she ''is honest in the Council chamber. But M- he lesson that Germany needs most i all is one which willp rove conclu- sively to her that nothing she can dol will ever degrade other nations to the low moral plane upon which the Ger- man mentality moves. .14 THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY. A lie has always a certain amount of weight for those who wish to be- lieve it. -Rice. In`taking revenge a man is but his enemy's equal, in passing it he is his superior. -Bacon. A noble nature can alone attract the noble, and alone knows how to at- tract them. -Goethe. Actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends. -George Washington. Dare to be true, nothing can need a lie. A fault which needs it, most grows two thereby. -Herbert.. There is one thing that can never turn into suffering, and that is the good we have done. -Maeterlinck.

If you find that your soup is too salt add a very little sugar. This helps to take off the salty taste. A splendid remedy for a cut is to take the skin of an uncooked egg an place it over the wound, leaving until healed. To destroy moths and brighten ca pets, go over them, after sweepin with a cloth wrung out in water t which a little 'turpentine has bee added. After a meal dish -washing will be small.task if you keep a pan of war soapy water handy, and drop ever fork and plate in as soon as it ha been used. Left -overs of cauliflowers can b most tastefully: used up by puttin them into a baking dish, covering wi white sauce and buttered brea crumbs, and browning in the overt. A cheap cut of steak will make delicious dish if simmered slowly i f a covered pan with chopped • onion and a can of tomatoes. Allow fro two to three hour$ for the cooking. To keep a pet palm in order, th leaves should be sponged carefull every week. Don't water palms to often; let the earth become dry, the soak it liberally. Chiffon, if not of too flimsy a char atter, will stand washing perfectl well. A little prepared gum added t the last rinsing water is generally- a improvement. Iron when nearly dr with a cool iron and without an covering. The great secret of frying is t have plenty of fat and to have boiling hot when you drop things int it, so that the inside cooks without ab sorbing the grease. Brass bedsteads will keep in much better condition if occasionally- rub bed over with a little sweet oil; after ward wipe well with a dry duster' and polish with a leather, To keep enamelled kitchenware clean put it once a week. in a large vessel of cold water, with a table- spoonful of lye added; bring to boil- ing point, and afterwards wash in the usual way. A simple fruit salad can be made by cutting six bananas in pieces, adding to them a tin of pine -apple chunks cut small, sprinkling over a quarter of a pound of crystallized cherries, cut into little bits, and adding the syrup from the pineapple. If your hands are dirty after doing household work, pour on them a little olive oil, add a little. castor sugar, and rub this well into the skin. After- wards, :wash the hands, using no soap, but.merely rinsing them in clear, cold water, and then dry thoroughly. To keep butter cool, place the but- ter in a deep dish in a basin of cold water with about two tablespoonfuls of salt added to it. Soak a clean flower pot in water and place over the butter. Re -soak the flower pot every now and then, and you will find the butter will keep nice and firm. Where a young' child appears to be in a chrorflc state of hunger, and is always asking for food, you may be sure that something is wrong with the constitution; it may be a form of indigestion.

Forty-five Per Cent. of People Live in One. Room. Someinformation on this subject is given in the new number of the Town - Planning Review. The greater part of the population of Berlin of all classes except the richest suffers, we are told, from lack of house -room. In 1900 45 per cent. of all Berlin house- holds occupied dwellings of only one room, and 70 per cent. of the house- holds had dwellings of not more than two rooms; yet rent absorbed from one-fifth to one-fourth of the income of the working people. Whereas as in 1711 the average number per house was 14, it is now 77, There are houses which. contain 250 fatnilies each. Ber- lin's wide streets give an appearance of spaciousness, but the overcrowd- ing is appalling -viz.,' 32,000 per square kilometre, as against only 15,- 000 in London,.which is not exactly under -populated --with results de - Scribed as "terrible" as regards alike e the health and the morals of the in- 4 se - No. Dainty "Underneaths Easily and At- tractively Embroidered.

Absorption of Foreign Ideas Making New Conditions. The Pekin Gazette gives the follow- ing interesting description of famil life in China, commenting that thes conditions are fast changing as a re suit of the absorption of foreign ideas "The Chinese family in its old-fash ioned organism is a small kingdom with the head of the family as th king and ruler of. all under his roof Except for the law of the country, hi words are law. In certain cases th word of the family chief is eve greater than the law of the country The absolute power of bontrol an punishment of the father over hi sons and daughters, the latter befor their marriage, and the former even after their marriage, is universe throughout the land. A proverb says `If a king wishes his subject to die he must die; if a father wishes his son to be destroyed he must be destroyed. Such is the severity of the family law A typical case of thit sort came un- der n der the notice of the writer some ten years ago even in such a modern city as Shanghai. "A certain Li family had only one son between two brothers, and natur- ally he was considered the pearl of the house. At the age' of 16 the boy was sent to a mission school to study and in due course he decided to be- come a -Christian. This was strongly opposed by the whole family, especial- ly the grandfather. But at first they smiled at the carefully advanced hint by the boy, believing that he would never dare to make such a change. They were mistaken, for the boy not long after announced that he had ap- plied for baptism at the mission, but made it plain to his parents that un- less their' consent was. secured he could not be baptised. "This so aroused his parents that they shut him up in a small room, and for fear that he would escape, took every particle of decent clothing from him and clothed him in old rags. Un- daunted, the boy crept through a win- dow and interviewed the missionary, who, of course, counselled him to be patient, and told him to return home to be an `obedient son.' "The boy took the advice, but not until he had secured a lot of. Christian literature, which he said he would read and distribute among his rela- tives at his native place, to which his parents had threatened to send him if he refused to give up his new faith. Finally the boy was sent to his coun- try home in Ningpo to receive disci- plinary lessons to counteract the Christian doctrine. ' The boy promised to write after his arrival at his native place, but no word has come Since. Although no one will ever know 'What sort of lessons the boy received at the hands of his family -elders, it could. not have been •easy; for it was the custom of the Ningpo elders even to bury people alive for crimes unpun- ishable by state law. This, of course, was an exceptional case, but such ex- ceptions were tot by any means rare," .1. PRIMITIVE WAY OF LIVING.! A Few Tribes Live as in Prehistoric Times. Science has proved to us beyond a doubt that long before men and wo- Y men lived in homes and even huts e they lived in the branches of trees. The strength found in a new born • baby's hands and fingers is an inherit- " ance of prehistoric ages, when chil- dren and grown-ups alike spent much of their leisure by day and lived at night in the branches of trees. s There are a few i I tribes that still e cling to this most primitive way of living. The Guarnis, who live along d the Orinoco River in South America, continue this practice because, dur- s ing a large part of the year, their e country is. flooded. 1 The trees are a species of palm, which not only yield them an abund- ance of food but also an excellent sup- ' port for the simple houses which they , make in them. The beams are fas- tened from tree to tree. It is upon _ this scaffolding that the houses are erected. The floors are covered with plaster- ing of mud on which fires are built for cooking their food. As the climate is warm they do not inclose the sides i of their houses, but need only a good t roof to keep out the rain. The early explorers were astonished at seeing fires in the tree tops. The Australian bushmen wish only 1 a shelter from the rain, and if they can find a cave or overhanging rock o that will shelter them they will build c no house. If there is no such natural a shelter they select a place where d small trees or bushes grow together • a and weave the branches together and t cover them with grass. This forms a roof to keep off the rain. MADE OF GUN METAL. "Curfew" comes from two `French words, "couvre feu," which mean 'cover fire." The Siberian Railway is the loi.g- st in the world.

She ssists at the dressings, takes the or- inary turns of the nurse, and gener- lly "makes herself one of the rest," o quote one of the other nurses.

Co -Operation of Provinces Needed In Placing Men On the Land. The economic problems which will follow the end of the war and the re- turn of 150,000 or more of Canada's. soldiers seeking to resume their nor- maI means of livelihood are already engaging the attention of the Federal Government. It is recognized that plans will have to be laid well in ad- vance in order to cope with a situa- tion in which so many tens of thou- sands of men will 'find themselves "out of a job." The Canadian Manufacturers' Asso- ciation has communicated with the Government offering its services, through the medium of a representa- tive committee, epresenta-tivecommittee, towards finding posi- tions as far as possible for all the in- dustrial workers now enrolled. • This offer will probably be accepted in con- nection with a general scheme which is to be evolved for assisting the re- turned soldiers to find employment. Placing Men on the Land. There will also, however, have to be some plan for enabling a considerable percentage of the returned soldiers to go on the land, and in this respect the co-operation of the Provincial Gov- ernments will be sought. It may be that a little later on a conference will be held in Ottawa with .representa- tives of the various Provincial Gov- ernments, and also with representa- tives of various industrial associa- tions, to see what can be done towards properly and quickly distributing to suitable vocations the men who come back after the war. It is expected also that there will be a very large immigration from Europe as soon as the war is ended, and the Government realizes the necessity of providing early for judicious distribu- tion of this influx so as to meet the necessities of proportionate urban and rural development. The whole com- plicated question will probably be re- ferred either to a sub -committee of the Cabinet or to a Royal Commission for consideration and action. Invalided and Disabled. Another problem which has to be considered without delay is with re- gard to the care of the invalided or disabled soldiers, who are already be- ginning to arrive in considerable num- bers, and whose future must be pro- vided for as far as possible by enab-.. ling them to secure new means of livelihood. In cases where a soldier has lost an arm or a leg, Government funds will be set aside supplementing the National Disablement Fund raised by popular subscription to furnish an artificial limb. It is also intended to assist wherever feasible these men to- wards taking courses intechnical in- stitutions, which may train them for suitable positions. Just at present there is a pause in the efforts which are being made to raise this disablement fund, pending another effort of the committee in charge of the Patriotic Fund to add hnother million or so to that fund.. It has been found during the past two or three months that the drain on the Patriotic Fund has been steadily growing, while contributions have fallen off, and unless steps are taken at once to appeal again to public gen- erosity the fund will be depleted, and those dependent on it left without adequate help during the coming win- ter, Submarine Net New: The submarine,so far from: being ga modern invention, is quite a hoary veteran.
