Pimples are caused wholly by bad blood, and to get rid of them it is neccs- eery to purify the blood of all its im- purities. Burdock Blood Bitters has made many remarkable cures; the pimples have all disappeared and a bright, clean, coni- plexlon lett behind. Mr, Lennox D. Cooke, Indian Path, N.S:, writes: "I arnwrit ig you a few lines to tell you what Burdock Blood Bitters has done for me. Last winter my face was covered with pimples. I tried different kinds of medicine, and all seemed to fail. I was one day to a friend's house, and there they advised me to use 13.13.8., so I purchased two bottles, and before I had them taken I found I was getting better. I got two more, Mid when they were finished I was ?;omplet'ely cured, I find it is a great blood purifier, and I recommend it to all." Burdock Blood Bitters has been• on the market for the past forty years, and is manufactured only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.

Drain the oysters, salt and pepper to taste and roll them in bread crumbs. Drop in a frying pan of boiling lard, having sufficient lard to allow the oysters to swim in the grease, Remove when a golden brown and place on brown pa- per to drain. Serve on a bed of fried. parsley, as given below. Fried Parsley for Oysters, Meats, etc.—Pick off the delicate leaves of branches of very young parsley, tvash. well, drain and put in a frying pan in which you have placed a table- spoonful of lard, medium hot. Fry slowly and use as a garnish or as needed. Stewed Oysters.—Take about 4 dozen large oysters, and drain in a colander, Mix 1 tablespoonful of flour and 1 of butter together. Put 1 pint of oyster liquor on the fire and adcl the flour and butter 'blended. Have ready in another saucepan a pint of rich, hot cream. After 5 minutes, add this to the oyster liquor, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Salt and pepper to taste. Let it boil up once and then add the oysters. Serve after 3 minutes. This is a well-known Southern delicacy. Oysters au Parmesan.—Brown one cup of grated breadcrumbs in a little butter and then butter a shallow dish and stew the oysters with the bread crpmbs. Drain the oysters and dry with a clean towel, season highly, and place them, one by one, on the bread - crumbs, strewing chopped parsley over them. Then grate one or two cupfuls of parmesan cheese over this, using your own judgment as to the ne- cessary amount. Now sprinkle this lightly with another coating of bread - crumbs and pour over this a gill of white wine. Place in the oven, which should be very hot, and let this re- main about 15 minutes, until quite grown. When it is removed pour over it a little drawn butter, garnish with lemon and serve. Steamed Oysters.—Use as many oysters as necessary, allowing at least six to each person. This is a favorite old Creole dish, and formerly it was the entree which accompanied many Saturday meals, like the good old baked beans and brown bread in Boston. Have ready a pot of boiling water, drain the oysters in their shells and put them in a shallow pan, the bottom being perforated. Cover and put them over the steamer. Let them stand about 10 minutes, then remove and put into a hot dish, sea- son with pepper and cayenne, and serve with drawn butter. Those who prefer the natural taste of the oy- sters steam them in their shells. This is done by washing the oysters thor- oughly on the outside, placing them in the steamer and cover. Let them remain about 15 minutes in the steam- er, until the shells open easily, and serve. The steamed oyster must be eaten very hot to appreciate its flavor.

Vinegar, hot, will remove paint marks from glass. Vinegar and water will destroy nits in. children's heads. Vinegar and granulated sugar, mix- ed, will stop hiccup. Vinegar, diluted, -will keep meat fresh in hot close weather. Mustard rubbed on the hands will at once remove all smell of fish. Vinegar, rubbed on discolored steel- work ensures a quick, easy clean. Powdered alum added to ordinary stove blacking adds to its brilliancy. Mustard Mixed with soft food for fowls increases and quickens the egg supply. Mustard, to obtain the full flavor, should be mixed with salad -oil and not water. Mustard -plasters will not blister if mixed with the white of an egg and hot water. Vinegar and bran make an excel- lent poultice for all aches, pains, and bruises. Vinegar added to the rinsing water will revive faded red and pink cotton fabrics. Vinegar—a teacupful in a warm bath, will take away all stiffness after cycling, etc. Vinegar, diluted, applied to furni- ture before polishing, ensures a bril- liant polish. A steak cut from an inch to an inch and a half in thickness is about right. Mustard sprinkled in boots, and covered with two paper socks, will keep the feet always warm. In cold weather, rag rugs are nice in the kitchen, as they can be taken up and washed. Vinegar will make a new gas - mantle last much longer. Soak five minutes, dry, and burn off. Vinegar will prevent old potatoes from going black when boiled, if a teaspoonful is added to the water. Vinegar and stale bread, applied to a corn as a poultice, nightly, will care the corn in three nights. New tinware will never rust, if greased with a little fresh lard and baked in the oven before it is used. The cedar one uses for moths, sprinkled on the range will dispel the bad odor from anything eooldng. In washing, remember that all white garments should be hung in the sun, while colored clothes should be hung in the shade. If ink is spilled on the carpet or table cover, cover it immediately with salt, Renew the salt as it ab- sorbs the ink. A paste made of fuller's earth mixed with water and rubbed over the spot will remove all traces of the grease. It is well to make the second application. Put just the least amount of cotton - batten in the tips of children's gloves and it will keep thein from wearing out in the fingers. Humble Pie. Humble pie is still met with in the rural districts of England, Scotland and Ireland. It is not merely the pro- verbial dish which the proud must sometimes eat. Originally it was a meat or game pie made for the serv- ants of noblemen and furnished an appetizing and economical method of utilizing the less desirable parts of animals brought in from the chase. After a prolonged and successful hunt, a prodigious humble pie was made, sufficient for all the retainers on the estate. This was eaten in the great kitchen after the nobleman and his guests had enjoyed the choicer portions. The pastry used for this huge pie was originally made from the drippings from the roasts of veni- son or game, which increased the savory flavor of the finished dish. The modern humble pie can be baked in a deep fireproof pudding dish of a size to meet the needs of the family. Line the dish with plain crust and place large pieces of raw potato here and there, so that the crust shall be weighted down and not lose its shape while baking. When partly cooked remove from the oven, take out the pieces of raw potato and fill with a hot mixture of whatever material is at hand, such, ,as remnants 'of cooked veal, beef, liver,. ham or fowl, enriched with bits of finely chopped suet, highly seasoned with anion juice, minced parsley, pep- per and salt, and moistened with gravy or broth. Stale bread, cut in dice, cubes of potato or other cooked vegetable may be added if the supply of meat is scant. Smooth the .top of the filling neatly, arrange strips of crust in lat- tice fashion and return to the oven until the top is well browned. This dish somewhat resembles the econom- ical shepherd's pie, which is topped with gnashed potato instead of crust, and which does not have anything be- tween the meat filling and .the fire- proof dish. Either of these dishes makes a hearty meal if served with gravy or tomato sauce and affords an econom- ical and easy method of utilizing left- overs of meat or vegetables.

France's growing effort to accumu- late artillery and ammunition is shown in an analysis of war expen- ditures. The total for 14 months shows more than 3,000,000,000 francs ($600,- 000,000) spent for cannon and ammu- nition, at the rate of 106,000,000 a month in 1914, 255,000,000 •a month during the first half of 1915, and 370,000,000 a month during the quar- ter ending September 30. The expenditure for artillery and ammunition are exceeded only by the item of food and forage, which amounted to 4,250,000,000 francs. Next in order come the clothing and quartering 'of the troops, about 2,- 600,000,000, ,-600,000,000, and the pay .of the troops, about 2,000,000,000. Vehicles, including automobiles, were bought to the amount of 223,- 000,000 francs, and a billion and a half was paid for horses and mules. The sanitary department has cost 647,000,000 to date, an average of 38,000,000 a month during 1914, and 53,000,00 a month in 1915. The total expenditure for distinctly military operations from July 31, 1014, to September 3, 1915, is about 16,000,- 000,000 francs, making up 73 per cent. of the budget during that period. A billion and a half has been spent for the relief of soldiers' families and workers thrown out of • employment, while 190,000,000 have been spent' for the feeding and sheltering of r'efu gees. The subscriptions to the national defence bonds and obligations halve furnished 66 per cent, of the funds for the total expenditures of 22,000,000,-. 000 during tho 14 months ending September 30, the established taxes have produced 16 per cent, and the remaining 18 per cent. has been ad- vanced by the Bank of France.

Why repair ye not the breaches? —As no blame was attached to the priests by the king for their neglect in keeping the temple in repair, it is presumable that the temple offerings had so decreased that there really was no money on hand for the work of restoration. Their honesty was not impugned, for in verse 9 we read they were put in charge of the public offer- ings. Take no more money—The "house to house" collection ordered in 2 Chron. 24. 5 was now to close and the offerings were to be made beside the altar in the temple itself. II.

Mr. Frank D; Anthony, 69 Ellen. Street, Winnipeg, Man., writes; '"Having taiten several battles of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, during the past few weeks, to relieve a chronic cough and general throat trouble, allow me to ex- press my unbounded satisfaction . and thanks as to its sterling qualities. A short time ago I became suddenly subject to violent' coughing fits at night, and. directly after rising in the morning, for about an hour, and found I was gradually losing weight. All my friends cheerfully informed me that I looked as though I were going in consumption, and I honestly believed such was the case. However, after having taken several bottles of 'Dr. Wood's' I am pleased to relate that the cough has entirely dis- appeared, along with all the nasty symptoms, and I have since regained the lost weight,. I have no hesitation iu recommending Dr, Wood's Norway Pin Syrup as a sure cure for all those troubled in a like manner." When you ask for ""Dr. Wood's" see that you get what you. ask for.

Seventeen hundred of the! inhabitants have returned. and at the beginning the earth was shaken for a space of nearly twenty- six thousands miles. The movement of the earth during an earthquake may be vertical, hori- zontal or whirling. The most destruc- tive shocks are generally the shortest in duration. That of Lisbon, Nov. 1, 1755, lasted about six minutes. The three shocks that reduced Caracas to ruins,. March 26, 1812, were over in a minute, and most of the damage to the city' of Conception, Feb. 20, 1835, was done in six seconds. At Lima, Peru, an average of nearly fifty shocks in a year are expected, and in some parts of South America over sixty have been counted in a year, not reckoning the slight ones, which are still more nu- merous. The permanent elevation or depres- sion of large tracts of land is one of the peculiar phenomena attending these convulsions of nature. During the earthquake at Lisbon the new quay subsided and the spot was cover- ed by water six hundred feet deep. Many other remarkable instances are on record. They have been terribly destructive to life as well as property. A visitation of the kind in Peru, 1746, killed 3,800; 1797, from a similar cause, 1,000 Peruvians perished. At Caracas, 1812, 10,000 hien were des- troyed, 00,000 at Lisbon in 1745, 40,000 in the New Calabrias and Sic- ily in 1783, and 20,000 more by sick- ness resulting from it. Ancients Used {las in Warfare. The earliest use of deleterious gases in siege warfare is recorded in the his- tory of the Peloponnesian wars from 431 to 404 B.C. During this struggle between the Athenians and Spartans and their respective allies the cities of Platea and Deli= were besieged. Wood saturated with pitch and sul- phur was set on fire and barnt under the walls of these cities in order to generate chocking and poisonous fumes, which would stupefy trim ci.s- fenders and resider the task of the at- tacking forces less, difficult, I+ ' SILENT SOLDIERS. A Correspondent Says the British • Are Quiet. Almost the first thing that strikes you about the British army is its quiet men, writes a United Press cor- respondent. I saw six horses try to run away the other day when a regi- ment of men cheered Sir John French after he had thanked them in his quiet, hesitating way for their part in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle. Can- non the horses know. Cheers are strange to them. "Don't have any ceremony," seems to be the British army man's idea of doing his job. A young officer was moving about a headquarters room in a farmhouse, up near the front, where we had gone in for some hot tea. He chatted with the officers at the table about various things; about the colonel's little daughter, who was fourteen and had lived on four dif- ferent continents; about a Hindu who had learned to speak French al- most perfectly within a few weeks; about other trivial things; and tall the time he was packing his bag to take his men through a night march to the trenches where he would spend sever- al days. They were talking about their. mess. "We ought to have a French cook," he said, as he threw his bag over his shoulder and started for the door. Than was his good -by remark. lie might never come back again.

The Ber- lin newspapers are calling attention to the extraordinary increase this year in the cultivation of the common sun- flower; it is seen in great quantities i th ardens in the suburbs of Berlin and other cities and along railways everywhere. In previous years the on- ly practical value of the plant was in feeding the seeds to birds, but this year the seeds are used to make an oil which is pronounced equal to the best olive oil for cooking purposes. A writer is also pointing to further possibilities of the plant. The oileake left after making oil, he says, is an excellent feed for animals, whereas the seeds themselves can be roasted and used as a substitute for coffee. The young shoots and undeveloped leaves can also be cooked and eaten as a palatable substitute for spinach. In Belgium, too, the Germans are turning their thoughts toward disco- ' vering new uses for old and familiar plants. An agricultural weekly pub- lished by the German authorities there has just been showing that tea can ' be made from tender, half-grown leaves of the blackberry and rasp- berry plants, which has all the quail - ,' ties of its famous Chinese cousin without its nerve -disturbing effect.

Even the posts of house physician and house surgeon in 1 the hospitals, heretofore always held by men, are offered to women. This is particularly true of the provincial hospitals. Women are also taking the practices of men who have gone to the front. Boards of guardian's are so hard up for doctors that, casting aside their inherited prejudices, they offer posi- tions to women at increased salary. Before the war, an infirmary doctor in the Whitechapel district, who was al- ways a man, received only $500 a year and emoluments, Now the same post is advertised for a woman at $1000 and emoluments, The Women's Medical School of London has trained 600 women doctors, now in practice, and has 220 students on its mile.
