WOOD'S Norway Flee Mrs. Garnet 13urns, North Augusta, Ont., writes: "I caught a dreadful cold, going to town, and about a week after I became all choked up, and could hardly breathe, and could scarcely sleep at night for coughing. I went to the doctor, and he told me that I was getting bronchitis. My husband went to the druggists, and asked theta if they had a cough medicine of any kind that they could recommend. The druggist brought out a bottle of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, I started using it, acid it com- p etely cured me of my cold. I cannot tell you how thankfulI was to get rid of that awful nasty cold. I shall always keep a bottle of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup' on hand, and I shall only be too glad to recommend it to all others." Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is a remedy that has been on the market for the past twenty-five years, and we can recommend it, without a doubt, as being the best cure for coughs and colds that you can possibly procure.

War will lose half its terrors if sur- gery continues to make the rapid progress of the past few years, for arms and legs will be replaced by new , ones when necessary. A millionaire lost an ear in an acci- dent, and offered $5,000 to anybody' who would supply the missing article. 1 A man agreed; the patients were placed side by side for eleven days, which completed the grafting process. In another case, a whole finger is said to have been transferred from , one woman to another, the hands be- ing bound together for twenty-two days. The fee was $500, but the new finger was somewhat shorter than the iriginal member, America is the hone of remarkable surgical operations, says London An- swers, and it was at St. John's Hos- pital, New York, that a man, whose face had beenwas .badlj injured in ma- h' a chinery, supplied with a new nose and mouth,both quite service- able. The operation was a lengthy on; grafted muscles and skin formed the mouth,'and by careful and skilful operations the little finger replaced , the nose. British surgeons can be quite as cle- e ver when necessity arises. A man was badly wounded in South Africa, and lost most of his ribs, which were replaced by a steel jacket which al- lowed him to do light work. Then a London hospital took him in hand, and provided him with a set of silver ribs. A email boy had what amounted to a hole In his skull, caused by a fall when very young, The London sur- geons replaced this by a piece of his shin -bone, and the operation proved successful.. • Wounds from bullets and knives in hearts have been sewn up; a weak aorta was strengthened by a silver spring being placed in it at the weak point; a pig's eyelid. replaced one which had been removed a broken back has'been set; and the. story goes that a blind man was made to see by transplanting a cornea.

Selected Recipes. Souffle of Duck -._Two cups cooked duck meat, cut very fine; two ounces boiled rice,' one ounce butter, salt and pepper totaste, one tablespoon parsley, minced fine, and one-half cup stock, Mix well and pass through sieve. Add yolks of four eggs and stiffly beaten whites of two. Stir and pour into well -buttered mold and bake a nice brown. Serve hot. Prune Charlotte: --Wash prunes thoroughly in many waters, soak over night in slightly sweetened water, and simmer (not boil) on back of stove until tender. Soak two table- spoons of gelatin in a little water, and add to it one cup boiling prune juice, sweetened to taste. Line mold with slices of stale, light cake, fill with prunes, pour in juice and set aside to harden. Serve with whipped cream and sugar. Dried Pea Soup.—After washing, soak two cups of dried green peas in five cups of water over night, adding pinch of soda. Rinse in morning and put on to cook in fresh water with extra bones left from duck, or from roast, one celery root, two diced car- rots, small piece of bacon or sausage and seasoning. Boil gently until peas are done. Take out bones and. celery, mash peas and carrots through colander and return to strained liquor. A. piece of boiling beef may. be cooked with peas, and serve as a meat course, with celery, diced.. English Hot-Pot.—Cut two pounds of shoulder or best part of neck of mutton or lamb into pieces conveni- ent for serving and wipe each piece over with a damp cloth. Peel and slice, over two onions and peel and cut into "cli'unky" pieces six or eight potatoes. Dip each piece of meat into mixture composed of one table- spoon flour, one level teaspoon salt and one-third teaspoon pepper. Put layer of potato into bottom of deep baking dish or casserole, add layer of floured meat, then some onion and so on until dish is full, with potatoes on top. Add cold water until dish is al- most full and bake in moderate oven three hours. One or two lamb kid- neys improve flavor for . most per- sons." Braized Duck.—Fry two slices of salt pork until well tried out, and in resulting fat cook one tablespoon each of diced celery, carrot and turnip and one 'teaspoon each of parsley and onion. After five minutes add one rounding tablespoon butter, lay duck in pan, arranged as if for roasting, but not stuffed, and turn until well browned. Place on trivet in large sauce pan, pour over fat and fried vegetables and one pint boiling water. Cover closely and bake in slow oven, adding more liquid if needed. When partly done add two tablespoons fine ly chopped orange rind. For sauce points mark the extremes. Life is impossible outside those limits. Any- body can take a temperature, and read a clinical thermometer as well as the most skilful doctor. Thus, any- one can tell whether he is in normal health, or in need of more or less attention.

STATISTICS OF THE WAR. An .Answer That "Germany Has Shot Her Bolt." The statisticians are naturally fig- uring all the time and giving their results to the public. The latest is that the combined population ,of Ger- many and Austria at the beginning of the war was 121,000,000, of which 45 per cent. were Austrian and 55 per cent. German. The Germans claim that of these there are ebout 24,000,000 men be- tween the ages of 18 and 45. Of this number 75 per cent. are available for war purposes, or about 16,000,000. As a matter of fact, eliminating the unfit of various ' descriptions, this, would make about 12,000,000 actually avail- able. Of these, it is estimated that 5,200,000 have been permanently re- moved from the firing line, leaving a balance of 6,800,000, and of these at least 1,500,000, or about '7,500 to the mile, will be required to hold the Wes- tern front, and 2,500,000 to .hold the Russian front with 500,000 on other fronts, leaving Germany and Austria a reserve force of 2,300,000. This vast reserve is the answer that the Teutons make to the allegation that "Germany has shot her bolt." They say they can go into winter quarters with comfortable anticipa- tions of what they inay be able to do neat spring. If a woman nags her 's g husband its up to him to supply her with plenty of cause.

All of the strips of fat left from a' d steak should be left in a dish . and tried out in the oven. They wil make excellent fat for frying. Granulated sugar makes a coarse grained cake, powdered sugar a fine one, but a moist, light brown sugar is one of the best kinds to use. In pressing silk or satin do not' use a very hot iron nor dampen them. Lay some clean, dry muslin over the seams and Irress with a. warm iron. Instead of melting. butter when you want to' mix it with sugar, place the butter in a double boiler and allow it to get warm. It will beat up very easily with the sugar, and will not cause the cake to be heavy. Good living is as much a case of careful planning as it is of spending money. Think before you buy, and do not put off planning a meal until almost mealtime. Haste in this, as in anything else, means waste. tee STUDY YOUR TEMPERATURE: Anybody Can Read a Clinical Ther- mometer. In health, the temperature of the Eskimo at the Pole and the Zanzibar - lea at the Equator differs not by a single degree. In fact, there are only ten degrees between health and certain death The temperature of the atmosphere some- times ome times varies forty degrees in twenty- four hours. No such variation occurs in the body. Put a clinical thermometer—you can buy a good one cheap—into your mouth, and leave it there several min- utes. Now examine it. If it does not stand—i.e., the mercury, of course - at about 98.6 there's something wrong with you. Doctors call that point - "normal." That's when they let you sit up and talk when you have been ill in bed. The range of a clinical thermometer is from 95 to 110 degrees. • These r t t h e s d s thei WOUNDS s SURVIVOR OF FORTY OU1 \ DS The picture shows.

Is Made From Shrapnel Case at Cost of $1.25. The French troops are using a new bomb thrower of extreme simplicity, with which they are obtaining re- markable results, according•to experts who have seen them at work. This weapon, which is known as the "cra- pouillot," consists of a shrapnel shell case mounted on a wooden stand, with a spike in front to anchor it firmly. ! The case of the shrapnel shell remains intact after it has been fired, as its object is to act like a little cannon; its end opens and the chrapnel with which it is crammed is clriven out by a charge of powder at the bottom of the case. These shrapnel cases are carefully picked up by the French to be used against the enemy. They are cut down and a touch -hole is bored in powder is' poured into the shell case and a bomb well loaded . with explo- sives placed' upon- it. The charge is fired by the touch -hole and the bomb Iis thrown' into the air; it turns clum- sily over and ` over like a large sau- sage, but it finds its target with re- markable accuracy. When in the vicissitudes of battle the Germans succeed in capturing a front trench their communique not in- frequently dignifies these bomb throwers with the name of guns. Peo- ple read that ten, twenty or thirty guns have been captured, and never for a moment suppose that these in -1 significant trench mortars are meant.! _ I them.

Smothered Round Steak. -Try out on hot iron frying pan three thin slices of fat salt pork, three by four inches, and add one onion peeled and cut in thin slices. Cook, stirring con- stantly until brown. Wipe two and one-half pound slice of round steak, put in frying pan, pour over one and one-fourth teaspoon salt. Bring quickly to boiling point, cover closely, mer slowly until tender. Remove steak to hot platter and strain stock There should be one cupful. Melt one tablespoon butter, - add two table- spoons flour, stir until blended and pour hot stock on gradually, while stirring constantly. Let boil two minutes, season with salt and pepper, pour over - and around steak, and serve surrounded 'with stuffed baked tomatoes and overlapping slices of tomato with sprigs of parsley in centre. - - Home Hints. People are very apt to use more sugar than they need in cooking. Cereals for milk puddings should be soaked before cooking begins. Batter puddings are quite light made with part water instead of all milk. To clean eggs wet common baking soda in a small dish and wipe ' the eggs. Olives and English' walnuts chop- ped together make a nice winter salad. Linen should have a long soaking before washing, if you wish it to look nice.. A stovepipe can be cut with the help of a can -opener exactly as you would cut a can. Sally Lunn cake, fresh and riot, is a welcome accompaniment to the af- ternoon tea table. A pinch of bicarbonate of soda added to stewed fruit makes it pos- sible touse less sugar. If there is a fruit stain on a gar- ment, pour boiling water throughthe stain until it disappears.

Also as Meu—Two Gen- erals Contrasted. Falkenhayn to plan and Mackensen to do. The sentence gives the Ger- man conception of these soldiers when the "drive" of the Russians' was in full swing. It affords an insight into the characters of the men besides--; their characters as soldiers, for as men they present 'contrasts indeed. Falkenhayn is a strategist and Mac- kensen a tactician. Eric vonFalken- hayn, chief of the general staff in Berlin, is a 'conspicuous figure at the court of William II., a statesman as well as a soldier, enjoying the confi- dence of both the Emperor and the Crown Prince. August von Macken - sen isnotedas a cavalry officer and a specialist, like Hindenburg, in ma- noeuvres. Horses are the hobby of Von Mackensen, who always com- plains that the Germans think too much of big guns. Mackensen is one of the gods of the Hussars of the Death's -Head, the regiment with which the Crown Prince was connect- ed for so long a time. Falkenhayn, has travelled more widely. . Mackensen has the build of the Saxon. Falkenhayn is more vari- able in his moods. He traces his an- cestry quite fir back to Bohemian magnates and a branch of his family still flourishes in Austria. Macken - sen is very much the elder of the two, having long passed his sixtieth year. Falkenhayn is a little past 50, and is the youngest Minister of War Ger- many ever had. Falkcnhaya Unbending. • That stamp of firmness and deci- sion which the military life of Berlin imparts to the character of a man is discerned by a writer in the Paris Gaulois in every pose and gesture of Von Falkenhayn. - The intimacy be- tween himself and the Emperor by no means implies that the chief of the general staff is a puppet. Ile has not the disposition that accommodates it- self to another's. Nor could he con- ceal his contempt for unsound stra- tegy, though it were the "Kaiser's. There may be truth in a report that he and the Emperor have quarreled, we. read, but it by no means follows that they have permanently parted. company, The , explosive nature of William II. is consistent with the keenest appreciation of capacity in a soldierand while he has had sharp discussions with his commanders, he does not part with them for any mere assertion of their opinions and plans. Falkenhayn is the least conciliatory of alI the great military magnates at the court of Berlin. He is absolutely without the gift of dissurnulation. Mackensen impresses the French press as apt for what they call "fi- nesse." He has the mind. of the com- mander who plays tricks upon a foe, manoeuvres him into impossible and untenable corners, fights a battle as if it were, a game of chess. He has the quiet firmness in giving orders, the unruffled pose at headquarters, and the coolness that belong to that type of military genius. Mackensen Quiet. He has given little evidence, at least, to the writers in the French press, of the genius that ran play a campaign from a broad strategical standpoint like Falkenhayn. In exe- cution, however, he is unsurpassed. Nor is he committed to any forma of tactics, like Hindenburg of the lakes. Mackensen is a cavalry officer, in- deed, but the French do not discern in him the dash of the cavalryman. He is too quiet for that. He lacks the Prussianism of Falkenhayn, hav- ing been brought up on the estate of his father, who was a territorial aris- tocrat in Saxony and an authority on political- economy and administration. The youth moved in civilian . circles and married into the Prussian junker class. His home is usually in Dan- zig. When the Crown Prince was banished 'to that city, he found Mac- kensen a. dificult proposition. The heir to the throne was treated with all the deference due to his high rank, but he found "house arrest". a real thing.

A Hun Professor's Opinion of Nia- gara Falls. The following story told by Mr. Andrew Carnegie illustrates the dens- ity of the German mind, Long be- fore the war he was once travelling with a German financier, and together they went to Niagara Falls. The won- derful scene sent Mr. Carnegie into raptures of praise, but the German merely looked stolidly on and said nothing. Mr. Carnegie was astonish- ed at suet indifference; and, hardly able to contain himself, he turned to his companion and said: "Don't you think that's a wonderful sight?" "What?" asked the German.

How German Officer Carried Out Sentence of Murder. The London Mail's Amsterdam cor- respondent sends the following de- tails of the execution of Miss Edith Cavell, an English woman, who was charged with aiding Belgian men, to escape to England by hiding them in her house and helping to smuggle them over the frontier after she had given them money and addresses in England: The execution occurred in a walled garden in Brussels. The firing party of six men and an officer was drawn up to await Miss Cave1, whom other soldiers led from an adjoining house. She was blindfolded with a black scarf and was deadly pallid, but step- ped bravely forward until passing the firing party. Then •she dropped in a swoon 30 yards from the wall where she was to have been shot. The officer commanding the sol- diers advanced, took a large revolver from his belt, - aimed steadily and then shot the woman through the head as she lay quietly on the ground. sunken treasure.
