Anthony, 69 Ellen Street, Winnipeg, Man., writes: "Having taken several bottles 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- '.l}tess my unbounded satisfaction and thanks as to its sterling qualities. A short time ago I became etiddenly 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 hesitatiop in recommending Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup as a sure care for all those troubled in a like manner." When you ask for "Dr. Wood's" see that you get what you ask for. •It is put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; the price, 25c and 50c. Manufactured only by The T. Milburn "ie.

Discussing Great Britain's share in the war the Austrian Socialist organ, the Arbeiter Zeibung, says that con- scription, even if it does no more than secure the filling up of gaps caused by losses, is yet of the Highest sig- nificance for the continuance of the war. It must be recognized that Great Britain is carying on the war as a land power in a degree never before seen in any coalition wars in her history. The insurmountable bar- l rier of the seas surrounding the coun- I try saves her from spending her strength in defending her own land. There is no threatening foe to com- pel her to rush forces to the frontier. The British have time on their side. The sea, to which they owe so much, ermits them to make good without ny serious disadvantage the negli- gence in war preparations in the war - itself. It even increases their power. For wherever the strength of the enemy appears ..to. be growing weak there emerges at first a promise and then, in part at least, as a reality, some of the hundreds of thousands of Kit- chener's recruits to renew the en- thusiasm of the war in the veins of the Entente. And so it is Great Bri- tain which spins the threads—the endless threads of black misfortune which ,enelops the whole earth like a shroud—and is due more to her fa- vorable geographical situation than to her determined persistency that Great Britain is able to postpone the decision on the Continent. Britain Best Market. The United Kingdom leads all the countries in the world as a market for the domestic farm and forest roducts of the United States. Dur- ieg the past 10 years bhe Unf Kingdom averaged annually 39 per cent. of all farm and forest products exported. Leave Skins on Cattle. New Zealand cattle raisers have found that the meat of dressed calves retains its flavor better when export- ed long distances if the skins be left on until ready for market.

When the liver becomes sluggish and inactive the bowels become constipated, S Home Problems Solved. This is the time of the year whe the average woman lets her thought turn to clothes for spring and sum mer. She may not have all she need for the remaining days of winter, bu her mind will glide away easily fro such deficiencies, as she sees the new materials displayed in all the stores. In order to have more sunime gowns many a woman becomes h own dressmaker. Patterns are eas to get and to follow; and if she ha a natural instinct for dressmaking and is fond of sewing, several prett of which she is the sol creator, come from the sewing roon, during these late weeks of. winter. There is, however, one obstacle i the way of the would-be dressmake if she is the mother, housekeeper an maid-of-all-worle besides, and tha obstacle is the lack of time, the nee of a few more hours in her alread busy day. She requires more than mere snatch of time, but just as sh becomes interested in her worksh may"he obliged to stop; and when sh comes back to her sewing an hour o two later, she loses more time huntin her thimble or trying to find ou where she left off. Much more night be done by em ploying a little system, by bringin the imagination into play, or possibly by combining the two. One woman who makes most of her own and her children's clothes accomplishes much more than the average 'woman by planning ahead, even by pretending, that she is expecting a visit from a seamstress I In order to get the time in which to entertain that imaginary dress maker, she works very hard for two or three days before, cleaning the house and cooking. She makes out her bills of fare for the whole time and orders everything that will keep She arranges for the children to flour, two teaspoons baking powder, ix two eggs, one slice citron peel, .one- s quarter pound butter, six ounces - 1 granulated sugar, three-quarter gill s .milk, pinch of salt, Cream butter] t and sugar.

Beat egg d and add; then stir in enough milk y to moisten.

Sift flour - ' and rub in shortening, add sugar and g well -beaten egg and milk. Beat five carry their luncheons to school upon those sewing days; and when putting them up, she puts up one for herself, and takes it to the sewing room. She tries to get to work at 9 o'clock, and sews until. 12; then eats her luncheon and rests until 1 o'clock. She stays upstairs until 5, and asks her friends not to visit her, nor to call her up on the telephone on those days. Of course, there will be some unexpected interruptions, but these she tries to guard against. At 5 o'clock she stops work, goes out of doors for a short time, and then starts preparations for dinner. She finds, so she says, by following this plan that in two days she can get a great deal more done and she is much less tired than by doing a little for several days. Another woman, who appears to ac- complish a great deal of sewing, says that it is done by always keep- ing a bit on hand downstairs, so that if a neighbor drops in, or if one of the family offers to read aloud in the evening, she has something ready to do, and does not have to hunt for either work or materials. While on the subject of spring sew- ing, remember new cotton material is better for being shrunk. Here is a way of doing it which appears to be better than shrinking the goods in the piece. This new way is to cut and make the garment from the new ma- terial, leaving the hem unsewed; then put the dress into a basin of cold water, to which salt or turpentine is added to set the color, and after soak - ng it for a few minutes, hang it out to dry, letting the water drip and pin- ning to the clothes line, so that the hem, or the end where the hem will be, hangs down. When the 'dress is dry, dampen if necessary, in order to press smoothly; then turn up the hem, and stitch. Cake Recipes.

What the British Bert has done in 1915 is the subject of an exhaustive article in the Daily Telegraph by Mr. Archibald Hurd. In the course of this article, Mr. Hurd Writes:— "Concentration and initiative—in these two words lies, in large mea- sure, the secret of our success at sea. The fleet sprang a surprise on the enemy in the early clays of August, 1914, from which he has never recovered. It took the offen- sive and thus dedicated strategy. Our fortunes at sea have been in contrast with our fortunes on land for that reason. For a time the German cruisers in distant waters seemed to have things their own way. Authority was not distracted from its primary purpose in the North Sea—the containing of the High Seas Fleet. "'All in good time.' it was said in so many words, the other seas will be swept clear; we refuse to be di- erted from our strategy, which we are convinced is as sound as it is simple. The nation may be worried by losses of merchant ships here and there; they do not seriously matter; what matters is that the enemy should be thrown back on the defen- sive war.' Was the policy a success? "If the war has not yielded all that officers and men anxiously anticipated in the early days of August last year, it has given us in these islands peace, and even prosperity. We might have anticipated as much. It was, it is true, assumed by some persons that the Germans would not relinquish without a struggle all the added strength which the seas offer to a nation in the throes of war. Some effort would surely be made, either by a 'bolt from the blue' in the early days or by crafty use of some chance or carefully prepared opportunity, to interfere with our command of the ocean communications. No German Flag on Seas. "These expectations have not been fulfilled; for a year and a half the battleships of bhe High Sea Fleet have only ventured on one occasion beyond the narrow limits of their i protected waters; excursions in the Baltic have met with repeated disas- ters; since the close of 1914 the Ger- man flag, naval or commercial, has been banished from every ocean. In former wars no blockade opera- tions ever succeeded in keeping all an enemy's ships in fort; from time to time squadrons have eluded the most careful watch and got away to sea, as witness the French squadron which eseorted Napoleon's army to EEgypt in 1708, and Villeneuve's es- cape to the West Indies in 1805 During the present war the enemy has only once moved a single bat- tleship from behind the protection of his mines and the defence of the shore guns. • "That is a remarkable fact. Not a German battleship has been in the open sea for many months; not a German battle cruiser has been out- side the Zarebu since the opening of the present year, when the Blucher A long sentence doesn't worry a was sunk and the Deriflingei and the reader as such as it does a criminal, has had all the sea room which the world's oceans offer, while the Ger- man high sea fleet has been confined within an area so small that an Am- erican would not describe it as a lake. "What is probably hardly realized is that the record of the British fleet in the present war has no parallel in history. In the past enemy frigates always succeeded in getting out of ports, however carefully watched — when there were no mines and sub - I marines to harrass the blockading force—and doing great injury to ov- ersea possessions and trade. Since I the battle of the Falkland Islands the only damage done to our mer- chant ships has been inflicted by ' submarines; that has been relatively small in home waters since the of- fensive -defensive measures were de veloped. "The extent of the success of the' fleet is not to be judged by battles or engagements, but by the power , which it has been instrumental in creating. The whole fabric of our life in these islands hangs on one thread. The comparative measure of prosperity which we are enjoying is traceable to our command of the sea. The widespread character of our military operations is due to the same cause. HOSPITALS OF PETItOGRAD THE SUNDAY SCHOOL 77,777707 INTEI:tNA.TIONAL LESSON,. FEBRUARY 277 Lesson XX.—The Seven Helpers, Acts 6.. Golden Text; ' Gal. 6, 2. Verse 1. Grecian Jews ---A special use of the word Hellenist, to describe Jews who were brought up in the Dispersion and had been accustomed to speak Greek. Many of them would take the first opportunity they could get of removing Palestine. Hebrews were (properly) dwellers in Palestine whose language was Aramaic, though they would generally 'understand Greek. The cleavage between the two classes depended most of all on the fact that the Bible of the farmer wire the Septuagint, while "Hebrews" used the original. Note that Paul (Phil, 8, 5) insists that he was"a Hebrew and the descendant of Hebrews," al- though Greek was for him as much a native language as Aramaic, and he was entirely familiar with the Greek Old Testament. Neglected—"Were being overlooked"; the sequel is enough to show that it was quite un- intentional. The Hellenists were largely newcomers, and it was very natural that bhe widows of men who 1 had been in the city all their lives should be noticed first. 2, It must be remembered that the twelve had a message bo give which Icould not be delegated. Other men could preach as well—hardly one of them could match Stephen, far less Paul. Many other men could organize i charity better than they. But they could tell what they hacl seen and heard of the words and works, the death and resurrection of Jesus; and in this they could have no substitutes. 3. The method proposed is very significant for the history of the Christian ministry. These officers of the church—"poor stewards" we should call them in British Methodism i —are to be elected by the whole mem- bership, and installed by the twelve. The conditions are that they must be members, of well-recognized character and not only men of judgement, but deeply spiritual. For the Spirit is needed just as much for "serving tables"—that is, the counters over which money is paid—as for preaching or praying. There were to be seven, the sacred number, an additional re- minder that this was no "secular" work which the twelve rejected as not good enough for them. Note 'they are never called "deacons"; we need not diseuss the later tradition that gave them the name, but the New Testament knows nothing of the ap- plication. Appoint over this business The twelve will transfer to them work they had hitherto done themselves. 4. The prayer—Literally, it is put first as the outstanding feature of Christian meetings. The ministry— Or service; for the word is significant- ly identical with " serve tables" in verse 2. The word—"The gospel." 5. The translation above tries to imitate the Old Testament flavor which Luke here, as so often, gets out of the Septuagint to give an aroma to his phraseology. They chose a boar of whom every member bore a Greek name. Were the Hellenists in such an overwhelming majority? But if it was an unfair representation, by which the "Hebrew" widows would suffer, were the twelve likely to en- dorse it? Philip—See Acts 8. 5, etc.; 21. 8. He is the only one besides Stephen of whom we hear anything more. The Acts must not be ex- pected to supply biographies of the seven when most of the twelve are passed by. Nicolaus—One might al- most suggest that he is precisely des- cribed in order to distinguish him from some other Nicolaus—the one whose name was attached to the an- tinomian sect of the Nicolaitans ? 6. Laid their hands—A symbolic figure familiar in Old Testament rit- ual. It suggested, as it does in many primitive religions, the passing on of grace and special functions from one person to another. It was destined to give rise to a most unapostolic succession of superstitious ideas, but was perfectly simple and very sug- gestive ine its origin. 7. Priests—This marks the climax of the humiliation of the proud high priests: their own order is changing its Sat ueee principles for the gos- pel of the resurrection. Were obed- ient to the faith—Compare Rom. 1. 5 (margin). Faith is a monarch de- manding a very practical Ioyalty. Stephen's brief story is to show us that. Are Said to Be the Most Up -to -Date in Europe. According to Mr. Wm. Barnes Stev-1 ens, who has spent twenty-six years in Russia, the Petrograd hospitals are in some respects the most up-to-date in Europe. In "Petrograd, Past and Present" (Grand Richards), he says: These vast buildings are supported by a tax levied on every peasant, working man or woman in the capital —an equitable system of taxation se- cured by simply affixing a stamp to the passport of every member of the working class once a year when he or she goes° to the police -office to have it vised or renewed. The expenses of the host of officials required to ad- minister, for instance, the English National Insurance Act is thus saved Had the municipal authorities to sup- port an army of clerks for the collect- ing and tabulating of the tax there would be very little left for hospitals themselves. In all the town hospitals, everyone who has paid the tax, which amounts to one rouble (2s.) a year, is attended free of charge. The apothecaries' and chemists' shops are all under the supervision of the Crown, and by experts are said to be unrivalled both in the quality of the drugs supplied and the care taken in making up prescriptions. Each quarter of the city has its own special apothecary, carrying on his business under Government inspect - tion. Should there be any serious', complaint the Imperial privilege, or licence for dispensing, is taken away and bestowed on someone Marc worthy.

FROM OLD SCOTLAND NOTES OF INTEREST FROM HER BANKS AND BRAES. What Is Going On in the Highlands and Lowlands of Auld Scotia. The public school, Earlston, has re. assembled after a recess of more Ithan a month, caused by an epidemic. of measles. Thirty thousand dollars damage was caused by a fire that occurred at the Lorne Linoleum Works, Kirk- caldy, belonging to Barry, Ostiere & Shepherd, Govan School Board at their monthly meeting adopted plans for a new secondary school which is to be erected in the Hillhead district of Glasgow. The parish of Dunblane, which has already given nearly 500 men to the army, had 107 men attested under Lord Derby's scheme -49 single and 48 married. For the past ten months a success- ful V.A.D. Hospital has been conduct- ed in the Abbey buildings at Fort Augustus branch of the Scottish Red Cross Society. The services of the lamp -lighters of Arbroath have been dispensed with for the lighting of the public lamps, and Boy Scouts are now being em- ployed for this work. Balbirnie U. F. Church, Markinch, after an interval of fourteen months, has been re -opened for public worship, it having been in the possession of the military and used by them to billet troops. The factory erected by the Mother- well toy industry has been complet- ed and an interesting ceremony was performed when Lady Hamilton of DaIyell switched on the electric pow- er, starting the machines in the fac- tory. Mugdrum House, overlooking the River Tay at Newburgh, was burned to the ground on New Year's morn- ing. It is thought that the fire was caused by the overheating of a beam below a fireplace. The damage is estimated at $20,000. Several bodies and three ships' boats have been washed ashore in the Orkneys, the deceased being apparent- ly Englishmen. The sterns of all three boats were so broken that it was impossible to ascertain the name of the lost vessel Fifty-four persons were injured, many severely, when a Glasgow tramway car, bound from Springburn to Rutherglen, left the rails and dash- ed into the wall of the bridge that carries the Forth and Clyde Canal over the roadway.
