yf u of my experience, When T first came
out from England I contracted a severe
cold, owing to the change of climate.
It settled on my lungs, and caused me a
great deal of pain. I tried every remedy
I could think of, but got no relief, My
father, who had heard a great deal about
the good dualities of Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup, advised me to try it. I did
so, and I am pleased to say, found im-
mediate relief. I only took one bottle
and it cured me completely. My mother
' had a severe cold also, and Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup cured her, so we
never fall to keep a bottle of it in the
house."

HYSTERIA AMONG GERMANS.
Nervous Strain Causes "Nerves" and
Insanity in the Army.
In the latest German newspapers
and medical journals there are cir-
cumstantial statements about Ger-
many's nervous strain in .the war.
Apparently the increase of hysteria
and insanity has been far greater
than most people imagine. A fine
article in the Deutsche Medizinische
Wochenschrift is by Dr. Meyer, a
surgeon back from the front, and des-
cribes the nerve shattered effects of
high explosives on the typical Ger-1
man recruit.
"We must allow," says. this medi-,
cal authority, "that the new offensive'
in the west and the poor quality of
our recruits have brought with them
an increase of hysteria." It appears
from other communications that it
has been necessary to have special;
wards in hospitals for the growing,
class of demented soldiers and ner- I
vous breakdowns. Evidently this
subject presses more and more upon
the public mind of Germany as the
war wears on. Everywhere the
press and the medical authorities,
though carefully censored, go sur
prisingly far in laying bare the less
theatrical al side of war. The follow-
ing passage from an article by Pro-
fessor Gaupp is well worth quoting:
"There are plenty of men," writes I
the German expert, "men otherwise 1
energetic and normal, whose ner-
vous ry <tems are , not equal to the
strain .unci harship of modern war
fare. The temper of their souls is
not proof against the danger, cru-
elty and terror." The professor has
coined a word, "granatkontusionen,"
to deeee'bs• the effect of an exn1oding
shell. Without causing a single ex-
ternal wound it produces a shock, a
coneueeion of the brain and spine,
which often leaves men unconscious
for ht' ';; and even days. When they
-are a:wakened they are often deaf

What Complicates Cooking?
It may be pleasant to sit down to
dinner of boiled soup, fried chicken
baked potatoes and steamed apple be
ty. But from the. point of view of thi
woman who does her own work, th
sort of a meal involves too complieat
ed cooking, The meal in whielt se
venal different processes, as boiling,
frying, baking and steaming are all
involved is the meal that is most dif
fleult to cook and serve.
We do not quarrel with such meal
served in hotels or in the home i
there is sufficient service. But for th
woman who does her own housewor
the meal involving different cookin
processes is wasteful of time and de
cidedly wasteful of fuel and utensils
It is not possible to serve as easily
Meal with boiled, baked, steamed an
fried foods as it is the one -fuel meal
in which all the foods are virtually
cooked by the same method.
We wonder why our grandmother,
with 16 children, could accomplish all
the marvels that she did. Perhaps
one litt'e secret may be that when she
baked she baked, and when she boiled
she boiled,. and that she did not at
tempt so many kinds of cooking a
once. For instance, there is the tim
honored "boiled dinner" in which th
meat, potatoes, vegetables and eve
soup were all cooked together. Ther
was also the baked diner, in whiel
perhaps baked beans, baked potatoe
and a baked pudding were served.
Now, although we may prefer dif
ferent kinds of cooking at the sam
meal, we will not follow this plan i
we are willing to conserve our time an 1
energy. 'Wo will frequently, at least
follow the one -fuel meal and carry on
only one kind of process at a time
For instance, there are many dinners
in which everything can be a baked
food. Such a one is a roast, baked
potatoes, a boiled vegetable cooked,
however, in its pot in the oven, and a
baked pudding. It is just as easy to
boil vegetables in an oven as it is to
boil them on top of the stove.
Again, there is the steamer dinner
in which everything—meat, potatoes
vegetables and dessert—can all be
put into a steam cooker over one hole
and be ready at the same time.
There is also the boiled dinner, which
is preferably cooked in one large
kettle, and good corned beef, good pot
roast and other meats are delicious
cooked with the vegetables, potatoes,
etc.
If we are frying, it is best to make
the meal almost wholly a fried meal,
as a fried steak, accompanied with
fried potatoes, fried peppers or toma-
toes, or other vegetables which can
be 'c6oked on the top of the stove at
the same time. The Mexicans and the
Spanish know how to fry, but you will
note that they fry vegetables along
with the meat, and do not, like our-
selves, have a fried meat, a boiled
vegetable and a baked dessert, per-
haps.
One of the most difficult points for
the young housekeeper is to co-ordin-
ate her cooking and to serve the dif-
ferent portions of the meal complete-
ly done at the same time. The reason
this is usually hard is because she has
to estimate the different tiro for rlif-
feront cooking methods. If on the
other hand, she follows the same
method at the same meal, she could
accomplish her work with less effort.
We do not mean that this shonlrl he
done every day, but that co-ordinated
cooking is easier and should be -used
to relieve the complicated cooking we
generally follow.

FERRETS ARE BOOMING.
The War is Helping Many Half-for-
gotten Village Industries.
One curious result of the war has
been to revive some of the ancient,
half-forgotten English village indus-
tries.
Flint-knapping, for instance, which
• has been carried on, at Brandon, in
Suffolk, for ninny generations, and
which almost received its death -blow
—but not quite—when the old flint-
lock musket was superseded by the
percussion -cap rifle, has recently been
given a tremendous fillip owing to the
demand for flints for tinder -boxes by
the men at the front.
Charcoal -burning, again, which was
a flourishing industry in the Sussex
weald hundreds of years ago before
coal was thought of, may now be seen '
in full swing there once again, the
War Office having recently ordered
large supplies for use in the trenches.'
Charcoal makes an ideal fuel for this
purpose, being smokeless, and giving
out an intense heat.
The charcoal -burner- pursues his
calling in the open air, and he works
Ion an accepted formula handed down
from earliest times through many gen-
orations. Green oak los only must

he used, and those are all cut to the
fame size, and stacked together in
such a way as to form a low, conical -
1;, -sha=red heap.
This is then covered with freshly -
cut turf, and set fire to; but it needs
constant watching and attention, for
if • combustion bre c els too quickly
the smouldering pile may burst into
flare, when the resultant product will
be, of course. not charcoal, but ashen.
Ordinarily if rr'oiler care be excrcieeci,
the calcining process is complete in
about twelve hours; after which the
stack is left to cool for a few days,
before being opened..
ri he braediiig"of ferret, has been a
village industry in England almost
front time immemorial, but the de -
mend for the little creatures had
greatly fallen. off during recent years.'
Now, however, owing to the insistent'
call for ferrets to kill the rats which
swarm in the trenches in France and
Flanders, the demand has jumped r
suddenly to far in excess of the sup- 1

I ian, Acts 8. 26-40. .Golden Text:
Acts 8. 30.
Verse 26. An angel—The manner.
of the divine monition is not explain
ed. If we know the plain prose of
the event we might say it was only
some strange coincidence. Luke is
mainly concerned with its being taken
as the Lord's doing. Philip—One of
the seven, as Acts 21. 8 males fairly

ed from the congregation of Israel by
the law. He could hardly have been
a proselyte, but the Septuagint was
open to him --the papyri of upper
Egypt shows us how Greek was spoken
in those distant regions --and in its
pages he would come as near as he
could to the true God.
28. Reading—Aloud, as the word
usually implies. Since Creel: MSS.
were written without division of words
or punctuation, reading aloud was the
"easiest way of taking in the meaninc;,

ing, vividly presented in acted parable
by baptism was preached by the
- apostles as 'the necessary precursor
of spiritual baptism, with "Holy spirit
and fire." The eunuch has accordingly
learned that he must break with his
. past and make open confession of his
_ new Master. An interesting and an-
cient interpolation (verse 37) gives
us Philip's reply and the eunuch's
brief, but sufficient creed, "Jesus
Christ is Lord."
39. The manner of Philip's disap-
pearance is not explained any more
, than the outward form of God's mes-
r sage to him. The main thought
seems to be that Philip's work is done
and the preacher—like every true
preacher—is thankful to efface him-
self and leave the happy soul alone
with its newyfound joy.
40. A .eters—The Philistine city of
Ashdod, where evangelist finds new
work to do. In Caesarea he seems to
have settled (Acts 21, 8), and found
a sphere of service where there was
enough to do for many years. Hie

MIRACLES WROUGHT BY` MOD-
ERN SURGERY,
Cures Might Be Regarded as Fiction
Were They Nat Seen and
Vouched For.
One of the wonders of the war,
about which little or nothing is heard
by the general public, is the miracu4
nous surgery performed in our hos-
pitals.
There have been many instances in
which soldiers' faces have been patch-
ed and repaired, almost as the cob -
bier would repair boots. New lips
have been given, holes in the face have
been filled up—indeed, the work of
repairing faces has become almost a
distinct. branch of modern surgery.
In Paris there exists a hospital de
voted to the work of mending sol
diers' features, says London Answers
Wounded by Gramophone Needles.
The bursting of a shell sometimes
causes queer injuries. Recently a
soldier in the 4th Welsh happened to
be close to a gramophone when a shell
burst near by. The explosion scatter-
ed a box of gramophone needles, sev-
enteen of which were subsequently
extracted from the soldier's back. In
another case, a man was found to
have over a hundred little bits of
metal in his hand from a shrapnel
shell.
That meals are often taken under
considerable disadvantages at the
Front is shown by the experience of
a soldier, who was pleasantly occu-
piel in eating bully beef when a shell
came along. The shock of the explo-
sion caused him to swallow a tin
disc, with ragged edges, about the
size of half a dollar. The disc lodged
in the man's gullet, and he had great
difficulty in swallowing his food. It
remained in the gullet a week, and
finally established itself opposite the
breastbone. The task of extracting
the disc was successfully performed
by "spreading out" the wound and
pulling out the metal.
Due to Shock.
Many cases of loss of speech
through shock or wounds have been
successfully dealt with; but the num-
ber of cases arising from shock are
few now, because the men are getting
more accustomed to the heavy fire
and huge shells.
One case of loss of voice was that
of a man who was wounded while ly-
ing asleep in his dug -out. He was
awakened by a violent noise, and real-
ized that a shell had burst close to
him. He tried to shout to his friends,
but found that he had lost his voice,'
although he felt no pain. It was found
that a shrapnel bullet had entered the
neck and cut a nerve connected with
the larynx, or "voice box." It lay
close up to the large artery, which
was happily unhurt. The man was
successfully treated, and had almost
entirely recovered his normal powers
of speech when he left the hospital.
In another case of loss of voice
through shock, the pateint was given
ether while he lay on the operating -
table. He startled those around him
by suddenly getting off the c,;,aet'ating-
able and singing and shouting at the
op of his voice. The cure was corn-
plete.
Bullets an Their Travels.
There are many cases in which the
ouree of the bullet has been most ex-
raordinary. For instance, n soldier
tas shot in the knee, and the ballet
could not be traceel. The patient
made very slow progress, and tore-
sently developed complications.
Eventually the b lice v.•as ,:u :1,.e to

the banks have issued notes greatly

good."
