Mrs. Garnet Bums, 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 tight for coughing, I went to the doctor, and he told me that I wag gettin:„ bronchitis. My husband went to the druggists, and asked them if they had a cough medicine of any kind that they could recommend. The druggist brought out a bottle of Dr. Wood's Norway Pius Syrup. I started using it, and it com- pletely cured me of my cold. I cannot tell you how thankful I 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. There are a lot of imitations on the market, so when you go to your druggist. or dealer see that you get " Dr. Wood's;" put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; the price, 25c and 50c. !The genuine is manufactured by The T.

To clean lamp burners wash them in wood ashes and water and they will come out clean and bright. Wipe the kitchen oilcloth with skim- med milk. This treatment is almost as beneficial to the cloth as a coat of varnish. To clean bamboo furniture use a brush dipped in warm water and salt. The salt prevents the bamboo from turning color. To make an excellent dressing for linoleum take equal parts of linseed oil and cider vinegar and mix them thoroughly together. If you rub a little butter under the spout of the cream pitcher it will pre- vent a drop of cream running down the side of the pitoher. Coffee and tea stains, if rubbed with soap -suds, will come out, leaving the table linen quite fresh and white. Rub cornstarch en a grease spot mad grease. (tub orf to two hours. If not all gone repeat un - till the spot is cleared of grease. Salt should never remain in any- thing rubber—for instance, hot water bottles or syringes. Rinse them out thoroughly or the rubber will soon rot. As you pack each article for mov- ing make a note of where you put it, and when you want to reach a certain article you can do it without any dif- ficulty. When about to clean paint in a kitch- en or other rooms where there is a stove heat a boiler of water and allow it to boil without a cover for a long time. A clothes pin bag made of bed -ticking, or something stout, in the form of a pocket with a slit on the front side is much easier to get at than a com- mon bag. Pudding cloths should not be washed with soap, but placed in a pan of cold water with a little soda and allowed to boil for ten minutes. Rinse in cold water. Tea kettles would last longer if after use they were turned upside down to , drain dry. It is the little drop of water left at the bottom which starts the rust that ends in a leak.

In spite of the heavy increase of the duty on tobacco the consumption last year exceeded that of 1914 by 5,597,- 485 pounds. This is the chief fea- ture of the national tobacco bill. The bill has been compiled by R. P. Mon- chieff of Newcastle -an -Tyne. The total consumption in 1915 was 116,580.700 pound's, against 110,983,215 pounds in 1914, the increase being 5,- 597,485, Mr. Monscrieff points out that these figures do not include the tobacco sup- plied "duty free" to the trenches and wounded )nen in the military hospitals. The consumption per family (in spite of the huge decrease of men through military and naval demands) allowed an increase in 1915 of 5 per cent. THE RUSSIAN LEADER.

Bells have been employed in asso- elation with religious worship since the early days of Egypt. Cymbals and hand bells and small crotals serv- ed for the festival of Isis. Aaron and + other Jewish high priests ware bells of gold upon their raiment. In camp and garrison the Greeks employed bells. The Romans announced the hour of bathing by their melody. Cop- per and tin, the old composition, is still regarded as the best bell metal. Steel has been tried but does not make a successful bell. Glass belts are mellow and beatuitful in tone, but the material is too fragile. The one metal which -is impossible is that which everybody imagines makes the best bell—silver. a4 THE CIGAR TRICK.

The t'nie fur safe planting~ is a, mat- ter that worries the amateur garden- er. It is better to be sure than sorry. Early planting is all very good in cer- tain' situations, well drained, with eastern exposure and protection from the north and west winds. If this ag •regation of eireunlsances is not possible,'it is best to delay until na- tore gives a reliable signal. One of the beet indications of the safe time to put things into the ground is the blossoming of the trees, The earli planiing is of trio peas, the smooth seeded varieties. The wrinkled varieties must be put in when the ground is warm, but the others resist cold and, even wet ground. When the leaves appear on the maples it is safe to put the smooth peas in. The flowering of the peach is the signal for the other varieties, which are of a more delicate flavor, but lack the earliness which makes the smooth kinds so "tasty" before any other crop is ready. About the same time it is safe in this latitude to put out onion sets. These are tiny bulbs which have been grown the preceding year. They give a good crop of scullions for early eat- ing and the ground used for them can be later sown with beets or some other crop. A pinN, planted to the extent of half a dozen feet for a row, at intervals of three or four days will give a succession. One long row can be planted to mature in the ground; onions 'can be dug up from time to time for use, the row thus is thinned out to allow room for the re- mainder to attain f 1 size. As soon as the ground can be work- ed into a fairly fine condition o couple of rows of spinach can be seeded in. This will give room later for another crop. When the cherry blossoms open is a good time to put in onion seed for the main crop. These can be thinned out generously for table use, permitting the residue to mature fully. This, too, is a cafe time for putting out lettuce plants, which can be bought for about 15 cents a dozen, or started in a cold frame or in boxes indoors, Radishes. can safely be planted in the open at this time. You will have to wa't till the pear trees blossom before putting out the early carrots, turnips and, parsnips. Parsley and sage can be planted for the herb garden (which every amateur shuuld have, as it takes up only a ;few square feet of ground in a cor- nor) at this time. The parsley is very slow to germinate and should be soaked over night to give the seeds a start before they are put into their place in shallow drills. This is a safe date also to put out, cabbage plants if any have been grown in the cold frame. Cabbage plants of the early varieties can be bought for a few cents a dozen at the nurserymen's. Late tomatoes can be planted out in the open in a temporary seed bed at this date. But it will be too early to set out plautr. These can be bought a little later for about 30 to 50 cents adozen. A half dozen early and half a dozen late tomatoes will be an abundance for a family of three. Larger families can be provided for in proportion. Apple blossom time is early enough for several vegetables. Hills of early cucumbers can be planted then. Squash, muskmelons and pumpkins also wait till this date or a. little later. Beets can be planted directly where they are to mature at this time, or can be planted in the temporary seed bed and transplanted when they have attained three or four leaves:. blossom time. It is better to wait on Early corn can be put in in apple corn for the sake of safety, as the seed may rot in the ground if there is a wet spell. Wax and string beans can be plant- ed in the rows shortly after the apple trees are in bloom. WHAT A GENERAL MUST UNDERSTAND NECESSARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF A COMMANDER. A Successful General Must be the Most Versatile Man in the World. When the man in the street talks of a general commanding an army he generally sends him up as a 'good soldier," and fancies he has said all that need be said about the distin- guished officer. As a matter of dry fact, he has said nothing at all about the general. What the man in the street means by a "good soldier" means very little to bhe general, for to be a good soldier, i.e., to lead armed men, is about the last thing necessary to a modern com- mander. He has to be, of course, an expert in military methods in strategy, which means the art of handling forces ab a distance from the enemy, and tactics, which means the art of handling that force when in actual touch with the enemy, and he Must know military routine from A to Z. But that is only the cap of his knowledge. For instance, he must know quite a lot about the comparative values of food, not only because he must keep his army well fed, but because he has to carry with him the minimum quan- tity to keep his moving army in a state fo efficiency. He has to know haw many horses can pull how many wagons of this food, and how many miles they can pull them. He has even to compute how much forage those horses will require, and what will be their daily rate of progress. Carrying Ammunition. In the same way he is a cartage ex- pert, who .knows that ib is not how much ammunition his army can fire off, but how much ammunition it can carry that counts in the actual battle, and he must know which will be the easiest ammunition to carry, and the special circumstances of its carrriage. Thus, if he is bo assault fortifications, he will not carry shrapnel, which is of great use against advancing infan- try, but avails little against concrete bastions, and if he is to face only at- tacking army divisions, he will not trouble himself much with high ex- plosive shell, which is used mainly against fortifications. He must also know about the en- durance limit of every regiment he employs, recognizing which regiment can stand bhe hard grind of heavy marching, which Will remain stubborn under the most terrible bombardment, and which can be used .with electric dash at the decisive moment of a charge. He mast know how to handle his ar- biliery likea master, not only as a death -dealing, defensive -shattering in- strument, but also in its effect as a means of destroying the nerve of the men opposing him. A terrific and well -handled bombardment ab the right moment may do more to win the fight for hien than a whole day's shelling. All this is knowledge bearing imme- diately on battles. He must possess an immense amount of varied knowl- edge that will enable him to take his army at the pitch of its efficiency into batle. Must be Jack -of -All -Trades. To this end he has to know some- thing about surveying, engineering, bridge -building, road -making, rail- road -laying, telegraphy, fortifications, mining, bhe manufacture and applica- tion of high-power explosives, trench- turning, sanitation, camp, town and barrack planning, plumbing, cooking, camp range making, store -keeping, ballooning, aeroplaning, rough medi- cine, first aid, rough surgery, veterin- ary, farriery, smith -work, lathe -turn- ing, small -arm making, field gun re- pairing, and a host of other crafts and industries. He has experts to help him, naturally, but he must know something of these things if he is to guide and take advantage of experts. And when he has fought his battles and defeated his foe he must be an ex- pert in both military and international law, and he must be a good discipli- narian and a good diplomat, too, for he has to see that he and his country are not over -reached by the diplo- matic skill of their adversary. And, above all, he has to be a hu- man individual, and not a highly -skill- ed machine, so as to overcome the hu- man element in bhe composition of his enemy, no less than to be humane in victory. His Alibi. An agent, approaching a house, met a little boy at the garden gate and asked: "Is your mother home?" "Yes, sir," said the ,boy, politely. The agent walked across the long lawn and, after rapping several times without receiving an answer return- ed to the youth, saying: "I thought you said your mother was at home." "Yes, sir, she is," replied the boy, "But I have rapped several times without receiving an answer?" "That may be ,sir," said the boy. "I don't live there." When it Came to That. A cockney angler thinking his Highland boatman was not treating fern with the respect due his station, expostulated thus : "Look here, my good man, • you don't seem to grasp who I am.

Wound Treatment by the Use of Bail. Ing 011 and His Experiment. The use of boiling all as a treat 1110111 for open. W0u11d4 allel ulcers is not modern. Ambrose Pare, the 111as• ter of &'rench surgery, employed this method of treating tho wounds of soldiers about 400 years ago, writes a Paris correspondent to the New York Sun, But such at treatment 11. s" just come to the forefront of medius''' discussion to the Academy of Medieina by Dr. Berate de Sandfort, who has been experimentiug along this tine fog the last thirteen years, Ambrose Pare found that by pour- ing hot oil in an open wound he was able to sterilize the wound and cause the quicker formation of Natures pro- tective covering—the scmb, One day, according to his memories, as he was treating the wounded bottled up ltd Metz by Charles Quint,' he was un- abTe to obtain any more oil. Pare was thus forced t'o seek some other method of stopping the flow of blood. He hit upon the idea of the ligature of arteries, and this made him fam- ous. His name has come down to us as the father of modern surgery. Use of Paraffin Wax. Dr. Barthe de Standfort thirteen years ago took up the old method and has improved upon It. Instead of using oil, width burns the wound, eh used paraffin, which does not burn. He diseovered this method by plung- ing into paraffin heated to 100 degrees Centigrade. To his surprise he found that his finger was not burned, and that the skin was rendered insensible to pain. This naturally gave him the idea of using heated paraffin for the treatment of wounds and ulcers. Inhis address before the Academy .of Medicine Dr. Barthe de Sandfart called his new branch of science "Keritherapie," from the Greek keri, meaning wax. His entire method is based on the ability of tissues to stand a heat of from 50 degrees to 100 de- grees, and particularly on the con- tractibility of paraffin in cooling. This wax, when put on a wound in a liquid state, solidifies around the wound and preserves its heat much longer than any substance which has hot water as a vase. Dr. Bartle de Sandfort has added resins to his wax, particularly amber, which gives a greater consistence to the paraffin. Swam In Bolling Wax. For ten years Dr. Barthe de Sand - fort used his discovery for treatment of diseased arteries, rheumatism, vari- cose veins and simllar maladies, and with considerable success. Then he had the idea that if he could treat certain parts of the body be could treat as well the entire body. :.io to test his theory he himself leaped into a vat of heated wax and escaped with- out danger. tie thus describes that experience. "On November 5, 1909," he said, "I visited the old refinery at Pamir', and to the great astonishment of the Manager, who accompanied rte. I undressed and prepared to jump into the vat. The temperature in the re- finery was about seven degrees Centi- grade. In the vat, which contained about 300 liters of paraffin, the tem- perature was 51 degrees, I was not burned at all, but when I touched the metal bottom I found ib extremely hot, and so had to keep swimming all the time. I remained in the vat about five minutes. My pulse had increased appreciably, but otherwise I did not(. feel the slightest inconvenience.
