The safest and quickest cure for diarr- hoea, derseatexy, colic, eholera, cholera inorbus, cholera infantile; pains in the stomach and all looseness of the bowels is Dr, Fowler's Extraet of Wild Straw- berry. Mr. Ernest Jeffery, Moose Jaw, Sask., writes: "A few years ago, when I first came out to Catada, 1 wont to the har- vest field to work. Somehow or other the water did tot agree with me, I had the darrhoea so bad that blood was coming from ate, aod I thought my lad days had come, One a the harvest hands advised rne to take Dr, Powkr's Extract -of Wild Strawberry, and before I had used the bottle I was able to go to work again. My advice to all is always keep a bottle of this wonderful diarrhoea cure on hand." "Dr. Fowler's 'has been ou the -market for the past seventy years, and has been aged in thousands of Canadian homes during that time, and we have yet to hear of a case of bowel complaint where It has not given perfect satisfaction.

German Clergymen Foresee Bitter. nese Among Nations, Little hope of peaco and quietness for the belligerent nations after the war is held out by the min4sters of the Evangelical Church hi Germany, ac. cording to reports of recent sermons delivered by them appearing in the London press. One Prussian clergy. Lan, the Rev. Schiller, is quoted as Writing on this subject as follows : "It will be a hard and Iran time, a time of tension, a time of trained arm. aments and readiness. Is the world to wake up after this war more gentle and more harmless? How can that be r Are the peoples to throw off hat- ted and bitterness as actors throw off their masks ? Does anybody believe that treaties will bind them ? No, when the peoples awake after this wag they will find themselves separated by mountains of corpses, by desolate lands, by cities in ruins, by an im- poverished world. "However coinplete ,the victory may be, another and an equally hard strug- gle will then begin. Nothing can help us but the utmost strain and effort and the strictest holding together of the strength and efficiency of the people." Matches Are Re -dipped. Matches which have once been para. iy used are carefully gathered in Japan and redipped in phosphorus.

"SEND MUNITIONS." For God's Sake Be Sure You Send Us Enough." The point of view of the soldier in the trenches if very plainly stated in the following appeal to munition workers and all others engaged more directly in the production of material for the Army, submitted by a wound- ed Tommy at Southampton. He was formerly a reporter, and on the way over in the steamer he wrote this moving message "All I want to say to the people at home ,is this:—You can never eat your dinner, or smoke a pipe, or read a newspaper, or go to 'the pictures,' but what, while you are getting: through with it,. some scores of your own country men are knocked out by Boche bullets and shells. There's not the slightest need for you to be depressed about this. Go ahead with 'the dinner, and the pipe, and the 'pic- tures,' and the rest of it as much as ever you like. We're nob giving away a drop of your countrymen's blood; not this year. It's all being sold on a good business basis and fetching an excellent price, thank yen; a better price it may be than ib ever fetched before in all the history of the Empire. So don't grieve after us. Our High Commands know what they're doing, ,and Master Boche's dootrr is set; and he knows it, and 'We know it. We're doing our bit all right. Are you? "I'm pretty sure you are by the way our heavies have been talking in the last fortnight. Keep it up. We've got a hundied miles front out there, and as far as I can make out we're pressing Master Boche pretty hard over every yard of it. Ib's the only way to end the war; and as for the time it will take, I reckon that's largely in your hands 'now. Our part of the machinery is all right, and I don't think you'll find any failure there. For God's sake, don't you fail us. "Everybody will kite* what I main won't they?

When the British forces in France began their great offensive borabard ment on June 27 and for days hurled into the German lines such an aval- anche of steel and lead as the world had never known before, even the people of England expressed wonder that it should have been possible to assemble so vast a store at munitions. The story of how these supplies were created constitutes one of the most important chapters in the history of British achievement during the war. At the outbreak of hostilities two years ago there were only three im- portant Government munitions factor- ies in the British Isles. To -day some four thousand, Government -controlled firms, employing more than 2,000,000 workers, are turning out virtually all of the tremendous amount of war ma- terials which have gone to equip the five million British soldiers in the field. The organization of this great in- dustry has been accomplished in a little more than one year by the Min- istry of Munitions, which was estab- lished in May, 1915, under the leader- ship of David Lloyd George. In that time every available resource of the country has been built for the produc- tion of munitions. Not Dependent on U.S. A staff of 5,000 people has been re- quired to supervise the work. At the head of this staff and responsible only to the Minister of Munitions has been a man whose organizing ability has been accorded wide -spread recogni- tion. e is Dr. Christopher Addison, internationally known for his medical research work. Dr. Addison, during an interview with a representative of The Associated Press, told as much of the story of the creation of this industry as could be made public at this time. At the outset he disposed of the statement which has been made in America to the effect that if it were not for the munitions furnished by the United States Great Britain would have to quit the war. "I have heard that statement made," said Dr. Addison, "and it is preposterous, of course. The United States has furnished and is furnish- ing many raw materials which we are anxious to get for the manufac- ture of munitions, but so far as the actual production. of shells goes, America has provided us with only a very small percentage of those which we have used." Turning to the manufacturing of munitions, in this country, he contin- ued has extended well nigh to every, con- siderable town—indeed to large num- bers of villages. Could Have Weekly Battle. "We can now produce in less than a month as many of the lighter shells as could have been turned out in the whole year of 1914-15. In less than a fortnight we can make more heavy shells than we could have done in the 1914-15. We can now turn out in a week far more shells, filled and complete, than were used in the, whole battle of Loos, which extend- ed over a fortnight, and they had been saving ammunition for that battle for a month. We could have a battle of Loos every week now, and it wouldn't - touch the shell reserve stock. "Regarding our present capacity for gun production as compared with the capacity of June, 1914, be- fore the war, we aro now making in the case of the lightest guns, over ten times what we were then, in the ease of medium weight guns over 20 times, and in the case of heavy guns I. more than 50 times. "The production of trench warfare! supplies has meant the creation of an industry, of which 'there was practically no experience in this country. Now grenades are being made in backyards aiid in all sorts of sinal shops, as well as in the big factories, and. hundreds of thousands are being produced weekly. Labor Problem Hard, ....'HAPPONEy.:T000.. For SEVERAL . . • DOAN'S .KIDNEY ruits • CURED HIM: '..:•• : - e • Gather Droopings Daily. Filthy houses cannot be in a good healthful conciitiort, On all gleam.. ful farms it is the rule to daily gather up the droopinge of the previous night, and by attending to this duty each day it requires but a few min- utes' time. Beeicles, there will not be that stench found when the manure is allowed to collect for a week or more at a time. By keeping sifted coal ashes, sand or road dust scatter- ed over the platform, the cleaning wil not only be easier, but there will be a better odor to the hotise. The outside runs or yards must: also not be forgotten. Several titres a year they should be either plowed ca spadded, so that the gOli Win not be. cone contaminated, All low places, should be filled up so that no pools of stagnant water will be within reach of the hens. Much sickness is caused by a neglect of this matter. Ib is advisable to have a double yard to each house, so that while the fowls are in the one the vacant lot can be sown to some vegetable crop or seeth- ed to rye or oats. This green crop has a double benefit in both disinfect- ing the soil and in furnishing a green crop for the hens. Poultry Notes. Overfeeding often gets away with quite a number of chicks, but not as many as die from over -crowded con- ditions. Shade for the chickens during hot weather is as essential as good food. They won't thrive if they have to be in the hot sun all day. Avoid crowding by keeping in small • flocks, and by providing roomy coops. Thin out if there are too many chicks. 1 Broody hens should be removed to • slat -bottomed coops as soon as dis- covered. Leave them there till they forget it. Clean fresh water lessens disease. Filthy drinking water is the source of much trouble. Clean the drinking pans frequently. If hens are lousy, rub a piece of blue ointment, the size of a pea, into the skin just beneath the vent, and on the under side of the wings. Mites are sure to accumulate if the droppings are not removed from the poultry house every week, and the sprayedroosts erosene emu mon or a disinfeetent. After the grass, gets tough, chicks can catch more bugs and worms and will grow better on loose soil. There can be no error in mixing cut vegetables and other soft food for the fowls, for their nature craves it. There are eggs in potatoes, and the squash adds si nice flavor to poultry meat. One of the best articles of diet for them is young clover oat fine, and they are very fond of it. Give, animal food to the hens in time, before they quit laying, and it will hurry them through the molting season. They will not then stand around looking haggard and miser- able for weeks, but will go to singing, and soon be ready for business again. You will be sure of plenty of eggs in the fall. Every Town Helps. " At the beginning of the war there were only three important munitions factories in the United Kingdom. In addition, there were a number of large private munitions and armament firms. At the start reliance was placed mainly in. these national fac- tories and experienced firms, and at that time they were full of orders. "In the early stages of the conflict more attention was paid to field guns and their equipment than to heavy guns, but as time went en the require. ments for heavy shells greatly in- ereaSed. In June, 1915, we made an inventory Of all the available nuechira ery in the country and it Was evident that it was entirely inadequate to meet the demands. There wee, how- ever, a great mane' private firms whieli could be brought in to make munitions and it was deoided to mobilize therti for nadonal eervice, In order to do this we created an orgardeatioo embracing the entire coilatte. Thousands of firms have beeh brought in, many of whieh find neer Seen a shell body, or a fuse, or a grenade, or a bond), before, mach lees than made them. Now nea- Mien making in Seine form or others "One of the most anxious problems has been the supply and the distribu- tion of skilled labor. There was not, enough skilled labor to go round.. This fact was recognized by tate trades .unions, and the Government, has received their hearty assistance throughout in the distribution of Skilled labor, and in the dilution of sldlled labor with unskilled. The in- troduction of unskilled labor into the field of skilled labor is a sacrifice of skilled labor, to which no too high, tirbute can be paid. Skilled, men have ' trained and instructed unskilled' workers, and in thousands of cases have willingly been moved from piece work to day wages, with the result that they earned smaller wages than the people they had trained have received at piece work. "This position was rendered more difficult by the fact that many skilled workmea crowded into the army. More than 43,000 highly skilled work- men have since been withdrawn for munitions work." LEFT US A NEW WORD, Words Descriptive of Patriotic Fervor Vary. There lived once in France a sol- er, Nicholas Chauvin, who was so demonstrative in his patriotic fervor that he made a fool of himself, and ever since his day a man who dis- plays a cocky and hysterical patriot tism is called a Chauvinist. In Eng- land such a man is called a Jingo. A Jingo is always bragging about his country's preparedness to fight,. In Germany Uzi% form 01 patriotism is known as Pangermanism, in Russia it is called Panslavism, and in the United States it is labelled "spread- eagleisrn, The only patriotism which some men seem capable of ex- hibiting is a contempt for other na- tions and a glorification of their own. Let us agree that all such patriotism is dangerous, as well as silly, and let us face the problem of cultivating a. patriotism which is rational and Chris- tian. FURTHEST NORTH TOWN. Longyear City Mining Town Holds Record. Not only is Longyear City the most northerly raining town, but it bids fair to become a place of linportance, now that a Norwegian company has taken over the vast coal fields of Spitzber. gen. The enterprise is on a vete large Scale. The coal fields which the Nor- wegian compaey will develop cover an Area of over 666 square fiancee, of which one-sevetzth has been surveyed, and it ,estitaated that this alone will yield something like loq,om000 tons of coal from the first strattim, and the second etratana will probably yield as mach hiere. There are other coal veins of which little is yet known. The enter- prise is regarded as a national one, end eventually thousands of millers will be employed. 9 FEAR BRITISH WILL LAND. Marine Corps Reenforced on the Flemish Coast. Now that the Entente Allies have taken the offensive on all fronts the Germans are more than ever reckon- ing with the passibility of an attempt to land British troops on the Flemish coast, according to a frontier corre- spondent of the Amsterdam Tele- graaf. The marine corps has been re- inforced, while a whole army of mili- tary workmen has been seen at the port of Zeebrugge. Recently an alarm was sounded at 10.30 at night and the garrison there hurried to their posts. It turned out that no attack threatened, but the whole affair was a rehearsal of the operations for repelling a landing. The coastal guns suddenly belched forth, while the rattle of the mitrail- leuses could be heard at Flushing. The entire manceuvre lasted about half an hour.

The decision to take a ship that would not touch at Ephesus illustrates the immense importance Paul attached to his offering the gifts of the Gentile Christians at the time when there would be a large con- course of Jewish Chrisians in the Holy City.

In the first century the names were intet- changeable, denoting the same work from different point of view; indeed, they are hardly technical titles at all yet. Those who "watched on be - hall of souls" were called variously superintendents (bishops), seniors (presbyters), servants (deacons), or leaders. A stereotyped constitution, with a monarchieal "bishop." set above his "fellow elders" (compare 1 Peter 5. 1), is a development of the second century. Providence ordained that the nuthoritive books should have no Axed form of chinch government, so that ages /night be free to deter-. mine his purely administrative matter in their own way. 19.
