SOUTH AFRICA PROSPERS.
Great Expansion Noted. in Her Agri-
cultural Industries..
r The Union of South Africa com-
prises the four British colonies, Cape
of Good Hope, Natal, the Transvaal,
and the Orange Free State. These
States united May 3., 1910, with the
idea of reducing to a minimum the
expenses of maintaining a govern-
ment, and at the same time of afford-
ing mutual protection to each other
from outside influences. A Senate
and House of Assembly elected by
popular vote enact the local laws, the
King england being represented
by acxovernor General whom he ap-
points.
The total area occupied by these
possessions of Great Britain covers
473,100 square miles, with a European
population of 1,276,806 and a native
population of 4,697,852, the majority
being black and pagans.
Mining and agricultural develop-
, ments are followed by most of the in-
habitants. Of late years dairying and
stock raising have taken remarkable
strides forward owing to the rather
unique assistance rendered by the
steamship lines from Great Britain in
bringing without charge pedigreed
cattle, for breeding purposes, to all
of these colonies. As a consequence
of this far-seeing policy of the steam-
ship companies, 10,741,745 pounds of
butter and 520,849 pounds of cheese
fere exported to Europe in 1914.
In connection with stock raising
many farmers have large numbers of
ostriches, the last census showing
that there were in captivity 746,736
of these birds, from which 1,023,307
pounds ''high-grade feathers were
exported in 1914 having a monetary
value of more than $15,000,000.
While much of the country is well
adapted to cattle farming the ship-
ping of frozen meat is still in its in-
fancy, and will ultimately add much
'tee the prosperity of the inhabitants.
Sheep are extensively raised and in
1914 176,987,473 pounds of high-grade
Wool, worth $80,000,000, were ship -
ed to European and American mar-
kets,

AN ANXIOUS ME
O R ALL PARENTS
Children Often Seem to Pane
Away and Ordinary Medicine
Does Not Help Them.
Tho health of children between the
ages of twelve and eighteen years,
particularly in the case of girls, is a
source ofo serious worry $o nearly
every mother. The growth sepid de-
velopment takes so much of their
strength that in many cases they
actually seem to be going leto a de-
cline. The appetite is fickle, bright-
ness gives way to depression, there
are headaches, fits of dizziness, pal-
pitation of the heart at the least ex-
ertion, and sometimes fainting. The
blood has become thin and watery' and
the sufferer must have something that
will bring back the blopd to its normal
condition. At this stage no other medi-
cine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Their whole mission is to make
new, rich blood, which reaches every
part of the body, bringing back
health, strength and energy, Miss
Helena Taylor, West Toronto, says:
"Two years ago I was so badly run
down with anaemia that some of my
friends did not believe I would get
better. I could not go upstairs with-
out stopping to rest, suffered from
headaches,• loss of appetite; and for
two months of the time was confined
to the house. • I was under the care
of a doctor, but the medicine I took
dict not help ins in the least. A friend
advised my mother to give me Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and although I
did not expect they would help me
after the doctor's medicine had fail-
ed, I thought they (night be worth
trying. After taking two boxes
there was such a marked change for
the better that people asked me if I
had changed doctors, and I readily
told them the medicine that was help-
ing me. I continued taking the pills
until I hacl used eight boxes, when my
health was fully restored, and I have
since enjoyed the best of health. I
hope my experience may be the means
of convincing some sickly person that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can restore
them to health."
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine, or by mail, post
paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. •
PRISONERS IN NEED OF FOOD.

among the greatest sufferers from the
food shortage prevailing in -that coun-1 according to reports made by !
some of the sisters of the Russian:
Red Cross upon their return from a
visit 'to the German prison camps.
These charges are contained in copies.
of Russian newspapers that reached
Switzerland in July and are being 1
reprinted by many Swiss papers. The ;
following is part of a report appear-
ing in the Russky Wjedomosty of
Moscow of an address delivered in'
the ancient capitalby
Russian Miss
N. Orsschevskaya, a member of the
Russian Red Cross.
"Externally the camps are ideally
arranged. They are almost all of i
the same type; barracks built upon a
broad,_entirely open plain. They have
electric lighting, sewer systems, and
disinfecting rooms. On the sanitary
'
side they are faultless; there are no
epidemics at all. All the prisoners
are vaccinated against smallpox, ty-1
phus, and cholera. Most of the medi- i
cal service is done by Russian physi-
cians. There is a noticeable shortage
of medicines. The German doctors i
are kind in their treatment of the
prisoners.
"The thing that filled the sister ,
with horsey, however, when she went
through' .he camp was the selfsame
compla-.it -that she heard every-
where: 'We are hungry; we shall yet
die of ,hunger here.' This complaint
dogged her footsteps through all the,
camps iia South Germany. The ra-
tions are insufficient. The soldiers '
are supposed to get 300 grams (about
101/a ounces) of bread a day, but in
reality they receive Iess. Everywhere'
the prisoners refuse to do work that i
might be used for military purposes,'
something which has a sharper re-
gime as a consequence, such as pun -I1
ishment by imprisonment and being
bound to a stake. The application of
the last numbed punishment was jus-
tified by the commandant of a camp
through the lack of jail space and
also because it was customary pun-
ishment in the German army. The
prisoners are paid from 6 to 24 cents
for their work. With these earnings
they are able to improve their food."

ROADS AND THE MOTORIST.
Penny Wise and Pound Foolish to
Neglect Improved Roads.
By Philip P. Sharples.
Roads and the farmer, until recent-
' ly, was quite a ciifferent problem from
roads and the motorist. Gradually
as the farmer, through the agent of
,popular priced cars, has come to con-
sider an automobile part of the farm
equipment, the two problems have be-
come more and more amalgamated.
The farmer no longer feels that the
city auto owner is trying to put some-
thing over in the good roads move-
ment. Driving an automobile has
convinced hi
that a mud road, impassable yafter
every rain and for two or three months
in the spring, is not the kind of road
on which he wishes his farm situated.
Ten years ago, before the advent of
the automobile in numbers, the type
of road to be built in country districts
would have admitted no question.
Macadam would have been specified.
Macad .in properly built still has its
place. Macadam must be distinguish-
ed from the apologies for stone roads
so often seen. Stone dumped on an
old road, with no proper drainage or
grading, and without the use of a roll-
er, does not resemble a macadam road
any more than a pile of loose bricks
resemble a house. The macadam must
be well built from the bottom up. If
the automobile traffic becomes exces-
sive, the surface can be protected by
surface coatings of bituminous ma-
terials. "'In the bituminous macadam
the bond between the stone is rein-
forced by some form of bitumen, either
asphalt or refined tar.
The bituminous macadam, where a
suitable stone is obtainable, forms a
very attractive road proposition. Its
cost is not greatly in excess of plain
macadam, which has been a standard
for country road work. Automobile
traffic cannot injure it,the surface J
pro-
duced is suitable and comfortable for
horse-drawn traffic, while last, but not
least, the surface is easily maintained
through a term of years at a low an-
nual cost.
Bituminous macadam is built by two
methods—the penetration and the
mixed method. The penetration
method is especially applicable to
country road work-. When refined tar
is used as a binder, the work may be
done for 10c. to 20c. a square yard
less than the mixed method, and the
results, if the work has been well done,
are not inferior for country road traf-
fic.
The building of a penetration ma-
cadam is in itself not a difficult mat-
ter. At the sane time, it brings in
play ai1 the skill and knowledge re-
quired to build a first-class macadam,
and, in. addition, a knowledge of the
properties and methods of handling
the binder. Like other road work, -the
best results can only be obtained when
men of experience and training are
employed in supervising and building
the roads. The manufadturers of
standard binders can be depended up-
on to furnish the special apparatus
and knowledge required to handle the
binder.
The maintenance of roads already
built is as important as building new
ones. The tendency in this country is
to neglect roads already built. This
s the. utmost folly. A good road is a
capital asset to the community. Not
maintaining it up to its original
stardard is to allow the impairment
of the investment. No one ' would
dream of aliowing a building-en,,�which
he held a mortgage to fall to pieces
or lack of repairing the roof or a coat
of paint. A community should not
dream of neglecting its improved
roads. Enough money must be ap-
propriated each year to maintain them
in a condition at least equal to their
state on completion. To do less is
penny wise and pound foolish. The
plain macadam and the bituminous
macadam are both easily kept in order
and even improved in condition by ap-
plication' of cold refined tar. IJiodern
spraying machines, both, horse-drawn
rid motor driven, have been invented,
which reduce the costs to a Minimum.
The process repeated when necessary
preserves the road with little doprreeia-
ion.

THE SITUATION IN GERMANY.
By Chas M. Bice, Denver, Colorado,
Much depends upon theoutcome of
the "great drive” now in progress on
the various war fronts, not only as
concerns the German military force,
but in the political affairs of Ger-
meaty.
It is difficult for any people at war
to cope with politics and the ambi-
tions of the diplomatic. force, and we
find that Germany is now divided in
her foreign policies.
If reports are true that escape the
German censors, there is formed in
that country an alliance between Lib-
erals, Socialists and Catholics for the
first time in history. These are sup-
porting' Chancellor Hallweg in his f
opposition to the submarine naval
policy, formerly pursued by Admiral
von Tirpitz, backed by Conservative-
Agrarian element which demands
that aggressive submarine warfare
to be Germany's only hope to win, Of
course, this policy would annul the
Teuton promise to the United States
and would doubtless embroil the re- 1
public in the European conflict. But
what is that to a nation that can dis-
regard treaties when thestand in
y
the way of what she considers her
military necessities?
As an excuse for this policy of pir-
acy it is urged that Germanys made
the promise to the U. S. to cease
this barbarous form of warfare only
lupon the condition that the U. S.
should exact the recognition of in-
ternational law and ri hts of Great
B
g
ritain on the seas, which it is claim-
ed has not been done.
The leader of the Conservative -
Agrarian element is former Admiral
on Tirpftz who resigned his pori
tion when forced by Hollweg to sub-
mit to the American demand.
The strenuousness of the situation
has forced Hollweg to organize a
publicity campaign in which he is to
go through the principal cities of
Germany personally and explain his
policy. It is claimed that this has
been made necessary especially since
the defeat of the German navy in
the North Sea battle—the truth of
which is just becoming known to the
people.
The Chancellor's' attitude towards
peace and its essentials will be fully
explained to the people in this whirl-
wind speech-maki-ng campaign.
Of course, he expects Germany to
win, or at least he will pretend to
believe it; for any other attitude
would 'menace his office as Chancel-
lor, which is the next highest official
position to that of the Kaiser.
But he is opposed to any notion of
territorial aggrandizement at the
expense of either France, Belgium or
Russia; and the strangest thing
about his policy is that he is desirous
of retaining British friendship after
the war.
He is antagonistic to. any proposal
that would interfere with such
an
understanding with Great Britain, for
he has in view a fraternal combina-
tion or working agreement between
Germany, Britain and the United
States, and this is why he has work-
ed so persistently to avoid a break
with Washington.
We all recognize his position of
Chancellor as one of supreme im-
portance, carrying with it responsi-
bility for imperial acts and policies to
a large extent, and it has-been sur-
mized that possibly the Kaiser him-
self is back of the course he is pur-
suing.
His prerogatives are so far reach-
ing that a change in the Chancellor
at this time would be interpreted by

the German people as a rebuff to the
Kaiser, and might involve radical
changes not only in the foreign office,
but in every department of adminis-
tration of internal affairs, so that
any new incumbent of the office
would mean opposition to the wishes
of the Kaiser himself.
If the allies should continue to
win, as they have since "the drive"
began, the Chancellor may find it
hard to make any impression favor-
able to his policies, upon the German
people, and a crisis is liable to be
precipitated in Germany similar to
that which France witnessed in 1871.

IAMLOOPS AND IRRIGATION.
The Leading Inland City of British
Columbia.
The Western Canada irrigation As-
sociation held .its Tenth Annual Con-
vention at the City of Kamloopsthe
last week in July. The picturesque
little city takes its name • front the
Indian equivalent "Meeting of the
Waters," where the sun shines every
day and good fella•;: ship, . health and
happiness radiate from all, and opens
wide in hospitality its doors to you.
Away back over a hundred years ago
the North West Fur Trading Co.,
with keen' appreciation of the advant-
ages of the location, established a
post on the present site of Kamloops
--the junction of the now called
North and South Thompson Rivers.
Its excellent water communications;
its central position in a wide open
stretch of splendid grazing country
and its healthy, growing climate, at-
tracted Indians and traders from all
parts, and soon the little trading -
post grew in importance and popula-
tion. Seventy-five years afterwards
the Canadian Pacific Railway thrust
its steel rails through the main street
of the aspiring little community, and
it was but an endorsement of the
opinion of the old trading company,
that Kamloops was indeed, "The
Place in the Sun."
There are irrefutable reasons why
Kamloops claims the distinction of
being the leading inland city of the
Province of British Columbia. Its
geographical position marks it as
serving a very large area; 250 miles
from Vancouver, 390 miles from Cal-
gary and 540 from Edmonton, it sees ,
no possible rival. With a population
of some 5,000, it points with pardon -

PERILOUS NAPS.
Some Men Take Their Snooze in Dan-
gerous Places.
A short time ago a man was dis-
covered in his lunch-hour fast asleep
on a plank. His arms were hanging
down, one 'on each side of the board,
which was about a foot wide. He was
snoring gloriously, and quite care-
less, whether awake or asleep, that
if he turned over for greater comfort
he would` "tumble out of bed" one
hundred and twenty feet, for that
plank was part of the scaffolding
erected for the repair of a church
spire!
A similar disregard for danger was
reported lately during the erection of
some electrical works. One of the
men engaged on the tall chimney,
missing his mate at the lunch-hour,
went up the half -finished chimney to
find him. He discovered him fast
asleep on a narrow.ledge of brick in-
side the shaft, a fall from which
meant a drop of eighty feet.
The other week a circus arrived in
a certain town, not a hundred miles
from London, at an early hour after
