Bronchitis starts with a short, painful, dry .cough, accompanied with a rapid wheel We; and a feeling of oppression or tightacss through the chest. At first the See)ectoratiocx is a light color but as the trouble progresses the phlegm arising from the bronchial tubes becomes of a yellowish or greenish color, and is very ofteeTof a stringy nature. 13ronchitis should never be neglected. If teseivraeoine serious lung trouble will undoubtedly follow. Cot rid of it by using Dr. Wood's Norway Piue Syrup. This well-known remedy has been on the market for the past 25 years. It cures where others fail. Mrs. Geo. Lofton, Uxbridge, Ont, writes:. "I have•had bronchitis so bad I could not lie down at night; and had to cough every few minutes to get my breath, I had a doctor out to see me, but his medicine seemed to do me no good, I sent to the druggist for some good cough mixture, and got Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, One bottle helped me wonderfully. I stopped coughing, and could lie down, and rest well at night. I cannot praise it too much." Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is put up in a yellow wrapper; 3 pine trees the trade mark; , price 25c. and 50c. Manufactured only by The T. Mxs,- 4,\nura4toCo„ Lauren, Toronto, Ont. "FRENCH DASH IN CHARGE. t Attributed to Fact That Men Leave Impedimenta Behind. French elan in attack is, of course, an old theme, but never has the dash of French soldiers been more con- spicuously illustrated than in this war. The speed and brilliancy of the rush with which they captured Bou- chavesnes and four miles of German trenches between Combles and Pe- ronne on September 12 emphasized this characteristic, which has been noted admiringly by their British al- lies and compared with the slower methods of the latter. An Englishman back from the front in London suggests an interesting ex- planation. It is that the French in- fantry charge without impedimenta, leaving kit and supplies to be brought up later. There is, of course, the risk of being cut off and compelled to sur- render from lack of food. There is, owever, the great advantage„ of rap- dity of movement. The British soldier, on the other hand, attacks carrying his full pack of about sixty pounds and crosses No Man's Land Ott a very steady pace in a special formation designed to keep fee'gualties to a minimum. The men, once in firm possession of the objec- tive, are more independent of sup- port. It seems to be entirely a matter of method deliberately adopted in each case and perhaps also in each case based upon experience of what best suits the temperament of the men of the respective races. Why She Wept. The verdict of the court had been "Three years' penal servitude," and the prisoner was taken away. In her poor little home that night his wife sat alone sobbing so bitterly that at last a kindly neighbor ventured to go in. Knowing that the erring roan had not only beaten his wife, but sponged ^--!'isiderably on her small earnings as a charwoman, the neighbor was at a loss to understand the tears. "Don't take on so," she pleaded, gently strok- ing the weeper's tousled hair. "Three years seems a long time, but probably your husband will come back before then. Prisoners can reduce their sentences, you know, by good lie- havior." Pausing a moment to swal- low her sobs the weeping wife replied: "That's just it. An' my 'usband can be a perfect hangel when he likes." The world may owe you a living, but it's a mistaken notion to look on it aelif a free soup kitchen on that account. DOM NOT SWEEP BACK VMS SO SHE Women are coming to understand that weak, lame and aching backs from which. th ersuffer so much excruciating pain and agony are due to wrong action of the kidneys. On the first sign of any weakness in the back Doan's Kidney Pills should be taken. Mrs. L.

A perfectly wholesome sausage is made by chopping fine one-third fat and two - I thirds lean pork. Season highly with black pepper, red pepper, fine table salt, a little finely chopped thyme and 1 summer savory. If desired, a little brown sugar can be added to prevent the sausage meat from becoming too Istrong. Mix all together. One rule for seasoning is one tablespoon- ful of salt, one-half teaspoonnful of pepper, one teaspoonful of other sea- soning to each pound. Make cotton bags about ono yard long and four inches wide, and d'p in a strong salt -water solution to harden. Allow the bags to dry, and then fill with sausage meat, pressing it in tightly with a potato mashor. The bag should be tied very tighbly and then stored in a coat place. When- ever desired the bag can be pulled back and slices of the sausage meat cut off and fried or cooked as pre- ferred. This particular sausage is delicious if served fried with fried ap- pies,. ex is placed in the oe, n to cook there will be, no odor through the house. Rice Loaf. -Butter a bread pan and. line with rice, steamed and still warm, • about an inch thick. Fill the center with cold boiled salmon moistened with 1 egg sauce (parsley may also be ad - ed). Cover with rice, set in pan of hot water, e4. •er with buttered paper ;and bake one hour. Turn on a hot ' platter, pour an egg sauce around it and garnish with hard-boiled eggs. Corn Muffins. -One cup flour, one- ( half cup cornmeal, three teaspoons ;baking powder, one tablespoon sugar, ' one-half teaspoon salt, one egg, one cup" nilk, one tablespoon butter. Mix and sift the dry ingredients together. Beat the egg and add the milk to it, then add this to the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter last, then beat well and turn into well -greased tins. Bake in moderate oven about thirty minutes. An "Unexpected Company" Dish. - Break into small pieces sufficient mac- aroni or spaghetti to serve your guests and boil until tender in salt water. When done, turn out on a deep platter and make as many hollows or nests as there are persons to be served. Into each of these break an egg. Dot all over with generous bits of butter, sea- son and place in the oven until the eggs have set, which should take only a few minutes. Garnish with parsley. A little grated cheese sprinkled over the dish before baking adds to the flavor. Sage Tea. -Two ounces of garden sage, two ounces of green tea, two ounces of eau de cologne. Steep the sage and the tea separately, each in eight ounces ofe water. Allow the liquids to simmer on the stove for sev- eral hours until they are reduced to two-thirds of the quantity. Strain and combine the liquids, and when cooled apply to the hair. More than one application will be•required to se- cure the best results. Use a small brush and distribute the dye evenly over the hair. Almond' Cake. -One -cupful butter, two cupfuls sugar, four eggs, one-half cupful almonds, blanched by pouring water on them until skins easily slip off, and cut in fine shreds; one-half teaspoonful extract bitter almonds, one pint flour e- la tea- spoonfuls baking powder, one glass brandy, one-half cupful milk. Rub butter and sugar to a smooth white cream, add eggs one at a time, beat- ing three or four minutes between each. Sift flour and powder togeth- er, add to the butter, etc., with almonds, extract of bitter almonds, brandy and milk; mix into a smooth batter, and bake carefully in a rather• hot oven for twenty minutes. Shoo -Fly Cake. -Have two bowis ready for the mixtures. First, line a deep piepan with nice, flaky pie crust; then into the first bowl put two cups of flour and one-half cup of sug- ar, and work into this with the fingers a good half clip of any preferred. shortening. I generally use half lard and half butter. Mix well and set aside. Into the second bowl put one- half cup molasses and one-half cup boiling water; mix one-half teaspoon- ful baking soda with a little vinegar, to dissolve it, add to the mixture and stir until it ceases to bubble. Pour this into bhe pie crust, and then gently drop the other mixture into it. Bake in a moderate oven. It will taste as good as it looks. First the crisp under crust, then the dark cake and on top the nice, mellow crumbs of flour and sugar. The directions sound long, but bhey are very simple, and the whole thing can be prepared quickly. Sausage Suggestions. As a wholesome addition to the win- ter diet there is much to be said in favor of sausage. There are several precautions to observe, however. One is that sausage is preserved meat, and should not be fed to children, as they cannot digest it properly. Sausage casings should never be eaten. It is absolutely necessary to pare carefully all the casings from all sausages - frankfurters, salami, bologna, etc. The casings are simply cleaned intes- tines, have absolutely no food value, and are highly indigestible. Also it is best to broil or cook sausages be- fore using. Never use them raw.. 'Sausages combine excellently with scans, rice, eggs, etc. Egg sausage s a popular foreign breakfast, and is made as follows: Six eggs, two sausages'; sliced; one tablespoon of butter, four bablespoon- fuls of milk, salt, pepper. The sau- sages should be sliced, heated and drained of fat. Beat the eggs thor- oughly, add butter and eggs to the sausages and the milk. Cook until thick and smooth. While hot turn them on a platter -and garnish with parsley. This is a very' substantial and palatable dish for a cold morning, Sausages are baked by placing in a dripping tin in a single layer and leaving in a moderate oven for about one and one-half hours, As soon its they 'are brown on one side they can be turned over. When brown on both sides drain and serve hot. A quick way of preparing sau- sages is to dip thein in beaten egg With Oysters. Oysters in Blanket. -Drain off as many oysters as you need, salt and pepper them. Have thinly sliced bacon large enough to cover an oyster, and fasten bhe pieces of bacon with toothpicks. When they are all ready, fry in a small amount of butter. Gar- nish the dish with lemon and parsley. Season with a chili sauce. Broiled Oysters. -Drain the oysters, heat the liquor over the fire. Boil and skim it. For every twenty oysters allow one tablespoonful of bubter, put in the saucepan and brown. Add a tablespoonful of browned flour, then add one-half pint of the oyster liquid. Stir the mixture until boiling; add salt to taste, and a teaspoonful of paprika. turn all this into a double boiler and add a teaspoonful of seasoning. Heat an ordinary pancake griddle' very hob, and brush it lightly with butter. Lay ' on a few oysters at a time, as soon as they are brown and curl, put them in the oyster sauce in double boiler and continue so until all the oysters are broiled. The griddle must be very hot 'or the juice of the oysbers will I prevent browning. Oyster Pie. -Make a rjch puff paste; roll out twice as thick as for a fruit pie for top crust, ordinary thickness for, the lower. Line a pudding dish with the thinner and fill with crusts of dry' bread or light crackers. Butter edges of dish lavishly that you may lift up- per crust without breaking. Cover. this with thick crust, ornamented heavily at edge, and bake. Cook the oysters as for a stew, only beating in-" to them at bhe last two eggs and the' thickening with one spoonful of fine cracker crumbs or rice flour. They; should stew only five minutes, and; time them so that the paste will be' ready to receive them. Lift top crust, pour in smoking hot oysters and serve hot, Household Hints. It is better to boil cabbage in two waters. A very sweet dessert is not ap- propriate with fish. White oilcloth is good covering for cupboard shelves. A long -handled dustpan is a great prize for a housekeeper. Excellent pantry cloths for glass- ware and china are made from cheese- cloth hemmed. Simple milk puddings should not be put in a very hob oven, for the milk will curdle. Browned breadcrumbs can be used as a breakfast food, and are really palatable. A table of weights and measures, typewritten and famed under glass, should be hung in every kitchen. The systematic brushing of the hair every night will do much toward keep- ing the scalp and hair clean. Do not wait until afternoon to plan the evening dinner. Haste makes wasteful marketing and poor meals. Wash colored silks in cold water and a moderate amount of soap. Do not rub the soap directly on the fabric. A good dessert is made with bana- nas put through the potato ricer and sliced orange and pineapple added. When making tomato or asparagus soup a few grains of baking soda should be added to the cooked vege- babies. Test nutmegs by pricking them with a pin. If they are good, oil will in- stantly spread around the puncture. Even left -over cornbread can be made with eggs and milk and flavor- ing into a delicious and nutritious pudding. When rolling cracker crumbs time will be saved by rolling them on a piece of brown paper. They can be easily lifted and poured into a jar and the table will not be covered with crumbs. Stains can often be removed from clothing with ease and no rubbing if the staine are rinsed out in want water, then well rubbed with a good soap and allowed to soak in boiling water for an hour. f erttablo [sold 14ime to Some. Among the highest-paid women workers to -day are foreign corre- spondents in big banks. These duties call for a knowledge of several lan- guages and the possession of an apt mathematical brain, says London An- svvers. There is one woman foreign corre- spondent in a London bank whose business it is to keep in touch with the foreign exchanges, and who is in receipt of a salary of $35 a week - very good money when one considers that $10 a week has generally been regarded as a handsome wage to pay a woman engaged in clerical duties. Perhaps the highest amount of all earned by any woman during the pre- sent war is $6,600 a year received by the managing director of a big cigar ette firm formerly in German hands. Her ability to carry on the business has prevented it from being wound up and throwing a large number of peo- ple out of employment. She earns so much because of her remarkable spe- cialized knowledge of the trade. Mothering the Workers. , The very able women who act as supervisors of war work at big muni- tion factories, and whose duties are to regulate the work of the women munition -workers and see that their output is maintained, are paid as much as $25 a week, and on all sides it is agreed that they well earn their money, for no foreman could hope to obtain. such successful results. While being sympathetic and en- couraging their attitude towards the women under them, these supervisors are firm enough in their manner to obtain perfect discipline, and, gener- ally speaking, are well liked by the women they control Women welfare -workers are com- manding salaries of from $1,000 to $1,250 a year. Their work is regard- ed as increasingly important, for their , duties have to do with the health and the food conditions of thousands of women munition -workers. Their em- ployment has given such good results that in almost every munition factory of size they are being introduced. Woman as Organizer. Here, again, special qualifications are demanded, of which tact is not the least. As a rule, the women who have been appointed to these positions are those of long experience in social work, with particular training in hygiene. Women chemists are being employ- ed in increasing numbers, their re- muneration varying according to abil- ity. There are many cases of $20 a week being earned. Women doctors are also in great prominence because of the shortage of doctors, and their earnings are exceedingly high -at least $2,500 a year. The Bank of England, which bas sent such a large proportion of its male staff to the war, has provided a' considerable number of competent clerical female hand situations.

Capable and trustworthy women chauffeurs are earning from $10 to $12.50 a week, and quite as much is being earned by women in country towns driving; motor cars for public hire. One or two well-educated women who understand dogs are making a handsome living by looking after the lap -dogs and spoilt pets of wealthy ladies. They attend to the toilet of the dogs each day, and those dog "nurses" who have been well recom- mended have as many as twenty houses a day to call upon. Exceptional Cases. The war has created a demand for women tutors at $500 a year and wo- men librarians at $600 a year; in fact, hundreds of well-educated wo-1 men, who before the war never thought of engaging themselves in in- dustrial pursuits, are now in receipt of $10 a week, with every chance of still further improving on this re- muneration. Unfortunately, the women who are earning from $10 to $25 a week only represent a small element in the vast army of women war workers. For the rank and file $6,25 to $8.75 is still considered a fair wage to pay, the em- ployers forgetting that what might have been a satisfactory wage in peace -time is scarcely adequate when the cost of living has gone up at least 40 per cent. The , women who are earning the handsome amounts men- tioned must therefore consider. them- selves particularly favored, and it is not to be supposed that they form more than 5 per cent. of the whole huge community of women war workers.

Food Varies According to Their Nationalities. The principal meal of the Russian soldier consists of stchee, something between a gruel and a soup, the chief ingredients of which are cabbage, po- tatoes, oatmeal and. fat meat -prefer- ably pork. These are boiled together, with salt and other seasoning, the re- sult being a thick, nourishing and by no means unpalatable dish. The Italian soldiers, who are splen- did marchers, live largely on a farin- aceous diet -macaroni, spaghetti, and so on. They are also very partial to fruit, which is issued, together with wine and cigars, as part of their ra- Getting Winter Eggs. One of the first things to do to secure a profit from the farm flock during the winter is to cull out the flock and dispose of every bird that does not show a promise of returning a profit. Old hens, superfluous males and pullets that do not show good healthy development had better be sold for what they will bring. Every o bird that does not appear healthy and thrifty should be placed in a house by themselves and given a chance to be- come marketable. In this way the size of the flock -can be reduced and only the hens that are capable of pay- ing for their feed and care kept through the winter. The flock must be fed liberally dur- ing the winter. Nothing is to be gained by feeding starvation rations. This much is certain. It is better to sell Pelf of the flock and give the feed to the hens that are kept. With feeds of all kinds at present prices it re- quires strict economy and careful management to secure results during the winter months. Wheat, corn and oats make an ideal grain ration for laying hen.. It forms a palatable feed furnishes variety and is fairly well balanced for egg pro- duction. With boiled vegetables and meat scraps ane: cut clover adeed it makes a balanced feed. The grain feeds can be improved by gri.idirg • and feeding in the form of a clash a part of the time. The change i$ benefical and increases egg production. Meat scraps are an excellent source of protein. Green cut bone is preferred by many poultry feeders, but it is out of the question for many poultrymen on account of the labor re- quired in its preparation. If one is situated nearby to a large market and can buy bone and meat ab a low cost and has plenty of time to prepare it, he can secure an excellent feed at a moderate cost. However, I believe that the average farmer will find meat scraps at three dollars a hund- red fully as cheap and economical a feed. Hens must have bulky and succulent feed to take the place of green grass that they get during the summer. Alfalfa and clover 'cut and cured early, are the best substitutes. If the hay is run through a cutting box and cut fine and steadied for an hour and a half the hens wiIl consume nearly all of it. It is rich in protein and a good egg producing focal. If the flock has a dry and comfortable house, that is free from vermin, they should furnish an abundant supply of winter eggs. For winter layers I like to have about one half pullets and one half yearling hens. In this way I believe we secure a more uniform number of eggs during the fall, winter and spring. Some may not agree with me in this respect, but I have always secured more eggs from a flock pro- portioned about half and half pullets and yearling hens than from a flock of pullets, that is, considering the egg yield for the whole winter and spring. Then again unless a man has an in- cubator and brooder the yearling hens make more satisfactory sitters and mothers than the pullets, and I find this an important item to consider in the handling of the farm flock. tions whenever possible. co Diva its rtn No German soldier considers his a hearing. daily menu complete without a sau- 23.
