LadyScott,widow wld w of Captain Scott, the British naval officer who lost his life while returning from the south pole, is . now one of the thousands of British women who are working in the munitions factories of England to keep the armies at the front supplied with ammunition and other war ne. cessities. The story, issued by the Official Press Bureau in London, con. tains the following: "I confess the change to such un- familiar conditions made an =adven• ture• of which, contrary to my expect- ations, the zest did not wane. Partly, I suppose, because I made friends; they came and stayed with me, I stay- ed with them; they were new' to me as I to them; but we liked each other. There was a jolliness about it all arriving at daylight into a warm room among friendly faces and in the even- ing hurrying each other up to get ready so that friends could walk home in company. "In short, there was real comrade- ship, and the personal lives of my friends became of great importance to me. fEeyond all this there was ab- solute 4- ..edom from that unrest which is a characteristic disease of ' this time. The munitions worker, like the man in the ranks, is under orders, do- ing her piece of assigned work. There is no time to be anxious, to fret for news, to feel the days drag heavily. One gets 1bne, eats, sleeps like a tired animal, and awakes fresh, ready to go on again. Looking back on it, I would not for anything be without the experience, and I honestly believe that no one who volunteers will regret the choice.

Made in Canada THE DEATH OF FRANCIS JOSEPH By Chas M. Bice, Denver, Colo. The once great house of the Haps- burgs has lost,.,its most distinguished representative in the recent death of Francis Joseph, the aged ruler of Austria This distinguished race • of kings takes their name from a famous an- cient house in Switzerland, but is not the name of the occupants. The place women con- of origin in this case, having super - cleaners em- seded the residents, the name has Corporation clung to the descendants through all subsequent history. The aged monarch, whose funera rites at Vienna will soon be observe in a manner befitting a king, ascend ed his throne in the midst of revolu tion, and it' is only fitting that he descend from it as he has, while the nation is wrapped in gloom of treach- erous war, that forbodes national dis- aster to his confiding subjects. His kingdom is yet in the balance, and no matter who wins, his domin- ions are almost certain to be dismem- bered. The dual monarchy is doom- ed, however the struggle may end. Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria, and a sort of apostolic King of Hun- gary, reigned but did not govern dur- ing the latter period of his life. He supinely placed himself in sub- jection to the will of another and much greater sovereign—the g Kais r. Kaiser. The spectacle presented of the life of the titular head of the dual mon- archy would have been a fit subject for the world's greatest dramatist himself, and were he now living, we would be presented with another Richard or a Henry to take the place of the ephemeris twaddle written by so-called court historians. His was a life in full consonance with Hapsburg traditions full of tragedy, bloodshed and revolt. Upon high authority the Emperor of Austria-Hungary was the recogniz- ed libertine of Europe, and if his un- varnished story were written out, it would scarcely be a fit subject for school study. But then, you know, we are Puri- tanicel on such subjects, and have much to learn of:the ways of contin- ental Europe. One thing is certain,"that in. Aus- tria, Francis Joseph was accepted with all' his grossness and grievous lapses, as a kind of god. Whatever the world may say of his amours, he was a brave soldier and. the idolized emperor of his people, and that settles it so far as they are concerned. It is questionable whether shall blame him for this great world- wide horror, through which w e "Earning money, too, will be' for many an adventure and not an un- pleasant one. Men have told me thtit they never valued anything more than' their shillings drawn at the pay table. Women have the advantage of the soldiers,t because what the munition worker earns' is very appreciable. You go for six weeks to one of the schools established by the Ministry of Munitions and then you can go into a factory and start at $5 a week—earn- ed by making what your country ur- gently requires, and you feel,good about it. "But, above all, you will escape the moments which come to any. self-re- specting girl or woman when she asks herself whether it is right or fair or decent that she should be having a good time while her menfolk are fac- ing and suffering what we hear of — and much, too, that we do not, It is no small moral comfort in these days to feel yourself clear of the disgrace of leisure." ----ea-egg-- Her Own Idea, A' certain little girl . was discovered. by her mother engaged in a spirited encounter with a small friend who had got considerably worsted in the en- gagement. "Don't yeti know, dear," said thele other, "that it is very wicked to behave so? It was. Satan that put it into your head to pull Elsie's hair." "Well, perhaps it was," the ehild admitted, "but kicking her shins was entirely my own idea." 1 d history orld- e are j `il�u\ • y Childish Craving —for something sweet Ands pleasant realization in the pure, wholesome, wheat arid barley food 0 rape= N'ut.

",puseing, as he was mere the creature of destiny, the Clay in the hands of the potter, than, the initiator or in- stigator of this great misery. ! The Sarajevo tragedy, when • ,the' Crown Prince lost his life,. and one among many in his long reign, was the excuse ostensibly for the War, but it wasthe not cause of it, foie that had been long brewing, The double asses- sination of his nephew and his con- sort, was unquestionably political, but without t thk s the outbreak could not have been suppressed much longer. In fact the emperor was not much in love with the prince, The heir - presumptive was thoroughly "Pres- sianized," which was the true reason ,of his tragic end. But with the emperor, it was mere- ly a choice of Germany or having his. empire pass from him, The Slav peril,. so-called, was not cit ateti- by him, yet he did little to arrest the slow-moving iceberg of Russian dominion, and hence his empire was unstable at best. Unfortunately it was made up of elements that were never destined to properly fuse. It is inconceivable that his death will have any material effect upon the great struggle, for new elements are sure to ar"i"se and surround the throne, but his going at this time may be used by Hungary to break her chains against which she has so long chafed. THANKFUL MOTHERS Thousands of thankful mothers throughout Canada—many of them your own neighbors—'speak with the !greatest praise of that splendid meds cine, Baby's Own Tablets. Many mothers would have no other medicine for their little ones. Among these is Mrs. Albert Nie, St. Brieux, Sask., who says: I have been using Baby's Own Tablets for the past seven years and they have done my four children a world of good. I would not be with- out them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams 1Vledicine Co., Brockville, Ont. THE "ANNOTATED GUIDE." An Interesting Volume Issued by the C.P.R.. No publication issued by the Can- adian Pacific Railway is better known all over the world than the "An- notated Guide," describing every sta- tion along the line. Issued originally at the suggestion of -Sir William Van Horne, it has passed through many editions is now t afair-sized book owing to the great increase in the ex- tent of the railway system. It is in- teresting to look over the early issues to see how Canada has progressed. In 1888, for instance, Winnipeg had a population of only .25,000, Fort Wil- liam 1,400, Regina 800, Calgary 2,- 400, Lake Louise had not been discov- ered, and Vancouver was proud of its 5,200. Indian Head was famous for the Bell Farm, of which the "Annot- ated Guide" remarks: "The furrows on thisfarm are usually ploughed four miles long, and to plough' one furrow outward and another returning is a half day's work for a man and team. The work is done with an almost mili- tary organization, ploughing by bri- gades and reaping by divisions." To- ronto is described as "distinctly 'Vest - ern in its actj rity and energy." TOOK TOOLS FROM HUNS. Then Machine -Gunned Workiug Parties Out of Existence. A wounded machine -gunner, now in hospital in England, tells a remark- able story of how a party of British Tommies recently adopted a clever ruse which made Fritz look foolish. It is a characteristic incident of Brit- ish methods an the western front, says the London News. Our men learned that it was the in- tention'oe the Huns to place more bar- bed wire in front of their lines that night. So about 15 left the British trench and formed links of a human chain reaching to the German lines, which were only about a hundred yards away. The enemy, who na- turally wished to carry out their plans unobserved, were sending up no star lights, so that the Tommies, with a subaltern in charge of them, were able to crawl into position quite un- noticed. They had scarcely completed the formation of their chain before the Germans began to throw out of their trench on to the ground in front the various tools and materials they would require. First of all a number of iron stakes were pitched out. The first man in the British chain grabbed them, passed them back to the man oleehind him, 'who in turn handed them on until they were safely landed in the British trenches. Everything put out by the unsuspecting Huns was dis- posed of p in the same way. When the leading man in the chain concluded there was nothing more to come he stealthily' crept back with his com- rades, . By the time they had reached their trench the German working party was in the open and the men were busily employed searching for the missing wire and tools. Suddeii y a rocket hissed up from the ll'ritish lines and, revealed by its pitiless light, the en- tire party was practically wiped out by a stream of lead from a machine grin. Later during the same night a second German party attempted to get to work, with equally disastrous results, , At dawn Ittitioe board appeared over the British trench bearing in German, the weeds; "If you want ED* 7 FOR THOSE l,11 --rte Tt is always safer to apply Pelin fra o Bark Carbolated Petroliuttt J,ity A mild antiseptic.

Not unnatutalky, people are inclined to think that the soaring food prices are not altogether to be explained by th.e normal influence of war.
