LIEUT.-COL. E. F. HARRISON
Who Defeated German Poison Gas and
Saved Many Lives.
The British Army and, indeed, the
'whole Army of the Allies has suffered
a severe loss in the sudden death from
pneumonia of Lieut. -Col. B. F. Harri-
son, C,M.G., R.E., Officer of the Legion
of Honor. Colonel Harrison's name
is associated with the protection of
the British and Allied groops against
gas. -Since the early days of gas war-
dare he had occupied a leading posi-
tion in the Chemical Warfare Depart-
,.
rient •of Ministry of Munitions,,end
for over a year he had been in
charge of research in connection with
gas defence and of the manufacture of
respirators for the armies in the field.
It is due mainly to his brilliant efforts
that throughout this war our troops
'have been so well protected, and that
no new gas has ever been employed
against us for which his foresight had
not provided an antidote. 'Be has been
responsible for the manufacture of
millions of respirators that have been
issued to British, American anti Italian
troops, and he built up this enormous
industry almost entirely from impro-
vised means. In the middle of all this
work he lost' his eldest son, who was
'killed in action at the Battle of the
Somme on the 30th of July, 1916.
COLORS FOR SAILORS
Navy Blue Has for Centuries Been
Worn by Sea -Goers.
The blue color so prominent in the
uniforms of almost all marines is of
hoary origin. Vegetins, it his fifth
book on the military affairs of the
Romans, traces the origia of this
color to the Veneti, an amxient people
dwelling near the coast of ' Biscay,
and well versed in seamanship. It
was cusomary among. them to paint
their outgoing ships as well as the
masts -and sails with a blue color; also
their soldiers and sailors wore blue
uniforms. According to our author,
the Latin word "Venitus" which was
both the name of the color and that
of the people, points to its origin.
From the Veneti the custom was adop-
ted by the Romans. Thus the son of
Pompeius, after defeating Caesar's
fleet in a naval battle, wore the navy
blue, although entitled to the purple.
The Veneti 'were subdued by Caesar
after a severe maritime war in 56 B.

Pain in the back is one of the first signs

condition they, should bo and it should
be gotten rid of immediately, if neglected,

There is a way to "shake off" for ever
the constant pain of backache, the annoy-
ance of urinary troubles and all dangers
of kidney ills. Go to your druggist or
'dealer; get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills;
take a few doses and see how quickly
your backache will disappear.

the co-operative growers' associa-
tions, "especially when it goes

Canadian grain growers have been
doing big things through co=opera-

Waiters' co-operative enterprise:
the Grain Growers' Company, of
Manitoba, and the Alberta Farmers'
Co-operative Elevator Company join-
ed hands after it was foreseen that
they could do team work profitably,
and formed the most powerful grain
exchange, entirely in the hands of the
farmers.
The company, now known as the
'United Grain Growers' Ltd., has more
than thirty-five thousand sharehold-
ers, assets of $6,000,000, and a turn-
over last year of $100,000,000. It

of grain shipped by the grower. The
Exchange objected, advising that it
was against their rules, and took the
seat in the house away, from the
farmers. This 'would have left the
company without revenue, and would
seem to bring about early ruin, as
they depended upon their commission
for their life.
The grain growers knew that they
were face to face with a crisis. 'The
Exchange was the only market for
grain, and while ' the co-operative
manager sought an eastern market,
buyers plainly advised him that he

Did any farmers ever face more direct
influence or more powerful influences

The grain growers' manager return-

appeal was made direct to the Mani-
toba 'Provincial Government, asking
it to compel the Grain Exchange to
reinstate the company's member. The
influence of thousands of • prosperous
grain growers was sufficient. The
legislature took the farmers' side and

Poultry keepers, who find the

marketing end of the business. They
know that in producing uniform pro -

the well-bred flock has the advantage.
The egg trade will pay for what it
wants, and that is Invariably eggs of
the same shape, size and color, and
dressed poultry of a uniform color of
skin and shanks. It is almost a hope-
less proceeding for one to undertake
to furnish high-class customers
with eggs and dressed poultry unless
one has a knowledge of theeprinciples
of breeding and feeding to stand-
ardize the products of the farm flock.

LIVER COMPLAINTp
MIS SPELLS.
When your liver becomes sluggish and'
inactive, the bowels become constipated,
the tongue becomes coated, the breath
bad, the stomach foul and sick, and biliouts
spells occur on account of the hoer holding
back the bile which is so essential to
promote the movement of the bowelss
and the bile gets into the blood, instead -
of
of passing through the usual channel.
The only proper way to keep the liver
active and working properly is to keep
the bowels regular by using Milburn a
Lars -Liver Pills. They work smoothly
and gently, and do not gripe, weaken and
sicken as so many laxative pills do.
' Mr. James P. Colter, Ilartford, 1\7.S,,
writes—"I have used Milburn's Laxa-
Liver Pills for constipation and liver com-
plaint. At one time I used to have a
bilious spell every little while and once
was in bed for four months. Since taking
your pills, the bilious spells have left me,
I have recommended I,axa-Liver Pills to
many others here, and they are growing
in favor every day."
