FRENCH STONE FOR , CANADA MEMORIAL T Contain Name of Every Sol _er in Dominion Army. 3' Atiespatch from Ottawa says: - Mr. John Pearson, architect of the new Parliament Buildings, is prepar- `":ng to go overseas shortly after the commencement of the Parliamentary sessioit .0 secure stone for the in- teriorthe Memorial Chamber, in which a rc to be placed a- volume con- taining the. names of every soldier who be?tinged to the Canadian army during the great war. This stone is to be donated by France. • While overseas Mr. Pearson will also negotiate for the securing of a carillon or chime of bells for the big central tower, of which the base has now been completed. In spite of strikes among interior decorators work has greatly advanced in 'both chambers and the buildings will have a vastly improved aspect at the end of January, when Parliament assembles. • scale Sufferer e From Her Kidneys. When the kidneys get out of order the 'back is sure to become affected, and dull pains, sharp pans quick twinges all point to the fait thattthe kidneys need attention. L. PIasters and liniments may relieve yr for a short time, but to get rid of these pains you must get right at the seat of the trouble. You can do this by using Doan's Kidney Pills and thus obtain permanent relief. Mrs. John Stephenson, 115 Stephen St., Kingston, Ont., writes: --"I certainly must praise your Down's Kidney Pills. I was a terrible sufferer from my kidneys. I would have severe pains in my back and awful headaches. I became very weak and just felt as if T were being draggged down.; aI tried one box of Doan's Kidne Pills, and to my surprise I felt better. I could work hard all day, and my back would not pain me at all. I can't praise them too much." Doan's Kidney Pills are 50e. per box at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by.� Ont. T.

A despatch from Winnipeg says: - There is a quite old-time touch to a story just given out by the Manitoba Provincial Poli es. Louis Houle, an Indian of the Ebb and Flow Reserve, was arrested last October and sent to the Dauphin, jail for .a series of thefts. He was to stay 18 months, but on the sec- ond of November he escaped and went back to the reserve. The Provincial Police went after him, but the Indians put up aforcible resistance and they returned without the prisoner. The Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice were appealed to, and a d:etach- ment'went off to the reserve. They succeeded in bringing Houle back, but so far have not told how they se- cured him. Meantime the Provincial Police are taking steps to identify and punish .the Indians who took part in the obstruction of the officers of the law. UNITED STATES TO PAY $4,500,000 To the British -Government for Costs of North Sea Mine Barrage. • A despatch from London says: - The United States Navy Department finally has agreed to pay the -British Government £900,000, or $4,500,000 at the pre-war rate 'of exchange, for the civilian labor, material, 'transporta- tion and port and shore station facili- ties supplied in connection with lay- ing and taking up the great North Sea mine barrage. The British originally claimed £1,250,000, including charges for en- listedlabor loaned to the United States 'Governments regarding the amount the latter should pay for the British "blockade" purchases of Swed- ish `iron and molybdenum, the latter being a metallic mineral element used for hardening steel for tools,. The British Government bought this 'to prevent Germany from doing so, and when America entered the war it was formally agreed that she should pay part of the cost. For this purpose President Wilson set aside $6,000,000. Although Great Britain made a hand- some profit on the iron ore deal, she lost about an equal amount on the molybdenum transaction.

FINE EXHIBIT OF SILVER FOXES 360 Specimens at Internation- al Exhibition at Montreal. A despatch from Montreal says: - People from all parts of Canada and the United States, including Govern- ment officials, biological experts, stu- dents ofanimal n mal life and leaders in the fur trade, are here attending the International Silver Fox Exhibition, which opened at the Motordrome on Thursday. Even Japan, where' the fox -breeding industry has received an impetus through importation .of 'live animals from Prince •Edward Island, r e• event ed pr ,. , ' Dr. S. i12a$sirinura professor of entomology at the Im- perial University, Sapporo, being here on behalf of the Government of that country. The exhibition is being held under the auspices of the Wild Life Bxtitch of the Conservation Commission, Mr. F. C. Nunniek, an official' of that- de- partment, being manager. The ma- jority of the entries are from Prince Edward Island, the home of the in- dustry, where since 1870, the year .of its inception, it has, grown steadily until to-dayft is recognized as a staple national resource, and one productive of much -wealth. New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario are also repre- sented, while there are entries, too, from Michigan, Maine and other United States points. A total of 360 silver foxes are on exhibition, representing all strains, a number far greater than was antici- pated when the event was first pro- jected. Iri individual cages, four feet square, and made of specially -welded wire, the beauty of the valuable fur - bearers is shown off to the best ad- vantage..The cages are open on a side, thus permitting a full play of light. Angels of This World. • It is not necessary to go fro' this. world to that which is "a wonder still" in order to meet with angels. You and I have met men and wo- men who lived so near to the "light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world" that it has been hard for us to imagine any better, nobler beings beyond the veil. 'How many of us have said, "My mother was the best woman I ever knew!" or "I never met a man so wise and just and kind as my father was" s Ile has indeed been unfortunate f who could not say such things as these of those who gave hint' his start in, life. We take the direction' and 'the complexion of our lives from those who surround our infancy. If we are abandoned at the beginning to this.e'. whose thoughts ;are impure, whose aims are low,' whose interests aro selfish, we can hardly survive and rise above such an initiation into life. In the old story -books' the fairies surrounded n z ound'ed the cradle dle of good child aR and conferred all manner of bless- ings. The bad old witch. -nnale olent; maleficent -must at all costs be kept away. Nowadays,,th:e parents who are thoughtful and devout are anx- ',ious that their children shall from the very first be molded by right in- fluences. Fen: it is' 'tlge'" earliest, the impressionable years that matter most. Hence it is that we invoke the aid of the angels of this,. world. Often the desirable sweet influence is that p of a maiden aunt. Her -praises have been said and sung with eloquence- t but usually when she has passed away. We know and We admit too late how good and gentle and gener- a obs she was. We are sorry now that p we rebelled against her 'mild-sWay c c The World Aloft e Leading Markets. Tho flight of the Biit,°sh daril;ibl't - 4 from En to 'Long I and back in a week's travelling tine; r• �.nl the German C er 'S' man as cis •r sexvree ., dirigible between cities in German have demonstrated the possibllitie sof the lighter than air machine it trans-Atlantic and other long routes (commander Sir Trevor Dawson, R.N. managing director of Vickers, Ltd. stated in an address made before the recent air conference held . at the Guildhall, in ,London. The airship, Sir Trevor said, would be most useful between' Europe and America, South Africa, India, Ano tralia and the'East, long trips being the specialty of the airship and shorter, faster trips being more in the sphere of the airplane. He point- ed out that the Bodensee airship was operated between Berlin and Friedriehshafen, at' less than half the cost of airplane service of the same carrying capacity. * k There is great need at present for an "air taxi," a light, economical air- plane with a low powered motor, which could be used to 'carry two pas- sengers at moderate rates, in the opinion of Capt. De Haviland, the London Times states. The engineer is greatly interested in monoplane passenger machines. "A new type of passenger ..mono- pilane on whish we are working, de- signed to meet the requirements of Continental traffic next spring, carnes a pilot and six passengers,"he says. "We. expect to be able to fly this•ma- chine, which will be very low hr its first cost, at a cruising speed of 100 miles an hour with motor developing 240 horse -power. At present motors of this power are used between Lon- don and the Continent to fly machines which carry only two passengers in addition to the pilot." * * All Europe is working secretly to develop planes which will give them domination in the air, according to C. L. Egtvedt, chief engineer for the Boeing Airplane Company of Seattle, Wash., who recently returned from a tour of inspection in Great Britain, France and Germany. He said that $1,000,000 worth of freight had been transported out of the United King- dom -by air this year and $2;000,000 worth imported in the same way. In a single year 1,325 planes reached. England from the Continent and 1,455 departed. Reports reaching London are that the Zeppelin company plans to build two super Zeppelins ,in the United States for use in freight service be- tween.San Francisco and Berlin, stop- ping at Paris, New York and Chicago. The Vickers company in collabora- tion with the British Admiralty has worked out a type of mooring tower to which the largest airships may be moored and left securely in all weath- ers for weeks at a time.
