Medicinal Plants.
To describe, or even to give a list of
the five. hundred varieties of plants
that come under the bead of medicin•
al, as given in a more than ordinarily
interesting Bulletin by Assistant
Dominion Botanist, J. Adams, M. A.,
would take up an exceptional amount
of space. Mr. Adams entitles his
publication, "Medicinal Plants and
Their Cultivation in Canada." It is
Bulletin No. 23, Second Series, of the
Experimental Farms, and can be had
free by addressing the Publications
Branch, Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa. Director Grisdale, of the
Dominion Experimental Farms, makes
a correct estimate when he says "Such
information as is contained in this
publication should be of value to
many of our farmers-" Dominion
Botanist Gussow explains that the
bulletin owes its preparation to the
numerous inquiries received from time
to time relating to the cultivation of
plants possessed of certain medicinal
or health restoring properties. Mr.
Adams, who was formerly lecturer on
Botany and Vegetable Materia Medica
at Dublin, Iceland, sugg:sts that no
farmer rune any risk by devoting a
small plot of about an acre to drug
culture as au experiment for a few
years. But for anybody to go head'
long into the business as a speculation
would be unwise.

HINTS WORTH REMEMBER-
ING.
Wire baskets united up on the
wall of a pautry make tt ince
receptacle for vegetables, espe-
cially when a pantry is small
and has little door space,
Try washing your teeth with
lemon water, Squeeze half a
lemon in a glass of water end
wash your teeth with it.
It you have an accident with
the belt of your sewing machiee
you can repair it yourself. Make
fresh holes in the belt and put
through, allowing for tying, a
piece of millinery wire out of an
old hat brim. '.Cie the two ends
firmly and smoothly together.
Lou will find this n success, apd
it will last.
When ready to boll white
clothes cut a lemon in half noel
drop it into the boiler.
Do not iron garments male of
outing flannel. Brush them with
a stiff brush, and it will renew
the softness.
To make ferns, geraniums and
nearly all house plants grow put
a teaspoonful of ammonia in one
quart of lukewarm water and
water the plants. Do not use
more than twice a week.
A very coarse scrubbing brush
will be found the best tiling for
removing the threads, hairs, etc.,
which are so hard to get out of
the brushes of n carpet sweeper.
Add two tablespoonfuls of tur-
pentine to one pailful of water
and soak colored cotton goods
overnight, This will usually set
the daintiest colors,- even in low
priced lawns, and will not injure
the fabric.

THE GUEST ROOM.
What to Provide For It to Make It
Comfortable and Charming.
With regard to the furnishing and ar-
rangements of the spare room there is
real pleasure in making It as charming
and as homelike as possible.
A writing table prettily arranged
with inkstand, blotting book and note
paper is a great addition to the spare
room and one that sbould always be
managed if possible. The chnuces are
that all tbe desks downstairs are used
by members of the family, and a new.
comer has no place where she can
scribble in comfort unless she can fine
a haven in her own room. Besides, how
could she ever get a moment to herself
if she bad not the recognized excuse of.
"a few Important letters to write?"
It is rather the fashion now for
hostesses to provide many little extra
comforts for their guests. When the
water is hard some sweet scented soft-
ener is often to be found in the bath-
room, and occasionally we are treated
to a bottle of eau de cologne or of sal
volatile: A little plate of crackers al.
most invariably has a place on the
bedside table, and, of course, n shelf
of readable books is placed somewhere
in the room.
The modern craze .for old fashioned
furniture should not be allowed to in-
terfere with the comfort of our vis -
hers. Probably some of us have ex-
perienced the awkwardness of having
to do our Italy before an ancient mirror
which distorts our features unci Makes
us feel as if we were looking into a
spoon. One kind bncbelor host always
insists ..pr} every guest Nem to leis
house having its own comfortable sofa,
whatever period the furnishing may'
be, and a very good idea it is, too. But
most people would be content with one

THE WI NG HAM AD V ATCB
TO RAISED SIIIPS.
Canadian Conrntission Approves tai
Capt. Midford'a Scheme,
A method for the raising of sunk.
en ships of any tonnage, however,
badly injured, front any depth at
which a diver can work, bas been
considered recently by a commission
of maritime authorities of the Cana-
dian Naval Service Department, has
been approved by this commission,
and has been recommended for con•
sideration to the British. Admiralty.
This method is the result of long anti
careful study and practical expert-
ence, both as a inarhler and as an
engineer, on the part of Capt, A. G.
Midford of Toronto, who is now in
Ottawa conferring further with the
authorities. The details of the meth-
od have already been forwarded to
the Admiralty,
The proposal, which is of great
interest and value on account of the
sinking of the Lusitania and other
British ships since the war commenc-
ed, embodies neither empiricism nor
guesswork, but is said to he based
upon the established methods and
the practice of modern civil engin-
eering and natural laws. By this
method, it is claimed, a ship Of any
tonnage, however badly injured, may
be raised from any depth at wbich a
diver can work, economically and
speedily, and in such a manner that
it can be repaired and returned to
the service for which it was design-
ed in a tithe of the time which it
would take to build a new vessel.
Capt. Midferd's methods further
embody a proposal by which a. cer-
tain degree of unsinkability in ships
can be attained. He claims that a
review of recent maritime disasters
shows that there is a period of great-
er or less duration between the col-
lision, whether it be by a torpedo, or
with an iceberg, during which the
vessel remains afloat. This is caused
by the air entrapped in various in-
verted cavities throughout the ves-
sel. Capt. Midford contends that he
has a practical and feasible plan
to secure a continuance of these
conditions, and thus enable the ves-
sel to remain afloat long enough, in
spite of her injuries, to secure assist-
ance and afford a chance to rescue
passengers and crew at least. A
practical device for producing such
a condition of "unsinkability," he
claims, need occupy none of the
space required for commorolal pur-
poses, could be arranged so as to be
instantaneously available, and at a
comparatively small expense could
be applied to any vessel afloat,
"The torpedoing and sinking of
the Lusitania," said Capt. Midford
in an interview given at the capital,
"recalls the temporary ' interest
created on the occasions of the vari-
ous other disasters, such as those of
the Titanic allil the llmpress Of Ire-
land, in life-saving and unsinkabil-
ity as applied to ships, Commissions
were appointed at the time and in-
vestigators set to work, presumably
with the object of looking over all
plans proposed to them, and of se-
lecting the most suitable, but the
fact that the Lusitania foundered in
eighteen minutes proves that noth-
in.; practical has been accomplished,
and particularly that no efficient
scheme for safety at see has been in-
sisted upon as a measure of public
safety, Lord Mersey was fully alive
to the necessity of investigating all
plans brought to the commission's
attention, and of trying those which
gave promise of effecting the result
required. Regarding certain plans
submitted at that time be remarked:
'They are well wortb considering.'
That they were not looked into and
nothing effective adopted is shown
by the disasters such as that of the
Lusitania, the •At}tieelptla end ether
vessels of smaller size whichhave
gone down suddenly of late."
Steam Trawling.
The line fishermen of Annapolis,
Digby and Yarmouth counties in
Nova Scotia have recently been voic-
ing their grievance against trawling
as a method of fishing. The stea>i1

UTILIZING PAVING MATERIAL
Canada has millions of acres of the
finest timber in the world, and the
men and the mills to handle it. Many
of our woods are not used for certain
purposes because they have not been
tested for those uses. Sometimes we
have actually imported woods when
we had better kinds at home but did
not know it. To make the best nee of
our native woods the Dominion De-
partment of the Interior bac establisb-
sd in connection with the Forestry
Branch a forests products labratory.
This institution is constantly at work
testing woods for paper m 1king,bv •
ing, furniture, etc. Art investigation
of the use of wood for block paving
has just been cctnpleied and the re-
sults issued in a. pamphlet entitled
'Treated Wood -Block Paving". This
giveriethe latest finite and figures in
regard to wood paving in Europe and
America and removes many miscon-
ceptions. It shows the points to be
guarded to secure the best results. Al'
cit'zens interested in wood-blocle. pav
ing may have a copy of tads pamphlc
sent free to them by writing to the

have to go at all!

this rule of first using the Long Distance
Telephone; you would save yourself and
1
your staff many tiresome trips, unnecessary
disappointments and much expense.'
Many progressive business houses have
found that by a systematic and persistent
use of the Long Distance Telephone travell-
ing expense can be reduced anywhere from
20 to 80 per cent. -
Why not adopt this principle in your
business? Telephone first! Try to figure
'out where the Long Distance Telephone
can save you precious time!
